I love how clothes can change...everything. I love how certain patterns, colors, and styles can minimize or enhance certain characteristics of our body. Black tends to be slimming, dresses with larger prints are usually flattering to us tall girls, and a skirt with horizontal strips can balance out a body that is considered top-heavy.

Queer Prom!
This time of the year I always am reminded of how badly I wanted to go to prom en femme. The adventure of shopping for a beautiful dress and the matching heels, daydreaming about how to do my makeup, and spending the evening looking beautiful was all I thought about when I was in high … Continue reading Queer Prom!
Change Your Hair, Change Your Life!
I have always had dark hair. The color suited me and it matched my eyebrows. Black hair was just...me.
