Yesterday I was part of a... oh, I suppose a focus group might be a good description for it. I am not sure how much I CAN say, but a few weeks? months? ago Glamour Boutique sent out an email about a new television show called "The Candy Store" centering on crossdressers and t-girls and … Continue reading Power and Risk
Walking in stilettos is an act of balance, confidence, and forward momentum. And if that's not a metaphor for life then I don't know what is. I am active online in three different ways. Flickr is for photos, my website is for photos, my writings, activism, reviews, and shameless self-promotion, Twitter is for quick thoughts and … Continue reading Life is Like a Shoebox of Stilettos
Yesterday I posted some thoughts and pictures from my first photo shoot of 2021. Typically the first outfit of a shoot shows excitement and confidence... but as the shoot progresses my energy starts to deplete. Sometimes my energy is strained because of a pose or from a pair of stilettos. Some shoots require a lot … Continue reading Wilted Flowers
Most of my photo shoots are for a reason. Some of them are for En Femme, some are the annual MN T-Girls shoot, some are for reviews, and some are just for fun. It's easy to get burnt out on them, though. Don't get me wrong, I heart them but they do take a lot … Continue reading Shine, Shine, Shine
I'll tell my truth, I'll speak from my heart, I'll share my feelings to countless people online.But I am coy and vague in real life. If someone in real life brings up something I wrote about online, more than likely I will try to subtly change the subject. It's easier for me to say what … Continue reading Baring More Than My Soul
I had an interesting thought the other day. Well, I thought it was interesting. The very first trans person I was friends with (as far as I know) was someone I met when I was in my twenties. At first I knew them when they were still presenting as male to the world and we became … Continue reading Gender and Privilege
There are certain colors that are.. "off limits" for boys. Pink, that's a significant one, but there are others. Like lilac. Sure men might wear a lilac dress shirt, but it's a light purple shirt, thank you very much. But come on, it's lilac. And I heart lilac. I mean, it's a beautiful flower and … Continue reading Lingerie in Lilac
Your skin always looks fabulous. What's your routine, specifically, what's your nighttime routine? Do you use a serum? Eye cream, retinol? I'm trying to establish a night skin care routine to help keep my (rapidly aging) skin nice as I can, and would appreciate your feedback. Thanks! Thank you! Please keep in mind that my … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Happy Trans Day of Visibility! This is a, well, I don't want to say complicated day for those who are bi-gender and who identify as crossdressers, but it's a reminder of how inclusive the term 'transgender' is. I think when most cis people think of the term they think of people like Elliot Page and … Continue reading Trans Day of Visibility
The most read articles on my website have to do with shopping, to some degree. It could be anything from finding one's measurements, to how to try on clothes, how to determine your bra size, or simply feeling comfortable and welcomed when it comes to being in a store. My emails reflect this activity as … Continue reading Because I am Not Busy Enough
