Some people who live outside of Minnesota think that we all commute atop the back of polar bears and live in igloos. Yes, Minnesota is cold but we also have very humid and long and gross summers. But the idea that the state is a frozen tundra is a persistent and stubborn perception. If I … Continue reading Bam!
Last year many of you offered your support to Jaclyn after she wrote on her blog a rather upsetting message. We feared the worst as there were no updates after the post. I was relieved to see a new post to her blog. Sadly Jacklyn still seems to be struggling. If you have a moment, … Continue reading Sisters
And yes, NOT ALL MEN. When I post my silly little thoughts, regardless of what I am blathering on about, I try to qualify my statements and opinions with, well, qualifiers like "sometimes..." and "for the most part...". I try to avoid generalities and I want to make it clear that I am not writing … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Men
I read every single comment that is posted on this website. Promise. Sometimes a comment will be a little critical of a photo, an opinion, or a post. Sometimes I am very reluctant to admit the comment which contradicts my opinion has, well, a valid point. For example! Smiling in photos. I will always believe … Continue reading Crossdressing and Compromises
Someone told me that a need is a really strong want. And I think that is mostly true. But I didn't want this dress. I needed it. We all know the feeling of seeing a dress and thinking that it NEEDS to be in your closet even if you have no idea when you'll wear … Continue reading A Need…
Some of us want to burn down any wall between BOY and/or GIRL. Some of us want to eliminate the men's department and the women's department in a store. Display the neckties right next to panties next to the football jerseys next to hosiery. Who cares. Let's revolutionize and start over. I mean, what would … Continue reading Torn

They are very much my weakness and when I see a shiny dress it will very likely find it's way into my closet and into my suitcase when I choose outfits for a photo shoot. When I saw … Continue reading Shiny Things
Hi! Just a reminder that there is a difference between looking feminine and looking like a female. AND! This is going to sound a lot bitchier than I intend it to. Sorry. Looking feminine, to me, is about dresses, heels, and makeup. BUT! We shouldn't "genderize" clothes, shoes, or cosmetics. A heavy metal drummer dude … Continue reading Nuances
I LIKE contrasts. I like seeing two things that seem to be polar opposites of one another together. This combination can be something amazing that one wouldn't have possibly imagined working or an absolute disaster. Sometimes things that seemingly contradict each other just mesh perfectly. For example! A hardcore rapper recording a duet with a … Continue reading Strike a (Juxta) Pose
I have a lot of clothes and I have a lot of pictures of me wearing clothes (and a lot of pictures of me NOT wearing a lot of clothes). Sometimes there's a photo of a dress that I don't necessarily like but I love how the photo turned out and it changes my perspective … Continue reading Showtime, Baby
