It has been raining
relentlessly all day. I put on galoshes and a raincoat and went to the
library. Some new books came out a few weeks ago and I wanted to see if
the library had them.
They didn’t. I am fighting the urge to just buy the damn books. But I have so many books crammed in bookcases, in boxes in the utility closet and in my mother-in-law’s garage.
So, I’m going to try and reduce the book load by getting novels from the library. But I may have to resort to a Kindle. The library is too slow about getting books or if they do get them, they may have one or two copies of a title and if the work is by a popular author, the book is quickly rented and then there is a waiting list.
And impatient me does not want to be dealing with all that. So, perhaps a Kindle is the way to go, although I’m a little unwilling to read a book from an electronic device.
I ran my errands using my husband’s Jeep. I don’t like driving Jeeps.
Ugh! Too butch.
But my husband took my car in to be inspected.
God,
I’m so bored. Of course, I’m bored, sitting here penning this. I was
originally going to write about how many transsexuals, not all, think
that they’re breathtaking beauties.
I hear so many girls talking about wanting to become a model or an actress. And of course, one doesn’t have to be a great beauty to enter those professions. I don’t think Naomi Campbell and a slew of others aren’t all that.
But I’d like to tell those trans women who have fantasies about becoming the next Heidi Klum or Kerry Washington that it isn‘t easy. And I’m not trying to douse their aspirations.
But I’d suggest you have a plan B or C because plan A may not happen.
I think I know what all this, ’I want to be a model/actress’ is about. You have low self-esteem. You’re not that crazy about yourself. You want people to adulate you. And you feel you can achieve that by becoming a celebrated icon. Your family members, society has knocked you and you want to accomplish something big, so you can show your critics. I get it.
I understand.
I would love to become a
best selling novelist, so I can stick my tongue out at my critics and
say, ‘Take this, bitches.’ So I understand where the model/actresses
wannabes are coming from.
It is with reluctance that I say forget this model/actress shit. It is a long shot. Even if you were genetic, it would be a long shot.
But baby, your asses are trans and I have trouble seeing this bigoted world allowing a trans actress to play a genetic woman on a TV show or in a movie. I can’t see a trans woman on the cover of Essence or Glamour. I’d like to see it.
But when Isis King was on America’s Next Top Model , she should have been profiled in Essence, Ebony or Jet and I don’t recall seeing her there.
I know there is a trans woman that recently had surgery that was on the cover of a magazine and maybe she was on Oprah, but will she become as big as Naomi and Heidi and Cindy?
I doubt it.
And I’m not being negative. I’m being truthful. I’m offering my opinion. I think those t-girls with dreams about becoming models and actresses may become popular in the trans community or become celebrated on the Net or may achieve RuPaul‘s level of success.
And believe me, I’m not mocking Ru‘s popularity. I used to enjoy her talk show.
But for those trans girls who are dreaming about becoming a model/actress, go for it. But remember, it may not work, so have a plan B.
I’d suggest becoming a teacher, lawyer or a nurse who looks like a model.
Back in the day, I was told that I should be a model, that I look like something out of Hollywood. I never pursued any of that. But some girls hear it and judging from how they act, I think it goes to their heads.
Just don’t invest totally in something that may not happen.
