A true story
A Bag of rags part one: Big brother's laugh
There are many stories on this site, some fantastical, some obvious
wishes, or fantasies, and some no doubt based on what the writer has
experienced., this story is a factual telling of some of the times that
I found myself dressing as the opposite gender. I haven't used names,
because I don't want to embarrass anyone, particularly me. If I'm
honest about it, after the initial incident, I didn't try to hard, not
to be made to wear girls, or women's, clothes, or decided to by my own
volition. I'm not turned on, or masturbate, when I first get dressed,
but I do find the feel of the clothes rubbing against another woman's
clothes very exciting.
When I was young, and had first discovered the enjoyment of wearing
girls clothes I even made myself feel ill with jealousy at a relations
wedding, because I had to wear a horrible suit, replete with tie, and
all the girl relatives were bridesmaids, it seemed that they were spoilt
and wore lovely dresses. They complained about having to wear such
frothy things, but I would have happily swapped clothes with them if
only they had asked me. I would even have liked to be a pageboy, if I
could have worn a kilt, and frilly shirt, but it wasn't to be.
I digress, the first time that I dressed as a girl was when I was seven,
during the school summer holidays. My big Brother, and I, had got bored
one day, it was raining, and our next door neighbour, who was "A Bag of
Rags looking after us" , basically she fed us, and we spent most of our
time on our own; she had given us some old rags to play with, big
brother, wanted to make some clothes for his teddy.
Whilst rummaging through the box he came across an old girls' school
summer uniform dress, it was a typical summer dress with a small green
cotton gingum pattern, and a white cotton petticoat, which to my horror,
he held against me, and reckoned they, would fit me. We were called
round to the neighbour's house, for dinner, and he apparently had
forgotten what he had said, because he didn't mention it again.
The next morning, we had got up early because our mother insisted on us
having breakfast before she left for work at 08.30,08.30; he thought we
should play monopoly, there as there was a sun shower outside, with the
winner able to dare the loser to do anything.
The weather improved while we were playing, the sun had come out; it
didn't take long, he won when I landed on Mayfair with a hotel on it. I
had lost. The dare was to put on the dress and petticoat, with a pair
of my lighter coloured ankle socks, and my Woolworths finest unisex,
(that wasn't a word in use then), plastic sandals, then run round the
house, from the front door to the back door, he would beat me up, if I
refused. I knew better than to refuse, he was bigger than I was, and
would win in a straight fight.
I took my time, to answer, after all, he wanted me to wear girl's
clothes, I couldn't think of anything more embarrassing, girls were like
aliens, strange things that clung to their mothers, screamed, and cried
for nothing, and he wanted me to dress like one. I reluctantly gave in,
with my right arm being held up my back, while he threatened me, and
accepted the dare.
To spread the time out, I pretended not to be able to find my pale beige
ankle socks, the nearest thing I had to girls socks, he found them
though, so I took off the socks, and shoes that I was wearing, and put
the socks, and plastic sandals on.
He had a grin all over his face, as I removed my T-shirt, and shorts,
and couldn't contain his laughter when he handed me the petticoat to put
on. It had, what I now know to be, ?-inch broderie anglaise, running
down both sides of the straps, and the 2-inch version around the hem,
playing for time, I had to find out where the label was, but eventually
pulled it on over my head. He made a big play of making sure that it
was hanging properly. I felt really stupid, and vulnerable, stood there
in this really girlie piece of clothing.
Then the dreaded dress, but at least it would cover up the girlie
petticoat. I was dismayed to find that it fastened up the back, but
pulled it over my head, and pushed my arms into the little puff ball
sleeves, the sort that only come down to your armpit, and puff out,
between the shoulder, and the hem, which just about fitted around my
arms. Again he made a big play of getting it right, before he buttoned
it up, at this point I realised I was totally under his control, I
couldn't reach around my back to unbutton the dress. He told me that I
had to do the next part of the dare, or he would leave me dressed like
that until Mom, or worse still Dad, came home. I argued about it, but I
was trapped, and I knew that he would leave me dressed up.
Slowly I walked to the front window, and had a look to see if anyone was
about, it looked clear, and so heart in mouth, I opened the front door,
and ran round the side of the house to the back door. The door was
locked, which meant he had bolted it shut from the inside, there was no
key, all the downstairs windows were shut, the toilet window, it was
upstairs, but, I had climbed the down pipe to get in before, when I was
locked out, was also shut. He, had followed me round, then he dropped
the coupe de gras; he didn't have the front door key. I was outside,
dressed as a girl, and had no chance of getting back into the house.
Following an argument, about whether, or not, he had the key, and me
bursting into tears, and having been told that I must be a girl, because
I was crying like one, I eventually calmed down. We went onto the lawn,
and kicked a ball about, he just had to rub it in, and he kept saying
that I was playing like a girl.
We had a large playing field behind the house, and some friends
appeared, two boys, and two girls, wanting us to play cricket with them.
We often played tip it, and run; boys against girls, and there was
usually an argument about who should play with the girls, and we always
bowled underarm to the girls, after all bunging a corky ball down at
girls wasn't fair was it.
"Are you a girl now?" they asked me,
"No, I'm not," I replied, but there wasn't going to be an argument that
today, I was dressed more girlie than the girls, who were both wearing
shorts, as the only one wearing a dress, I was definitely going to be
playing on the girls team.
My brother explained with great amusement what had happened, and they
decided that I should have a girls name to go with my clothes, so I
became Jane; someone had been watching a Tarzan movie. I then had the
ultimate insult, they insisted on bowling underarm to me, "just like the
other girls". Surprisingly it didn't take long before I got used to
running about with my skirts flapping about my legs, and being blown
about by the wind, while I was standing still. The boys trying to look
at my "knickers", by flicking up my skirt, wasn't fun though. I was
beginning to feel as if I really was a girl, the clothes really felt
comfortable.
We had to stop for lunch or dinner as we called it then, and we had to
go to our neighbours' house to eat, there was no getting out of it, we
couldn't think of any excuse for me not going to her house. She smiled,
and said that I looked nice, but she thought that we had wanted the
cloth for sewing, not to wear the clothes.
He gave her his version of what had happened, apparently, she believed
him, but she had decided, and made an appointment, to go and visit one
of her relatives, her daughter; phones weren't so common then, there was
no way she could cancel it. Her other daughter had brought her car to
drive us there, and we would have to go with her. She also thought I
looked very nice, and worried me even more by asking whether her mother
still had a cardigan, or one of her boaters, to go with the school
dress, which would have made me look like a real schoolgirl. For some
reason the walk to the car, at the front of the house, made me feel very
scared, I thought the whole road, inclusive of some kids we hated, would
see, and laugh at me, I was grateful at the time, that she didn't have a
boater, but the cardigan would have at least covered up the sleeves.
