Thanks for the Thought

August 17, 2015

Since I have begun coming out to people I have observed an interesting phenomena occurring with some of them.  This thing that I have observed does not take away from what I consider to be super  nice responses from everyone I have ever told and I have really been touched by all of them.  What I have seen is a protectiveness from them towards me.  Which is also super sweet that they would care about me.  But I think their…

Outfit with Male Jeans

August 14, 2015

Sweater – White House Black Market – Similar Jeans – Guess – Similar (male) Belt – Mossimo – Similar Shoes – Saucony – Similar We were in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on the shores of Lake Michigan and the wind was whipping in off of the lake.  The temperature difference between there and where we boarded our plane was immense!  Our flight into the area had a 40 lb limit on checked suitcases and thus when I looked into my suitcase for…

An Important Reader Comment

August 8, 2015

Sculpture by Charles Ray shown at The Art Institute of Chicago Sometimes I feel like the statue above.  Alone and naked, baring my soul for the world to examine.  Thus it is so touching when those of you who find yourselves in similar positions reach out and let me know that I am not alone.  That there are many others out there. The following is a comment that I wanted to make sure got the voice that it deserves: Hi…

Return to The Balance of Power

August 6, 2015

A week or two ago, I published a post about how I was going to approach an upcoming trip.  Due to the wonders of blogging I actually wrote that post before my travel occurred, and it did not actually get published until about ten days after I had already left.  My entire trip was from about the 13th of July to the 25th, I was home for a night and then off the next day for a 6 day work…

Outfit for 100 Degrees!

Tank – Calvin Klein Pants – Papaya – Similar Shoes – G by Guess – Similar Belt – Mossimo – Similar It was predicted to be a bit cooler of a day; only 100 degrees!  But hey, it is a dry heat!  Hah!  Try that in a wig that basically amounts to the same thing as a fleece cap.  Gosh.  Anywho…. I obviously chose this outfit to help combat the effects of a pretty warm day. I really enjoyed the…

The Balance of Power

July 23, 2015

Do you know that it has been over two years since I have gone more than 24 hours without having polish on my fingernails?  I vaguely remember what started it all off.  I had been wearing my nails polished on occasion but not all of the time and in an entirely unrelated incident I began to have some difficulties at work.  That was the beginning of the issues you may have read about here. Anywho… I figured at the time,…

Update on Wearing a Bra

June 25, 2015

The other day I stated to Jules “Oh yay! Finally!” She questioned what was going on. I responded with “I so do NOT want to put this dang bra on.” She laughed. And I continued “But, to drive the point home, I am going to still do it.” This conversation is a good example of how my bra experiment is going.  If you do not remember, in a previous post, I mentioned that I am trying to wear a bra…
