Hi everyone,
I'm June, I come from Tipperary (it's a long way to// as in the song ) in Ireland and I'm a life long crossdresser. Like so many of us, the Internet opened up a whole new world for me. As I am a fashion addict, I love to see girls turned out in beautiful clothes and looking ladylike and feminine.
One such site that I happened to stumble on was, “Angle Flicker”. Fed up with sites that presented crossdressers in a less than tasteful way, it was a joy to browse the many pictures of feminine beauty that this wonderful site contained. One such photo belonged to a Sally Payne. Looking at this photo presently led me to the “Outskirts” web site and subsequently onto the single most beautiful collection of girls, that I have ever seen.
I resolved there and then that sooner rather than later, I would travel to Birmingham and see for myself those gorgeous beauties, So thanks to the much maligned Ryan Air, I was able to make my way to Birmingham on a one cent / one penny fare and I booked my accommodation in the Ibis Hotel which Sally informed me by email was, “special girl” friendly.
Nice to be able to say that my experiences in Birmingham were totally positive. No sooner had I emerged from New Street station, feeling and looking lost, when a retired gentleman who noticed me, came to my assistance and directed me to the Ibis hotel. Although I had other business to do in town, my priority was to get to the Victoria bar for the Outskirts meeting. I had intended to go to the Victoria and change and do my make up there. So I packed my gear and off I set. A girl having a smoke outside the door told me that the meeting was not upstairs tonight, but in the lounge area. Feeling a little dispondant, I turned around and headed back to my hotel room.. At this stage my intention was to forget the whole mission and have an early night.
Feeling like a proper failure, I threw my carrier bag down on the bed. Where was my courage now when I needed it more than ever? Then I told myself that this was hardly the reason for my coming to Birmingham, to stay in my hotel room all alone. So I resolved there and then that I was going through with it, whatever happened I was going to be in the Victoria tonight. So down I sat, did my make up, dressed, grabbed my handbag and headed for the lift. (It wasn't as simple as that). Nothing was going to stop me now. The hotel reception was empty as I stepped out onto Ladywell Walk. With each step my confidence increased. No one paid the slightest attention to me as I walked the short journey to John Bright street. When I stepped into the lounge of the Victoria, I felt such a sense of achievement and homecomming.
On your website, you describe your group as being friendly and welcoming and that is certainly true. I was approached immediately on entering by a lovely girl who welcomed me warmly. Then the lovely Larna came over to me and invited me to her table. Sorry for not taking up the offer but shyness is a problem for me while either femme or male. And compliments too to the bar staff, so warm and friendly.
I walked with the girls back down the street. They were going on to enjoy more of the night while I, happy with what I had accomplished, headed back for my hotel. Larna took a photo of me outside the Hippodrome and wishing each other well we parted company. As I walked the last few steps to the Ibis, a young girl approached me selling the magazine, Big Issue. “Excuse me ma'am !!!!!!!You're not---------”. “No”, I interrupted her in a joking manner, “Don't tell me about 'big issues', ----------- can't you see that I have plenty of big issues myself”, Out of politeness, I bought the magazine and it was worth it just to hear her say,-- “Thank you love”
A huge “thank you” to all the girls and a massive “thank you” to Larna. And who knows, I might be back sooner than you think.
Love and best wishes -- June