We arrived at the house, and my brother went off to play with her son,
they all kept calling me Jane, as that is what my brother had told our
neighbour was the name I had been given while playing cricket. My
neighbour thought it would be less embarrassing for me if everyone
treated me as if I was a real girl, rather than a boy dressing up as
one. I was left with the women, and wound up helping to get the tea and
biscuits, with everyone saying what a lovely girl I was. By this time,
I was enjoying the fuss from the adults, something I never got as a boy.
I think they were quite enjoying having a girl, all be it a pretend one,
in the house.
We got home, and my Brother magically produced the key to the house so
we were able to get in before my parents came home, and he unbuttoned
me. The next day he cut up the dress, and the petticoat, I felt very
sick, as he destroyed the clothes, because I had enjoyed my time being a
girl, and really hoped that he would make me wear them again.
I had really enjoyed being a girl, he hadn't hit me once while I was
wearing a dress, something that he did regularly otherwise, the idea
that being a girl would be better, than being a boy, had imprinted
itself on my Psyche. I started to dream of waking up as a girl, or at
least being made to wear a dress. I had some action men, and made
dresses for them to wear, so that I could play with my dollies the same
way as girls did.
If I had thought that, my parents didn't know, although my mother had
painted my toenails, one day while she was doing her own nails. I found
out different with the next time I got dressed up. It wasn't long
afterwards, actually, it was my birthday in December, and we had gone to
the works children's Christmas do. We went by coach, at least 12 of
them, to a local theatre, for the Panto, and then back to the works
club, for tea, which invariably turned into a bun fight, my best, only,
suit, got covered in cream.
My parents, and the parents of a girl who lived close by, about half a
mile away, she was not one of the cricketers, decided to leave, and go
to this girls house for a quiet drink, we got sent upstairs out of the
way. She was a very good ballet dancer, not long after this she went to
a Russian ballet school, and had a wardrobe full of tutus.
Big Brother decided that he would like to see what she looked like
wearing one; after all, she had to get changed out of her cream
spattered party dress. She asked why should she. Moreover, what would
we do for her, although she was obviously keen to show us? He said that
I could wear one as well, and much to my embarrassment, recounted the
story of the school dress. She agreed, but I had to change first, she
was bigger than I was, but she had an old tutu that should fit. O.K. I
didn't argue too much, this was better than anything I had dreamed of,
well maybe not as good as being made to be a bridesmaid, but it was up
there.
It wasn't too long before I was resplendent in a pale pink tutu with
white skirts,skirts; the skirts were sticking out sideways, a pair of
her white knickers, pale pink tights, and a pair of white satin ballet
shoes. She showed me how to fasten the ribbons, I was ecstatic, and
didn't notice that big Brother, had hidden my clothes by this time.
She went off to get changed into her all white tutu, she was a little
bit quicker than I had been, and on her return tried to show me how to
do some of the moves, which was fun, despite big brothers sniggering,
and "encouragement". She could get on Pointe, I had no chance, but I
managed to learn how to curtsy properly. I was just in a full curtsy,
arms out and bent from the waist down to my leading leg, when my Dad
opened the door, and came into the room, he had come to tell us we had
to go home.
Desperately I tried to hide, and went to grab my clothes, from where I
had left them, but big Brother had hidden them, and even if I had been
able to get to them, it was to late, I'd been seen. He made us go down
stairs to show the other adults what we had been up to, and insisted
that I showed how I could curtsy to each one of the adults,
individually, as they were spread around the room. I didn't argue; I
was scared witless, at what he might do, if I refused. They sent us
upstairs while they decided what to do about it, big Brother had been
sent to retrieve my clothes from upstairs, and they quizzed him as to
the circumstances in which we had got changed. Satisfied that we hadn't
got changed in front of each other, we were called downstairs, and both
made to curtsy to each of the adults again, I didn't think that I could
get more embarrassed.
Then the bombshell dropped, they had decided that there wasn't enough
time to allow me to get changed, we had to go home straight away, so I
was told to take off the ballet slippers, and put my shoes on, to walk
home. I stamped my foot, and said I wouldn't, to which my Dad replied
just because I was dressed like a girl; it didn't mean I should act like
one. Just to rub my nose in it further, he pretended that he thought I
was refusing to take the ballet slippers off, rather than refusing to
walk home wearing the tutu, and tights, and said that they weren't
really the right thing to wear on a slippy footpath.
Big Brother, had my clothes in a carrier bag, and said he was going to
start walking home. I couldn't believe that they were going to make me
walk home dressed like this, but they obviously thought that the
embarrassment would stop me dressing up again.
Reluctantly I unwound the ribbons, and took the slippers off; it was
obvious that the only things, of my own, that they would let me wear
were my shoes. You'll need this said our neighbours mother, and held
out a girls gabardine Mac, most Mac's for people of my age fastened
either way, and were black, this one was light blue, and only fastened
on the girls side.
I put my arms through the sleeves, thinking that at least it would cover
up most of what I was wearing, only the bottom part of my legs, encased
in the white tights should show, but the buttons, on the wrong side,
only came down to the waist. The belt was level with the bottom button,
and the tutu pushed the bottom part of the Mac up, all around, and at
the front, it was open, and the skirts could be seen clearly. The wind
blowing up the bottom of the Mac made it worse, even more of the skirt
could be seen. This happened all the way, from the time that I stepped
outside, until we got home. The fear of being seen, on one side, and
the thrill and hope of being seen, and thought to be a girl on the other
side, gave me vulture-sized butterflies. I was really surprised at how
warm the tights were, compared to trousers, and had a warm, and excited,
feeling inside, as my ballet skirt rustled, against the Mac, adding to
the sensual feeling of the clothes.
I really didn't want to get undressed when I got home, I loved wearing
the tutu, and ran up to my bedroom, kicked off my shoes, and dived into
bed, partly in the hope that in some magical way I would wake up as a
real girl in the morning, if only I could wear the clothes all night.
These things never work out the way you want, and I was made to undress,
and put on my pyjamas, my lovely clothes were taken away.
I did see them again, the next day I was told to take them back, so I
had to carry them, in broad sight, they wouldn't let me have a bag,
round to her house. The whole time that I was walking, I was scared
that I would bump into someone I knew. Secretly I hoped that if I did
they would make me get dressed up, I was also hoping that our friends
parents would be out, and she would be in, so that I could get dressed
up, and we could have another ballet session, or they would tell me to
keep them as she had outgrown them. Unfortunately, all I got was the
embarrassment of walking along with such feminine garments in my hands.
