  1. Still cannot post a photo to the Gallery.  Up-loader does not appear to work for my computer at the Gallery doorway.  But I can load one here.  Just last week I took this photo.

  2. Sorting through all of my Florida photos - quite an exciting story to share - a whole week feeling like and presenting myself as a woman - more to share soon.  Dawn

  3. Some updates - Neat - My wife just purchased me a gift two new pairs of Hanes Silk Reflection Ultra Sheer hose for an upcoming outing - she was also helping me to find a new blouse to wear that would match one of hers.   Also, on a recent Disney Cruise I was called mam and lady by almost everyone.  For a lot of the trip, they thought there were two sisters together on a cruise. Still in boy mode for this trip but obviously I was looking feminine.  Was wearing a bra most of the time.  Just in the last two weeks; my breasts have been getting noticed quite a bit - My Doctor who I had not seen in about a year in his almost only comment - said my chest was noticeably larger and at GNC the store manager that is a friend and knows me as a boy just made a real big deal about noticing my chest (Breasts) had gotten bigger - he could not take his eyes off my top the whole time I was in his store.

  4. Repeated to be on top. I was just thinking back today about how confident I was after having this particular salon makeover. Hair, brows and toes (Late Sept)  With only adding a bit of lip gloss I felt like a woman all day and went out and walked around the farmers market knowing that in everyone's mind they only saw a lovely woman.  In fact I barely noticed anyone checking me out at all.  I was just blending in and I was not nervous at all that I would/could possibly be mis-read as a male.  It is days like these that make me wish I could be a woman forever. :)

  5. Ran 5 miles near home showing off my new jogging outfit; great fitting Danskin bra top with matching purple running shorts.  Love to present myself as the woman I feel myself to be. Dawn :)

  6. One of my older jogging outfits that I dug out to run 5 miles in.  The biggest difference is there are no breast forms this time,  having grown another half inch; why would I want to hide my girls. They are so much a part of me now.  I feel so free to run as a woman now. :)

      Very interesting border showing a beautiful lady runner wearing my favorite colors!

  7. My wife today told me my breasts looked huge and wanted to make sure I had on one of my better support bras on when I went out to go on a bike ride.  The herbals have really worked.  Will post a photo soon - Dawn

  8. My new suit just came in  - Monica thanks for suggesting it - Will model it soon - Then will have to decide which one to wear on my beach day in three weeks. :)  Dawn

      Hey, Dawn, may we vote on it? Already know which one I will be voting for! LOL!!

  9. My Latest Salon Experience.

    Today was my final run to the salon I go to - as after today - it is closed due to the Virus Concerns.  But what a great experience I had today.  Putting the main phrase up front about how well I passed at the salon my stylist in her parting comment to me knowing that I would be at home a lot in the next few days; was that she "did not want me to come back pregnant."  Currently this is not possible, but she did have me walking out of the salon looking very much the lady.   I had everything done today almost like a fire sale because I would be one of her last customers for a currently unknown period of time.  Anyway I just had gotten a new set of lady's glasses made that I was wearing for the first time and I was not wearing a single item of menswear.  Yes, I had on a teal nice bra and some flowery lingerie beneath my women's sports wear.  I also had on some of my favorite perfume. 

    Before I went my wife had told me to have a wonderful girls experience at the salon.  So I had a manicure, a pedicure, my brows waxed and my hair cut and colored in a feminine style.  My stylist told me I was "beautiful" as I left, she actually appears to delight in making me look feminine, and most of those in the salon did not blink an eye as most of them believed me to be a woman; really.  Also - I have to admit she likes showing her muscles to me that are maybe a couple of inches larger than my soft arms. Then she said she was worried for me as I looked so beautiful that she thought I might be pregnant (Yes me) when we next see each other.  I am actually thinking I will go in when I next get to see her and maybe pad my middle a bit, for a joke on her. 

    The colors she got me for my manicure and pedicure she was calling "the pandemic."  I really mean this in a good way - in fun - but I do realize this is also a very serious. Attached are a few photos of my nails hair, and glasses and a new swimsuit and surf coverup shirt my wife helped me pick out for a future trip to the beach.  

    Anyway today for me was a fun day - Still I am concerned for everyone as we go into a lock down to keep people safe during this national crisis/pandemic.

      Monica Thanks - I love having nice clothing to wear when I run.  I actually think a lot about making sure everything is coordinated and is comfortable to wear.  Because, I now weigh and have measurements close to an average/almost petite woman my height, I fit/can wear a lot of really nice feminine sportswear.  (Not woman style clothing modified for a male body - in fact I am a bit turned off by male lingerie sized for men) 

      When I am out running, I am so concerned that I appear relaxed and that I do not show that I am nervous about what I am wearing.  I do feel like a woman and this is what I want those around me I encounter to feel - so I now avoid wearing necklines or bra tops that show off too much of my new development/cleavage.  Modest is better.  Better to have more coverage so I am not concerned about possible wardrobe malfunctions or too much concern about people speeding too much time looking at me and then maybe reading my gender.  So my persona is female and I am now living and experiencing it. :)

      Dawn, also you want to avoid unwanted male attention, as most women do!

