My CD Journey (Part 14) - My Short Walk of Fame [My first Dress Out Experience]

Supposed to post this blog before the end of last year and now is already the 2nd month into 2022. I do apologise for the lack of update as I am quite busy with work and finally managed to squeeze some time to work on this… I was working on this post halfway before I got suck into work and busyness… Anyway, here goes…

I have achieved yet another milestone for Francesca… I finally stepped out of my closet and into the public… Well, for 15 minutes or so… Even though It was just a short moment but it was quite an experience and I learned a lot that day around dressing out… Going to share my first dress out experience. Hopefully I can inspire others to do it also. 

Before going into the details, I have to set the context that ended with me dressing out for the first time. Around the start of December 2021, my CD idol W, messaged me to arrange for another meetup session at my lair on 26th December, which is just one day after Christmas. I thought it was an excellent idea as I can organise a mini X’mas celebration with another CrossDresser. Quite a refreshing idea, so I reserved the date and set everything in motion. Luckily this time round, I have gotten the essential sorted out during the last meet-up, so I do not need to get anything such as a proper chair or cutleries. 

In order to celebrate this festive season, I gotten a log cake beforehand and had apportion some for my personal consumption at home to avoid suspicion from my wife. I claimed that I am meeting up with a group of friends to celebrate Christmas, so I got the log cake for them. 

On the day of the meet-up, I brought the log cake and went straight to my lair and kept it in the refrigerator outside my unit. This time round, luckily there is no hiccups or sudden visit by my “neighbours”, so I can CD in peace. We arranged to meet around 3:30pm and I arrived at my lair much earlier, so I got more time to get myself ready for the meet-up.

Everything went quite well that day as I was not stressed out by the presence of my “neighbour” like the other time, my commercial unit was quite quiet for a Sunday afternoon, which I find it rather conducive for me to dress up. W was a bit late that day but she was so fast to get herself ready for the meetup.

Much like the other time, I waited patiently for W’s arrival, it was much easier to coordinate as she had already visited my lair before. So when W arrived, I just bring in the log cake from the refrigerator and we proceed to have our “high-tea” session in my lair. I was helping W with some photoshoots by setting up the lights while she did a fashion change by pairing different clothing and hosiery to match the festive mood. I must say, W has a good collection of clothing and hosiery.

After all that, we both sat down and chatted and W proposed that we should try going out into the public. I was quite reluctant initially but seeing how W is such a sport and considering that it was a Sunday and the area of my commercial unit area is quite deserted, I decided to step out… For this once… As I head out with W, my heart was at my mouth as it is pounding so hard. I was really nervous as I was scare that my big build will give me away as a CrossDresser. However, W assured that there was no one around and it was all fine.

We walked to the lift lobby but I was feeling really nervous as there is a camera around that area. However, W put my mind at ease that we were both wearing face mask and with our dressing, no one can tell. As we got into the lift, I was looking at the reflection and realised that with a face mask, my wig and dressing did make me more feminine…

We both walked out to a nice area and we started taking wefies to commemorate my first time dressing out in public. While we were doing that, I realised that there was a lady walking towards our direction. I really panicked but W was all natural and treated it like nothing happened. Indeed, the lady just walked past us, minding her own business. We both just laughed and I told W that we should go back to my lair as the heels were “killing” me. It was the first time I really worn heels and walked around and it is no easy feat. I really wondered how ladies do that all the time…  

After going back to the lair, it was getting a bit late for me as I did not want my wife to grow suspicious. W bid her farewell to me and she went out by herself while I started to clean up. After cleaning up and packing, time for me to head back home. However, to my surprise, my face mask was caked with cosmetics. I was really shocked but luckily for me, I got spare mask in my car. So I hurried to my car, “masking” my nose and mouth with my hand until I got to my car and took out a new face mask. Thankfully for me, it was quite a quiet Sunday and there was no one around.

And with that, it ended my second meetup with W and also my first but short dress out experience… A few things I have learned. Firstly, walking in heels is not easy and will need a lot of practice. I really wondered how the other CDs managed this, I was contemplating for get heels that are lower (maybe around 3cm) so that it will be easier for me to walk in. Next, I also learned to stand by some spare face masks in my lair in case similar things even happen again. The big question to end it all, will I dare to dress out again… Well, the truth is, I was indeed planning to dress out one of these nights for a short while but my sanity or maybe was it my fear that always dissuade me otherwise. Maybe what I need is courage and a little nudge from W. Haha… Maybe next time, I really hope to be able to dress out, drive to a secluded place and walk for a while, just maybe… Just to share the photo taken during that session. Enjoy and cheers.

  1. Happy to hear that you have finally stepped out in public! It's a big scary step for any in the community, but with each time out, it gets a bit less scary.

    1. Hi Isabelle, thanks for dropping by. Sorry for the late reply as I have been quite busy with work and life. Have not been CDing much these days... Thanks for the encouragement. Probably should really try to step out into public more often so that I will be out of closet. Haha.

    1. Thanks Joey. It was like just like 10 to 15 mins outdoor. I guess I really stick out like a sore throat though... Have not been dressing out in public since.
