hi girls,
Well, it looks like we are all connecting on facebook. I think that's great adds a more personal element to knowing each other.
Jenny, your FB pic, really depends on how public you want to be. Which also depends on your privacy settings. you can make your settings totally private so only friends can see you and no one can find you. As with everything do whatever YOU are comfortable with. facebook uses people in your address book and conacts on your phone, if you're using your phone to conect, to come up with people you may know. if you settings allow friends of friends to see/find you then as long as none of your FB friends is friends with no one you don't want to see then you should be ok.
Tasha, it's nice your going out with some of Tasha in place. it's a good way to see people reactions but also just to let them see you like that. then it won't be such a shock if you do come out as Tasha. I know what you mean about lying, for me just wearing wigs is a bit of a lie. I just feel, when i wear a wig, that i'm being fake. Which is part of the reason I dont wear wigs as often. I just naturally want to be me. However, it's a gentle way for people to be introduced to Tasha and your comfort and safety is most important. If that's what you are comfortable with then I think it's fine.
I also feel your pain about make up. i need to practice more so I get good at it. but it's tough doing it on my own 'cause I don't know where I could be doing it differently to make it easier or the results better. I'll get there eventually though.
