I always let you know when I have had a new thought or new experience, sometimes profound, sometimes, well, not so much.
So, within the definite scope of the latter, I present to you a recount of my latest new experience as a girl.
I got dressed this morning in a cute pink t-shirt and low-waisted white denim capris, with white pumps. Bleary-eyed and in serious need of my coffee, I flipped on the machine and read some of the newspaper while it did its magic.

So there I was, getting out of my car in my coolest and loveliest sundress. I locked the car and put my keys in my purse. Then, hoisting my purse onto my shoulder, I walked behind the car, preparing to cross the street.
I heard a metallic clank and looked down and back to see a sewer grate. What could have made the noise, I wondered. I knew my keys were in my purse. So was my cellphone. And, my sunglasses were on my head.
Oh well, could have been anything… I had to pee, so I went on my way.

I must say that a tgirl sees some funny things in the mirror.
Oftentimes, that humor is but a manifestation of a little inner pain and confusion, but a little laughter is nice medicine.
One such incident just occurred as I changed clothes.
I spent the day with my hair tied back and in manly clothes doing the pinstripe thing, and when I got home, I just wanted to wear something more comfortable.

As part of my recent trip, I had my very first professional makeover, packaged together with my first ever pro photo session.
I slipped one of the photos into a recent post without any fanfare, but I really think this experience deserves its own special attention.
The end result of the makeover was more makeup than I usually wear, false eye-lashes which I rarely wear, and a much more “done” look than I tend to go for.

Ok, I’ve gone stark raving mad over shoes these last weeks.
Usually, I buy a bunch stateside and satisfy my hunger for a time, but this year, I never got my chance to buy any there.
When I returned, I realized that I had a gaping hole in my shoe collection – nothing white, and one solitary bone-colored pump that I had worn to death.

According to a local paper, many of the attendees at the Rockabilly Festival enjoy the freedom the group gives them to express their individuality in musical and fashion terms. They do not follow what is considered mainstream or popular and go their own way.
People at these events wear vintage fashions, or modern spins on those, along with two-tone shoes or colorful brogues. The men slick their hair back while the women have their hair intricately styled into 40s dos, often in jet black, platinum blond or bright red. Many are heavily tattooed.
The newspaper quoted one person saying how she loved coming to this event because, at least for one weekend a year, she can dress as she likes and not feel like an outcast.

Today was an Androgyny Day for me… a day when I had to go out and not set off alarm bells, even as I wanted to be a girl. 
I have made a point in the past of explaining how I really prefer to keep the genders separate, both in my own way of being and in the people to whom I am attracted.
I never seek to come off as a feminine male or a masculine female, so this exercise may come off as seeming to be a bit contradictory.

Tgirls go through a lot to make themselves look feminine, but I have discovered one little trick that takes only a few seconds, is completely painless, costs nothing and makes an appreciable difference.
Fortunes have been made on stupider ideas (bagel slicer anyone?) but I’m giving this one away!

Now that we are women to one degree or another, I suppose that we must join the line of Oprah sycophants.
To help out in this womanly pursuit, herewith are Oprah’s makeup O-wards, “Flawless Skin” category:
Concealer:
Neutrogena SkinClearing Blemish Concealer ($10; drugstores) CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Concealer ($11; drugstores), both of which have salicylic acid, which fights pimples and is a chemical exfoliant. The Covergirl product contains Olay’s Regenerist serum which softens lines and masks dark circles.
Bronzer: Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Bronzing Powder ($35;Macys.com) They were particularly enamored with the color: golden, not muddy, without a speck of glitter.

We CDs are often preoccupied with the boobs we don’t have, and I think that’s a shame.
I, for one, have dropped the whole thing for the most part. I have noticed that many supermodels have precious little in the breast department, and clothes fit best on them.
My own GF, who is well-endowed to say the least, is jealous of how clothes hang on me.
So, don’t fret.
