Dear Friends.
>I do support enforcement ot dress requirements, but you need to
>lighten up a bit. Having someone travel half way round the world
>just to be told to leave is a bit much!
We need to lighten up a lot.
>This is the kind of cruel behavior
>I expect of insecure genetic females. People come from all over
>the world to this venue to be supported in ways they cannot find
>support in their daily lives. If they cannot be supported by their
>peers then who else can they turn to?
Agreed.
>I actually do support dress and behavior guidelines
>and understand the need for enforcement. But what I'm saying is
>maybe you want to re-think your approach and perhaps act on these
>issues with compassion & integrity.
We must be compassionate, and not enforcing, we must emphasize
diversity. we are all beautiful people, the world may not think
so at times. We need to focus on what is in our hearts.
>Would like to scrap the "natural way" This is fine but men must
>put it on. I noticed far to many dressed nicely but yet needing
>beard cover if it shows cover it. Just more on fashion and
We cant hold these things against people. i'm not going to demean
someone because they have beard shadow. I'm not better than anyone
else.
>I think the fashion police went too far this year.
I think so too.
>Surprised at comment on inappropriateness of a halter dress at the
>Bahama Breeze dinner.
I'm surprised too.
>I was quite dissapointed about the lack of an honest effort to pass.
>Most of the gurls were there to dress, but did not really try to
>pass. And made me uncomfortable when in a group.
Why are we so worried about passing? I am not ashamed to be around
people who don't pass. I usually don't pass myself.
>i live full time and to have someone
>tell me how to dress is out of order
I agree with you.
>monday night i was handed a sheet of paper telling me how i should
>dress i have never been so humiliated in my life thankyou and to
>finish of you even did the same to reel femail who was with us as
>a guest dont you have any brains
I apologize.
>There are still a few attendees dressing in T-shirts and jeans to
>most events. I would like to see all of these wearing some make-up,
>and more femanine dress. This would include pants and jackets as
>well as dresses or skirts. If you are going to "go there," go in
>style with a beautiful smile and enjoy every minute of it!
What's wrong with tshirts and jeans, (and PUMPS).
>t-girls should be accepted as they are and not have criticism of
>their dress (as long as it is respectable), wigs and makeup. We
>choose our own particular style and that should be remembered.
>Who has the right to say otherwise?
No one had the right to judge. let's focus on big stuff. body
odor and bad breath, filth or indecency are not acceptable. other
than that, please let's not judge.
>We also choose the age and fashion that best suits our outlook
>and feelings. It should be remembered that most of us want to be
>noticed and admired, if not then we would probably go for a sex
>change and try to merge into the background.
True, let's not pigeonhole ourselves.
>Remember that the word DIVA means "special", "a goddess" so we
>should not be told to look like old frumps.
It's what's inside that counts. Let's not be so worried about the
external.
>It seems to me that people should take DLV as a
>learning experience and do better each year and for the most
>part they are.
Do better at what?
It's normal for people when they are upset about something to talk
about it. I am willing to lend an ear to those who need to vent.
>There is a lot of conversations about people not dressing their
>age or not attempting to look like a woman. Let's focus on the
>people that dress and act like whores in public, Keep your asses
>covered and your wigs on.
Such is true, but let's focus on general decency, not on age.
>LADIES do not go around bending over to show off your chest. TOTAL
>RED FLAG, if someone want's a closer look, date them!
True, let's not get cited for indecent exposure.
>Yes, if you are going to dress like a woman,you HAVE to wear makeup,
>believe me you natural beauty is not shining thru. There are very
>few of us that can claim to "totally pass as a woman", ladies what
>about using the verbage, I'm "acceptable" as a woman in public.
Should you have to wear makeup. i think not. It should be a
personal choice. Why must we be so worried about passing. this
is not supposed to be a masquerade party.
Sincerely, joan here in very hot LV, with freshly waxed eyebrows.
