From Mail Online, 'He gets bullied but he's determined to be a performer': Proud mother tells of 14-year-old son's drag queen ambitions
Here is the rest of the story about a British teen's desire to trip the light fantastic in sequins, heels, and big hair.
I never uttered those thoughts when I was growing up, but I dreamed about taking the train into The City and apprenticing with a troupe of female impersonators.
At the time, I thought that my vocation would not sit well with my family, so I it remained a dream. However, in retrospect, I think my Mom would have been as supportive as the mother of Tom/Tamara. And my Mom was a great seamstress; ooh --- the fabulous outfits she would have created for me!
And so it goes (or so it went).
When as a child I was asked what do you want to do when you grow up I always seemed to know that "A Woman" was not the answer that was being looked for. Unfortunately for me Gardner didn't seem to be an acceptabe answer either
ReplyDeleteBack then ~ in the 1960s ~ we only sung that "The Times are A Changing". Things have changed quite a bit over the past half century. Today's young femulators can 'stand on the shoulders of giants'.
ReplyDeleteJust keep up doing what you do.

Hi, Stana!
ReplyDeleteI am a crossdresser and would like to take a course in makeup over the Internet. I already have some experience in the subject. I wanted to improve. So, I wanted a distance learning course through pictures of my results. I have good books, but still could not get those beautiful eyes that are possible to do. Do you know any online course self makeup? Oh, I love makeup! Kisses! And congratulations for the beautiful site!
