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

Tajine! Moroccan food! So Good! enjoy your date and i hope you have a wardrobe malfunction!!!

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.

First day out of the house as Alice. Just wandering around town in the sunshine, but I feel like I have crossed another line.

Feeling very pleased with myself😊

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.

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.
