And here's another test.....
Shannon December 25th, 2008 10:32 pm MSTThis time using Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20), MacOSX 10.4.11.
The site runs far more sluggishly under Firefox, compared to Safari.
Will this work?

Where have you been Dianne (not Jimmy Dean)
Dianne Elizabeth October 29th, 2008 2:20 pm MDTOk, so perhaps like many of you, it's such a rush when we 1st get here. Like that 1st pair of "perfect" pumps that lift you up in so many ways. We get breathless (for some it's the altitude, I mean really 12" heels...?) For others, we just try to do to much to quickly.
Writing has always been a means for me to catch my breath. Take a moment and reflect. I know I'm more at peace now. More comfortable in my skin so to speak. Are there times I think more about further changes? Yes, but then I realize that I have changed. The physicality of being trans is still a huge part of my psyche (word?, yes but not in the way you may think) In Roman mythology, Psyche was a beautiful young woman who was loved by Cupid and ultimately made immortal by Jupiter. Cupid visited her secretly at night, forbidding her ever to look at him. When she did, he abandoned her, but they were eventually reunited.
So, what does it mean. It means, I love being Dianne physically of course. I like looking at her(me)...still confused by that, but more and more I just like feeling like her (being a feminine soul). I can and am Dianne, even when I'm not dressed.
I hope to be around more and able to expand my contact with those who have reached out to me already. I'm sorry if it seems one minute I'm there, then I'm not. I promise to put more of me into our future meetings, whether there by letter or by IM (I'm going to figure that out I promise that too!)
For now, enough already. Hugs and Kisses to all my sisters! Hope you'll accept my mea culpa and give me a hug back!
Love, Dianne

Note to my friends!
Dianne Elizabeth May 10th, 2008 10:07 am MDTHope I can post something really quick here! Tried a few times to let everyone know how much their friendship and words of encouragement have meant to me. You ladies are the best thing to happen to me (next to my love of my life missus & sons). I hope to continue to improve my appearance and deportment. Bless you all for shining a light in our world and showing me how truly beautiful it can be.
Luv you all to bits!!

My latest attempts on improving my femininity
Dianne Elizabeth May 4th, 2008 4:54 pm MDTWhen I opened this site I spoke of giving Dianne the opportunity I had always refused to give her in the past. For some it\'s strange to speak in the 3rd person (I\'m finding it a bit annoying myself). So, from now on it\'s Dianne you\'ll hear expressing herself.
I (Dianne) have been so impressed and envious of the lovely ladies I\'ve seen on URNA and those who have been gracious enough to reach out to me. Unknowingly, they\'ve also challenged me to work harder on my image. (That\'s pretty hard to do for a \"type A perfectionist\") but I\'ve always said that in whatever I did, it was to be my best effort.
In that spirit I researched and practiced in order to hopefully present an image closer to what I\'ve idealized my feminine self to be.
This past weekend was my report card to myself. I hope that some of the images will be in my next gallery. I\'ve decided that my last pictures were \"too dark\" (perhaps winter had something to do with it) so I hope that I\'ve added some colour and life into my most recent pictures.
I hope you like them!

First Day out
Melanie Bowman March 31st, 2008 9:20 pm MDTHi girls
Just wanted to let you know that Melanie was able to get out in the day for the first time. The day started when I left my place at 5 am and headed up to Sacramento to be with my friend CC. It took me about 2 hours to get up there at around 7 am and I stoped to have breckfast. after thart I peoceded to go to the motel 6 where I was to meet CC I got lost on the way there but after some time fianly noticed the motel after driving by it several times arrivng just before CC did. when we both got there we were in guy mode but then got a room wherte we peoceeded to get in to girl mode. CC was a great help getting me ready She gave me some makeup tips so that I would look more like Melanie. After that we proceeded to head out we took some picturers in the parking lot before we headed out. we ent to a mall that CC likes to go to and we met Melissa who is a real Girl and was willing to give a few pointers and tuchups with my make up. She was great she did hot care that I was a CD she just wanred to help me look my best. We also me anouther of CC friends she was great also. Then we proceeded to go out in to the Mall and take some Pictures. After that we got back in the car and heded out to a park close by we were going to takle some more pictures but we did not see any good places to take them that did not require going down a steep hill which I did not think was safe.So I decided that I had had enough for onre day being that it was my first time out in the day. I wopuld just like to say it was great being with CC for few Hours I hope to do it again some time soon.
Huggs Melanie

Trying to update my journal 30may08
Dianne Elizabeth March 20th, 2008 7:59 pm MDTI'm sorry if this seems strange, but I've been unable to update my journal since March, not sure why. But, I wanted to tell everyone who's interested how much your comments have inspired me. Words escape me (and that's not often), I want to be able to share and encourage others in the journey we're on.
Love, Dianne (this post 30may08 ~8:00pm)

So Happy to be Baaack!!!!
Dianne Elizabeth March 19th, 2008 9:11 pm MDTHi to all my wonderful friends. Here I am back from the Sunny South
, with stories to tell. For some they might seem mundane, but for me there were a number of "break thru's" that hold much promise for the future. Annie and I had a number of great talks while walking the beaches, while she remained cautious, she (Annie) was more open to talking about Dianne's needs.
Love to all, Di'

