Since then, I rarely go hairless. About the only time I borrow the wife's bottle is when she makes me, as in the four times in the last two years she got the hankering to force me to wear what I wear around the house out in public.

Generally speaking, it's little more than a comfortable skirt and a pair of sandals, and almost invariably in the summertime.

She'll start by putting the bottle of Nair next to my shampoo in the shower - often right in front of it. Although I "wonder what's next," I know what's coming. She'll lay out a pair of medium (2-1/2 to 3-1/2 inch) heeled sandals of modest taste, along with one of my more favorite, full-length skirts.

It's up to me to complete the picture.

After nixing the hair, I usually use her Neroli detangler on my hair, followed by a brief stint with her makeup case applying a touch of shadow, liner, etc. Not enough to show - just enough to make a slight difference, one that says "hmmm....???" instead of "it's a guy."

I follow that with one of my favorite shirts from either International Male or Nordstroms (usually a front lace-up), then often a very subdued polish, such as Revlon's 450 (glow light) and topcoat.

After that, she comes in and gives my hair a few twirls, and we're off. The only reason I can pull this off is because of a problem of unknown origen whereby I, for the most part, skipped puberty. About the only looks I get when I go out like this are from the few guys who're more interested in trying to find upper-level curves than brains.

Strangely enough, although I feel perfectly comfortable wearing a skirt and heels at home around family, I'm still very uncomfortable wearing them in public. Doing a touch of cross-dress alleviates my discomfort considerably, even though personally, I more or less disdain the idea of trying to "pass."

I'm male, and like it, and would much rather society change to allow people to dress in whatever clothes and shoes they so desire.

But hey - that's just me...
