Be the Face of Rago


Sally Stone

Recommended Posts

I buy a lot of my lingerie from Rago, so today, when I got an email from the company asking for photos wearing their products, I thought it would be fun to comply.  Then I wondered how many other transwomen would contribute.  After all, many of tend to use shapewear regularly.  How about it ladies?  Any takers?

That would be awesome but I'm tragically old and bad at makeup. I can't do dolled up. Best I can manage is, "cute older woman you might casually meet at the grocery store."

 

Hugs!

Hi Sally: Sounds fun, but your image may possibly end up where you may not want it. Case in point, I was a family entertainer prior to the Apocalypse, a Magician and Clown, and I entered my images into an innocent contest, and now I'm finding them all over the place, Pinterest, Google Images, etc. If you don't mind your undie photos all over the net, go for it!

Wanda, as intriguing as the thought might be, I'm out for the reason you mention, and because, well, I just wouldn't be competitive as a feminine underwear model.  A girl can dream though, right?

 

I also notice that you and I are practically neighbors.  It's always so nice to meet another Jersey girl.

Agree with above. You wouldn't have control of where those images end up.  However, thanks for making me aware of this company. I so want some of the things they sell now but sizing isn't going to work :(. Basically, I'm the same amount of inches in chest/waist/hips.  Only a variation of 2".  Most of these sizes look like women have 10" difference between waist and hips. My 38" hip size would require a 28" waist squeeze!  Thats 8" of squeeze!   So what I'm learning is I just need a bigger ass to look better. Hahahahaha

Check out (I think that's where I bought it anyway) Enfemme. They're one of the site sponsors and they've got shapewear with a built-in butt. So you can bring your waist in a little and still breathe while still having a backside.

If these folks are paying you the big bucks then perhaps being a model is something you might want to consider.  I somehow doubt that is the case.  I would give this one a pass.  Now a bit of time modeling nice outfits could be fun but shape wear........ probably not.

 

Hugs,

ps. so many Jersey girls!

Bri, I'm pretty uniformly straight through my torso and down to my hips as well, which is exactly why I wear shapeware.  I also pad a little to give myself volume where it doesn't exist naturally.  I've been wearing foundation garment for so long now, they have become a routine part of my wardrobe.  I won't deny the fact that I'd love to have natural curves, but since not, I make my own.

Charlize, I'm so sorry I didn't notice your location before, my sincerest apologies.  Yes, there are a lot of us, and it's so obvious I'm in great company.  Maybe someday, when COVID is no longer a threat, we can all get together for a Jersey Girl celebration

      Seems like a reasonable agreement.  Seattle stays out of Texas, Texas stays out of Seattle.  Weird that the Seattle hospital had a business license in Texas...

      Seems to me the time and cost is already being spent....on lawsuits.  And schools are absolutely flush with cash, at least around here.  They get enough property taxes, they need to learn appropriate use of funds.  Buy a few less computers and a few more bathrooms, and spend less time on athletics and I'd bet you a hamburger that the issue would be solved in a year.   To me, it seems like the whole bathroom thing is like lancing a boil or a cyst.  A sharp initial pain, and done. People are just resistant to doing it.      I think I could solve most of it...but politicians get too much press off of this to want it solved.   1.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private bathrooms 2.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private spaces for changing athletic clothes 3.  Emphasize co-ed rather than gendered sports.  Focus on physical activity, good sportsmanship, and having FUN.  Lifelong enjoyment, not just competition. 4.  Ban for-profit athletic programs at highschool and college levels, and ban betting/gambling related to athletic programs at educational institutions. 5.  Affirm parental rights consistently, rather than treating it like a salad bar.  That means permitting gender-affirming healthcare with parental consent, AND prohibiting schools keeping secrets from parents.  Adopt the "paperwork principle."  If it is on paper, parents 100% have a right to know about it and be informed on paper, including names/pronouns if such are documented.  If it is verbal only, it is informal enough to be overlooked or discussed verbally if needed.

      It would work better, but the issue will always be time and cost, unless a school district is building a new school.  Districts everywhere are short on infrastructure funds, so it's not a realistic solution in most cases.   Carolyn Marie

      I have always thought that the solution to the bathroom question (as well as improved bathroom quality/privacy for everybody) would be individual, gender-neutral, locking bathrooms.  Not this wacky thing we insist on doing with stalls.  It wouldn't take much more space, really.  And it might actually work better.  Ever notice how there's often a line at the door of the women's room, but plenty of free space in the men's?  Yet the men's and women's bathrooms are usually of equal size/capacity?

      I'm going to have to stop staying up so late at night...  Its after midnight, so technically morning.  So, Good Morning, y'all.   I got to go to work with my husband for the last two days.  I'm working on the graphics stuff for his company, so he said that nobody would really mind if I hang out.  I usually stay home, but its kind of nice to be somewhere different for a little while.  I spent part of the day at one of the company's installation sites... beautiful weather, so I worked on my laptop sitting under a tree.  And I learned something new - it is amazing how electrical wires are installed underground.  They're put in PVC tubes, and actually pulled through.  By hand!  Apparently a machine would risk breaking the wires somehow, so I watched a line of men literally playing tug-of-war with hundreds of feet of wire.  It was like something out of an old movie - my husband leading a call/response work chant and everybody pulling in a rhythm.    It does give me a bit of self-doubt, though.  Like, if that's what "real men" are doing... maybe I'm a poor-quality imitation

      Can I just say quickly re the bathroom question, how come no-one ever seems to suggest building more gender-neutral toilets?

      With the onslaught of bills targeting trans kids in the US and the current attempt to radically curtail gender-affirming treatment for kids in the UK I think you could just as easily ask why are things so hard for trans kids. Given the volatile political situation around them, I am pleased to hear there are still services attempting to help them.

      @Mia Marie I agree that it seems most of the focus is on Trans Youth.  And maybe that is in part because of protecting Trans Youth from the political environment, and to give them a chance to transition at an earlier age.  Many of our generation have been cloistered for most of our lives by societal exceptions and I think that has made it more difficult to be Visible ... until Now. So I guess my answer is ... Be Visible and seek out, or even start, support groups in your local area.  Planned Parenthood does provide Gender Affirming Care and therapy in most U.S. regions (and they take Medicare!).

      As a registered CA voter I would be HAPPY to vote against this bill ... BUT as @Carolyn Marie mentioned it has little chance to make the ballot.  Hopefully this will put the Death Knell on the bill.   wrt Parents Rights of notification.  I would agree if there was potential harm to a child, or if the child was involved in potentially harming somebody else.  BUT, that would not be the case in the preponderance of situations.  The decision to Come Out to one's own parents should be up to the individual child only.  If the child does not feel Secure or Safe in their household then it should not be up to the State or School to make that determination. If the child did feel safe and secure they would have probably already come out.  If they haven't ... then the situation seems obvious.  Protect the Child, not the System.

      Great news!  We ARE starting to receive more public support and visibility in opposition to these types of horrendous and wasteful bills.
    • KayC
      Nice to meet you @mattie22 , and Welcome! Your feelings are very normal.  I felt much the same at the beginning of my Journey.  But, in fact it is a 'journey' that is unique to each of our individual lives.  There is not a specific or pre-determined destination.  That's up to you to discover as you find your way. You already received some great Encouragement here.  I hope stay with us, and you will both discover and contribute.  Deeps breaths ... one step at a time
