Once while at the gas station and again at Fred Myers. I guess because my glasses and pageboy hair cut make me look fem plus I was clean shaven. Hopefully I can share some more images of me but I really need a ditgital cam instead of a web cam.

I bet you felt fabulous, I know I would have. :happy:

Have you tried your webcam in natural daylight? I found I got better pics when I stood near a window during the day. Just make sure that the camera isn't pointing directly at the window, make the light come in from the side.

Hi Cindy,It happens.I've been called "Mam","girlie" and "Rhonda".A couple of times i think it was because I was passing,hopefully.And a couple of times it was kind of a hostility thing.I turned 50 last year and I look sort of haggard and grey when I'm in drab so I get called Mister and Sir sometimes but "Mam" has it's special aspects for a cd'r.Samantha

I was out with my SO & my daughter for lunch somewhere new to eat and the waitres said " good afternoon ladies". With my hair all brushed out and not even dress in fem. she didn't see my face until she got around the table and handed my SO her menu. She apologize to me and turn red.

since my age prohibits me to use my voice much, I cannot fell the pleasure of being called mam, but I love when the younger among us go out there and mingle up! more of it! BTW cindychan you would pass even in men's attire!

lol. Funny thing is I'm not quite young (I'm in my early 30's). As for passing totally I'd have to lose another 20-30 Ilbs to reduce my upper torso size and arms. I really hacked my brows yesterday so I'll see how that goes. But thanks for the comments;)
