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.

British television presenter and actress Sarah Greene joins artist Stephen B Whatley for a private viewing of his recently commissioned iconic portraits of the Princes William and Harry; recently published in HELLO! magazine. The paintings are on display by appointment for a short period at Argyll Etkin Ltd in Mayfair, London UK; before being shipped to their owners in the USA.
Sarah Greene is one of the most beautiful, eloquent, talented and sparkling personalities to have ever graced British television screens; the airwaves of radio and the British theatre. She first achieved fame and stardom in the early 1980s as one of the most popular presenters of the BBC TV programme,Blue Peter - which in 2008 has celebrated its 50th anniversary as the longest running childrens' programme.
Sarah was acclaimed for her natural delight and empathy with children which comes from her kindness of heart - as Stephen B Whatley found, touched by her beauty, when he painted her portrait in 1996 (Sarah went on to commission from Stephen a portrait - from photographs- of her husband, the acclaimed radio and television broadcaster Mike Smith as a Christmas surprise in 1997; and in 1998, a large riverscape view of the River Thames, which Stephen painted on location)
Sarah Greene has gone on to have an eclectic career in television, radio and the theatre (she has a natural apptitude for both drama and comedy) moving effortlessly from children's television into a colourful variety of documentaries, current affairs programmes and drama.
Most recently, during 2008 she has been heard broadcasting on BBC Radio London and interviewed in a recent BBC television special celebrating the 50th anniversary of Blue Peter and its stars- looking as radiant as ever.
In May 2008 Sarah Greene and her husband Mike smith were ever the glamorous couple in the limelight at The Sony Radio Awards ceremony in London. Sarah and Mike actually met in 1981 ; and in 1988 they made national news headlines when their private helicopter crashed, severly injuring them both. Happily they both survived.
Twenty years on they have been happily married since 1989; and ironically- given the near-tragedy they suffered- Mike Smith has gone on to forge an additional career in helicopters - he runs his company Flying TV, the UK's No.1 provider of aerial filming to major news and TV broadcasters - for which he is in great demand.
Sarah Greene is currently filming a pilot for a new series that is sure to be a hit when it reaches fruition- ever the adventurer, Sarah is sure to make her new inspired idea a hit on television in 2009.

30th September 2021 I was at the women in rail awards and managed to catch this photo of Naga Munchetty who was presenting the awards
This guy, from the boat club, presented all the classic race boats as they passed by. He also interviewed some of the owners. He had to guess on a few boats, as he didn't know anything about them, but claimed that it was because they were not members of the Heleneborg boatclub.

I won't say who won it 1st, or why.
But it wisnae me!!!! (The first time anyway)
P.S. Mellor forgot to mention his lounge wall covered in replica guns, so he can't be that anti-gun??
The Postcard
A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was posted in Great Yarmouth on Thursday the 7th. August 1924 to:
Miss A. Morton,
2, Hyde Park Place,
Bayswater,
London.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Just a card to let you
know we are having a
good time.
The weather is fair. I'm
at Yarmouth for the day.
Hoping you are quite
well.
From Edward".
Great Yarmouth
Great Yarmouth is a seaside resort and minster town in Norfolk straddling the River Yare, 20 miles (30 km) east of Norwich. A population of 38,693 in the 2011 Census made it Norfolk's third most populous place.
Its fishing industry, mainly for herring, fell steeply after the mid-20th. century, and has all but vanished. North Sea oil from the 1960's brought an oil-rig supply industry that now services offshore natural gas rigs. More recent offshore wind power and other renewable energy have created further support services.
Yarmouth has been a seaside resort since 1760, and a gateway from the Norfolk Broads to the North Sea. Tourism was boosted when a railway opened in 1844, which gave visitors easier, cheaper access and triggered some settlement.
Wellington Pier opened in 1854 and Britannia Pier in 1858. Through the 20th. century, Yarmouth was a booming resort, with a promenade, pubs, trams, fish-and-chip shops and theatres.
There is also the Pleasure Beach, the Sea Life Centre, the Hippodrome Circus and the Time and Tide Museum, as well as a surviving Victorian seaside Winter Garden in cast iron and glass.
Great Yarmouth in the Past
The town was the site of a bridge disaster and drowning tragedy on the 2nd. May 1845, when a suspension bridge crowded with children collapsed killing 79. They had gathered to watch a clown in a barrel being pulled by geese down the river. As he passed under the bridge the weight shifted, causing the chains on the south side to snap, tipping over the bridge deck.
Great Yarmouth had an electric tramway system from 1902 to 1933. From the 1880's until the Great War, the town was a regular destination for Bass Excursions, when 15 trains would take 8000–9000 employees of Bass's Burton brewery on an annual trip to the seaside.
During the Great War, Great Yarmouth suffered the first aerial bombardment in the UK, by Zeppelin L3 on the 19th. January 1915. That same year on the 15th. August, Ernest Jehan became the first and only man to sink a steel U-Boat with a sail-rigged Q-ship, off the coast of Great Yarmouth.
