A CD AND HIS WARDROBE, ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING.
I'm just not a big smiler. Combination of my face looking all crunched up, and the poor teeth from growing up in England with NHS dentists. If I won the lottery, my first purchase would be a new set of chompers. I do laugh a lot, and smile, but not in photos. My sense of humour usually gets other people smiling though, my delivery is very dead-pan.
Smile!
I always smile when I am dressed because I feel wonderful and when people see me I want to look happy, not sad or stoic.
Ya I hate my teeth as well. I smile but rarely show my chompers!! lol

@Michelle - At least your smile gives you them cute lil' cheeks. I look like someone getting fired feet first from a cannon.
I have never been able to smile. This has always been an area of contention whenever I was photographed. But since dressing I've been working/practising my smile. Some of my femme pictures seem to have a good smile. Maybe there's something about my femme side coming out. Still need to practice so that it looks more natural and comes more naturally but it is worth the effort.

Cute lil cheeks hehehe thanks!! They do pop out dont they lol.
Practice in the mirror till you find one you think is decent and then learn it, repeat it. There is one hiding there!!

I read recently (can't remember where) of a young woman who had just been hired as a flight attendant on one of the Asian airlines. They apparently take appearance and presentation very seriously and the article described how she practiced wearing her uniform the entire day before her first flight while gripping a pencil in her teeth to develop/enhance the "eight teeth smile".
I have tried it briefly to no great success, but perhaps one of you young 'uns might find this useful...

lol I am trying the pencil in the teeth now. Ill let you know how it works out for me lol. Feels a little silly but I can see how it would help. I hate showing my teeth when I smile because it looks so unnatural; to me at least. lol

There was a question on the radio, about 4months ago, they asked what does woman do 80 times a day that men do about 6 times. The answer please SMILE SO girls we all need to smile more special when we are ladies. Besides being dress in a pretty dress, how can you not smile with joy!!!

In drab, I do not smile, but adopt the neutrality stance also. This bothered me as I so wanted to feelhappy and smile when en femme, but did not think I could do it. However, once I had the wig on, and applied some makeup, I felt so happy that I had to smile. It will never be the GG smile we all adore, but I found one I think works for me. It is so hard to do naturally, but when it feels right, it becomes second nature. Now I can't dress without one. Now where did those Crest Whitening strips go.

I may never get to fly like the other girls, but I do so want to dance, so I continue to climb.
I have also read (heard?) that beauty pageant contestants put vaseline on their upper front teeth to help the upper lip slide up when they smile. It sounds ucky to me, but it may be another helpful training technique.

I've heard that it prevents lipstick from transferring to the teeth as well.
I'm smiling just reading this thread - I never realised that GG's smiled so much more than guys!
When I smile my face looks more square and masculine. I'm probably not doing it right. Sigh! Just one more feminine nuance to put on my "Need to Learn" list.
I'm the same. I can't master the female way of smiling showing the top teeth. It just looks like I'm 'gurning'.
Whenever I smile for the camera it looks fake.
I tend to go for the 'sultry' look.
I'll have to keep practicing.

I love a girl that smiles. That's probably why I like crossdressers that smile a lot
There must be something to that survey about how often men smie. I have to remind myself to smile - but this I learned over the years - if someone gives me "the look" when I am out and about in femme, I flash the biggest smile I can muster and it works wonders. They are totally disarmed.
