+++Did you know that your lipstick affects your teeth? It’s true! Orange-

toned reds and pale shades like nudes or peaches ca n give your teeth a yellowy appearance. Red lipsticks with blue undert ones cause teeth to

gleam a brighter white.+++

For those of us who are able to grow our nails in a feminine fashion, here’s a tip about breakage. The strength of a nai l lies in its shap e.

An arched nail is much stronger than a flat one. F or those who use false nails, there are nails out there that have a durable and flexible

arch.+++

I don’t normally discuss brands in this column, but this claim for Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth deodorant has me curious. According to what I

just read in Women’s World, this deodorant has a na tural hair retardant in it that will eventually let you stop shaving you r underarms

altogether. Once again, caveat emptor!+++

When applying blush, the preferred method is to lig htly tap the brush against the blush and then dab it on your cheeks. Most women tend to

sweep the brush around on the blush. This does not hing except to trap blush in the bristles of the brush, and never make it to your face.

Additionally, the tapping method creates a great ai r-brushed and perfectly blended look.

+++Here’s a money-saving shampoo tip. Instead of just using the bottle from the store, get a hand pump (generally found in the local dollar

store) and use it to dispense your shampoo. You’ll use less and save some money and still get the clean you want. This is also applicable to

body wash.+++

Ginger ale! What’s ginger ale doing in my article? Well, it’s here because ginger ale can be used as a beauty aid. Ta ke some ginger ale in a mist-type spray bottle, mist it over damp hair, a nd scrunch your hair

as you blow it dry. The sugar in the soda will cre ate texture that helps to form waves as you scrunch.



+++Vaseline is a very useful product. I’ve talked abo ut its virtues in several past columns. Well, I’m about to do it aga in! Just before

bedtime, apply nail oil to your nails and then appl y a light coat of Vaseline. The gel seals the oil in place and lets it work on your nails

all night as you sleep+++

Do you get frustrated when your lipstick wears afte r just an hour or two? Here’s an idea to make your lip color last lo nger. After applying

your lipstick, lightly dust it with a powder blush in the same or a similar shade. The powder will give the lipstick a smooth finish, and

the pigment in the blush keeps the color from fadin g.+++

This is a fast way to tame the flyaway, unruly hair we all deal with sometimes. Get a clean toothbrush and spray it wit h some hairspray. Comb the toothbrush through the locks that are wild . The toothbrush

will spread the hairspray for a smooth and polished finish. Make sure to wash the toothbrush afterward and keep it separa te from the regular

ones!+++

I get a LOT of beauty and fashion magazines at my h ouse. Cosmo, Lucky, Elle, Glamour, Women’s World, Seventeen (daughter, I swear!) – I get them all. And almost al of them have an annoying t rend: they stick

strips of perfume in the magazine. Well, here’s a couple of good uses for those strip-scents:

If you find a scent you like, cut it out and put it in your closet, near a light bulb. The heat of the bulb will diffuse th e scent.

Again, cut the strip out of the magazine and put it in your purse or bag. The scent will permeate the bag and you’ll en joy it for some time

to come.I know that for a lot of us, letter-writing is a lo st art, in this wonderful digital age of texting and e-mail. But oc casionally the

personal letter, or the card, is sent in the mail. To add a nice scent, cut a perfume strip out of a magazine and put it in the envelope before

or when you mail it. The scent will greet the reci pient.+++

Colored mascara is making a big comeback. Browns, blues, greens –they’re all out there waiting for you to try them. If you have blue

eyes, try a gold tint mascara. Green or hazel eyes will benefit from a mascara that has a hint of plum. And brown eyes li ke green tints.



+++You are getting ready to go out for the day, or the evening, and look at your lips in the mirror. The winter air has made t hem dry and chapped,

not pretty whatsoever. The way to prevent this is to exfoliate your lips once a week (at a minimum). There are plenty of lip scrubs on the

market, but here’s an ultra-cheap one you can make at home. Mix together a tablespoon of brown sugar and a drop of olive oil. Massage this mixture into your lips for about a minute and remove. Your lips

will be fuller, softer and prettier.+++

Well, Mellissa got a nifty present for Christmas: th e Ped-Egg. Actually, a dollar store knockoff of the Ped-Egg, b ut I digress. I was

a bit skeptical of the hype on this item, but I’m h ere to report that I’m pleasantly surprised. I’ve used mine a few tim es now, and it’s a

quite pleasant experience. Highly recommended!+++

On the other hand, while I’m on the subject of beau ty items as seen on TV, Let’s discuss the SmoothAway. This is the item that says you can

wipe away your unwanted body hair. Well, it just p lain don’t work, girls. I had the dubious pleasure of trying the Sm oothAway overseas

several years ago, and al I got for my troubles was a red spot on my leg under the offending hair. A GG friend of mine did the same test, and