I'mmm baaack!!!!!!!!!!
Dianne Elizabeth March 19th, 2008 9:03 pm MDTWhat a wonderful time in the sunny south!
Talk about de-stressing! My wife and I had some great conversations while we walked those fantastic beaches in South Carolina! While she still doesn't know "Dianne" (by choice), we discussed some of her (Dianne's) needs and expressed a more relaxed approach towards understanding.
Then a wonder of wonders occured...(background) we had gone down with another couple (our very best friends). The husband Tom and I were University roommates). We our mates at the same university halloween party in 1978 and we're married in the same year of 1978, they in August, we in November. Over the past 30 years most of our summers have been spent in their company.
The event: his wife Dorothy was shopping for a new pair of black pumps. We went into a Nine West Store in Myrtle Beach and she ended up buying a pair that I have exactly the same style of at home (I'm wearing them in most of my pictures here). Course she doesn't know that. But while there, she tried to convince my wife to purchase a pair. Annie hasn't worn heels for a number of years because of her feet, but she was teased into a pair by Dorothy.
That's when it happened, Annie said," Ok you (meaning me) find a pair that I'll wear!" So, I went to look, asked her if I should find a 7 1/2, she said, "No, I wear an 8 now (that's my size still). I chose a pair of black satin pumps 4" heel and a lovely cross hatched pattern in the satin, softly rounded pointed toe (closed in), she tried them and liked them. Dorothy loved them too! So, Annie bought the shoes. I told her she'd look great in them and she said to me "So will you!" Later she said I would end up with them since she wouldn't be wearing them past the week in Myrtle Beach...I'd call it something of a breakthru!
In the end, she wore the shoes 2x's that week (looked great, but told me her feet just couldn't handle it). While we were at the store I also helped Dorothy buy a lovely 2nd pair, these were a black patent T style sandal with a 4" heel. Dorothy loves heels too! (But I bet I own more then she does).
Love to all,
Di'

On my Birthday
Dianne Elizabeth March 3rd, 2008 10:04 pm MSTThank you to everyone for your Bday wishes! I can't believe it's only been a week since I listed, so many wonderful friends have made me feel so welcome. I decided for my birthday to put together my first gallery. In encompasses my first 3 forays into this new adventure. I certainly recognize I'm not a great photographer or model. But, it's a start. Or as someone famous once said,"It's only the beginning...!

Prettiest of the Pretty

My 1st Hello
Dianne Elizabeth February 24th, 2008 10:28 pm MSTIt is so amazing how in one breath one can be both exhilerated & scared to death. Perhaps that's how one feels when they jump out of an airplane (I've often thought that I have to do that one day). Next to that, I imagine stepping out into this world and saying "Hi" is the next most bravest thing I could do. I so admire the rest of you that are here and have been so brave. I've lived my life blocking this part of me, but now I want to live my life embracing her. I know you'll all understand when I say how much I've both loved and hated "her" when you know it's just "me". No more! Dianne deserves a life as much because of what she has given me; the understanding and empathy for my blessed partner, as is her need to have an outlet to express "herself". I promise in future not to talk as much in the 3rd person. Dianne is me, and I am Dianne. (But it's taken a 1/2 century to be able to say those words). I look so forward to giving her the opportunity to express herself and to bring "both" phases of who I am into harmony. Promise, I'm not always so deep. Just let's say I've jumped fully into the pond (with both feet)! and look forward to everything life intends to expose me to here on in. How's it said? "Hello World, Here I am!, Ready or not...guess it starts here..."

Makeover and first Nite out
Melanie Bowman November 20th, 2007 4:45 pm MSTAs to my trip up to I luv it Girl well first of all It was a dream come true I have wanted to do some thing like this for a long time but I did not know of any one close enough to help me out all the places were either on the other side of the country or on the other side of the world. Then I found out about Jo-An and said good now I can go and get a makeover. Now to Saturday I got up early in antispation of my trip up I was very exiceted to say the lesat. I got up there early Had some lunch then headed over to I luv it But got lost once I got off if the feeway headed down Warm springs Blvd but went way to far because nothing was Fanilar to me and ended up driving around for about 1/2 hour then finally found my way over there after I called Jo-An. When I finally got there I was 1/2 hour late at 1:30. Jo-An said that she needed to be at a drag show at 3:00 so she showed me around then I got dressed. Then she started to make me up and she said you are going with me to the show I thought for a moment the said yes. After making me up she found the right Hair for me. Then I turned and looked in the miorror and was stunned at how good I looked. Then we headed out to the drag show I was nervous to say the least this was the First time I had ever been out dressed the show was very good and the more time that I spent there the more comfertable I felt being out dressed. The people there were very friendly and nice some of the people there were even giving me advice on ways to act like a girl. we took some pictures at the show and heded back to I luv it where we took more pictures and then I got out of girl mode while Jo-An got the pictures ready for all to see. Then I headed home. This was a great day in my life.

Recent Trip & Surprise
Michelle Lynn May 5th, 2007 5:15 pm MDTA couple of weeks ago, my wife and I traveled to MN for a 2 day conference. but we made it a little longer for some personal time. Nothing unusual about that, eh? Well, the surprise was that she had said before that it was okay to bring my clothes, makeup and wig and dress in the motel room with her there. This was the first time she had agreed to see me dressed since the first time I dressed fully which was about 14 years ago.I was a little nervous as I got ready. I wore a simple black knit top, black flowered skirt, black stockings and heels. I came out of the bathroom, she made a nice comment about the outfit and then I spent the rest of the evening on the computer and watching tv - she read, watched tv and we talked for awhile before she went to sleep. I stayed up for a while longer and then changed back into a pumpkin and went to bed myself. Nothing fancy, we didn't go out, but I still was able to dress and especially did it around my wife.A very nice trip indeed![Comment on this post]