I did get to wear a dress for a couple of minutes, when my mother made
me put one of her homemade dresses on so that she could do the hem. It
didn't strike me that she couldn't possibly get it right by doing it on
me. I think that wondered if she really wanted a daughter when I came
along. She used to paint our nails as well when we were young.
My brother was responsible for the next time as well, we had gone to a
friend's house, and she had a paddling pool in the back garden, again
there were no adults about. I had rolled up the legs of my jeans, and
taken my shoes and socks off, to have a paddle; she was wearing a
bikini, and asked if I wanted to borrow one. She was about the same
size as me, I said no, but of course big Brother just had to tell her
what had happened previously, I still said no, well you have to don't
you, hoping that she would continue to try to talk me into it, yeh
right, as if she could fail. Big Brother wasn't going to wait, he
simply picked me up, and dropped me into the pool, and I was soaked.
I had no choice but to hang my clothes out to dry, tumble dryers weren't
about in those days, I was to far from home to be able to walk there,
soaking wet, and as ever, he had the key. She offered to get me a
cossie, so that I could, hang my clothes up, naturally I expected a pair
of bikini bottoms, so I undressed in the shed, so that the house didn't
get wet, and big Brother kindly hung them on the line, at the furthest
point from where I was. She reappeared with the cossie, it wasn't
bikini bottoms, but a full one-piece costume, red with white piping
around the arms, and neck, and a little white pleated skirt that would
hang from the hips, a real little girls costume.
I didn't have any choice did I, my soaking wet clothes were at the other
end of the garden, and I was naked. The cossie was on, and I was out to
play. The wet skirt around my legs, and the wet body felt strange at
first, but I soon got used to it. I didn't pay any attention to the
time or whether, or not, my clothes were dry, I was enjoying myself, and
I was able to be a girl again. Inevitably, her mother came home, and
big Brother lied through his back teeth again, saying that I had
tripped, and had to put my clothes on the line to dry. When she asked
why I hadn't been offered some of the girl's clothes, to wear, the
answer was simple, a cossie was better to play in the paddling pool.
She seemed satisfied, with the explanation, although she did mention
that I had got sunburnt, and it would show what I had been wearing, and
went back into the house. I felt good that I had a girl's suntan, and
my imagination went into overdrive, maybe she would offer me a dress or
a skirt to wear, but it wasn't to be.
We had to go home, and she said that I could leave my clothes there to
dry. I got a pair of navy blue knickers and a girls white T-shirt, that
had a bigger neckline than boys do, and shorter sleeves, that pull in at
the hem, so that they puff out. I didn't get a skirt, I got a pair of
girl's jeans, they fastened up on the opposite side, but it just wasn't
the same. I was really disappointed, I don't know if anyone noticed.
She let us stay for tea, in the hope that my clothes might dry out, but
it started to rain, so she said that I could pick them up anytime. She
then went on to ask if we were going to the children's exhibition in
Birmingham, at the old Bingely Hall, because the girl had no one to go
with, and would have to go on the bus. We asked how much it would cost,
it is free said the girl, only if you are a girl, and wearing school
uniform said her mum, it will be so much on the bus, and so much to get
in for each of you. I forget how much, but it wasn't a lot, apparently,
the chance of getting some money sent the cogs in brother's head into
gear.
She rang our parents, explaining what had happened, and asked if we
could go, giving them the details, we had to be dropped off at her house
the next morning, and then she would come home at 10.00 to take us to
the bus stop on the other side of the town. My mother said she would
wash the clothes I was wearing before sending them back.
08.00 The next morning we arrived at her house, she was wearing her
school summer dress, a pink gingum pattern, although it wasn't as girlie
as the other one I had worn, and fastened up the front. Big Brother,
had already told the girl about his idea, suggested a game of cards,
strip jack naked, with a twist, of course, the losers had to pay a
forfeit. I don't know how he managed it, but I only won when the girl
lost, so I was collecting her clothes in a pile, and he said that you
couldn't use the clothes that you had won to pay up if you lost.
Eventually two of us were nearly naked, I only had my pants, and she
only had her knickers on, he was almost fully dressed, she had won the
clothes that he had lost. The rule for this is that if I win you both
lose, and have to swap knickers and put on the clothes that you have
won. O.K. she said, and what if you lose, you both get your clothes
back, needless to say he won, we both stripped off, it wasn't as bad for
me, she had seen me naked the day before. She grabbed my clothes and
ran out to her bedroom.
I got dressed up in her school uniform. The white petticoat was quite
plain, but I did get a pair of navy blue knickers, a pair of knee high
white girl's socks, and a navy blue cardigan. We took the same size of
shoes, so I had a pair of girls' school shoes, which had slightly higher
heels than I was used to. The opening for the foot was bigger, the
tongue didn't come up the instep as far, the laces were lower on the
foot than with boys' shoes, and also the back around the heel was lower
than on boys' shoes.
She seemed to take an age to come down, and I noticed that the time was
getting very close to 10.00. The girl came down the stairs just as her
mother came through the door, how were we going to get out of this, she
would be wearing my clothes. The door opened, and in she walked,
dressed in an identical fashion to me, but wearing a blue version of the
dress I was wearing, apparently, they had a choice, followed by her
mother, he's paying a forfeit she told her mother.
Well if you want to mess about when you know there isn't time to, you
will have to pay the price, come on get into the car, we don't have any
time to spare, and I'm not losing time at work for nothing. As I got
near the door, she stopped me, now my hair was due to be cut before we
went back to school the following week, it was short for a girl, but
long for a boy, somehow she managed to put it into pigtails either side
of my head, and then tied ribbons in bows on to them. She gave me a
purse, one with a long strap that schoolgirl's have to put my spending
money in; the girl had taken it out of my pocket. The dress didn't have
any pockets. If you want to be a girl you might as well look like one I
was told, how did she know, I blushed, I could feel my face tingling.
She took us to the bus stop, and left us there. We just about caught
the bus, it was pretty much packed, but there was a boy, sitting on a
double seat on his own, an adult made him stand up, it would be rude not
to give his seat up for us. "See being a girl isn't bad is it"?? the
girl said, I didn't reply.
When we got into the exhibition, big brother said he was going off to
the boys section, taking my entrance money with him, and we could meet
up for something to eat later, he didn't want to hang around with two
girls. We actually had some fun, going round the girls section, and had
a good giggle about the sad boys standing by the fun house watching
girl's skirts blow up, we decided to go round, again the idea of them
ogling up a boys skirt tickled us. We went round 4 times before the
boys were moved on. Brother caught up with us, he had got bored on his
own, so we made sure that we stopped and looked at every store to do
with girls, by this time I was thinking how stupid boys were, they
missed out on things that girls can do, I was happy, I was a girl.
