The monarch butterfly can be found around milkweed plants, if you wanted to find one. As beautiful as we are, girls like us are not like butterflies. What I mean is that there is not a specific place to find us. One of the most common questions I am asked is where does someone go … Continue reading Butterflies
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

We are all living in a very different and frightening world compared to a few months ago. What did we even talk about or think about before COVID-19?

Many of us are working from home, our … Continue reading The New World
