Have You Ever Dressed Like A Member Of The Opposite Sex?

[arwalden]

I have... and let me tell you... I do NOT make a pretty woman. A friend of mine who did drag convinced me to go out with him in drag... he helped me pick out my outfit and helped me a little with the makeup. But it was a disaster. Funny... but still a disaster.

Sorry, no pictures. You'll just have to use your imagination of me dressed as Patsy Cline.

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. Do jeans and a T-shirt count?

I am 5' 10" and have extremely long legs, so I buy men's jeans.

[arwalden]

3. I Don't Know... I Guess It Would Depend On Your Intent...

were you *trying* to look like a man? :hi:

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. No...just to be comfortable and wearing jeans long enough....

so I didn't look like a total dork.

:hi:

[datasuspect]

2. i have

i'm more a pretty man than i am a handsome man anyway.

[tmooses]

4. Just a thought. Why the opposite sex and not the other sex?

[UncleSepp]

8. Hey, that's a really good point!

[tmooses]

11. When I think of opposite I think of Dem/Repub or left vs. right-not sex.

[arwalden]

14. Interesting Observations... But

... try not to read too much into my question. It's all in fun.

[arwalden]

12. Hmmm...

I do not know. I had no particular reason for choosing those words. That's just how it came out. :shrug:

[motely36]

5. I have several times

and I do have pictures ;)

[UncleSepp]

6. Quite often... even at work.

I don't pass most of the time, but I don't really care. Me in a suit and tie and hat, though, is nowhere NEAR as odd-looking and hilarious as me in a dress, makeup, and heels. You know that pained look that dogs have when they come from the groomer, and they have painted nails and funny looking coat cuts and bows on their heads? Take that and combine it with a cat that has tape on its paws, and that's me trying to dress female. :-D

[driver8]

42. Dressed up like Mary Catherine Gallagher for Halloween a few years ago

My wife couldn't believe how good my legs looked in a skirt!!

[UncleSepp]

43. Here's a picture of a night out a few months ago

Not my happiest face, but...

[driver8]

64. Excellent!! Very well done...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Nope...

I'm uncomfortable in jeans, and enjoy looking like the woman I am too much, anyhow!

:hi:

[merh]

29. Even during the Annie Hall era?

:shrug:

I mean, Dianne Keaton did have her own fad going for awhile. :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Nope, not even then...

I was NEVER even tempted...

[merh]

31. Good for you.

:applause: Stay true to yourself and the fads be damned. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. That's how I am, and how I am happy!

Fads have NEVER been my thing, and never will!

Thanks!

:pals:

[merh]

34. That comes as no surprise to me after reading your posts.

It is good to share this board with you. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. I have a new Buddy on my list...

It is very good to share this board with you, as well!

:hug: back atcha!

[merh]

37. What an honor!

:blush: thank you. :pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. You're welcome!

:loveya:

[bigwillq]

9. Yes-On Halloween once

Don't look so swell as a chick!

[Deja Q]

10. I wear a ring, does that count?

[greekspeak]

13. Why, Yes. As Iola Boylin from TV's "Mama's Family" for Halloween

Here is a pic of her if you do not know her.



She is the one on the far left in the pink dress.

[Lars39]

16. Pics, please!

:D

[greekspeak]

19. I fear I have no pictures of my venture into the drag side of life

I know they have been taken of me. Probably while I am roaring drunk. So much for being an elected official!

[arwalden]

18. I'd Love To Dress As Vera Carp... Or Bertha Bumiller.

[ronnykmarshall]

54. OH. MY. GAWD!

Our people really can think up of some off the wall drag!

I saw a Cory Aquino in SF one time.

[greekspeak]

62. That is great! I saw live sex though a window in SF one time. On Castro

During the pride festivities. Really something, that was.

[sundog]

15. c'mon allen... post a pic!

:P

[arwalden]

20. Here's One...

That's Patsy... now imagine her looking BAD. Really bad! Really really bad. Add a floral hat and a shedding "mink" (rabbit) stole. I was a fashion disaster. Like a blind woman who dressed herself by choosing things from a strangers closet.

I'm afraid the photos that WERE taken that evening are long gone.

[sundog]

27. you look great in drag!

spitting image! :P

[hickman1937]

17. Ya, when I was 12. Holloween, dressed as a hobo.

Got in trouble for it too. Not for good reasons either dammit.:nuke:

[tedoll78]

21. Not yet.

I haven't lived-up to the gay stereotype, sorry..

