According to a local paper, many of the attendees at the Rockabilly Festival enjoy the freedom the group gives them to express their individuality in musical and fashion terms. They do not follow what is considered mainstream or popular and go their own way.
People at these events wear vintage fashions, or modern spins on those, along with two-tone shoes or colorful brogues. The men slick their hair back while the women have their hair intricately styled into 40s dos, often in jet black, platinum blond or bright red. Many are heavily tattooed.
The newspaper quoted one person saying how she loved coming to this event because, at least for one weekend a year, she can dress as she likes and not feel like an outcast.

Tgirls go through a lot to make themselves look feminine, but I have discovered one little trick that takes only a few seconds, is completely painless, costs nothing and makes an appreciable difference.
Fortunes have been made on stupider ideas (bagel slicer anyone?) but I’m giving this one away!

Now that we are women to one degree or another, I suppose that we must join the line of Oprah sycophants.
To help out in this womanly pursuit, herewith are Oprah’s makeup O-wards, “Flawless Skin” category:
Concealer:
Neutrogena SkinClearing Blemish Concealer ($10; drugstores) CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Concealer ($11; drugstores), both of which have salicylic acid, which fights pimples and is a chemical exfoliant. The Covergirl product contains Olay’s Regenerist serum which softens lines and masks dark circles.
Bronzer: Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Bronzing Powder ($35;Macys.com) They were particularly enamored with the color: golden, not muddy, without a speck of glitter.

We CDs are often preoccupied with the boobs we don’t have, and I think that’s a shame.
I, for one, have dropped the whole thing for the most part. I have noticed that many supermodels have precious little in the breast department, and clothes fit best on them.
My own GF, who is well-endowed to say the least, is jealous of how clothes hang on me.
So, don’t fret.

One way to feminize your face is to give the illusion of high cheekbones – a surprisingly easy thing to do.
The trick here, like with many other techniques, is about creating the illusion of shadows where you want valleys and highlights where you want peaks.

On the occasion of the new year, I have been going through past photos and seeing how I have changed over time.
Here’s one from a few years back, when my hair was much shorter than it is now.
So tell me, do you prefer me with long hair, short hair or somewhere in between?

Getting out of the house without being seen, or at least without outing myself is becoming a major problem in my life these days, as I start to go out regularly during the day.
Today, I was wearing a high-waisted short teal blue denim skirt with sexy white stockings, a blousy white top and black riveted belt. The look was completed with my lovely Calvin Klein high-heeled boots.
The short, but exposed walk to my car in that outfit was bound to catch someone’s eye – after all, that’s part of the outfit’s appeal, isn’t it?

Under the general heading of “Pot Calling Kettle” or “Let She Who is Without Sin…” I am putting my high-heeled foot down after seeing the abomination that is called “The Girlfriend Look.”
H&M, of which I am a loyal and enthusiastic customer, issued one of their fashion magazines a month or so ago containing the page pictured at right.
I would have thought that just seeing the photos would have been enough for most everyone to agree that this was an idea whose time will never come…
But, I was wrong, sadly.
After all, the folks at H&M did actually issue it, and I guess fashion designers will have their little laugh and women will have their revenge…
Just don’t come crying to me when you can’t find a masculine man when you want one.

I spent the most wonderful weekend in Las Vegas at a rockabilly festival, dancing, listening to rock’n’roll legends, watching jive dance contests, admiring all the hipsters in their fabulous outfits and retro hairdos, going to a tiki pool party, seeing those incredible old cars, and buying swanky clothes…
…just having a blast with great, fun people and phenomenal music!
My girlfriend really wanted to share this experience with me as a boy – and it made a lot of sense to me too – we could dance together and get into the vibe of a bygone time, and meet all these people without having the TG thing in the way.

I recently commented on another site regarding some of the issues involved in posting photos online, in my case first disguised by a wig and makeup, and then later without.
To re-quote the relevant parts of my comments:
Read More»Posting my first photos was as much liberating as it was scary, but I was wearing a wig and a lot of makeup, and I carefully disguised any background that might be familiar. Trouble was, there was also a part of me that looked at those photos and didn’t see myself either. In fact, I would scour the photos and eliminate those where I looked too much like myself.
This didn’t really sit well with the gurl inside, though.
Over time – not that long, actually – I have improved my physical appearance so that I look more feminine and don’t need a disguise. So, I dropped the wig, cut back on the makeup and can now feel that the photos have more truth in them, if you know what I mean.
