kengr: (Anime Brooke)

Hmmm

The last few days I've been pondering something. Namely, what sort of *serious* answer to give Ethan the next time he asks Brooke why she's wearing a dress/wig/whatever. (note: the preceding is in third person best that's the easiest way to handle this in English, not because "Brooke" is a separate part of me)

Anyway. He's only 11, and I'm not entirely sure what approach to take.

What with the bad weather locally, I've been able to put it off some, but I am going to be visiting them again.

In other news, I'm wearing my bras most of the time now. I just decided that even if I wasn't wearing forms, it'd be another thing I could do.

After I see what taxes do to my money situation, I'll have to see whether or not I am going to do something about electrolysis on my face. I really *do* want to not have to shave if only because it'll cut down the amount of "extra" effort it'll take Brooke to go anywhere.

And before anybody asks, if I try shaving more often than every couple of days I almost always turn my face into hamburger. Even with fresh blades.

Damn. I wish I could put you in touch with PG Cwick, who moderated a couple of fabulous panels on "The Costuming Aspects of Cross-Dressing" locally in the early-to-mid 90s. It wasn't about sex or sexuality for hir, either. Sie described hirself as having a great deal of respect for the power of women, and felt sie was best able to emulate that by dressing as one.

I googled for hir, but hir Yahoo profile doesn't make any reference to hir dressing, and I haven't seen hir at a con in years so I doubt sie'd remember me at this point.
