Voyages in the Pink

Politics and Opinion / Transgender Life  Posted by / 2 comments

How fast a year goes by, but here we are again in January, and it is time for the 2nd annual “In the Pink Award.”

The inaugural award was an occasion of unabashedly debatable distinction, chronicled by media outlets far and wide… ahem… beginning and ending here, on my blog.

Quip as I might, it is entirely self-deprecating, with not a smidgeon of deprecation left over for the honoree.  My admiration and respect for the winner (and now winners) is utterly genuine and heartfelt.

Public School Crossdressing Day

Politics and Opinion / Transgender Life  Posted by / 2 comments

Item from the local paper:

“The student council at King City Public School thought a great way to celebrate “school spirit” day would be for the boys to dress like girls and the girls to dress like boys. But what began as an offbeat suggestion for a fun day quickly became fodder for an intense debate over family values, the psychological implications of cross-dressing and whether gender identity politics were being forced on young minds.”

Once this event came to the attention of a certain Reverend, who is described as “a staunch social conservative who has expressed concerns in the past about a “homosexual agenda” in the school system” it became a whole brouhaha over gender politics in the schools, and was quickly withdrawn, despite the principal’s insistence that it was the students’ idea.

Two and a Half Men (and a Tranny or Two)

What is it with Charlie Sheen’s popular sitcom and trannies?

Seems like every show, there’s a reference to us t-girls; sometimes entire episodes revolve around us.

For those who don’t know, Charlie Sheen plays Charlie Harper – a hard-drinking womanizer (basically himself) – who lives with his uptight brother Allan and nephew Jake at his Malibu beach-house.  The whole thing has an Odd Couple-esque ring to it.  The supporting cast includes his mother Evelyn, his maid Berta, his stalker Rose, his shrink, and an endless bevy of beautiful floozies.

The Evidence

It started with the very first scene in the very first episode.  Charlie’ girlfriend holds up a sexy negligee and ask him what he thinks.  His response: “It’s for you, right?”

The re-run I watched yesterday had one of Charlie’s old girlfriends returning after a FTM sex-change, seeking his friendship and instead finding sex and passion with Charlie’s mother.

Exclusive Spa

Item in the local paper today about beating the winter blahs:

Get naked at… a women-only spa… Indulge yourself with a 90-minute body wash: they exfoliate your skin with freshly-grated ginger,sugar and cardamom, then pour hot milk over your body… Close your eyes and suddenly you’re in Scandinavia.

Gosh, that would be nice!

But, alas, they’d never let me in there… it’s women-only.

On the occasion of the new year, I have been going through past photos and seeing how I have changed over time.

Here’s one from a few years back, when my hair was much shorter than it is now.

So tell me, do you prefer me with long hair, short hair or somewhere in between?
