My Experiences Cross Dressing

So, as probably everybody (or mostly everybody) knows, I crossed dressed for Halloween, and it was both the best and worst moment of my life.

First off, there was the makeup. Oh my goodness that was one of the most uncomfortable things ever. I don't even know how to being describing it, but I just didn't feel like my face belonged to me and it felt like there was a bunch of stuff on it. I don't know if anybody else ever feels like that (the part where my face didn't feel like it belonged to me), but I have gained a new appreciation of people who wear makeup.

It also felt strange having lipstick on. I don't know if it's supposed to kinda feel like having chap-stick on or not, but it just felt like something a little heavy was on my lips. For some reason it also made me mumble a bit when I was talking, but that might have just been my fault. Also, I learned the hard way that if you don't use lotion after removing the makeup your face will be super dry and crack. And then using lotion will burn.

Then there's the clothes I wore. They offered almost no protection against the elements. I don't understand, is a cardigan supposed to be used to complete the look of an outfit, or is it supposed to actually function like a jacket or sweater?

The pantyhose...I obviously have no clue about these clothing items because I have no idea what the pantyhose was supposed to do. I still don't. The only thing I think the pantyhose did was scar some of the people on the first floor for life. Then there's the dress, which again, offered little to no protection against the cold. It sucked. Especially because of the wind.

Though there was still tons of great memories too. I loved the reactions I got. Some people just stopped and stared, so I think it's safe to say I shocked a lot of people by cross dressing. I got asked a lot of questions such as, "Did your parents see you before you left the house?" (the answer is yes) and "Oh my gosh, Eric?"

Also, on the bright side, I got a big candy bar from the costume contest!

I've learned a lot about what not to wear to stay warm, what to do to make sure I don't feel like my face is burning off, and how to have no shame. Still, I doubt I'm ever going to cross dress again.