she had the same result. To quote the Mythbuster bo ys: BUSTED!+++

A final as seen on TV beauty product is still under my review. I received a set of BumpIts for Christmas. The theory of the item is

simple, but I’m still figuring out the actual appli cation. I can use the small BumpIt fairly easily now, and it does make an interesting

hairdo. The larger two are still being figured out . If you’re going to get set, watch the package: the do come in differe nt colors for

different hair shades.+++

All three of the items I talked about above are now turning up in places like the dollar store and Big Lots as generic artic les. I found my

knock-off Ped-Egg on the rack at the dollar store f or (you guessed it) a buck; the same store had a knockoff SmoothAway that works no better than

the brand name.. Big Lots has generic BumpIts in th eir beauty aisle. Caveat emptor!



+++Quickie makeup sponge reminder: If you use a makeup sponge to apply your

foundation, lightly wet your sponge before you put foundation on. The foundation will appear softer and has a more natura l look to it.

+++Wearing rings with gemstones make your hands look y ounger! Thisperception is due to the way light is reflected by the gem. The

reflected light causes the skin to look brighter.



+++A friend of mine recently experimented with a coupl e of blushes that she

was about to throw away. On a lark, she dumped the remaining contents of both blushes into a sealable storage bag and sho ok the bag

vigorously. The mixture has become her new favorit e blush color, and she even found an old blush container at a thrift s hop that she can

store it in. Way to go, Theresa!+++

OK, here’s a factoid that I just saw on the news ch annel crawl that’s a total, ‘No, REALLY?!’ According to the news, women w ho wear heels and walk with a wiggle in their step are seen as 50% mo re attractive then

women who don’t. Say it with me: NO, REALLY?!+++

For those of us who use moisturizer as part of our beauty regimen (and really, that should be everyone reading this!), try this in your beauty

routine. Give your moisturizer a moment or so befo re you apply your makeup. The time lets the moisturizer really sink into your skin and

better do its job.+++

Vaseline strikes again! It can be used for strengt hening nails. It can be used to calm the savage brow hairs. It can be u sed for- no, wait,

this is a family magazine. It CAN be used to preve nt irritation caused by your pierced earrings. Put a light dab on the p osts; the Vaseline

will buffer your lobes from the metal and keep you irritation-free.+++

Do you get the dreaded under-eye bags? Dark circle s under eyes can be caused by a lack of oxygen to your skin. Some of th e causes of this can

be stress, dehydration, and lack of sleep. Combine one teaspoon of whole, plain yogurt with half a teaspoon of fast-ac ting baker's yeast.

Apply the mixture under your eyes with a clean eyes hadow brush right before bed, and make sure to rinse it off in the mo rning.

+++I confess, girls, my secret to you. I dye my hair! In fact, I’ll be

doing it again over New Year’s. I hate it when I d o my hair and manage to do some of my skin as well. To make sure no dye gets on your skin

after you color your hair, rub a little shampoo alo ng the hairline and anywhere else the dye has touched your skin right b efore rinsing it out.

This will lessen any staining without affecting the color of the dye.



And on that note, dear ladies, my first column of 2 010 comes to a close. I’m still out in the beauty and fashion wilds, beat ing the brushes and

looking in the containers to find you more nifty an d great tips and tricks. I know, I always say this, but once again, I welcome any ideas,

suggestions, or comments you may have. Please e-ma il them to me at [email protected] . Also, as Rachel’s site seems to be going up

and down frequently, I want to let you all know tha t I have, I think, all of the issues of PTG magazine that were on her site, and will

happily share.Happy New Year! I hope you have a wonderfully femi nine 2010!

Well “ladies”, November 18th was the second test of my

acceptance or rejection at the Lions Club. There were 14

members and 3 guests present. The member that left on

Nov 3rd was not there for this meeting. Several of the

members actually spoke to me this time and were very

cordial in the remarks although they were honest when

they said they did not understand. The evening

progressed well and before the meeting was over, 2 of

the guest had submitted applications for membership in

the Lions Club. The Christmas party will be December

1st and the spouses will be invited to this one, thus it

will be more test of my acceptance by the members and

their spouses. When I cleared the Lions club, I became

24/7 here in my hometown of Statesboro. On November

19th, I took 125 lbs of pecans to Metter and had them

shelled. Between Wednesday afternoon about 5:30 pm

and midnight, I picked out 200 cups of the whole nuts,

which equaled about 50 lbs of pecans as I put 4 cups in

a bag and vacuum-packed them. Each package weighed

about a pound each.

