Back in the Top 10 – A Pink Dress, A Picture, and a Bit of Escapism

Well, this gave me a lift…
I’ve just seen that my latest profile photo on TVChix has gone straight in at number 4 in the Top 40 T-Girls on the site!
Honestly, it’s a lovely feeling.
That moment of recognition — Not just for looking nice, but for the effort, the care, and, yes, the little bit of vanity I put into being Davina.
It’s mad to think that back in 2021 I reached number 1 in my flowery mustard dress and a pose in my bathroom where there's good lighting lol and I’ve floated in and out of the top 10 and 20 a few times when I've changed profile pics after a day of working from home as Davina and a few selfies snapped on my old phone, emailled to Davinas email then uploaded to flikr for the memories and a new TVchix profile pic to keep my profile and how I look currently.
Some t-girls photos haven't changed in a long time and I suppose it's a way of being remembered after a chat or forum post but I like to keep mine more current so people can see my evolving look and makeup skills and how I'm ageing gracefully although I was asked how old I was yesterday when chatting and someone said 35.. lol will take that - The magic and power of makeup and the angle you take a selfie. Oh how I wish I was 35 again..
Back to the Profile photo — Me in my wife’s pink dress from a few weeks ago — seems to have struck a chord.
Maybe it’s the happy look on my face, the light in my eyes, or just the outfit and makeup falling into place.
Whatever it is, it’s resonated enough to get votes from other t-girls and admirers.
And here’s the thing that always strikes me: No one who knows me in “regular” life would ever believe I’m a crossdresser — or more accurately, a part-time t-girl.
I come across as the classic alpha male: confident, practical, grounded and you wouldn’t connect that image with someone who carefully smooths on foundation, experiments with eye shadow, and takes selfies of myself dressed as a woman for a secret flikr account documenting my growth as a T-girl.
But that’s part of the escapism, slipping into a lovely dress or a perfect pair of tights and lingerie definitely gives me a buzz. It’s the challenge and the creativity too. Can I get the wig to sit just right? Can I get the makeup to work with my face today? Can I create the illusion, even for a moment, that I pass as a woman— or at least present as a convincing woman from 100yds away lol.
When I manage it, when it all comes together and I see Davina looking back at me — and now others are seeing me too — it feels like a quiet triumph.
A little private rebellion against the grind of normal life, a version of me that’s soft, expressive, vulnerable… and even pretty.
So yes, being number 4 feels nice. Whether I go higher or drop back down, the fact that other t-girls and admirers took a moment to click that rating is much appreciated.
So thanks to everyone who voted and thank you pink dress which for some reasons in a plastic bag with other fem clothing in the bedroom if that's a discard bag that pink dress is mine lol … It's done me proud!

I do not know how you get away with wearing your wife’s dress. My wife would have a few words to say about that. It was one of the conditions my wife put in place that I never wore her clothing unless she gave me permission. The only item that we both can wear are pants both are a size 12. Her pants are underwear as she calls them mine are more lingerie and hold everything tight in position. But then she wears a size 12 top or dress I’m a 16 or 18 depending on manufacturer and sleeve length. If a blouse has long sleeves it will require me to wear and 18.
I’m glad you got in straight…
