Painted Nails

Daughter and I drove 6 hours to my families house for Christmas.  B had to work.  Of course my family doesn't know about Candi.  It was a good trip.

It was funny because one conversation my family had was about someone my sister knows that shaves his chest and how they didn't understand that.  My daughter didn't say anything (she's a good girl).  I just had to keep a straight face. Also the whole time we were out there I had to hide my red painted toe-nails.  That was a chore.  Now no-one noticed my clear shiny  fingernails.  The toes would have definitely stood out though.



We got back tonight driving through the blizzard of North Texas.  I shaved my chest tonight.  Not sure why I didn't do it before leaving, but I didn't. 

It's good to be home and see my sweetheart.  Love her so much.

Bras

My wife once told me that under-wire bras are the worst.  She said this as she pulled the wire out of her bras.  After wearing under-wire bras, I whole-heartedly agree. :o)

Hugs,

Monday Night

For the past 3 months I have been letting my hair grow out.  Ultimately it was for Locks of Love.  They make wigs for kids that have cancer and lost their hair.   It had to be 10 inches long before they would take it.  It was probably 4-5 inches yesterday.  Unfortunately, I could not style it and it was not nice.  So B agreed I should cut it.  I wanted to get it long and leave it for a while, but it just was not to be.  I got it cut yesterday.

The more I dress, the more I really like to dress. It gives me a comforting feeling when I am dressed.  Monday night was so much fun.  There were probably 10 girls there.  Many I had met before and a few I hadn't.  We talked and laughed.  We decided we could start  a basketball team :o).  And I found out I have the biggest feet of all of them :o(.  Pain in the ass to find shoes

Monday night is karaoke.  And being almost Christmas, I sang Santa Baby first. 


One of my favorite bands in college was Guns n Roses.  I sang Sweet Child of Mine.



I did an OK job on GNR.  That made me not so happy.  I thought I would do a better job.  At least I do a good job in the shower.

The last song I did was George Michael I Want Your Sex.  Loved that song in high school.




You know.  I did a good job on this one.  Maybe I will stick with George Michael in the future.

I was going to try and make New Years Eve but I don't think I will be there.  Definitely plan to make January 5 in Denton for the Chix concert.   It's going to be fun.

Born This Way

I had an interesting conversation with a coworker the other day.  There is a girl at work going through transition.  I'm not sure where she is at in her transition, but she is "all girl".  The best body money can buy.

The conversation I had with my coworker was about her (in general) but anyone who transitions really.  She said that the girl was not a girl.  So I asked "does what is between your legs determine your gender."  She said yes at first and the conversation changed to other stuff.  One time my uncle many years ago said it was your X and Y chromosomes that determine your gender.  Well, I think they are both wrong.

TLC has a show called Strange Sex and did a segment on Gender Issues

This girl was born female (complete vagina and everything), but has male chromosomes.  Is she female??  Yes.  Obviously there is not a simple definition to go by on gender.  Take that into consideration when looking at other people.

Sex Appeal

Crossdressers (OK just me.  I don't know about everyone other crossdresser in the world) want to look like a woman and be sexy.  They want to walk and talk like a woman.  They want to get their makeup right and eyebrows shaped like a woman.  They want to PASS.

I was surfing through Netflix and found the Discovery Channel's Science of Sex Appeal.  It appealed to me.  I watched through a lot of it.  Although I disagreed with some of it (regarding evolution mostly) and the fact they really said there are a lot of factors that go into sex appeal, it was a good show.

Now this is how it can relate to crossdressing.  Our desire is to look "more feminine".  This show addressed that.  It talks about he rounded chin, the raised eyebrows, the higher cheekbones, the walk.  All this goes into "feminine".  It was quick to point out that the male reviewers at one point were more attracted to a body shape (super thin waist with wide hips) that is not found in nature.  However, we will create that with a nice corset

Something B and I used to say when looking at houses was "a little paint and a porch and that would be  a nice house."  After watching (most of) that show, make-up will do wonders for you.  Check out Kevin Aucion's book Making Faces ; I learned a lot and loved everything he talked about.

Check out the Discovery Channel show.  I know you will be Very Sexy in the near future.

I Have The Best Wife

Yesterday our daughter was out most of the day.  On Monday nights a group of girls get together for karaoke on Dallas.  Lots of fun to just get out.  However, we had plans to go to a Christmas party with B's 2nd job. 

B ended up having to work after all we we could not go to the party.  Daughter was out with a friend.  I thought about going to karaoke.  Then I realized that I could go on the cheap but it would still be a $$ outlay.  I decided to stay home.

B said "You should dress since it's just us here."  She was working in the office.  I put my makeup on, a black skirt and the blue button up shirt looked real good.  After B finished working we laid on the couch and watched The Invention of Lying. 

Yes my wife is the best.

Hair Hair and More Hair

Just like any girl, crossdressers want virtually no hair from the nose down.  We don't want facial hair.  We don't want chest hair (or for me chest and belly hair).  We don't want back hair for sure.  We will shave our under arms.  We don't want leg hair.  And as for pubic hair....well cut short but not shaved.

 First things first, don't use Nair hair remover on your chest.  If it gets on your nipples, they will hurt for a few days.  Next, I think hair grows fastest from top of my head to slowest at the bottom of my legs.  My face needs to be shaven at least every other day.  My chest at least once a week.  Legs a week and half.  Maybe it's because of how far from my heart.  Maybe not. 

I know some girls that wax their chest.  I really don't like pain so that ain't going to happen.  Shaving my legs is quick and easy.  Shaving my chest isn't necessarily quick, but not hard. 

Of course laser or electrolysis is an option.  But it's a costly option so not going to happen anytime soon. 

So right now I will continue to shave.  You should do the same.
