A Transsistah's Secret - Foundation Garments

If you're lamenting the fact that you don't as a transwoman have the perfect hourglass shape, I'm going to tell you something that you should have picked up if you were doing your observation and practice part of learning the ways of femininity.

Neither do many of our cis sisters.      

Some of our cis and trans sisters have the funds to get that hourglass shape via the plastic surgery route.   Some do it by relentless exercising and diet.   Some were blessed by genetics and the luck of the hormonal draw to get that shape with having to diet or exercise regularly.   And unfortunately some our trans and cis sisters have take the dangerous path of silicone pumping ed to get those curves.

There's also the pageant queen trick of using strategically placed duct tape as well, but it'll hurt coming off and also has the downside of pulling off some skin or residual body hair in the process.

The easiest and the old school way of creating those curves is by using shapewear or foundation garments such as bras, girdles, waist cinchers, corsets, control top hosiery and strategically placed padding.to create their hourglass shapes or take off inches in the middle.

They also have the added bonus of making whatever outfit you chose to wear for the day look good as well.

UH Women Ballers Fight For Comeback Win Against Rice

One of the things about playing your rival in any sport at any level of competition is that you throw the records of the two teams out.   If one of the rival teams is trying to accomplish something like make the playoffs, win a conference title or go unbeaten, they will play their hardest just to beat you. 

They want the smirking satisfaction of rubbing it in your face months and years later and reminding you that they were the team that denied you whatever goal you wanted to accomplish.

One of the goals the University of Houston women's team wanted to accomplish in addition to the already secured conference regular season championship was an undefeated C-USA season.  

The fact that we were playing our big rivals was one of the things that went through my mind as I awaited the tipoff of this game againt the Rice Owls at Tudor Fieldhouse. 

It was a team the Cougars spanked at Hofheinz 71-51 back on February 10 but the Owls let the Cougars know they were bringing the Senior Day pain with a 9-0 opening run   For much of the afternoon that UH goal of a perfect conference mark was in jeopardy as the number 25 ranked Cougars faced a 19 point deficit at one point during the first half and were in a 41-27 hole at halftime .           

Thanks to a 24 point effort from reigning C-USA Player of the Year Courtney Taylor and 18 from Porsche Landry the Owls and their alums won't get the satisfaction of rubbing that in our faces.


The Cougars started clawing their way back into the game with an initial 17-7 run that whittled the Owl lead down to 48-44 at the 14:38 mark.   After another Rice run boosted their shrinking lead a run of seven straight points from Courtney Taylor cut the deficit to just 63-60 with 7:17 left in the game.

Porsche Landry's turnaround jumper gave the Cougars their first lead at 69-68 with 1:50 remaining and the Cougars allowed one Owls basket over the final 3:38 of the game to head back to Cullen Boulevard with the  hard fought 74-70 win.

Eat 'em up!


The win extended the school record UH winning streak to 15 games, boosted their record to 24-4 and set them up with the opportunity to become the second C-USA women's team to go unbeaten in the regular season when they face off against Tulane on Saturday night.

UH Lady Cougars Ballers Keep Winning

In what is turning out to be the best season ever for the University of Houston women's basketball program, they rode the sizzling shooting of Brittney Scott to beat Marshall 72-54 for their school record 14th straight win.

Scott scorched the Thundering Herd for 24 points with 6 for 10 shooting from behind the three point arc as the now 25th ranked Cougars improved their record to 23-4 on the season and are now only two wins away from an unbeaten romp through Conference USA.

They clinched the conference championship with a 77-61 win over UTEP last week and have two games left on their schedule standing between them and becoming the second C-USA women's team to go unbeaten. 

The Cougar lady ballers battle our crosstown rivals at Rice and have a Tuesday night regular season finale at Hofheinz with Tulane before they head to El Paso to play in the C-USA tournament.

Looks like I'll have a reason to watch the Selection Monday coverage on ESPN when they announce the teams that will be going to the NCAA womens tournament.
