Another step forward, I went out the other night with no wig. On Friday when I saw my therapist I wore what I usually wear around the house when I work at home. Jeans, top, bra and a little makeup or jewellery.
I felt great as I thought I looked ok, not fully like a guy in a dress. I was not as happy with my look Saturday night, casual but more makeup and more time spent on my hair. It certainly is long, well past the length I ever had it before. I don't think I will feel confident until it is they length of the wig I usually wear. I also want my hairline moved when I go for FFS. Thanks to "J" for help with styling and make up!
First photo is only mascara and eyeliner second photo in black top is full makeup, foundation etc. I know I do this "pose" all the time…it is my blue steel. Comments good or bad welcome.
I was out for coffee with girlfriend Marissa and I was very calm and surprisingly not self conscious or any more than usual.
When I finally get it long enough brunette or perhaps black in colour.
Lots of rain this weekend, children's activities, house cleaning, finally watched the King's Speech. Did you all catch Chaz Bono on Oprah OWN Network? Sensitively told and I was especially moved by his early childhood memories.
tomorrow Space Nazis...
Check out Victoria De Mare (horror movie actress) new 45 produced by the legendary and very weird Kim Fowley. Couldn't find a You Tube link so listen as part of Mal's garage punk podcast #34 here:

Speaking of childhoods memories, I always wanted a "banana" bike like a Schwinn Stingray but by the time I was old enough to ride a two wheeler these bikes were out of fashion and could not be found for sale at the local hardware store. Yep I still want one!
Hugs,
April
And of course you need a Wham-O wheelie bar:
Oh my goodness, you do not need a wig when you look as good as that without one. Never let anyone tell you that you are anything less than 100% convincing. I can see why you need to go full time very soon as I can't see how you can ever look like a guy anymore.

You look very good indeed without a wig. I love your blue steel pose. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you've definitely arrived! :)
ReplyDeleteHow many '80s kids ended up losing significant amounts of elbow skin after watching that advert?
Sigh. Typo time. I meant '60s kids of course. '80s kids were too busy with Mario Bros.
ReplyDeleteLooking great girl! No need for a wig. However a Whamo wheelie bar is a must have accessory. I had a spyder bike with a faux leopard skin seat. Got laughed at by the boys for having the little fringe strips that came out of the handles.
ReplyDeleteApril, you have a very good look that suits you, and unless it depends on thr right camera angle, it's completely convincing. That's a cunning hairstyle, too.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that puzzles me is how can you possibly manage to heave away with spanners and wrenches on your cars when you posses such a girly build? Or are you one of those thin, wiry types with lots of hidden strength?
