I think a pair of Bajoran earrings would work great with your look.

 

While cool, I'm going to be working with autistic kids. Not a good idea. ?

 

Hugs!

I reverted back to my Gothic roots today and got called adorable the moment I walked into work. 
 

Your work crew is turning out to be so nice and supportive.  BTW, my wife loved your last outfit with the cardigan and said you looked very cute in it and she would totally wear that.  (she didn't see your latest pic)

Quick lunch break shopping at the designer consignment shop across the street resulted in some jewelry and two tops. I plan on wearing one of the top tomorrow and will post a pic but here's my first set of dangling earrings. Hand made glass with silver chains/threader.

Thanks @Bri2020, that’s means a lot. I really like those earrings. I’m currently struggling with trying to wear hoops, mask and telephone headset. It’s slightly amusing but mostly painful.

I stopped with hoops. Masks just kept terrorizing them.  These work well because the "chain" is so long it pins them to my head and they still dangle right and don't get caught by the straps.  I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are.

Elizabeth, I love hoops, but you're right, masks make them painful to wear. I'm a determined girl, I don't care how painful, I will always wear my hoops, masks or not. lol

Out of curiosity, am I in a minority for embracing the bald?  Back in my early 20's I had a lovely multi-coloured Mo-hawk and cried like a baby when a dying accident took my hair away (Of course, a tough man hid that from everyone). But when I first started dressing, I felt really fake. And wearing a wig seemed to make that worse. I love a hat though!

 

 

This is my work look, at home I'm full Punk.

You look terrific.  With that angelic face bald works wonderfully on you.  I'm like Jackie, I have the wrong head for bald, among other things.

Wow! Thanks Sally. Angelic face?  Noone has ever said that about me before lol. Most of the family thinks I look evil haha. Now I just need to get back to the Laser hair removal when everything opens back up again her in the UK :(

Took this photo towards the end of a Zoom call this evening with some local Trans friends. We had all been drinking a bit more than we probably should, and as a consequence it was a great evening. Just waiting for the day when we can resume meeting in person.

Me too. I just try to remember sometimes beauty is pain.

Honestly, so am I. I'm trying to find a hairstyle that works for my facial features, but it needs to be short and feminine for my new job. Short because I'll be dealing with autistic kids and don't need a handle. Feminine because, well, I'm me.

 

Does anybody have a suggestion?

 

Hugs!

@Niamh I am in agreement with Elizabeth and Jackie, I absolutely love your hair. I wish I could pull of red like you can. So jealous!!!

I was actually thinking something along those lines, but I'm nervous. Stupid COVID. I used to be able to try things on in the store, now I have to guess and it's damaging my calm. ?

My new jeans with my old scarf. How is everyone?

I find your jeans very intriguing. Are they ruched at the the thigh or is that just the pattern? Also, what's on your scarf? My dark side thinks it's skulls.

Do you have an old wig you could try cutting up? Could give you an idea of what it would look like. I can't see giving a wig a haircut being any more difficult than at home dentistry.

Not anything that's got the right bits to it. I'm told that's about the right difficulty level for synthetics though. All kinds of things could be in there that you didn't consider. Fortunately they're not super expensive. I'm just concerned about framing my face so I look nice.

 

Hugs!

I have a pixie right now and I like it but I’m still trying to grow it out. I’m planning on getting it highlighted next week. It would be nice to put mine in a ponytail to get it out of my way but that is because of my hard hat.

Talk with a hairstylist about "if I had hair, what would be a great short look for a wig"?

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      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.
