My Faves

There will undoubtedly be things that I grow to love as I discover more and more. Here is where I will keep a list of my favorites!

Chelsea Smith Cosmetics - I'm no expert in wigs. To be honest, I'm not sure I'm even wearing them correctly, but I'm learning. However, there are moments when you try something that you think, "Nope. I'm done. I've found the best." That moment for me was when my dear friend Amy had me try on some of the crowns (wigs) from Chelsea Smith Cosmetics. They were soft, functional, beautiful, and fit absolutely perfect. I ordered my own the next day! I can't recommend them enough.

'Taxation Without Representation': The death of the United States

Angela Weiss/AFP via Getty Images I'm a student of history. As a young woman in school, history was always the one class - with the exception of art and computer sciences - that I typically excelled at. One of the primary grievances the American Colonists had with England in the lead-up to the American Revolution was that they had no representation in the British government. Instead, they were ruled by a monarch half a world away. As I continue to digest everything that happened yesterday in Washington, D.C., I'm reminded of those words and how the colonists in the 1700's felt they were not represented by the government under which they lived. There are many things - if not outright all of them - that I strongly disagree with from yesterday, but I'm going to try (and fail) to focus on just one. In an email delivered to the White House press pool yesterday just prior to Mr. Trump taking the oath of office, this was at the bottom of a long list of "Day One" prio...

Studying History: The path we're one and why it scares the hell out of me

I never like comparing anything I go through to something someone else is dealing with. I'm infinitely guilty of saying to myself, "Others have it worse." In the same breath, I'm somewhat a student of history and can no longer deny what is right in front of us. (Fan-girl warning) To quote Gandalf The White: "The board is set, the pieces are moving. We come to it at last, the great battle of our time."  Every generation has their great battle, their struggle between good and evil, right and wrong. Christians will have you believe they are on the right side of history in the current war against the transgender community, using their holy texts as justification for the denial of basic human rights. Do you know who else made that argument, basing their hate in religion? In a flyer dating back to the second half of the 19th century , the Ku Klux Klan describes itself as "an Active Protestant organization with strong backing, insisting upon the unhampered mai...

Settling for less...

Image by  Markus Winkler  from  Pixabay This week has been hard. Hell, it's been hard since Jan. 20, but that's a whole other conversation. Since coming out as transgender in October, I've been relegated to wigs. In June 2024, I was bald - as in razor shaved head sitting on a beach bald. So it's been slow going getting my hair to grow out. Knowing how hair works, I knew I needed to get the dead ends cut off to keep it healthy and growing, but thought, "What if I can style it in a pixie and feel comfortable?" On Monday, I went to a La Ti Da Salon and got it cut. The lady who did it was really sweet, despite my consistent inability to sustain small talk. (That's a lifelong issue for me. I just don't know how to do it being socially awkward.) On Tuesday, I went to work with just MY hair. Additionally, my breast development has gotten to a point to where, with a fairly complimentary bra, I can go without my forms. So, for the very first time ever, I was ju...
