The last time I wrote I it was the first time I had to go shopping during this viral crisis we are all experiencing. Today is about the 3rd or 4th time I have gone shopping. Well it was yesterday, but the picture from above was taken right before I stepped out of the car. I wasn’t real sure about shopping with a mask covering my face. It certainly felt weird and out of place. But hey, I’ve transitioned and…
https://www.unordinarystyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/zoom_0.mp4 For this year’s spring break I was scheduled to give about a dozen in-person presentations to various college classes here in California’s Central Valley. Needless to say, with Covid 19 currently ravaging the world, my presentations were cancelled. Several teachers asked me if I could make something available on-line for their students. Initially I said, oh heck no! Being as I have never video taped myself before, ever, I was super set against such an experiment. However, often when…
Technically it was Jodie’s turn to do the shopping this weekend, but being as she often calls me the apocalypse shopper, I volunteered to go instead. I tend to buy more than she does so it’s a running joke between us. This time it didn’t feel like a joke with how empty the shelves were. For us the groceries are about 1/2 an hour away. While driving there, it occurred to me that we have neighbors who should not be…
If you are unaware, this is a podcast with my friend Dana Barr Galante and myself. Initially we were a pilot program of The Source, in Visalia. We recorded about 8 episodes while recording “under” them. It was fairly quickly determined that Dana and I are hilarious as fuck, however, we are also quite “adult” in nature. We like to swear like drunken sailors, talk shit about any politician or political party we chose, and on occasion we will talk about that…
In the middle of March will come my next vacation – Spring Break baby!!! Where will I be headed? Mexico? Bahamas? Hawaii? Palm Springs even? Ha! No. I will be spending my spring break vacation inside of college classrooms trying to help educate about what it is to be transgender. At heart I am an educator, so yeah, even during my vacation I will try and put forth my smallish efforts to help support both my transgender community and my…
I stopped doing lash extensions back in October. I began using Latise lash serum. I really like the results. So much easier than extensions and they are my real lashes. They are more dense, thicker, and longer. The only thing that made extensions better was their dark color. My natural lashes are not black so they don’t stand out near as much. But a few swipes of mascara makes them really pop. In my photo I have a bit of…
Wanna know the last time I shaved my face? Thanksgiving. That would make it five and a half weeks ago. I had my last electro session on December 7th and my next one will be tomorrow (it was January 3rd when I first wrote this draft.) While I am not totally hair free on my face as of yet, you can see the results for yourself. I have been waiting to see if I could make it between sessions without…
