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.

rather you than me! Re less is more, I'd tone down the lip gloss. -the color is great but the shine is too much. but that's just my personal pref. And I'd still like a little more liner on the lower lids

But hell, I hate to put the stuff on, it's war paint to me. i'd like to, but I just don't have the time or patience. i only bother when i'm going out in public and feel the need to make an impression/intimidate.

Now, you know THREE transsexuals!

There is no in-culture reference.

steeeeeeeeep awaaaaaay from the truck man! transWHAT? saltgrass? remember that?

[BrianR]

methinks I could knock Fred over with one of those feathers! LOL

Someone get that man a strong drink! STAT!

[BrianR]

Oh, and for the record, I wasn't wearing lip gloss. That is a combination of the lighting, the camera flash and no editing. The photographer is a makeup artist, not a professional photographer!

Also I was wearing the wrong foundation shade that time. He was out of the one I need and this was closest in tone. I know it looks a bit off, compared to the rest of me but it was the best we could do.

That pic is circa 2005.

[monster]

I hate foundation. 2005? You still look young for your age in that shot. It must agree with you

[plthijinx]

2005? just before salt grass then. that was what? 2006?

Brian, I don't know if this is PC or not. I'll be buggered if I can figure it out, but I just wanted to say that you make a pretty attractive woman. I've never seen you as a man, so I can't comment on that.

I am certified for both sky and SCUBA diving.

I once won the AAUW creative writing award for a poem that I plagarized directly from The Lord of the Rings. I've felt guilty ever since.

I was interviewed on Philly After Midnight, an episode watched by at least five people.

As of today, I am an officially transitioning transsexual. I answer to Pamela.

I would write more but I am going to allow everyone to recover their composure first.

If you thought announcing your new identity was going to distract me from the fact that you're a plagiarist, you've got another think coming!



Actually I'm more amused that nobody noticed you plagiarised LotR. Which poem was it?

Oh yeah and congratulations on the Pamela stuff.

[DanaC]

Wow. Awesome pic. You look so striking. Beautiful. And congrats on such a major decision.

[casimendocina]

That's a great dress or is it a feather boa?

I'm fluent in Turkish. Oh yeah, and I'm also new to this forum.

After a "certain age" dark liner on the lower lids makes the face/eyes look older - it draws down - upper lid liner draws UP.

y'see, I know that's the school of thought, but I still like to see some. Just more on the upper.

Brian, Thanks for trusting everyone here.

As always, I am curious about several things ...

- why on earth would you CHOOSE to wear pantyhose and high heels (yes, I know that flats are more likely for you, but that spoils my question)?

- will you lose the ability to parallel park and repair automobiles?

- nice glamor shot.

I am jealous Brian. Since you are in the middle of the transformation you can still use both sexes to your advantage depending on the situation.
Ah the years I spent helping girls and guys look glamorous.
