A Quiet Walk Fri, 16 March 2007 05:53 Go to next message
Spendy Belt
I wonder how many of us that aren't quite brave enough to show our feminine side to the world in daylight, like to have a quiet walk at night / early morning?
I got into the habit when i was in the Post Office, 5:30 start but i used to get up about 3, dress in whatever took my fancy, generally some form of PVC-wear with a PVC six strap suspender belt that i purchased from Midnight Lady (fitting), and my fave at the time thigh boots.
Out to the car, boots on the back seat and a little drive thru the empty streets and up a country lane to an out of the way place. Park up, boots on, then strut my stuff in the four inch heels that my boots had! The sheer bliss as the heels sounded on the concrete.
This went on for a couple of years until i left the PO and by then, i was quite a confident walker in such high heels.

Zip forward ten years or so and my partner starts an early morning job. Occasionally requiring a lift in at 4:30AM, i dress up, drives her to work, then finds a quiet lane and starts my little walks again. Oh, by now, the boots aren't on the back seat, I'm wearing them!!!! Partner calls me a 'Tart' as i can drive in heels. She doesn't help with the tart image, as she once bought me a pair of calf length boots with a three inch platform!!!
Yep, strutting along in a short skirt, flashing and twanging my suspenders, back in heaven. Plenty of rabbits around as well, wonder what they thought??? Sometimes, just wore bra, panties and belt under a mac and i used to walk along with the mac wide open. Total hussy!
Found two lanes close by that received quite a pounding from my heels. Then we moved to a more urbanised setting, but luckily the houses around us were built around a communal car park. So, out the back gate and I'm off again!
I was so used to the platforms with their height, that i wore quite comfortably, a pair of lace up calf boots with a five inch spike heel. Before the platforms, i could walk in these, but always wobbly and not for very long.
Now we've moved again and I've got nowhere to walk, as the roads are a little bit busier at all times and parking is a pain so i can't drive anywhere, so its just the basque and stockings around the house matched with my five inch courts.
Thanks for your patience in reading thru this and a BIG! thank you to SHQ for providing the means to tell my tale.

You have succeeded in opening up an entirely new realm of fetish; exposure to bunnies. I know that you were being a bit coy, but I find your level of compulsion no less disturbing.

As far as your other comments such as the "shaking legs" when you pull up your stockings, I do wonder exactly what you must think of us.

Thankfully, I am not your wife nor partner as your affectations simply go too far for my taste as a woman and into the realm of insult.

And please don't attempt to imbue me with the usual guilt trips from the past that I detest cross dressers as most of you know better. This one just gets to me in all the wrong places.

Kari.... This is the Male Issues forum!
I'm not a regular frequenter of this venue and my thoughts on cross dressing are not to be published... suffice it to say that it ain't for me. But even I'd I'd not even consider criticising a chap who writes his thought out (and writes them quite well) in a space reserved for those who think as he does.

Have the bunnies complained to the police? Have there been reports of traumatised bunnies seeking counselling on the NHS? No? Then what's the issue? Rolling Eyes

Thanks for the support, Grandad.
I'm reminded of Shakesperare, 'To Suffer the Slings and Arrows of Outrageous Fortune'.
But Kari is entitled to her opinion, its whatever floats her boat.

My oh my! There are people who do awfully nasty things to each other in the name of sex and enjoyment. Some of those things are truly disgusting and make me feel sick. Others have died as a result of their fetish activities.

This guy just likes to play with ladies clothing for his bit of fun. It seems he keeps it mostly to himself and his partner has little or no problem with his activities. To me it's a case of 'live and let live'.

I can't disrespect Kari for her comments, but I think she would have been better off keeping her thoughts to herself, especially in the male issues section.

Good evening.

I did, Lesley? Please please tell me where it is. Wink

You can always be guaranteed a bit of girly indignation when that old chestnut is trotted out. Mad

Now on to this issue and my explanation.

Yes, I was most definitely over-the-top and this new author happens to be a fine and expressive writer; All the more ammunition for my own comments as this is an intelligent and possibly brilliant man.

You guys "walk in our shoes" all the time, but that is literally and simply.

There does come a point, even with a very contemporary woman like me, that we reach our limits of how clothing assigned to our gender is perceived.

Wearing it, frankly, is a daily thing and hose and heels are what I wear in my work, basques etc. in the bedroom and never trousers for anything unless they are harem, opaque or palazzo and worn with heels and hose.

Does this make me a hussy? I just resented the personification and will say to all of you that this constant perception of sexual innuendo attached to our hose, lingerie and shoe choices is precisely why many of us have turned butch. Don't you think I've spoken with many other women about this?

With all the new permissiveness and gender variation groups etc. I sometimes fear that genetic women will be the butches permanently while the more radical cross dressing men will inherit some sort of exaggerated female appearance as in drag culture and force us to give up and wear cotton panties for the rest of our days, frightened of being perceived for sex only each time we wear hose and chiffon to see a bloody play.

OK. This is most definitely a rant but please place it in perspective. I have been consistently the only woman posting here and have received letters etc. from literally hundreds of you gents through the years......

