So, for new years I decided, on a whim, that I was going to wear make-up as part of my "formal attire" for the evening. lol It was the first time any of my friends or family have seen me in make-up before. I didn't warn anyone ahead of time and just said "F*#@ it" and made about 6 stops to different apartments and parties to meet up with as many people as possible. It was awesome! I got a lot of weird looks at first but nothing crazy. And except for the asshole downtown who bumped into me and called me the F word, it was a fantastic evening. My feet hurt from walking so much. Anyways, I'm not out as trans to many of my friends, but I am trying to get them used to me being more femme so it's not a huge shocker once I'm out all the way. I've uncluded a pic of me. It was a formal dress party I went to, hence the tie (ugh I can't wait to never have to wear one again!) ---------- Post added 3rd Jan 2012 at 10:21 AM ---------- gah how do I post a picture in text?
Rules of the board. You don't post pics of yourself anywhere but the album, and don't refer to them anywhere but in album thread in chat.
Here's the thread with the actual text of the rule in question: http://emptyclosets.com/forum/chit-chat/11902-posting-photos-yourselves.html ---------- Post added 3rd Jan 2012 at 03:33 PM ---------- And with that taken care of, congrats Glad it went so well for you. :icon_bigg(*hug*)
Lookin' beautiful, Dhamma! You accented your eyes very well, and didn't overdo it. And I agree about never wanting to wear a tie again! I'm glad people were (mostly) fine with seeing you in makeup.
You look great Dhamma! Yay for making steps towards being your true self! (And even if you don't like it...the tie is still super cute. Send it may way when you're done with it, k? :icon_bigg )
