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
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!
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
When I was growing up, I was fascinated and intrigued by the vast options of girl clothes. It was all so exciting compared to the clothes that were in my closet and dresser. It seemed like there was an endless variety of shoes. Girls could wear Mary Janes, saddle shoes, pumps, heels, ballet flats, wedges, … Continue reading Patterns
It's amazing how fast a fashion cycle can go. Some things are popular for what seems to be a short period of time, and some things seem to be around forever or constantly making a return.

Once I stopped fretting about my shoulders, I happily went shopping for a few dresses that I had always wanted to wear but never had the courage to do so. I took my new dresses and confidence to my photo shoot from July and had an amazing day. I love this dress, and I love … Continue reading How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love my Body
When I first started to fully dress I looked for clothes that would minimize some of my features. I found a new appreciation for layering and how contouring could downplay some of my more masculine facial features. When I started to go out of the house, I did my best to blend in instead of … Continue reading From Concealing to Revealing
“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” -Lewis Carroll When the pandemic hit and the little things and the big things were impacted, I looked at a lot of aspects to my life. I was reminded how important it as to support small, independent businesses that were affected by the … Continue reading Impossible Things
Yesterday was the monthly outing for The MN T-Girls. During the pandemic our events have been pretty small and low-key, and July's event was very much in that spirit. A small group of us met up for some ice cream at Nelson's Ice Cream in Saint Paul because really, what's better than ice cream on … Continue reading Ice Cream Social Distancing
Yesterday was the first MN T-Girl outing since February. It was wonderful. I look at our group as a social and support group, but between the protests in Minneapolis and COVID-19, yesterday was more therapeutic than anything else. It was a small group, and we just enjoyed catching up over coffees at Creators Space Coffee … Continue reading The MN T-Girls Return!
