My dear sisters,

Gosh, I am still weeping. You have got to see this movie... "To Wong foo, Thanks for everything".

This movie is about three transvestites that get stranded in a little hick town and how they improved the well being of all those who were around them.

There were some lovely lines in the movie...

Here is just a couple

"Adams apple... When you first came into town I noticed your adams apple... Only a man has an adams apple... well I know you are not a man, you are my lady friend that happens to have an adams apple".

sniff...

Another one...

"I don't see you as a man, and I don't see you as a woman.... I see you as an angel"

sniff.. sniff.. sniff

Thanks, Brenda. I had wanted to watch it for years and then forgot about it. I'll have to rent it for sure.

I enjoyed To Wong Fu and would recommend it to anyone.

This movie is one of the big six (I've seen all), are there any others related to transvestites or cross dressing that are anywhere as popular as these?

To Wong Fu, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

The Birdcage

Tootsie

Mrs. Doubtfire

Some Like it Hot

Interesting that these are mainstream movies with big name actors, and they're all reasonably popular.

(well, yes, Priscilla isn't quite as well known as the others, but any movie starring Hugo Weaving - from Matrix and Lord of the Rings fame - Guy Pearce - from LA Confidential, Time Machine, and some others - and Terrence Stamp - who has been in a ton of movies, Superman II for instance - that rates this film right up there!)

I loved Patrick Swazye in this movie,

he looked and acted so glamorously lady like.

But,this is a movie about drag queens and not being one,I

hold no affinity to this movie.My ex sis inlaw made a point

of telling me that it reminds her of me.Wrong again.Though

cute,it gives the wrong impression to non trans that we are

all nothing but a bunch of drag queens.

Oh my god Brenda! I can't believe you are only just seeing this movie now! Though to be fair it kind of got swept under the rug. I own it and love it especially for the scenes you mention. The "adam's apple" dialogue gets me every time (right up there with Field of Dreams' "Dad... do you wanna have a catch?")

Yea my mom just saw my recent photos on my facebook page and and had my niece post a similar comment " grandma says your eyebrows need to be thinner and longer.. it reminds her of too wong foo.." I called her up and told her that I'm no freaken drag queen. I know she doesn't understand the difference between the Plethora of trans-folk.

Hi Brenda,

I ordered the DVD today, and the girl at the teller said that "Oh, I love that movie, this is the one with Patrick Swayze where three dress as women and do all kind of things!" And her face were smiling shiny of her memories of the movie. I hope it will arrive soon, now very excited to watch it.

Huggs,

Lily

Get those eyebrows done girl! It is another part of our journey when we get ours shaped,or shape

them ourselves,to look as much as we can like a genetic woman.I would go to a styling salon that does waxing to get the inital shape,instead of doing like I did and doing it yourself.Getting your

brows waxed is very reasonable I might add...10 to 20 bucks to take you one more step to looking

beautiful.

Warm Hugs Charlene,

Angie

      My Doctor Don't Listen

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Dump that doctor!   A doctor is a HIRED SERVICE PROFESSIONAL.  No more "holy" than a mechanic, a plumber, or anybody else in the trades.  Just like anybody else you hire, if they have a bad attitude or do crap quality work, get rid of them ASAP.  It amazes me how in the USA we don't have clear prices related to medical services, and how people will put up with crap from a doctor that they wouldn't from anybody else.  And it seems that doctors give bad service at approximately the same rate as other tradespeople.  Good help is hard to find!   Your body is more important than your car or your bathtub. Don't be afraid to assert yourself.

      We all have a hurt inner child, do you ever comfort that child and say it will be protected?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      I can't do that for myself...my partners do that for me. I guess I'm damaged goods.  I think part of me never totally grew up, because I'm not able to do adulting on my own.  There's no "wise parent" part of me because I didn't get here on my own.    I was stuck in my parents' house until GF rescued me.  Before age 26, my parents made all my decisions.  After age 26, I maybe decide some things, but mostly GF or my husband take care of it.  I need my partners around to remember even the basic stuff, like sleeping and eating at reasonable times.  Solo, I'm totally lost.

      Do you have a rich inner life?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Now that I think about it, part of why I enjoy my noisy family so much is because I don't have to have much of an inner life.  I don't really like being left to my own thoughts....all that mess in my brain.  Maybe better to have an active outer life than an inner one?

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      Do you have a rich inner life?

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them.

      Ashley's Life from Start to Present

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.

      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol.
