Question of the Week
" I consider myself a TV. Reason for this is...I love to dress and I dress fully and as perfect as I can to be the girl I wish to be. I can be passable and enjoy every minute of this time. Problem is, I do have to live as a male and can not dress all the time. 2 or 3 times a week is all I get the chance for. It hurts me when I can not dress and I long for it every and each day of the week. Although, from all my past experience I have found that every CD I have met usually enjoys the feel of a certain item or 2 of womans clothing and it is more for a sexual reason. In most if not all cases, they can go without this pleasure for any given time and almost never dress completely. "
