Sissy Maid Etiquette

Sissy Maid Etiquette

The specific responsibilities of a Sissy Maid are obviously determined by her Mistress or Master, but we can certainly cover a few of the basics. Keep in mind that these tips are merely rudimentary. To be truly "in service" to someone entails understanding them completely. Observe and learn!

Wardrobe

* A proper Sissy Maid is always impeccably groomed, with hair elegantly swept away from the face and fastened stylishly.

* You should look fresh and alert, but never draw too much attention to yourself. Makeup should be kept to a minimum. Don't forget to apply a subtle shade of lipstick as it provides a fine, finished look.

* An attractive uniform with starched cotton collar and cuffs gives an impression of professionalism. Ruffles and frills not only make you feel more feminine, they are decorative and pleasing to the eye.

* Hose are a must, as bare legs can be far too prurient! It is best to inquire whether your Mistress or Master prefers light or dark hose, as the overall effects of the two are quite dissimilar.

* Shoes should be comfortable enough for you to function, yet pleasing to the eye, with a two-inch heel at the very least. Unfortunately, while comfortable shoes may make YOUR tasks easier, they are MOST unsightly! Leave those white orthopedics for nurses on maternity wards and invest in a lovely pair of pumps. Patent leather has a brilliant shine that will reflect candlelight as well as your refined taste. Make sure to practice walking in them before you serve in them, because an upset pot of tea will only result in an upset Mistress! As you gain experience, wearing higher heels will be admirable. Anyone who can serve in stilettos is a wonderful find!

* The final touch could be a flirty pair of panties, for why have a Sissy Maid if you can't enjoy a bit of leering? Modest ruffles, clean white cotton or seductive black lace will communicate your desires. Of course, there's no telling if your Master will take them into account!

* Additional details such as seamed, lace, fishnet or opaque hose, garters, corset, maid caps or hair ribbons can be added as you become more comfortable in your role or as your Mistress's tastes dictate.

Duties

* The house must be kept spotless, without one speck of dust. Why else would you be carrying that feather duster, you silly girl!

* Providing for your Mistress or Master's every need should be of the utmost importance to you. Picking up groceries, dry cleaning and forgotten sundries should go without saying. Any tasks your Master or Mistress finds unpleasant will no doubt fall to you, so learn to smile while you change that kitty litter!

* To win their affection in addition to their respect, you would be well advised to furnish the occasional surprise: a bouquet of your Mistress's favorite flowers or a perfectly chilled martini for your Master on a perceived evening of stress. One must possess a certain amount of female intuition to recognize the times when these gestures will be most appreciated. Hopefully they will never go unrewarded!

* When your Master comes home, there should be slippers immediately made available. Your Mistress will always be thrilled by a freshly-drawn bath. And everyone simply adores being adored! Don't fawn or make a fool of yourself, but do let them know that their wish is your command.

* One of the most anticipated tasks for a Sissy Maid is waiting on one's Mistress or Master's friends. When they welcome company, your talents are being showcased. Be sure to be on your best behavior!

* Be prepared to be punished for disobedience or mistakes. When admonished, keep your emotions in check. Regardless of how humiliating your punishment may be, remember that it is part of your training and will only serve to make you a more skilled and valued servant.

* Be equally prepared to be punished by your Master or Mistress's friends, because as you are merely property, they may enjoy seeing you humiliated by others.

* You may also be rewarded by a friend or associate when your Master or Mistress is pleased. Never forget that you are a subservient whose entire being is available for the whims of your keepers.

* Be sure to thank whoever is administering your punishment or reward. A spanking or caning should be as enthusiastically received as a compliment or pat on the head.

Manners

* The first thing a proper Sissy Maid should learn is how to curtsy. A brief bob, with an accompanying nod of the head, should suffice. And add a polite "Yes, ma'am," or "Right away, sir," after receiving instructions, to communicate that you've heard and understood.

* When serving your Mistress or Master's friends, it is your time to shine and show what a wonderfully trained servant you are. Answer the door with a smile and immediately offer to take the guest's wrap. Inquire about desired beverages and how the guest would like them served. "Can I get you a coffee, ma'am?" is an obvious question, so be sure to follow it with "How would you like it?"

* If you are assisting with a dinner party, offer the guest a cocktail, let them know when the meal will be served or show them to the table - whichever is appropriate. Consider yourself a tour guide to a foreign land and help the guest negotiate unfamiliar territory, even if they've visited the home many times before. The more comfortable they feel, the better. Even more importantly, the less everyone has to think - about where to sit or refills to request - the more they will be able to enjoy their visit.

