I have been a closet crossdresser since my mid teens when I guess I began really noticing the difference between males and females. I felt more comfortable in the company of women, and frequently did chores around the neighborhood to be closer to some of my older female neighbors.

My first time completely transformed as a female happened when an impulse struck me to feel closer to the woman who hired me to babysit her very young children once or twice a week on regular basis. Although she was married, her husband was usually not around much of the time. One evening after the kids were settled in, I noticed her bikini hanging on a rack in the laundry room. The more I looked at it, the more I felt the need to see how it would look and feel on me. From that point, I was hooked, and I was quite fortunate in that I could fit into most of her outfits. She also had a few wigs, so I was always able to wear one of them when I transformed into her and saw the reflection in the mirror (at least in my mind, I felt I was more her than myself).

My wife and family do not know about this side of me, and for most of my life I have dressed in complete secrecy. It is only the advent of the Web and forums such as this that have allowed me to talk about dressing with people that know how I feel.

Unfortunately, I have purged far too many times, and have vowed to never purge again. I love classic styles and enjoy emulating the looks of what might be described as a successful business woman and mom.

70 inches tall, brown hair (I need to wear wigs while in female mode), brown eyes, and working to stay in size 16 or 18 dresses. I love white wines, with Chardonnay being the usual kind. I do not smoke and do not like that smell at all.
