And now on to other things

Well, since my month-long mental anguish has finally subsided (thanks Janie, Gabrielle), I can finally get back into random stories from the past and, of course, the wish list items (of which there are many!). Since I’m short on time today, I’ll have to put off the next story in line until next week (hopefully). Today, you just get a wish list item.

All of the pointers that I read seem to suggest that the most critical part of passing occurs from the shoulders up; basically, the rest of your body is irrelevant if you don’t look confident and comfortable enough up top to be convincing. Fair enough, but how is a girl supposed to get on without some curves? I think it’s time to add a padded panty to the wish list.

I found a message board conversation where someone was saying that most padded panties place hip padding too high for crossdressers, basically that they are meant to supplement already existing feminine hips. They had suggested the Classic Curves, a company that fabricates custom-sized body-enhancers specifically for the transgendered. Their enhancers place the hip padding lower, near the top of the leg, for more realistic results. Of course, they are not cheap and thusly well out of my budget.

And so, I turn to the usual suspects, but still just don’t feel really great about any of the products, even from the more reputable places. So I search again, and find the Bubbles Bodywear and Feel Foxy websites. After cruising around and reading some reviews on each website, I’ve noticed that people generally air concerns about four-pad enhancers, saying that they look too bumpy and show through too clearly. A big plus of one of the products from the Bubbles wesite is that it’s only got two pads, each wrapping around from rear to side for a smoother look.

So, from the Bubbles Bodywear website, I hearby add “The Hipee Brief Padded Panty” (picture below) to my wish list. Of course, this particular item is considerably more affordable than some other things on the list and may end up in my wardrobe not too far down the road!
