just got this in the mail today…

I get complimented on these glasses at least once a day, usually by total strangers. Sometimes multiple times a day. I feel like the world could end if I ever loose or break them…;-)

Heading home to NY…

hmmm… what do i do?…

somehow it’s not physical but emotional hurt that comes to mind when i read this sign…

came up on elevator with a group of black ladies who were really into my nails and impressed that they matched my glasses… “that’s how Elton John would do it!” one of them said:-)

the aforementioned emerald green nails…

new boots… finding feminine shoes that fit me has been a challenge… these boots came from Italy… my other shoe source is Ireland… is cross dressing more common in Europe?… are women bigger in Europe?… is Europe more willing to serve large size women?… all of the above?…

selfie from yesterday…

This seems particularly relevant to the present moment in history…

From this morning’s walk… Gallery display window with photographic art hanging on the wall.

One finds that there is beauty or at least interest in everything, seen with an acute enough eye. (And the aestheticizing of reality that makes everything, anything, available to the camera is what also permits the co-opting of any photograph, even one of an utterly practical sort, as art.) (Susan Sontag, On Photography)

Today’s look…

Trans person headshot. Dark blue thick frame glasses, red-orange lipstick, shoulder length hair, diamond studded headband.

From this morning…

So, the strawberries are normal to large size. The blueberries are giants. And swee too!

4 pint containers,  2 with strawberries and 2 with blueberries. Blueberries are unusually large.

I have been an author in two iterations of this program. This time I am the featured artist. Very excited.

My wife and I got our nails done today. I like having painted nails almost as much as I like wearing lipstick. Family nail care, priceless.

My look this morning…

A trans-feminine person with rainbow headband, green crystal frame glasses, long hair falling onto shoulders, subtle pink lipstick and glass bead necklace.

I like messy bulletin boards… makes the community seem vibrant.