Great Yarmouth was bombarded by the German Navy on the 24th. April 1916. The town also suffered Luftwaffe bombing during World War II because it was the last significant place Germans could drop bombs before returning home.
Nevertheless despite war damage, much is left of the old town, including the original 2,000-metre (1.2 mi) protective medieval wall, of which two-thirds has survived. Of the 18 towers, 11 are left.
On the South Quay is a 17th.-century Merchant's House, as well as Tudor, Georgian and Victorian buildings. Behind South Quay is a maze of alleys and lanes known as 'The Rows'. Originally there were 145. Despite bombing, several have remained.
Great Yarmouth was badly affected by the North Sea flood of 1953. More recent flooding has also been a problem, with four floods in 2006, the worst being in September. Torrential rain caused drains to block and an Anglian Water pumping station to break down. This caused flash flooding in which 90 properties were flooded up to a depth of 5 ft (1.5 m).
Great Yarmouth Sights and Amenities
The Tollhouse with its dungeons, dating from the late 13th. century, is one of Britain's oldest former jails and oldest civic buildings. Major sections of the medieval town walls survive around the parish cemetery and in parts of the old town.
Great Yarmouth Minster (The Minster Church of St Nicholas, founded in the 12th. century as an act of penance) stands in Church Plain, just off the market place. It is the third-largest parish church in England, after Beverley Minster in East Yorkshire and Christchurch Priory in Dorset.
Church Plain also has the 17th.-century timber-framed house, in which Anna Sewell (1820–1878), author of Black Beauty, was born.
The market place, one of the largest in England, has been operating since the 13th. century. It is also home to the town's shopping sector and the famous Yarmouth chip stalls. The smaller area south of the market is used as a performance area for community events.
The Scroby Sands Wind Farm of 30 generators is within sight of the seafront. Also visible are grey seals during their breeding season. The country's only full-time circus, the Hippodrome Circus, is just off the seafront.
The Two Piers
Great Yarmouth has two piers, Britannia Pier (which is Grade II listed) and Wellington Pier. The theatre building on the latter was demolished in 2005 and reopened in 2008 as a family entertainment centre, including a ten-pin bowling alley overlooking the beach.
Britannia Pier holds the Britannia Theatre, which during the summer has featured acts such as Jim Davidson, the comedian Jethro, Basil Brush, Cannon and Ball, Chubby Brown, the Chuckle Brothers and the Searchers. It is one of the few end-of-the pier theatres surviving in England.
Great Yarmouth Winter Gardens
Great Yarmouth Winter Gardens (on the left) is a Grade II* listed building in Great Yarmouth, England. It was built of glass and iron in Torquay over the course of three years, starting in 1878.
It was moved by barge to Great Yarmouth in 1904, purportedly without the loss of a single pane of glass. Over the years, it has been used as ballroom, roller skating rink and beer garden.
In the 1990's it was converted into a nightclub by Jim Davidson, and has since been used as a family leisure venue.
In 2018, it was named among the top ten endangered buildings of the Victorian and Edwardian eras in a survey released by the Victorian Society.
In July 2021 it received a £10 million National Lottery Heritage Fund grant in order to support its repair and reopening.
The Marine Parade
Great Yarmouth's seafront, known as 'The Golden Mile' attracts millions of visitors each year to its sandy beaches, indoor and outdoor attractions and amusement arcades.
Great Yarmouth's Marine Parade has twelve Amusement Arcades within 2 square miles. Their names draw heavily on Las Vegas and include: The Flamingo, Circus Circus, The Golden Nugget, The Mint, The Silver Slipper, The Showboat, Magic City, Quicksilver and The Gold Rush.
In addition to the two piers, tourist attractions on Marine Parade include Joyland, Pirates' Cove Adventure Golf, Yesterday's World, the Marina Centre, Retroskate, the Arnold Palmer Putting Green, the Sea Life Centre, Merrivale Model Village and the Pleasure Beach and Gardens.
The Great Yarmouth Floral Clock
Alas, the clock in Marine Parade is no more - it had to be removed in 2005 following repeated attacks by mindless vandals.
The Yarmouth In Bloom group, who had regularly planted flowers and attended the displays, were dismayed by the continual trampling of plants and breakages to the clock hands, and decided that enough was enough.
The Venetian Waterways
In August 2019, the Venetian Waterways and gardens re-opened. The waterways, running parallel to the main beach, were a feature constructed as a work-creation scheme in 1926–1928, consisting of canals and formal gardens, with rowing boats, pedalos and gondolas.
The waterways had been allowed to silt up, decay and become abandoned. With a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund of £1.7 m and the labour of volunteers, the flowerbeds have been restored with 20,000 plants, and the 1920's cafe has been restored. That and the boat hire are being run by a social enterprise.
The Nelson Monument
The South Denes area is home to the Grade I listed Norfolk Naval Pillar, known locally as the Britannia Monument or Nelson's Monument. This tribute to Nelson was completed in 1819, 24 years before the completion of Nelson's Column in London. The monument, designed by William Wilkins, shows Britannia standing atop a globe holding an olive branch in her right hand and a trident in her left.
