What are you wearing today?

Today I'm just hanging out with nothing much to do that needs to be done.

I picked this outfit to blend in with my friends back there, and look a little electrifying. 

I do play them, mostly rock. You know something? I really don't know what drove my wife crazier, me being

Linda, or me trying to play guitar

Loving that frock Niamh.  Where did it come from?

 

Im in need of a couple of new summer dresses. If we get a summer that is.

Hi MIB,

 

I originally saw these beautiful 1950s style dresses in a local shop and was going to buy one just before Christmas to help a local shop keep going, but when I went in they didn't have the dress in my size, and then we went into lockdown. When I saw the distributors of these dresses were having an online sale I couldn't help myself. The dress I would have paid £60 in the shop was selling for £25. It is a lovely quality satin dress, and just feel so lucky I get to wear these openly. Can't wait to go to a summer party in it. but I do feel very sorry for the local shop. My daughter offered to by me a dress there sometime so hopefully I'll still get them some trade.

I love you dresses and would love to copy some of your style but I don't think it would look nearly as good on me.

that's the beauty or A-Line dresses, they can do wonders for me by covering up my apple shape (big fat belly), but equally can work on a smaller frame. I have 3 or 4 50s  style dresses which flare out from just below the boobs. I also wear The first couple I bought from Amazon and were very inexpensive - and if you are a Prime member they can usually be returned without question after trying them on. In the end this latest dress was the same price as the last Amazon one I got. I also wear a layered petticoat/underskirt under it such as this:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Petticoat-Underskirt-Vintage-Rockabilly-Crinoline/dp/B00YGMGGGA/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Retro+50s+Underskirt&qid=1615654721&sr=8-4

Love the Les Paul! oh, and you look great too. lol.  A former hobby of mine was making guitars. I've made a few LPs and even wound my own humbuckers.  The guitars sound amazing in other people's hands. I can't play worth beans.

I was about to take off what was left of my makeup and get ready for bed. Then I felt unbelievably cute. I'm not wearing anything I haven't showcased before, but I can't understand how happy I am feeling at this moment.

When you feel cute, you just gotta share!  It's amazing how happy we can be when our world is aligned

Well if you can't, I can. Grumble. Grumble. Everybody gets nicer curves than me.

@ElizabethStar I can see the curves also. Very jealous. Elizabeth, I know you've mentioned before but I don't remember when so please forgive me, but how long did you say you have been on HRT? I'm dying for my curves and I know they take longer than the 6 months I've been on HRT. I know being fat doesn't help but knowing how good your doing in the amount of time youv'e been on HRT kinda gives me an idea when I can expect to look like you. Yeah I really am jealous. I want everything right now.. lol

Thanks. I have a bit to go before I see any real difference. Well I do have breasts, but that came because I am really fat and not because of the hormones.

 

I keep telling my endocrinologist that I want progesterone but he says that there is no proof that it helps with building a more feminine figure. He has even said it won't hurt to take it and at first he said that if I wanted to take it he would give it to me, but then acts like he doesn't want to. He just upped my spiro to twice the amount. I've heard that large amounts of spiro and cause problems. Well since he doesn't want to give it to me I've been looking into finding another doctor. If I'm not getting the care I think I need, I'm going to find a doctor that will provide me with what I think I need.

 

I'm thinking about asking to switch to injections, I hear the estrogen works better through injections.

I have brought this up with my endocrinologist but he doesn't seem to want to prescribe it for me.  Funny thing is, my previous clinic gave me progesterone but wouldn't give me E.

I still have some of the meds, and sometimes think about helping myself.  But I don't want to go against my doctor.

I've heard that it would help get me a bit more volume up there.  But, the girls are quite real, and I should be (and really am) satisfied with that.

Yup, definitely.

 

We'll get out curves too @HollyNoel. Just hang in there!

So I can assume that I wasn't the only one who had to immediately compare themselves in the mirror looking for curves? ?

Spent 4+ hours in an online course today, so I didn't dress up much. One of my favourite shirts from my boy days that I'm sure I won't simply get rid of. Sadly, not as curvy as some girls but happy just the same. ?

I've got several of those. A couple are upwards of 20 years old.

Jackie I have a bunch extra if you need some curves.

 

It's probably my dysphoria talking. Strangers read me as a woman... but I'd still like to be more curvy. My weight always goes STRAIGHT to my belly instead of where I want it.

 

Yeah @Drayse, I spend a lot of time looking at myself in the mirror while I'm at the gym. Most days I'm OK (hey, I worked HARD to look as good as I do) but when I see the other girls... I get a little jealous.

 

Hugs!

For real curves you need Hips and sadly we just dint have the pelvis for it.

 

I use to desire to be more curvy. Ok so i have some but amd never going to be Miss body of the century.

 

I would normally consul myself by looking at female atheletes. Runners are practically straight down. Its all in the build you know.

 

Be thankful for what you have.  Its the only path to happiness.

 

On a brighter note I still have more curves than some of my born female freinds. So it is what it is.

I wasn't mocking, girl. I was trying to say that I was looking hard for curves I didn't have. ?

No, I get it. Today was a good day. I could see hints of cleavage when I was doing one-arm rows and it made me euphoria. I'm ALWAYS looking for hints of curves that I don't really have. I mean it's better than it was (I train pretty hard), but genetics is not my friend.

 

Hugs!

Well this not what I'm wearing today. This is me some 15+years ago, wondering, what will I be wearing

15 years from now? Little did I know back then I would pack on 15 pounds to go with what I was wearing

15 years from then. Sigh.

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      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.

      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.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆
