Mihai

Kudos to wardrobe and makeup, eh? As Thalia:

 

Here's Mihai as Amy Winehouse:

Federico Angelucci sings "New York New York" as Liza Minnelli

Wow! This is fantastic and delightfully entertaining.

 

Happy Halloween 2018!!

Happy Halloween!

This is the lovely Silver Summers:

Sarah Lewis

Halloween pics through the holiday. Lovely Sarah Lewis writes an interesting blog, by the way:



This one is entitled "Strike a Halloween Pose"



Sarah owns a breast plate that allows her to pull off outfits like this:

Cristina Bugatty

[Halloween pictures return soon. Also, I corrected the spelling of Cristina's name.]

I have long marveled at the loveliness of Cristina Bugatty. However, I'm beginning to think that she's experienced a transformation. She no longer calls her youtube chanel Italia Crossdresser and she has removed some text saying that she does not live as a woman full-time.

For more concrete evidence of possible change, consider these pics from her Instagram feed:

I think this is an older photo, actually, as I recall a related video from some years ago (which seems to have been removed from her youtube channel):

Now 100% gurl? A model, perhaps?

Spesso mi chiedono se #mangio abbastanza, la risposta è si! Cerco però di non ingurgitare #mcdonalds dalla mattina alla sera. In alcuni periodi di stanchezza scendo di #peso diventando troppo #magra quindi cerco di #ingrassare un po’ ma di base non mi vedo anoressica. Mi sbaglio?

What do we think, dear readers?

Julia Panther

It's almost Halloween and I'm planning to post costumed pics of some lovely gurls.

Are you familiar with Julia Panther of Flickr fame (with a youtube channel too)?

Her public Twitter page includes links to many pics on the Flickr page, including this one:

Ice Princess, reflection in the mirror #flickr https://t.co/Wr6myGPjDp

— Julia Panther (@julia_panther) April 17, 2018

I hope I am not violating her trust by posting a couple of tweets and links. She promotes the fact that she has tens of millions of Flickr views and this blog doesn't generate any income for me.

In any case, this is one of my favorite glam pics of Julia.

Here is Julia keeping it real, pumping gas:

Ready for fall television

In the fall, television networks around the world broadcast versions of Your Face Sounds Familiar.

Sometimes, the results are truly amazing: Janek Traczyk performed frequently and convincingly last year as various female artists.

Here's a video that I have not previously posted.




I would not have chosen these clothes given Janek's physique. The linked videos of Janek performing as Anna Wyszkoni and  Nancy Sinatra reveal far better choices.

Every year it seems like a new femulating star is born. Who will it be this season?

As I've written in the past, I'd love to see an all-star femulating version of this show from around the world featuring the best of the best.

Gương Mặt Thân Quen 2018

Here's a very good performance by Đỗ Phú Quí as Camila Cabello:



The singer has appeared as various female singers this season, including these:

 

Marriage: Not a Fantasy

The androgynous designer and model formerly known as Peter Phan recently married techie Andrey Snow and is now Bella Snow!

On the bride and groom Instagram accounts, you can find various honeymoon pictures from Vietnam.

The bride's Insta account has years and years worth of pictures. Here's a nice old one:

Miss Leona

Miss Leona is on the 2nd edition of Chilean television program "The Switch." She's a leggy beauty with a terrific feminine voice. I don't speak Spanish, so I'm also grateful that she often sings in English.

 

This one is a tribute to Céline Dion:


Disco fever:



I wish RPDR placed more emphasis on singing.

Terrific monologues

These are a bit long (around 10 minutes each), but well worth your time. I wonder if River is writing and directing as well as starring in these videos? I expect so.

What a talented performer. The feminine facial details are amazing.

Someone in the biz needs to find work for River.






For some quick full-body looks, watch this video. 

Is River on other social media?

Pavel Arambula on The Switch II

As I've written in the past, Pavel Arambula can really sing. This song is Por Amarte Asi, performed on a Chilean TV show called "The Switch." In this drag show, the contestants have to sing. It's the second edition of the program:

 

Lucero (singing Cuentame):

 

Boys Will Be Girls

This post includes pictures of two clients of  Boys Will Be Girls.

I've mentioned the beautiful Lucy before:

 

This is sexy Sarah Lewis, ordinarily a fan of retro fashion. I've just started reading her wonderful blog. Have a look at this pic and then visit her website:

 

It seems like Cindy the makeup artist at BWBG makes the gurls look related to one another. Or maybe they look like members of a terrific secret sorority.

Beauty Pageant Fail

Sometimes, I tweet:

"She's a Man, Baby, a Man!"

 Finally, this is Jamie Gibson, looking terrific:



There are some interesting variations on youtube.

Natural Breast Growth?

I saw this today from the BBC:

Gynaecomastia is rare, and there is often no obvious cause. 

But there have been a number of cases linked to use of these essential oils. 

The American study found that key chemicals in the oils boost oestrogen and inhibit testosterone. 

Not everyone will have the same reaction to an essential oil. 

The plant-derived oils are found in a number of products such as soaps, lotions, shampoos and hair-styling products. They're also popular as alternative cleaning products and medical treatments.

More:

A previous study by Dr Kenneth Korach - who was also co-investigator for this study - found that lavender and tea tree oil had properties that competed with or hindered the hormones that control male characteristics....Dr Rod Mitchell, honorary consultant paediatric endocrinologist at the Queens Medical Research Institute in Edinburgh said the study "is important in establishing a possible mechanism for the suggested link between gynaecomastia and exposure to lavender and tea tree oils.

This was in the BBC story about the older study, which looked at the potential relationship between oils and breasts after several young boys starting developing breast tissue: "The team at the NIEHS carried out tests on human cells and found pure lavender and tea tree oils could mimic the actions of female hormones and inhibit the effects of male hormones, and therefore disrupt the endocrine system in the body."

Child hormone specialist Dr. Clifford Bloch of  University of Colorado Denver is quoted in the piece;

"Together, the case histories and NIEHS studies provide support for our hypothesis that topical exposure to lavender and tea tree oils likely caused gynaecomastia in the three patients." 

It is not known whether the oils could have similar effects on the endocrine systems of young girls, teenagers or adults.

Note: there are skeptics. 

"Baby it's Cold Outside"

I always thought of this as a Christmas song, but I now think it is simply a winter seasonal:

Hizaki

Over on the Cover Gurlz, I once blogged about Japanese guitarist Hizaki. Usually, Hizaki performs in long flowing gowns, somewhat reminiscent of a Parisian gothic look. Just peruse this Instagram account for proof.

With a little digging, however, there are other more modern pics out there, such as this 2016 Halloween image:
