I don't pay much attention to fashion. I mean, I look at every dress I see and if I think it's cute, I add it to my wardrobe. But I don't wear something because it's in style or trendy. I might wear something that IS in style or trendy, but not BECAUSE it is. If … Continue reading On Wednesdays We Wear Pink
Ask Hannah!
I have been married since 1988 and am 69 years old. I have been trans since I first started paying with makeup and clothes around the age of 5. When I met my wife, I suppressed all of my desires and my inner-self for fear of rejection and loss of the love of my life. … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Blue Monday
This was one of those dresses that caught my eye and I wasn't really sure why I liked it. I don't have a lot of blue dresses so I thought it would be fun to add to my wardrobe and for my August photo shoot. I don't know why I was so drawn to it … Continue reading Blue Monday
Tuning it Out
We are not who we are because we choose to be. We are who we are. I have said many times that this is not a phase, this is not something we will grow out of. We can decide to listen to our hearts and accept who we are, however. This is the choice we … Continue reading Tuning it Out
I am Not
I think identifying as anything beyond cisgender will probably create a very complicated life. Perhaps complicated isn't the most accurate word, but multi-faceted is the more accurate term. For example, yes, I am transgender, but being trans isn't the same level of trans-ness as say, Laverne Cox. Some of us feel that hormones, surgery, and … Continue reading I am Not
Butterflies

What I mean is that there is not a specific place to find us. One of the most common questions I am asked is where does someone go … Continue reading Butterflies
August Photo Shoot Preview!
This past weekend Shannonlee did a photo shoot in the beautiful Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis. I have always wanted to do a shoot there and thankfully the weather cooperated, but not much else did 🙂 Shannonlee's camera was being silly so most of the pictures we took were on an iPhone. My allergies decided to … Continue reading August Photo Shoot Preview!
Saturday in the Garden
Yesterday was a gorgeous, hot summer day. Not the best type of day to wear pads, forms, stockings, a wig, a gaff, and foundation, but this girl is happy to make some sacrifices to look cute. And I'm glad I wasn't the only one since yesterday was the monthly MN T-Girl outing. In these days … Continue reading Saturday in the Garden
The Unbearable Lightness of Being a T-Girl
So.... I know this is all going to sound shallow. I know this. I own this. I also want to stress that I am not fishing for compliments or reassurance. This is not some veiled post about wanting to be told I am cute or anything. I try to be content. I try to stay … Continue reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being a T-Girl