    4. Dawn13

      Dawn13

      True - I never thought other men could scare me - but just a few days ago - a man in a passing car shouted at me and told me wanted me.  I am sure it was not what I would have wanted.  Sadly, this is a new life experience I am not used too.  The more I have become feminine, I am guessing this will continue to be common when I am out but I wish this would not be the case.

  11. Michael fixed my photos - Thanks for helping me find the setting/s.  All please post comments to my photos when you have time.  Best wishes everyone. :)

      Dawn, the purple 👗 dress goes great with your blue eyes!

  12. Latest run as a girl was fun - Ran 5 miles on a heat Index 100 degree day in MO - Stopped by a neat cave to cool off; was glad for the stop  - Noticing my arms a lot lately - so much less muscle and a much more feminine shape.  Will be adding a new herb soon - pueraria mirifica (kwao krua).  Running as a girl is so much more fun these days; yes lots of whistles.  :)

      Monica - Thanks for the comment - I do feel very feminine lately when I run now. Almost every time I am out lots of whistles and comments.  I remember one not too long ago - someone commended me for being "a beautiful and fit runner."  These are comments that help me know that I am getting so much closer to where I want to be. :)

  13. Just ordered a purple  -

    Miraclesuit Oceanus One-Piece

    Size: 14
    Color: purple

    I am going to wear this at the beach next month.  Now to make sure my body is beach ready. :)

      My suit just arrived and it fits phonemically.  Other than my just being a little larger in the shoulders and having to do a small bit of a tuck, it flatters me greatly.  Because I have not been able to diet myself to 138 pounds I was concerned that I would look too fat in it.  I was almost in tears when I tried it on and saw myself in the mirror.  It really makes me look trim. Will post a photo/s when I have time.  I am planning a day at the beach in Florida next month and I hope to get to swim in the ocean in this suit.  The Miracle suit really does what it says.  See attached Tag.  Dawn :)

      Dear Dawn,

      That's great! Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

      Have come across a company, called Shapermint, (but I have not seen their product, although it looks very good), that seems to sell outstanding shapewear. Their website is:

      https://www.shapermint.com

      Keep me posted, girl!

      Yours in Sisterhood,

      Monica

    4. Dawn13

      Dawn13

      Thanks Monica - you are right Shapermint has some great styles.  I priced the same swimsuit and theirs was $160+ for the Oceanus style but I was able to get mine at less than 50% of this price at Rue Lala.  (Another great store.)  Still I signed up for discounts with Shapermint and I saw several great looking dresses and swimsuits. Thanks so much for helping me shop.  I am getting much better at this, but I still have a lot to learn about selecting the best clothing for myself as a woman.  However, I feel I have always had the artistic and feminine mind that enables me to enjoy shopping for beautiful things. Lately with these feelings I have had no problem shopping in the women's section in various stores, including trying on dresses and sportswear.  I have also moved away from just going to thrift shops to buying from better stores new items that makee feel good about my image.  Yes, my confidence as a woman has really grown lately, and I know part of this is occurring as my body now fits better with my feminine mind; has become more reshaped; softer and rounder.  For this trip because I have been a bit heaver than I wanted to be I decided wearing a 👙 bikini was not best for me, until I am back to 140 or less.  The swimsuit I just bought will help me cover up my belly and will be a good starting point for me for future days on the beach when I may be ready for a bikini in the future. When I go to Florida on this trip I will be alone most of the time and I will have several days I can totally be my feminine self.  I am looking forward to the freedom and being able to express myself as a woman for these days and I will be totally free to do my makeup and wear my best, yes sexy, beach wear - still I do not plan to go overboard wearing high hills and extravagant night wear.  I just want to blend in, be noticed as a woman, but not draw too much attention; not get too excited about this opportunity for fun as a girl.  Dawn :)

  14. Just back from a trip to North Dakota - When on a run and hike in the Badlands.  Can really see my pony tail and my purple running outfit. So Much fun.  :)

      Appreciate this site - it has meant a lot to me.  :)

      Hello Lori - the site was off line for a few days and when it came back on I could not load photos again; into the albums.  Is there a new clue that I need?  Dawn

       

