These are three of my favorite photos. The pink satin chiffon pose was taken at Southern Comfort Conference (SCC) in Atlanta in September 2013. The blue cocktail dress and faux white fur stole was taken at a T-girls house party in the Washington, DC area in November 2012. The houndstooth business suit pose was at my Orlando area social and support group meeting circa 2007.

Dear Stana,
ReplyDeleteThank You for your lovely blog. It is a wonderful resource. Thank You for posting my photos.
Happy New Year!
Love,
Sheila.
Sheila:
ReplyDeleteYou look great in every photo. The pink and the houndstooth look like they were made just for you - perfect fit.
Have a very Happy New Year.

Dear Rhonda,
DeleteThank You for the kind compliments. I met you and your wonderful cisgender lady friend at that house party in McLean, VA two years ago. The photo of me in the blue satin chiffon cocktail dress and white stole was taken in the recessed portion of our hostesses' living room. I'm sorry you were unable to attend the Keystone Conference in Harrisburg, PA back in March. I spent some time with Nikki Ames at that conference. She is a fabulous vocalist/performer who entertained us at that McLean house party.
I plan on attending the very first SCC (Southern Comfort Conference) not held in Atlanta. It's moving to the Ft. Lauderdale, FL area in late September/early October 2015. Perhaps you can attend that conference. Advance word is that it will be the best SCC ever.
Love,
Sheila.
Hi Sheila
ReplyDeleteI think the suit "suits you best but all 3 are very nice photos of which you're smile makes all three pictures even better! The faux fur is very elegant on you, and is not something I could do justice to. On another note, I had planned on attending the Keystone conference last year (my father passed away then) and hope to this year so perhaps we will have a chance to meet.
Best Wishes
Jeanine
Dear Jeanine,
DeleteThank You for the nice words. I'm sorry for the loss of your father. I won't be going to the 2015 Keystone Conference, but I loved it this year. It is very similar to SCC (Southern Comfort Conference).
Love,
Sheila.
I agree - the pink dress is both flattering and really up-to-date. You look lovely :o)

Dear Rhiannon,
DeleteThank You for the kind words. I love the pink dress. It's satin on the inner layer and shoulder straps, and chiffon on the outer skirt and bodice.
Love,
Sheila.
All three looks work well for you but I am a fan of the hound's tooth outfit.

Dear Pat,
DeleteThank You, sweetie. Unfortunately, I'm now 15 to 20 pounds heavier than I was when I wore the houndstooth suit. I can't fit into the skirt now, and the jacket's a bit too tight. The other 2 photos are closer to my current weight, so I can still wear those 2 dresses. I plan on attending my 6th Southern Comfort Conference (SCC) to be held in Ft. Lauderdale, FL starting in the last week of September. I'm going to try to lose 10 to 20 pounds by then; if so, I will be able to don the houndstooth suit then.
Love,
Sheila.
