I wanted to start a new thread with the latest news regarding the ongoing situation with my wife and myself.
Well, on Monday night i decided I wasn't going to leave discussing something with my wife that I had mentioned to her a while ago, and that was wanting to have a makeover as a first step to moving forward.
I decided to ask for her permission and to let her know this was something i really wanted to do, it was met with silence! And I could tell she was uncomfortable about it so I let her see the studio and MUA I have in mind and that it was a reputable makeover artist who specialises in transgender and Crossdressers with several services on offer, I decided to leave it and not push as i could see she was feeling awkward.
On Tuesday morning i recieved a txt from her saying that if this was what I really wanted to do then i could 'go for it!"
She also said that she was still trying to come to terms with it all but giving her time she will be able to get used to it in her own way.
So now with my wife's blessing and knowledge I can start to plan my first makeover and photo shoot as Catriona.
But all day yesterday I felt quite guilty for having to try and broach the subject again but it was something i had to do and I wasn't going to let time get the better of me again and leaving it so I was affraid to bring the subject up again.
But now she's given me some space to go out and be Catriona, even though its in a safe and accepting environment for trans and Cd's it's not in secret in my house, and the guy who runs the studio is very well respected in the transgender community.
So in a couple of months Catriona is going to be able to have her first makeover, and I feel a major step forward has been achieved.
Lots of love,

Exciting Car the results will blow your mind lol that's from him learnt a lot too the both of us and we did the walk outside and no one.Sussed him we even drove home him dressed
Emma (wife)
Such a rush going out walking in public
Do the walk you won't regret it
I can understand the money side of it, it's not that cheap, but you sort of answered your own question, "It's how fem I can look"! That's exactly why I'm doing the makeover and photo shoot, and although I'm not getting out in public yet i do post a lot of photos on my Facebook page and like to share my look with my friends, it's done wonders for my confidence getting compliments from all over the world, from men, women, other Cd's and transgender women as well, so it's worth it for me, and I know for a fact it gives others inspiration to go and do the same.
The other reason is to learn how to do my own makeup properly, so I can recreate the look the pro makeup artist will do for me.
Plus it's another little step to trying to go out, I only live 30 mins away, so I've arranged with the MUA that I'll arrive in drab, spend the day as Catriona learning and having the photo shoot and then dress down and come home in drab, I suppose if I was brave enough I could try and go for a small walk around the block and then back to the studio, not sure about that.
Sounds fab if love a proper makeover see how fem I could really look but I struggle with the cost and is it worth it.
I contacted a beautician who does home makeovers we exchanged a few emails but but we're just out of her range.
I'll keep looking for someone who can do a home makeover for me and Esme
Makeover update!!!
It's all booked! For the 16th August
I've decided to book the MUA and his studio for the whole day!
In the morning I'll be having a three hour full face makeup lesson so I can at least come away with a proper idea of what i need to be doing and be able to improve on my makeup skills, I also get a detailed pack of the products used and the best way to use them.
Then in the afternoon I'll have a makeover and photo shoot, so I'm really excited about this and really looking forward to it.
I checked with my wife again just before i booked it and asked if it was ok for me to go ahead, and to tell her which day I was going to have it done, I can tell she's still a little uneasy about it all but she being fantastic in allowing me to have the freedom to do this.
I'll keep you updated.

Thanks Davina, yes we are starting to get there now, as i say she's still trying to cope with it all, and is finding it difficult to talk to me face to face, but I'm ok with her texting me if she's more comfortable doing that.
I'm not going to push the issue any more now and let her deal with it in her own way as she says, and if and when she wants to see the photo's then I'll gladly show them to her.
What was the name of the MUA in South Wales, as I've asked around and the name Jecca Blac has been recommended, so if it's not the same person, here's a link for you, hope it helps.

A makeover sounds good another thing on the bucket list to do as a t girl see how convincing a pro make up artist can make you look and snap some photos.
Sounds like good progress with your wife it's worth noting the bullet sometimes and she can see you're being honest about a bucket list item.
I've contacted a localish makeup artist who advertised as South Wales comes to the house to do a makeover.. unfortunately were out of her catchment area.. was thinking a girls night in me and Esme get made up by a pro.
She's said we can go to her or if we stayed in a hotel closer to her she's come there and do a makeover.. A pity she won't come this far as would be easier for us lol
One day maybe get a makeover.
Davina
Thanks Emm xx
Well done Cat, as you know I am very pleased for you, it has been a struggle for you getting this far, can’t wait to see the photos
