I’m surprised no-one else has mentioned it yet, but there is a certain chain of shops around called “Transformation” that are especially for girls like us. If you walk in, then they already know why you are there, so there is no need to be embaressed. There’s a shop in Manchester (as well as in […]

I realize there can be a lot of worries when you are just coming out as a crossdresser. But its worth remembering. The retail trade is badly hit at the moment, and we are the ones with the cash to spend. Do you truly believe that any shop in this current climate, will turn down […]

it’s much easier than you think. I do it all the time, and so do hundreds of other t-girls. But I would advise having a mental ‘shopping list’ and sticking to it. For example, item, size, color preferences and so on. That way you don’t rush out of the shop with something unsuitable. Just bear […]

I am a 20-year-old cd and I really need to buy some new things. I would just use eBay but I can’t have things delivered to my house due to my parents finding out and opening packages. So I was wondering if anyone knew any friendly shops in and around Manchester that aren’t going to […]

I have just been reading the thread on eyebrow wax. It is in my experience very good for far distant ultra camp drag. However, it is pretty awful to use and does not really look very effective close-up. It’s also really hard to get it right, and makeup put on top can smudge. This itself […]

The trick is to pluck a bit at a time. If you suddenly go from Dennis Healey to Kate Winslett overnight your colleagues might notice. If you remove a bit each week they probably won’t If they are men they definitely won’t If they are women they might, but then they also might find you […]

That’s absolutely brilliant I’ll be buying some of the wax (even though I’ll need a lot of practice by the sound of it ) I want to be as convincing as possible, but difficult to pluck too much at moment. My very understanding wife knows I dress. This means I can be totally smooth in […]

Yes, you can get it from most theatrical makeup shops, and even fancy dress shops. It is made by kryolin and comes in a stick. It is actually plastic wax You can get derma wax too. This is easier to use in a circular tub. You need a spatula to spread it on, or a […]

Does anyone know where I can get wax to conceal my eyebrows before making up? What do I ask for? Any advice very gratefully accepted. I’m desperate to be as convincing as possible
