Pretty TGirls Magazine - April 2007 page 4 An Interview With Christina Marie Question: When did you first start crossdressing? Christina: I was about 15 or 16 at the time when I first started to crossdress. Question: Describe your early experiences dressing as a girl. Christina: My sister was getting married and one of her bride’s maids gown was in my room, along with the heels. I was curious about it and decided to try on the shoes. The shoes fit perfectly and it didn’t take me long to figure out how to walk in them. Then I just wanted to try on the gown. I stripped and then slipped it on. It was such a rush. It didn’t feel wrong when I did it. I felt complete as though I was meant to be like that. After that, I just wanted to try on other things. That took time though. Question: At what age did you start using make-up and wearing wigs? How did you learn how to apply make up? Any tips for other TGirls? Brand of make up you use? Christina: I started using makeup and a wig when I was about 21. I always had an idea of what I like in a woman and I used that to create Christy. Long hair was a must. As for the makeup, I had to learn all on my own. My wife didn’t want any part in it really. I have always used Cover Girl, but have been dabbling in a little bit of everything now. As time passed I got a little better at makeup, but when I was 34 I met my friend Brenda though Tau Upsilon and she showed me what I could look like in short hair. I didn’t think I would look good. I was so wrong, and then I changed my name to Christina Marie, to go with the new look. As for Christina’s tips, the best way to find a wig is go there dressed with makeup on. It makes finding the right wig easer. Not to mention it is a lot of fun. The best way to find the right makeup is go to a MAC counter and get a make-over. If not, get a book on makeup like “Making Faces,” and practice, practice, practice. Pretty TGirls Magazine - April 2007 page 5 An Interview With Christina Marie … continued Question: If you had your choice, what do like wearing the most when being a girl? Christina: I like wearing everything, from the panties and bra to the dress. If I had to pick one, it would be a dress because that is what completes the look. Question: Now a bit of personal information ... What is your marital status? A sensitive area for some girls, but ... how old are you now? Does anyone know you are a TGirl? What country do you live in? Christina: I am a married T-Girl for over 17 years. I just turned 37 this month. As for who knows that I dress, everyone on my side of the family does, but my wife keeps it from hers. My family found out during a time when we were having marital problems. I didn’t want her telling my family before I did. It worked out great because they were all very accepting. And yes they did ask if I was gay right off. I told them I was when I am dressed as a woman. A complete lesbian! Even all my nieces and nephews know I dress. I live in Tucson, AZ. Lots and lots of fun in the sun! Pretty TGirls Magazine - April 2007 page 6 An Interview With Christina Marie … continued Question: Have you ever gone out as a girl? If so, tell us what the first time is like and how you feel being out in the world as a girl. Christina: I make it out at least twice a month if not more. I belong to a Tri-Ess organization called Tau Upsilon. A bunch of T-Girls get together to chat. The first time I went out of the house was about a week before Halloween years ago. The wife and I went as the opposite sex. I wanted to try a test first. So we dress up and visited the neighbours and see if they could help perfect it a little better. They did, and it was so fun. I remember being so nervous and just shaking in those 4 inch heels! I did like being the centre of attention for once. ☺ One guy actually thought my wife and I were lesbians. LOL It was such a fun Halloween!. Question: Have you ever gone through a purge of your female clothing? If so, can you tell us why? How did it make you feel? How long before you went back to being a girl? Christina: No, I never went though a purge. I heard TG’s do it all the time and that they end up starting all over again. I figured I would save money. If I ever have a problem, I just put everything up and then bring it back when I need it. It doesn’t take long though…I would be back dressing the next day. Question: What percentage of time do you spend as a girl? Christina: Once I dress and have makeup on I stay like that as long as possible, usually about 8-12 hours. Pretty TGirls Magazine - April 2007 page 7 An Interview With Christina Marie … continued Question: Have you ever considered moving towards becoming more of a girl physically with options like hormones, feminisation surgery, breast enhancements, or SRS? Christina: The older I get the more I want to be that girl I see in the mirror. Unfortunately family keeps me grounded. Being a parent takes a lot of time, and I can’t be selfish. I do what I can Question: Do you feel more like a boy or a girl now and why? Christina: I feel much more like a woman now. As the years passed, it went from a sexual thing to something that just felt and looked right in my mind. I spend a lot of time trying to perfect my image. Pretty TGirls Magazine - April 2007 page 8 An Interview With Christina Marie … continued Question: Have you ever dated or wanted to date another TGirl or a man? Christina: I have been out on a couple dates with men. It was so much fun to be treated like a lady. I wish I could do it more. ☺ Question: Do you have any advice for other TGirls, especially ones that have yet to venture out as a girl? Christina: The easiest way is to join an actual Tri-Ess group or some there group to make it easier to venture out. It just takes time to build confidence. Question: How is your life now as a TGirl? What's gone well and not so well? Christina: I am glad I have taken the time to actually express my femme side. If I didn’t, who know what might have been. I just wish my wife was more excepting and supportive, but I take what I can get. Pretty TGirls Magazine - April 2007 page 9 An Interview With Christina Marie … continued Question: Anything else you'd like to say? Christina: I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to interview me and I hope readers enjoy reading about my life.

According to Mintel’s UK underwear Retailing Report 2009, most customers plan on spending less on lingerie in the near future, because of their economic situations.

    PARIS INSPIRATIONS/8-10 CHANEL’S HELLEU DEAD AT 69/18 WWDWomen’s Wear Daily • The Retailers’MONDAY Daily Newspaper • October 1, 2007 • $2.00 Accessories/Innerwear/Legwear Texture Message MILAN — Versace provided a fi tting fi nish for the Milan spring collections. While many of Donatella Versace’s fashion looks were relatively toned-down, the stylized heels and richly textured bags she showed with them — like this one — were still notably dramatic. For more on accessories, see pages 6 and 7. Grueling Pace Aside, Buyers Praise Milan For Color, New Shapes By WWD Staff MILAN — A strong euro, snarled traffic and grim weather notwithstanding, retailers left Milan in high spirits thanks to a gust of fresh, colorful and feminine fashions. Buyers said they welcomed a shift from overt hard-edged sexiness to something softer and more romantic, with lots of floral prints and artistic touches. Collections by Dolce & Gabbana, Jil Sander, 6267, Marni, Fendi, Prada and Versace won wide praise, while ethnic-themed prints, transparency and full skirts of all lengths were cited among key trends.

A\^II.I.IAMS Volume I. THE SCIOTO Salt Springs JACKSON, OHIO 1900 1217096 PREFACE. The preparation of this work has been a labor of love. It was undertaken not for profit, but for the pleasure which I derive from the study of the past. I have been urged to write a complete his- tory of Jackson county. The material for such a work has been collected, but its publication will depend upon the reception ac- corded to this volume, which is devoted to the period from the advent of man to the sale of the Scioto Salt Springs. Jackson, O., May 22, 1900. INTRODUCTION—Jackson is the seat of justice of an Ohio county of the same name. It is situated on an eastern branch of the Scioto river, in latitude 39 degrees, 15 minutes, north, and longitude 82 degrees, 41 minutes and 48 seconds, west. It was laid out in 1817, on the north half of Section 29, in the Scioto Salt Reserve. This township had been set aside by Congress May 18, 1796, on account of the salt springs within its limits. These springs or licks, are as old as the hills, for that erosion which carved out the valleys between, exposed the strata from which they flow. They were discovered by the wild animals of the forest, and became one of their most favored resorts long before man appeared upon the earth.
