Title: Girly things resource?
Post by: Aquila on April 13, 2014, 08:26:18 AM
Good afternoon, ladies!

I'm not too savvy on any things girly, so I'm wondering if there is any sort of be-all, end-all site/post with tutorials on things like make-up, diet, wardrobe, CD and such... If several, which do you prefer?

I thank you so much, even before I get any replies! Woah! :o

No I don't think there is. Really, just be yourself. I think the more inauthentic you are or the more you try to conform to some stereotype, the less people accept you. People love realness. Since there is so little of it. But, the truth is, it's realy about one thing: Practice.

Well, I think a lot of these things are more about personal style and individual taste.  Like there is no definitive way to dress or even makeup style.  It tends to differ person to person.  For me, I've learned makeup tips from friends and have checked out online resources.  However, I find a lot of what helped me was just messing around finding what works for me and even that is still a work in progress.  As for clothing, it's the same thing.  What looks great on one girl may look horrible on you.  It's more of a learning game than anything. 

I'm sorry this wasn't all too helpful, is there something more specific that you are looking for?

Just experiment. Hell, i used to emulate drag queens when I started learning make up. I kind of find it unfair that drag queens do the best make up, but they do. I am still bad at make up and fashion, but I am still learning. There are tons of stuff on youtube and other fashion blogs. Just find your style and do whatever.


Still, Courtney Act is not even on hrt and look at her. Drag queen make up is just crazy.

Still, I think she is too fishy to win. My bet is on Adore Delano.

Try the womens' magazine websites... ex. www.cosmopolitan.com etc. Works for cis girls!

Allure is the best for makeup generally. My sister has convinced me to start a fashion blog so I'll be sharing some style tips shortly. :) I'll link once it's set up.
