I am in the process of revising the Famous Females of Height List.
In addition to adding yesterday's new additions to the list, I changed its format. Before, all the females of the same height were listed in one unwieldy paragraph. Now, each female appears on a separate line.
I am also adding a very brief biography to each female in the list (this will take some time to complete).
Finally, where applicable, I am adding a note about any transgender connection to the listed female.
Check it out.
To date, this is the longest/tallest update to our Famous Females of Height List due mainly to SoCalSecrets' alert to me about another list, Actresses over/Heigth [sic] of : 5'9'' / (1,75m) on the IMDB website.

I am still working out the kinks in the video version of our Femulate Her feature, so please bear with me.
As I mentioned in a comment yesterday, you need the free Adobe Flash Player installed in your web browser in order to properly view the video. (You can get Flash Player here.)
Also, I successfully tested the video playback with three different browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) on two different platforms (Windows XP, Mac OS X), so if yours is one of those and the video still stinks, the problem may be at your end. I suggest updating your web browser if it is not current.
Speaking of kinks, I was a big fan of the British Invasion (the rock 'n' roll version, not the Revolutionary War version) and The Kinks were one of my favorite groups from that era. I had all their records, but when they came out with "Lola," I was embarrassed.
Every time that song played while I was in the presence of anyone who potentially had an inkling about my interest in crossdressing, I was sure that the other person must be thinking about me dressing up.
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, but I still react the same way to that tune.
Go figure!
By the way, in the "you learn something new everyday" department, I always thought that Marilyn Monroe was the model for the May 1965 Esquire magazine cover shot (see above). Turns out that it was not Miss Monroe, but rather Italian actress Virna Lisi.

I have three words for today: finished hanging gutters
You cannot imagine how difficult it is hanging gutters in high heels and a cocktail dress!
Anyway, that post-winter task is finally done just two days before the first day of summer. And this year, two days before summer means that I have three more words:
Happy Father's Day!
Dear Stana,
Where do you buy your wigs? (I cannot find the article in which you discuss the topic.)
Amy
Hi Amy,
I don't recall discussing the topic.
Anyways, in person, I buy my wigs at Tonkin's Wigs & Millinery in Waterbury, CT (481 Wolcott St., phone 203-753-1355)
Via the Internet, I buy my wigs from Name Brand Wigs.
By the way, I prefer Noriko brand monofilament wigs.
Best Wishes,
Stana

Reading Genderfork today directed me to the photography of JJ Levine, "a Montreal-based artist, who works in intimate portraiture... Levine works mostly in photography and video, and through these visual media, explores issues surrounding gender, sexuality, self-identity, and queer space."
I found Levine's Alone Time and Switch portfolios fascinating.
Alone Time is a series of photos portraying male and female couples involved in a variety of mundane and not-so-mundane activities. The catch is that the male and female in each couple is the same person. In most cases, I cannot determine if the person portraying the couple is natal male or female.
Switch is similar, but different. It portrays young male and female couples posing in prom wear. Each couple appears in two photos, side-by-side (as above). In one photo, one half of the couple wears male clothing and the other half of the couple wears female clothing. In the other photo, they switch; the person who wore male clothing in the first photo now wears female clothing and the person who wore female clothing in the first photo now wears male clothing.
I believe I figured out who was natal sex-wise in this set of photos, but it is so well done that I would not be surprised if I erred.
JJ Levine has other portfolios on the website; some trans-related, some not, but all are wonderful.
Enjoy! (I know I did.)

Yesterday, Fashionista wrote about Valentijn de Hingh, the trans model I mentioned here on Saturday. This new article has more information about Valentijn than The Huffington Post article (like she is 6’1” not 5’11”), so you might find it interesting.
If not, c'est la vie!
The Huffington Post reports that "Valentijn de Hingh is another gorgeous transgender model rising through high fashion's ranks.
"Having recently shot an editorial for Love magazine with Patrick Demarchelier and a video for Vogue Italia, the leggy (5'11") Amsterdam native is returning to the spotlight after spending almost ten years as the subject of a documentary on transgender children."

"Posing arm in arm, teenager Hannah Whetton and her mum Carol look like any loving mother and daughter.
"They enjoy going clothes shopping together and share make-up tips.
"But for the first 16 years of her life Hannah was Arron, Carol's son."

The caption of today’s “The Femulated” should be 1895, not 1985.
I will fix it as soon as I can, but I can’t now (although I can publish this post all about it!)
I opened the box and found a pair of Consuelos inside that looked as nice in person as they looked on the Shoe Dazzle website. However, they looked too small and I doubted that they would fit. (The largest size that the Consuelos came in were 11, so it was this pair or nothing.)
I took off my sneakers and socks, slipped on a pair of knee-highs, then slipped on my new shoes. I was very surprised; they fit perfectly!
I wore my new shoes for about an hour and my feet felt fine from beginning to end. And I did not get a nose bleed from the higher altitude.
These heels are high! I took out a ruler and found that the inside of the heel is almost 4 inches high and the back of the heel is a sky-scraping 5-1/2 inches high. There is also a 1-1/4-inch platform. Despite the height, I had no problem walking in these very high heels.
The overall Shoe Dazzle package is very nice. It included a cloth bag to carry and/or store the shoes.
The shoe box itself is not your father's shoe box. Rather, it consists of one box that serves as a “drawer” that slides inside another box that serves as “cabinet.” A finger hole in the “drawer” makes it easy to slide one box out of the other.
The only negative thing was that this box was loose inside the shipping box and was banged up upon delivery, although its contents (the shoes) were no worse for wear.
Overall, I am very pleased with my Shoe Dazzle order and give it two big toes up!
According to Reuters, "A Mexican man suspected of fraud was so keen to evade the law that he had surgery to make himself look like a woman."

The only mobile device I own is my Subaru, but yesterday, Blogger offered me an option to provide this blog in a format that is suited for mobile devices. I accepted their offer, but have no idea if it works because my Subaru does not do the Internet.
If you use a mobile device to read this blog, let me know if you noticed the difference and if so, is it an improvement.
I buried the link to the text of Connecticut's transgender protection law in a comment. In case anyone is interested, I am making the link more visible by providing it here.
