Maybe Brian R posted in the DNSFW thread. Then I stand corrected and I have to say way to go Pamela!

I've noticed a trend in the last few years of starting the rumor/joke in the several days leading up to April 1st, and revealing that it was a hoax on the day itself. This seems to be necessary to actually catch anyone off guard, because everyone's too alert for pranks on the holiday itself.

I have to say, Nirvana's post did make me slap my forehead. It's hard to say though--Brian's been a transgender advocate in the past. I'm torn. No offense either way, Brian.

I do wonder why we hate to be fooled? If it is in a harmless way maybe we should relax enjoy a giggle? It's such a knee jerk reaction to put up one's guard.

knee jerk reactions save lives.

Strange isn't it? Maybe it's something we learn as kids? Not wanting to be the butt of the playground joke.

Bramela, May I ask Questions? Good.

Where does your wife fit in to this?
Are you still driving trucks?
Are you planning surgery or just wishing to live as a woman?
What was your role in the pron movies you made, or did I remember that incorrectly?
You have beautiful long hair, do you feel the decision to have long hair was a precursor to this or unrelated?
Why today? Officialy?
What color eyeshadow do you prefer, or do you not wear make-up?

BrianR. What are your parents thoughts on your transgenderedness? How did it effect them or do you care?

She fits in right next to me.

Are you still driving trucks?

No, not as of the end of January.


Are you planning surgery or just wishing to live as a woman?

One step at a time.

What was your role in the pron movies you made, or did I remember that incorrectly?

Mostly an extra. Never the "star/starlet"

You have beautiful long hair, do you feel the decision to have long hair was a precursor to this or unrelated?

It is definitely a precursor.

Why today? Officialy?

It's been a long time coming. This is one of the last places on the list. Somehow, I never found the right way to say it. Also, I've lost several long time friends by telling them. I never know how people are going to take it and I didn't want to create a huge stir in this, my favorite of all online places.

What color eyeshadow do you prefer, or do you not wear make-up?

I tend to go with purples/pinks depending on the look I want and the occasion/outfit.

I dunno, get out the Ouiji board and ask them. They died in 1995/96.

Also, this is not some hoax that I will unmask tomorrow. This is for real. Some of us already knew but said nothing as per my wishes. Thank you, all three of you!

[monster]

Thanks, and best wishes to you. I applaud the purple!

[BrianR]

You really like it?

[monster]

I love purple. I hate pink. But the few m>f transexuals I know have blue/green eyeshadow fixations and it's truly not a good color to be applied so lavishly. Their tastes match the twenty-nothing college sluts half their age. They all make anime look human, but it's an especially poor look on an older face.

[monster]

oh and re the pic, I'd like to see a little more dark liner on the lower lids. The bangs are fabulous, totally make the look work.

[BrianR]

I think those colors only work on a naturally blonde person. The blues bring out the blues in their eyes but as my eyes are hazel, that doesn't work. Yes, I tried it and didn't like it.

I must admit, that picture had some help. I was taking lessons from a professional makeup consultant since my own efforts only produced the bastard offspring of Ronald McDonald and Bozo the Clown. Now I know that it is possible to look quite good with the right makeup and the right technique. And a set of $100 brushes.

[BrianR]

Re: the pic... I try for the minimalist look. You know, less is more?

I am always open to suggestions but other than in person, I find that the internet is not a good teacher to me. I've seen every makeup tutorial on YouTube and none have helped. But a professional in person? Fab! I have never had a female friend sit down and help me however. That might be fun!
Clodfobble? I know you're listening.

Now I need to go make friends with the MAC consultant over at the mall.

I think they look worst on blondes. Browns and purples work well with hazel eyes imo. But good blending is really the key to good make-up. And time. That's why I rarely bother

one does need make-up lessons. Girls get them from moms and friends -where is a boy to turn? Beest and I both wore blankets of make-up in college, but one of the first things I did when we met was show him how to apply it properly.
