I would have to say that this is really not a trans subject. This is a paean to the blessings of a good life, and the joy of choosing attainable goals. I only describe my vision of a happy life. Yours may be different. Mine won’t look like this in ten years or maybe it…… Continue reading On being happy

Oh, this is going to just be my terribly misinformed misinformation on the subject. Yet maybe it will provide a laugh or two (or three or more). I could get something right by accident. As usual I’m just trying to help the just getting started crowd. First of all my new girls, bras are not…… Continue reading Bras
Makeup – Mascara
Where did mascara come from? According to Wikipedia’s article it goes back to using kohl in ancient Egypt 4000 years ago and that probably means it was being done well before that. Modern mascara is a tube with a pigment in some carrier and a wand that is put into the tube to pick up…… Continue reading Makeup – Mascara
Makeup – Lippy
That was one of those slang words I learned early that lipstick can be lippy. But there are a million things we can put on our lips from pale to black and wild colors too, blues and purples and greens. Lipsticks, stains, glosses, crayons all sorts of things. You could go mad.

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?
Makeup – Why do we wear it
What, this never crossed your mind? Putting on makeup and removing it, even if you do a minimal job is going to take up about fifteen minutes.
