Mini Entry #1 – Gala Pics

Updates all around.

 

Okay, after that massive entry was lost, I just got too busy to do another entry.  So, let’s try mini-entries.

 

I need to cover these things in the next few mini-entries:

 

The Holiday Gala

 

Stuff at work re transitioning

 

The IFGE Convention

 

So, here’s the Holiday Gala.

 

It was even better than last year, we had an absolute blast.  Sweety bought me a new dress off Coldwater Creek, see the pics, it was terrific and I got compliments on it all nite long.  I was tickled.  Guys, it’s hard to explain how much that means to a girl.  So, get with the program.  Tell her she looks great.  Now do it again.

 

I still think I smile funny when people point cameras at me…

 the dress sweety picked out, without the matching jacket...

We had some new members there, who are great – another married couple, and they had a blast too.  We had 3 folks come down from Harrisburg, PA – there’s a great group up there, and that was terrific to meet new folks – cool folks.  We even had the hotel catering staff dancing with us by the end of the nite!

 

vamping at the gala!

 

Dancin’ Dancin’, Everybody’s Dancin!

I had my hair done up, but a different guy than last year.  My regular guy was on vacation. I liked last year’s better.  Next year, doing something on my own.  This one took an hour and a half…

 

Our group got tons of compliments after the gala, via email, on what a wonderful time everyone had. 

Okay.  Now on to the other “mini-entries”.

It took me a long time to be able to smile naturally in front of the camera.. i had to practice in front of the mirror a lot.. and just memorized how it felt.. and I laugh easily.. I can do it on cue and it will be heartfelt.. over absolutely nothing. so if you can do that, you will always have natural smiles 🙂 then again, i do modeling (well not professionally) lol so i concentrate on that. you look really beautiful 🙂 *hugs*

Fabulous!
