Trying too Hard
As I sat in the salon today going through the process of making my hair presentable, I had a chance to read a few of the fashion/style magazines which were naturally available.
One story quickly caught my interest. It seems a genetic woman wrote an article about her experience with wigs. She set out to try as many colors and styles as she could during a day and then wear her choice on the subways of NYC.
Of course like the rest of us, she was totally blown out of the water and like many of us...went the blond route.
Here's the fun part. After she made her choice, she felt attractive and secure with her new appearance- until she rode on the subway. Her comment? I became paranoid because I thought people would think I was trying too hard. (paraphrased)
Wow! Isn't trying too hard to be feminine one of our biggest fundamental problems from cross dresser to transgender? Once we relax and allow our inner girls to emerge, all of the sudden our lives become easier.
As my stylist worked her magic and I walked out, I thought how much sense the genetic woman made.
