I wear women's jeans/shorts, tops, shoes, and bras most of the time. People know but I don't go out of my way to be obvious.

Well a couple weeks ago with my birthday coming up I had to renew my driver’s license and get a old professional license renewed. I knew I had to get my picture taken for the driver’s license. But, that wasn’t any big deal since I’ve worn woman’s blouses for every one since back in the 80s. OK, go in and get in line with all the others waiting to renew. Pay for the privilege of having your worst picture of the year taken. They only take head shots so my black blouse’s collar would be the only thing to show. Done, gone and no problems.

I went on down the road to pay for my other license and handed the clerk my credit card and old license. She responded that they now require a more current picture. Funny since I’ve never used my old card since I got it over 20 years ago. Just send in renewal money! Well OK, stand in front and get a head shot. WRONG! I had forgotten they used a business type shot. Oh well, my original picture was with a paisley blouse on. I also had to be fingerprinted which was why I went in. I fail to understand if the FBI has several sets of my fingerprints and they have done it before why again? Government dumb dumb dumb!!! OK we get through the finger prints. She was nice and I’m pretty sure she had felt the girls against the back of her arms as she guided my fingers to the right places. Anyway, time for the picture. My blouse was a silk black loose weave (medium sheer) shirt style. I had on a nude bra but checked that it didn’t show under the blouse. Picture taken and I’m out of there.

1st of the week I get my new driver’s license and it looks like I have on a black shirt except for the gold button and it opens to the left, but who cares.

Today I get my other license. Low and behold, the girls shine through. Not that 99.99% of people would notice. But once you see them and know what is there you can make out the bra lines and the projections. You couldn’t see it under normal lights when she took the picture. The flash picked up the satin in the bra and reflected it back. The other thing I hadn’t been thinking about was the blouse had a gold button at the neck and one where the placket started down the front. Obviously a woman’s blouse and a guy with boobs wearing a bra. Oh well it will be filed in the archives and 20 years from now replaced by another picture. Maybe I’ll wear a dress then.

Sometimes nice things show up unexpectedly, you can be proud of your inner self.

I suspect subconsciously you wanted a "girly" photo or you would have worn an all male outfit that day.

Most people won't study your photo that closely. If it bothers you, you could smudge it up a bit with dirty fingers.

yes...i agree, never too early to begin working on exactly what kind of dress to wear next time

Gotta remember them flash bulbs do a great expose.

Especially with nylon blouses.

Yes, Beverley is right. A flash provides light for something like 1/2000 of a second. Flash sync on an slr is something like 1/125 to 1/60 ONLY to ensure that the shutter is entirely open when the flash fires. So... The flash produces in 1/2000 s the same light that the room lights would produce in 1/50 s. That's 400 times more intense! No wonder flash cuts through everything - sheer layers, makeup etc!

I'm a little old to be girly but most all of my wardrobe is women's. I like the clothes and have worn them for a very long long time. I just found it interesting how much the bra showed.

By the way backlights are also dangerous. I've seen girls very embarrassed on dance floors as their bras glowed through their sweaters. This is that time of year when people have them on so be careful.

I suspect you meant to say "black lights" (ultraviolet light). Cameras are sensitive to a greater range of light colors than the human eye and some of the extremes show up in pictures even though we can't see them with the naked eye. This is how the "see in the dark" systems work.

You've learned a secret mostly known to professional photographers and English tabloids -- camera flash can penetrate clothing; especially synthetics or semi-sheer fabrics. Part of is it the high blue content of the flash, part of it is the film/sensor's greater sensitivity in that region, but it translates to x-ray vision. In the future wear cotton if you don't want to be outed (or rayon if you do.)

Right on Krisi it was black lights. Guess I let my mind wonder and fingers do the typing or autocorrect got me. I'm aware about photography and light also. It was a surprise that they wanted a new picture. Not the first time I've had pictures taken that showed some extras on me. I had other bras that probably would not have shown. When you have projection even if the bra doesn't show the girls will change the light pattern and the camera will show different colors and shadows too.
