One Year Anniversary

Well girls its been a year....and what a year its been.

Last year I peeked out of the closet and opened a subcription to URNA, something I just had to do. So what has a year brought me? Some really neat friends, the ability to walk comfortably in four inch heels, I am afraid of nothing, and I am recognized in my circle of friends (non-trans) as beind someone you can come to with any kind of makeup or fashion issue. I did my 6th makeover for a GG, still not asking for money but she did take me out for lunch. I am actually giving away clothes instead of hoarding them. I discovered I had TWO identical leopard print blouses...imagine! I keep all the clothes I wont ever wear outside in boxes and they have expiration dates. Progress! I am becoming sensible...tee hee! I am still in Gender confusion, living in the midwest and being the only tranny in town, sometimes is a definate challenge! I now know most of the gender advocates in my district and will continue to help to promote the rights of good citizens of questionable gender! I dont have to be called Ma'm all the time, it's OK, some people need glasses. I still have a rough voice that I am working on and can generally sound fem if I remeber to turn it on. I still get the second looks, but I dont get the shock reaction much anymore. I am working hard at blending in and it pays off, until I decide to dress Manhatten Chic, then I get the hairy eyeballs. I read to many fashion mags and sometimes go overboard, but a girl has to either lead or follow in fashion!

To all the many girls that have helped this year! WAY to many to mention here!

THANK YOU!

I love you all!
