On Saturday I put on a dress and coat and ran around London fields in Hackney with another 150 blokes all of whom wore female clothing.

The cause was Prostate Cancer Research - and to donate and/or look at my photo gallery please click on the link in my signature.


I'm pleased to say I was complemented on my look by quite a few ladies....though I was underdressed compared to many.

Me in action (in yellow coat):

    Don't worry - I'm very secure in my masculinity. Even in a dress and lacey tights. 8)

    I thought of stockings but they look so terribly complicated to put on. Mind you the tights chafed in places that women don;t have to worry about...that and the high heels - i can hardly walk today.
