My Story of how I got Here

By Joanna Lace

I’m not sure if I can say I’m a Cross-dresser as I only do so in the privacy of my own home and only wear lingerie when I do. I thought I would take this opportunity to tell my story of how I got here.

When I was 9 or 10 I walked to school with a girl that lived near me and she wore a scarf that somehow ended up in my hand and remember the feel of it in my fingers. I didn’t know what the material was back then but I loved the feel of it and it stayed with me. I had a sister a year or so older than me and as she grew older she began to wear more girly clothes and I would check-out her things and found panties and a dress with similar feel as the scarf and learned it was silk and nylon fabrics. I would put them on when I had the place to myself. I was in heaven wearing such things. The feel on my body and on my privates was amazing. I was hooked and knew I had to have this in my life but wasn’t sure how.

As I got older I would purposely go through the women’s lingerie department so I could at least surround myself with beautiful lingerie and cop a feel. I could and did buy silk shorts which helped fill the need to wear somewhat but they weren’t feminine enough for me. I wasn’t satisfied with just the feel but wanted the feminine look as well. I wanted to wear beautiful gowns and bring out the woman that is inside of me. When I married I thought this might give me the opportunity to wear such things occasionally. I bought a nightgown for my wife but knew I would wear it when the opportunity presented itself. I even asked if she would be okay with me doing so but she wasn’t okay with it. Eventually we divorced and once I was single I began to indulge my desire to wear what I loved. I bought panties, cami’s, thigh-highs, garters and long flowing sheer gowns.

Now years later it’s become much easier to buy the beautiful things I want and go even further to get the feminine look that I want. Recently I bought my first wig and breast-forms. I want to have the complete feminine look and hope to find someone that can teach me how to do make-up to complete the look I desire. Its been an interesting journey so far and hope to meet the right person to share the woman that lives inside of me.
