Please give me second opinions on how I look :-D

[emily.parker]

Hello everyone,

I am Emily and from New Zealand. This is the first time I ever posted on internet about me dressing up :-D I used to dress up only for a couple of hours at home alone. But recently, I built up enough courage to go out and open about me being myself (excluding family who live across different country). Now I dress up full-time and it is fantastic. I haven't been wearing (don't want to) male clothes for like 2 months now :-D
I am kinda loner and have no one to get genuine second opinions on how I look when I dressed up. I am not sure how passable I am. (I am sure I am not 100% though)
Could you please give me some thoughts given I behave like a girl would? I attached my photo below.

Thanks ahead and Merry Christmas to all :-D

Makeup is good. Hair style is good. Glasses are not femine or unisex. Eyebrows are way too thick for N.A. Don't know what NZ is like. check out others, is anyone close to that thickness. Need more than a head shot to give much feedback.

Emily, you look great to me. Anything else you do would be to suit your personal style I think. Good on you!

[Robin414]

You look terrific hon!

Hi Denise, thanks for the reply and feedback. I added more shots to the original post :-D
I ordered a new female glasses last week. hehe quite exciting to get it. I got a purple one.
I just shaped my eyebrow yesterday. Probably, I used too much liner :-D I will have a look that again.

[Judy-Somthing]

I would say yes.

Have you worked on your voice?

I would say yes.

Hi Judy,

I haven't worked enough on my voice yet. At the mean time, I am speaking less and when I have to, I tried to lower my voice. Any advice would be appreciated :-D

[Eryn]

If you walked past me at the mall I wouldn't give you a second look! You look like a mainstream GG!

Don't go crazy on your voice. Raise the register a bit and try to resonate in your head rather than your chest. The more you practice, the better you get and the more confidence you will have. Get out there and talk to people!

[AllieSF]

Emily, I think that you look just fine. There are 2 or more other girls here from NZ. Hopefully you will get a chance to communicate with them. Welcome to the site.

Add a few rings and a purse could only help.Love the bracelet you have on.
You look nice as is just maybe brush your wig a little more.
Overall you do look great,if I passed you in a mall I would think you were a girl.

[jazmine]

i personaly think you look great and agree with Eryn.
I say; You are SuperCute!
....and beautiful!!!

Hi Emily,

Your face and skin tone have a very feminine appearance - no trace of beard shadow. Also full feminine cheeks. This all looks natural. I would instantly take you to be female, without a second glance.

Welcome to the forum, Michelle

Hi Emily,

As others have said, if I passed you in the mall I doubt I would give you a second look as you definitely blend in as a woman. However, presentation is only half the battle. Some have pointed out "voice" so practice as interaction in public is inevitable. As well, mannerisms, movement and walk can given even the prettiest CDer away. Take some time (if you have not already) to study women and how they move, manipulate a purse and other items, gesture and whatnot. There is no one way to do so but if you take time to study many and incorporate into your own way of moving, it will make blending easier.

All this to say . . . you look great :)

Cheers

Hi Emily,

Where to start with the criticisms? Er...none!

You don't have overtly masculine features which is always a good start. Even your fingers look slender...damn you :heehee:.

Style wise, you are equipped to blend, which is the holy grail for many of us here. I seriously don't see anything to worry about. Just watch and learn from the GGs in your area and incorporate into your own style and presentation. Trimming the eyebrows is a great feeling and looks fantastic too. So, just go get your girl on.

the glasses will work. the full images show you look like a gg. Now go out there and observe body movements so you can minic them

e.p:

Very nice presentation!

I worked in Taiwan for 6 years and have also traveled to Japan and Korea. You look is very similar to many of Asian women that I've seen. Your facial features are more rounded, which is typical for women of Asian ancestry, compared to western women. I don't know how it is in New Zealand, although I've been to Australia, but your glasses are similar to many that I've seen on women in the above countries. The styles just seem to be more simple and uncomplicated. Many started wearing glasses at young ages and parents would probably choose simple, less expensive styles as kids tend to break them or lose them. That thought process may carry over into adulthood.

Hair is good; it seems to frame your face well. I would have chosen a more colorful outfit, but that is entirely personal preference. To me, there is a fine line between blending and being nonediscrept. There isn't much point in blending if you're in the midst of people who don't give a shit.

Eyebrows:
There seems to be a shift towards stronger and more defined eyebrows. Sofia Vergara is a Columbian actress and has done movies in the US and is currently one of the lead characters in a long-running US TV show.

As other girls have pointed out, there is much more to coming across as feminine than photos can show. I can say, though, that what I see in your photos is 100% female. Well done.

[Kate T]

You look fine Emily. In fact you look great.

It is time to learn more about yourself an worry less about how you look. And you need to get out in public if this is the pathway you want to go. You will easily "pass", you just need to watch and be mindful of how people, particularly women interact with others.

Good luck

[Angie G]

I think you look quite nice and look passable. I've senn many GG'S the don't look as good as you.:hugs:

Emily, I will write what you don't want to read but must know. You are a man dressed as a woman. DRESSING as a woman is not the same as being a woman. There are a million cues that allow anyone to recognize the difference between the sexes. Maybe 1 in 10 million cross dressers hit the genetic lottery and actually pass as a genetic woman. You and I are not among that lucky few. Even a transsexual can have a difficult time passing.

everyone here want to pass. Forget the fantasy of "passng" and go out with confidence and enjoy yourself. The public will accept you as you. Go out without confidence and the public will notice you in a bad way.

Best of luck

A Cardigan is a good choice for hiding your shoulders and waistline. I think your hemline is a bit short. Probably a tall-sized dress or a two piece outfit would look more natural. The tights look nice. Your jewelry is pretty. The glasses do not scream male or female. You really should add a smile. That might be the best accessory for anyone! :)

Thank you everyone for all for the awesome feedback and advice :-D
