I mean the right pink that matches her complexion, sure. Maybe with accents. I mean not JUST pink.

 

Ooh, or a deep red... That dress would look good in red...

 

Absolutely keep the belt though, you're rocking that. Perfect accent. Honestly that whole style is super-flattering on you @Elizabeth Star.

 

Hugs!

Feeling really happy about my eye makeup today, after watching tutorials and practicing for two weeks! I still need to get mascara for the eyes, and once I have foundation/concealer/powder that matches my skin, I'll begin practicing that also! Electrolysis is going to be a welcome service as well XD

It's certainly a process but looks like you're getting the eyes. Eyeliner is still my bane. Good choice in color!, Stay away from the whole dark sultry look unless you get FFS. Stay with lighter colors.  One thing that can help your eyes is start working on removing hair from the lower part of your eyebrows toward the midline/nose bridge to make your brows "look" higher and thinner. It lets more light into the eye area /less shadow and  highlights your eye shadow. Or you can have them waxed.  I use a #3 trimmer on my electric clipper to get the length down then this tool to "shaper" them because I just can't do the plucking thing. If you ever do FFS the brow ridge reduction and subsequent brow lift corrects this challenge. Until then this technique can help.  Bushy brows are a newer trend with women but if we try that it looks "heavy" and accentuates our brow ridge :(.   You have gorgeous eyes btw!

And you will be surprised how fast electrolysis will start helping given how dark your hair is.  It's a very long process so prioritize it if you can.

Hey, @Bri2020! Thanks for the hints and tips! I'm actually working with a donated palette at the moment, so I don't have a lot of room to move outside of that just yet. Once I get a job, it's on! I will definitely consider removing some weight from the side of my brows that are closer to my eyelid; I've already been cleaning up the bottom of the arch away from my nose, so it's in my joy to play around with that heavier bit you're talking about.

 

FFS is already in my scope as something I'll want to do a year after starting hormones. My nose and jawline are extremely bold, and that needs to change if I'm hoping to pass for anything but a Greek girl (I'm fluent in the language, but not from there).

 

As for electrolysis, have you any thoughts/knowledge about the at-home units?

 

Hugs for you and thanks for the feedback!

At home units are not effective at all.  I'm not sure where you are in MD but if you happen to be inside the beltway then over the bridge in Alexandria is Alternative Health Associates which does great electro work and has been working with the trans community for 20+ years.

Unfortunately, electro is basically a nice car payment per month to get done around here. I was going once a week for 60 or 90 minutes for 18 months. I had to stop after FFS for a while to give the face time to heal. Kaiser pays for most of it except $30/visit if I use AHA. They're considered in network.

All of that is great to know, @Bri2020. At your suggestion, I've made note of AHA and will consider them highly upon my return to the workforce!

The tag says "Live and Let Live" 💖

@Jamey Thank you for posting this. I found a few outlets that sell the “Live and Let Live” ladies tops. The line is wonderful for us older gals. I love tunics and that brand carries many wonderful choices. I couldn’t find the exact one you were wearing in your pic but I did find several alternative choices that I really like.😁

2nd date with a woman I went hiking with last week. I'm cooking her dinner and then we planned on "couch cuddles" and stream a movie.  I'm cooking a scallop Tajine. I think it's going to go well because I am having a fabulous hair day. lol. Only challenge (or is it) is this dress' propensity to have a wardrobe malfunction.  haha

Thank you everyone. and yes there was a wardrobe malfunction but went unnoticed :(. lol.   However, I think I've hooked her on my cooking. #mad-kitchen-skills-are-sexy

Today I get to see a girlfriend who I haven't seen in about two months since was away on work. Just a really good friendship. She was my first "new friend" after I came out and has been such an amazing part of my life this last 18 months or so.  She's having a brunch today. I don't celebrate Easter but thought an  easter style dress was appropriate for the day. (although the temps dropped :(.  ). 

Now that I look at this the boots aren't going to work so I will figure out something there. lol

Having to wear ball caps as uniform in the military and then on my job turned me against ball caps.  To each their own I guess.

 

Been trying to get back in the habit of walks by the river.  I used to go regularly, but then covid, and also a flood washed out a lot of the trail.  But they're getting tings put back together now.  I was down there this morning.

Yeah I been using that 20 dollar trimmer and it's a little slow but it works. Then one of those brown ink brow pensto fill in the scant patches and accentuate the shape.