* Always monitor your Mistress or Master's emotions. Are you pleasing them? Alter your behavior accordingly on a moment-by-moment basis. Learn to anticipate! Train yourself to be a mind reader!

* You would be well served to read every book of etiquette you can get your hands on! One can never be too refined! And these long-respected tomes contain all the necessary knowledge to politely and properly serve.

Expressing our need

When we think of communications, many thoughts may come tomind.
Conversing on the telephone, chatting through computer
modems, speaking to friends and family, or even our own gender
leaders educating a group of budding psychologists, all these are
different forms of communication. As individuals experiencing
various levels of gender issues and self awareness, we often find
ourselves becoming more in touch with our feelings and needs.
Equally important to discovering new levels of self, is sharing the
discoveries we have made, so that we may enrich our experiences and
fulfill our newly identified needs.

"Coming Out" can be a powerful experience, often serving as a catalyst in revealing our special secret self, while at the same time, improving our overall communication skills. Sharing our gender and sexuality issues with people close to our hearts can be intimidating. In our pre-established relationships--i.e., family, partners and close friends, we often become comfortable in speaking about daily needs and occurrences. Often, overlooking communication as an important tool which cements our relationships together, at times assuming that those individuals "know what our needs may be." In revealing important issues, like coming-out, we deal with the focus being directly aimed at us. We may draw on the fear of "I may be rejected," or "I feel a lot of shame surrounding this issue." Hence, we perceive "Coming-Out", like other communication challenges, as risky business. In revealing deeply important issues, such as coming out, one guideline, therapist Roger Peo endorses is the fundamental question, "Will this improve my relationship with this person." This is an excellent measure in determining necessity versus risk.

Revealing our needs has always been a risky business. There are, however, a number of tools we can use in minimizing risk, which are illustrated in the following.

PREPARE FOR COMMUNICATING

Much like going to a business meeting, it can be helpful to prepare a list of items you wish to discuss. Also, talking with a knowledgeable friend or counselor can be helpful. Dan, our imaginary gender person, is about to tell his wife, Karen, about his gender issues. Dan first spoke with his therapist about his feelings, then strategized a communications plan, and finally, he defined a level of confidentiality to request from Karen.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Make an appointment . . . was the first thing Dan did by asking Karen whether she would feel comfortable talking personally over dinner.

VALIDATING THE RELATIONSHIP

Validating the relationship . . . is an important door opener. It reaffirms that the relationship and its positive strengths exist. Dan stated, "Karen, I want you to know I've drawn a great deal of happiness from our eight years of marriage. What I have to share is very personal and I feel I can trust sharing it with you." Dan also sought a confidentiality agreement at this time.

RELIEVE STRESS BY REVEALING

Just about now, our imaginary character is starting to sweat a little . . . Like many great communicators, he found that by telling Karen he was feeling a little nervous, he had put Karen in an empathetic mood. Feeling comfortable, he now can move on.

SHARE THE FACTS

"Karen, I'm a crossdresser and even have thought of having a sex change." There, Dan did it! He then continued to reveal the facts he knew about himself, gender issues . . . all the time respectfully answering Karen's questions. He also, referred questions he didn't know to a future discussion.

AFFIRMING THE OTHER PERSON'S BELIEFS AND FEELINGS

Affirming the other person's beliefs and feelings . . . can be our most empowering step. It is at this point, that we may not "hear what we want." Dan followed this by listening while Karen expressed reservations about his crossdressing around their children. He told Karen he would talk to his therapist to see if crossdressing around children was harmful.

SEALING THE COMMUNICATION

Sealing the communication . . . Like any good communication, it's important to have a proper closing. Karen had stated, "I'm not very happy about this, and there is a lot I don't understand, although I am willing to learn more without passing judgement." In closing Dan thanked Karen for being there for him, while restating, that he valued his relationship with her, and then gave her a warm hug.

Communicating individual needs, like gender and sexuality issues, won't always be this easy. However, you have just reviewed some powerful tools that you may include in your communications repertoire. With practice, as you increase your communication skills, you will find an increased sense of empowerment and satisfaction. Do remember, after sharing something as stressful as "coming-out", you may be well served by spending time alone, positively reflecting on your personal success . . . and if you wish, rewarding yourself in a special way.

Sissy Dolls

I am not sure where these are being sold but it is interesting to find out that they are coming up with sissy dolls now. Perhaps they are realizing that they are more sissies and boys who like to play with dolls than they ever imagined. What else do you think would be nice for a sissy to have or a sissy who is comfortable to come out of closet a much earlier age.

