Travis and I met at an LGBT Thanskgiving Dinner in 2012, and we hit it off immediately as I perused his drag queen photos on his cell phone. Travis dresses as Abby Cadabra for performance art and to express himself in sometimes outlandish ways that his guy side just can’t justify. While Travis and Abby don’t fall under the transgender or crossdresser umbrellas, they are a part of my male-to-female transformation photo project and are allies of the transgender community. Abby and my trans-women friends hit it off at my Saint Patrick’s Day party, and Abby has extended an invitation to my friends to attend her Halloween blowout party.
In this photo series, Abby applies her own makeup, affixes her breast forms, styles her own hair, and selects her own clothes and accessories. She hams it up for the camera keeping true to her 1950s Stepford Wife persona and the drag queen role of performance art.

Chef Chris Shows off her New Look and Outfits
Chris created her new look at her January makeover with Elizabeth Taylor. Chris loves wine, food, cooking, and hospitality so much so that she cooked and presented Anglo-Indian food for my February Trans-Women and Allies party. As a sommelier and wine educator, I paired the wines to her flavor-packed dishes to rave reviews. Check out the DC Trans-Ladies Meetup Group to find out about and RSVP to my parties.
Transformation: From Jack to B’Ellana
B’Ellana volunteered for my Male-to-Female Transformation photo project showing the transformation of Jack to B’Ellana. I applied makeup using a combination of Mary Kay and MAC skin care and cosmetics. B’Ellana styled her hair and chose her clothes and accessories. She identifies as dual gender and feels more complete as a person being able to express both her male and female sides. B’Ellana will be attending the Keystone Conference in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and is a member of the Vanity Club, a sorority for trans-women.
Meagan Shows off her Little Black Dress Look
As a birthday present to herself, Meagan treated herself to a Total Deluxe Makeover! In contrast to her whimsical sailor outfit, she models a cocktail party look including a little black dress (LBD) complete with soft pink accessories. She selects a dark purple smokey eye look and pink passion lips. Everything from Meagan’s LBD look except for her heart necklace is from Elizabeth Taylor’s studio wardrobe. At the end of her makeover and photo shoot, she changed into her blue jeans, black waist cincher, white blouse, gray scarf, and black boots for a birthday dinner at Freddie’s Beach Bar.
