transgenderism into
a loving, caring and
positive relationship."
Vanessa enjoys going out "en femme" and does so as often as possible. She and Linda go out to dinner, group meetings, parties, plays, and she has even gone out to the casinos in Las Vegas, and the two "girls" took a week's vacation to Tunica, Mississippi.Check out Linda's article, A Vacation At The Casinos!
Vanessa feels good about discovering her Woman Within and sees crossdressing as another mode of self-expression. She is especially happy that this mode of self-expression is personally and socially healthy and rewarding. Even more, she says that crossdressing is just plain fun! Well, who would wear all those undergarments and put on make-up if it were not fun?
Professionally, Vanessa is in the aerospace industry. Her hobbies are "surfing the InterNet", AutoCad, reading, writing and listening to music. Linda and Vanessa are also bonsai enthusiasts. Here is a brief listing of her "Favorites":

Vanessa and Linda don´t categorize themselves as religious; however, their beliefs and value systems are rather obvious from their writings and they are basically Taoist by nature. Check out Vanessa's article on Crossdressing & Religion, entitled "The Vinegar Tasters."
A couple of months ago, Linda finally convinced Vanessa to have her ears pierced! WOW!! A whole new world of earrings to choose from. Now, just how big do those gold hoops get??
Long ago, when Vanessa needed help and someone to talk to, a sister crossdresser, JoAnn Roberts, was there for her and answered her letters and requests for information. Now, with the "electronic age" she is doing her best to return the favor. JoAnn, who helped Vanessa as she was coming out, told her, "There are no Paybacks, only Payforwards. Help someone else and that is thanks enough for me." Vanessa and Linda hope that you find something of value in their pages.
