Hi! My name is Kimberly, and I am a non-operative MTF transsexual. I live in Southern California.

Please see my other 'site' also, at profiles.urnotalone.com/35886. I very much enjoy hearing from others with an interest in glamour, femininity, and similar topics.

Send me a flickrmail, and I will do my best to reply to you in a timely manner. My only request is to try to be courteous and polite. I will then do the same for you. I love hearing from anyone who is reasonably sane--guys, TGs, and GGs. In case you're wondering, I'm a fairly petite girl (height a bit under 5 ft 7 in and weight about 149 lbs).

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a female, and that desire grows stronger every day. Being transgendered is a special gift, and I am very happy the way I am. Although I was not born as a female, I delight in blurring the gender lines and expressing myself to the world as a woman now. In general, I don't feel like a male, but instead feel as a woman. That's why I'm a transsexual.

If you view my photostream, you'll notice that i've posted quite a variety of pictures. For example, many are outdoor scenes with me in them, some are glamour shots, some are office lady looks, some are very casual clothing/casual footwear photos, and some are 'girls day out at the mall' type photos. In other words, a wide spectrum of feminine looks. Part of the reason I posted a wide variety is that I wanted to avoid the typical "crossdresser in a hotel room" photo series that some folks have. To each his own, and I definitely understand that because of their life situation, for some TGs the only chance they ever have to get dolled up is privately, in a hotel room. And I feel a strong kinship with my CD sisters. But I don't consider myself to be a crossdresser because I am TS (i.e. I am gender dysphoric), and I also wanted to emphasize my mainstream approach to things. When I have a chance to get out and about, I want to do the same types of things any genetic girl (GG) does. For these reasons, some of my favorite photos of myself have been taken outdoors in very public, mainstream settings. Hope this makes sense.

It might be the case that I shouldn't be giving advice to anyone on how to improve their look, but if someone does happen to be looking for advice on how to look their best as a transgendered girl out in public, here would be my advice: Less is more, so don't overdress and don't put on too much makeup. That seems to be the most common mistake people make. Observe what most genetic females are wearing, and then develop your own signature style based on the best attributes of what you observe in them. Of course, the setting, the season, who you are with, and other factors will be important to consider too. But if you wear a fancy blouse, a tailored skirt, pantyhose, and high heeled pumps every single time you go out, no matter the occasion, you might want to take a good look in the mirror and make some adjustments. This look might work in an office setting, but it won't work in the blazing heat at a shopping mall on a Saturday afternoon when every single female is wearing shorts and flip flops....just something to consider if you want to blend in.

Turn Ons: Dark hair (on myself and on others), getting up early to eat a fresh pastry and drink hot coffee. Getting attention from a polite guy (Hint: I especially love that!) when I'm "out and about", smile.

As far as Flickr friends go, I am pretty open minded. But I am not into stuff like bondage, porn, or seeing pictures of the "thingy" between your legs, so if you're into that, pls look elsewhere.

I would like to thank all of you out there for taking time to view my photos. My all time view count here on flickr.com is at about 348,000. Your support is a source of pride and inspiration for me, especially in light of the fact that I am not quite as young as I used to be! Your continuing interest and your kind comments are very much appeciated! :-)

The vast majority of my photos are unretouched and have not been airbrushed or otherwise altered in any way. So you get to see the 'real me' here. Some folks have told me that I look like I am about 40, rather than the 50 year old that I am. Such people are very kind and I love hearing those kinds of compliments. I hope you like what you see here. If so, pls let me know with a photo comment or flickrmail. Note that I have not had any surgeries: No facial feminization surgery, no breast enhancement, etc. So what you are seeing in my images is a very natural look.

Thank you for visiting my Flickr page, and wherever you are, I hope your day is a happy and productive one! 'What I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.'

Kim
