It's humbling and exciting when you realize how much you don't know. I've been wearing makeup for almost twenty years and over time I've adapted to a changing face in terms of shape as well as through the natural progression of aging. I use different techniques and products today compared to ten years ago. So … Continue reading Saturday Night Makeup Party
A recent comment reminisced about going back to an earlier time when transgender people could function under the radar. I admit that sometimes this sounds appealing. It's exhausting to see frequent tweets from powerful and influential people about the DANGERS that our community creates. As we become more integrated into society this kind of attention … Continue reading Under the Radar
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
I think many of us can relate to the maxim "two steps forward, one step back". We make progress but maybe backtrack a little. We strut forward, but we also stumble. We run, and we rest. We are inspired, but we might give up for a little while. We buy dresses, but we purge a few days later. But … Continue reading Strutting and Stumbling
From mprnews.org For Maddy Loch, Rainbow Wardrobe is a simple concept. It’s your classic fashion television show. She is the host curating the look. 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
This weekend was the monthly MN T-Girls event and like every December for the last few years it was our annual holiday party! I love this party. It's a wonderful excuse to get dressed up and it's a relatively low key event for us to just chat and take a brief rest for the hectic … Continue reading Jingle Belles!
The last few days have been filled with significant and personal milestones. I turned 48 on the 16th. I celebrate 7 years of sobriety today. I am humbled and grateful for marking 10 years with the MN T-Girls this past weekend. These are all very personal and very wonderful accomplishments. They each are moments where … Continue reading Ten Years of T-Girls, Part One
This past Saturday was the MN T-Girls monthly event which was our annual SpoOooOOoky and SEXY Halloween party. Like previous years we were guests at one of our member's homes but unlike other years I actually put some time and effort into a costume. You know, for a girl who loves dressing up I sure … Continue reading T-Ghouls!
I would like to meet another t-girl to be friends with. Where would be the best place to meet someone else who likes to crossdress? Honestly? The internet. It's not like we all go out an congregate in specific places unless it's a LGBTQ+ bar/nightclub, I suppose. Some of us, including myself, are, well, visibly … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
