Here's a Q & A I did last year for the delightful Tabby Jones' Blog, you can read more of her observant and amusing posts HERE.

Interview No: 1 Frances.

Hi all, I have started to interview various well-known Tgirls, my first is the lovely, sexy and all round stunning Frances.

1. OK, my readers often ask me how to select a femme name, can I ask how you selected yours?

Easy, my Farther was named Francis as was my Grandfather, and so it followed that I was too; I've since changed it by deed poll to Frances with an 'E' although if I'm honest, I wasn't too keen on the name as a teenager, it was rather like being called 'A Boy Named Sue.'

2. What is your most fave casual outfit?

Nothing beats an old pair of jeans, a nice Liberty print shirt and a pair of smart leather moccasins.

3. Are you Bi, do you think most Tgirls are; when did you discover your need to dress and be femme?

Yes, I swing both ways, all the more for me then! Most Tgirls would claim to be hetero, but I'm sure given the chance, most would try something different, even if it were just to see what it was all about. I was a late developer in the dressing department, having never dressed in my life, but I hit an age and thought, 'I'm bored, what else is out there,' obviously, it seems I got a little carried away with my curiosity.

4. What do you think makes a women, what is the main mistake Tgirls make?

Femininity and sensitivity make for a woman. If you mean mistake as in not passing, well some things simply can't be changed, if you're 6ft tall you're 6ft tall and that's that, so embrace it. If you're talking about being under the radar, don't wear stiletto's, fishnets, leather mini skirts and a tight blouse; sure, women wear these items, but never ever all at once, it just screams 'I'm a Trannie.'

5. Do you swallow…giggle?

No, I enjoy oral, but find one goes around gagging all day if swallowed.

6. Describe your perfect date

Generous, courteous, clean and polite, suffice to say a Gentleman, do they still exist?

7. What are your fantasies; what is your most secret hidden dream the one that makes you blush / giggle?

As an Escort, I continue to realise both my own and many of my clients fantasies.

8. How well do you think you know the femme you?

I live with her everyday, pretty well I'd say.

9. If you were dressing to impress what under-wear would you select, describe in detail.

La Perla or Rigby & Pellar lingerie and suspender belt, they have to be metal claps, all eight of them.

10. What annoys you?

Cheap and dishonest people, I've known a few.

11. What makes you laugh?

Myself, I'm very good at laughing at myself.

12. What makes you cry?

The B&W film Scrooge (1951).

13. What are you ashamed of?

Life is far too short to be going around feeling ashamed, if you're ashamed of something, stop doing it, change it and move on.

14. What advice would you give a young Tgirl / Crossdresser?

Less is more.

15. What are you the most proud of?

That I've made it thus far.
