Waiting to be picked up. Hope I haven't been left sitting on the bench!

Ms. Essay standing straight and small; very nearly petite ! !

Just waiting for midnight when the fireworks start. They always put on a spectacular display here in Chiang Mai!

For staffing the St. Louis Gender Foundation’s (StLGF) display and information booth at the June 18, 2022 Pride St. Charles festival in suburban St. Louis, Ms. Essay chose this mint-green bare shoulder top, long baggy white pants and color-matching heels.

This seated pose was captured soon after getting “put-together” and dressed at home.

The shoes were new and looked great with this dress...

Near the completion of her late October nail appointment, Ms. Essay was surprised by the nail stylist with a gift of a U.S. Misses Size 6 black jeweled party dress that had been worn by the stylist mother to a New Year’s Eve party many years ago. The dress was too small for the stylist to wear and knowing that Ms. Essay was a Size 6, the stylist gave the dress to Essay as a gift.

When returning home in late October, Ms. Essay put the dress on herself and found it fit perfectly. A photo was shared along with a promise to the stylist that Ms. Essay would wear this gifted dress to the next scheduled biweekly nail appointment in early November.

This pose in early November was captured in Ms. Essay’s townhome near the first-floor closet.

Creating a different visual view by walking straight towards the camera, Ms. Essay provides another perspective of how this faux leather pants / turtleneck sweater ensemble fits on her.

Soon after this photo was captured, she participated in the quarterly meeting via Zoom for the Exhibit Steering Committee of the Missouri History Museum’s Gateway to Pride collection,

My name is Julie, a transgender chick

Wanted a *****, was given a ****

I hide it in knickers of satin and lace

Before sitting down to make-up my face,

Next the prosthetics, I'm using two bits.

Stuck to my chest, they'll do as my ****

Now for my legs I'll put on false tan,

I wouldn't do this if I were a man

"Does my *** look big in this?"

For the October 2022 monthly evening dinner gathering of the St. Louis Gender Foundation (StLGF), Ms. Essay chose to wear this long-sleeve abstract pattern black dress. With her back towards the guest bedroom’s floor-standing mirror, Ms. Essay captured these direct and reflected images of herself with the aid of that mirror and her selfie-stick.

Ms. Essay took this photo to “frame” the view of herself on her smartphone’s camera in preparation for a January12th Zoom meeting convened by the Missouri History Museum.

I have not been taking as many pictures of myself this year hence the lack of updates.

On the first weekend in May, Ms. Essay scheduled a Saturday evening visit to a restaurant to see if it might be an appropriate venue to serve as a new site for future StLGF monthly dinner gatherings. Also on her schedule was a Sunday 2 p.m. Zoom meeting of the Board for the St. Louis Gender Foundation (StLGF) for which she has served as president since 2017.

For both weekend activities, Ms. Essay chose to wear this same red front-buttoned and belted sleeveless print dress. This Saturday afternoon pose shows Ms. Essay standing in her living room with the rays from the Sun clearly visible on the sofa and floor after passing through gaps in the venetian blinds.

So that means I was out and about in Indy. Dinner at English Ivy’s. My favorite spot. 😘️‍⚧️

Found some unposted pictures from my professional sessions...

During the course of five (5) consecutive weekdays, Ms. Essay uploaded to Flickr this series of photos related to an August 8th on-line meeting via Zoom. For that “virtual” meeting she wore a romper to test the notion that participants in video chats do not really know what other participants are wearing below the waist.

After the third (3 of 5) photo of this series was uploaded to Flickr, two (2) followers requested a seated pose of Ms. Essay wearing the romper. One follower asked generally for a cross-legged pose while seated, and the other follower wanted a seated pose specifically on the living room sofa.

Usually, Ms. Essay does not create new poses from requests, however, for these two specific requests the poses already existed as out-takes from the photos captured back in August. So, that requested seated pose on the sofa now appears here for that follower, and everyone else, to see.

For her bi-weekly nail appointment on a summer-like day in early May 2022, Ms. Essay chose her Misses Size 6 pink sleeveless empire-waist polka dot dress she purchased on-line from NorthStyle. In her closet Ms. Essay also has the same dress in the colors of medium blue and medium brown. The USA Size 8 ankle-strap high heels sandals by Vince Cumato were purchased at a Dillard’s department store.

Soon after getting dressed, Ms. Essay posed in front of the guest bedroom’s full-length floor standing mirror to check for any adjustments, such as an uncovered bra strap.

Getting ready for a mid week date. My first in a long while which was exciting....

🎄🎄Happy holidays and all that jazz. Hope you all have a fabulous holiday season whatever you're upto.🎄🎄 Special thanks to the amazing Rachel Hind for another lovely evening last night, and the opportunity to pose with a Christmas tree, as the McMinn residence is missing any such accoutrements 💋

Ms. Essay pauses a moment prior to departure from home to pose in front of the guest bedroom’s floor-standing mirror to capture a view of the dress she wore to the December 2021 dinner meeting of the St. Louis Gender Foundation (StLGF).

For the St. Louis Gender Foundation’s (StLGF) monthly evening dinner meeting that took place on Saturday, May 14th, Ms. Essay chose this black sleeveless and belted pin-dot dress she purchased back in 2017 and wore for only two occasions up to this point in time. A black pair of heels with a simulated snake skin pattern completed the ensemble.

While seated on the living room’s sectional sofa with a few minutes available before needing to leave her residence to travel to the dinner meeting venue, Ms. Essay captured this pose with her smartphone clamped to a camera tripod and set for a timed-delay exposure.

I have always had a fascination for the look of clear panel pumps. The white pair and the more recently purchased blue pair are the only two pairs of clear panel pumps I own.

My favorite LBD !
