What is your favorite thing?

Tonight I gave myself a manicure and a pedicure and I painted my toenails a gorgeous pink. I am so enthralled with my pretty new feet I can’t tell you ;o) Ha ha... what fun!

What is your “favorite” thing... what gets you giddy?

Painted toes and fingers go a long way for me but at this point i find that when there is a special event that allows me to go to the salon for a mani-pedi and then get super dolled up for a night out i'm in a state of semi bliss. During much of my life i simply can't justify getting all gussied up so when i can it is wonderful.

Hugs,

Charlize

Having nails done is an important thing to me I go to a salon once a month for mine to have them gelled and I decorate them myself My toes are painted all the time as well. I don't know if it gets me giddy but I would sure miss it if it was taken away Lately, I enjoy wearing a jean jacket I recently purchased It has a sort of flare out at the bottom and helps make me look like I have more on my hips.

Best

Most recently I fell in love with wearing skirts. Maybe that doesn't count here. :blush:

Lacquered nails certainly gets me giddy as well. Whether on fingers or on toes.

Huggs, :wub:

Anything goes in this thread, whether it’s new shoes, skirts, nylons whatever makes you feel extra special, the sky’s the limit ;-)

Going and having a professional manicure/pedicure sounds wonderful!

Jewelry is another thing that makes me feel special.

I recently purchased a black lace chemise, it fits perfectly plus it was on sale so I bought two. I feel so sexy in it.

Speaking of jackets Faith, there’s a very cool company, the Pyramid Collection, and they have the neatest jackets, very artsy and feminine. And they have a good range of sizes. I have my eye on a beautiful pink lace nightie I might have to take the plunge and buy a couple of items.

I don't think any one thing or action rises to the "giddy level." Dressing fulfills a need rather than sending me to the realm of giddiness. I suppose when it comes to dressing I am often seriously serious about it rather than euphoric.

I keep trying to think of a way of lightening the tone of this message so it's more in tune with those that proceeded it, but for the life of me I can't think how to make that transition. Sheesh...

My favorite thing... currently it is affirmation. Like the girl helping her dad do some garden cleanup yelling at me, "Hey lady!", as I ride my bicycle by. Or the pharmacy tech asking me, "Did you need some help, mamm?". Or the dude at the bus stop as I was riding my bicycle by, "Aight then baby girl! Ride that thang!" Or the... well you get the point. I am absolutely loving this. Being recognized as a woman, after all these years of thinking this could never be. It really does make me so happy that I cry if I pause to think of it for too long.

In my defense, you didn't specify exactly what kind of favorite thing you were asking about. And this really is mine right now.

Hey Kati, maybe giddy is the wrong word; I was trying to keep the tone of the thread light, fun and even a little whimsical. :)

I have to say I am still very, very new to dressing up and my dressing up is quite plain and simple right now. So seeing my toenails pink really made me feel good.

Sitting up in bed reading last night I looked at my feet and thought… my feet are pretty! I have never thought that about my feet before, I always thought of them as my weakest body part I guess.

CarlaMichelle, I love that you shared that!

I'm going to jump in and reply on this thread again.

Stevie, I got my jean jacket at a value village so it's not really out of a catalog. :) But it's a nice one. Can't believe someone let it go.

I have to echo what CarlaMichelle said. I get my biggest 'feel good' moments now when I'm in public and am getting called maam, or she or her. It feels so good I'm almost on a cloud. People holding the door for you, things like that. I spend so much time as me now that the clothes themselves don't do lots except that I like to dress well, and spend a lot of time shopping for the things I like.

Nylons and a cute black dress for me. I have always yearned to paint my toe nails but have never done so apart from one incident in my childhood.

Link to comment

Faith and CarlaMichelle, I am no where near your advanced level but I can certainly understand the feeling you get from that complement! Thank you so much for sharing that.

“Feel good” moment… that’s the term I should have used instead of giddy :) ha ha

I love Value Village; I have one three blocks from my house!

Roberta-Belinda, seriously, if you get a chance try the nail polish on your toes. Even when it’s in your socks and in your shoes you know it’s there and it’s wonderful.


Big hugs to you all!

Nails are definitely right up there. Wearing my heels too, but my fav is to just wear my wig and bra..makes me feel more like a woman on the outside then anything else.

I am loking forward to my first pair of heels, I know exactly what I want too, black with thin straps and maybe a few rhinestones. :wub:

I However, I think that might have to wait for a while yet :(

I'm a lot like a child, and have no shame about it. I am gothic and love gothic things. The one person I consider a friend thinks a lot like I do and understands me. My family are flatlined humor people, but I just get around that and ignore it.

I recall getting the last dress I bought, a cheap one with flared sleeves like Morticia....not long. I jeweled it and added lace and turned it into something really cool. I ran across a velvet jacket in colonial style and after saying no to my self, that it was too pricey and not practical, I found it looked great on me once I paid for it. Same thing with the boots and chokers, not practical, a bit no no, and the boots are great. They called them witch boots, but all I can say is the witches looked nice. So I guess for me it's clothes and jewelry. I'm not much on feet, except with heels or boots. I do my nails in different colors, and right now they are half silver and half blue.

MaryGennaeAngelina, the dress you fixed up sound awesome! I'm glad you are treating yourself to these nice things.

My favourite is not any particular thing.

