At The Beach

June 3, 2016

Maybe you were expecting bikini pictures?  If so, sorry to disappoint.  It is far too cold for bikinis at the beach!!  Brrrr!!!!  But you do get to see the nice new Columbia fleece jacket I picked up recently for a steal at 30 bucks!!  Woo-Hoo!!  And maybe at some point I will actually do an outfit post on what I am fully wearing.  But not today. These photos were taken prior to the dinner that I wrote about in my…

It’s Bound to Happen

April 2, 2016

So here I am, Nadine, in my normal state!  Ha!  Seriously, this is how I normally am dressed; in sort of this half and half state.  It is honestly when I feel the most comfortable with myself.  Not fully presenting as a woman, nor fully presenting as a man.  Though I do consider this as my male presentation. In this photo I am wearing my newest top from Target, it is kind of a cowl neck hoodie.  Um…super cute!  I…

How Many Bras are Too Many Bras?

January 10, 2016

Okay so there is a bit more pictured here than just bras.  There are a couple of clothing items folded up on the seat of the couch, but most of that pile is tank tops bras.  In front of that is my collection of cutlets and my sole remaining pair of silicon boobs. The picture above is the result of me feeling as though I had too much stuff jammed into my bra drawer.  I took everything out, threw a…

You Look Much Cuter in Your Other Picture (Actually Finished this Time!)

October 21, 2015

Goodness, did she just say what I think she said?  I pondered that question as I walked away from the Shisheido counter in Macy’s.  It had been a strange dichotomy of people’s opinions and I just wasn’t that sure I had heard her correctly. Earlier, Jules and I had walked up to the Clinique counter to get some new eye makeup remover.  It was gift time at Clinique and thus of course there was quite a line backed up.  I…

The End of the Trip

September 20, 2015

I know, I know, I used the above photo for my previous post on my trip, but it is a great start to this post as well, so, it is what it is.  This photo was taken in front of the Grant Park Best Western in Chicago upon Jules and I arriving there after our fun, but event-less trip to Wisconsin.  Basically after our long drive, we got into the hotel and crashed!  Jules though was so sweet, she got…

Travelling While Transgender

September 2, 2015

When I last wrote about my trip back east, Jules and I had gotten off the plane in Chicago, got our rental car, and were off heading for Kenosha Wisconsin with an ominous warning.  The car rental guy made sure to warn us that the folks in upstate WI were not quite as understanding as they were in Chicago.  It gave me a small pause of doubt, but I reminded myself that I am secure in what I do and…

Outfit for 4-19-2015 – I Have Arms!

April 20, 2015

Dress – White House Black Market Shoes – Taryn Oh goodness, I SO love this dress.  I love the fit of this dress so much, I bought a 2nd one that is basically the same dress, just black with white polka-dots.  But I like this one a little bit more than the other one.  This is my favored one because I there is something about this dress that immediately made me less self conscious of my arms. Arms are one…
