Finally cut my fingernails

After leaving them long for almost one month, I finally cut the fingernails. It's so much comfortable to type without fingernails, but I missed the feminine sensation. Oh well, you can't have everything.

Getting better on polishing nails

I polished my nails today in cherry pink, and found myself done a pretty nice job. I partly credit my success to some blogs that I read about polishing nails. The tricks I used were:

• Make sure brush applied strokes in parallel to the nail and not dip down perpendicularly
• Start a stroke in middle an then each at the side.
• Always apply at least 2 layers on each nails
• Use cotton sticks to rub off excessive paint

After wearing the nail polish for a day, I now totally understand why applying the clear polish layer at the very last, which I did not do, is so important. I will definitely do that the next time. Nevertheless, I think I did a nice job today, and I am looking forward to try it again somtime later.

Sewing, Gluing and mending

It's post-Thanksgiving day, a day that I can relax and do stuff that I find important but not particularly urgent. So I took the opportunity to fix some of my costumes. In there are way more items that I found needed to fix than I expected. So I just keep sewing, gluing and mending those broken costumes. I don't thing I have everything needed to fix fixed, but I did enough to make me feel good about myself.

Dos and don't in social life

I came over this article called How to Find a Girl Who Likes Crossdressers (for Young Men) and found it very interesting. I am not actively looking for a partner, but then I am interest in being someone who's attractive and nice to be with, so it's always helpful to learn more about dos and don't in social life.

Goodbye, my long finger nails

I wan't intentionally do that all, but I stopped cutting my fingernails since weeks ago. Usually I will trim my finger nail constantly, almost to an obsessive level, but somehow I was so busy and so sick because of my flu that I just let the fingernail continue growing. Now they are long and kind of feminine. I even spent sometime yesterday trying to learn how to take off contact lens with long fingernails, and success.

However, I finally decide to cut my finger nails after reading this. I know that as a cross-dresser I am already not failing into the norm, and shouldn't care much about what mainstream thinks. Yet I don't want to give an impression that I am creepy or unhealthy or a drug taker. So after I did some nail polish exercise, I will cut all the finger nails short.

只此一張

上個週末，我到Dallas探朋友，為了準備那天晩上 去Party, 我們在酒店開了個房間，方便化妝和換衣服。當我試了一套紅色的賽車女郎裝，朋友說超好看，而且一定要我到酒店的健身泳池旁邊拍照，我只好照著做。但那天天 氣實在太冷。我擺了一會甫士，已經冷得要死。朋友最後也放過我。拍了十多張照片，結果只有這一張可以見人，其他的都是我一臉「待會我會用電鋸斬死妳全家」 的樣子。

Another lesson learned: don't wear adhesive bra for too long

Here's another thing that I learned last weekend during the parties at Dallas: DO NOT wear adhesive bar for too long. Specifically, don't wear it OVERNIGHT. I learned it the hard way as I found that there are some serious red mark on my chest created by the sticky part of the adhesive bar. This actually make sense because the sticky part that attached to my chest was the part that constantly supporting the weight of the whole silicon gel body. It's like constantly pulling your skin, and eventually it will create a red mark.

In fact, I think there was actually caution statement printed on the package of the adhesive bra. I saw it, didn't quite understand the reason, and eventually ignored it. Well, at least I know it now.

Camera, you don't lie

As crude as it is, I still like how camera shatter my illusions on how good/bad I look in costume. Sometime I tried a costume, and I thought the pose and look seemed nice, but once I looked at the photos I took, they bluntly told me that the costume looked horrible. Reality check is hard, but better than humiliating myself in public because of the wrong costume and hairstyle decision you made based on my own illusion.

Seriously, NO MORE long hair wig for me

After seeing the horrible photos of me during last weekend wearing a long hair wig at party, I promise myself NEVER EVER will I wear long hair wig UNLESS it's for photo shooting, and that I can take off the wig right after the photo shot. Like my friend Teresa said, my face look crazy long with long hair. Really not good.
