Monday Night Highlights?

This morning I played role reversal sports with my girlfriend.  We were exchanging a few morning texts and she was trying to tell me which prime time games the Bengals were playing this upcoming season. However I was as insistent asking her ideas about highlighting my hair.  This coming week is salon hair visit before the Trans Ohio Symposium. The highlighting process is a little more expensive so I was wondering if I had to repeat the whole process on every visit. (No)

She asked was I feeling especially girly this morning since she was talking football and I was talking hair.

Actually I was.  Many of you loyal readers to Cyrsti's Condo know I identify transgender and not transsexual because I don't feel the pressing need for SRS.  Ideally I suppose you could label me as gender fluid too as some days I do feel more girly than others.

Looking back on a rather long and interesting life on the gender frontier, the more things change the more they stay the same. HRT or not, I think I was always very much the same person.  I just crushed the idea of thinking of "girl stuff" before "boy stuff". I dislike dealing in stereotypes but damn I still love my sports but I love them even more when my "girl fluid" is high.

Classic Cross Dressing Clip

Remembering an episode of dual cross dressing on the old "Boy Meets World" television series:

Cross Dressing Geometry

Two hundred ninety years ago when I was in high school working very hard not to flunk geometry, I thought  just what the hell would I use it for anyhow? My Dad pointed out some sort of geometric knowledge of angles may work to improve my worse than terrible pool game.  I hated pool and still didn't care. I was motivated somewhat by my Mom who said flunk it and goodbye college and hello Army. So I managed a C-.

Years later, I finally found a use for geometry in....body styles and fashion! I may have paid more attention in class if someone had explained my body was the "inverted triangle" type and to shop accordingly as a girl.

We have discussed the inverted triangle here in Cyrsti's Condo. The majority of transgender women and cross dressers probably have this body shape.

To refresh all of you who have short memory spans like me, here's a definition from my new fave fashion site "Fabulous After 40" :

"If your body resembles an inverted-triangle it means you have broad shoulders, narrow hips, an undefined waist and a large bust in proportion to the rest of your body. You kind of always look like you are wearing shoulder pads when you are not , or a better way to say it is you have a swimmer’s shape."

For more really great hints to put your best girl-self forward, go here and in the meantime we will finish up with this great tip from the "Fab" :

"As I (Deborah) mentioned earlier a gal with this figure type has a large bust in proportion to the rest of her body. While that’s pretty sexy when you’re young, after 40 when everything starts to sag and bulk up you can look really top heavy and matronly. So my tip to you get a great bra that hikes your breasts up and off your tummy. Your bust should sit halfway between your shoulders and your elbow. The perkier you look, the more youthful you will look."

Great stuff...right? All you "Dolly Parton" wannabe's still have a shot if you do it right!

Please don't stare in the mirror and hate yourself and definitely,  do not be a victim and think you can't improve your feminine image! Remember sites such "Fabulous After 40" can help you dramatically... if you adapt their knowledge to yourself.

 I'm very sure they have no idea their knowledge speaks to the very core of who we are and how we are struggling to present ourselves to the world. But then again our fashion goals are the same as any other genetic woman.

More than likely those stylish women you admire so much are have already read and benefited from this information! Now where's that damn geometry book. I'm sure I can raise my grade to a "C"!
