The only thing i want to say, is that there’s a *wide* spectrum between where you are right now and “ultrafemme”–speaking as a girl who wears a skirt maybe once a year if someone makes me go to a wedding or something–; the clothes you are wearing in the work pic look good, *not* too conservative, in my opinion–I think “tailored” is a good idea–you should get a “tailored” jacket vs. North Face for example. I don’t think that your hair isn’t long enough, it just needs to be slightly more “styled” (again, there’s a difference between spending a half an hour on your hair every day vs. 10 minutes with a blow dryer and a bit of hairspray). You don’t need *foundation*, but a little mascara, do an eyebrow wax, and lipstick and a little jewelry would be *perfect*! You definitely don’t need blush, you already have great cheekbones! But the way you talk in the blog, it makes as if people who suggest that you wear a little lipstick are asking you to wear a miniskirt and bustier to work! ;)

That said, as you mentioned, feeling comfortable is the most important thing.

Yours Sincerely,
“Defender of Ultrafemmes everywhere”

Megan>> Deb, hyou just picked out my outfit for me for Monday at work. Remember my Ann Coulter outfit that I wore for Halloween (sorry gang, I will NOT post those pictures — WAY TOO SCARY).

Just for clarity on the makeup thing… no, I’m not saying all makeup is bad. I’m saying two things:

1) the “makeup counter” look, which some people love, and some people hate, isn’t me. I can’t do it.
2) Right now, given that I have a bunch of other stuff to do *first*, I’m probably not going to start to use makeup for a bit… maybe I’ll start w/non-clear lip gloss – I’ve had a lot of good suggestions on that (bustier free), and I will go there!

I really do appreciate all the feedback on how I could look better… it is very helpful….

- Megan

You are truly amazing and I wanted you to know that. I just want you to know that a 24 year old girl from Nowhere, Arkansas thinks you’re absolutely amazing.

This whole journey of discovery you’ve been on, it seems like a wild, fantastical, but in the end, satisfying, ride. I am proud of all people who find the courage to do what makes them happy and I am glad that you have. I hope that one day, I too can find the courage to be my happiest.

So congratulations! You look beautiful, inside and out. And your family sounds wonderful. I can only imagine having such a family. Good luck to you in all your days, Megan!

Megan>> Very sweet, thanks so much! Glad you like the blog!

I wish you the best as well!
