Grinkie T-Girl
Hi! Last Saturday I visited Grinkie Photograpy for my third photo shoot with the incredibly talented and charasmatic Christi Williams. Photo shoots are a LOT of things. They are empowering, fun, intimidating, humbling, and overwhelming. Even after a decade of these things, I still feel a little self conscious and I never know what to … Continue reading Grinkie T-Girl
When There’s Something Lame in the Neighborhood, Who Ya Gonna Call?
The MN T-Girls, over the last (almost) 12 years have done some really amazing events. There are some activities that will provide wonderful lifelong memories and some that have been, well, let's be charitable and call them underwhelming. The MN T-Girls had our monthly event this past Saturday and as the days led up to … Continue reading When There’s Something Lame in the Neighborhood, Who Ya Gonna Call?
Saturday Afternoon’s Alright for Thrifting
This past Saturday was the monthly MN T-Girls event and it was wild. I mean, not literally wild. I just felt obligated to use an obviously cliched idiom considering where we went. And where did we go? Glad you asked. We went to Wild Things Antiques and spent the afternoon looking at vintage clothes and … Continue reading Saturday Afternoon’s Alright for Thrifting

Pride Time
Hi! The Twin Cities Pride Festival is this weekend and the MN T-Girls will be there! The Pride festival is a LOT of work and it costs a LOT of money and every year I wonder if this year will be the last one we go to, but once I am there I remember how … Continue reading Pride Time
Always Learning, Always Fabulous
This past Saturday was the monthly adventure for the MN T-Girls! Yes, they are no longer events, they are ADVENTURES. Or field trips. That works too, especially when we learn something. I heart museums and about once a year or so we visit the Minneapolis Institute of Art, one my favorite places in the world. … Continue reading Always Learning, Always Fabulous
A Glimmer of Optimism
Earlier this year I was part of a photo shoot for UnderDare which is a physical shop in south Minneapolis that sells gender affirming undergarments, from binders to gaffs to tucking leggings. I've known Marcy, the owner and founder of underDARE for about a year now and it's really fun to see her mission and … Continue reading A Glimmer of Optimism
Thank You, I’m Sorry
I have a new article for The Breast Form Store! Gratitude can sometimes feel uncomfortable. It can be disarming when you think about how fortunate you really are. And yes, I know that there are aspects to our lives that we wish were better or easier. I do this all the time. But right now I am on … Continue reading Thank You, I’m Sorry