The Secret To Great Make Up

Are you a Goddess, Slut, or a Lady? Well this is how you gauge your make up application. A Lady is tasteful and never overdone. She coordinates her colours properly and always appears classy. She usually knows if she's a spring, summer, autumn, or winter. These are the main colour groups based on skin, hair and eye colour tones, no matter how fair, or dark and lovely you are. Cool colours lean towards blues, blue violets and greens. Warm colours lean towards reds, yellows, peaches, pinks and red violets.
Always blend, blend, blend to have really great make-up. Never use too many colours of eye shadow, unless your going for the wanton slut look. Never share any make-up as bacteria and infections can be spread easily, especially to the eyes. Share your eyeliner and mascara with the wrong queen and you'll get a wicked case of conjunctivitis, better known as pink eye! Try dermablend base make up for craggy bits and 5 o'clock shadow and/or Estee Lauder Double Wear or Clarins base foundation guaranteed to last 24 hrs.
and for peats sake.....

Bras, Corsets And Waste Clinchers

To get proper cleavage one must either tape, or wear a bra that's two sizes too small. The cup size should always be the same size as the boob you want. Your boobs can never be too big. Big boobs are powerful assets, especially when attracting men.
Taping can be irritating and can prove a nightmare if your allergic to adhesive. Tape will burn your flesh if you have allergies to plastic products. Taping is done by most beauty queens at pageants. When taping, one must bend forward and push everything up and to the center. If you have a lot of body fat, or if you're weight challenged, you can achieve great looking cleavage. Try the double bra trick. Use the smaller bra on the inside and stuff the larger, outer bra.
Corsets are great, but tricky. Most women have wider hips, so most drag queen corsets must be tailored tighter at the waist. It helps if you have the breast forms sewed inside the cup of the corset. The foam mastectomy replacement pads are the best for such a corset. The expensive silicone forms are more useful as bra fill. One can use heavy duty water balloons in bras for a more bouncy feel, but your taking a chance that one might explode and leave you not only feeling flat, but quite wet and embarrassed!
Waste cinchers do give you a wasp waist and can really pull a svelte look together. Remember drag is illusion, just as sexiness is illusion. If it weren't for peroxide, silicone, collagen, enamel and synthetic hair, we wouldn't have a Hollywood !

Panty Hose and Lingerie Secrets

Before wearing lingerie you must first shave your body, unless you want to be a complete gender freak. Waxing is better but when it starts to grow out in a few days.......ouch unless you are blessed with little body hair. Married transvestites who are closeted can buy sheer body stockings that camouflage body hair. If this is your quandary, then by all means, buy the body stocking. You can purchase these at most dance wear stores, where you can find the most bitchin' looking fetish lingerie. Two or more pairs of pantyhose will also make your legs look great.
Always wear sheer to the waist pantyhose when wearing short skirts and hot pants. This will give you an even look all the way up to your crotch. Keep in mind that most pantyhose have a demarcated area, resembling a pair of shorts. The sheerness breaks at the upper thigh. Such hose will look horrible if your dress is too short.
Always tuck your penis properly. You have to shove your testes back up inside your body, then place your penis between your legs, with its tip facing your anus. You need not tape your penis there, you can firmly secure it with a tight dance belt. Be sure it's not too tight around your waist, or you'll have additional agony. If you're intending to father a child anytime soon, then forget tucking and wear looser fitting dresses, or pants. Tucking will lower your sperm count, since body heat affects the production of sperm.
If you're a prowling pre-op remember, most men are really drawn to you because you're a girl with something extra! Still, tucking is necessary when you¹re wearing tight gowns, dresses, pants, or skirts. He likes to be surprised!
Apply pantyhose by carefully unfolding each leg. Begin with one foot at a time, then the next. Pull each leg up by gradually unfolding the hose over each shin, then knee, up to your thighs. Alternate between legs so that your hose are not uneven, this also keeps them from running.
Spray your freshly applied pantyhose with cheap hair spray, they'll be a lot more run proof. Avoid placing sharp objects, purses, jewelry, etc. against your hose as these things can easily snag and run them. Clear nail polish can save a minor snag from becoming a horrendous run. Carry it in your bag, just a little dab will do you! Nothing is worse than being all ready to go out and having your pantyhose run. Running your nylons makes you look like a cheap street tramp. If you're feeling particularly whorish, then by all means, wear runny nylons.
Used nylons make great sexy bondage ropes. Tying your man's hands behind his back with nylons, or tying him spread-eagle to your bed posts with nylons can be very exciting. Nylons are flimsy and not that strong, they just give the illusion of restraint and this is very hot for most powerful stud muffins who need to shed some of that daily control.

