HI NieA,
First Donna failed to point out she shoots a mean stick too! (pool!)
On a more serious side, I am not sure where you are from but some make-up sales outlets like Merle Norman will give you a "make-over" including tips on how to do make-up. Of course they expect you to buy something that they offer. If you pursue that route, call first and ask if they work with transgendered folk and also when would be the best time to come in and who do you ask for. You will be surprised as I am sure you would not be the first to ask that. Some beauty shops also offer that service as well. You can also go the department store route as well, but unless you have an "in your face" attitude, you know you will be out in public in an aisle with lots of folk going by, but if you do you will find the sales ladies falling all over each other to help you out. Most of the major lines of cosmetics have "counters" in the major department stores. I went to the Seporia and other than the fact that their stuff is very high end, I got some good pointers from their rep!
As for your weight, note that GG's come in all sizes and shapes and weights. As a former world champion in my sport, it is the old adage, "how bad do you want it!?" Diet and exercise, but you have to be willing to "git 'er dun!" as that whack-o redneck says!
Judging from the picture you look pretty good. Of course there are the good and bad about losing weight, the good is more shopping and the bad is more shopping!!!
Keep us posted,
Virginia
