Post by: Ashley_C on May 14, 2011, 04:57:54 PM
As I've stated many times by now, I am fairly new. Although I have struggled with my identity for some time, it is only recently that I have come to terms with it and decided to move forward.

Only problem is I have no experience. The only clothes I own are 2 camisoles which I can only wear when my roommates are gone (hardly ever, but I am right now ;)) I also have never had a chance to apply make-up or polish. These are all things that I want and need to learn how to do.

Is there anyone in my area that is willing teach me a few things? You can PM me or messenger me. I'd really like to meet a peer if possible in the Los Angeles area.

I hope this isn't against the T&C. I'm just looking for some help.

If you can't find anyone, try running a little search on YouTube. There is a very surprising amount of tutorials on a surprising variety of things on it.

Search for things like "how to XX", "XX 101" and "XX guide".

Thank you A!

I'm already a subscriber to many channels on youtube but nothing being able to talk directly with someone face to face.

For anyone in your position, I would suggest you start with learning makeup. Disguse is the woman's secure weapon.

You can always send a PM to someone here you look up to and maybe they might give you some pointers.  If you were closer to me I would be willing to help.

There used to be several "Valley Girls" chapters in the LA area, try to look for them

Rach,

I've just reread my post #3 and the way it came out, it appars I haven't read your opening post.

I really understand that you are having problems finding space. But it was the information I was thinking that seems to be pretty good on those channels.
