Let’s start by telling everyone where you are from?
I’m from Macomb, MI. I grew up in Detroit.
When did you first start dressing and how did it come about?
I first started dressing by putting on my sister’s pantyhose when I was 10 and then wore her school uniform skirt with white pantyhose when I was 14. I dressed up completely and went out with a female friend when I was 21 and have been dressing up since then off and on.
How did you come up with your Femme name?
I loved watching “All My Children” soap opera when I was young, my favorite character was “Erica Kane.” So I adopted her name.
How often do you dress?
Not as often as I would like but I sometimes get 3 times a month in, if not it’s 1 or 2 times a month.
Are you married/in a relationship? If yes, are you able to share your female self with your partner?
Yes, I’m married and she loves and is very encouraging of my female self and bi side. My favorite day’s dressing is when we go out for a girls night. Lol.
Tell us what goes into getting the perfect photo?
I would say makeup, outfit, heels, smile, place, position, posing, lighting and if there’s someone special in the picture with you.
What are some of your favorite outfits/fashions?
I love wearing dresses, skirts and jeans with a nice top.
Stockings or pantyhose?
I love wearing both of them. Pantyhose have such a great feel and are sexy when you show a little thigh. Stockings and thigh highs are so elegant and sexy so in that case my answer is both. Lol
Heels or flats?
I’m a heel girl all the way. Love how they accentuate my legs when I’m wearing a dress or skirt and love how they remind me of when I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s when I wear heels with a nice fitting pair of jeans.
Favorite places to go when dressed?
I love to go anywhere I can when I’m dressed up! The mall shopping, restaurants, movies, bars (gay or straight).
Go to accessories for a night out
I like to accessorize with a necklace, ankle bracelet, bracelets and earrings.
Who is/are your female role model(s) and why?
My role model I would say is Susan Lucci because she is such a gorgeous woman from the first time I saw her on TV all the way to the present. I always loved her style and grace on the show.
Tell us some fun facts about yourself. What are your hobbies (either when dressed or not), likes, things you do in your spare time, or anything else you would like to share?
Well I guess I would like to share my profession, I’m a retired police officer and I kept my dressing a secret until now. Lol
Any stories you would like to share about yourself and your journey?
I guess my journey was finding a woman that is accepting of me and who I am, and I’m thankful every day.
If you have social media, what is the best way for others to follow you?
I do have Instagram Erica Gutierrez there.
Before we go, would you like to send a message to your fellow girls out there or a closing statement.
I think I would like to say to the girls, we are all nervous and scared when going out in public whether it’s an accepting place or a straight place. It’s always going to feel that way no matter how many times you go out, have fun with what you’re doing, be safe and enjoy what makes you happy. I do wish I would have transitioned years ago when I had the chance but I didn’t but I’m not upset that I didn’t, I’m thankful that I get to enjoy a little bit at a time.
