The Roll Show! (Filmed Live in Front of a Studio Audience)

[Roll]

Just spoke with my HRT doctor, and she's still waiting on some lab results. Normally the hospital lab has them done in about 3-4 days, it figures this would be the one time they decide to take over a week, particularly running up against the Thanksgiving holiday which is going to be another slow down in the middle of everything. *sigh*

On the plus side, I bought some cheap $10 clip on earrings to hold me over that actually look really good on me. Even just wearing them without a wig does an amazing job at feminizing my look, I was shocked. I definitely want a "real" version in the same colors/style.

I have a couple pairs of clip on earrings, one that just literally clips on and another of the screw-on variety. I can only wear either pair for about 30 minutes before they just hurt too much & have to take them off.

I just looked at your link - I think that's the same exact pair I have! Hopefully they give you less pain.

I wore them for a while earlier, didn't bother me after a moment but did leave a light imprint when I took them off that I kind of wondered about being a bruise if left on too long.

So I've decided that even pre HRT, women's clothing just fits me better. I don't quite understand why this would be the case, but with the exception of one blouse everything I have bought is just perfect size. My sweater I received earlier is like a glove without being too tight, meanwhile a random men's t-shirt I bought that is the right size still feels like its strangling me (and I don't mean in a dysphoric psychological sense). Men's pants hang on me weird, and the few women's I've tried in the right size do not.

Not to mention, everything is just plain more comfortable. Even the socks... just random fruit of the loom women's socks... SO MUCH SOFTER. And they also fit my feet better than any male socks I've ever owned(the heel is actually at the right place for one). I don't get it.

And my new favorite thing in the world are the boots I mentioned. I don't think these are designed for heavy use, but walking around the house I absolutely love the feel. Again, seem to fit my feet better than any male shoe I've ever owned.

I definitely found that women's clothing fit me better even pre hrt, especially pants.  I had hips and a booty even as a guy so that really want sort surprising.  It made clothes shopping hell as a guy, but was a nice head start with ladies clothing.  I had issues with tops, still do to some degree, due to broad shoulders and ribcage.  Growing boobs helped.  I would like another cup size to make the look better.  They are still growing so I am not really worried about it.  I'm glad your are finding so many positives with transition and yourself.

jeans fit me better( waist to low on mens) as have high pelvis, tops fit fine . Blouse better than male shirt and ladies T shirts as well all pre HRT.

Boots and earrings not very visible, but they are there. Wig is new because other one was falling apart since I didn't care for it properly, this one I bought the stuff to take care of for a bit. Straight and shorter. I like the curls on the other one, but this one is simpler. (Oh, full disclosure, I am wearing shapewear. )

Jesus, I've take more selfies in the past few weeks than I have my entire life. But then I guess it's not hard to have a bigger number than 2.

Also, my room is a mess, I know. I'm stockpiling boxes for shipping stuff when I start selling.

You look fantatastic.  And is that a saintly halo in your new avatar?

P.S.  I decided not to correct the spelling.  I rather like fantatastic.

Again, you look amazing. I need to be taking more pictures, but my camera sucks (old phone), and my photography skills are even worse.

Either that or a beam of light bursting forth from the top of her head.

It's a midday, inside-the-house alien abduction. Those little jerks have no boundaries. You don't even want to know what they subjected me to. It was like an episode of the Magic School Bus where they explain the digestive track. By which I mean they made me watch the episode of the Magic School Bus that explains the digestive track, it was weird and now I can't stop wondering what future serial killer child brings olives and seltzer to school for lunch.

(Yes, that is a real thing from a real episode of the show. )

It's mostly this weird body shaper thing I bought for 10 bucks. Which... I really should take off, I think it's crushing my internal organs.

[Julia1996]

You look very nice Roll. I like your new avatar picture.

One thing I've loved is having my ears pierced - a nice pair of earrings makes a huge difference!

I laugh though, I got my first earring (single, left ear) in my mid 20s, and within a few years I had a second hole in my left ear and one in my right. In guy mode I wear a small hoop and a stud left, just a stud in my right, and people generally don't seem to notice, I guess it's fallen into acceptable enough. Then again, I've had them for almost 20 years at this point, so I don't think of them most of the time.

You look really nice roll.

[Roll]

Thank ye all for the compliments. I mostly just wanted to get a new avatar picture that I felt was more accurate (for instance, you can see my squinty smile, which is worse when I try to show teeth ), and thought I'd grab a shot in new wardrobe items while at it. I've been wanting to find a picture that I can show people when I come out to sort of say "look, this is real and it isn't futile", and I feel like I may have found it.

I hate not being able to live in the world dressed like that at the moment.

You know, a week or two ago I think I was skeptical about ever getting ears pierced (I hate the idea of piercings and tattoos), but after wearing these clip-ons it has become something I dearly want to do, since the effect is so profound (taking off wig, even with bad male hair, the earrings still create a very feminine feel that normally isn't possible for me without the hair).

Unfortunately, it's going to have to wait a little bit. I think that family I'm not out to would think I'd gone insane, I'm such a generally conservative person the idea of me as a "guy" with earrings would just be too much. But once I'm out to them, even if not out to the world, I'm doing it first thing, since I do think that as you said, the world doesn't really seem to care at this point. Afterall, Harrison Ford...

Get a big tatoo at the same time as the ear rings. I promice they wont care about them then 

[Maddie86]

that's a nice outfit and your new profile pic is super cute!

  I'll say it too Ellie. In both the avatar and the full shot you look good.
