Just to chime in one more time, I do agree with Deedee and Charlene, just get out somewhere and people watch, malls, airports, parks, wherever. Watching girls is fun anyway, you'll see lots of things to emulate and model your own behavior and style on as well as lots of things to avoid.

Hugs...Joni Mari

Watch the movie "Legally Blonde" and look for "The Move." It says a lot.

Yay, I effin found it...took forever. Here's the addy http://www.biomotionlab.ca/Demos/BMLwalker.html.

I find the happy, nervous, light female to be particularly entertaining. Oh, and click on "lines" just below the "on/off", it connects the dots. Have fun. FWIW, it does show how differently men and women move, as if we didn't know that already. Myself, I tend to walk more femme without thinking about it, if I want to look all butch I have to make myself do it.

Wow what a great tool to use, Ive been wanting to find something like this I like the idea you can rotate the moving image and see it from side too, Thanx Joni.

I always wear a corset when I dress, it forces me to sit straight, but it seems every time I dress up, I have good posture. I have had people coment on it. I don't know why I do it, it just kinda happens.

Try not to stare too much or you may creep someone out.

I've found that a nice pair of sunglasses or "pretending to do something on my cell phone" works out well, not that I ever stare toooo long

What I learned years before many of you were born! ATTITUDE! CHIN UP, CHEST OUT, SHORTER STEPS WITH ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER, AND ARMS SLIGHTLY SWINGING! That was taught to me by a professional model over 50 years ago. I still practice it all the time. Your attitude is what makes it happen! Think of yourself modeling a pretty dress in front of several thousand people. Then think, CPCOSSAS (see above for explanation). That is the way I was taught to do it, and it does work. My late wife used to say that I walked more like a lady than she did!! We had a professional dancer friend who said the same thing. As my late wife used to say, "If you've got it, flaunt it!" And I did!

I found this site suggested on one of the boards last spring but haven't had time to fully check it out:

How about this - it's Denae Doyle's site. She was the femininity coach to Felicity Huffman in the movie Trans America. http://www.femimage.com/video_fm1-dvd.htm

Rachel, I own that DVD and it is pretty darn good if I may say so. Was thinking of starting a thread asking which sites help girls like us and ones that don't and just prey on us. Denae is one of the better if not the premier site.

Hi Janet,

You need to watch the "experts" i.e. genetic girls and practice, practice, practice. For me airports are fabulous but I travel a lot too. Malls, busy city streets etc are all good places to observe feminine deportment (the good, the bad and the ugly).

I'm always interested in new positions though I'm not as flexible as I used to be....

Joni, from the looks of your avatar, you're doing just fine with that flexibility thing
