Well, it goes without saying that I wasn't born CRISSY. In fact, Crissy came about when I was, oh, about seven years old and I found I had this endless fascination for the contents of my mother's wardrobe and for the wonderful powders, lipsticks, eye shadows, mascaras, etc on her dressing table! I must have looked a sight! Dressed in clothing at least 10 times too big for me and wearing mom's make-up and to all intents and purposes, looking like a pocket sized clown! But you want to know something? Even though the girlie things were not mine, I was HAPPY!
 
IN THE FAIRLY RECENT PAST
There are memories too painful to relate here in any detail. It was a time when school life was utterly miserable; when family intolerance became unbearable; and abusive relationships and the like seemed to be an acceptable way to live ... but I have taken strength from these and I think have grown into a better person, not because of the memories, but because of how I dealt with them at the time. This was a time of great uncertainty: was Crissy to be or was she to be supressed? These were times when Crissy was tearfully purged, and the closet and dressing table denied that Crissy had ever existed. These were times when sometimes I wanted to just turn my back on it all, and run away, as far as I could! But, thankfully, I didn't. However, for quite a long period my life as Crissy was desolate ... desperately desolate ... *Sigh*
 
   As things stand right now life is going along quite well! Living with my sister, Stella, my life as Crissy has been made considerably easier by her support. I work after normal hours as Crissy in Stella?s salon, learning ladies hairdressing so that I can one day transition at work, in the salon, in an atmosphere perhaps a little more accepting than would otherwise be the case.
 Constellations Hair Creations is THE place to visit if you would like to see me modelling different hairstyles. ~~~~
I have a set plan to achieve my transitioning goals and so far I am pretty much on track. I just want to get on with my life, to be the best person I can, whether it is as Crissy or whoever, and simply to be a good citizen. Right now, I think I can say with some certainty I am as HAPPY as I was when I was that seven year old playing dress-up ..... at least these days when I look in my closet and on my dressing table, the lovely things I see there are MINE, and that's the way it will stay!
 
I am presently working on a biographical page containing a LOT more detail ...o, watch this space!