We had something to eat, and then went on to the fair, don't forget to
scream I was told, this was great, I just screamed when she did, it was
more fun than trying to look as if you weren't scared.
We caught the bus home, and when we reached our stop the girl's mother
was there, to take us home, she had my clothes in a bag, and was going
to collect the ones that I had gone home in the day before, and was
wearing at the time. She was going to take me home, and it was still
daylight, "Oh No". It wasn't that bad, big Brother got the smack for
keeping my entrance money, but I had to get changed straight away, and
my clothes were taken away by the girl's mother, who said she had some
washing to do anyway. I was disappointed; I thought I might get another
chance to wear them.
Two days later I cut my foot open in a public paddling pool, some git
had thrown bottles into it, we hadn't noticed through the murky water,
and I was whipped off to hospital. The nurses were really nice to me,
and I was entranced by their uniforms. They were the nice old style
ones, in different colours, with a cotton pinafore, seemingly held up by
their badges, and fob watches, a thick belt with large silver buckle
around the waist, and white puffed out cuffs on the sleeves, with a
frilly cap on their heads, and black seamed stockings. I knew what I
wanted to be when I grew up, and what I wanted for Christmas. I asked
for a nurses set, there were some nice ones with a dress in them, but I
got a doctors set instead, and it only had a red cross thing to put on
your arm, a girl I knew wanted to be a doctor, but got a nurses set, if
only I had the nerve to swap.
That was the last time that My Brother did anything like that to me, and
like so many other boys in my position, I had to make to with
"borrowing" my mothers things. If only I had a sister, or better still
been a sister. In fact my mother managed to really upset me, one day
when we had a row, by telling me that I was a mistake, in the first
place, and I wasn't even a girl to make up for it. She didn't try to
hide her disappointment at not having had a girl after that. I don't
know how much that reinforced my wish to be a girl, just so that I could
please her.
I went to senior school that year, when I got the letter to say I had
passed it was addressed to Miss, instead of Master, and the clothes it
said to buy were those for a girl, as it happened I didn't get a girls
uniform. When we got into the classroom on the first day, I was
allocated a desk with the "other girls", there were 21 girls, and 9
boys, the other boys were sat with each other, I was sat in the middle
of a sea of navy blue skirts, and cardigans, wearing my maroon blazer.
Oh how I would have liked to be wearing white knee high socks, a navy
blue pleated skirt, and navy blue cardigan, like the girls, rather than
my long grey trousers, and maroon blazer.
Bag of rags Part 2: The school days.
We moved away, to the west country, and I started a new school, I had
tried to alter an old dress my mother had thrown away, so that it would
fit better, but she had found it, and thrown it away, but never said
anything, I guess they knew that I wasn't going to grow out of it.
I was being bullied when I first went there, Black Country accent you
see, until I laid a lad out with a lucky punch, and proved my worth as a
cross-country runner, and on the rugby field. I was banned for life
from the school rugby team at my previous school, after being sent off
for a punch up in the middle of a scrum. I wanted to be treated as well
as the girl who had joined the school, at the same time; she just seemed
to slot in with the other girls, yet another reinforcer in my wish to be
a girl.
It wasn't long before I moved school again, this time northbound. Big
brother left home, and stayed in the West Country, and I discovered that
I was going to be in a school packed with suede heads, the follow on
from skinheads. I knew I was going to be thought of as different,
although there was more of a thing between the people born in the town,
and those shipped in from the big city, in slum clearance. I found that
I could get on with both sides. I let my hair grow, it was longer than
many of the girls at the school, but I was able to get away with it, and
confused people because I had a Lambretta scooter, and with long hair,
they thought I should have a motorbike.
I was lucky, one day; we had extra training on a Sunday for a Lands End
to John O Groates charity run, run for charity which had been planed. I
hadn't been there long, but they soon added me to the squad. The day
before training, the girls had commandeered our changing room, because
of a big sports day, and someone had left a school skirt behind. I
didn't have a chance of picking it up then, but made sure that I was in
school early the next day, and was able to pick it up, stick it in my
bag, and get it home.
It was navy blue, pleated all the way round, and had small pockets on
either side, let into the pleats. Better yet, it fitted, and fell just
above the knee. I was in heaven, and soon I was wearing underwear, Bra,
knickers, waist slip, and barely black tights, belonging to my mother,
My shirt, tie, and blazer, and my newly acquired skirt, with my hair
combed and parted down the middle, and a spot of lipstick I looked
brilliant, every inch a sixteen year old schoolgirl. The only problem
was that I couldn't go out looking like that, at least not in the
daytime. I had a tent which I put up in the garden, and spent the night
in it, I made sure that I had my skirt, and women's underwear, and was
able to get changed, and went for a walk down the road.
The dream came to a sad end, when I had dressed one day, and my parents
came home unexpectedly, they saw me as I ran up the stairs, and I dived
into bed pretending to be asleep, when I heard the footsteps coming up
the stairs. The covers were thrown back, and there I was, a son dressed
like a daughter. They made me go downstairs to explain what was going
on.
I tried to explain, but couldn't stop crying, this was a Friday night,
and usually I would be going out, but I was grounded, and they said that
I would have to do my weekend homework sitting downstairs where they
could see me, and I couldn't get changed until I had finished it.
All right it was embarrassing, but enjoyable, in my mind I was a
schoolgirl, doing her homework, I had to finish it all before I would be
allowed to get changed, yes I took my time, and it ran over into the
next day, when it seemed to dawn on them that I was happy about it. I
was hoping that they might have made me dress like that to do my
homework, for a week, a month, or better still always, it wasn't to be.
Rotten so and so's took the skirt off me, and searched my room for
anything else, so I was back to square one, no clothes that I would like
to wear.
Strangely enough I got one of my best ever marks for that work, which I
proudly showed off, but they didn't take the hint, that it would be
better if I always dressed like a girl to do my homework.
Relief came not too long after. I was sat in the sixth form common
room, with some friends, Friday at lunchtime, and they were showing
photo's round of two of the lads dressed as girls at a school summer
fete, just before I had come to the school. I extracted the urine a
bit, to which I got the inevitable longhaired yak, and one of them
passed a comment that with my hair I always looked like a girl anyway,
if only.
Laughing it off I went to a lesson I had two periods that day, with a
gap in between. They started to plot.
I returned to the common room, after the first period. I was about to
moan about old so and so the teacher, I couldn't stand him, when I was
grabbed, and dragged into a storeroom. The common room was made up of
three old prefabricated classrooms, I was debagged, everything off down
to my underpants, and they went off with my clothes, and shoes.
