My girlfriend wants me to dress like a girl.?

She wants the full thing to make me look like an actual girl, not just small dress up or drag. Shaving, Makeup, Clothes, and other. I am sort of reluctant to do this but i love her and she said we will have fun. She wants to go shopping for makeup, clothes, etc. We have some money to spend so that is not a problem. If any girls can help us out that would be great. I am about 5'9" and 140 pounds. I have dirty blonde hair almost to my neck. If anyone has any ideas to help out like clothing and makeup ideas (links?) please summit them. If anyone has done this before, can you give an idea of what the experience was like and a picture of the boy afterwards so i know what i'm getting into.
