Is a confession...sexy?

Experiment time.
As I write I'm wearing a dark shade of lipstick, corset, pantyhose and some very sexy Pleaser high heels (Amazon link). Oh, and I'm a bloke.

Why am I sharing this? My purpose with this blog is to man up and move away from cross-dressing, not to encourage men to dress. I think there is something appealing to cross-dressers about sharing their escapades online. In fact, I think many transvestites/cross-dressers/call us what you will, live their cross-dressing lives online. If this is the case, then what kind of message is it sending to other cross-dressers? I'd love to know what you think, leave a comment below.

Slipping... And Getting Back Up

If you've slipped up, like me, and given in to the cross-dressing urge, don't beat yourself up. There's hope yet. This morning I was reading Jeremiah 3, which turned out to be very appropriate.

2b You have defiled the land
with your prostitution and wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld,
and no spring rains have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen look of a prostitute;
you refuse to blush with shame.
4 Have you not just called to me:
‘My Father, my friend from my youth,
5 will you always be angry?
Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
but you do all the evil you can.”

Of course, we're not necessarily talking about prostitution, I'm talking about cross-dressing generally, but we could argue something like...

Cross-Dressing Bloggers

Look at most cross-dressing blogs and you'll find pictures of the author. Get a blog, post pics of yourself as Tess or Tammy or whatever. That's how it goes. Now that seems pretty harmless right? But why do we as cross-dressers go to other cross-dresser's sites? For advice, yes, but also, we get a rise out of seeing other men in feminine clothing. Kind of how we might feel if we went to a prostitute, or watched a porn star...

I confess that I took pictures of myself in heels last night and wanted to post them here. Thank God that He cleared my head and I didn't post those photos. I really want my blog to encourage guys to man up, to keep to God's Word and the right path.

God's Plan

God, being all knowing and loving, has a plan:

12b “‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry forever.
13 Only acknowledge your guilt—
  you have rebelled against the Lord your God, ...

Acknowledge your guilt! Tell God that you've gone off the path and ask him for his help. Recovery is just around the bend.

Keep your head up and keep fighting the good fight!

I shouldn't even be here...

It's true, I shouldn't be here. I think the Internet is a pretty remarkable place, where someone can share their thoughts and feeling. Or share a false identity. But here I am, amongst the wolves, so to speak.

Let me be clear from the start; this is only a part of me, it's real enough, but you'll only see the part I want to show. I hope you can love me for who I am.

So why blog? Why Faith & Lace, when there is so much else someone could write about? Again, let me lay down the rules in crystal clarity. I'm going to write about God, love, life, faith and crossdressing. I'm not going to pull punches. I'll mention Jesus, and I'll tell you flat out that I believe He is the risen son of God. As for the lace part, I'm a boy who loves woman's clothing, but I don't think that should make me any less of a man. I'm planning to challenge the common ideas both inside and outside of the crossdressing community of what a transvestite is and can be. It could be a rough ride, but if we learn something then it will all have been worth it.
