How Do I Look?

[Guest Landra]

I tried passing in public for the first time tonight. Lots of people staring at me, but no comments or anything. I'm not sure if the looks were because something is wrong with my appearance, or because people were trying to figure out whether or not my mate and I are a couple. I'm okay with being stared at because I'm in a same sex relationship, not so thrilled with being stared at for other reasons.

I'd like to know if anyone else can see any details that need work, so I'm going to provide some pictures my mate just took for me.

May you find what you seek,

Well, Landra, perhaps a more feminine top than a t-shirt would do for starters. I might suggest a tunic top, as many would be lovely with that skirt. Then, just some makeup and perhaps some accessories, like clip on earrings if yours aren't pierced yet.

The right attitude and confidence can go a long way towards helping you blend in. Good luck with your next outing.

I'll keep the wardrobe suggestion in mind, but those pictures are after makeup, with earrings, a necklace, and a couple of rings. I had my ears pierced some time ago.

Thank you.

May you find what you seek,

Sorry for the double post, but completeness is a must for me; also wearing my quartz bracelet.

You should try bangs on your hair,you would look good

Also think you should try a outfit that shows more the waist

(maybe a tighter shirt),because you look kinda shapeless with this shirt

and maybe some very light natural make up to enhance some of your features

Wish my hair was in that length,mine is a bit shorter than this one(love her videos*-*)

It really all depends on what your style is, and how you want yourself to look. There's no point -- in my opinion, at least -- in going out of your way to look female in ways that make you uncomfortable, so I always feel a little awkward offering advice. However, these are some things I think would help if you wanted to do them:

Wear clothes that are more feminine, and/or make you look curvier. The t-shirt isn't helping you, especially with a skirt. Pink and other pastel shades are usually a good idea, too.

Try shaping your eyebrows a little more. Thin them out.

More obvious make up? I know you said you're wearing some, but you can't really tell. You don't have to go overboard with it; but playing up your eyes or wearing some lip gloss can definately help. Slightly clumped mascara has some pretty amazing feminizing effects.

Mess with the way you style your hair. It looks like you're combing it back. Try parting it in the middle, or off to one side (I don't think it would really matter, just whatever you like best). Generally, women do not comb their hair back unless they're wearing it in a ponytail. Though this would cover up your earrings, letting your hair fall over your ears might help, too.

You have fairly feminine facial features, so you don't have to concentrate on them very much. Just play around with your presentation. Decide which parts of your body are the most feminine -- or, at least, the least masculine. Use them to your advantage; flaunt them, if you will. The male-looking parts, just try to cover them up.

Good luck!

Guys have an eyebrow ridge and higher foreheads than GG's. When i check my look via photos, I look more masculine with my hair back. It accentuates my forehead. Softly cascading or feathered/layered hair is feminine. Pulled back emphasizes jawline. For many of us soft hair around the face de-emphasizes masculine characteristics. Look at Kat's avatar and notice the soft look the hair creates. Mine too I suppose.

I agree the T-shirt looks kind of Goth or unisex. The flowing skirt could be accented with a soft blouse with a peasant look, maybe in very light lavender or white with a little purple for accent. A scoop neck and jewelry will have you ready for a night on the town!

Oh, a little toenail polish makes me feel pretty feminine too

Hope this is the kind of info you were looking for!

Best wishes
