Time to clear out stuff?
Traditionally, spring cleaning is a time to go through the whole house cleaning things and tossing out junk. Yes, I’m aware that we are into summer as I write this so I’m a bit behind the calendar, but bear with me while I muse about how this relates to our femme sides.
It’s the woman’s role
How is that for a loaded headline? Is spring cleaning something that only women do? Perhaps coercing their men to help? Or at least, getting them to do the heavy lifting? So many politically incorrect lines we could go down on the subject. But that’s not at all what I’m talking about.
I’ll be clear; I don’t see spring cleaning as being something that is exclusive to the female population. It applies to all the guys out there as well. But as CDs, we have a task here, too. It’s a good time to clear out the cobwebs in the back of our closets. I’m sure you have things that forced behind your current favorites. Or, behind your newest acquisitions.
How to clean
I’ll call it cleaning just to maintain the theme. But it’s more about just making sure things are clean and fresh. Take out each item and carefully look it over. This exercise is about critically deciding if the item has outlived its usefulness. Warning, it can be depressing to make those kind of decisions. You might also pull some things out to send to the dry cleaners while you are at it.
Where do you draw the line between a pair of nice comfy skinny jeans and a pair that have been worn a bit too much? Same with your lingerie drawer. Is that bra only comfortable because it’s all stretched out of shape? Is it time to replace some of that underwear? How about that camisole you bought to go with a certain outfit – the one that you no longer have. Yes, it’s time to be ruthless. And don’t call me “Ruth.”
It’s not a “purge”
“Purge” has gotten such a bad connotation in the community. Basically it’s the term we used to describe that fit of insanity where we think we can “cure” ourselves of the desire to crossdress and we throw out all our femme stuff. That’s not what we are doing for spring cleaning, though. We are going through our femme life and keeping it up to date.
You could also have fun doing this if you wear a maid uniform. That would insure you get to keep your girl card for another year!
I’ll be back
I hope your closet has gotten a good cleaning this spring. Mine has. I welcome comments and suggestions here on Stana’s page or by email at Jenn6nov at-sign gmail dot com.
