"How Boyish or how Girlish" am I?

Well girls. I've done yet another online gender test. And like the COGIATI test, I come out 50/50. I'm totally cool with that and it correlates with my own understanding of myself and where I sit on the gender spectrum.

This is what the recent test has to say about me...and I can assure you, I'm NO EUNUCH. It all functions very nicely thank you!

You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

Isn't this just the most beautiful girl!!

Here's to a healthier 2006 !!

It's not exactly 2006 yet, but I've started planning and practicing my new year's resolutions early. Yes, normally I totally ignore the whole concept of new year's resolutions...but this year I do have to make some changes.

So I've stopped smoking...this time it is for ever...this body of mine has been put through some serious abuse over the past 30 years or so...time to let it heal. And my smoking has been getting worse and worse...so it's time to give that up.

Need to lose about 5 kg...again...had lost it, but excessive work over the past 6 months has let to the discipline slipping badly...so I've eaten badly heaps of times and drunk far too much alcohol and not exercised...time to change that and lose the 5kg and get my sexy feminine waistline back...okay, so sometimes I live in a fantasy world!!!

Spend more time with my friends...the ones who know the total me.

And to do all of the above I have to get a better balanced work life...I have to keep the meaningless job in perspective...only work as hard as is necessary and which bears a value resemblance to the fees I receive...the workaholic's efforts aren't full appreciated in any case, so why kill myself.

Find a meaningful project for 2006!!

There you have it...my plans for a healthier 2006.

My new toy...an epilator

Well girls, I've got a new toy. A Braun Silk Epil. And what a wonderful new toy it is. It's already given me several hours of fun times.

For those that don't know, an epilator looks and sounds like an electric razor...except it's pink! And instead of shaving the hairs, it plucks it out with tiny little tweezers.

Why did I buy it? Well apart from the fact that I love smooth hairless skin! The reason is so that I can beat those clever pesky hairs that appear immediately after I've had my body waxed.
I have my legs, stomach and chest waxed every month. But there are always several individual hairs or small groups of hairs that hide just under the surface during the waxing, and then within a day they suddenly pop up and start growing furiously. It's almost as if they conspire against me being smooth and hairless like a woman. Well now I have the answer. I zap them with my Silk Epil!! Perfect!!

And let me also tell you that it's a very enjoyable and useful passtime when you're lying bored in your hotel room watching "The Fifth Element" for the 10th time. On Friday night I was out of town on business, too tired to get my makeup on and go out. So I lay on my bed, watching a movie and casually working away on my bikini-line with the Epil. You'd be surprised how smooth and hairless you can end up after 2 hours of that activity. And in some unmetionable but essential places where this girl likes being hairless. Just wonderful!

I won't give up my regular waxing sessions...just enjoy the pampering and chatting too much...but the Epil is a very handy additional beauty tool. There are very few beauticians who are comfortable doing a mature tranny's bikini line...and I don't blame them. Now I can deal with that myself.

Go get yourself one. It's worth every cent. And by the way, I bought the older model which was on sale at half price as a new model has just been released. The old model does all it's supposed to, so there's no need to spend the extra money on the new model.

Happy Epil-ling!!!
