Transvestia

I

early life with books, a habit I still practice. didn't like to play with other children, never took part in sports and would, usually, return home from school in the afternoons and curl up on a sofa and read until my eyes hurt. One afternoon, because of illness or some other long forgotten reason, Kay, my cousin's friend, did not go to work and was home when I returned from school. My Mother always insisted that I change my clothes after school in order to keep them looking nice and to put on older things to play in. This particular day I was in my room, at this time I believe I was eleven years old, when Kay came in while I was standing in my under- clothes. She was a pretty girl, about my size though seven or eight years older. She wore her dresses quite short, as was the style in those days - The Roaring Twenties and always used a heavy perfume that I enjoyed smelling. She asked what I was doing and I replied that I was changing clothes to go out and play.

She asked if I would like to stay in with her and play 'dress up'. I replied that I would, not having the slightest idea what dress up was and she took my hand and led me into her bedroom. There she had me take off my underwear and long black stockings that all we kids wore then, went to her bureau drawer and took out a pink silk under-garment she called a chemise. This she put over my head and the feel of it against my skin immediately aroused some strange inner feeling that is with me yet today. She then gave me a pair of her silk hose to put on, the popular color at that time being gunmetal, and a pair of round elastic garters to hold them up with. My feet were small enough, or hers large enough, so that a pair of her high heeled shoes fitted me perfectly. She then selected a dress from her closet and I put it on. It was, as I remember, too long, and she put a belt around my middle pulling the dress up until it hung just above my knees. Looking down at my legs I remember how nice I thought they looked in the silk stockings and my feet in the high heeled shoes.
