Quote from: Dances With Trees on April 05, 2025, 04:37:36 PMToday, I went online with my daughter and we picked out two dresses for me. It was such a rush and I believe she had fun protecting me from my awful sense of style. It was the kind of good thing I never imagined happening. The hardest part about trying to be who I am: the person I used to be keeps getting in my way.

Oh my gosh what I would give for that experience. I know my daughter would have VERY strong opinions about what I should and shouldn't wear.  :D
I'm not out to anyone but my therapist yet, so I guess that's something to look forward to. 💕

A CIS female friend or a further transitioned lady that has a sense of style can be helpful when clothes shopping.  If at a store, they can advise you if the outfit you desire is right for you, or if you should not buy it.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I really enjoy visiting my hair stylist and talk and have her get my hair just right.

Quote from: ChrissyRyan on July 18, 2025, 08:47:05 PMI would not want a Brazilian or Hollywood wax though. 

I waxed for 7 years; the full monty.  I haven't had to shave underarms/legs/arms the last 3 years.  The Hollywood area hair is very fine and feminine now and only remains in the front.  Well worth the temp pain.  I think the HRT helped. The hair is just gone :) Either waxing or laser is the same cost in the long run.  Waxing just gives you that smooth sexy feel for longer I think.  I paid for my wife to get the laser hair reduction, and it was so so comparatively.
One shouldn't open the book of another's life and jump in the middle.  I am a woman, I'm a mystery.  I still see and hear who I used to be, who I am, who I'm gonna be. - Richelle

Agreed.  The nice, smooth feel is attractive.  For myself, I take care of that at home.

For my sweetie, she is amazingly soft and smooth.  Very nice.