Wednesday morning, my son and I left for Albany, GA as I spent Thanksgiving with my daughter and my

grand kids, I was dressed androgynously as I must be papa in order to see my grandkids. Had a great time

and an excellent meal. We returned to the Boro on Saturday afternoon. Sunday, I spent the day as

Barbara. Monday in Savannah I spent the day in my “Bubba Skirt” (kilt) as bill as it was St Andrews

day and I am a member (for 44 years) of the St Andrews Society of Savannah. Thus, I attended a

luncheon and later in the evening, a banquet. Between the 2, I spent over 2 hours at the Health

Department to get one shot in order to bring my international shot record up to date for traveling out side

the US of A. Tuesday, December 1st found me back in my Barbara mode. The Lions Club Christmas party

(dinner) that evening, with spouses invited was the third test of my acceptance by the Lions club. There

were 18 members and 14 spouses present. Every thing went well as there was no talking behind my back

or nasty glances. Most of the wives were very accepting of me. I was wearing black slacks, a white top,

and a Christmas sweater-vest and black boots. Basically I was dressed like most of the women there were.

Wednesday, I was back en femme, again, for the day.

Thursday morning found me packing the car and heading back to Atlanta for the Sig Eps Christmas Party

on Saturday night. My brother got back from his cruise and stay in NYC Thursday afternoon after 3

weeks in the Western Caribbean aboard the QM2. Upon arrival in Atlanta, I went straight to the

Canton House for a delicious meal of assorted dim sum. From there, I went to the Buford Farmers market

to get some fruit for breakfast while I am here in Atlanta. I got to my brothers about 2:45 pm. Later in

the evening, we went out for supper at a local Italian restaurant not far from his house. Friday morning

at 10:00, I was at the Topaz Salon on Cheshirebridge RD having my hair done. By 10:45, I was at Publix

getting the necessary items I needed for the Veg Tray I was making for the Sig Eps Christmas Party

Saturday Night. After a quick trip back to Brucci’s to drop the items in the Refer, I met heather and

Phoebe at the hotel for lunch at a Tex Mex restaurant on Savoy drive. After lunch we made a trip to

Wally World (Heather’s second visit), near Perimeter Mall, then to Perimeter Mall for an afternoon of

window-shopping. About 4 Pm, we arrived back at the hotel to begin the weekend… It was decided by

those present to go the 57th Fighter Squadron restaurant for supper. We arrived at the restaurant (14 of

us including 3 wives) at 20:00 had a very delightful meal and left about 22:30. At 10:00 on Saturday

Morning found a group working in the Atlanta room at the hotel setting up decorations for the Christmas

Party. After a Support Meeting, The group split and some went to Chick Fila for lunch and 4 of us

(Phoebe, Heather, Barbra and myself went to old Chamblee Bistro for lunch. We then stopped at the SWI

Imports for some quick shopping for some costume jewelry before returning to the Hotel.

At 1700 (5 pm for those who do not know military time) we were able to get back into the Atlanta room

and set up for the Christmas Party. By 5:45, every thing was set up; tables and chairs, the food and the

music tables were all in place. Shortly after 6 pm, the guest began to arrive for the social hour. Shortly

after 7 pm, Phoebe declared the party open for dinner, which was finger foods and heavy horsdouvers. All

total there were about 40 members, guest and or wives present for the occasion. About 8:45, our vice

present, Becca, started the gift giving (better known as “dirty Santa”)! At the end of the gift giving, there

was an extra gift left as one member brought a gift but did not take a number to receive a gift. (Yours

Truly). After some deliberation it was decided that there would be a number drawn and the person who

got the closest to the number with out going over the number would receive the gift. A “great time was had

by all.” Sunday morning, I was at the “bubba” breakfast (this is where the members come to breakfast in

their guy mode rather than en femme), but dressed as Barbara as I do not bring any guy clothes with me (I

am 24/7). After breakfast, I went to the L.A. City Nail Supply shop and spent about $300.00 on supplies

for the nail shop in Statesboro. By 11:00 I was on the road back to the “Boro” as I was going to a cocktail

party at 6 PM (as Barbara). I arrived at the party wearing a black sleeveless dress, with black hose and

heels, silver jewelry and a silver clutch purse. Most of the women there had on slacks with Christmas style

tops. There were a few in skirts with Christmas tops. I was dressed for a cocktail party. (Guess I still

have a few things to learn as well about dressing as a woman!!)

For the next several days I was at the nail salon. However, on Thursday, I went to Savannah that

evening for a Christmas party with the Scottish American Military Society, of which I am a member. The

men were all “decked out” in their kilts. I on the other hand wore a black dress with black hose and heels,

silver jewelry and The Davidson Sash across my shoulder held in place with a silver snowflake Broach. (I

looked like most of the women there.) The men all knew about Barbara and had no problems. The wives on

the other hand knew Bill but nothing about Barbara. I was well received and treated just like one of the

wives. No Stares, sly remarks, dirty looks, just numerous compliments about my looks and my make up.