How does a true Lady exit a car ?

There is such a thing called a charm school exit. Always exit by placing both legs out of the car door with your ankles together; place both feet firmly on the ground, and stand up gracefully. Never exit one leg at a time, only a tramp or a cow makes a sloppy exit. A lady is never vulgar!

Sexy Secrets

Are you a transvestite, a drag queen, a transgendered woman, or a genetic woman looking for some sexy secrets about sexual illusion? .....This is for you.

Passing as a woman when you are a genetic male is probably one of the hardest things you will ever encounter. Guys don't sit like ladies they don't walk like ladies and they certainly don't talk like ladies. Forget the male accent, the content of guys conversations is entirely blokish. So what can you do ? - I have been at many tranny bars and seen a TV asking for a pint of bitter and a large portion of scampi in the basket.... the proverbial "thanks mate" resounding to the barman. I suppose that if you just want to have some fun, do something different and go out with your friends dressed as the opposite sex then all that would be fine. If you happen to be ex services elite special forces then the odd comment or worse from passers by will not concern you too much. A lady like punch in the throat is more the order of the day. Acting in the role of a woman takes time, practice and a great deal of confidence.

Confidence comes with knowing that you look pretty much ok and that at least you pass in general terms. Somebody in the medical profession once told me that one person in a hundred would make you as being from the opposite gender - I never actually believed that as I thought at first "Oh my God everybody is looking at me".The truth is that out in the real World people have not got the time to take much notice and if they did make you then chances are they would be more scared of you. Coming out in public is a real eye opener. I remember going into restuarants and heads turning and the obvious thought is "Ouch I'm made". Sorry, very wrong ! - and it took a few months for me to realise that if you are tall, have great legs most women would kill for and have long blonde hair you are going to get looked at. Indeed these days if I don't get looked at in restaurants and bars I get very pissed off - Hell it all cost a great deal of money so people should look. Ok so I am a TS (sorry I mean woman) but the same principles apply to any tranny tripping the light fantastic for the for the first time.


Rule 1...dress your age
if you are 40 or 50 years old (or even over 30) don't dress in a miniskirt. You are not a spice girl and you are inviting trouble. Go to a department store and ask the ladies wear dept to advise on what a middle aged woman would wear. Make an excuse....it's for your wife etc etc. who cares these days. Dressing outside your age will get you into more problems than anything else.
Rule 2...don't overdo the make up
in your enthusiasm to cover the beard shadow an inch thick of foundation is actually worse. Believe it or not women have hair too...on their arms, upper lip and all sorts of places.
Rule 3...study women
(the right sort of course !) and how they act and don't overdo the I'm a little girl bit in your demeanour. Women are not like that unless they are 16 years old or an experienced Joan Collins.
Rule 4...don't speak from your chest
try talking from the top of your mouth. eg your head. Do not try a falsetto or you will end up squeaking and that is worse. Guys speak from the chest - Women speak from the mouth.
Rule 5...don't smoke in the street and don't order pints of beer
unless you are at a tranny club and you really have to have a pint.
Rule 6....get proper advice on wigs, clothes, hair and make up
what you think looks great probably doesn't. Hair colour and make up have to blend with your natural colour.
Rule 7....think about how you will react to guys
this is not so funny as it seems - as a woman you are inviting the attention of the now new opposite sex (men) and if you handle things wrong then it's probably trouble. Remember it is usually straight hetro guys that will be interested and if you are convincing and plan on winding a guy up sexually then be warned. If it comes to a sexual encounter and you want to go through with it you had better be honest first. A guy's ego can be damaged to find out that he just asked what he may later perceive as another guy to bed with him and NEVER EVER have unprotected sex so carry a condom if you think things may end up that way. Learning how to act as a woman takes time and experience. Don't rush it. Handle things right and you will discover that the power of sex is something you will learn to use to your advantage.
Rule 8....when you sit down always cross your legs
if you sit with your legs apart you will attract attention in public. Guys sit with their legs apart, women always sit with legs crossed.
Rule 9....using the ladies loo
well clearly your not going to use the gents ! - that would be suicide. Make sure you leave the seat down ! - If you have a skirt or dress on even questionable females have the right to use female public toilets these days. If you have jeans or pants on you may be ousted or it may raise comment. You don't need that.
Rule 10....smile
not so funny actually - when you meet someone in public a smile does a great deal to make them feel at ease (even if they make you) - remember personality carries the day far more than looks. Once they realise you don't bite or have obvious hang ups then most things will follow on more smoothly.
