What Happened?

I was visiting the hair goddess yesterday to have my hair restored to the color chosen. As a member of the fair sex I need to do that on a regular basis, yet another female tax. The goddess and I had an interesting conversation about how trans women are perceived. Some trans women struggle to…… Continue reading What Happened?

Male versus Female Sexuality

Or why God must have a wicked sense of humor Most men think foreplay is too long, almost all women know it’s too short. This isn’t news really. You can find it in popular books and headlines. Did you know that trans women get to experience this shift first hand? Yes we do! Men think…… Continue reading Male versus Female Sexuality

Venus at midnight

I see your limbs akimbo Like staggered moonlit beams Your face lit in the starlight there It brings such thoughts to me The moving shadows branches shake Add to the scene You pose upon bended knee Arch your back with ease Comfort your young lover there As she cries fitfully Soon her sobs turn into…… Continue reading Venus at midnight

Blossums

I found my love, I found her there, The scent of roses, In her hair All arrayed, In solar rays, The image burned, To end of days I held my love, I held  her there, The taste of cherries, On her lips Her soft caress, Made me to glow, The softest skin, Her touch made…… Continue reading Blossums

We’ve learned that those bad little spots can be spot treated like laundry so the foundation can just to it’s work of evening things out. We have the blank canvas, what do we do now? There are a…… Continue reading Makeup – are you blushing yet?

What does it mean to be a family?

If you listen to some people a family is a dad and a mom and 2.1 children. I feel back for  poor little .1, never getting invited to play, not even big enough to be thrown out of a bathroom because there’s only like an arm there, but I digress. It’s an Ozzie and Harriet…… Continue reading What does it mean to be a family?

Why Religion Should not Exempt Compliance

Over the years various religious groups have objected to mandates by either the state or federal government on the basis of religious freedom. When couched in those terms it is hard to object. When we hear this we think of a house of worship and the first amendment being breached with rules changing what can…… Continue reading Why Religion Should not Exempt Compliance