There is a popular assumption in the town that the statue of Britannia was supposed to face out to sea but now faces inland due to a mistake during construction, although it is thought she is meant to face Nelson's birthplace at Burnham Thorpe.
The monument was originally planned to mark Nelson's victory at the Battle of the Nile, but fund-raising was not completed until after his death, and it was instead dedicated to England's greatest naval hero. It is currently surrounded by an industrial estate but there are plans to improve the area.
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens used Great Yarmouth as a key location in his novel David Copperfield and described the town as 'The finest place in the universe'. The author stayed at the Royal Hotel on the Marine Parade while writing the novel.
Great Yarmouth Museums
The Norfolk Nelson Museum on South Quay houses the Ben Burgess collection of Nelson memorabilia and is the only dedicated Nelson museum in Britain, other than one in Monmouth. Its several galleries look at Nelson's life and personality, and at what life was like for men who sailed under him.
The Time and Tide Museum in Blackfriars Road was nominated in the UK Museums Awards in 2005. It was built as part of a regeneration of the south of the town in 2003. Its location in an old herring smokery harks back to the town's status as a major fishing port.
Sections of the historic town wall stand opposite the museum, next to the Great Yarmouth Potteries, part of which is housed in another former smoke house. The town wall is among the most complete medieval town walls in the country, with 11 of the 18 original turrets still standing.
Other museums in the town include the National Trust's Elizabethan House, the Great Yarmouth Row Houses, managed by English Heritage, and the privately owned Blitz and Pieces, based on the Home Front during World War II.
Kenneth Kendall
So what else happened on the day that Edward posted the card?
Well, the 7th. August 1924 marked the birth of the British journalist and TV presenter Kenneth Kendall.
Kenneth Kendall worked for many years as a newsreader for the BBC, where he was a contemporary of fellow newsreaders Richard Baker and Robert Dougall. He is also remembered as the host of the Channel 4 game show Treasure Hunt, which ran between 1982 and 1989, as well as the host of "The World Tonight" in the 1968 science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Kenneth Kendall - The Early Years
Kenneth Kendall was born in British India where his father, Frederic William Kendall, who died on the 30th. May 1945, worked. He was brought up in Cornwall.
Kenneth was educated at Felsted School in Essex, England. He read Modern Languages at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, for one year before being called up to the British Army.
Kenneth Kendall's Military Service
Kendall joined the Coldstream Guards where he was commissioned as a lieutenant. He arrived in Normandy ten days after D Day but was wounded about a month later.
In 1945, he was among 100,000 British military personnel sent to Palestine. In 1946 he was demobilised from the Guards as a captain.
Kenneth Kendall's Broadcasting Career
After leaving the army, Kendall returned to Oxford to complete his Modern Language degree. He had hoped to join the Foreign Office, but instead joined the BBC in 1948 as a radio newsreader.
In 1954 he transferred to television. Although he was not the first newsreader on BBC television, in 1955 Kendall was the first to appear in front of a camera reading the news.
As he was employed on a freelance basis by the BBC, he also worked as an actor for a repertory company based in Crewe, and briefly at the menswear retailer Austin Reed in Regent Street, where he met actor John Inman and offered him a job in the Crewe theatre company.
Kendall became known for his elegant dress sense and was voted best-dressed newsreader by Style International, and No. 1 newscaster by Daily Mirror readers in 1979.
Kenneth left the BBC in 1961, and from 1961 to 1969 was a freelance newsreader, working occasionally for ITN and presenting Southern Television's Day By Day.
He appeared as himself in the Adam Adamant episode "The Doomsday Plan", in which he is kidnapped and impersonated. He also appeared in the Doctor Who serial "The War Machines".
Kenneth Kendall - The Later Years
Kenneth rejoined the BBC in 1969, and finally retired from news reading on the 23rd. December 1981.
Kendall's retirement allowed him to work on the popular Channel Four programme Treasure Hunt throughout its first run (1982–1989). The series featured Anneka Rice as a "Skyrunner". He also presented the television programme Songs of Praise.
Soon after retirement from news reading, Kendall lent his voice to the BBC Micro as part of Acorn Computers' hardware speech synthesis system.
In 2010 he took part in BBC series The Young Ones in which six well-known people in their 70's and 80's attempt to overcome some of the problems of ageing by harking back to the 1970's.
Kenneth Kendall's Personal Life
Kendall lived in Cowes on the Isle of Wight with his partner Mark Fear, whom he had been with since 1989. Fear was the owner of a marine art gallery and was also a beekeeper. The couple entered into a civil partnership in 2006.
The Death of Kenneth Kendall
Kenneth died in Cowes on the 14th. December 2012, following a stroke a few weeks earlier. He was 88 years of age when he died.
On the 29th. April 2013, his partner Mark Fear was found hanging from the bannisters in the house that they had shared. An inquest concluded that he had committed suicide because he was overcome by grief.
