Again, all five photos posted today were taken during a drive to a ghost town, SE of Calgary, on 18 July 2020. I am adding the description that I wrote under a previously posted photo taken on the same trip.
"Yesterday, 18 July 2020, was such a beautiful day and a very rewarding one. My destination was, for me, an exciting one - an old ghost town that I had never seen before. A long, return drive of 454 kilometres on a pretty hot day was needed, in order to check out this new location. In order to do a long drive like this, I need to do it when the evenings stay light as late as possible, to make sure I don't have to drive in the dark. Completely tired out at the end of the day, but it was a good tiredness - and, more importantly, a journey that made it so easy to physically distance.
My favourite kind of day always includes a bit of everything - old barns, birds, landscapes, skies, wildflowers, and anything else. This day delivered most of those treats.
Leaving home by 8:30 am (later than I had hoped), most of my drive was highway travel. Not my favourite, but kind of necessary in order to get so far. Roads were fairly empty, which always makes a drive more pleasant, especially when I know I might want to stop to take a photo at any time.
It was definitely a Meadowlark day and it was nice to see one of them with a beak absolutely full of insects for its babies. Other birds included a few familiar species, but ones that are always good to see. I saw one Common Nighthawk this time, unlike the five I saw recently, but one is always enough and greatly appreciated.
Once I got into unfamiliar territory, I had to travel quite a distance before seeing any new-to-me old barns or homesteads. Found the first ones before I reached my destination. Once I reached the ghost town, I thoroughly enjoyed wandering around, taking photos. It is only a small place with a handful of old buildings, but very nicely kept. One of its main buildings is a small, country United Church, kept in great condition both inside and out. I had read online beforehand that people can go inside the church and sign their Guest Book, otherwise I probably would not have gone in. Really liked the door knobs to the front door.
From there, I took more or less the same route home, stopping only to photograph a few birds en route. I arrived home at 8:30 pm, with a smile on my face and eyes that were still open, thanks to taking some black coffee with me in case of emergency (i.e. unable to keep my eyes open!)."

The make-up collection and working palette from the incredible and calm Stormi. Used to create her magic.
"spun" off from my motherboard clock, I decided to turn an old hard drive into a clock too. It originally had two disks, but the clock wouldn't have fit, so I just used one. It's on my wall next to my motherboard clock; the original idea was to "connect" them via an ide cable, but the plug on this is no longer there...
Inspirada totalmente no make da minha musa Hayden Pattienere, eu fiz essa produção para um casamento que fui no sábado. Meu vestido era preto e meus acessórios dourados.
Eu gostei bastante e vcs?
Eu usei esse tutorial aqui: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgF6l9FCmk4
Fiz tudo como ela fez, mas carreguei um pouco mais no satin taupe.

As a transvestite I enjoy looking at female clothing styles, make-up techniques, hairstyles and women’s shoes. I am influenced by women who are dressed more formally in suits, tailored shirts, elegant court shoes and wear make-up more formally for their work. One such look I love is the television presenter, they always wear full make-up, have their hair styled nicely and wear elegant stylish clothing.
As I’m a man that enjoys dressing up as a woman I simply cannot resist attempting to create the appearance of such a woman. I am aware we all have our own motivations for cross-dressing. My own approach being I seek to try and pass convincingly as I can, I fail in my aspiration but I endeavour to do my best. My ambition is to be seen as female and nobody is aware I am really a man, what a thrill that would be!
I am guilty of posting a variation on this picture a few months ago but I saw it again this week and this version is a closer portrait shot. I believe that trying to look female facially is the biggest challenge we face as transvestites. It is relatively easy to get the body shape as one can employ techniques such as shaving legs, wearing breast forms and hip shapers and choosing dresses, skirts and heels that are very feminine and flattering. The face though...well, we are stuck with what we have so what can be done?
As a man I have a very dark beard shadow and my normal eyebrow shape is thick and bushy with no real shape at all. For the last ten years I have been plucking my eyebrows to be more shaped and defined and reduce the density of the number of the hairs. Nobody appears to have noticed this. In fact people I’ve not seen for a long time often say I’m somehow looking a bit younger. Never underestimate how much effect a nicely shaped eyebrow can have. I don’t like super thin eyebrows and feel a nice tidy shape is better. My current eyebrow plucking seems to work okay in both male and female modes. I may have them defined a bit more if I’m going to record a video as Helene or planning a photo-shoot.
My method for disguising the fact I’ve plucked a bit neater than usual is I let my beard grow for a few days then I pluck my eyebrows or have them waxed into a neater shape at a salon then I shave off the beard. People just assume I look tidier after the scruffy beard stubble.
I require a lot of foundation make-up to cover my beard shadow as even after an ultra close facial shave the dark shadow is present. I don’t mind wearing heavier make-up as I enjoy make-up and like the effect it has upon my confidence, I feel good and better in make-up. I have a weak looking face for a man which helps my efforts to look like a woman as I have no strong facial features and a weak looking chin. This suits me and I am grateful I’m not very masculine.
The secret to getting make-up to work is placing it wear it works. This maybe to bring out an aspect or to reduce an area so it is less noticeable. Too many people, including many real women, just put make up on without ever considering how to use it to enhance ones features. Transvestites love to put on make-up that often is too much as it all at one level leaving the features one has that would look at their best to be hidden in this dominant all over make-up approach.