I just like to get together and wear a complete new outfit. I like being very girly at times and a pretty skirt and tights with a nice top makes me feel wonderful

I totally agree with you, Tracy I love a nice top and skirt and tights. I have a green blouse which I bought last year in Peacock's once again (surprise surprise) and I love it, looks fab with a black skirt and nude tights.

Ashley, your shoes are absolutely gorgeous! I love open toes, but like Joann, I probably should not wear them either but I do love my pink toenails! :)

Tracy & Belinda, I envy your wardrobes… hopefully someday I too will have a complete outfit.

Big hugs, :wub:

      Had a customer bring in her Subie for struts. I ordered fronts. later yesterday, the boss called me into the shop. the proceeds to say I ordered the wrong ones, the fronts instead of rears. Then today I got looking I did order the right ones the first time. All the paper work that I have says front even the last work order said fronts. I told the other boss. So, Have I gotten a sorry from the boss. Ha, ha, not yet. I am doubting I will ever get one.   Oh, well. life goes on.   Kymmie

      While I agree with a lot of the campaign personally, I don't think a government-mandated reduction in childbirth is really necessary. As a young person, I hardly know anyone who wants to be a parent in the future. I think a lot of people will either be waiting a while or not having kids at all, meaning that the number of kids being born will probably decrease. Overcrowding's also mostly an urban issue -- plenty of places in rural America have plenty of space for both people and growing food.    Of course, everyone sees things differently, so I won't necessarily say you're wrong. I just think my generation is a lot less inclined to the family mindset than some that came before us.

      To me, it sounds like a solution searching for a problem.  I believe in the Russian perspective, that oil is abiotic and likely under every part of the Earth's surface.  There's plenty.  "Peak oil" and "climate" are excuses for government control.   As for roads, we use asphalt because tar and bitumen are a byproduct of fuel production, not the other way around.  Asphalt is not a great material, really.  It can also be recycled somewhat and used again.  Notice how road crews grind down existing asphalt into powder? Concrete is a better material for roads.  But in areas like where I live, very little of our roads are paved.  Gravel is a luxury, and a lot of roads are mud.  Same in many "developing" nations.  Pavement is better for transport, but its not like we would die without it.  Lack of pavement might actually be a good thing, as people might stay home more and food might be grown locally instead of relying on transportation.  It would stop this wacky idea of growing everything in California.     I believe the big crisis we face is globalism and government control.  Proposing some scheme to control our families? That's just more of the same.  Even if folks managed to get enough votes (or rig enough elections) to get the power to do that, it won't be as VP or president of the USA in its current 50-state form.

      The months of June has already been planned out for me with only minimal time for sleep between the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles and the various communities around me that are in the service area of the LGBTQ  Center I was on the Board of Directors of that are having Pride Events, both LGBTQ Pride and Trans Pride stand alone events.

      Very cool. I've been clumsily navigating the world of makeup so this may help. Some of the tutorials on YouTube are so advanced, they may as well be speaking Klingon :P

      I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to.  They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts.  They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that.  I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors.  I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that.   I really haven't watched TV since the 80's.  I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets.  From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself.  After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering.  I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries.   The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it?  There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up.  If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs?  We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world.  We took material from those environments.  What do we do now?  How long can it last?

      I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out.  Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. 
    • Ivy
      I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves.     And what about threats of violence?  Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom?  Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence?  I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you."   Or spreading lies?  (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth.   Censoring books in schools?  That was fine until the bible was included.  (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place.  You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited?  Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn?

      I have noticed when anyone speaks against their though process they don't like it no matter what sided. Republicans are quick to defend Trump when he's not professional and treats his employees like crap. One employee didn't get paid at all and then he had the nerve to say that he would sue the worker. He already has a model as his wife and still goes after other women. Biden gets lost quicker than a 2nd Lieutenant gets lost at land navigation. Not to mention his open border policy which is flooding the country and can't even take care of the American citizens that we have now. I could go on about both sides. I personally don't get mad at anything someone says to me. I know it's not true so I'm over it before it even starts. You have to have thick skin.

      That's really cool, actually, and I don't even wear make-up :o

      That sounds like something I would do, lol, thanks <3   A lot of my classes have a lot of smaller, busy-work types of assignments, so it really added up O~O

      If it makes you feel better, I had a 41 2 weeks before I graduated highschool, and ended up getting honours because my teacher was awesome and let me turn in everything I was missing in one night. I believe in you!

      For some people, diversity of thought is okay as long as you agree with them.  I have noticed this on both sides.  Yesterday I got cussed out on FB for advocating the rule of law, which I thought an innocuous thing to advocate, because the danger a certain alleged totalitarian poses to our country.  So we should throw out the law to protect the law in the view of this person.  For that I was greeted with a long stream of obscenity.  The cussing poster claims to be Republican, which is supposed to be all MAGA and right wing and all and law and order.  Strange.   I don't think I have been cussed out by someone on the left.  I have been insulted in knowledge and intelligence and worship of Trump (which is false) but not directly cussed out.  And they get bent out of shape badly if you disagree with them, typically. Come to think of it, I have been.  Disagreeing with someone apparently is the worst thing you can do to them, invalidating their identity or something.   There is REAL diversity on this forum, and for the most part we get along.  Even if I were not dealing with trans stuff, it would be attractive that way.
