As important as I think it is to find heels and dresses and lingerie that fit (and I think this is really important), I think that finding support and friendship is just as crucial. A random thought. I know it's shallow to put panties and stilettos as equal to support for girls like us, but … Continue reading T-Girl Support in Wisconsin

Ask Hannah!
I am making a contact sheet of resources for a friend of mine that cross dresses. Is there any resources you would highly recommend? Mental health, books to read, people to watch on YouTube or to follow on social media. He’s not looking for forums or dating sites, and that’s all I really come up … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Silver and Bold
I used to think the only way I would be able to leave my home en femme was if I passed. Knowing I would never pass (not that there is such a thing) I thought if I blended in I would be ready to brave the world. I see blending as a... hm, survival method, … Continue reading Silver and Bold
Identity and Responsibility
I was out for a run the other day and usually a run allows me to lose myself in my thoughts and to let my mind wander. Being outside, getting exercise, is a great way to gain some perspective. It helps me work out problems and occasionally have a brilliant, random idea. On this particular … Continue reading Identity and Responsibility
Acceptance and Embracing
We know that "society" will never "accept" us. We can't wait for "them" to let us know that crossdressing or wanting to wear a dress or lipstick or whatever we have tucked away in our dresser drawers or hidden in our closets is okay. Acceptance of who we are comes from ourselves. Some of us … Continue reading Acceptance and Embracing

MN T-Girls and T-Grilling
This past weekend the MN T-Girls had our monthly social event. A typical summer always has a patio party but I think it's safe to say that this summer has been anything but typical. The group took a few months off earlier this year but we started to meet a few months ago and have … Continue reading MN T-Girls and T-Grilling
Spoonbridge and Cherry Dress
When I tell people I live in Minnesota, I am asked one of three things: Have you ever met Prince? (no) Isn't it cold there? (during winter yes) Isn't that where they have that cherry sculpture? (yes) There are few things in my state that are more iconic than 'Spoonbridge and Cherry' by Claes Oldenburg … Continue reading Spoonbridge and Cherry Dress
On Wednesdays We Wear Pink
I don't pay much attention to fashion. I mean, I look at every dress I see and if I think it's cute, I add it to my wardrobe. But I don't wear something because it's in style or trendy. I might wear something that IS in style or trendy, but not BECAUSE it is. If … Continue reading On Wednesdays We Wear Pink
