Coward?

Coward?

Pride week is upon us in Toronto, there is even a trans march, will I be going. No, too many responsibilities at home. However I am torn, there is clearly a need to educate the public at large but neither do I want to appear on the evening news as as a transgendered activist when everyday I attempt to blend into the gender binary as much as possible.


Right now I am open about being transsexual if someone asks but after surgery I would prefer to go stealth if I can pull it off.

I cannot help feeling a little of the coward. 




Basic Black


I think pull off a good Amanda Lear in the first photo. A good role model, well I certainly hope I can look as good as her at whatever her current age is? Of course she has never admitted to her past....

Sorry have been away from the blog for while. Gearing up for the children getting out of school for summer holidays and I thought I was busy now!

Besides looking for a job and writing car articles I have been biking on a regular basis to keep my weight down, picked up a new "muscle bike" a 1970's CCM Cheetah 3 speed, the Cheetah is the girls version of the boys Mustang by Canada's leading bicycle manufacturer. Photos tomorrow.

Also working on repairing my Buick Electras fender (dent was from original 80 year old owner NOT me). Pulled out the dent using a plunger and straightened pot metal ventiports, now it is the tedious process of body filler and sanding.

Really have to get my 59 Cadillac convertible out but not until I have the Buick is ship shape….that is not supposed to be a joke about her being a boat.

My review of the the film I Am A Woman Now  will be published in an upcoming issue of Frock magazine.


Due to my absence Dear Constant Reader here are three tunes to make it up to you:


Amanda Lear, I Just Wanna Dance:




Sylvie Vartan, Love is Blue:




Ike and Tina, Shake:




Ike's guitar makes this performance.


Hugs,

  1. I love Jackie Wilson's version of Shake, but this is cool too.

  2. "I would prefer to go stealth if I can pull it off" No matter your choice on stealth you are definitely pulling it off - beautiful woman!
