This flamenco gown has been worn by one Miss Argentina. I asked the same designer to make me one. Please tell me how I look in it.

LOTS and LOTS of tape

[Priscilla1018]

OMG You are lovely.If you had met me before I was married,I would have sworn off women.Very nice pics.Thank you.

[Ophelia D'Void]

Still curious how you managed to get the cleavage.

Lovely dresses by the way.

Wo yao ni cheung sam. Ayuh...

[ronna]

MaryAnn, you are so lovely, and have such lovely pictures!
I do wonder if you have any male traits at all.
The female ones you have are a gift

Excellent.... thanks for sharing that with us. I'm sure a lot of girlz here will appreciate you taking the time to show them how to get a clevage like that... hey I might even try it myself :p hehe

I'm a true crossdresser without using any hormones. And thank you for your comments.

[maryannsung]

MaryAnn, you are so lovely, and have such lovely pictures!

LOL. Yes and fully functional.

[ronna]

Mary Anne, you have such wonderful advice!
You are clearly a trendsetter and keep it up, please!

Thank you for the kind comments. My style is a little bit of sexiness but always dress elegantly and for the occasion. CDs who dress elegantly will run into a lot less trouble.

[xam]

welcome aboard Maryanne. Nice to see you here!

Skin care is my No. 1 priority. I use a brush to scrub my face wtih age-defying cleansing foam (those that contain retinol). I rotate face masks with moisturing hydration, skin tightening and skin brightening.

I use a toner made by Sulwhasoo, a top Korean brand now making its way into the U.S.

For this makeup, after the basic skin protection, here are the steps:
1. Smashbox Photo Finish primer. A clear primer base that contains Telflon.
2. Sulwhasoo Yebit base
3. Sulwhasoo Yebit foundation No. 21
4. Smashbox Anti-shine
5. Smashbox Artifical Light to create the glow on this look
6. Shadows and highlights to contour face, Revelon cream eyeshadow
7. Sulwhasoo Yebit powder
8. Smashbox Browtech to fix the eyebrows
9. Cake eyeliner
10. Kohl pencil for smokey eyes effect.
11. MAC rouge eyeshadow
12. False eyelashes
13. Laneige earth tone blush
14. Revelon crayon to line lips.
15. Laneige earth tone lip gloss.
16. Barrier spray to hold makeup

[Mx Justina]

Well, not quite the absolute real deal...but very visually impressive and tastefull just the same!... I'm impressed (with the illusion) enough to check out that cleavage producer, for curiosity's sake.

I normally rely on slightly padded wire brassieres with tightly set rear attachments... Works OK for me with normal weight (and some occasional relatively innocuous phytoestrogens)..but less satisfactory visually with slight weight drops.

I've always had an unfullfilled fantasy of being in a cabaret, dancing in a thin strappy or strapless long gown...doing smooth moves with a well-dressed male partner.

For such a social potential...I'd might be more "practical" about what filled my brassiere.

J.

[Mx Justina]

Clicked to your site to check the content and images...

Nice site, with some very nice photo sequences (actually very good illustrative poses!).

My favorites were the images featuring the classical slitted Cheongsam long dress.

My SO and I have to admit that we really like your style, you do a great job on makeup, dresses, and you know what you have and how to work it.

Hehe, I think Sherlyn's got some competition...

[eleventhdr]

Yep, Racquel, I'm pretty sure FLABERGASTED is a word, and it pretty well describes me too. And to think, I always thought Ginger was the hottie... way to go Maryann!!!

Maryann...Unequivocally you show yourself to be a CDÃ*ng "mistress"!... My advice to other CD's is to put their collective/individual hangups aside and learn! Awesome pictures!

Lots to visually see and learn from! I'm Particularly curious about the cute knitted cap (it's descriptive name, and where/how I can get several)... Also your beautifull kimono (where did you get it from? loose fit sizes?)... Can it be worn in public???

Sincerely hope you have the time to respond!

Justina: Again thanks for your kind comments. The "knitted cap" you talked about is a beaded head dress. You can find them at places where they sell hats and wigs. Yes, there is only one size for kimonos, I bought this one at the Shirokiya department store in Honolulu.

[DragonLotus]

Absolutely stunning, what else can be said?!

It's interesting for me to see someone artificially achieving (and successfully showcasing) the kind of cleavage that I was born with and do everything in my power to avoid drawing attention to! Kind of makes me sad for myself to be well-endowed, with an hour glass figure and all....and not want to show it off. Not even a bit.

