Op Shop

Wife and I went for a bit of a scenic drive. Our lunch stop was next door to an Op Shop (I secretly think she planned it this way). Anyway I found some nice tight yoga pants that flare a bit below the knees, a dark red top top and a pink knit cardie and skinny jeans. Wife tells me to go to mens section first before the changing room so it would appear as if I picked something up from there - I'm to lazy and head straight to the change booths. Wife also purchased 2 tops and a skirt - total bill for 7 items, $23.

I'm like -quick, I need to show you these new purchases, umm maybe with an early coffee at McDonalds or at 277 Newmarket shopping center during my lunch.

Skinny jeans

I did wear other stuff this week, but really loving the yoga pants and just want to wear them all the time. 

Sorry I couldn't wear make up on my trip to Bunnings and also the battery shop to get a replacement car battery, as I have a house guest that my wife would be unhappy if I returned with it on. Daughter gifted me the jumper about 18 months ago when she purged.

Yes, people see me (probably think I'm not right in the head), smile and more often than not, we say "hi" 
Like in "Hi, I'm your friendly neigbourhood crossdresser".

Coffee stops

 Where to start, well in the morning, I like coffee


I also like coffee in the afternoon on the way home


Sometimes I go to the mall in Newmarket for coffee ( I also enjoy shopping )



Sometimes I can't be bothered with wig or makeup, especially during these hot summer days

bush walks

I do enjoy getting out for walks in nature. It's been hot and windy, so not really wig type of weather.

I've had to improvise a bit, enjoyed a lovely 4 hour bush walk, said hi to a few people I passed on the track had a dip at a waterfall to cool off. 

Otherwise, I've done a bit of topdressing on my lawn and every couple of morning I go to pick a fresh strawberry that's ripened, to find birds have beaten me to it (2 mornings this week, zero for me - time for bird netting I think)

Rocky Horror theater show and hot humid days

It's a show my friends invited wife and I to, and one of my lady friends was upset I didn't dress up for the show (of the four of us, she was the only one dressed up). In the audience about 20% dressed up for the 2pm show, but the people arriving for the later show, it looked closer to 40% dressed up.

My wife doesn't want the friend group knowing about my hobby and told me Jeans and shirt, which was my preferred anyway.

There's 2 other points

1) I dress when I want, not on command

2) I don't like men in fishnets and corsets (I'm still too square about that sort of stuff)

3) I've worn fishnets more this week, than most of last year (okay, that's 3 points)

I don't mind fishnets if it's still with day clothes like earlier this week....(is that point number 4?)




We are still having hot humid days that I can't be bothered with wig or make up. I'm still having fun, including a random woman approaching me for directions (had to blur my face, looking too much like our Prime Minister - or my grand dad, either way it's scary for me)

Who doesn't like PVC and lycra

 I was up before sunrise and feeling a bit naughty.

I really like the idea of latex fetish dressing, but my budget is PVC and lycra at this stage, so decided to do a PVC photo shoot at the Auckland war memorial gardens. Wife asked if "anyone saw me", I said a few walkers and joggers. She says they probably thought me mad, but you now - I wasn't walking around the park while lifting dumb bells, so I thought some of them also mad 😂






I was wearing lycra underneath, but even if I hadn't, by 9.30am I was sweltering. So time for a change, coffee and head home before visiting my oldest daughter (who complimented me on my perfume, made me very happy). Oh yes, coffee - in a tight lycra one piece...
