New Job
Yay! I got a new job that pays well. I start next Monday! Now I will squirrel money away to pay for surgeries. Blargh. I never would have thought I would look forward to elective surgery!
Breast Forms
I got my Breast Forms today. At about $90.00USD from Curves they’re on the low end of silicon forms and are really meant to help a lady add a few cup sizes– not create something where something isn’t. Nevertheless, they do work well enough to make you look like you have a pair of (rather perky) breasts! I also received an appropriately sized (38B) convertible pocket bra…it’s ‘k’ but nothing to get excited about. One of those gotta haves.
Tracey Lends Me Her Wardrobe
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned that I met Tracey, a cool transsexual like yours truly, at the last MCC support group meeting. She’s pretty far along (pre-op, but years on hormones and living full-time!) in her transition and has been very helpful in terms of offering advice, sharing books, and even sharing clothes! Now I have a nice simple wardrobe to wear around the house until money from my new job starts to roll in…nd breast forms to wear under them!
I Want An AWESOME Dress
My mission now is to find an awesome, expensive dress I can wear for my first time out in public. (Probably to see my therapist!) An A-Line dress with a V-neck and a thin line defining the waist. Or a wrap. Not sure yet but I’ll get back to you on this one!
:D Yay boobies!
Sounds like you found a good price! I pondered Curves, but ended up going with Pals Gel forms, and I’m really happy with them!
Hee.. go out and get the dress of your dreams. I did the same thing… A word of caution: it’ll take a little while for you learn what sort of clothes look good on you. We have a more unique frame than most women, usually. I promise you *will* own some things that only look good in your closet :) I’m still learning in the clothing department every day, myself.
Heya!
I’ll look at the Pals Gel forms as I’d like to see if I made a mistake buying the Curves.
From what little I know I need to focus on A-Lines and Wraps with a deep V-neck and a narrow band at the waist. I’m partial to Ann Taylor at the moment…if they have a good return policy I might try them.
What I’d *REALLY* like to do is go on a fashion vacation to Southeast Asia. Get fitted when you get there, have everything custom sewn while you soak in the local culture, and then try the rough cuts on before you leave. They mail you the clothes later! It’s not even that expensive if you count it as a vacation! :-)
