Shopping for frilly knickers - the neverending tranny quest

Back from my mini-adventure in France and Italy and then house hunting for Mistress Scarlett Thorne, i've got some time to start blogging again and sadly i'm a little behind on requests.

But i'll start with one i received this week because it covers one of the great joys of being a tranny as well as being a great cause of nervousness, especially for newbies - clothes shopping.

As a man i hated shopping (except for music and books) but i've fallen in love with Britain's top leisure pursuit since i embraced my tranny self and there is nothing nicer than going clothes shopping, particularly with Mistress and my tranny friends (@Maid_Felicity especially is a natural born shopper).

The request i received from @dicklet - one of the rather intimidating and awesome Mistress Rouge's slaves - asked me about where it is best to go shopping for frilly knickers, preferably in the High Street. The sinple answer to @dicklet is: "Where do you want to begin?" because there is so much choice out there.

The real issues are how much you want to spend, and whether you want classy, naughty or slutty.

Personally, as followers of mine on Twitter know, i prefer web shopping. It's easier to do and is a cowards way out from evil stares as a man or tranny wanders through the women's underwear department. Let's not even talk about the evil women who guard fitting rooms.

But as far as actual shops go i'm a bit of a Primark slut. It's cheap and does a great range of good quality sexy clothes including underwear. The sadly limited time i have to go shopping means i often go there as first choice.

It may sound like the shopping choice of your mother but a very good place for underwear is Marks and Spencer. I also have a personal liking for La Senza (which is Italian for 'without' suggesting a more minimalist approach).

But most places which sell a good range of women's clothes will have a decent selection of underwear, so it's worth wandering around, especially if you have time. I also really like Next, but more for dresses and it's not that cheap.

You will see from @dicklet's comment that i missed out supermarkets. Generally, they're ok and reasonably priced but i'm never taken much by the selection. Asda is by far the best.

For naughtier looks there is always Ann Summers on most High Streets. For the really naughty stuff head to the sex shops, Soho in London has plenty of places.

One tip for those who live in London and want to feel relaxed tranny shopping is to head straight to Camden Market and look around the shops and market there. Not always the cheapest although not really expensive but there are wonderful clothes (of all types) to be found and is a genuinely relaxed and liberal place. It is rare for a shopkeeper there to bat an eyelid for a man in a suit asking to try on girls clothes. The place is also just fun to be at and i have to say i go as often as i can.

However, i should add that apparently Brick Lane Market in London is even better than Camden. While i haven't been, Mistress Scarlett Thorne, who has impecable taste in these matters, was there the other day and said it completely slaps Camden down.

There are also some decent tranny shops such as Transformation near Euston, which i visited last week and wish i could have more time in although it was a little expensive. Online there is also Westwardbound and Honour, which also both have shops.

But online shopping does bring me to my favourite site of all - ebay. If you are looking for a good deal there is plenty of fun to be had searching it and finding some wonderful clothes. Just make sure you know your correct size.

i can promise you there will be plenty more blogs on shopping. There will be more blogs on other subjects this week too.
