Get great ladylike curves in an instant. If it sounds too good to be true that’s because that’s often the case. However not this time. Ever now and again I get a challenge which is a little too hard to resist. Recently I was asked if I could recommend somewhere to buy cheap hip and thigh pads. Now at this point, I will say I normally wear quite expensive silicon hip pads. It would be fair to say they are not cheap. So I consulted the net and found some possibilities, but they were either too small, ineffective or too expensive for what they were. My next option was to possibly make my own, now ..read more

Cross dressing Makeover – Green eyed monster well not really as this particular video has nothing to do with jealousy. Every now and again I get requests for various looks which I’m always happy to assist with or at least attempt! The challenge was to produce a green eyeshadow look that was both striking and yet not that difficult to reproduce. I have personally found the greens a little bit of a challenge to use as for some reason they always look a little washed out on my complexion. I have also been experimenting a little with the various Lip stains available out there to get a long-lasting ..read more

I wrote a four-part personal blog posted in October 2017 telling of my revival after 35 fallow years. Over two to three years using the Translife Dressing Service I explored my reawakened cross-dressing through dressing up, photo sessions and, after time, day and evening excursions with Andy, Sophie and Krista. This blog covers what I did next, my evolving female persona and managing my wardrobe – a limited personal collection often worn with favourite items from Translife’s rail. It is a personal blog describing my experiences and thoughts as an occasional but keen straight cross-dresser. I a ..read more

Have you ever wondered how to create a more realistic cleavage? Over the years I have tried virtually every form of silicone breast form and chest-plates to try and achieve a good cleavage one that well makes people question what’s before them. Until recently I was never exactly satisfied, I have used chest tape to produce the effect, however, sadly the suppliers of the product suddenly announced they would no longer be providing the product. This left me a little bereft of ideas as other tapes I have used were either too aggressive (duct tape) and took my skin off or would simply gi ..read more

Croosdresssing Dreams Wow! What a fantastic couple of days! So many firsts, so many targets achieved and desires fulfilled. I can’t believe I’ve done all the things I’ve wanted to do but never had the nerve to do. I really don’t know where to start. I’m happily married to a wife I love very much. She doesn’t know about my crossdressing, how could I ever tell her. I would be far too scared of how she would react or think. I’d been to a number of dressing services over the years, although fine, they had never really fulfilled my desires. I’d bought a number of outfits over the years but kept thr ..read more

En Femme Style what is it and what defines it? Style and En Femme are terms I quite often hear from clients of our Dressing Service. It is a way of expressing a certain mode of dress or appearance that represents a classic ladies style or appearance or so I thought. After sitting and examing the very simple phrase “En Femme Style” I thought a good place to start would be a defined more accurately the meaning of the phrase. Thank goodness for Wikipedia whos definition for the phrase en femme is: The term en femme [ɑ̃ fam] is a lexical borrowing of a French phrase. It is used in the transgender ..read more

Wig Styles shades and all the things in between can be a nightmare believe me. I believe on average it takes around four to five purchases before you settle on a style and shade your truly happy with. There are so many parameters to consider that’s why I believe it is advantageous to either pop along to a wig retailer if you can to try before you buy if possible. Failing that we always encourage our Dressing Service clients to go through as many of our styles as possible just to see which one they feel and look comfortable in. Over the years I have worn literally 100’s of wigs from very cheap ..read more

As I approached Brunswick Street West, the home of Translife my heart was pumping fast with nerves. I got out of the taxi and made my way to the front door ringing the doorbell I was greeted by Krista, Andys partner, I was invited in and straightaway made to feel at home, within a few minutes Andy arrived in the room, The three of us sat down and talked about why and what I would like to get from this weekend, as this was the first ever time I will be walking out dressed as a lady in my life I was to say I was very very nervous, So what seemed like about five or 10 minutes of talking which was ..read more