There was one new couple there that did not know me at all and treated me like I was a real lady as we

sat across from each other. Before the evening was over, I told them the truth about my self and the

evening was no different than it had been the first part of the evening. It was still mam, she and Barbara.

When we left the restaurant, she had my email address and telephone Number. Today, (Friday), she

invited me to become her friend on face book. I also did some cooking today making shrimp paste, liver

pate and a pan of baklava as I am going (en Femme) to a Birthday/Christmas Party Saturday evening.

Barbara was invited but had to leave Bill at home!!

Saturday night found me wearing black slacks and boots with a white top and a different Christmas

sweater vest when I arrived at the party about 7 pm. Of the about 45 people there, only about 7 or 8 knew

I was really a guy. The rest thought I was female and I did not say any thing different. The girl that was

throwing the party lives an alternative lifestyle, thus there were a mixture of GLBT and straight couples

there. Every one had a great time. There was a lot of food including the liver pate, shrimp paste and

baklava that I took. The party was still going strong when I left about 1045, as I had to be up at 6 am

Sunday morning for church at 8 am. I wore a new black 2 piece black skirt suit and heels with silver

jewelry to church. Several of the ladies came up to me after the service during the coffee hour and told me

how nice I looked today. Made this girl feel good to get those kinds of compliments especially from other

women.

Here it is the middle of December and this oration has basically covered almost a month of my exploits.

Given that plus the fact that our illustrious editor in chief has a dead line due to the holidays and the

short time frame for the next meeting of Sigma Epsilon in January, this is a great place to stop. Thus I

wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2010. May Santa be good to you and

yours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Every now and then I ponder the meaning of my exist ence. Now, this sounds all philosophical and heady, yet it’s simple nothing more than, "Will I spend the rest of my live alone?"I tell myself "I don't want to live by myself!" and until last night, I was looking at it the wrong way. For you see, what I was saying to myself was, “I don't want to live with YOU", meanin g ME! And if this was actually true, then, did I need fixing'? I mean, ca n I be ready for someone else if I'm not ready for me?

The last 8-10 months of my sentence on this planet have involved some pretty in-depth examinations of my past, my present , and my future. Though these "probes" to the center of my soul have been ongoing for several years, before now they were very superficia l. Never before had I "taken a hard look in the mirror". Like most crossd ressers, it’s a quick passing glance on my way somewhere or just a reflec tion in another object. This is all about to change.

For longer than I care to remember, I've been a cro ssdresser, a transgenderist and a bigendered individual. This fact has caused me considerable pain in my life. My earliest memories include the fear of discovery. It is that fear that ruled my life until a short 2 years ago. Although the effects of fear on my psyche cannot be dismissed overnight,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~the mere fact that the fear is gone is akin to the breathing of fresh air right after a sauna. Cool, deep fulfilling brea ths providingreassurance are contrasted to the short, hurried, s hallow pants one finds in a fog of steam, while never knowing if the next is your last.

My life is starting to develop meaning. I have redi scovered personal traits that were quite dusty! Yet why did I still q uestion my relationship status? Was it because I seemed to pic k the "winners"? The one that if I walked into a room of 1,000 women, I' d walk out with a "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree", the sickliest one o f the bunch! This could not be coincidence. It has to be more than me re happenstance. It's ME! I've set standards and conditions in my partner s that compliment my failings.

Like the drug addict or alcoholic finding the 12 st eps of recovery, I've recently found my "12 steps" to spirituality! That balance I've been seeking. This is not to say I've arrived at my spir itual zenith. I've just started taking the first steps of that 1,000 m ile journey. A lot of personal inventory taking and making amend with tho se I've wronged. I can humbly accept myself as the loving person I am. I can display compassion with reckless abandon. I can wake up in the morning and know I'm one day closer to my center.

In retrospect, I'm not so much concerned with being alone. I rather like myself and am content to take my time, and find the RIGHT woman for me. She'll be the woman professing that I'm the right M AN for her! And do you know something? I just might be.....

We're a transgender (GLBT, TG) friendly boutique. Our store is located in Las Vegas, NV, USA, where Amy and her staff provide products and personalized services to help you become "The Person You Always Wanted To Be". The Just You Family have years of experience transforming men into beautiful women.

Amy: Amy was the manager of GB2 and is now the owner. She is a GG and a wonderful supporter of TG girls of all varieties. She has a wealth of

experience with amateurs and professionals and is a tremendous talent with makeup. She is one those special angels sent to help us. I will ask her if she

would like to write an article for a future magazine.

Sheila: For my part I simply look after her website as the webmistress. Perhaps at some time I could also write an article (something I have done from time to time). I do want to say that you have done a

wonderful job with the magazine and I look forward to reading the July issue.
