Do you have any tips besides shaving to look more fememinized, besides shaving? Also, discuss crossdressing in general, such as if it turns you on etc.
Hair removal cream is the way to go. Just be careful where you put it! The ones for sensitive skin with aloe seems to work the best without really burning you. NO, I don't stay hairless but I have done complete removal for theatre and halloween. Gonna be a bitch when it starts growing back in, be prepared!
I can't say that crossdressers actually 'turn me on', but I know a couple whom I really really like because they are just really sweet people and that is what sort of turns me on about them. I don't really have any 'tips', but would say the more you are around girls you find attractive and that you think are sexy, the more you will discover what will help you get to where you want to be. You must be your own self, but we ALL emulate those we admire. Not being a crossdresser myself perhaps I can't really help you much, but I do wish you well in your journey.

I always practice obedience, when it's in my best interest.
You know, I was actually taught how to walk properly in high heels, by a cross dresser?
He said to me one day (in a gravelly, deep, broad Glasgow accent), "Haw, Mazza? Ye walk like a man in they shoes! C'moan, ah'll show ye how tae walk right."
It was kind of funny, I manage fine in heels now, unless they're very high!!
Thank you all for so many responces! If anyone one would care to share some experiences that would be greatly appreciated too!
Less is more. Let that be your mantra.
Show less skin than you think you should,; use less makeup than you think you need; and use the smallest breastforms that will fit your frame (or none at all, if you have a good bra that fits properly); take up less space in your posture and in your movements.
Have your eyebrows professionally done once every six months, to maintain the proper shape for your face and eyes. You can touch up between, but a professional job will give you the best shape to follow. Either grow your own hair, and have it professionally cut by the most expensive cutter you can find, or get a really good wig, and take to be professionally styled.
Remember, bad makeup, eyebrows or hair will get you "clocked" every time, and not just by women. You haven't lived until you've been clocked by a group of noisy teenagers in a mall. Trust me; you don't want to experience that. (In my case, it wasn't a big deal; I was out with a bunch of musicians between performances of Cabaret, and the musicians in that show are SUPPOSED to be "over the top" drag queens. From that experience, though, I could tell it would have been really rugged had I been alone or with one or two friends, and trying to "pass".)
Don't forget to use a good dipilatory on your hands and arms, too. Doesn't matter what color or how fine your natural body hair is; if it is on the backs of your hands, you WILL be spotted.
One last thing. Remember that, in general, women have smaller hands and wrists than men. Do not call attention to yours with a lot of flashy rings or bracelets. And steer clear of little tiny "ladies" watches. Get a Swiss Army or a Rolex (even if it is fake) style. They are round, and tend to be (in the ladies sizes) about 1 inch in diameter. They are "upscale" enough you an wear them on all but the dressiest of occasions, and they will not look too small n your wrist.

Makeup is a good way and I cant say crossdressing turns me on.
