Guy in Dress Vs. Femme Fatale

How many femulators does it take to change a lightbulb?

Three: one to climb the ladder to change the lightbulb, one to hold the ladder and one to take photos of the event.

In addition to our handbags, scarves, hats, belts, jewelry, etc., our cameras are another accessory that many of us would not leave home without.

As a woman, I take photos at the drop of a hat, as well as when I pick up the hat and when I put the hat back on my head. I am a little embarrassed to say that I have over 6,700 digital photos of myself and probably another 500 film and Polaroid photos.

When I ask someone to take my photo, my excuse is that I need photos to "feed my blog," but that is only partly true. The primary reason that I take photos is to see how I look as a woman. Does my ensemble work today or did I make a fashion faux pas? Do I look like a guy in a dress today or do I look like a femme fatale?

There are ways to look more like the latter and less like the former. Two articles just came over the  mojo wire that are right on topic.
