Yesterday the MN T-Girls celebrated five years of fun, beauty and friendship! We started our celebration by meeting at the Mall of America for a delicious dinner at New Cantina. There were a total of eleven of us enjoying food, drink, and girl talk as we chatted about everything from politics affecting the transgender community … Continue reading A Celebration Five Years in the Making
Sometimes I wonder if it IS all about the clothes, the makeup, the heels. But it's not. It's about not feeling comfortable being tied to a specific gender for my entire life. It's about feeling comfortable as more than one gender presentation. I feel just as confident in a suit as I do in a … Continue reading Dressing Up and Dressing Down
Who carries the men's blue lace shorts lingerie. Wish I could attach photo but they are a bit short and not as loose in the legs as the one on Xdress website, the black ones. I really have no idea. I am sure there are many blue lace shorts so I'm sorry that I can't … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
I received an email the other day from Alicia Lagan whose son came out to her as transgender two years ago. As she watched her son start taking hormones and adapting to his new life, she noticed he had a hard time finding clothes that fit his changing body. Alicia and her business partner were … Continue reading Every Body Fits
This is probably a silly question because I'm sure it has been asked many times, but for some reason I've been unable to find the answers. So do forgive, please, if this topic is painfully obvious! As a T-girl, my physical proportions make shopping for clothing difficult. I have dude dimensions. Especially, my hips are … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
A friend of mine forwarded an email to email from Lane Bryant announcing their new Pride-themed collection. It's a wonderful thing to see a company announce their support for the transcommunity (and the GLBTQIA community as a whole). It's a risky thing as it can create backlash and boycotts of the business itself, such as … Continue reading Shopping with Skepticism
I never thought there would be so many options when it comes to businesses that cater specifically to our community. I've been aware of Glamour Boutique for a while and I even did some modeling for them. There's also Suddenly Femme, Xdress and HommeMystere. I recently learned of another option for us. En Femme Style … Continue reading En Femme Style
I am a beginner crossdresser. Please tell me how to chose my dresses. Creating your wardrobe is one of the most fun and expensive things you'll ever do. It will be even more expensive if you don't purchase clothing that is the right size. It's important that you know your measurements and understand that the … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
We have all experienced challenges with shopping at one point in our lives. Whether it was selecting accessories that best complimented a dress, putting an outfit together, determining our correct size(s) or simply working up the courage to set a foot (high-heeled or otherwise) into a store. I cannot tell you how much money I've … Continue reading Long Tall T-Girls
In my male life, I tend to be a bit of a workaholic. Even on my days off, I plan projects and errands and things that I need to accomplish. I have a hard time relaxing. One of my favorite things about having two genders is that Hannah is very different than my male life. … Continue reading Hannah’s Adventures in Mall of Americaland
