I'm not sure you guys can help me a whole lot because I know there's a lot of MTF's here and I don't know if there's any FTM's, but I have to ask. When I'm doing drag, I want to look my best. Each outfit has to be unique to a song. I need to know a good men's clothing store that isn't going to kill me financially. My problem is I don't even know what magazines carry men's clothes (I know Penny's, but who else?)
Any suggestions would help because ebay takes A LOT of looking and you can only find so many things at Goodwill.

Dream,
Do you know what size approx you are?
Do you need dress clothing or casual clothing - Slacks and button down collar shirts?

Thanks to both of you. I'm a size medium usually in men's up to a large (doing Drag I have a little extra play room sometimes). My chest is 40 before compression. Pants wise, I'm a 32 but can do a 34.
As far as location I'm approximately 45 miles west of Little Rock on I-40. Little Rock isn't that bad of a drive for me so if you know any big name stores there let me know.

I remember a size five ladies, then a size 8, after that I went to men's where 32 was considered small so I felt better about myself lol.
Sparky I'm looking for anything right now, just mainly where to go to get the stuff as I develop new songs and performances. Funny you say retro, one of the songs I was thinking about picking up to perform is "Happy Together" by the Turtles. "Sexyback" Justin Timberlake is another one I'm looking at so leather would be good there. Always gangsta look is great. (Oh shoes I'm a size 5 or 4 in men's (boys), yeah little bitty feet) Walking stick, I think I got mine. Hats I got a costume shop nearby that can get me hats really cheap. Sequins are a definite...
to anwser Debbie too, if it would look awesome under stage lights, then it works. If it's unusual it will work. Thanks so much to everyone for looking for me. I'm just running out of resources around here. I've hit Kohl's, Goodwill, and costume shops at least once a week to see if they got something new I could use.
