@JustineMI have that exact headband in my rotation of headbands.

Thanks for being there, and I'm proud that you're wearing your Body-armor.

Do they make it in a feminine version with pleated areas for the growing breasts?

 

Best wishes, and stay safe,

 

Mindy??️‍⚧️?

I have two of them and they are my favorites! Really good at covering a receding hairline lol. Unfortunately they do not make any special armor for women that I know of. (My company probably wouldn’t supply it anyway) 

@Teri Anne it made things quite sensitive, calmed down somewhat over the course of the day but woo this girl needs a break!

working the consignment shop today so once again channeled Liz with the all black look and realized I needed some contrast so the faux leather snakeskin pattern blazer to complete the look

 

Loving the look... I had much the same idea.

Wow, girl!  You rock the Kevlar vest! I can only imagine how uncomfortable that is with growing breasts. To answer Mindy's question--in 24 years in the military and a couple in law enforcement, I've never seen body armor tailored for women. That incudes all tyoes of soft armor (ie: Kevlar and its variants), vests with SAPI plates, hard shell armor or any other combination. I swear, it's made to be and hot, confining and uncomfortable as is possible.

Thank @Marcie Jensenfor the update, as a firefighter I was retired before they started making our EMS personal wear them. I am truly grateful for anyone who wears one as a part of their daily work attire. 
 

@Jackie C. you are looking great, as a thrift store shopper.

 

Hugs

I must be doing something right though! Even with the armor and uniform about half my interactions today were “she” or “ma’am”

Fixin’ to head out to the annual Castle Rock Starlighting holiday event. I bought the skirt and have been trying to find other things to go with it. I walked to the event from my house so, of course, it rained.

love the outfit Erica. Our pups could be cousins. Lol. 
we’re in sync for sure Jackie. 

today it’s receptionist duty. Skinny jeans with a Loft top. It’s resells thin material so the cardigan was necessary. Kinda going brass and copper on the jewelry. And of course, almost knee high ox blood riding boots.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. The all black look appears to be contagious, I love it.  You all look amazing and it gives me a lot of inspiration for when I feel like wearing color.

Yesterday, I was coming out of a Panera Bread restaurant after getting coffee.  As I was walking to the car a man was approaching from the other direction.  As he got within earshot he complimented me on my boots.  He went on to say he liked the colder weather because more women wear boots.

 

Most men either don't acknowledge fashion or they just aren't observant enough to notice.  I don't want to assume, but I wondered immediately if he might be trans himself.  It doesn't really matter, his compliment was flattering just the same.  

 

Here are the boots (and outfit) I was wearing at the time.

I'm going to play the age game today.

The old picture of me was back in 2004, I had only been "OUT" 4 years.

The fresh picture is me today as I type this.

Cool old Electra guitar I have had that model and the Les Paul MPC model. Those models are getting pricey these last few years IF you have all the modules that came with them.

You you look fabulous by the way.

This is what I'm into today. Not a thing, just chillin on a chilly day.

I used to have real long hair, cut it all off, now I'm 1 year and 6 months after my last cut.

I've also had 100 hours of electrolysis, been about 13 years sense my last session.

      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.

      Good morning, everyone!!! Two cups of coffee in the books and I am just feeling so wonderful this morning. Not sure why, but I'm happy and smiling.   Enjoy this beautiful day!!!

      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.

      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.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
