I realised I had a problem last week when I had time off and had to keep popping round to people with computers with the pretence of "can I check my emails" and what do I do first thing this morning on arriving on the hospital ward? Well here I am and I will be here until I leave at 3. Great isn't it

I can't find the thread that mentioned Vivienne Westwoods androgenous look to post this but as it is Eddie Izzard have put this here. So for those of you guys out there wondering about those breast prothesis, check out Eddie with his on this site.....

Squirrel, I've checked out your shoes on your website and they are fab. They all look pretty good. Take care Julie xx

What if I say that: Lily Savage, Boy George, Julian Cleary, Kylie Minnogue, Patsy Palmer, Joan Collins, Prince, David Bowie, Cilla Black, Liz Hurley all high heel wearers and all Gemini Dame Edna and Eddie Izzard Aquarians But it was the fact that there seem to be a lot of Gemini's into this that made me start this thread, so come on guys n gals add your bit. I am really interested in this. Love to you all Julie xxx

Ahhhhhh sunshine

Francis I think I have a real problem as it is permanently on whilst I am at work there is so much here that I try to read as many threads as I can. Everyone here is so cool too. Glad I'm not the only one though Jxx

Love one in pink for my daughters room and could see myself spending a lot of time in there they'd also make for some interesting shoe shoe pics

My name is Julie and I'd like to confess that I am a HighHeel meeting place addict

Take your time Laurie but it's great to have you back and I can't wait for your new revelations and writings the place wasn't quite the same without you. Julie xxx

Laurie so glad to have you back and ditto everyone really. Love Julie xxx

Hi to you all, You guys are so nice and encouraging. Some women sure don't realise how nice it is to talk to men who are in touch with their femmine side. Having a friend like that is the most wonderful thing as most women love talking about makeup, shoes and clothes etc so from my stand I think it's like having the best of both worlds without the bitching. Yamyam don't think I can make Thursday so how about we try for either Sunday 9th March or Sunday 23rd March? Any girlies want to join us? Suz do you think you could make it? Jay1 - wow I love the sound of your look. Have always been a rock fan as love all that silver and turquoise jewellery, not to mention the lipgloss again LOL. Love Lenny Kravitz when he used to wear all that. At least you are in the right field to let yourself go at people in the entertainment business can really go for it and people accept it much easier. Love the sound of those boots bet they look fantastic. Thanks again for all your encouragement and we will keep you posted with our progression. Love Julie and Polishuser2002 xxx

Squirrel Hi, I love reading your threads you are so positive and forward thinking in your strive to be yourself. I am a believer in self confidence brings a positive response from others and you are certainly in that category. Keep it up and continue in being happy being you. Love Julie xx

Hi all.

Well this is week 2 of my best friends coming out.

This week I actually went down to see him (or is it up? Geography never was my strong point ). The object of this visit was to go out and buy some make up, which is personally a thing that really appeals to me. Something about a man with lipgloss I think that goes back to the glam rock/new romantic days, I just think Adam Ant - very kissable lips...... umm (cold water over here please!)

He welcomed me into his home wearing some really nice black velvet trousers, red fleece, red painted toe nails, black nylons and red flip flop style leather sandals (actually I have the same as I bought them for us last year). I didn't realise that the trousers were in fact womens until he pointed it out later that day when he said had to change into male mode. I would have been more than happy to go out with him in those, they looked nice with my boots.... tried to persuade him to go out in them but he still hasn't the confidence. Shame he looked really nice, and lets face it velvet ummm tactile too

Another sad thing I found, well 2 things really. First thing I noticed was when the door bell rang. At that point he had changed his footwear into, what I think are his personal favourites, some nice Marks and Spencers black footglove 3" mules. Anyway he quickly went into his bedroom and changed into slippers to go and open his front door. The second, even worse, is that he lives in his own home and still hides all his lovely shoes and nail varnishes in case anyone sees them. I really felt for him at that point as I feel that when in your own home you should at least feel able to express yourself completely freely. He said, when I questioned him about it that when you are told enough to "take that off" then you become paranoid about it..... ummm I wish people were more considerate of others feelings :x

Anyway I digress (typical woman ).

