How do you stack up?

This Week’s Tits

| Sep 5, 2007 | Reply

And by tits, I mean boobs. And by boobs, I mean gits. Which rhymes with tits. Which in this case means “people so frustratingly stupid you’ll want to pull your hair out by the roots, and then lay whimpering on the floor.”

What A Crock!

And I’m not talking about those damn plastic shoes, either. The problem with being a writer is that sometimes the ideas don’t come as quickly as you’d like. And sometimes they come faster than you can deal with. When the latter happens, you jot down some notes to hopefully use during the former. But, inevitably, […]

If you look at crossdressing, I think you’ll find a number of secondary benefits. Oh, sure, we learn how to walk in heels, and we’re sympathetic towards women because we know how high heels can hurt. We know how to coordinate an outfit. (Well, some of us do.) Many of us have learned to not […]

When does Marci Bowers find time to perform surgery?

| Aug 11, 2007 | Reply

I mean, c’mon! Every time I see a documentary on transgenderism, she’s in it—her and Jameson Green. Granted, they’re both excellent speakers, and great ambassadors, but isn’t there anyone else out there willing to be interviewed? At this rate, the world is going to believe the transgender world consists of Jameson, Marci and whoever she’s […]

The World’s Fastest Friend of TG’s

| Jul 30, 2007 | Reply

We rented The World’s Fastest Indian over the weekend. The movie, that is. The original is either in a museum or a scrap heap by now, I’m sure. Anyhoo… T-girls are popping up everywhere it seems. When you least expect it, there will be an actor in drag. And this movie is no exception.

From my ears, to your hips.

Or something like that. It was just over three years ago that I got my ears pierced. Both of them. I did it at Be-All in Chicago, after meeting a friend who had both hers done. Since that time, I’ve had remarkably little reaction. In boy-world, I’m a pretty straight-laced, clean cut, conservative-appearing fellow, so […]

The New York Times ran an ariticle about gynecomastia, the condition of enlarged male breasts. The article appeared in the June 14 2007 edition of the Times and included some surprising statistics about the prevalence of young men who are having breast reduction surgery to correct the affliction of “Man boobs.”

Stealth Shopping

Last week I was on a road trip in central Pennsylvania.

I was traveling in stealth mode, muy macho. As I got out […]

I’m Going Back Into The Closet!

Really, I’ve had it. I can’t live like this anymore. Some big changes have to be made. It started out small. A skirt here, a dress there. But now it’s out of hand! I’ve gotta get back into that closet and make some hard decisions.

Cosmetics for Men?

MSNBC.com had an article on cosmetics for men—and I don’t mean women’s cosmetics for transgendered men—in the April 19, 2007 edition. The article was written by Lauren Sherman. Her lead sentence began thusly: “Hey, men: Don’t be surprised if very soon your toiletry kit contains not only shaving cream, deodorant and toothpaste, but concealer, oil-absorbing […]

You’ve probably already seen the link in Allison’s blog, and read the newspaper story about the Cincinnati-area firefighter caught in a bikini in a city park.

Perhaps the only other people capable of as much shameless self-promotion as Donald Trump are presidential candidates. In order to be the leader of the free world, a candidate must constantly remind the great unwashed of how smart, forward-thinking, and generally awesome they are. Sometime before he became a presidential candidate, Rudolph Giuliani did a […]
