The Gender Idenity Center Newsletter www.gicofcolo.org

Hello from Denae- I was sent this information for any TG women in the Denver area. If your group has a web site or newsletter, email it www.denaedoyle@femimage.com

Friends and Education are important when one is making decisions. This page has many other web sites and events in that area, and it sounds like Denver has a great web mistress along with all the volunteers, to help girls in the Denver area. Also, if your group has a newsletter or a website, please email me and I will post it on this blog. There has to be a group in any large center, if you need to meet others and ask questions.

Southern Comfort 2010 in Atlanta

 

Hello Everyone; Southern Comfort 2010 in Atlanta, where I gave two seminars… was really wonderful.  If any of you have SCC photos…you would like to share on www.FemImage.com do email them to me at: denaedoyle@femimage.com and add SCC photos in the subject line.

We had fun, with a Friday night dinner. Everyone was really dressed to impress (nicer than to kill). This was the 20th anniversay for SCC and on Sat night they took us through each year and the program. There were speakers from every state, many new to me.

 When, I first began SCC in 2000–the speakers were mainly me, Doug Osterhout, Toby Metzer, however now….there are doctors I have never heard of.  I do caution everyone, with any TG information to do your own research and talk to others.   Just because a surgeon has a web site, or speaks at a convention….doesn’t indicate how well experienced they are with TG work. Please ask others, check photos, and do your own homework with calling other girls or emailing.  Even, if you have to travel, or go into chat rooms where other girls have seen the good and the bad.  Go for experience, professionals that have been working withthe community for years. Oh yes, Dr. Doug Osterhout (Dr. O) has a NEW book out, of Feminization Facial Surgery (Amazon).  I want to thanDoug publically– for your only referral! I was so surprised, when he gave me his new book on the Fri night dinner. Doug said, “are you grateful”? “For what”, I smiled and aked? “For me recomending only one person.. you….. in my book”. I felt silly, not knowing this. What an honor. Thank you Doug–You’re The Best! We have worked with girls, together for over 11 years.

Oh yes, yes. NOW thefall fashions 2010 which JUST CAME OUT –in the stores! Early buying, gives youa betterselection or size and color. For everyone who wanted to know, where I got the black faux fur jacket, I wore at SCC, check out www.BeBe.com  they have it in brown this year, as well as black. Go for a Large Or xLarge, as BeBe runs small. Also, Love, Love, Love the knew boot heel/shoes. Not a boot, but a high-heel short boot-cut shoe. Great with very dark black or brown hose. Put withhot knee length dress or skirt–OR add the new  longer above the knee boots. Look for a zipper if you have wide calf. Easy fashions this year to find and purchase. Get the really dark panty hose in black, brown, grey. Boot, or shoe/boots. Great black dress or form fitting skirt.  Put a 2 inch belt with it, if you feel your waist isokay. Add, the new short fur jackets, Or the short, faux leather jacket with zippers on it. I love this look.  On the airline home–I was able to add in these same items with a pair or form fitting hot jeans–with the same shoe/boot, with the jacket, add a loose chain belt to the outside of the jeans. So, shop for lots of separates. Fun chains, and rings. One coat, with dress/skirt or jeans!!  For the dress I wore, go to www.BostonProper.com and you will see, they carry very feminine, yet sensual dresses.

Life is sooo good this year, with low cost dressing and separates.

Let me hear about your SCC experiences and send photos!! Why don’t any of you blog back? I feel, like I am writing to myself. I hate that!! Show me you care, and blog me! If my “comments” is not working, email me so I can get my web mistress to correct any issues…at denaedoyle@femimage.com   blog in subject line!

Hugs from Santa Cruz, CA…The Northern California TG Hub. Denae, Doug Osterhout, Judy Van Maasdam (gender therapist at Stanford), Joel Beck,  Toby Metzer close by, and now–just moved here with us from CO is Dr. Marci Bowers. Come see us!

PS: Do any of you have a small Maltese?  I love them, and I’m addicted to buying them. So, just send me your cutest Maltese photo!! I’m serious. Show me your Maltese and if anyone is interested I will post a new photo of my new one.

San Francisco, TG Convention…..NEW and FUN July 10

Hello All, I will be speaking next Saturday, at the New Pacfic Coast Living TG Conference.  You have to type in Living….Pacific Coast Living Conference .

Take a look, at their web site. If you can’t travel to work with me in Santa Cruz, do email me and perhaps we can do a short mini consultation, while at the convention!

Great speakers, then dinner and dance Sat night. This is their first year, and you will need to stay in your own hotel, which keeps the cost of the conference board, down….as they don’t have to reserve 100 rooms for a year…with a hugh down payment. So, if you’re in the area, or if you’re close and can come by for one night…you  will enjoy the conference and  hear some of the best speakers who are flying in,—ask for a private consultation with them, while there. The New Northern CA TG Hub, which I put together…will all be there–we are all in the SF and San Jose area, and we include: Denae Doyle, Dr. Joel Beck, Dr. Marci Bowers )moved here last month from CO) Dr. John O’Dea who is the only endo using bio adentical hormones, and of course..Dr. Dolug Osterhout is in the SF area.

Come to my seminar! I have so many new things to show…I am excited!
