Here I go again :-(

If no show and tell, than why buy one.

I don't go swimming or sun bathing so have not worn a bikini in like 40+ years.  When I was much thinner.

This was Pre and not much development up top.  Sorry NO photos of that.
Have very few photos from back than.

 it's like a standing joke around me..."when you getting your bikini on" ....I am not that old...really I'm not....personally I think If I go out in public I run the risk of people throwing water on me, then try and drag me back into the sea

Georgette,

  When my friend and I go fishing in Missouri it is done in the river or creek. Not just the fishing line. We walk in them.  Normal fishing attire is a t-shirt and shorts. The water can get fairly deep and unexpected holes and muddy bottoms cause you to get soaked. Now that I am no longer flat chested I wanted some better coverage under my t-shirts.
   Another reason not to have show and tell is that I burn when exposed to that bright org in the sky. Exposing skin blinds everyone for about 30 minutes then the lobster effect takes over. Later pain sets in, if not blisters and scabbing. It's just no fun.

Hugs,
   Laurie

LOL Liz,

There is no question  when we go fishing, I will be getting wet. I don't believe being a wet t-shirt show is what I am going fishing for.

Morning folks,

  Today is my therapy session again. I was going to wear my new skirt and top but the weather isn't cooperating so it's a red/black top, my new boot cut jeans, my high heeled boots. and a cardigan.
   I showered and did my makeup in only an hour. (that's good for me as I have problem with not wanting to get out of showers before the hot water runs out.

  I see if I can post a picture or two when I return.

Hugs,
    Laurie

Have a great therapy session! Outfit sounds cute, do send a pic (don't forget the smile!). <3, P

Thank you p,

   My session was okay. Again I got compliments and told I look like I'm becoming more comfortable as myself. The walk into the lobby from the lot was interesting. I guess I've never walked down a slope in 3 1/2" heels before. They lobby was less full but I still stood over to the side trying to stay out of the ways and unnoticed. We talked of many thigs not least of which was my pending cross country road trip which is becoming imminent.

As promised I took a couple picture after returning home.(had to be after getting home as I forgot to take my phone with me)

Hugs,
    Laurie

Wow, looking good, Laurie!  Glad your therapy session went well.

Thank you Kathy. Is it just me or have we not heard much from you lately? You know we can't have that...

Hope all is well, Kathy. Hugs,

Thanks Davina, I had to trim my nails back some after breaking a second one the other day. They'll grow back soon.

Hugs,

Looking good Laurie, glad the therapy went well.

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

  Thank you Sadie.
  The best part was that I felt like I looked nice. It felt so good that I had no qualms walking past people on my way in and on the way out. I felt good and they were not going to change it by being there or looking at me.  The lobby was still a little bit of a challenge but not as bad.

Hugs,

There's our girl...you have been battling that old grump Jeanette for to long...Ok so there are no excuses anymore...you go out presenting in that manner and you will have the counter ladies falling all over you wanting to do a makeoverhelp.

You do look like you are ready for a make over ready for a lunch out with the girls (just before a make over) You look great and once again the nails are looking spectacular. I have just started Biontin to give both nail and hair a chance. Prior to HRT I had no problem growing my nails but now they just seem to chip and break. Interestingly I used to use mainly clear nail polish now of course its pretty much anything goes. especially when we are talking makeover

Hi Liz,

   Such nice compliments! Thank you, Liz. I'm starting to think Jeanette was somewhat of a stick in the mud also. As Laurie, I've been a little braver about stepping out the door. Oh, I'm sure I'm not quite ready for prime time shopping or lunching with the girls though. Besides, I haven't found any social butterfly girls nesting around here to go for lunch with.
   Biotin huh? I'll have to keep that in mind for trying if I start having trouble with my nails like you did. I'm so sorry you no longer have nails as perfect as mine    LOL  I don't have perfect nails though  Mine have ridges that grow out from the cuticles and what look like elongated bubble bumps on them. Even filing those smooth, you can still see them. If I don't smooth the ridges and bubbles you can see them in the polish.  I hope that biotin helps yours so you can tell us how well it works.
  Are you having problems with your message box functions? It looks like your underlining is off. What I see is an open space that is underlined instead of the underlining being underneath the words as it should be. Perhaps it is a setting that needs to be adjusted. I've noticed it's happened in quite a few places in your last few posts.  Funny thing, I don't recall seeing it on anyone else's threads you have commented on. Hmmmm curious.... I suppose it could be my settings... but it doesn't do it when others comment.

  Well Liz I'm going to wish you a stupendous day and go see what else has been posted today.

Hugs,
    Laurie

You look wonderful, Laurie! I love the outfit, and I am, as always, jealous of your beautiful nails. I am so glad to see you feeling more confident. Makeover, schmakeover: You will be full time before you know it, Laurie!

Big hugs, p

p.s. - heels downhill, I say a prayer & try to bend my knees a little.

Not sure what you actually mean I can't see anything wrong with what you are talking about...how about the rest of you ladies...can I respectfully suggest you hold the CTRL button and the scroll function of your mouse so you are able to enlarge the print so your poor tired old eyes can cope my dear

And that young lady is what transitioning in life is all about. We do it for ourselves and occasionally during the the journey we get a glimpse of the real us and that reinforces the psyche.

Now enough of being supportive. This up coming road trip. We are only going to take Laurie's clothes aren't we? There will be no backing down on this will there?

Nope, all looks above board to me, nothing 01001101 01000001 01001011 01000101 01001111 01010110 01000101 01010010 fishy to me hidden in your post Liz, seems all perfectly polite and not in the least suspicious in any way. Don't know why Laurie's getting her nickers in a twist with accusations of subliminal messages, must be all that country and western she's been listening to.

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie

Don't know why Laurie's getting her nickers in a twist with accusations of subliminal messages, must be all that country and western she's been listening to.

I tried that once.  Even played country-western backwards listening for subliminal messages.  None found, but my truck started running again, my dog came back to life, and my wife came home.