I went shopping at a $5 sidewalk sale so be prepared for me taking over this thread for about 2 weeks. lol. I bought 16 different pieces including this tie front top I am wearing out on a date tonight. We're just getting tacos so not getting too dressed up. However, I'm going braless and leaving the top button undone to give that almost peekaboo look. Yea, I'm a tease. lol.  On the other hand, I am going to see Carmen (the opera) at the Kennedy Center next month so one of my friends is lending me this gorgeous dress. Now to find strappy heels in gold.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.

      Post 5 “Coming out to My Significant Other”   My wife and I were high school sweethearts and after 40 plus years of marriage we are still soulmates.  Yes, I consider myself lucky, but we also worked hard to stay sweethearts, and my transgender nature was one of the things that required a lot of hard work to reconcile.    Back when I realized she was the girl I was going to marry, I was still struggling with gender identity, and up to that point I had kept this guarded secret from her.  I wondered how I was going to tell her, and I pondered the timing.  I had already decided she needed to know before I would feel comfortable asking her to marry me.  I was absolutely terrified that when she learned about my gender identity issues, it would scare her off.  Despite my deep concern, I just knew in my heart, I couldn’t keep the truth from her.   In my case, I never thought a relationship with a girl, or marriage to a girl would somehow cure my gender dysphoria.  In fact, the blossoming of our relationship didn’t mute or minimize my gender confusion one bit, so my desire to keep dressing like a girl remained strong.  I actually considered not telling her at all, but I already knew this wasn’t a passing phase, so kicking the proverbial can down the road didn’t make sense to me.    Since I was committed to revealing my secret, I pondered how to initiate the conversation?  Obviously, I would tell her that I enjoyed dressing and looking like a girl, so part of the conversation would be about crossdressing.  The fact that I cross-dressed was the easier part of the conversation and it would make clear to her what I was doing, but the harder part would be explaining why; because, at that time in my life, I had no idea why I was feeling like I was a girl.  Still, I felt a partial explanation was better than none at all and if she could accept the crossdressing part initially, maybe she and I could explore the deeper meaning, together.    Telling my fiancé I was a crossdresser seemed the simplest explanation at the time.  All that remained was the timing and this is when a situation arose that I hoped would be the perfect setup for my big reveal.  She and I were going to a friend’s party, and on the weekend it was to take place, my fiancé’s parents were out of town.  I casually mentioned that I thought it would be a “goof” to show up at the party dressed like a girl.  Much to my joy and surprise, she thought it was a super idea.  In fact, her enthusiasm for the idea was more than I could have hoped for.  With her parents out of town, we had her house to use for my transformation.    At the time, I had my own stash of girl’s clothing, but admitting to this would have revealed too much.  Besides, she had already started planning my wardrobe for me and I was certain her efforts would be much better than anything my feeble stash might result in.  I couldn’t have been more correct and after she dressed me and did my makeup, I looked more like a girl than I ever had before.  In fact, my new appearance was so striking, I could barely contain my joy.  Of course, this was supposed to be a “goof” so, I did my level best to hide the excitement I was feeling inside.  While I was elated being dressed and out in public, I was absolutely terrified at the same time.  Consequently, showing up at the party was a lot more difficult for me than I had imagined.  Ultimately, everyone got a big kick out of me, and that did help to relax me a little.  However, I had vowed to come clean to my fiancé at some point during the evening, so I remained uncomfortably anxious.   Later, and after a few drinks, I had mustered up the courage to reveal my secret to my future wife.  I pulled her aside and had her follow me to a quiet room upstairs.  Alone together, I began trying to explain my feelings, which as I recall revolved mostly around my desire to dress like a girl.  I did tell her my feelings were more complex, but I think she latched onto the fact that I was a guy who enjoyed looking like a girl on occasion.  I was extremely emotional as we talked, but she comforted me and told me it didn’t change her feelings for me.   I have to say having that conversation with my fiancé that night was the best decision I ever made.  It ensured we would face the future together without secrets or deceit. I know it strengthened our relationship. Of course, my wife really didn’t have any idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to support my transgender nature.  It would be like riding a roller coaster, lots of ups and quite a few downs, but the fact that she knew about me before we got married, made the ride a lot smoother than it could have been.   Hugs,   Sally
