Finding Longer Pants or Jeans Which Are A Perfect Fit For The TG Woman
Hello Ladies, I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season.
I am often asked, how the TG woman…can find pants/jeans which fit around the stomach and are longer in the legs. Finding your size in a retail store, can be frustrating. It’s easier than ever to find that perfect-fitting pair of jeans. Fashion insiders have long used www.searchbyinseam.com which surfs the Web for e-tailers that offer pants, jeans and leggings with your exact inseam measurements. The site will also sort your favorite brands of jeans based on the rise you want (low, mid, or high), ensuring fewer returns and costly trips to the tailor.
It is very important to measure youself, expecially in the waist. To measure your waist, bend to the side. This is the waist area I want you to measure for your pants and jeans. Wearing your jeans under your waist, if you have a large stomach, will only work if you wear a long, tunic blouse. If you have a large waistline (stomach) I suggest you purchase jeans and slacks that have a “partial” stretch waistband…in the back, only. You can always cover the waistband with longer jackets, sweater, and blouses. The elastic waist band will give you a much better fit than trying to squeeze into a pair of jeans, that fits below your stomach.
Janurary is the month, leather stores such as Wilsons Leather, will put their leather jackets, purses, computer bags, and winter boots on sale. This is a great month, to locate those expensive leather items…look for your winter coat, purse, winter boots, shoes…many stores will offer their leather items as much as 60 % off!

Be Safe At Hotels
Thank you for this tip, Terri. I know many of you travel either on business, or for tg events. So, regardless of the hotel, motel…read this! This is any hotel, not any in particular.
Ever wonder what is on your magnetic key card?
Answer:
a. Customer’s name
b. Customer’s partial home address
c. Hotel room number
d. Check-in date and out dates
e Customer’s credit card number and expiration date!
When you turn them in to the front desk your personal information is there for any employee to access by simply scanning the card in the hotel scanner. An employee can take a hand full of cards home and using a scanning device, access the information onto a laptop computer and go shopping at your expense.
Simply put, hotels do not erase the information on these cards until an employee re-issues the card to the next hotel guest. At that time, the new guest’s information is electronically ‘overwritten’ on the card and the previous guest’s information is erased in the overwriting process. But until the card is rewritten for the next guest, it usually is kept in a drawer at the front desk with YOUR INFORMATION ON IT!
The bottom line is: Keep the cards, take them home with you, or destroy them. NEVER leave them behind in the room or room wastebasket, and NEVER turn them in to the front desk when you check out of a room. They will not charge you for the card (it’s illegal) and you’ll be sure you are not leaving a lot of valuable personal information on it that could be easily lifted off with any simple scanning device card reader.
For the same reason, if you arrive at the airport and discover you still have the card key in your pocket, do not toss it in an airport trash basket. Take it home and destroy it by cutting it up, especially through the electronic information strip!You can also use a small magnet and pass it across the magnetic strip several times. Then try it in the door, if it does not work it erases everything on the card.Information courtesy of:Pasadena Police DepartmentPLEASE FORWARD to friends and family.

Hair-Do Clip In Extentions
For those you have their own hair, but find it is to thin and you need some “thickness” instead of length…you can do what many of the stars have discovered (such as Simpson sisters). At macy’s.com stylist Ken Paves is now offering his Hairdo Clip-in Extensions from $90.00 up, at Macy’s.com The extensions add volume and curls–rather than length–to your hair. This is a speedy solution to thin hair, and it doesn’t reqire stylers or a hair dryer. I love this!

How To Apply WET Eye Shadow….For Liquid Eye Liner
Connie…thank you for your email asking….”how to obtain the difficult but fabulous… liquid eyeliner technique”.
Connie, don’t feel alone.. most women will agrree…. liquid is the most difficult to use. However, many love the look…liquid liner gives. I have found, the best solution around using liquid. First, find a WET eye shadow, I use Lancomb. (It can be used Dry, for a powder eye shadow.) Next find a very tight brush head…or use a Q-Tip that has a pointed head…not to be confused with the standard oval Q Tip. You can find the pointed Q Tips in the cosmetic department. The applicator does need to be short and very tight for this to work…think of how short and hard the tip of your eyeliner pencil is. Wet the brush or pointed Q tip and mix in with the wet shawdow ( practice first on your hand…basically find the thickness you want for your line). Instead of “drawing a line” ….”walk the brush, dab by dab… down and across your eyelid”…as close to your eyelashes as possible. When you’re finished with the first eye, create the same thickness on the next eye. You can then, create a light tail, if you desire the cat eye look which is obtained only with liquid liner. Don’t brush it on. By using the wet shadow with the correct applicator …. simply press or walk the shadow across in 3 or 4 straight dabs and when dry… will look like a liquid line, and will stay on much longer than a standard pencil. Wet powder gives a much more defined line, than a pencil–without the mess of liquid. It is easier to remove than liquid liner.
When you’re finished with both eyes, use the left over wet shadow…and apply to your eyebrows to fill in any sparse brow area and also use to draw the perfect arch. Select a color, which matches your eyebrows and eyelashes…which will help your eye shadow colors …bring out your eyes.