  16. I just received a gift of a new purple dress and pearl earrings.  Also I recently purchased a Victoria Secret slightly padded pink bra that I am wearing now. This was my first new dress in quite a while.  I think the fit was phenomenal.  Sung and form fitting showing some cleavage. I can really see results of the herbals and blockers I have been taking.  I only had some lip gloss on - plan to do full make up soon.  Still I was amazed at myself. And I still feel overweight.  More soon - Dawn :)

  17. I am adding a blog item about Halloween Costumes.  Please join me there. :)

  18. Here is my first photo in my new swimsuit.  I already see a couple of things I will need to change.  Likely I will want to have my hair out instead of in a pony tail.  Comments please.  Dawn :)

      Thanks Monica - I am concerned that my shoulders are still a bit large and that I need to have my hair flowing over my shoulders to better frame my face.  Still swimming in the ocean will change everything as I am sure as I get wet and covered with salt water.  And of course I do not want a suit malfunction. :)

      Dawn13

      Hello Monica - Thanks for your comments - I did go ahead and order the blue suit also.  Size 12 - Will do a comparison when I get it in - you are so good at helping me with my best colors.  :)

  19. Here is my blue suit. :)  Because it is a size 12 it may be a bit snugger and the blue seems to bring more attention to below my waist.  With a fitness skirt I have the blue suit may be still the best - it may work really well.  Opinions please.  I may post a video of one of my suits soon; just made 4 - three in blue suit and one in the purple suit.  Opinions and comments please - I really want a fun and uneventful day at the beach - feeling, looking and being a woman. 20 days until Florida. Dawn :)

  20. Heading to Florida today.  I will be vacationing and doing some business on this trip.  Looking forward to my time on the beach and most of my time being myself as a woman. I think I am ready. :)

      My friend in Florida tells me it's 68 degrees right now. Think the pink outfit would be perfect! My friend tells me she expects it to warm up, so I think you'll enjoy your swimsuit, too!

  21. Have been so focusing on my expanding developing chest that I almost missed my expanding hips.  Here is a current photo.  Dawn :)

  22. Fun and enjoyable day yesterday. Got fitted for glasses at Lens crafters.  I purchased a very feminine woman's frame.  The lady added that my blue eyes and eyelashes really showed well and the smaller frame accented my roundish face well.  She said this could be my "fun glasses" for maybe when I go dancing.  While getting my new glasses, I was completely in women's sporty looking clothing;  sport top, Levi tight stretch jeans with small woman's belt, women's body warmer sleeveless jacket, women's running shoes, earrings and necklace, nails shaped and polished; all women's;  including bra and pink panties underneath.  I was called mam twice.  Again my voice did not seem to change how I was treated; as a woman.

    I just added photos of my new glasses.  Dawn

      Dear Dawn,

      The bottom picture looks best.

      Love the blouse. Every shade of blue looks great on you, as your Season is Spring.

      Like the shape of your glasses. Think blue or green would flatter your hazel eyes. Hazel eyes change color, depending on the color of what you are wearing.

      You may want to consider developing a wardrobe of glasses, because they are a fashion accessory.

      Your friend,

      Monica

  23. Crazy all that is going on now as we are under stay at home rules.  Hoping to hear how everyone is doing?

    1. MonicaPz

      Dear Dawn,

      Don't know if you recall, but we once had a weekly telephone support group.

      Wonder if we can start it again, probably using Zoom.

      Keeping busy with telephone Town Hall meetings, webinars, taking classes, etc.

      Would you be open to a TGGuide Zoom support group?

      Am doing fine. How are you doing?

      Your friend,

      Monica

      Would love to do this - However,  I do not think I could do it while my wife is home.  She only partly supports the feminine body changes I have made.  She told me that she already sees me much more as a woman. but rather would not.  My wife was supportive for me going to a local counseling service for transgender people.  However, this along with everything else is currently closed. :(

      Dawn, I love that skirt and socks. They really flatter you!

  25. Another great day getting my hair styled, brows waxed and a pedicure.  I wore my new American Eagle Hot Pants and a matching top that showed off my comfortable white nylon bra underneath. I had a brown hair band, rose quartz earrings and was wearing one of my favorite perfumes. My stylist said she really like making my hair, brows and toes "beautiful."  Then she had to mention she had been doing weights and showing off her arms to me.  Of course we compare arms and mine now look a lot smaller than hers.  And I was thinking mine really look feminine.  After I was done at the stylist I left, looking almost totally beautiful, and I went to a local farmers market and just blended in - I really think no one even possibly thought I was not female the whole time I was there. A wonderful transgender feminine experience. :)

      Thanks - you made my day - I really try to find clothing that coordinates well and is not too sexy to draw out too much attention/notice.  Always concerned I am not overly noticeable; that I just fit in.  Also, about my smile. I am finally out of my braces - first time in over a year. I so appreciate your comments about how attractive I look. :)