Not long afterwards they came back, with a girl, about the same size as
me, I didn't really start to grow until I was 18, I hit puberty later
than most, my voice hadn't broke, and was more like a low end girls,
than a high pitched boys. Most of the girls, even without higher heeled
shoes were taller than me. She was wearing my clothes, and came into
the storeroom to help me get dressed, practical jokes were the norm, so
I just laughed and told them not to be daft, besides I had Maths last
period, with old misery guts, so they had to give me my clothes back.
They said they would, but only after, I had dressed as a girl.
Reluctantly, only on the outside, I couldn't admit that I wanted to,
could I? Inside I was thrilled, I allowed her to put her bra on me, and
stuff some tissue in to make a pair of small tits. She didn't want me
to snag her tights, so she rolled them up, and guided them up my legs,
now that really was great, I stepped into her shoes, which were slip
on's, and had a thick 2 inch heel. Next was the white cotton blouse, it
had long sleeves, but fitted my arms well, the collar was rounded, and
there was no top button, so the neckline made a V. I stepped into the
waist slip, a white satiny thing with a nice 1 inch band of lace round
the bottom, but was a good six inches above the knee, and was a tight
fit, all the way down. She pulled my blouse out, so that it was above
the waistband of the slip, and then I stepped into her skirt. It was
maroon, short, and straight, with no pleats or vents. I had suggested
the maroon, because they wanted a different colour for sixth formers,
and the girls had liked the idea. I had to tuck my slip down, and
wiggle the waist band over my hips, she fastened it up at the back, and
I had to lift up my skirt to get the slip in place correctly, to many
wolf whistles. My skirt only just covered my slip, I hadn't worn
anything this short and revealing before, I pulled on the matching
maroon cardigan, and it was job complete. We opened the door, and
walked out.
I thought that would be it, but no I had to be made up, not to much we
were at school, pale pink lipstick, a little pale blue eye shadow and
black mascara; my hair was girlied up, plaits on each side of my head.
Again, when we finished, I thought that would be it, but they decided it
was time for a cake, and coffee, at the shop over the road. I said no I
wasn't going, but with a lad on each arm, and one behind me, I got
dragged into motion, well it's not easy to dig your heels in, with those
sort of shoes. It surprised me that no one mentioned how easily I was
able to walk in them. I let them take me across the road, and went and
sat down, with the other girls; after all, I didn't have any money with
me. The girl who had my clothes wasn't there, I asked why she hadn't
come, and was told that she was going home because she didn't have any
more lessons that day. I thought they were joking.
It was getting close to my lesson time, so I said that I had to go, they
all decided to come with me, obviously they thought that the moment when
I realised they weren't joking, was going to be too good to miss.
We got back to the common rooms, the first thing I noticed, was my parka
was missing from the coat hangers. The second was my Maths teacher, who
had dropped in to make sure I wasn't skiving, and had been told that I
would be back before the start of the lesson. I explained what had
happened, and that my clothes were heading six miles up the road to a
village., tough he said, you still have to come to the lesson, or your
parents will get a letter. I went with him to the classroom, to much
laughter when we arrived. The initial embarrassment soon subsided. I
loved the chance to be a girl too much to be overly bothered by it.
Now in those days, teachers always called boys by their surname, we even
used them with each other, but the girls were always called by their
first names. He just had to join in, and call me by my first name, and
even pointed out that it wasn't a very good name for a girl, so he used
my middle name, which could be used by girls, and boys, it is just spelt
differently. I probably was asked more questions in that one period,
than I would have expected in a month.
At the end of the lesson, he made me stay behind; he actually
congratulated me on my good sense of humour, and pointed out that my
slip was showing. He was concerned at how I was going to get my clothes
back, as he thought going on the bus could be dangerous, and offered to
drive me there. My opinion of him changed, I thanked him, but I said I
had my scooter to go on. He came back to the common room, because he
thought that I might not have the keys, if she had left them in my
pockets. I found them, in her afghan coat pocket, which obviously had
been left for me to wear. I put it on, covering up a bit more of my
legs than the skirt had done.
Riding a scooter wearing trousers, is very different to riding wearing a
short tight skirt, I had to stand on tiptoe, despite the high heels, to
try and get my foot on the pedal to kick start my bike, because the
skirt was too tight. I couldn't do it properly, so one of the lads who
had been involved, and who was coming with me, because his girlfriend,
also involved, lived next door to the girl whose clothes I was wearing,
came over muttering about bloody girls being useless at this sort of
thing, and did it for me. Wearing a tight skirt meant that I could only
put a foot down on one side, and had to slide my bum to that side every
time I had to stop. I don't know what scared me most, someone
recognising my bike and helmet, or coming off, and going to hospital.
We got there safely, and I managed to slide off the seat, and get it on
its stand, without dropping it, and went into the house. She had
changed into her own clothes by the time we got there, and opened the
door to let us in. I was expecting to have to go and change as soon as
we went in, but was initially pleased as she shooed us into the front
room of her house. Her mother was home, sitting in the room, her
parents were divorced, and she was an only child. I froze, my fight or
flight reaction, had overloaded, I was comfortable wearing the clothes,
I wanted to keep on wearing them, and hoped that everyone thought that I
was a girl, but this was a big shock.
Take your coats off, and hang them up, then you, she said pointing at
me, come in sit down, and tell me your side of the story, why my
daughter turned up for an appointment, dressed like a boy. I was still
frozen to the spot, considering running for it, but there was nowhere to
go.
Her mother came over and took my helmet, out of my hand, unbuttoned my
coat, then took it off and hung it up; I was still frozen to the spot.
A tear had rolled down my face, she got a tissue, and dabbed it, saying
I was making my mascara run, then took my hand and made me sit down.
Cross your legs dear, you don't want people looking up your skirt; that
is the trouble with wearing a short skirt. I just did as I was told.
Look I'm not angry with you, I was upset at first, but you have
obviously been in a worse state, she told her daughter to get us tea and
biscuits, the lad, who had come with me, started to tell her the story,
and his girlfriend arrived while he was telling it, and backed up
everything he had said.
She was really nice about it, and even rang up my parents to say that I
was staying for tea, and would be back later, or if we went out the next
day. The cup of tea, and her attitude, calmed me down, and I was able
to talk, she asked me how I had felt, when I was laughed at, and was
treated like a girl. I didn't say anything, but she was sharp, she
noticed my body language, and suggested that I help her get tea ready,
she told the other three to get lost; she knew I wanted to say
something.
