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
Hi! I wanted to share with you a new resource for those who are looking for undies for gender non-confirming people. From their website: underDARE is the Twin Cities first in-person shopping experience for gender-affirming undergarments. underDARE offers a physical location for LGBTQ+ folks to shop for gender-affirming and other community-specific undergarments they would otherwise … Continue reading underDARE
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!
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
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

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
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!

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
This past Saturday was the monthly MN T-Girls outing and girl, I was lucky to GET out. What I mean is that we did an escape room and it was SO HARD. If it wasn't for the smart girls in our group I'd still be locked in the room trying to find a way out. We … Continue reading Hard Candy
I discovered Japanese mythology and folktales when I was about thirteen years old. I was mesmerized by the blend of storytelling and history and culture. I love the respect that the Japanese have for stories and how these tales have influenced their customs. Stories such as Momotarō feel very much like the fairy tales I read when … Continue reading Rabbits and Mice and Carp, Oh My!