I care very much about you but I also care about me and what might happen to my gender as a whole in the future.

I do apologize for unleashing on you as if you are responsible for the entire mess, Spendy Belt. You were simply a trigger to something I have needed to say for many years.

As far as my not having the right to speak out on a Male Forum, I would agree if the forum were locked and available to men only. If not, this is still a free exchange of ideas as are the other three forums.

More power to you, Spendy Belt. I really like your (writing) style. Smile

Love,

Kari Smile

Hi Kari,
It was very gracious of you to reply and explain the thought processes behind your vehement attack on me.
Your views on cross dressing and its attendent issues remind me of the infinite onion, so many layers that can be peeled away and you still get nowhere! It's like the Bard of Peckham, Derek Trotter once remarked, "I don't need a trick-cyclist to tell me how I tick."
A lot of what you said was so far over my head, that even now, a flight of Hurricanes have been scrambled in an alert,
"Incoming tripe raid, escorted by twaddle. Angels one-five. Tally ho, tally ho, tally ho!!"

What the underlying reasons are for our differing views, is probably just a clash of cultures and class. I've noticed that from other postings of yours and the gist of your explaination, that you are a very classy lady. Concerts, plays, discussions with lady friends about innuendo associated with TV's.
My discussions generally discuss how Man U are going to stuff The Arsenal and latest plots on telly soaps like 'Stenders and Corrie! A good play is regarded as who has the less scrapes after a bit of footie in the parking lot.
This side of the pond, we do not have the emphasis that you have in the U.S. on words like, 'Hussy' or 'Tart'. Culturally, we have them as semi-jokey terms.
I'm just a normal Joe who moves 'fridges around on pallets all day and prefers to unwind dressed like Frank-n-Furter. There's no wigs or makeup ever involved, I don't atempt to feminise myself, my gender is 100% male, there is no female side to me, 20 years down the line, I'm not going to want my grand kids to call me 'Granny'.
Slipping from dusty, cruddy overalls into a nice pair of stockings in the privacy of my own home shouldn't cause ripples halfway around the world.
If it does, then that Scotsman, Frazer, was right.
"We're doomed, mon, doooommmmmeeeedddddd!"
All the best, girl.
Take care and, please, Chill! Smile

Well said Spendy. Found your stories very interesting. Not my thing, but whatever makes you happy and doesn't bother anyone else is fine with me.

You clearly don't intend to offend anyone as your post said, since the lanes have become busier you are more or less confined to the house.

Walk on proudly

Actually Ed, you placed this completely into perspective.

I lived in England for nearly five years but was quite isolated because I was engaged and in school as well. I really never was overly exposed to male cross dressing but recall it a healthy part of the British culture.

Having returned to the States, I once again at times tend to take on American attitudes.......Uptight and unhealthy.

And although I am still firm on ovely-blending the genders, this does clearly not apply.

You're a doll and I hope that you reside here for a long time. You're a breath of fresh air, actually.

Love,

Kari Lyn Smile

Hi Kari Lyn, Very Happy
Well, this misunderstanding is totally in the past, Nod,let's leave it there.
I've been going thru an awful lot of your past postings and you have a MASSIVE influence and dare i say, Fan Club, amonsgst regular users of these forums.

I'm all storied out now, my origins are off my chest, the excuberation of walking the streets in footwear that I admire has been shared. I do express myself in very articulate ways as I'm a massive reader and your opinion 'being a bit coy,' i would say sums me up as a person in all aspects of my life.
My main aim now is to respond to forums with as much passion as all the other users around us.
Mrs Spendy has seen other couples posting private pictures and whilst she will admit that she is no oil painting, she is prepared, just like everyone else, to expose all her 'wobbly' bits for the common interest that we all show.
Through me, she has discovered mild fetishism and is becoming a regular stocking wearer, enjoying the sensations for herself and not because it turns me on. (It does, but she feels good about herself and that is the main thing I want to see.)
Warmer weather is on its way, (saying that, the forecast tomorrow is for that rare beastie nowadays, snow!) and as my partners daughter likes to be taken swimming, shaven legs for stockings aren't really the thing in the pool or on the beach. So, for the family, the stockings are put away, hopefully migrating south, before making their annual appearence in the winter.Laughing
So, all the very best to you Kari, keep up the postings and we'll probably respond to each other on other subjects.
Ed xxx

Sounds as good an excuse as any for my 'hobby' - " a healthy part of the British culture"

Have gone for walks in a park near our home after dark wearing stockings. The feeling is unbelievable especially when other people walk by. One of these days I hope I can go out in the daylight without a problem but for now enjoy your night time walks.

During warm weather months, I walk early (still dark) in the morning in walking shorts, Tee shirt and support stockings. I have both black and nude stockings, and have met neighbor ladies out for their early morning walks many times. Once one neighbor stopped under a steet light so I could pet her two dogs. We talked for a few minutes, and I could tell that she noticed the black stockings, but she didn't say anything about them.

I have gone out jogging in the summer daylight hours wearing nude support pantyhose under running shorts, and no one seemed to care.
