I've always noticed that some TVs like to dress more "girly" than any self respecting girl would, shorter skirts, more makeup. I thought that maybe it was some kind of over compensation for their male side. Even though very short skirts don't really hide your maleness :-/

I've started doing it myself recently and I think I do it for a slightly different reason: pure attention! Yes I would have to categorise myself as the exhibitionist type (example). It's a new side of me that I quite like, I always kinda fancied being a pro drag queen, and think I should probably thank Becky for convincing me to buy that outfit and give it a go. Now I need to figure out how to push the boundaries a little further, there are so many fantastic outfits out there! (Please send donations for Jessica's Super High Platforms fund to the following address... ;) )

Gemma:

You're going to push the boundaries of the infra-pink? This is getting scary! Any thoughts on where you're going to take the world of trannydom? :D 

Kate Weston:

Well I clinked on the 'example' link ... when I regained the power of sight I armed myself with a pair of sun-glasses and examined the pic again. Thats a very pink pink, and thats a very short skirt and I am fascinated to see where your boundary pushing will take you. (you surely can't get pinker and the skirt surely can't get shorter.) 

Mia:

I have thought about this subject as well adn have come to some conclusions of my own. Firstly, as sad as it is, the maturity level of our tranny side is not even with the maturity of our body (male or female) usually. So we tend to try to pull off the "13 year old girl" look when we are 18, 25, or 30. We need to learn to restrain ourselves to age appropriate clothes (at least when headed out). Secondly, I know very few trannys who wear flats. It just isn't girly enough in our eyes. We grew up as boys wearing nothing with a heel and so now that we can why shouldn't we? This seems to be a common attitude as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. Some T*girls seem to think that even 1 or 2" heels aren't high enough and consequently we end up wearing 3,4, and 5" heels all the time! How many real girls do that? I have several other theories on this phenomenon, including something amounting to "trying to make up for lost time". It is all rather interesting. 

Jane:

I say go for it, just as long as you have fun doing so.

Mia, as a women with only size 5 feet, I find wearing even 3 inch heels hard I don't think I could wear 4 inch ones at all as I would almost be on tip toe all the time, that's why we don't tend to wear the really high heels we can't do it comfortably. 

Jessica:

I'm 6'4 and I still can't bring myself to wear flats! Heels are just better, they change your whole stature and walk, make it all girlier. 

Emily:

Wearing heels DEFINATELY gives one a more feminine walk. You have to walk feminine or fall on your butt! And as far as "real" women, I could sit out in my jeans and t-shirt and be as real as most of the women in my town, and I do that sometimes, but other times that's not the point. It's not about "real" it's about unreal! 

Mia:

That is definitely true, unreal is fun sometimes. I wear an 8.5 US and so I can definitely find 3 and 4" heels that I can wear. I really think that you should dress however you want in private, but go a bit on the realitic side in a public place (besides Transmission or some other trans oriented place). On a shopping trip lets say. It pays to pass in that instance and 4" heels and a uber mini are not going to help you pass unless you are 15. 

Mia:

Oh! Left something out. Yes! Heels do force you to walk like a woman. One time at a party I was at with some really close friends (who didn't know at the time) I ended up wearing a pair of heels. Of course, this wasn't my first time, but I told them it was. They were like "Wow! You look like you've done this before!" All I said was I was doing what I had to not to fall on my ass. They totally bought it. Cause it is the truth.