They went next door to get some records. She was to the point, and
asked me outright if I wanted to be a girl. Yes, I said, surprising
myself, I had never met this woman before, and yet I was able to admit
my deepest held secret without a thought. I felt better for it, as if a
weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and told her about how it
started, and my brother, she had a big brother, and agreed that they
were horrible. We made a pact that she wouldn't make me get changed
until later, when I told her how I always felt bad when changing back to
my horrible boy's clothes.
The other three had arrived back with the records, and gone upstairs to
play them. We took the sandwiches we had been making, and a fresh pot
of tea into the front room. Teas ready Girls, she yelled up to them,
emphasising the Girls. I had my plateful, and drink, and was sat down,
with the plate on my lap, knees firmly together, as I had been told to.
The girls came down, and the lad hung about by the door, yes I'm
including you, I aught to insist on you wearing a skirt, then you would
fit in with the rest of us, all girls together, but I'll let you off for
the moment. He visibly paled, I think he thought that she was going to
get him to get dressed up, and made an excuse to leave. Something like
going out with his parents. She asked him if he would be a dear, and
push my bike into the garage, which he agreed to do.
Right then girls, who wants to go to the pictures, there is a nice weepy
on, yes they both said. O.K., that includes you, she said looking at
me, you will have to get changed; you can't go in school uniform can
you? I'm sure we can find you something to wear. This was great she
was treating me as if I was a girl. The penny dropped, with the girls,
I only had the girls' uniform that I was wearing, and my boy's uniform,
so I had to get changed into a different set of girls' clothes. She
went upstairs, and came down with a pink dress, and a petticoat, and
clean underwear, a pink matching set of Bra, Pants, and Petticoat, all
had matching lace trims, although it was bigger on the petticoat, at
least three inches thick round the hem, and a pair of white tights. She
told the girls to go and get ready, and went out to the door with them,
leaving me to get ready. I heard some giggling from behind the door.
I started to get undressed, excited that I was going to go out in public
again, and had got to the stage of having my Bra, Pants, Petticoat, and
tights on, with a pair of powder blue sandals, that had a narrow 11/2
inch heel. I practised walking in them, and found that I was able to
walk very easily.
The door opened, and the mother walked in, she had got changed, and was
wearing a smart trouser suit, and very comfortable looking flat shoes,
she came over, and helped me pad the Bra out to a better shape, and
helped me get into the dress, which came to just above the knee, zipping
it up the back. The lace on my petticoat showed up when I moved, she
didn't tell me that until later on.
She gave me a little black short sleeved cardigan, with mother of pearl
buttons, it wasn't made to be fastened, just to cover the shoulders, and
there was a gap between the two sides at the front, it emphasised my
boobs. To finish it off, I had a handbag, which matched the shoes. She
wasn't happy with my plaits, and undid them, brushing my hair out she
quickly put it into a single plait, which she then turned into a bun, on
the top of my head, and put on a blue scrunchy to keep it in place.
Then she topped up my make up.
I was wondering where the girls were while this was going on, Oh the
other girls are in the car, she said, emphasising the other, and added
that we had better use my middle name, when we were out. So all
prepared, she reminded me to pick up my handbag, which had all my money
in a little purse inside it, as well as some extra make up.
Happily I walked out to her car, I didn't care if I was seen, I was sure
that I looked 100% female. The girls were sat in the back seat of the
car waiting for us; she opened the passenger side door for me, and
reminded me about sitting down in a skirt, and how I should get into the
car. I got in shut the door, and did up my seatbelt, she got in, belted
up, and started up the engine, and pulled away.
You look terrific the Girls said. I turned round to return the
compliment, but my mouth dropped open, and I turned back to face the
front. I quickly managed to recover from the shock, they were both
wearing jeans, with floppy Indian cotton tops, and as I found out later
flat shoes, and socks, I, the only male, was the only one wearing high
heels, and not wearing trousers.
The birthday girl has to have the prettiest dress they explained, it's
not my birthday I said, you weren't a girl yesterday, you are today they
said, no I'm not I said, you are as long as you're dressed like that
said the mother.
We watched the movie, it was sad, and with not having to stick to the
boys don't cry thing, I was as bad as the other three, with my mascara
running down my face; I couldn't have hidden it anyway. We cleaned each
other up, licking tissues and wiping the mascara away, then walked back
to the car, and went back to their home. I had to get changed out my
lovely clothes, and the girl from next door went home.
I borrowed a nightie for the night. After cleaning off my make up, I
left my hair in place, and had a cup of hot chocolate before going to
bed. I heard my friend go to her room, and then her mother came in to
see if I was all right, yes, thank you, I said. Not too upset, at the
thought of being a boy again? She asked. Yes, I said, but I'm stuck
with it, aren't I? She never mentioned it when I went round to her
house after that time, which always left me sad, as I would have loved
to talk to her about it, and hoped she would ask me to dress up again, I
couldn't seem to get the conversation around to it.
My next interlude in a dress was on stage, well I also dressed up before
that time, to get the dress right. Three of us used to take the Mickey
out of the Supremes Baby love, and it got to be known throughout the
school that we were good at it. The year below us were putting on a
spoof of Cinderella, and they asked us to be the ""act"" at the ball,
Diana Flop, and the Pukecreams, no less.
We had a rummage through the old stage props, and came up with three
dresses; Diana flop was a big built hairy chested rugby prop type. The
only Girl was short, and chubby, and I wasn't very big, but had the best
figure. The lad playing Diana, had a very heavy strapless black
sequined dress, that had a full circular skirt, and loads of pink lace
underskirts, to fluff it out, his hairy chest stood out. I wouldn't
have minded wearing it, but it was too big for me.
We had found two hideous long cotton dresses that were Banana yellow,
with brown spots sewn over them that we could wear, god knows what they
had been used for, but they did need a bit of altering. We did this at
the girl's house, so I had to get changed, if only for a short time.
Her mother found us, and stepped in to do the work, so I didn't really
get much chance to enjoy it. We didn't get a chance to see what she had
done, until the day of the Panto.
Now I was a bit stuck, as I was the only person in school at the time
who knew how the stage lights worked, the teacher who used to do it had
moved on, and the only other lad that knew had gone to University, the
switches and sliders weren't marked so I had that job as well. My dress
had been turned into a mermaid dress, typical Supremes, tight fitting
all the way down, then flared out with net, she had sewn a large set of
falsies into the bodice, at least a D cup, shame I didn't get to wear
any girls underwear. She had made the other one straight but with a
split down the side.
I was made up, and my hair backcombed, and then I was transformed into a
buxom woman. I had a pair of tights, but no other female underwear, and
a pair of silver coated women's' sandals, with a three inch stiletto
heel.
