In bed that night, my bed feels unusually slinky. It’s quite nice being hairless. I wake early and have a long lie in before dressing and heading downstairs. The party isn’t until 3.00pm so there’s plenty of time. I wear joggers and a T shirt. Sally wears a plain dress over a little T shirt […]

Mum left me alone for a second whilst I fiddled and faffed with the funny little clips. “How you getting on?” she asked when she returned. My dress is in one hand. My shoes in the other. She seemed impressed that I’d clipped all four straps on myself, but it wasn’t exactly hard. I wanted […]

My dress lay in wait on her duvet. Like a python its motionless, as if pretending to sleep… waiting until I’m close enough and it’ll strike in an instant and wrap itself around me. The reality is far slower. Mum smiles as she turns it over and unfastens the zip. Then she holds it and […]

As the time that Sally’s guests were due to arrive approached, I became increasingly nervous. I know that I feel nice but fear that I look ridiculous… and with three girls from my school coming, there’s a very strong chance that by Monday, my entire year will know that I wore a dress on my […]

The Silence probably only lasted for a second or two… but it felt like minutes. A deep sense of shame flooded through me as my sister’s four guests just looked and looked at me. This is the moment I’d been dreading. The moment of ridicule that will spill into tomorrow and the days after that. […]

Mel and I glanced at each other and rolled our eyes. “Time to get back in to character.” I grinned. We sat in a circle and got giggly as the cheesy music began and the parcel was passed from hand to hand. Not a single one of us would have played this lame game since […]

Sally grouped us altogether to play one more party game. Myself, Melanie and Mollie formed one team and Sally, Sarah and Kirsten formed the other. We played balloon volleyball using the bunting as a net. It wasn’t easy but it was lots of fun. The premise was first team to ten points would win but […]

  Mom took a deep breath before looking at me. I didn’t say anything, I shrugged, whatever. “Okay,” Mom set the empty basket on the sofa, “Bobby you will need to check the machine in twenty minutes. Here are the two quarters for the dryer.” She set the quarters on the counter. “Turn the dial […]

Hiya everybody, ive never really used these forums before…. Anyway I’m looking to start playing around with make up… But it’s a wee bit confusing there’s so much available lol Having never used anything more than a bit of lippy before, I’m not sure what I need, shades etc. So I was wondering if any […]

Hello, all! So I’m at a fun point in my life where the majority of my close friends and all of my immediate family know about my dressing up, and, thankfully, all seem super cool with it. At this point, I feel like I’ve told everyone who is remotely important to me, but then I […]
