Have you ever tried cross-dressing?

Why did you wanted to have revenge on that singer?



So you basically went out of your way to make sure you stop your crossdressing routine?

A "wig of doom" you say? That sounds really funny! Are they really that heavy? Or are they somewhat difficult to handle?

Totally not cross dressing, but for NYE I wore a "glitter beard" & again for NYD night's party - and also covered my upper body in glitter lol. So much fun at the parties I went to. NYD night I made a point of saying to one of my friends from the beach that even just doing the glitter beard thing I totally understand more and more the fun that him and his friends have dressing up in drag and doing drag shows. (he's a bearded drag queen known as Katy Hairy.) Heh, just thought I'd share.

If I had a dollar for every amazingly wonderful pun drag kings and queens come up with...

The only female clothing item which would be comfortable to me (and then, only when it's warm), is a skirt. Even with a skirt, I would feel funny. I would have to take care not to show my "jewels" within such venues as the Subway.

I don't envy women one bit! I'm glad they were smart enough to start wearing sneakers during the 1980 Transit Strike in NYC.

Sneakers are the way to go for me. I would rather not wear anything on my feet, come to think of it.

Something that enormous can have.... issues.

Alot of it is the length that does it. If you like getting caught on stupid things like chairs or elevator doors, then a super looooooooong wig or costume piece is just what you want!

Hell, like those red.... things.... that are on Noel's arms (I showed her earlier in the thread). They're very long, and they hang down pretty much to the floor. When I'm in that outfit, I learned to actually grab them halfway down and just hold onto them like that the whole time. Otherwise they'll catch on everything, trip people, or get stuck on stuff.

With a wig though, you also have to worry about taking care of it. Seriously, the things can be SUCH a pain in the butt; I dont like dealing with them. The bigger/longer it is, the more you have to do for upkeep, and the more things there are that can go wrong.

This is why I tend to want to do characters with hair that is either the same color as mine, or at the very least just blonde (close enough). It's *the* reason why I havent done Misery yet. Makes a character like Blanc that much more appealing to me in some ways.

I had two girlfriends as a kid and they would dress me up sometimes. They bossed me around like crazy. Never tried it on my own though. As an adult I wouldn't mind it but it would be just for fun and not to achieve any kind of self-fulfillment.
Does anyone know if crossplay (cross dressing and cosplay) is a big thing btw?

Not really a "big thing", as most cosplayers dont do it, but typically, all cosplayers know what it is and will probably have seen it in action.

I'm not counting "joke" crossplay when I'm talking about this though. You know, the sort that'll do a crossplay with the intent of looking as terrible as possible (yes, there are those that do this) to get a few laughs.

In my area, I think they call that "camp drag"...

What a wonderfully *happy* group of people - look at those smiles! Makes me want to go find a horn-hat, or whatever they're wearing.

Oh, and learn to be social with groups.

Here are some pictures of me crossdressing again, only this time I'm actually wearuing a wig!! !

*Note to Misery*

Actually I felt slightly negative about the wig, more or less in the same fashion as you usually are. It's just that... My eyebrows...THAT BEARD...! !! They stick out like a sore thump! But regardless I've learned to get used to it. And I feel as beautiful as ever!! !

Also, that black wig I ordered from ebay should help make me feel like myself.

Wigs like that one are one of the reasons why I just let my hair grow out like it is. Sooooooo much less irritating and it contributes to the androgynous look.

Though, for the purposes of cosplay, it isnt very useful. The one character I could probably do maybe using just my normal hair is her: http://i.imgur.com/qCrGNy0.jpg

Anyone else requires a wig because everyone else has wacky hair colors. It doesnt help that I tend to feel ridiculous if I try wearing one.

As for beards, well.... that's what a razor is for Sometimes I also use a small bit of makeup to cover up what the godforsaken electric razor misses if it is bugging me. I do tend to shave really obsessively though. I'd rather just kill off the stupid facial hair though, would do that if I had the option. Would save ALOT of time.

Eyebrows I never even notice.

I spoke to a CD dude last nite who went through laser hair removal. His face looked really good although it's not cheap.

Actually I think I can cosplay her with my natural black hair:



Not to mention I do that same pose she's doing A LOT!! ! (even in public as my disgusting male self! )

What do you think?



Thank you very much! Althogh I think my hair made them really hard to notice though. Oh here I go again acting like you. no offense by the way.
