    A question for the USA Gals..

    Question for all you USA ladies.. later this year i will most likely be in the US on business and have to go to a few cities, I also will have a few days spare and want to have a transformation/makeover and outing somewhere really really great... so I am calling out to all you US girls to recommend places... I have some flexibility about where I am going. For those of you who don't know me I am quite experienced and have been out some 25 times, I just love transformations/makeovers.

    thanks in advance Ladies....

    Becky, I have had a transformation at True Colors in Bethlehem Pennsylvania, and can highly recommend. So if you are visiting Philadelphia, NYC, Washington DC, etc. it is doable. There is a nice hotel at the casino nearby that you can stay at.
    Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".

    I advise you to look along the Boulevard in Hollywood, there are a few in the area.

    You have to get to L.A. first.

    You need to research them firstand the same applies to Chicago, New York, Seattle and San Fransisco.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    I know of a couple of CDs that had makeovers at Janet's Closet in Wyandotte, MI (Detroit area). I've never had one anywhere myself.

    What part of the country are you going to be in, and how long are you going to be here? The US is a HUGE place.

    If you are going to be in the San Francisco area Carla’s is the place to go. She is located in San Jose. Great people! I had a fantastic make over and then stayed to visit over the Friday lunch with the girls. Highly recommend.

    There r a number of T makeover places in or near Los Angeles. Tons of places to visit dressed there, too.

    Vegas has a few T friendly makeup services and countless places to go dressed!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    I’ve been lucky enough to have a couple make overs by Elizabeth who is located right outside Washington DC. I have not been to her new place but have read it’s amazing. Go to www.makeoversbyelizabeyh.com to get more information. Good Luck!

    ...and if you're going to be in the Houston area, PM me. There's no longer girl fantasy camp, providing complete transformation services, but I can hook put you in touch with TG friendly makeup artists. We might even be able to schedule a GNO around your visit.

    Sephora, if you can find one of their larger, stand-alone stores in a mall, as opposed to the store in a store mini Sephora outlets inside a J C Penney store. The smaller ones only do partial makeovers, like eye makeup. The full-ize stores do wonderful full makeovers, and are very trans-friendly.

    Thanks ladies your suggestions are much appreciated.

    Over the years I have travelled extensively in North America and have had makeovers at Wildside in Toronto, My Changing Room in Boston and have been out in Chicago and San Francisco (Multiple times). This trip involves a few places, as yet to be confirmed exactly, but at least one West Coast one Midwest and one East Coast... I will be aiming to fit in 24 hours off of Becky time, thus my generic question thus far.

    Ceera, I am looking for the whole thing not simply makeup as I wont be able to take any of Becky's stash with me

    I have known Beth for quite a while and she has a thriving business doing makeovers for T-Girls. She also has clothes and wigs to borrow, and will even take you out on the town if you can afford it. She will also take pics so you can remember the event.

    Amanda Rich at True Colors does a wonderful makeover, and also has clothes, shoes, wigs and jewelry for pics. I got a few hundred pics to remember my makeover.

    My profile pic is from one of the makeovers Amanda did for me.

    There's also Scarlett in New England somewhere, Amy in Las Vegas and Monica Prata in New York City.

    If you need clothes you can always rent upscale designed clothes at Rent The Runway.

    Hi, I'm Steffi and I'm a crossdresser... And I accept and celebrate both sides of me. Or, maybe I'm gender fluid.

    I’ve had make overs by Amanda of True Colors and Liz Taylor at makeovers with Elizabeth. Wonderful work by both. A third person I used was Phoebe Cross in suburban Atlanta. She also has lots of outfits and levels of experiences. I think in most large American cities you can find a service to meet your needs. Just tell us and we will chime in if we know someone nearby. Welcome to the USA.
    Be yourself. Everyone else is taken!

    Sadly, Mike "Jamie" Austin, at Glamour Boutique, in Auburn MA, passed away a couple years ago...he did beautiful "over the top" glamorous transformations...I do so miss him and his artistry

    As much as i'd like to be able to steer you my way, so I could meet you in person (hey, i'm kinda selfish like that), I doubt that my home state has much to offer in the way of full services.
    I've chatted with a few local gals over the years who know great TG make-up artists, but that's about it.

    Thanks for all the suggestions and advice... alas it looks like my US trip will be delayed till next year.. I am going to London instead so I will have to start a new thread on the same theme for English girls.

    A while back someone here was compiling a list of makeover places and even had the beginning of an interactive map of America with the all places and their contact info on it.

    I will see if I can find that, the data might be old but it's a good starting point.

    Victoria is amazing. I went to her last year for my first makeover. I am going to her llater yhis month for my first night out. Portland is very progressive and accepting of all people, and it is a pretty cool city.
