If he could not be made to look convincingly like a woman he was not going to do the movie. Does something sound familiar? How many of us are fearful of going out the door because we fear that others will recognize us as being a man dressed as a woman? The makeup artist did their magic on Mr. Hoffman and he did look very convincingly like a woman, but then he told them, “Now make me beautiful”. They told him this is as good as it gets. In the YouTube video Dustin said he wondered what would his life be like if he was born a female? Being seen as a woman is one thing, but how would things be different if we were actually born female? I think it is a question that we all ask ourselves. I remember reading where many years ago for a transsexual to get that letter for the surgery they had to invent a childhood as a girl. What would it have been like for me if I was born a girl instead of a boy? No doubt I would have been given dolls and toy kitchens to play with instead of trains and balls, and I guess rather than playing baseball I would have been playing something like hopscotch or jump rope. Like most boys I took my interest in things mechanical and went on to a career in electronics, but what if I was born female, what would my interest have been then? Would it have simply been to be a homemaker, or would I have gone on to become a nurse, or a secretary? I wonder in high school age what kind of boy would I want for a boyfriend. Would he be a jock on the football team, someone with bulging muscles, a nerd? What kind of man would I eventually marry? Someone with plenty of money, or a hard worker who spends more time and energy at the office, or someone who shows lots of affection for me, or would he be a total jerk? So many of us who are transgender, especially those who are transsexual wish that we could get pregnant. To me being pregnant one has a life growing inside of them, they are actually creating a life. But what if I was born female, what if I was pregnant would I still feel this way or would I be complaining about things like backaches, morning sickness, labor pains and other discomforts related to pregnancy? Dress our age…. Oh how pretty the clothes are for little girls. The clothes for little boys are simply a sized down version of what adult men wear, but for little girls the dresses are nothing like Mommy’s, they are far prettier. It seems that as a girl gets older the clothes become a little more simplified. Not as pretty as those for the younger girls. 5 Now there is one segment of our community known as “Adult Little Girls” where they dress as little girls age 6-10, play with their dolls and have things like tea parties with them and otherwise act as a little girl of that age. Just as we have our gatherings like Southern Comfort, they have something they call camp where they get together and play, and inside they would play those children’s board games like Candyland or the Barbie game, or color in their coloring books all while drinking hot chocolate. I can imagine the talk among them about school, their imagined Mommy and Daddy, and how nasty the little boys are to them. Yeah, if we were born a girl, what would our childhood be like? How would life be different for us then and how would life be different for us now? Now make me beautiful…. Hmmm, when a woman is getting ready for a date or to go someplace special, she has that pretty dress on, has spent much time doing her hair and makeup, and when finished she looks in the mirror, I wonder what she sees. Does she see herself as beautiful and pretty, or does she just decide this is the best it can get? The beauty industry makes millions telling women that they will not be beautiful unless they use this or that product. How much money is spent on diet products because the industry make the implication to women that only thin women are beautiful? And so I dream and wonder, what would life have been like, and how would things be different if I was born a girl? De-Puff Your Eyes with These Easy Remedies By Tara Rasmus Whew. Dear readers, tell us we're not the only ones that are a little partied-out right now. Between holiday traveling, eating, drinking, and socializing we're not looking as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as we'd like (especially when facing friends and family members that we don't see very often - hello, reunion time). When the going gets rough and the skin gets puffy, you may be tempted to shell out for the latest de-puffing cream or roller thingy in the hopes that it'll get your eye area back on track. Happily, there are a bunch of easy, simple, and natural tricks that you can do (almost!) for free, even if you're in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Read on for our primer in de-puffage - your in-laws will never know how many hot toddies you had last night. Avoid Salt One of the easiest ways to prevent eye puffiness is to watch the amount of salt in your diet. Avoiding fast food is an obvious one, but we've even seen a difference in our eye area when we overdo it on the soy sauce at a sushi dinner. This tip may seem obvious, but many processed and packaged foods contain a surprising amount of sodium, so read your labels and always opt for low-sodium if you can - or better yet, cook with whole foods so you can control exactly how much seasoning is in your food. If you do end up overdoing it with the salt (or alcohol, which can also contribute to puffiness in the 6 A.M.), make sure you glug a big glass of water before bed to flush things out. Cucumber Slices Even if you avoid the sodium and stay hydrated, sometimes allergies or sleep deprivation can still cause you to wake up with irritated eyes. When this happens, a great natural way to soothe your eyes is - you guessed it - cucumber slices. Hey, they're a cliché for a reason: cucumber's soothing qualities plus its high water content help put you on the fast track to a brighter visage. Simply slice up a cold cuke, lay the slices over your eyes, and relax for 10-15 minutes to reap the de-puffing benefits. Tea Bags If your puffiness is a little bit more severe, you could shell out for an expensive eye cream with antioxidants and caffeine added in. Or, you could just open your kitchen cabinet and use one of nature's remedies: tea! Both green and black teas have caffeine and antioxidant superpowers, but herbal teas can also be incredibly soothing. Simply steep two tea bags in hot water for a few minutes, allow them to cool, and then place one over each eye - and make sure to enjoy the aromatherapy while you're at it! Cold Spoons If your eyes are burning and itching due to an allergic reaction, cold spoons can constrict irritated blood vessels, reducing redness and swelling at the same time. Simply chill spoons in the refrigerator (for quick chilling, you can use the freezer, but make check the temperature of the spoons on the back of your hand to ensure they aren't too cold), and then place one over each eye, curved side down. The best part about this tip is that it requires no prep work - you can keep two spoons in the fridge so that they're ready to go anytime you need a quick pick-me-up.
