Friday Femulations

🎄  I have received a lot of fabulous holiday photos for the Femulator slot and began posting them today (in order received). If you have not yet sent me your holiday photo, there is still time to do so. Just follow the directions in Monday’s post.

🎄  Ty Deran has a very cool video that I highly recommend. Titled “Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health’s #CAREWITHPRIDE at Family Equality’s LA Impact: A Night of Heroes,” you can view it on YouTube.

🎄  Move a few letters around and “Stana” becomes “Santa” ...also “Satan.” (Yikes!).

🎄  Over the years, I received a lot of compliments about my legs. In fact, a transman acquaintance nicknamed me “Legs,” which is quite a coincidence because when she was an office girl, my mother was nicknamed “Leggy” in recognition of her shapely gams (like mother, like son). When it comes to legs, I am not very discerning and classify legs thusly: skinny legs, fat legs and all the legs in between. I will admit to falling in the “in between” group, but I do not see why my legs are considered more shapely than the others that are in between. Go figure (pun intended).

Getting Fit

In the past, I have complained here that after losing weight, many of my shoes are loose. 

Elegantly walking in heels is difficult if your stilettos are loose. I have tried various inserts to pad out my loose shoes, but they do not help much. They work if your shoes are slightly loose, but if your shoes are a size too big, then they are useless. The only fix is to purchase new shoes in a smaller size. 

Brick and mortar Payless is long gone and there are no stores around here that carry shoes in sizes that my feet require, so online shopping is the only option. But I have been leery about that option because I am not sure what size I need. I assume size 11-1/2 or 11 would fit, but who knows!

Online Christmas shopping last week, I decided to do some shopping for myself and at the top of my wish list were heels that fit. I searched Amazon and found a pair of patent leather stiletto pointed toe 2.5-inch mid-heel pumps by a company called Odernee.

I decided what they heck and ordered the heels in the nude patent color size 11 and they arrived two days later. I tried them on and was happy with the fit. They are comfortably tight and will not fall off my feet. 

And I was so happy with my purchase that I ordered another pair in black patent. (By the way, the shoes come in a huge variety of colors.)

’Tis the Season: You are invited!


Instead of photos of film and television femulations, I would like to feature some real life femulators in the “Femulator” slot below; that means you celebrating the holidays (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years, etc.). We did this last year during the holidays and many readers participated. So this is an invitation to send me your photo wearing your prettiest holiday outfit to be crowned “Femulator of the Day.” 

Just a couple of rules: 

1. Make sure your photo is ladylike, so nothing pornographic and nothing with too much skin showing.

2. Send me one photo – the photo you consider your best. If you send more than one photo, I will have to choose which one to publish and you may not like my choice.

3. Indicate how you want your name to appear in the caption: first and last name, just your first name or no name. 

4. If you have a blog or website, include its URL and I will include it in the caption.

5. If you are out and about in the photo, indicate what you are doing (e.g., “shopping at Macy’s,” “dining at the White House,” etc.). 

6. Send your photo to me via stana-stana @ sbcglobal.net (without the spaces surrounding @)

I hope to see your photo soon!
