Topless

Politics and Opinion / Transgender Life  Posted by / 1 comments

A few of the girls coming to our Las Vegas fete are hell-bent on invading a topless swimming pool at one of the other hotels.

One is tempted to the reaction that this was much ado about nothing… to state it bluntly: take the top off a bikini-wearing crossdresser, and you have a man in a speedo!

Ok, ok, that’s not exactly right, I know.  With wigs and makeup, it would certainly have a different flavor, and those of the girls who are on hormones or who have implants would obviously have a completely different experience.

But, it struck me how, in a way, it is all coming full circle… to go through all these changes only to end up doing something we could have done any time without a second thought as guys, and making a big deal about it.

Here’s to Airport Screeners

Politics and Opinion / Transgender Life  Posted by / 1 comments

Traveling to Las Vegas, I opted out of the scary big machine scanner thingy, and took the pat-down instead.

The guy quickly radioed, “Female assist needed,” and within a few seconds, a female screener appeared.

The airport security authority has clearly bent over backwards to accommodate the most sexually sensitive people out there, from providing a same-sex screener for the pat-down, to instituting procedures requiring them to describe exactly how they are going to touch each part of your body.

Hey Baby, Let’s Go to Vegas!

Out in the World / Transgender Life  Posted by / 1 comments

The annual Sin City Soirée is coming up in just a few days… so exciting!

For those of you who haven’t been with me for that long, I have been going to an annual t-girl week in Las Vegas for a few years now, and find it to be a celebration of all that’s great about being T!

Temple of Dame

Health and Beauty / Transgender Life  Posted by / 0 comments

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!

Oprah’s Choice

Health and Beauty / Modeling / Transgender Life  Posted by / 1 comments

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:
covergirl-and-olay-simply-ageless-color-eye-concealer-215-3Neutrogena 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.

White Matter

Politics and Opinion / Transgender Life  Posted by / 0 comments

Scientists seem to have found differences in what they call “white matter” patterns between men and women, and in a soon-to-be-published study, have shown that transsexuals patterns don’t match their physical gender.

The point of the study seems to be to find the proper candidates for delaying the onset of puberty until the patient can better cope with a sex change operation.

For more details, you can find the complete story at http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20032-transsexual-differences-caught-on-brain-scan.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news

Cross-Contamination

Introspection / Transgender Life  Posted by / 8 comments

As an emerging t-girl, I go through ups and downs… sometimes wondering whether I have gone way too far down the wrong road.

The trouble is finding a pure perspective from which to analyze my true feelings and desires.

She’s Always There

For one thing, every day when I get up, I am greeted in the mirror with a hairless body and face, and long curly locks flowing from my head…

…and I have to ask myself whether I am no longer giving my male self a fair chance to predominate.

Billy Elliot Revisited

Politics and Opinion / Transgender Life  Posted by / 0 comments

Last week’s post was about Billy Elliot, the musical.  I must have just been defrosted after years in cold storage, since I had no idea about the movie.

For those of you equally clueless, here’s a great clip, sure to be near and dear to any crossdresser’s heart:

Slim and None

Sexuality and Fantasy / Transgender Life  Posted by / 4 comments

(…continued from “A Good Man is Hard to Find”…)

In a recent post, I talked about how hard it was to find a good man in pursuit of testing my boundaries as a woman.

More and more, I am starting to feel that, rather than wanting to know how it might feel to be picked up in a bar, I’d much rather find a mate in a different context.

The sad truth is that I am very much starting to think in terms of romance – not love, mind you, but romance.

Breast of All

Health and Beauty / Transgender Life  Posted by / 4 comments

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.