Seeing such masterful, well-earned beauty has given me major food for thought as to why I don't treasure seeing it in myself, but seem to enjoy it so much in others.

Brava! :thumbsup:

Thank you for your very kind compliment. As the fashion gurus say, if you have it, flaunt it.

I basically follow a Show-5 guideline for a sexy look.
1. Cleavage. If you have it flaunt it.
2. Belly button and a tiny waist. But most of us only have one of the two.
3. Legs. Men's legs actually look more solid than women's, an advantage. However, if you don't have a nice pair, move on to the next tip.
4. Shoulders. Showing off your shoulders in a halter top is a type of sexiness with character. But if your shoulders are too wide or too slanted, show your back.
5. Baring your back is the ultimate sexiness. You will notice this if men seeing you from the back and as they speed up to pass you, they turn their heads.

Of the five showings, cleavage is definitely the most feminine as only women or some of us who know the tirck have it.

And if you want to combine more than one, be careful:

Using one is very classy; two -- you definitely want to be noticed; three -- you are getting to be playful; four -- you are classified as a ****; all five -- you may be mistaken as someone who has to rely on this look for a living.

Cheer.

[Tamara Croft]

Maryannsung I was just wondering if you do any photo editing to your pictures, because they really are flawless ;)

[maryannsung]

Maryannsung I was just wondering if you do any photo editing to your pictures, because they really are flawless ;)

Tamara:

Yes I do tone my photographs at times. The adjustment I made is the same as what they do at fashion magazines, including color toning, lightening of partial areas of a photograph, facial line removal and evening of some skin tones. I know because I'm in the industry.

I do not change the contents of the photographs or swap the body of my photos with other people. What you see is what your get.

You are not seeing everything, though. For every picture I post here, there are at least 30 more. I took an average of 150 shots for every photo shoot of five wardrobes. That means for every good pictures, there are more than 20 bad ones.

As for the photo shoot, I use a 4.1 Mega pixel Canon Power Shot, use a fitler to get a warm glow on the skin tone, and an external flash soften by a light box.

When taking protraits, I always set the camera to shoot down from an angle of about 15 to 30 degrees. Most of these types of pictures are taken vertically. This technique will give the face a more oval look and avoid the double chin altogether.

As for makeup, I had said earlier, I use Smashbox Photo Finish as a primer, Smashbox Antishine to control the oily face and Smashbox Artificial Light to create the glow on the face. As for concealers, I use Joe Blasco's foundation. These are all same remedies used by makeup artists doing commerical shoots.

[merle]

Maryanne, you just look fantastic. With that conditions, how come you are a part time girl? With that wardrobe and body, I would only be a full time girl. :D :D

[Mx Justina]

I also found the photo shooting details for Tamara quite interesting.

I guess 4 mega-pixel is more than adequate...but very usfull if the camera can hold a filter lens.

I wish you had indicated the lens setting (mod. WA or Normal or slight Tele).

Still benefiting from your postings!

Supposingly, a 80 mm zoom lens will be perfect for protraits. I didn't use it and I just used the onboard lens.

The onboard lens choice seemed appropriate for the close up full-body poses (everything looked balanced, undistorted and symmetrical)...

Currently I use a minolta Dimage 4-megapixel (reliable, but non-standard filter holder).

BTW.. Saw both head & shoulder shots... The blue dress with that "criss-cross" (with circular brooch) front is classic, sophisticated sexy looking... very effective at close range... Pulls itself around your body beautifully! The fuchsia top wraps nicely also.

Thank you. The blue/green top is from Forever 21. The fuscha top is Gap's standard fare.

Well... the various pieces look almost "haute couture" when you put them on!... Everything comes together ever so well seemingly... Oh, and the blue-green top looks like a full dress in the close-up shot.

A most memorable view; Your multi top with long slit skirt pose (my favorite...though the other two recents are excellent in their own right also)...

(addendum) Perhaps that straight hanging slitted long skirt is a gorgeously draping long slip???...hard to discern either way...but a tastefully sexy item just the same!

I noticed how versatile the greyish-colour Basix II evening gown appeared on two recent photos...so I went checking online. Turns out that the company's stuff is carried in a fair number of places online at reasonable prices (including Ebay)... Alas, I never caught sight of the strapped gown featured in your photos.

Aside from how you appeared in two photos using it (so well...as usual), what caught my interest was the clingy, plunging back line gown design (wish you had displayed a backview)
