Letters to Diane
Hello Diane!
I absolutely love your web site! It's so comforting to know that there are sucess stories about crossdressing. I am a 25 yr old cder. I have been dressing for over 10 years, but unfortunately I'm still in the closet. With the exception of a few friendss, nobody knows. I wish so much to completely cross-live that it's all I think about. All day long while at work, I dream of wearing a dress and heels, instead if boots and a tool belt. I have the unfortunate curse of being popular with a lot of people, so I can't dress up even at home sometimes. My (might as well be) "wife", yes she's female, of 4 years knows and likes it, but she doesn't want me to completely cross live. We just bought a house together, and she wants to try to get custody of her children. If this happens, I might as well hang up my dresses for a long time. I don't mean to bore you with my life, it's just nice to talk to someone about myself who would understand. I think you have a very wonderfull wife in Mary and I wish you all the luck. I'll not take up any more of your time. Thank you very much.
Sincerely Yours

Victoria,
Thank you very much for your kind words. It is always nice to hear that people are reading and enjoying my site. I can totally relate to your situation and fears of what having the children full time would do to you. As much as I love my children more than anything in the world, it was not easy to suppress Diane and try to eliminate her even for their sake. The bottom line was that in the long run I couldn't (and I am betting neither will you). My advice is that you seek out a support group if you don't have one already. At least that will provide some regular outlet and support. Also you may find friends in the group that go out on nights other then the meeting nights. I made several friends at the first meeting I attended. One of them, Holli, was single, had a place of her own and would go out often to NYC. She invited me along with her and her friends whenever I could make it. This was great! I had to negotiate with my wife (now ex) giving her the same chance to go out with her friends while I watched the kids. Admittedly I could not get out as much as I could before the kids, but still Diane lived on. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Susan,
Thanks for your kind words. I understand how hard it is for you being closeted because I lived that way for many years myself. The good news is that there is a world of good support out there for you and your spouse. From your note I can not tell if she knows or not, but either way support for you can only help. As far as groups in your area goes it sounds like you would not be far from the Western Centeral NJ Support group located in Washington's Crossing, NJ. They meet the first Saturday of each month and can be contacted at (973) 334-0416 or by email at susanw@aol.com. Tell them Diane from MOTG sent you. I wish you the best of luck and hope we can chat sometime soon.

Diane,
I noticed that you go out "en femme" in New York City. I have not yet tried to go out in public here. I was hoping tthat you could suggest some "CD friendly" places to go when dressed.
I have been dressing for a long time, but very infrequently, and haven't been able to spend much time perfecting my appearance. I found your tips quite interesting and I'm looking forward to trying some of them out.
Thanks a lot, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Bobbi,
A good place for a first outing in NYC is Karalyn's Oasis which is located at 818 10th Ave near 54th Street. The cover charge is $10 I believe and it includes one free drink. Karalyn's has a small dressing room in the back so you can change there if that is more comfortable for you. The clientele consists mostly of TG girls and male admirers. Usually there will also be a few SO's (significant others) around too. The best nights to go are Friday and Saturday if you want to meet people. Keep in mind that the bulk people generally don't start showing up until 10:00pm or later. I wish you luck and enjoy yourself!
Diane
UPDATE - Karalyn's has moved
downtown. It is now on 20th St. East between Broadway and Park Ave. in
a restaurant called the Silver Swan. It is only Karalyn's on Saturday nights
after 11pm and the rest of the time is is the restaurant. (thanks to ginnykndl
for the info)
Letters to Mary
Mary,
Let me first say that Diane is very fortunate to have found such a beautiful, loving and understanding woman in you. Very lucky indeed!
I am a very much in the closet CD
and was wondering how does one go about finding such a person as you? I
have looked and looked and have met no success. I have dreamt of finding
an accepting and understanding woman and
have pretty much resigned myself
to living in the closet.
Thanks,
X

Hello,
Let me first say that I believe that I'm the lucky one here..Diane is the most wonderful person I've ever met. I can't really say where you could meet a woman who would accept you for who you are..but I will say be up front with her from the beginning about it. I met Diane at a AOL party and found her very interesting from the beginning just because she had the balls to come, we started out as friends and I got to know Diane before I met his male side. At that moment i would never have dreamed of ever falling in love with her/him, but it happened and I wouldn't change it. I wish you good luck...Take care of yourself
Mary
