It's all about confidence!

Gosh, where does the time go?  I have been busy but really there are no excuses for not writing more regularly.  Anyway, down to business! 

Confidence is important in every aspect of our lives.  For T-Girls it can be extremely important because if we don't feel good about how we look it translates to our whole presentation.  I suspect it is somewhat similar for G-Girls when they look in the mirror.  After all, they are under almost constant pressure regarding image, style and body shape.

Here are two photos that sum up my own situation and it's hard to credit the difference.   Photo A features a floral dress that I bought in Marks and Sparks.  I had great hopes.  However, when I put it on at home the next night I was dismayed by what I saw.  It's just didn't work.  Hiding it under a long flowing cardigan was a desperate attempt to escape the reality of not feeling good about it.  The look on my face and the poor posture say everything about how I felt.

Photo B

Fast forward just one night and I'm all frocked up in a figure hugging electric blue dress.  Funny but I was sceptical that this dress would work as the words "figure hugging dress" and "me" had previously only ever made me laugh.  I approached the mirror with the lowest of expectations but...............OMG (and I don't use that cliched term very often) I was shocked, delighted and thrilled.  Was that really me?  I suddenly found myself standing taller and posing provocatively as I admired the Gorgeous Goddess looking back at me. Okay, a little hyperbole but you know what I mean!  My confidence was suddenly sky high.  I wanted to be somewhere where I would turn heads and be the subject of envious whispers.   Photo B is definitely the girl I want to be.  It seems that all I ever needed was the right dress!  I think they might even have made a movie about me -Devil in a Blue Dress
