Temple of Dame

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

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

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.

Cross-Contamination

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

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:

 

Crossdressing Scene

Slim and None

(…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

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.

A Good Man is Hard (to Find)

For women, finding the right man can be a hard thing to do in the best of circumstances.  But, for me, the difficulty is off the charts.

Just being trans whittles down the pool by more than 90%, I figure.  But that’s just the beginning.

Crossdressing as a Form of Chauvinism

Many male-to-female crossdressers assert that their crossdressing is the highest form of love of women.  But is it possible that instead it may just be a form of chauvinism or closed-minded thinking?

Mea Culpa

I am not sitting in judgment of others so much as contemplating my own existence here.

Maybe I overthink these things, but it occurs to me that part of the attraction to being female might be related to somewhat rigidly defined ideas of what is feminine behavior and what is masculine.
