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
