A small group of us met for dinner at Holman's Table, a restaurant located in the Saint Paul airport. The main airport in the Twin Cities is huge but there is … Continue reading Dining at Holman’s Table!
Sometimes the weather is not a t-girl's friend. The summer brings humidity and ruins our makeup and in the winter it's too cold to wear that minidress and it's too icy to wear those heels. Oh, who am I kidding, it's never too cold or icy to wear a minidress or stilettos. Although summer gives … Continue reading Sweatproofing your Makeup

It's a wonderful thing to see a company announce their support for the transcommunity (and the GLBTQIA community as a whole).

She … Continue reading Covering Up Beard Shadow
I'm new to crossdressing, I have never dressed up in women's clothes but want to. I am scared to this but if someone were to give me guidance I would love to do it. Another thing, I love the look of women wearing knee high riding boots and I want to see if I can … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
PFLAG was the first support organization I heard of when I was growing up. I attended their meetings a few years ago and found it was a wonderful, supportive, and inclusive community. So, what is PFLAG? Their mission is uniting people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) with families, friends, and allies. … Continue reading PFLAG Events for May

I would like to start a group similar to the MN T-girls but I am having trouble finding other CD's that might join the group. Could you share some of the steps you took when starting the MN T-girls? Particularly how did you contact a community of people that is typically in the "closet". … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
