I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole, who arrived without makeup, without an outfit, but totally open to trying things on.

We were able to have a complete session with clothing provided, makeup done by myself, and the choice of hairstyle. I can’t wait to see her again to continue helping her move forward in her journey to femininity.

I’ll let you discover her testimony.

Can you introduce yourself? Age, gender, family situation, profession, city.

Hello, my name is Nicole, I am 54 years old, married for 30 years to a woman I adore, and we have two wonderful grown children.

I live in the Paris region, and I’m fortunate, compared to others, to be only 40 minutes away from Jennifer’s magical workshop.
Biologically, I am undeniably a man.
Mentally, I feel like a man or a woman depending on my desires and the moment, without really knowing why more one than the other at a given instant, and honestly, the why doesn’t matter. I consider myself very lucky to have found this duality and to have been able to recognize and reasonably accept it over time.

How long have you wanted to feel more like a woman? Is it a temporary or permanent desire?

That’s not quite the right question; I don’t want to be more of a woman or less of a man. I like to shift from one to the other depending on the time. It’s like a wave, a cycle that takes me for a while to one shore, then to the other.

I then surrender with delight, pleasure, and a certain curiosity to the shore of femininity, to the emotions and sensations connected to it.

I have been consciously and openly living this cycle for about twenty years. The much newer development is the desire to live this femininity when it presents itself and not just feel it inwardly.

This new desire is only about 3 years old, maybe.

Why this desire? What does it give you?

Why, why, why, oh my..... But I don’t know.

It just imposed itself as an obvious necessity to feel more complete as a person.

I feel more in harmony with myself.

When did you decide to dress crossgender for the first time? For what occasion? What did you feel?

Well, it happened completely unexpectedly and totally unplanned.

I’ve always had a lot of interest and attraction to women’s shoes. One day my wife bought a new pair that totally fascinated me.

The urge to try them on was just too strong, which I did as soon as I had the chance. Ah, but wouldn’t it be more elegant with a pair of tights?

Now, with cautious clicking steps, I borrowed tights from a drawer. But wait, a dress is also missing to perfect the shape of the hips, legs, and those beautiful shoes, right?

So I rummaged through the wardrobe and that’s how I found myself, no longer surprised but truly amazed, dressed as a woman in front of a mirror.

What did I feel once the surprise passed? Honestly, it was not a big success: The dress fit me like a sack of potatoes, we definitely don’t have the same size, it and I.

My hairstyle lacked femininity, my face would have appreciated nice makeup, and some jewelry would have done wonders for my look.

Yet, it was right there in front of that mirror reflecting this other image of myself that something happened.

Do you have fears regarding society, your family, etc., any apprehensions or discomfort?

Oh yes, unfortunately. I feel that my wife will understand and I aspire to reveal it to her. But, being shy and reserved otherwise, I have no desire to fight against prejudice and likely take hits for it.

I feel I can reach a balance that suits me without having to face inevitable troubles for that.

I understand those who have a vital need to be fully recognized. However, I do not feel this need, at least not yet.

Do you have expectations?

Oh yes.
In no particular order: making friends, finding my style in clothing, buying a wardrobe just for me, shoes (!).
Learning how to do makeup, going out as a woman (oh my heart races with anxiety and desire), shoes (did I already say that?), being called “madam.”
Shopping as a woman (that also makes me anxious)….

And I’m sure I’ll discover more as I progress on this path.

Why did you come to me, and what have I brought you in this stage of your life, if I brought you anything?

Ah Jennifer, you are the providence I was looking for.

Without you, I would still be in front of that mirror telling myself I want to go further but never daring to take the next step: makeup, understanding, fashion, a safe haven where I can free myself and find myself.

This first appointment was a real trigger. I’m eager to see you again to help me climb this staircase that is slowly revealing itself.

And I wish for others to dare to start. You will see she will make that first step, which you might think is a giant one, as easy and natural as possible.
Big kisses.
