Wow - I got a makeover in Austin by Jon Davis of Transformations Makeup and Hair and I am SO happy! I'll post the pics if they turn out when I get them imported to my PC.
So all my life I have gone with long wigs but tonight Jon did my makeup and said lets play with hair! He brought out a short wig and I looked at it sideways thinking "Yeh, lets get this over. Try it out then take it off se we can move on". Let's say I felt about short hair the way Karen Hutton feels about pants.
Well, I was SHOCKED when he put it on me because in my not so humble opinion it looks AWESOME! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The bad news is it was also twice the cost of any wig I've ever owned, but hey - you gotta have priorities!

Never say never. The picture in my current avatar was a wig I did not even want to try on. Now it's my favorite. And the one I just had to have is the one I like the least now.

Can't wait to see the photos Kimberly.

Hey... A wig doesn't have to be long to look right. I can't wait for the pictures. I'll bet it was a lot of fun.

I understand your glee! Similar feelings of "I don't know about that" turned out to be wonderful. My examples:

The earliest one I can remember, believe this or not, was floral patterns. When I was young I'd try red and black things. Never saw myself in a floral patterns. Wow!

You'd think I'd have learned through the years, but I was pleasantly surprised by capris, girl jeans, flats or kitten heels, sleeveless blouses, shaving the girly places. It goes on an and on.

On the other side. Things I thought I'd like but just don't work for me. Big hair. Longer jean skirts and dresses. Some other tops and dresses that just aren't cut right for me. (I know this is a common situation for all the girls. It's what makes shopping fun. Finding the things that work.)

Bottom line, don't judge until you've walked in their heels!

I've been looking at the place. Do you feel you "got what you paid for?"

Funny how others can see what you need. I like when my wife points out things and makes suggestions. She has never been wrong.

Kim, I think you just saw the value in your makeover. A professional can add to your look and choose items that are best for you! Can't wait to see the pictures.

Hi Kim, I can't wait to see the pics. I think you'd look good with short hair as long as it's styled to fit your face. I've been told I look better in short hair by others here.:happy:

Here are the pics from my makeover with Jon Davis in Austin Texas.
Like I said, my first time with short hair and I loved it!
Jon was great, very friendly, and VERY good at what he does. I have not felt so pretty in more than 10 years and I couldn't have been happier! If your ever coming to Austin, you should consider setting up an appointment. Call early though (as in weeks in advance) - Jon is well known and very popular and busy so you need to set it up well in advance.
See ya!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! You look GREAT! The short hair is very becoming on you. I had a similar experience with a transformation. At femmefever, Karen had me try on a red(ish) wig. Well color me red 'cause it looked great and since then I have not discounted anything ('cept blonde)
But enough about me........ you look great

Oh my gosh you look sooooo good! I've always said that guys like long hair but women look best with short hair and you're the prime example. You look younger too!

Kim -- I'm another one who thought you looked fantastic in your avatar pic. But those pics you've posted here are of an absolutely stunning girl. Your eyes are mesmerizing, beautiful. I see a new avatar pic from those new photos.

TxKimberly
03-11-2007, 08:15 PM
Because I AM consider changing my Avatar. Thing is, my current Avatar has been the way I think of myself for 20 years and I'm having a bit of trouble letting it go! Sniff sniff (just teasing)

Thanks again for all the kind words ladies! If you've never had a makeover by someone experienced with doing TG's, I highly recommend it at least once!

Kim,

You look great no matter what kind of wig you are wearing.....but, I still like the long hair wig on you better!!! <sorry>:o

Kim, You go Girl!!!!!
You have it all going, the hair, the makeup, the clothes.
You are just a perfect lady.
It must be wonderful to know that you can go into any store or any restaurant or any beauty salon, and that you are one of the best looking women there.
That's what CDing is all about. Being one of the girls and being proud of it!

love the wig and the look darling---My first wig was a short blond number---ala Sharon Stone or Susan--stop the insanity--Pouter---still looks great on me and when I'm going to an area like a mall or a store where I want to blend in and "pass" I wear that one---much more likly not to be noticed then when I wear the big hair. although in Texas, maybe I could get away with the big hair more--lol

Thanks ladies, I really appreciate the kind words.
I had a blast! I have had another makeover in the past, but while very pleased with it, the first one I didn't feel like it was "me". He put a heavy blue clay like makeup on 100% of my face to cover the beard, and then built a new person on top of it. I loved it and felt gorgeous, but not like "me".
With this makeover, I felt gorgeous and I felt like the person in the mirror was "me", and what I would be if I were female.
Sigh . . . now the only problem is trying to duplicate the look on my own! <G> I must have done a fair job today - read my thread about checking into the hotel!
Some days suck, and some days your on top of the world. Today, I'm riding high! :-)

How can I find this Jon Davis address in Austin.

Kim you look great. I have had 3 makeovers with John Davis in the past and he is awesome. If you gurls are ever in Austin TX you need to have Jon work his magic on you.
:love:

How can I find this Jon Davis address in Austin.

Here is info for contacting Jon Davis who is a full time beautician who does professional makeovers for Tgirls in Austin, Texas. He also travels the country to Trans gender events giving seminars and makeovers.
My avatar is a result of said make over:
Web: http://www.hometown.aol.com/transform2/
Email: transform2@aol.com
Phone: 888-708-TRAN
As I said, I've had one makeover by him and I couldn't be happier. He didn't just make me look pretty, he advised me on HOW to do it for myself. He also helped me realize that there was a better look for me than the one I have been using for 15 years.
Once again though, this is not a spur of the moment thing. Jon does an aw some job, has been doing so for many years, and is well known here, so he is very busy. In most cases, you will want to contact him weeks or more in advance!
If you want to talk about the experience please feel free to PM me!
