Enjoying the Fall
...and Looking Forward to My Wedding
By Brittany Rose
Dear Sisters,
Life continues to be exciting and fun!
I was invited to perform in a TG friend's
show in mid-October and I was all set to do one of my favorite
songs, "Walkin' Round in Women's Underwear" (to the
tune of Winter Wonderland). I was in costume when I discovered
that this show was a fundraiser for my friend's church. (Can you
say "open-minded" church?) So I walked out to perform
wearing my black bustier, cincher, garters and hose, and said,
"I didn't realize this was a church meeting. I'm just glad
I dressed up!" They've got another event I'm to perform at
in January, and I've been requested to do the same number. You
just never know!
For Halloween, one of the nearby casinos
sponsored Elvira lookalike contests for both male and female!
I couldn't resist, bought a cheap Elvira wig, put a cape over
my women's underwear costume and won hands down! (Nearly froze
to death, but that's another story.)
Now that the Halloween season is over,
I'm putting my Brittany things away till January. No dressing,
and I'm growing a mustache and beard. Why, you ask? Because I'm
getting married on December 20th and I'm wearing a
tuxedo. Why not a gown? Because I love my lady.
I first started to go out as Brittany
a little over a year ago, and I've had a wonderful time. I perform
or go out about once or twice a month. After over thirty years
of fantasizing about dressing I'm living my fondest dream! This
has only become a reality because I have the most wonderful, supportive
SO. However, it has been understood from the very beginning that
she is in love with my boy side, not Brittany. Unlike the TG fantasy
stories where the female wants to turn the man into a woman, my
lovely lady supports me as Brittany, and enjoys the time together,
but she is marrying me as a guy.
I have heard from others that one of
the ways that being transgendered can interfere in a relationship
is that when the woman says that she's willing to explore the
partner's transgenderism, the partner takes that as an open license
to go crazy and attempt to fulfill a lifetime of desires in the
next three weeks. As a result, the woman feels overwhelmed, and
proceeds to resent her partner's crossdressing. What started as
an open interaction filled with promise deteriorates into something
not very pretty.
I consider myself very fortunate. I
haven't gone crazy, but Brittany has certainly filled my life
for the last year. And although she hasn't always been eager to
participate, my lady has always been supportive and willing. It
has been particularly frustrating for her in one way because one
of my physical traits that she finds attractive is my furriness.
Needless to say, I haven't been very furry for the past year.
I have found an incredible woman that
I intend to spend the rest of my life with. I plan for Brittany
to be an important part of my life as well. For both of those
to happen, I have to make sure that I honor and respect my new
partner and her needs and desires. At this time that means that
I will fully be the man that she loves from now until the wedding
and through the honeymoon. And that includes being furry.
I have my entire life ahead of me to
experience the joy of being Brittany. But my priority has to be
my lady. And my wedding gift to her is to put my wigs on the shelf,
the makeup in the case, and my pads in the drawer. Happy Wedding
Day, my lady. And we'll see Brittany again after the first of
the year.
Best of the Season to you all,
Brittany Rose