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING REALLY COOL
If you go to www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print and send it to a soldier currently serving in Iraq . You can’t pick who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one. It’s FREE and only takes a second.
Whether you are for or against the war, soldiers over there need to know we are behind them. This takes just seconds and it’s a wonderful way to say thanks. Please take the time to pass it on to your friends so that they can greetings, too. We can never say thanks enough.
Thanks for taking to time to support our military.

PALS ~ Breast Forms ~ Under $50.00 to $70.00 ~ We Can Use Foundation To Create Our Skin Tone
Thanks to Jane….for this tip…about Pals Breast Forms. Pals states on their web site, you can apply your own foundation (or Sally Hanson Leg Spray) directly to your Pals Forms to create a closer match to your own skin shade. This should not be done, with the more expensive, silicone breast forms.
I love PALS, and have written about them many times. There is NO longer a need, to spend $250.00 to $350.00 for the original heavy silicon breast forms. Pals, give the same appearance, as the orginal silcone breast forms…..except Pals are very inexpenive, (under $75.00 or less) are much lighter and will not tear or bleed. At this price, purchase several of their new shapes (from round to tear shape), and perhaps get two different sizes. for different fitting outfits. Pals are sold on many web sites…so do your own internet shopping and research who has the best price, or no sales tax.I am told you can find the best price on E-Bay, and many other sites.
Again, thank you Jane for this great tip ~ we can now custom color our Pals breast forms to match our skin tone!
Newest “Filler” instead of surgery
There is a new television show, put on by Dr. Phil and Ophra, called www.doctorstv.com
They show the most up to date procedues. I found this interesting, and you can certainly go to their web site and check this out, and or do a Goggle on it.
(1) They stated–the newest FDA approved collogen for “filler” in the lips, folds down the side of the face, is PIG collagen, instad of the currently used COW collagen. They report it last months longer.
(2) Next, there is a new producdure, to fill in breasts, lips and contour your buttom. This is also very new and is now used by the best plastic surgeons in NY. It is called LIPOSTRUCTURE. First, they remove and lipo out the fat you do not want…and put the fat they got out with lipo..into a machine that spins the fat ..which removes the water from the fat..so they get it down to 100% fat. This procedure, allows the fat to STAY. As you know, fat implants, in the past have re-obsorbed back into the body, such as..putting it into your lips…it is gone in 2 months. Now, they use your fat to STRUCTURE where you want more fat added and it will stay…such as in your lips, in your breasts, buttom. I think this is exciting. Fillers in the past, only lasted 2-3 months. Now, they have a more permanent answer with pig botox for wrinkles and LIPOSTUCTURE to lip out your fat and then spin out the water, and then add it back into the areas…you want them to structure!!
Do your research, and ask your doctor if he does these newest procedures…yet! I can’t give medical advise, however…this was on www.doctorstv.com todays episode, Nov 28th 2008. There is hope, without cutting!

More About Selecting The Right Feminine Shoe
Hello Ladies, Lots of questions coming in…about buying your new Winter shoes…and selecting one that does not hurt your feet when standing for more than a couple of hours.
If your on your feet for more than 2-3 hours…I suggest selecting a shoe with more surface area, such as a wedge, or platform. Also, a covered heel or a heel with a flexiable strap.
(Think of the shoes …the female dancers wear… on Dancing With The Stars)…they have lots of back heel and middle support with a heel size large enough to support your weight.
I like to use www.designershoes.com which carries sizes up to size 16. Most of you, should purchase a Womans WIDE, for additional room in the toes. www.Nordstroms.com has wonderful Wide, as well as www.Piperlime.com
If your feet hurt, your walk….. will completely fall apart, so spend the time for the “right” pair of shoes!