I'm going to say this only once, "Don't try this at home", no I mean it.
To do the lights, I had to climb up a steep ladder, which meant that I
would have to go up and down at least 3 times, wearing an almost skin
tight skirt, and a pair of silver coated sandals, with a three inch
stiletto heel.
I discovered the only way was to jump up each step, with my feet
together, because I couldn't get my leg up on its own, and the dress was
to tight to pull up, so I went up, and did the lights up until just
before we were due on.
I bounced down, having set the lights how we wanted them, and we did the
act, to the biggest applause of the night. I tottered off, well you try
walking with high heels and a skirt that is only just wider than your
legs, and made it up to the lights again. We got to the end of the
show, and I bounced down to take the last bow, we wound up doing a
reprise before the end of the show, and as the curtains closed I had to
go up to turn the lights off, and restore the main lights in the hall to
their usual switches, by the exit door.
I was getting tired by this time, and was ready to go home, even though
I would have to get changed out of my dress. I bounced down, but missed
a step, I couldn't see them because of my dress, I couldn't hold on, and
landed at an angle, the shoe, on my left foot went underneath me at an
angle, and I felt a searing pain, I had broken my ankle.
An ambulance was called, I kept saying that I had to get changed, but my
clothes were in a classroom on the lower floor, and they didn't want to
move me, so someone was sent to get them. The ambulance was there very
quickly, before they got back with my clothes, and had me on a stretcher
to go to the ambulance; my clothes were thrown into a bag for them to
take. One of the girls, who had a car, followed us there.
So there I was, all done up, and wearing a dress stuck in casualty. It
was quite a time before I got taken into the cubicle to be seen, and a
very kind nurse helped me out of my female clothes, and into my own,
except my shoes which weren't with them. I got seen, carted off to X
ray, and eventually my leg was plastered up to my knee. I was given a
set of crutches, and shown how to walk with them. I had to wear one of
the women's' glittery sandals on my good foot just, to make it more
difficult, because they were the only shoes I had. The nurse giggled as
she told me to be careful that I didn't fall off that shoe. I made my
way out to the car, I must have been a peculiar sight, back combed long
hair, make up, one silver sandal, and boys clothes.
It wasn't long before I had another chance to go out in public. I met
up with a girl that had been at school with me, and she invited me to
her house the next Saturday. Her parents were going out, and wouldn't
be due back until the next day.
I had several girl friends, as opposed to girlfriends; I always seemed
to enjoy their company far more than I always seemed to enjoy their
company far more than lads'. Her parents gone, she managed to get me to
tell her about being dressed up at school, she had missed it, we hadn't
told anyone about what happened later. She expressed dismay at not
having seen what I looked like, and wanted me to dress up for her, well
the television was boring, so what the heck, did I ever, but you have to
pretend don't you.
We went up to her bedroom, and before long I was wearing a blue bra,
with matching silky knickers, over a pair of very tight knickers that
were holding my tackle between my legs, a knee length petticoat, with
lots of lace at the hem, and a green summer dress, with short sleeves,
and two kick pleats front and back. To finish it off, I had a pair of
white tights, and a pair of her black patent leather court shoes, with
2-inch stiletto heels, and a white cardigan. We went down stairs, and
she combed my hair, and parted it down the centre, holding the sides
back with hair clips, that had little flowers on them. She made me sit
down, and applied some make up to my face; she then filed my nails, to
tidy them up, and applied some red nail varnish to them.
I was sat with my hands held out, and fingers apart, waiting for the
varnish to dry, when there was a knock at the door. She went to answer
it, the curtains were open, and so we couldn't pretend we weren't there.
It turned out to be a boy who fancied her, and his friend, who was
visiting him from London, they invited themselves in despite her trying
to stop them, they were going to the pub, and had come to see if she
wanted to go as they thought she was going to be on her own. They said
that it was even better as there were two of us girls to go with them.
She tried hard to refuse, but they just took hold of her hands and
pulled her out of the door, and outside the house closing the door
behind them. They were both strapping six footers, then they came and
did the same to me, I couldn't fight it, and I didn't want another
broken ankle, which was my excuse to myself. We were outside, and he
had picked up the door key from the key hanger it had been left on, in
the hallway. I was frightened to death, what would happen if they found
out, but we had no choice, we had to go. We were assisted into the back
seat, and they took us to the pub. At least we didn't have to go to the
bar, they found us a table to sit at, while they played at being
gentlemen and fetched the drinks, they had pints of lager, and we got
half's of lager and lime.
After the first drink, we were given vodka, and orange. I have to
admit, being on the opposite side of the fence was quite enjoyable, and
cheap, but I lost count of how much we had to drink. They might even
have been doubles. It started to get cold, and we didn't have coats, so
it was decided that we should go home, somehow or another, she wound up
in the front seat, and I was in the back with the friend from London.
I fell asleep very quickly, as I always do when I'm not driving, and
woke up to find we were parked down an unlit country lane, they were
snogging in the front, and I was lying snuggled up to the friend, with
his arm around my shoulders. I went to sit up, but he noticed I was
awake, and turned slightly to put his other hand on the inside of my
thigh, about half way up, I tried to grab his hand, and to tell him that
I wasn't that sort of girl, but his mouth hit mine just as I opened it.
It seemed to last a lifetime, I had removed his hand from my leg, and
when he finally came up for air, I was able to pull back enough to just
shake my head, and say no, it wasn't unpleasant, if you shut your eyes
it could be anyone, well that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it. If
we had been on our own I might not have complained, as long as his hand
stayed at the level it had been poised at, it was actually quite nice to
feel it through my tights, but I didn't feel like snogging a boy when
the girl in the front knew the truth.
He reacted to my refusal very well; I think he was regrouping for
another assault. It was getting cold, and I moved back closer to him,
for mutual warmth. He put his arm around me, so my shoulder was under
his armpit, and his arm down my back. I was facing him sideways on,
with my head resting on his chest, I put my arm around his waist, and he
placed his other hand on the outside of my thigh, on the highest leg,
again it felt nice through my tights. I was feeling comfortable, and
safe in this situation, and dozed off again.
The next thing I knew we had got back to the girls house, and had to get
out of the car, It's a good thing that I have never had a problem
walking in high heels, because I wouldn't have managed to get back
safely to the door otherwise. The boys drove off, and she said they had
taken the key with them, I got upset, and she apologised for having
joked abut it; she did have the key.
