Hi All,
Has anyone ever gone into to have glamor shots of themselves done. How was the photo shots and what was the results? I am thinking of having a photo shot as everyone who see me thinks I look go in a dress. My main worried is my thin hair on top.
Alice
Someone I knew did. They were told to show up en-femme and everything went normally from there. YMMV
Yes. I have. I had a professional makeover and photo session a couple of years ago. My avatar is one of those photos.
Alice is taking over and I have booked my Glamor Shots. I think it will be a great afternnon.

Alice, I have a question for you. I saw in another post of yours (in a much more serious topic) that you go to a store in which a lady named Mary-anne helps you. I was wondering if you happen to be in the Pasadena, Ca area because I have been to a store that has an employee with the same name. Bieng a newbie to dressing and all, if this is the same lady. It would be nice to know that I could have a CG/TG friendly contact. Thanks! Sorry for posting off topic. :)
Jennifer,
I am a Canberra, Australia. Definatly not the same person. Iam so said that this person has left Canberrra so I hardly ever go back to the store.
Al
LOL!!! Thanks Alice. I could only hope! Unless she's on two continents at once, I really don't think that they are the same person either. <giggling> I had to ask because the lady that I've dealt with is sooo nice and seemed to know what was up. I haven't seen her scince christmas time so I haven't had the chance to let her know that the clothes I was buying were for me. Thank you again, and btw, how did the glamor shots turn out?
I have not been to the glamor shots yets. They are book for the end of this month. It was funny that I just saw some glamor shots of a girl on a workmates desk. Hope my turn out that well.
Alice
I'm sure that your pictures will turn out wonderful!
Hi All,
Just to let you know.
I DID IT.
is was a wonderfull afternoon and I tried on many different skirts and dresses. I though I looked great on the day and felt great when they said I looked like a woman. I have heard that many times before and that I look natural in a skirt/dress most notiably at my pink party. I am looking forward to seeing the results however it will take a bit of time for the phtots to return.
Alice
All Right!
it sounds like a great time. ;D

I was jumping for joy yesterday afternoon ;D ;D. I just could not contain my elation at the day. If my friends did not know before yesterday that I am TG and a bit crazy they certainly know now (no other workd besides crazy to describe how I was acting). I do not understand the why but I am certainly a lot happy when I just do it. I think the photo shoot was a great day as it proved to myself that my feeling of being TG should not concern me as I have a lot of feminity within me.
I am now looking to set up a pink party Mark II. Everyone will know by then I am TG and it will be an even bigger weight of my shoulders. I already have a pink top and white skirt picked out for the occasion. Sometimes things are just great.

Hi All,
I saw the photos last night and they where mostly great. I couple of them very feminine and I just need to shave/wax my arms as the next step. I will have them back in about 2-3 weeks and will update my avtar as soon as possible.
I lot of my focus yesterday seam to focus on how I looked. I was assure a number of times that I looked feminine, I carried myself in a feminine way and could pass as a woman. I asked how many guys could do what I did and she said that only a few and concluded that I am very feminie - espescially in the way I walked. Well it seams that some things come naturaly as I still do not know what I do to appear that way. However I enjoy wearing my skirts and it very much suites me.
Has anyone else ever had a preoccupation about how well they pass or is this just me? It seams like I am trying to justify why I love to wear my skirts however since it who I am in another sense there is nothing to justify.
Alice
The next bit of pressure (repressed excitement?) will likely be, "Oooh, I want to show my friends how I look." That may mean coming out to some well-chosen friends. Have fun and good luck.

I think that any one of us would honestly say that we would love to pass. For some of us it is a reasonable goal, for others it is pure fantasy. I do not go out dressed en femme very often, but when I do I try to pass. I am realistic enough to know that I do not pass very well, but I am enough of a dreamer to wish that I did.

Truth be know I think we all do.
:) Gillian tells me that I'm lucky I'm not a vampire. I asked why and she said "Vampires can't see their reflection in mirrors and that would drive you crazy". Ya, ya, she's sooooooooo funny :)
Steph
So what does everyone think of my new picture?
Alice
I think your picture looks great Alice.
Melissa
I think that you look fantastic Alice!!! ;D
Jennifer
You look incredible! You are going to turn a lot of heads!
Chaunte
Very pretty, Alice! You look lovely!
No question that you'll ever pass!
helen
You look beautiful Alice. I'm sure you turn alot of heads.
I to have a preoccupation about how well I pass. I'm always double check to see if I walking right and ducking into the nearest bathroom to see if my hair and makeup look okay.
You shouldn't have to worry about it with how great you look.
:)
Jillieann
Thanks to everyone who has replied.
Jillieann - Like your new Picture.
Alice
The only reason I didn't discuss passability is because there is far more to passing than you can tell from a single picture. I also noticed the angle of the picture is not straight-on, but from above. I have noticed these types of shots tend to give a more feminine appearance. But as I said before, from what I can see, you look great.
Melissa
Alice,
Great photo!!! I am jealous. >:D >:D
Louise
your so Pretty Alice. Another beautiful girl with a beautiful personality and a good heart
Hugs & Love
Brandi
