Product Description
Book Description
Studies show that as many as 5% of American men crossdress regularly - but not all of them want to crossdress fully or publicly. Charles Anders, a writer and crossdresser of many years` experience, gives you the skills and confidence you need to crossdress as much - or as little - as you want: embarrassment-free clothes shopping, doing your makeup, making decisions about your head and body hair, and much more. Unlike crossdressing manuals that insist on nothing less than perfect passable femininity, `The Lazy Crossdresser` gives you permission to experiment: `The moment you put on a dab of lipstick or a pair of panties, you`ve stepped outside the magic circle. There are no rules.` Hints, ideas, stories, emotional support, and illustrations to help you become the creature you`ve dreamed of being!
From the Publisher
Charles Anders "has wanted to wear women's clothes for as long as I can remember. I was 12 or thereabouts when I took advantage of my parents' absence to try on a bunch of my mom's bras, slips, and panties. I took several photographs of myself in her ridiculously ill-fitting underwear, then burned the film before I could develop it." He has been crossdressing publicly for several years and has written crossdressing and transgender articles and erotica for the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Scarlet Letters, Clean Sheets and more.

Good but not for everyone,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lazy Crossdresser (Paperback)
This was a good book to help me out of the closet and onto my college campus (and even into some of my classes) Since reading and actively using Anders advice many of my friends have commented on how "realistic" I am starting to look! It is unfortunately though not for those whose ultimate goal is passing as it is simply for the "casual cross dresser". Anders suggests wearing clothes casually and even says he rarely uses breast forms. I tried his laid back method integrating small aspects of femininity into my daily wardrobe, a foxy t-shirt here, a pair of stretch flare denim jeans there, but it wasn't enough and my friends found it confusing (I have since decided that I can not live with out my breast forms). This casual method works for some but not for all, so if that's who you are this is a great book, if passing your only goal I would not necessarily suggest it.

Entertaining Practical Guide to Expressing Feminine Self,
By Frater V "The Truth is Absolutely Not Absolut... (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lazy Crossdresser (Paperback)
I found this book to be a very entertaining, carefree and useful guide to Expressing the Feminine Self. Most guys refuse to admit the have a "feminine side," so I respect the author for "coming out" with this truly fun and practical guide for those who feel the need or desire to express their feminine nature--in public, as well as in private.The author explains the intricacies and dilemmas of "crossing" and gives numerous tips for self-confidence, self-improvement, beauty tips, and covers issues relating to stubble; beard growth, et al. These tips could be used by non-cross-dressers, as well. Very few people actually like stubble (about 1% of the people I have met)--especially facial stubble, so the tips in this book can be used even by "macho" guys, to improve their "Cuddle Time." For those with an open mind, this book is very interesting, entertaining and provides numerous website references (copyright 2002, so it is up-to-date) and ideas to try. If you are looking for a book about the psychological implications of this subject, look elsewhere--this author understands that it is "normal" to experiment with gender & sexuality, so there is no need to defend his stance on the issues. The author seems to have a very carefree "take me as I am" point of view. It is very refreshing to read a book about the subject, which doesn't concentrate on Society's negative (uneducated) prejudice against "Alternative" lifestyles.

Good, but not good enough,
By tommy_tads "tommy_tads" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lazy Crossdresser (Paperback)
Not a bad book for those interested in the work ethic of cross-dressers. My own preference would be to find out what makes a hard-working person tick: ambition? greed? peer pressure? Those who really like this book may also enjoy "Torpid Transvestism"