We went inside, and sat down; she wanted to know what happened in the
back seat, we swapped notes. She said that I would have to go and wash
my makeup off, and get changed, so that I would be ready to go before
her parents arrived back, or at least look like a boy if they arrived
home earlier than expected. I reluctantly went upstairs, but didn't
take my clothes off, until I had washed, I wanted to keep them on as
long as possible.
We went to bed, she was upstairs, and I slept on the couch, where we
were when her parents arrived home. We had to admit having gone out, we
both had hangovers, but other than saying it was with two friends we
didn't say anything more.
Thankfully when her friend went round and they were in, he mentioned the
night, and that we had gone out with him, and his friend, made his
friends night apparently, she was holding her breath, but fortunately he
didn't refer to the girls, or any other hint that they had picked up 2
girls from the house.
I had another chance to get changed at another party, at one of the
lad's houses, there was another girl, about my size, see being late to
develop and grow isn't all drawbacks, and she was looking very
uncomfortable. I asked her what the problem was, and she said she was
feeling overdressed, most of the girls were wearing jeans, and tops, but
she was wearing a knee length white dress, that came down to just above
her knees, and buttoned up the front, leaving a small gap from the
bottom button to the hem. It was see through, as it was made out of a
lacy cotton material, so her pink petticoat showed through, and the lace
around the bottom showed when she moved. The pink showed up even more
because she was wearing white tights.
She said that she wished she had worn jeans instead. I said I thought
she looked great, and that I really liked her dress. We were overheard,
and some one told her to be careful or I would be asking to borrow it.
She jumped at this and wanted to swap, of course the general opinion was
that we should, for a laugh. So of course I reluctantly gave in, I was
worried that too many protestations would ruin my chance. We went
upstairs, and stripped off, she got my clothes, and I got hers, it
turned out that her knickers and bra were part of the same set, as her
petticoat. Once I was dressed, she combed my hair for me, and applied
the make up; fortunately, we had the same size shoes, so I got to wear a
pair of pink high-heeled sandals
She took her earrings off, they were the sort that have a screw on
fitting, and put them on my ears, they were quite heavy, and banged
against my neck every time I moved my head. Then she took off her
necklace, and fastened it around my neck, as she fastened it she gave me
a kiss, the feeling of our lipstick meeting was terrific. To finish off
the look she emptied her handbag, which matched the sandals, and emptied
my pockets, placing her stuff in the pockets of my jeans, and my stuff
into her handbag, you haven't got any pockets, in that dress, she
explained, as she handed me the bag. I put the strap over my shoulder,
and we went downstairs. Neither of us had the inclination or attempted
to swap back, and we spent the rest of the party wearing each other's
clothes. I danced far more than I ever did as a boy. There were slow
dances, but I danced with another girl, I turned the lad down who
suggested it. There were too many people about to risk dancing with a
boy, so I didn't have a chance to try that out.
It turned out that that the lad who had put the party on, hadn't got
permission, from his parents, and when they came home they threw us all
out, once again I was outside, wearing a dress, but fortunately this
time I knew my parents wouldn't be in. We walked home, about a mile,
along with some of our friends; she kept asking me if I was all right
walking in her shoes. There was no way that I was going to give up
wearing anything feminine, so I said yes, even though my feet and legs
really ached. We had " "lost"" the others on the way home, and when we
reached the door, I had to rummage in the handbag, for the key. It
struck me as being a very feminine thing to do.
She phoned her parents, and told them she was staying at her friend's
house; the friend lived just round the corner from me. Are you, I
asked,, no she said, they would be in bed, and get annoyed if she woke
them up, she intended to stay with me. I was overjoyed, we went into
the front room, and I sat down and took the shoes off. I was sat on the
settee, legs pulled up, with my hand on my nylon covered leg, and she
came over to sit beside me. I said I suppose we had better get
undressed, but she said no, and produced her lipstick again, to top both
of us up.
Then she put her hand up my skirt, and started to stroke the inner part
of one of my legs, we started to kiss, I think she liked the idea of
snogging with another girl. We wound up lying down, with her on top;
her hands went up my dress, and started to pull my tights and knickers
down. Lift your bum up, she said, and I did, my knickers and tights
were on the floor pretty quickly, followed by her jeans and pants. She
sat herself down on top of me, inserting my Penis into her vagina, and
then eased herself on top of me, closing her legs as she did it, and
made me open mine. She was adopting the male role, and made me be the
woman, well I was properly dressed for the part. I lost my virginity
with my hair all girly and wearing make up, a bra, petticoat, and dress,
being the girl. It wasn't her first time. We eventually went to bed,
she got undressed, I didn't, and there was no way I was going to take
those clothes off until I had to.
We had another session the next morning, and then I had to take her
clothes off, so that she could wear them to go home. She reminded me to
wash what was left of my make up off, and combed my hair out for me. I
was really pissed off when she left the house wearing the clothes. I
was hoping that she would have borrowed some of mine, and left them
behind, for me to wear again.
Bag of Rags 3: the later years
The tick of time moves ever onwards. I left home and got a job, as a
trainee manager, with a large retail outlet, which meant that I had to
move around different stores in the North West. They had a women's
clothing department, and every so often, I had to stay behind to lock up
after the cleaners had left. This was brilliant, I was able to get a
stock of clothes that fit me, a longhaired wig, because I had to have
short hair, and make up as well, and simply rang up my own purchases,
but I could only wear them in the privacy of my own room. I did become
proficient at making myself up though. Eventually, I wound up in
Blackpool, I knew about Lucy's bar, but thought it was just for Gay
people, if I had known then what I know now, I could have tried it out.
As it was I got fed up with continually moving around, something you
have to do to get promoted, I packed the job in, and returned home.
Unfortunately, it meant that I had to dispose of my women's clothes,
because I didn't have a safe place to hide them.
I was out at a disco, one night, and had come up short; I think it might
have something to do with me actually looking at what the girls were
wearing, and wishing that I could wear them, rather than for any other
reason. I got accused of undressing a girl with my eyes, if I was it
was only because I liked what she was wearing, and would have liked to
be wearing it myself. I met up with my girl friend; she had just dumped
her boyfriend, and wanted a shoulder to cry on. The next thing that
happened was that she became my girlfriend, but we didn't mention the
night out.
Time moved on, and we got married, God I was jealous of her wearing a
wedding dress, while I just got a suit, and also all the fuss that was
evident before the wedding day, and getting ready for the day, that I
had missed out on, never a bridesmaid, and never a bride.
When we went to get changed, at her parents house, she had taken her
dress off, after I unzipped it, and I picked it up, and held it in front
of me, what do you think?, I asked, lovely she said, but you're not
going to wear it. I knew that she meant it, it was her special dress,
and it was going to stay that way.
She smiled, and told me to clear off whilst she got dre