One should ensure the whole face looks nice and even and softer so much effort needs to be put into applying foundation properly to achieve this. Once the foundation is complete and looks soft and smooth one should aim to enhance their best feature not go mad and try and enhance everything. In my case I have no real cheekbones to make use of, my lips are not nice being very thin and my top lip virtually non existent. For me I was left with only one facial feature I could make use of and this was my eyes. My eyes are not very nice either so I use make-up to try and rectify that and add a bit more a feminine eye shape.
A common mistake is to put eye-liner right around the whole eye. An effect on most people (Male and female) it makes their eye look smaller. The aim is to open up the eyes and make them more feminine. To this end one needs to lift the eye. As our eyes are set in position an illusion of the lift and feminine shape can be added by making the upper eye and lashes stand out more. In this picture because I don’t have feminine eyelashes I am wearing false eyelashes on my upper eye. To finish the upper eye look I have eye-liner drawn from the inner upper corner out to the edge of my eye. I have also used brown shades of eye-shadow with a lighter brown in the arch of my eyebrow to make it stand out more. I also lightly pencilled my eyebrows to give them more definition.
On my lower eye I have eye-liner drawn on from the outer edge but only two thirds of the away across. the line should be thicker at the outer edge and get very thin at the end. The effect is a more feminine, more open eye that looks softer.
As my lips are not attractive they are played down against the eyes. Soft pink lipstick with lip gloss gives them a presence but helps my eyes stand out more. A bit of softly applied blusher on my undefined cheeks adds a bit of colour and healthiness to my face.
To maintain the look I am aware that shorter wigs look better on my facial shape and so produce a result that is more convincing. I like contemporary short female hair style with the hair not just flat as the wig typically is straight out of the box. This short wig was back combed and fluffed up to add more volume and that contemporary feel. It was the liberally sprayed with hair spray to maintain its shape.
I do not have pierced ears so I chose clip on hoop ear rings which can look quite convincing but be aware, they fall off easily if your hand or hair brush catches them
To completely get into the character I was portraying I chose a fitted trouser suit. This required a genital tuck as the fit was tight, and I wore a bra in which I placed my breast forms. I thin wore a plain fitted lycra t-shirt and donned the suit jacket. I chose a pair of burgundy stiletto pointed court shoes with 4 inch heels and as a final flourish painted my nails with pink nail varnish and dabbed on some perfume.
I was finally Helene the woman! I was now ready to walk on set and do my interview.
I have no real idea if I succeeded in my efforts to create the female look, I put my all into it but when one is a middle aged bald man with a dark beard shadow one cannot quite disguise all of this. It is a delight and real thrill to be a man and dare to attempt becoming a woman. I really enjoyed filming the interview. The interview with with another T-girl and was posted on You Tube for awhile but unfortunately it had to be removed due to a change in her circumstances. It’s not always easy being a transvestite but it certainly is an amazing experience and feels fantastic.
Here are the Barbies I took care of this weekend ^^ the description of each one will arrive tonight cause it's not easy on the phone :S
I'm here, I'm here :P
So from left to the right, downward ^^
-Barbie Moovin Groovin : I had her in a really big lot, for maybe 10cents, her hair was horrible, almost grey cause of the dirtiness :S She stayed in my box of "Dolls for sell" for a long time, but finally I decided to keep her, so I straighted her hair and put her on a new Dress ^^
-Barbie Glitter Beach : Found her in a big lot too, I keep her cause she was the China version of this doll, I had Indonesia and China one ^^, She was wearing a short from one of the fashion pack from the Glitter Beach line, but it's cold here so I washed her hair (straighted too) then put her in a dress ^^
-Generation Girl Barbie wave 1 : This doll has a long story behind her ^^ I saw her the first time at a flea market in 2008 but I didn't bought her cause she was naked and at the time I didn't liked naked Barbie, and 2 years later at another flea market, the same man were still selling this doll so I finally bought her, I was... Happy to see that she was waiting for me lol :D
-California Girl Barbie : I had... 5 of her since I begin collecting, but just keep 3, my original one, another one in a fashion pack and this one, I planned to sell her but her hands are destroyed so... I gave her a nice dress and she will stay with me ^^
-Butterfly Art Barbie : This doll was my first Butterfly Art but her hair were... Not good, I mean, you know normally Barbie BA has waves on her hair and they were straight, so I tried to sell her, but as nobody wanted her, I kept her, straighted completely her hair and give her some cute clothes :P
-Barbie Ocean Friend : It's hard to find a cool hairstyle for that girl, she doesn't have bangs or line in her hair, and her legs are black so it's not easy to find her a dress too
But that's not my habbit to give up, and finally I'm happy of how she looks now :D
-Barbie SuperStar : My (second) Nylon hair version of Barbie Superstar, I found her at a flea market, with other dollies for 50cents, her hair are cut on the right side (or maybe it's original??) but she looks really cute ^^ Here she's wearing a mix and match of different Barbie clothes
-Barbie Super Talk : This doll is completely broken, her hair are cut really short and impossible to style, her neck is destroyed so I had to put a stick in her head to keep it into place BUT she can still talk, it's the good part, I have 3 of her, I love talking dolls, I don't know why ^^
-Courtney Babysitter : She's a gift from one of my aunt's friend ^^ it's so nice, even if this doll has cut hair and broken neck it's a gift so I love her ^^
Which one is your favorite ??
