This weekend was the monthly MN T-Girls event. After a very hectic first half of summer, we thought it would be nice to relax over coffee and delicious snacks at Patisserie 46, a cafe/bakery in South Minneapolis. So, that is exactly what we did. This was our first event after Pride and although the group … Continue reading Girls Just Want to Have Lunch
Oh hi! So, Pride was this past weekend and it was lovely. Planning an event in June could mean anything from sweltering hot temperatures to storms but this weekend's weather could only be described as "lovely". Okay, so it was windy on Saturday but that's better than melting in the heat. In fact it was … Continue reading Thank You, Pride
Pride month is almost over... and maybe it's just me, but Pride Month hasn't really Pride Monthed this year like previous years. I might be wrong, but there seems to be less... hm, outreach and representation this year than last. I know that there is likely some pandering when major corporations do things like tweeting … Continue reading Pride Month isn’t Pride Monthing
Anyway, a while ago someone emailed me and decided it was appropriate to let me know that they think that I dress like a whore who is asking for it and that no real woman would wear what I wear.

So, I was invited to an event a few weeks ago. The event was a GALA. A GALA. Is there anything more alluring to a girl that loves to dress up, and I mean, REALLY DRESS UP, than the word GALA? My friend Ali, an amazing photographer and the owner of Malone Portraits (where I … Continue reading Some Enchanted Monday Evening
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
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
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
