I found of thie tape at a local drug store…such as Walgreens or Longs. It looks like scotch tape. It is by NEXCARE….FLEXIBLE CLEAR TAPE. This is very simple. Pull any excess skin up and start pressing it down..after pulling your skin back…hold the end…. where it will not show from under your wig. No oil, so tape does not lift. Pull the tape up, up and around onto the top of your wig cap. Now, go to the other ear, and repeat.
For your neck, you can pull your neck skin back, tape it and pull it around to the middle back of your neck. Do this twice, on top of the first piece of tape. Repeat on the other side. Presto, you look ten years younger, and more feminine. If you have to wear a wig, at least taping to the wig cap itself…is the one positive for wearing a wig.
If you do not wear a wig, you can pull your neck skin back, (but not facial) behind your ear and pull over to the middle of the neck. Apply another piece, so you’re double taped. Now, repeat on the other side of ear. Pull your hair down in the back….to cover the tape on the back of your neck!
This is not hard, many of you are afraid of trying this. It is very easy, and very inexpensive. And, now with this new medical tape…you don’t have to use wig tape…which IS expensive. So, don’t be shy. Give it a try. It may take a couple of times to really “feel” how tight…you can PULL the tape over. Again, no oil or foundation or the tape will lift. Instant face lift!! Instant neck lift. Again, locate a Beauty SUPPLY not a salon, as they have all types of hair, wig accessories. Buy several wig caps, as they are very inexpensive, and they keep the oil off your clean wig!
Wigs are finally in again, with the Hollywood crowd. Have fun, with wearing them for special outings!

Let me know how it works for you!
If you like a very casual look for your face, and not a thick foundation mask look…. give this new type of foundation a try. I found this new product from the Breast Form Store, who
carries a wonderful makeup line, called Lady Burd. This Gel is called:
“Flawless Complexion Gel”.
The Breast Form Store, has a wonderful customer support, and will answer any questions you may have. They also have an excellent return policy, and work exclusively with the TG community. This “tinted” Gel…. comes in several shades…. a Light, Medium, and Dark, but you would need to call The Breast Form Store, to determine which shade of Gel is best for you. Don’t be afraid of the darker colors, as this product blends into the skin…leaving a “Glow”…more like a Tint…to your face. In addition, The BF Store has breast forms, hip pads, make-up, wigs, and wonderful bras.
I am planning on using this Gel, for this summer…for a light Tint on my bare skin…for the beach and for casual outings.
Take a look!

]]>Ms Doyle,
I purchased a few years ago your CDs and have enjoyed them very much. Unfortunately, I can’t practice and go out in public like I want to. One thing I have noticed is how differently men and women eat and their table manners. Would you consider doing a CD on this? Thanks again for your time.
Truly,
Hello C, thank you for the GREAT question. I can best answer your question, by telling you a few, true-real-life stories of clients going full time. We will work for an entire day of walking, voice, etc. Then, break to eat lunch. At this point, the really primal instinct in all of us…takes over….”hunger”. Many tg women…even full time…have eaten in guy mode for so long, they have lost insight into how they look eating. Eating, becomes like breathing, just something very natural. However, for the tg going out, you must pull back away from the food. Most go into “unconscious eating” and the old guy habits return…which are:
eating fast
taking really large bites
talking with some food still in the mouth
not setting the fork down, to finish chewing.
making a “gulp” nose, when swallowing large amounts of fluid.
not making eye contact while eating.
And, leaning down over the table.
If I had to summarize–it would be slow down. Pull back
from the food. Don’t have such a relationship with the food,
but look, see, feel others at the table.
Also, this is the KEY to losing weight. I learned this
as a young model. They taught us to not have racing
thoughts going on in our heads, while eating…but instead
be fully aware of what you’re eating, how it taste, how
much to swallow, and to really taste each bite.
Over weight people, often eat..while watching tv, while driving,
while “think, think, thinking, of whatever. C, it is much like
driving. Have you ever driven someplace, and then…not remembered
how you got there? Same deal. You were doing something very
familiar (driving, eating) and while your hamster wheel thoughts
were spinning…you’re not really aware and fully present with
the drive or with the food.
Give this a try! If it doesn’t work…I have one more old modeling tip…
but I will save that!
Eat, feel, and enjoy each bite!

Hi Denae,
I thought I would send you a message about my attending
San Francisco Ballet last night. I had a couple of items
I wanted to wear, and I had not been out dressed in awhile.
I wore a silk blouse by Citrion which I bought at Nordstroms.
The blouse was black with a muted floral print. I wore a black
skirt with sequins sown on a strip of black chiffon at the hem.
I accessorized with a silver sequined chiffon shawl I wore
draped evenly around my neck.
The night turned out to be absolutely fabulous, with the least
of that being the performance. I deposited my coat at the coat
check and the lady in line behind me remarked how lovely my blouse
was and where did I get it. We had a nice chit-chat about where
I got my blouse until she deposited her coat. I went to my seat
for the performance. During the first intermission the woman next
to me asked my how I enjoyed it. It turns out she was a former
dancer and had moved to San Francisco about five years ago. We
talked about the arts in San Francisco during that and the second
intermission, and at the end of the performance said our goodbyes.
I went to retrieve my coat and again ran into the lady I had met
earlier. She again said how much she adored my blouse and I thanked
her profusely.
I relate this because I was able to keep in my voice all the way
through, and I found it was easier as I was more relaxed. When I
told the former dancer I enjoyed opera, she asked me what would be some
good operas to see initially, since she had never been. So I was able
to talk in my voice about things my boyself knew a lot about.
I thank you for encouraging me to find my voice and talk, rather than just
go through letters as one might go through scales on a musical instrument.
I know I made mistakes last night when I talked, but if they noticed, they
didn’t let on. It was so much fun to go dressed in lovely clothes, and then
converse with other women about various topics. I can’t wait to go to the
ballet.
By the way, I called my fashion consultant at Nordstrom’s and told her about
the blouse. She was very happy about the reaction I got. One should always
thank people who help you in life.
Best always,
“A”
