This weekend I lived the supermodel dream when I visited the talented photographer and amazing human being, Alison Malone of Malone Portraits. Alison has a studio in northeast Minneapolis and I was honored when I was invited to contribute to her portfolio, specifically boudoir shots celebrating gender nonconforming people. She didn't have to ask twice. … Continue reading Living the Supermodel Dream

Ask Hannah!
In the beginning, to save a little money did you alter some of "his" clothes to be your clothes? If you did how did you go about finding a person to do that for you? There are quite a few of "his" things that I would like to be turned into mine. This is something … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
From Makeup Brushes to Paint Brushes!
This weekend was the monthly event for the MN T-Girls and it was something we've never done before as a group... we took a painting class! A small group of us spent a rainy Saturday afternoon with Terri Berg who teaches painting for groups and parties. She was very patient and just super fun to … Continue reading From Makeup Brushes to Paint Brushes!
Turning Point
I get quite a few emails from partners and spouses of people like me and likely people like you. We are on our own journeys but we all experience many of the same things. One of the commonalities is that we know there is something different (and amazing and beautiful) about us AND it's something … Continue reading Turning Point
Fridays and Feminine Flaws
I don't want anyone to think I am a professional model. And I don't want anyone to think that I myself think that I am a professional model. I'm not and I don't. Annnd I don't want to be. Well, maybe I do... but only when I am stuck in a meeting or staring at … Continue reading Fridays and Feminine Flaws
Well, Now What?
I think there is unmatched ambition that comes with youth. There's this amazing and naïve optimism that we have... a fire that burns hot... until the world succeeds in beating it out of us. Worn down by responsibilities and heartbreak we develop a slow resignation that we are powerless. But that's not true. We can … Continue reading Well, Now What?
Minnesota House Passes Trans Health Refuge Bill

From Minnesota Public Radio: The Minnesota House of Representatives passed a bill early Friday by a vote of 68-62 that would prevent state courts or officials from complying with child removal requests, extraditions, arrests or subpoenas related to gender-affirming health care that a person receives in Minnesota. Physicians who practice gender-affirming care … Continue reading Minnesota House Passes Trans Health Refuge Bill

Three Links
Hi! I appreciate it when someone sends a link my way that they think we would be interested in. Sometimes it's a link to another t-girl's website or a new place to buy lingerie, a story in the news I missed, or resources that help us in other ways. I'd like to pass on three … Continue reading Three Links
A Need…
Someone told me that a need is a really strong want. And I think that is mostly true. But I didn't want this dress. I needed it. We all know the feeling of seeing a dress and thinking that it NEEDS to be in your closet even if you have no idea when you'll wear … Continue reading A Need…
