Christmas and New Year have long gone, the snow now seems to save it’s worst for February, and the shops and fashions look tired! Opaque tights and scarves rule the High Streets – yeuk!! It’s even worse for girls!!

Right, SNAP OUT OF IT!

OK, it can be quite a lonely existence, thinking you’re the only tranny in the village …. but did you ever wonder what life’s like outside the village boundary?!

Life’s TOO short to sit and mope behind your net curtains. And remember ….. no matter what you’re going through and feeling, the chances are that someone’s been there already! All you have to do is summon up the courage to seek and ask for help …. and it can start with a phonecall or online – so no-one can see you!!

If you’ve ever seen The Lord Of The Rings just remember what adventures Frodo went through when he was offered help from ‘The Fellowship’?! I know Freda’s not a brilliant femme name to adopt but just bear that in mind when you hesitate to go forth from The Shires! Some of my best times have been when I’m out dressed.

As I write this I’m almost ready for another of my Kathy days out – well, window shopping anyway! I have my makeup on, nails painted, wardrobe decided (flat boots today, heels aren’t good for shopping!). God forbid, it’s going to be trousers unfortunately as it’s so cold today. And hair almost in place – I don’t know about you but my wig is always the last piece of my Kathy jigsaw.

Three years ago I would never have thought I’d be in this position – I was at my lowest, loneliest position approaching my 50^th birthday (no need to dwell on that). But here I am today with a whole new set of friends, and a brilliant partner who accepts me for who I am, and not for what society says I should be like (we both did our nails together last night, aah, the simple pleasures!). I’ve organised three Enigma Balls at the superbBletchleyPark (and the next one on the way in May!) which lots of cross-dressers have enjoyed – and LIFE’S GOOD!

And one of the landmarks in my journey over the past few years was the first conversation and meeting I ever had with Lynne at Femesque. I was already confident in and comfortable with myself, having come to terms with how I am over many years. I was happy with my wig, which as I’ve said before is fundamental to how I feel.

And then ….. OMG! I found a new hairpiece through Lynne and became 10 years younger! My outlook and style totally changed overnight! It’s cost me a whole new wardrobe but it’s been worth every penny! Gone are the doldrums and I’m going to finish this piece as soon as I can because I’m wasting precious shopping time!

A few months back a girl in Maidenhead actually came up to me in the street and asked me where I got my hair done because she’d been looking around for a salon that would cut and colour hers exactly like mine!! She was gob-smacked when I told her it was a wig! Well, she was gob-smacked anyway:

• It could have been because she never realised it was a wig
• It COULD have been because she never realised I was a guy! 

Haha and yippee! All because of one little phone call – THANKS LYNNE!

Who knows where it will all end? I’ve already had my journey to Mordor and back (for LOTR fans)! More adventures for certain!

Remember:

• It’s NEVER too late
• Life’s TOO short
• You are NOT alone!

Just give us a call!

Big hugs and lots of kisses

Kathy

Amanda loves shopping and going out en femme. Getting dressed as a woman is a thrilling experience. Lingerie on super soft smooth skin feels so natural. I just love the full and total transformation. The top layers though are what you see and how you present yourself to the world. Amanda wants a convincing professional look. I’m very confident in my own skin. Amanda is an integral part of me! I just love Karen Millen skirts, tops and dresses. I adore the fabrics, colours, styles and fit of her clothes. I’ve had several very complimentary comments about my clothes at Femesque Cheese and Wine evenings. Where do I get my bargains? Firstly, I regularly visit Karen Millen’s shop in Guildford. The girls know me and are very helpful. Secondly I go the their Gunwharf Quays outlet shop in Portsmouth, some real begins to be had. Lastly I use local dress agencies a lot. Some serious bargains can be found. The owners know Amanda well and will get in touch when Karen Millen clothing comes in. When out dressed in stylish clothes I feel very confident as a woman. Amanda loves shopping. She has just come back from Gunwharf Quays with some more stylish clothes. Girls get out and enjoy you female side. If you don’t have the confidence to go out on you own get in touch with the girls at Femesque. They will be more than happy to go with you and help you out. Get out and enjoy you feminine side.

Lots of love

Over the years, like many, I have tried on a number of wigs and had a series of good and bad hair days wasting a great deal of money making the mistake of ordering a wig over the internet which is hardly ever a good idea.

I arrived at Femesque and, as always, received a warm welcome from Lynne putting me at ease. First, in a private dressing room my eyebrows were reshaped looking fantastic in female mode whilst still blending in back in male mode. Next my makeup was expertly applied and Lynne, with her years of experience working with hair and wigs, helped me try on more wigs than I can remember. Throughout the process she gave her expert opinion and I felt completely confident in her ability unlike some of my other experiences where they simply just want you to buy something that may well never suit you.

In the end I chose one of their new lace front wigs which provides an incredibly realistic hair line with the individual hairs really looking like they are your own, something which has to be experienced to be believed. Following on from my choice the wig was professionally trimmed to fit me perfectly and Lynne showed me how I could simply change the look myself by wearing it up or down giving me instruction on how to do this myself. I was so impressed with the finished result and the realistic appearance that I had no problem in finding the confidence to walk out and go home still dressed.

Since getting a wig styled by Femesque I have had so many people comment about how good it looks and, with the realistic lace front, people are amazed that it is not my own hair. If anyone out there is considering investing in a new wig then I would strongly urge you to visit the team. You wont regret it!

Here I sit on the train home after the most wonderful experience of my life. How can I even start to thank you? Words fail me and nothing I write comes close to how I am feeling right now (yep, I’ve had several attempts and each time hit the delete button and started again). Any choice of words wouldn’t express the depth of gratitude I feel inside. So, all I can say is “thank you” and hope that you know exactly how heartfelt those simple words really are.

You have transformed my life. Not only are you delightful people you have established the most relaxing and equipped environment in which to express myself. For far too long I have remained hidden from view, including from myself, but today you revealed the real me to the world and gave me a wonderful gift; the confidence to continue on life’s journey as the person I really am in EVERY aspect. Today you completed me!!!

I am so looking forward to meeting the other girls (wow, that feels so great to say!!) and to experience a few hours being me and finally mixing socially. With your support, encouragement and, of course, expertise, I know I am in safe hands as I venture further in to the big wide world! Wow, what an adventure of discovery!

Anyone with the right basic skills can provide the service you do. The real difference is the way in which you have befriended, guided and totally relaxed me in to a world I thought was beyond my reach. So, once again, I’ll use two simple words in the hope that you will understand their true meaning “THANK YOU!”

I’m off to do some internet shopping now, a girl has to look good and feel good for her debut wine & cheese party after all!!

Oh, before I go – “THANK YOU!”