BUT.. I do want to be a HoveRound Lady for Halloween.. going-out and renting a HoveRound from a medical supply company & getting some vintage "old lady clothes"..?

I think it'd be hilarious. I could ride up & down 6th Street here in Austin, shreiking "HoveRound!" like I'm at the Grand Canyon & singing "Now I'm free to see the world!"

[Redstone]

22. Good god, no.

Why would I want to do that?

Redstone

[kevsand]

24. For the spring play in the 8th grade.

I was the lead in "A Boy Named Beulah." Sort of a Charlie's Aunt kind of thing.

[Bucky]

25. I did drag for a teacher talent show when I was teaching 6th grade.

I got about the same "Mr Rea, you're one uuuglee woman" reactions from the kids.

[Clark2008]

26. Couldn't pull it off if I tried.

I mean, I wear the boyfriend's stuff and he thinks it's "cute," but I'm only 5'1" and curvy - let's put it this way, other than the three hairs I pluck from my chin, I have no male features, what-so-ever. Well, "traditional" male features, anyway.

The only way I'd look like the other sex is ... well, I couldn't.

Not that I'm making a judgment, just stating a fact.

That said, I understand why it's fun as hell. :)

[elshiva]

28. Always wanted to be a drag king, but no...

I do have a drag name, though, Ralph, does that count?

[Initech]

32. I nearly broke my leg wearing heels once

On a dare, too. And that was pretty much all it took.

[Nevernose]

35. Thanks, Arwalden -- you've ruined Patsy Cline for me

Yeah, I know, she already looks a little mannish -- not what corporate Nashville is selling these days, but what else can I say? I do so love Patsy Cline...

[TimeChaser]

39. Yep

I crossplayed as Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing at an anime convention once.

[Blue-Jay]

40. One of my former bands dressed as the Go-Gos

It was for Halloween.

I shaved my beard and legs for the occasion, and had a drag queen friend help me with clothes and makeup. It wasn't pretty. Lord, no.

[liontamer]

41. kind of

I tend to gender curve more than gender bend. For example, I once dressed up as a drag queen.

[WeRQ4U]

44. Yep. I was "Mr. DHS" my senior year in High School.

It was a beauty contest for men. But the catch was we had to do it in drag. I guess I was a hot blond.

[terrya]

45. Yes...and it was even worse than yours, Allen.

When I was living in Dallas, a friend of mine who did drag (and was quite beautiful) convinced me to do drag for Halloween. He helped me pick out my outfit, let me borrow one of his wigs, did my makeup...and I was spectacularly ugly. There were pictures taken...said pics are, the last I knew, still in Dallas somewhere. :-)

[Patiod]

46. Looked damned good as Capt. Morgan for Halloween

Borrowed an embroidered colonial-looking jacket from my friend who plays Jefferson at Williamsburg.

No moustache or beard, but I did have a pirate hat, and offered attractive men a shot from the bottle of Capt. Morgan spiced rum I conveniently carried around.

Very effective way to meet guys, I must say....

[Trigger Hippie]

47. No, never did it. But, I wouldn't mind

going all Marlene Dietrich-y in a tux. That's cool. :) :hi:

[Misunderestimator]

48. Why yes I have...Me, at a halloween party...

I might have been drinking...

[arwalden]

50. Very Nice.

:hi:

[Misunderestimator]

51. Thought you might appreciate it.

:hi: :loveya:

[progmom]

57. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

59. Oh gee.... thanks....

[progmom]

60. you just wanted to use the pouty smiley

you know i :loveya: you!!!!

[Misunderestimator]

61. Of course I do.

:loveya:

[ronnykmarshall]

49. Yes and here's the picture to prove it.

[arwalden]

53. Is That You On The Left?

I remember that photo... The shape of the shadow reveals your aunt's poofy teased-up hair-do.

[ronnykmarshall]

55. That's me

Geraldine Jones!



Flip Wilson did it better.

[no name no slogan]

52. Yes, a couple times

Once at work, on new years eve, when I lived in the UK. The gents dressed as ladies, the ladies as gents. One fella was particularly fetching, and even got hit on by a few guys that night. Of course, they realized she was a he when he opened his mouth to say "Have you been served?" :D

[sniffa]

56. yes

i Look smashing in friLLy panties.

[bridgit]

58. yup, my brother & me went to a party...

he went as a chick & i went in his plumber clothes

[Nikia]

63. A couple of outfits have made me look more butch

Dress pants and button up shirts. I have breasts and long hair though so it wasn't like I was trying to pass. I just didn't want to look girly for the particuliar situations.
