My Girls
Recently, I received the following request: While looking at your Avon Christmas party pictures, I noticed cleavage. Could you do a post on how to achieve it? I've tried but it never works for me. Thank you so much.
Up front (pun intended), I want to be clear that your mileage may vary because breast-wise I am naturally well-endowed for a male. I won't go into the reasons why I have feminine breasts because I don't know for sure myself, but I assure you that my girls fill a B-cup (and as a trans-girl, I could not be happier about those circumstances).
In the past, I used surgical tape to tape my breasts together and added makeup to create cleavage. It was very effective, but removing the tape was very painful and usually resulted in skin abrasions and minor bleeding that took days or weeks to heal.
I now use a painless method to create cleavage, which is just as effective. The key to my painless method is my bra, a Victoria's Secret Bombshell push-up bra. Victoria claims it adds two cup sizes and it is heavily padded to accomplish that feat.
The bra alone does not provide me with the cleavage you see above. I add breast forms to the mix, as follows:
I insert a breast form into a bra cup with one hand, lift my breast with the other hand and place the form under my uplifted breast. The uplifted breasts create the cleavage and the heavy padding of the Bombshell bra holds everything in place just like the surgical tape had done so in the past.
I have gone whole evenings without my girls moving out of place, but if there ever is any slippage, I can quickly lift my breast(s) back in place when I have a private moment (like in a stall of the ladies' room).
After my girls are in place, I add makeup, applying two shades of bronzer or powder. A dark shade adds depth to the shadows of the cleavage and a light shade enhances the front of the breasts to make them look more outstanding.
I apply the darker shade in the space between my breasts and sweep the powder upward and outward, creating a V-shape along the natural curve of the breasts, then I blend the powder until it looks like a shadow and not a strip of powder.
A little goes a long way, so don’t overdue it. You can always add more dark powder if needed; removing it is more difficult.
I apply the lighter shade to the front of my breasts and blend it back towards, but not all the way to the dark shade.
By the way, I made my own breast forms using a female impersonator's recipe: birdseed in a sock. (I actually used dried green peas instead of birdseed.)
1. Use birdseed to fill a thin sock (not a thick heavy sock) to the cup size you desire.
2. Tie off the sock as close as possible to the ball of birdseed.
3. Trim off any access sock and fold the remainder over the knot. Under a bra, the knot does a good job of emulating a nipple.
If you have any questions, I will gladly try to answer them. In the meantime, practice, practice practice and your fine work will proceed you.

More Femulating on Japan TV
Preface: The information contained in this post is based on sketchy information and includes some assumptions primarily due to the language barrier.
London Hearts is a Japanese practical joke reality television show that has been on the air for over ten years. According to Wikipedia, “It features ordinary members of the public who are 'set up' using actors and hidden cameras. It also features celebrities.”
Femulating was an ingredient of the show at least once.
In the episode photographed below, three males are meticulously dressed as women and presented à la The Dating Game to an unsuspecting male.

Put Me In, Coach
In March 2009, I won a drawing for one month of free life coaching.
To tell you the truth, when I entered the drawing, I had no idea what I was getting into. I kind of heard of life coaching in passing, but really did not know anything about it.
Since I had never had any counseling, I jumped at the opportunity to spill my guts to someone who would listen.
For one hour each week for one month, I met with my life coach on the telephone. One month turned into two months and two months turned into two years.
My life coach was wonderful. She listened as I talked through things and bounced ideas off of her. In the process, I drew myself out, discovered myself and began living as much as possible as the woman I am.
Life coaching may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it worked for me and I am forever indebted to the coach of my life.

Perfect Fit
Unlike purchases from other shoe sellers, the sizes of the Nine West shoes are consistent and I can depend on Nine West whenever I order shoes in my size.
Something I missed when I ordered the shoes was a silver "Love Fury" medallion located under the arch of the shoe (the medallion is visible in the accompanying photo behind the heel). The medallion adds a little blomng to an already attractive shoe.

New Year "Babes"
-1985.jpg)
Starla gifted me with 140 new femulation images that she found in online high school yearbooks. I uploaded the images to flickr and you can view them now.
To view all the new additions to the Yearbook Femulations Collection:
Method 1: Open one of the Yearbooks sets (A through Z) and you will find the newest uploads at the end/bottom of the set. (The oldest uploads appear at the beginning/top of the set.)
Method 2: Open my photostream and you will find the newest uploads at the top of page 1. The uploads get older as the page numbers get higher with the oldest uploads on the last page.
By the way, the contents of the Yearbook A through Z sets are organized according to school name, for example, the photos from Hard Knox High School would be in the Yearbooks H set.

The Riddle of Blush
I have two shades of blush that I use interchangeably. Both came to me when I had makeovers; the makeup artists recommended the shades for me and I took their word for it. After all, they were the experts and I went to them seeking their advice.
But how did they decide those shades suited me. I did not ask and I do not know.
Daily Makeover to the rescue! Their "How to Choose the Perfect Blush" uncovers the mystery and I recommend it to you if you are as blush clueless as I was.