Ok eventually after being a couple of couch potatos - he showed me all his photos with his various apparell and footwear, we are both quite lazy so didn't move for hours - we went into his local town to look at make up. He'd decided last week that he quite like the Catherine Zeta-Jones look as she looks in the film Chicago, basically smokey eyes, quite vampish. We ended up in Superdrug. Picked out a dark smokey grey shadow, foundation, concealer, moisturiser (an essential item to help with the application of the foundation, bronzing blusher, black khol pencil, black mascara, 2 lip glosses (one pale one called nude) and some makeup cleansing wipes. Pretty good for a first time purchase. Have to say he didn't go up to the counter with it all. I nearly forced him to to it by pushing the basket in his hand with the pretence of having to get something but thought it wouldn't really be a nice thing to do (might do it next time though ).

After having something to eat I explained how it all went together and made up one of his eyes. He applied the khol and mascara. Have to say am envious of those eyelashes, why is it that men have such fantastic eyelashes? He then added some lipgloss (ummm ahhh) and I applied a little of the blusher. He looked very sexy indeed, which given the fact that he hadn't shaved for 3 days and is very dark was quite amazing. He quite liked it too, so much so I nearly lost my mirror .

Encouraged by all this I thought up an androgenous look that we could both wear and it goes like this: Black jeans, him in my kneehigh black leather boots, me in my 4" stilleto ankle boots, tight red Tshirts and the mac in black as shown below in Argos Additions (click on colour options to see it in black). I would like the beige look but for a first outing I think that would be too much, and of course to finish the look a little subtle makeup.

We will try it out and take some pics for you to judge.

That was that really. I had a really great time with him, we get on so well anyway but this was so much fun, I think it would be safe to say one of the best days in my life so far, I just wish he had more confidence but we are working on that and when we come to meet you guys I'm sure it will help him heaps.

Hope you don't find our ramblings too boring,

Love to you all

Sweet

Sohoboot as a female I definately wouldn't wear them as they are way too masculine so I guess they are the perfect things to wear out until you gain more confidence. If I saw a guy out in those I wouldn't bat an eye. They look like heavy metal rocker boots really nice with jeans Firefox Hi, would be nice for us all to meet up there and would be great for my friend to meet others like you so that he doesn't feel so isolated. Can't wait. Love to you all Julietta xxx

Oh Yamyam I wanted to say that you are too quick off the mark Welcome back Laurie we all missed you. Glad you are feeling better. Love Julie xx

Yawn (technicolour)

Suzy I didn't realise that we were being labelled Saddam supporters, do they think that by insulting us that we are goin to change our minds? I don't buy newspapers because if I want to read fiction I buy a novel. I hate all these spin doctors that governments send in to try and brainwash us all, I resent the fact that they think we are stupid and do not have minds of our own. I personally went on that march to say that I don't care who Tony Blair or George Bush is, I don't think they have the right to dictate to me how I should live my life and that I don't think they have the right to force us as a nation into a war that the majority of us do not want, against people we know nothing of really other than what the papers say via the government. All this is supposed to be against terrorism, but what do they expect will happen if we attack their country - more terrorism obviously, when they retaliate. Lets face it if one innocent person dies because of this then that is one person too many as far as I am concerned. I am supposed to live in a democracy which means expressing what I do or do not want or like - I marched to say that I was against Blair and Bush's dictatorships, and we marched with between 1 - 2 million others who felt like us (depending on who you speak to - the organisers said there were 2 million of us on the day). There is another London march on the 7th March for women against the war and I'll be going on that one too if you want to come Suzy. I will post more when I find out about it. PJ Hi, what I have written above is more or less the feeling of everyone I spoke to on that march and there were people from all walks of life and all ages from babies (well ok they don't have opinions) but right up to the elderly with their walking sticks, so yes Britain as a whole regardless what your media says over there is dead against this war. Thank God in a way for the internet as we can really express the truth. Love and peace to you all Julie xx

It was an amazing experience and so peaceful. I met loads of nice people too and we all said the same thing and that was that none of us had been on a march before but felt that we needed to be heard. Suz you know what I was so tired that I went to bed at 8 and I ached like hell the next day. I kept meaning to look at the news and the papers but just kept getting side tracked. I never buy papers because I think they are depressing but would have liked to seen photos. Will have to go to my parents once they are flu free to see those. I loved reading the banners. My favourite was one of Tony Blair with a tea cup on his head with the slogan "make tea not war" I'd go again. I still feel the same and I guess that an awful lot more folk would turn up next time. Take care Love Julie xx
