@Bri2021, I often dress just like that. I absolutely love the dragonfly though. I've been looking for a nice dragonfly pendant. My spouse, tragically, doesn't QUITE "get" my style choices.

 

@ElizabethStar, love the sweater. I agree, it would look good kind of off one shoulder. It is what it is though, I'd just be happy it fits.

 

@Niamh... I need your coat. It's cold here and while mine is pretty, it's not warm and I really have to layer up. I'd love some down that looks that nice.

 

I'm still dressed for the gym so I'll spare you the carnage. Grey racerback, lavender tights. Nothing fancy.

 

Hugs!

Looking fabulous ladies!  

Yes Liz, that off shoulder look would be nice although like Jackie says the sweater is nice as is. I'm not brave enough for off shoulder though.  The phone case is amazing.  

Niamh I'm loving everything going on there right down to the buckles on the boots.

Jackie given how much you work out, I don't think a pic of the workout attire would be "carnage" lol

Thank you to everyone on the compliments!

The phone case..... I actually got it awhile before I was out. It had one of those ring things on it but it blocked the image so there was no love lost when it fell off. Not that you can tell in the pic but my phone is rose gold. More things about myself I should have paid better attention to.

Decided to make an effort today. Also it's cold so I bundled up.

Behold my first experiment with full-body selfies and the timer function on my phone camera.

I chose the rose gold Apple watch when I bought one. I'd probably chose a phone like that too, except that I'm still using an iPhone 5 like they had on the Flintstones.

 

@Jackie C.  Super cute and warm! I love the blues with blonde hair look so much!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

Onward to my micro-mini fashion show. 

 

 

 

I see where you're going from a fashion perspective here!  I love the front zip sweater!  Your choices all highlight my insecurities. lol. I hate my tattoos now so don't like exposed my shoulders or back. I'm also not brave enough to bear my tummy yet so you go girl!

Are the jeans new? Cause damn! you look good in skinny jeans.

This is as short a skirt as I'm brave enough to wear and as you can see, I'm covering my gargantuan and tattooed shoulders. lol

I do like you outfit, especially the skirt, but I find myself still shying away from patterns. I think white clothes hate me. The last time I wore white I made it a whole 5 minutes before spilling coffee on it.

I feel that. Every time I wear white I'm in terror I'm going to spill something on it. Doesn't stop me though. I've got a white peasant skirt and a couple pairs of white pants. I look fantastic in them.

 

Hugs!

@Bri2021, I think your shoulders look perfectly feminine in shape and size...maybe it’s the outfit but I don’t see them as oversized at all. Also, I have to say that this new hairstyle makes you look very pretty. It really frames your face nicely.

Aww- I love you right now.... we all have our insecurities though right?

My hairstyle is courtesy of a run in with an old client last night at work who just found out I was trans when she walked in. She's a hair stylist so naturally we talked hair.  Same haircut as before but after I put curling cream in she said to then scrunch it with a dry t-shirt or microfiber cloth. It absorbs some of the cream and the curls set/dry quickly.  If you do it with your hands the curls don't air dry fast enough and weighs things down.

Well, it looks great @Bri2021! Your old client gave you a fabulous new look. I like it!

 

Believe it or not, I use curling cream (given to me as a gift) like a setting cream to hold my loose curls instead of using hairspray and I have to say, it works pretty well.

 

If my hair is dry, I dampen it lightly with warm water from a spray bottle combing it thru evenly....not too wet though. Then drop a dab of curling cream into my palms and spread it in my palms and run my palms and fingers evenly through my hair. Then I comb it in with a fine comb. Then I use a blow dryer on the lowest setting and round brush my curls to style just before it’s fully dry. The loose curls last as long or maybe longer than hairspray without that tacky feel in my hair

 

I will have to try your method to see if I might look better with a few tighter curls. It could work well and may save me some time curling it when I want a different look. Thanks for the tip!

Or use a diffuser and scrunch a section of hair into it and push it up to your scalp and run it for a couple minutes / until it sets, then go to another section. I use a medium heat so I don't burn myself since it staying in one place for a bit.  Not sure how any of this will work if you don't have much natural curl but worth a shot.

Rather simple today. Going up to a friends house for a visit and wedding ceremony practice. New sweater and jeans that I got yesterday. Although I did manage to get a hint of cleavage for the first time.

I call shenanigans. From that picture that's WAY more than a hint. I wish I had that much up top.

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.
