Yay! My first published endorsement!
This is the for the Mane Attraction Enchantress Wig from the Breast Form Store which I wrote a review for recently. I’m having a lot of fun doing these reviews and I have a couple more dress reviews coming soon. I hope to continue to more projects like this, so if there is something that you think would be a good product to review, please let me know!

Last week I posted some photos modeling a new ‘do courtesy of The Breast Form Store. The hair inspired an outfit I put together but never had the opportunity (or courage) to wear. It was a fun, cute summery outfit that I wasn’t sure was *me* or not.
But a new hairstyle can do wonders and I was brave enough to try a new look.
So, what do you think?

I have always had dark hair. The color suited me and it matched my eyebrows. Black hair was just…me. However, I’ve always been a little curious about what I would look like if I changed it up a bit. I recently had the chance to find out.
The Breast Form Store sent me two items to review recently. One of them was the amazing Jolie Thigh Pads and the other was a Mane Attraction Enchantress Wig
My first impression of the wig was…well, I was a little intimidated. That sounds rather odd but when you go from a certain hair color and style for a long time it can be a little scary to make a change. The wig is light brown (the official color is cocoa) and the ends of the hair curled in a fun, playful way.
Although this was a big change from what I was used to, I also was excited to wear it. The color and style just screamed SUMMER to me. It sounds silly, but I immediately thought it would be perfect with my new pink skirt and jean jacket.
Wigs are not always easy to buy. Changing your hairstyle can change your entire look and our attitude, confidence, and how we think of ourselves is often tied into how we feel about how we present yourself. The first time I tried it on was…well, it didn’t go well. But that was not the wig’s fault. If I was apprehensive about changing my look before, I was even more nervous after that.
I put the wig away until it was time for my last photo shoot. I had my outfit picked out for the wig and I was excited to see if I could pull off a sassy, flirty, summer look. Do you see what I mean about changing your hair and changing your life? 😉
When it was time to take pictures of my new hair, I changed into the outfit the wig inspired and Shannonlee and I went outside to take advantage of the outdoor light. It was a beautiful and warm spring day and the sun cooperated magnificently.
As the photos progressed, I became more used to my new look. I started to really love how the hair, the sun, and my outfit all seemed to be fueling my mood. I was amazed by how much fun I was having.
These shots were the final photos of the day. I had a few errands to run after the session and I kept the wig on. I loved how it looked, I loved the impact it had on my mood, I loved that this change was something I could pull off. I couldn’t help but check myself out in the mirrors at Target and the other stores I visited before going home.
There are many different options when it comes to buying a wig. This particular wig is made of synthetic fiber which allows it to be washed if you do it properly. The lace front allows the wig to blend in naturally and create a natural hairline. Simply put, this wig does not look I am wearing a wig.
I imagine I’ll always be a raven-locked girl, but it’s fun to have a new summer look for a few months.
Thank you to The Breast Form Store for providing the wig for this review.

A couple of weeks ago I had a photo shoot to highlight some products I was sent to review. The first review was for Jolie Thigh Pads from The Breast Form Store and you can read my review here. Shannonlee and I did some pictures against a white backdrop for the review photos, but the dress I wore was so fabulous that we did some photos for fun. I hope you like them!

I do not believe there is a standard anyone must meet in order to identify as or look like a woman. I do not believe that anyone, trans or cis, can be too tall, too broad shouldered, too thin, or too anything to be the gender we identify as.
I’ve worked hard to be able to present how I would like to, whether it was taking makeup lessons or losing weight. Losing weight and dropping from a size 20 to a size 12 helps me live a healthier life and I like how I look in clothes more than ever, whether it is a suit or a bodycon dress. The only drawback to losing weight was losing a little curve when I wore a dress.
All of that has changed with Jolie Thigh Pads from The Breast Form Store.
I would like to thank The Breast Form store for sending these pads to review. When I opened the package I was really surprised at how soft they felt. Since they are self-adhesive I did not need to use any tape or spray. However, if you are going to wear a dress or a skirt but not pantyhose or tights, I would recommend using an adhesive just in case.
The color of the pads looked natural against my skin color and are available in several skin tones.
They are made of silicone and they felt soft and…well, real. Even before getting dressed I could see the immediate impact on how they made me look. The pink lines on the photo below indicate approximately where I am wearing the pads. The pads themselves are bigger than I would have expected (sixteen inches long and eight inches wide), but they really give off a nice little…oomph to my figure.
For the first day I wore them with leggings. I wore them for about eight hours at home and the difference was remarkable. I looked curvy. I felt curvy. I had hips! Leggings are wonderful and they hug your body so the difference between wearing the pads and not wearing them was instantly noticeable. They gave me an hourglass shape I never had before.
The pads moved with me. They were as part of me as anything could be. Except for checking myself out in every mirror of the house, I forgot I was wearing them. Under my leggings they felt like, well, my thighs and hips. No matter if I was sitting legs crossed or walking or going up and down stairs, the pads moved with me. I never noticed them. They did warm comfortably to my skin but they never felt sweaty or heavy. They were…my thighs.
I wore them all day and forgot I had them on. When it was time to change, I wondered how it would feel to remove them. After eight hours they were a part of me and never became loose or slid from where I placed them. They were easy to remove and were stored in the plastic packaging they came in.
The next day I wore them with my femme jeans. Like leggings, these jeans hugged my body and the difference was very clear. No matter the angle, I could see how much curvier my body was. The pads had a natural effect on my shape. I felt…amazing. We all know how we look can impact how we feel and I hadn’t been this excited about dressing in years.
Over the next few days I raided my wardrobe and tried on a lot my dresses with the pads. Dresses are often designed for someone with hips and the pads helped make my dresses look amazing. Skirts hung differently. My hands rested naturally on my new hips and every outfit looked better than before.
After a week of wearing them in male mode at home, it was time to dress up and go out. I had plans to see a play for a few weeks and I had a dress already picked out. However, the pads changed my mind. Instead I wore one of my favorite leather dresses. Leather is pretty unforgiving and I was excited to see how I looked. I looked amazing. Before this dress kind of just… hung on to me, but now the dress hugged my new curvy body. I was afraid that it would be obvious I was wearing pads but they stayed in place and tapered and blended nicely to my body.
The only thing I had to adjust was changing the size of tights and pantyhose I wear. Normally I would use the little chart on the packaging to determine my size. If I was in a gray area, I would usually get the size that was for my height. Now that I have hips I need to factor in my new curvier shape instead of my height.
I’ve often said that it takes time, money, mistakes, and patience to create ourselves. Mastering new skills, whether it is painting a piece of fine art or perfecting your makeup, we should be prepared to invest energy, time, and money. Depending on the size you choose, these pads range from $300 to $350. That may seem expensive, however keep in mind that these pads are designed to last a long time. I think of the pads as an investment.
I have worn my pads for the past few weeks and I absolutely love them. If you are looking to fill out a dress or add more curve to your figure, I cannot recommend these pads enough.
Thank you to The Breast Form Store for providing the Jolie Thigh Pads for this review.

Can you think of a more fun way to spend a Friday afternoon than getting a makeover from Corrie Dubay and then going to a photo shoot with Shannonlee? Because I sure can’t!
This was a little different than other shoots I’ve done in the past. This session was all about photos for product reviews from The Breast Form Store and Glamour Boutique.
I’ll be posting photos and reviews for some items over the next few weeks. I’m actually wearing one of the products in the photos above and I can honestly say it has changed my life. And no, it’s not the dress. 🙂
In the meantime, if there are any products or clothes that you would like reviewed, please email or comment below!
Love, Hannah
