Hi Chrissy, Kathy, Dietlind, and Kate!
Thankyou for the well-wishing and compliments. They helped! This has been the
best night of my life so far! I met five transgender people: Christin, Kristopher, Tom, Danny, and Diane. We had great discussions, and I connected with them on emotional levels. At times I became sad when hearing their trials and at other time I was very happy when hearing their successes. I could relate with them all and see their beauty.
This was also the first time I did anything with my face. I bought my very first makeup stuff. Later, I spent about three hours to do the following makeover: I lightly
trimmed my eyebrows, plucking a few stragglers. I
shaved my face with a razor, which hurt alot on my upper lip cuz it wanted to pluck instead of shave. I put on
mascara, which was very hard, messy, with lots of redos. I put on a little bit of blue
eyeliner, which was hard to draw without my eyeglasses on
. And finally, I put on some
lipstick. But I couldn't even tell I put it on cuz its close to the same shade as my lips
. I tried to go really light on everything cuz I really don't know what I'm doing. I hope to become a girlfriend and have a girlfriend one day who can help with all of this stuff.
And then, I donned a really neat
hat I've been saving for over a year!
My fingernails and toenails are painted white. And I put on a small pearl bracelet. I wore black shorts over black yoga tights and a grey shirt. I only own one pair of clothes so I didn't have much choice in that department. I also wore a cluncky pair of beach shoes. I can't wait to go shopping one day. Black sandals that don't hide my feet would be wonderful. Oh and ear-rings too! I wonder what kind I will like?
What was so amazing about all of this was...I could see my essence in the mirror for the first time! But more than that, I'm making
friends for the first time in my life!!! I think I will have a big cry session one day on HRT.
Ok here are two pics taken in my bathroom.
What a great adventure I had tonight! Wishing you happiness and love. You are all beautiful and I'm happy to have you in my life. Oh yeah, I'm guessing I take off the mascara before going to bed?
Sincerely,
chenrezi
