For the past two weeks I have been on a shopping spree, and bought lets say... A lot of clothes, forms, makeup accessories. I decided to dress myself up (breast forms, 38D bra, white capri, scoop half sleeve, a tummy tucker, bum booster, I know a lot right?), used my recently bought make up kit, and curled and styled my hair. I am trying to not look like a drag queen, and appear more natural. It was probably the first time I look "decent", and am in a real celebratory mood (popped open a pilsner!).
And as you can tell I blacked out the back, but I think the pic gets the idea down. I am pre-hrt, haven't plucked the eyebrows, have a bit of muscle lets say, so I know I still look very mannish... But this is feeling like a big moment for me. Kind of nice to feel in my right skin in a different way :)
Dang!!! You's a hottie!!! :icon_chick:
Nice pic, and indeed style.
If you keep on in similar vein there is no real danger of looking a drag queen.
You look beautiful, and your smile radiates happiness. :)
Your really quite pretty, no, i mean really beautiful...Not at all "mannish". From the pic, think ur eyebrows look fine. Better natural looking than over plucked. ;)
Congrats on the wonderful feeling of being who you are inside!
Super cute!!
Congrats and you look great!! Not too "mannish" (is that really even a word and it's correct spelling??) by any means. Great smile and the muscle mass isn't anything to worry about. Keep up the good work to becoming who you are. Also, I love shopping as well and the proper clothes real do complete the presentation of who we see ourselves as on the inside.
The arm muscle shows a tad but not bad. Don't maneuver your eyebrows they look female and natural. You look pretty good actually. I kind of question the make up but I never cared for it so don't take that to heart.
I like your style, you will not look like like a drag queen at all! Very cute!
Very nice.
Looking good hun
you are a cutie!
You don't look mannish.. maybe a little bit tomboy, but in a cute way.. and I like the short flippy hair
Looking super HOT!!!
I hope I can look that good when I start wearing makeup. You look very nice.

You're a cuteeee!
I believe the technical term is
"Giggity! Giggity!"

looks very nice and sits like a girl too...did you deliberately choose that pose or did it just happen?
Your facial features will give you a good start when/if you go onto HRT. Having a good bone structure to start with is great. On HRT the upper body will atrophy (muscle loss) and the face will have a little redistribution of fat to become more in line with female fat distribution.
Welcome to Alice in Wonderland, its quite a ride.

Wow you looking just stunning :o
Your really pretty! Your eyebrows look really nice, even though they aren't plucked they have a nice shape to them. I like your hair too :)
edit: This was my 666th post >:-)
You're pretty, not male at all. You're probably one of the lucky ones.
I do see a similarity to late princess Diana, very feminine features. Beautiful start and to think pre HRT, wow girl, youz gonna be gorgeous babe!
If I was to arrive at that kind of look after one shopping trip I am standing at my door step waiting for a limo!

It was natural when I was dressed up... I normally do not sit like that. But, for whatever reason, when I was dressed up my mannerisms aligned to a more feminine manner!
Thank you everybody for the posts!! I have been feeling a lot better about my passing ability, once that day comes, from all the comments and support. And again, thanks to all of you :) I was at work today and comparing myself to girls around me, and it came to fruition in my mind that it might be a lot easier to pass than I thought. I saw a girl my height (6 foot 3 inches) and no one would question her femaleness. So, I am coming to terms with things about myself that are I think are masculine, are not as big of issues in passing. I think it is something that, whether trans or not, one has; always thinking one is a lot less pretty than one actually is. Been feeling really happy and a lot better about my appearance since this photo has been taken!
I was a bit worried about my height (6'2")... But I've been noticing a few gals around town that are my height as well
One gal works at the market I go to... I was in her check out line when a guy stopped and said...
"Wow! There's some tall women around here... and you are both beautiful"
We both smiled and said thank you :)
Don't worry about it, you really do look very feminine.
