Be Yourself and Be Happy


Over the last 2 days, I’ve felt SO pretty!

On most days, I embrace my femininity, but am still aware of my male side. I guess most transgenders feel this way. 

Over the past 2 days, however, there wasn't one moment where I didn't feel like 100% woman. It felt liberating, so good, so right, and so calming.

The funny thing is… I was working! If you read the earlier posts, you already realized that means no heels, no make-up (I didn’t even shave), yet I felt more feminine and happy than I've felt in a very long time.

Sometimes… knowing and truly embracing your inner feminine side can be more fulfilling than looking feminine on the outside.

Finding a woman, who wants a man, who wants to be a woman?


I realized long ago that, although I’m happier when in a relationship with another woman, I’m also made miserable by the fact that I’m unable to be my true self.

That being said, I’d rather be alone than lonely in love… so I chose to be alone until I find someone that will accept me for who I truly am and not what they want me to be.

Although I’m glad I made that decision, it kind of sucks when you have a great day and want to share it with someone…  but there’s no one there.

Or you could use a shoulder to cry on… but…

How do you find a woman, who wants a man, who wants to be a woman?

Winter... The Silver Lining

Although I'm not a big winter fan... I do love winter fashions!

The biggest "silver linings" I've found to the cold weather include going for long walks in the snow, wearing  ANYTHING you want under your "societable acceptable clothes", fuzzy socks, soft sweaters, and the comfy feeling that get when you're wearing a cute sweater dress.

Trans-gender and Transsexual Online Shopping

Over the years, I have collected hundreds of outfits. I love searching for great bargains online and there's nothing better than coming home and receiving a "present" in your mailbox!

It's very frustrating, however, if you receive something that's not what you ordered, the wrong size, poor quality or doesn't ever show up. These are my recommendations for the best and worst places to shop online:
