But I was talking to a certain "Downtown Trannie" who was possibly going on The Howard Stern Show to get a free boob job (from that Long Island guido doctor who gives boob jobs to the G.G. strippers). She would of course be humiliated by Howard and probably have to sleep with Stuttering John, K.C. or some angry black dwarf or worse but would get the free boob job. I hope she gets it. (I guess)

there are better ways, ie- less humiliating, to get desired surgeries. Capital One has a credit line just for cosmetic surgery, and this is one option. Another option is to have a sugar daddy finance it. The more preferable option, of course, is to work and save the money for it.

A friend of mine leaves in June for Phuket for her vaginal instillation, and she worked hard and saved her pennies to do so. More importantly, I think she feels all the better for doing it that way.

did Hillary Clinton have an eye job? by the looks of her TIME magazine cover- the laugh & worry lines give her character and obviously respect in Congress, but she looks so refreshed, just in time for her book tour.

so my friend who cuts my hair has returned from Thailand with her new vagina. She came over to visit the nurse the other day, and we chitty chatted about her whole experience (with me curiously enthralled with the medical aspects of surgery). then she lifted her skirt, dropped her panties and showed it to me. looks like the genuine article to me, albeit a bit swollen, but that will resolve in time. cheers to her and her set of dilators!

Has anyone checked out "Boobs" yet? (It's a banner on the Queen Mother site).
BOOBS Banner
They were making boobs for breast cancer ladies and thought to offer them to trannies too. Sounds like a good idea.

is that sherry vine on that banner?
did she get free titties for that?

Oooh, has anyone seen poor Marie Osmond recently? Yanked too tooo toooo tight, and she looks a fright with her eyebrows up to her hairline. Apparently is suing the doctor who messed her up.

In contrast, I saw Charlie's Angels last night, and Demi Moore has had such work done, but such good work too. She looks amazing...

Yes, that is Sherry Vine and yes, she did get free titties.
Scared of you Goblin!

And if Marie gets pulled any tighter she'll be wearing a beard!

Well she SWEARS she didn't get any "work" done,she says that New Babe Bod is the result of the "Raw" diet(no cooked food -no dairy ect. ) and surfing- if that was true- I would learn to surf YESTERDAY and eat carrots till i was freakin' orange! not to mention: think of all the money everyone would save with a little "discipline" and a boogie board! I just get annoyed by people who can't admit they've gotten surgery! (apparently)It's like people who wear coloured contacts and swear that they're "natural" even though they look pocessed (sp?) by a demon!

NOBODY spooks
better than goblin!!!

like zsa zsa told merv griffin once on his talk show when he asked her how she looked so good (implying her advancing age)..."exercise and diet, dahlink"...honey, just be honest- it's all about the freshening things up.

that is what plastic surgery is there for...i went in for my 7 month postop nose pictures yesterday. and i was quite pleased when i saw the before ones (even though they are such unflattering clinical pictures). such a subtle change makes all the difference in one's appearance. i have no problem talking about it because i am very happy with the outcome. now my officemate who is hitting 50 this fall wants her eyes done, and all i can be is positive & supportive and i hope she does it (she admitted to me she never thought she would want to have surgery but now every morning in the mirror she thinks about doing it and pulls her skin back). it is a good thing, if it makes you feel better, just by looking better. like our program for the cancer patients LOOK GOOD, FEEL BETTER (where they get tons for free high end make-up, lessons & tricks of the trade for eyebrows, scarf & wig tips & styling). the same premise applies to people in the general population. by looking good, it's both beneficial and therapeutic. daddy, what are your thoughts?

my parting words to the surgeon at the end of the visit (side note* who i used to think was ok, attractive yes, but married with 4 kids, not sexy; however, this time, he was there all tanned in his white oxford unbuttoned at the throat, and well it kinda took my breath away- so i thought maybe these sudden feelings were based on gratitude for what he did for me with my nose and the lipo...and then my friend who just had her vagina installed said the same thing to me last night about her Thai surgeon. so i wonder do others have the same feelings for their plastic surgeons?). anyway, my parting words were "i'm done for now, but i am sure i will be back", and his reply was "yes, there's always something" and he smiled at me as he shook my hand. Ooohh...i had to smoke a cigarette after i left his office.

Check out the latest issue of New York magazine (October 6, 2003). It has an entire section devoted to the Best Plastic Surgeons to go to in the City.

The cover is pretty cool too - it shows a face shot of a woman with all the parts of her face labeled: botox, forehead lift, collagen injections, etc...

This issue has a cool article on the latest Anti-aging treatments (like restolyne, etc), plus a piece on the new faboo TV show Nip/Tuck...

Yikes!

yes, and i was pleased to see that the Park Ave doc who did my nose almost a year ago was listed as one of the up & coming plastic surgery docs...validating my impression of him (who else knows better than a nurse?). And another fascinating tidbit was that another up & comer doc on that list0 was a med student at Georgetown when I worked in the hospital there, and I thought he was good then, and well he proved me right. But thanks to the wonders of aesthetic surgery...none of us has to look our chronologic age!

but more importantly, did anyone see Barbra (bragging about schtupping James Brolin and hawking her new CD) today on Oprah? O.M.G.! We all know she had her face lifted over the summer, and kudos to her for doing so, but what was with the funky turtle neck (and oh so boring Donna Karan beige sweater set?) covering her neck? Botched surgery? Healing scars? Chicken neck? It just smelled of a coverup...know what I mean?

Ooooo yeah! I finally have a date for surgery the morning of March 29. I'm finally turning my straight as a tree ass and hips into the curvier look I've wanted ever since I was a teenager. Now my bottom will more closely match my bustline. I'm already looking forward to strutting around the Nude Beaches at Sandy Hook and Jones Beach. The surgeon is Dr. Senderoff and the price is $6,000. They are silicone gel in strong bags and will be placed beneath the muscles and held in place there. They should look quite natural. I only wish that they were even larger, as they will only give me moderate definition, but definite definition none-the-less. I'm not looking forward to the post-op pain though which can be severe.

sweet dear stacey, but that is why there is the valley of the dolls...pain can always be medicated! let's make sure we talk before your surg date, as i have been known to be helpful in such matters...

Oh you're so sweet! Thanks Randella. I'll need some moral support as well, even though this is my fourth surgical procedure for feminizing my bod. It's always scary. General Anesthesia scares me. It's like dying. The strangeset thing is that I often have no memory of going out. I remember talking to the people in the OR and then the next thing I know I'm coming to in a recovery room in great pain. Also it always takes me a long time to be able to stand up without fainting afterwards. The nurses seem to always be so impatient too, that I have to get up and on my feet before I'm ready. The exception to painful awakenings was after my breast implants. That was so easy and painless. My friend Jimi and I actually took the train home from there! I even stopped taking the pain killers the next day.

BTW Randella, LAD showed me photos from your birthday party last year and you looked sooo cute (as always).

well, with general anesthesia you are the closest to death but chemically induced...so you have to have a tube that breathes for you, and the reason the nurses are seemingly impatient is that they have to get you moving after anesthesia to get it out of your system, but your natural inclination is to want to sleep, but it's part of the recovery process. if they seem impatient, it is only to help rouse you back from that maximully sedated state- get your blood flowing, your lungs moving, and your conciousness restored. best yet, they give you a hypnotic drug called versed that reverses your memory of anything during the procedure, which is why you never remember going out...similar drug to rophynol.

that said, i totally understand both the anxiety about the procedure (i went through that with all that led up to my rhinoplasty) and the excitement too! for the potential of what the surgery will do and so on, but within a realistic outlook...it's an enhancement. and it usually is a therapeutic change too. i know my nose was for me, best thing i did for myself. kudos to you girlie for following a dream.

and like when i left my surgeon last summer after my follow-up photos, and he said "there's always something else." yes there is, but amanda lepore's line to me is the best "a trannie's work is never done."

"a hypnotic drug called versed that reverses your memory of anything during the procedure,"

Ohmygod! That is too weird! That seems to be exactly what happened each time except one, which was for a non-cosmetic procedure I had over 10 years ago. In that case, I actually have a memory of going out as they administered the anesthesia. It was like casting off in a boat, off into a dark sea. So scary, yet increasingly relaxing too, as all strength ebbs swiftly away. Strange. So much like dying.

But those other times for cosmetic surgery I could never make sense of, until now. I never heard of that drug Versed before.

I also am looking forward to the next procedure already, which will be permanent lip enhancement, speaking of Amanda. I don't want really big lips, just voluptuously full girly lips. I also plan to go another breast size larger (or two) someday. I'm a full C cup now, but want to go a full D or maybe DD. But I'll be paying off my ass and then my lips for a couple of years before I even can consider getting larger breast implants. But I still think about them just the same. I also want to get silicone breast implants. The saline implants are too hard, but I do like the firm look that they have.

He prescribed me for Percocets and Antibiotics. The Percocets are good painkillers, but Delta sleep is impossible on them and they make me constipated. After my Rhinoplasty I was afraid to budge, or move my mouth or face for a couple of days for fear of bleeding more, so I couldn't talk or eat. I couldn't stay asleep so I was in a round-the-clock stupor watching cable TV. Thank Goddess for Bravos late night independent and foreign films, and Turner Classic Movies around the clock.

Thanks for the support Randella.

honey, that's what nurses are for.

some senna (in tablets or tea) daily along with some docusate sodium (a softener)- both over the counter- will keep your motility going while taking the painkillers, since all narcotics are constipating.

i love hearing your wish list...i have mine too, for when i finish school, i want to erase any signs of the toils it took to get there (2 more years) and i plan to have my eyes freshened up just a touch...there's always something.

Randella, why exactly is Versed given in the first place. I can handle the fear of general anesthesia without it. Can I refuse to take it? THose other surgical procedures that I had and didn't remember going out with the anesthesia, did someone hand versed to me and I swallowed it but have no memory of it. In that case, now that I know about it, can I just say no.
