This Saturday I attended the premier of the Children's Theatre Company's production of 'A Year with Frog and Toad'. This wonderful, cozy play was based on the series of books written and illustrated by Arnold Lobel. Growing up I found comfort in the simple and reassuring small adventures of these two best friends. There were … Continue reading An Evening with Frog and Toad

Saturday Night Makeup Party
It's humbling and exciting when you realize how much you don't know. I've been wearing makeup for almost twenty years and over time I've adapted to a changing face in terms of shape as well as through the natural progression of aging. I use different techniques and products today compared to ten years ago. So … Continue reading Saturday Night Makeup Party
Gangster Girls
The MN T-Girls have had over one hundred monthly events during the ten plus years since our group started. Some of the adventures we have had are as simple as coffee and girl talk, some are annual events, like the Halloween party, and some focus on femme presentation, such as makeup lessons. And then there … Continue reading Gangster Girls

Ask Hannah!
I was doing some searching for makeovers in the Twin Cities seeing though I will be visiting soon and ran across these two places and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on them. https://www.be-luminous.net/https://www.evrymakeupstudio.com/ Oh my goodness I have not heard of either of these two! Luminous Beauty, according to their website, offers … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Magic and Science
After a few minutes into the performance, I realized that I had no idea how to communicate what I was about to see. It's not unlike watching "Everything Everywhere All at Once" or listening to Tom Waits. How can you even begin to describe the experience? I think it's normal to equate something with, uh, … Continue reading Magic and Science
Putting the U in Support Group
Last year the MN T-Girls celebrated our ten year anniversary. I honestly feel that this group will be one of the biggest accomplishments in my life. Which is kind of strange because it's something I keep a secret to half of the people in my world. My work colleagues would be stunned if they knew, … Continue reading Putting the U in Support Group
Someone Told Me it’s All Happening at the Zoo
And they were right! The MN T-Girls had our monthly adventure this weekend and we did something we haven't done before. We visited the zoo. Specifically we spent most of our time in the conservatory of Como Zoo in Saint Paul but we did get to see a sloth, turtles, some giant fish, and a … Continue reading Someone Told Me it’s All Happening at the Zoo
O Frabjous Day!
It's cliched to say that the Children's Theatre Company's production of "Alice in Wonderland" in wonderful. But despite trying so hard to think of a different, less predictable adjective as I sat in the audience on opening night this past Saturday I came up short. It is wonderful, plain and simple. Not that there's anything … Continue reading O Frabjous Day!
Wear the Rainbow
From mprnews.org For Maddy Loch, Rainbow Wardrobe is a simple concept. It’s your classic fashion television show. She is the host curating the look. The customer is the contestant, and at the end they get to keep everything for free. The shop’s clients are LGBTQ+ people, who often don’t have many options when it comes to clothes. … Continue reading Wear the Rainbow
