Well, we were out last night clubbing Thursday 24th and I had a philanthopic interlude just like Ang's experiences with Sam.
Five of use were enjoying ourselves and going 'Over the top a bit. As seen below. (The famous five.)
Well, anyway this poor kid (all of eighteen) was eyeing us up enviously and eventually Matti and I noticed. She was almost in tears for she had just been teased by her gay friends for admitting she would love to 'dress up' (Can kids still be that naive today?)
We heard her shouting at the gay friends and the barman approached her and asked her to 'tone it down a bit love.' She stumbled accross to where we five were sat chatting to the 'fet-life crowd' and asked if she could join us. At first were were a bit circumspect cos' she had just been told to behave by the landlord. She wasn't drunk just upset that the gay people she thought were friends had turned out to be quite nasty. When we asked her why she was crying, she explained that her gay friends had pilloried her for 'flying under false colours' and not admitting from the off that she was tranny as well as gay.
How can people be so cruel?!!
Well Matti, (see below,) who was nineteen took her under her wing and invited her to stay with us if she felt more comfortable.
The girl told us she had never ever had the opportunity to go out dressed and went on to explain to us how envious she was of our life-styles.
Can you believe it, she'd never been out dressed and she was eighteen. Can you believe anybody would be envious of 'our life-style'? Well yes actually, probably every young trans person as and when they finally break free.
So Andrew joined us and started to 'come out'. She chose the name Andrea cos it doesn't 'out' her if anybody calls her Andy when she's in male mode. (Our advice.)
Well the upshot was she latched onto Matti who is a STUNNER! See below.
Matti is a make up artist who works at New Look and she now lives full time as a girl but she's not TG she's full time TV. her employers are fully aware of matti's status but because she's such a brilliant make-up artist, they employ her at their boutique in the new store locally.
The girl Andrea was distressed after being evicted by her parents on her eighteenth birthday for being gay but she had been offered a room in an LGBT hostel starting the following day. That night she was homeless.
Yes, apparently it still happens. That night she was feeling her way around the gay scene and anticipating being stuck out all night without a bed until the following day. Earlier that evening, she had been shocked to learn that some gays could be cruel about her being a tranny.
Well the upshot was that we took her under our wing as below,
That's me in the hat.
Andrea eventually 'confessed that she desperately wanted to go out dressed and asked Matti if she could help her.
Matti of course, being a nineteen-year-old tranny was unable to help but lo-and-behold! I was able to play fairy god-mother.
"Come with us Andrea, and you shall go to the ball!" Says I amidst much cheering from the rest of our 'gang'
Off we went to Beverly's now infamous 'Tranny-van' and promptly gave dear Andrea a makeover. Boots, (She's size 8.) jeggins, bra and panty set (unopened,)purple bootlace top cos' it was bloddy hot last night and one of my old wigs which I no longer use cos' I've got my own hair!
Matti did the makeup and in less than 15 minutes Andrew was transformed into Andrea. (Yes it was a bit of a 'rush job'.)
See below.
Not bad for her first ever time out dressed. She was sitting in my van for the last piccie.
I know it's not perfect but it was the first time and that wig has been lying crumpled up in a polythene bag at the bottom of my van for nearly two years. Nevertheles, poor Andrea was absolutely bedazzled with our kindness.
One very happy bunny for the rest of the night. She slept over at Matti's flat that following morning.(Today,) and I collected my wig and boots back this afternoon. I let her keep the lingerie, leggins, top and ear-rings. This afternoon she was crying with happiness when I left Matti's flat.
Philanthropy, just like Cathy with Sam in Bike.
It gave me a really warm feeling to be able to help a fellow T-girl.
Happy travelling fellow tee-girls.

I'm totally Jealous!
to get a makeover like that - and better yet, to come out looking that good .... I can only dream of it.
Nice of you hon. Brava!
Beverly the Wonderful
Yay Bev!!!! That is an almost perfect "faery godmother" story.
with love,
Hope
Once in a while I bare my soul, more often my soles bear me.
Good Deal!
Not only is it a great story of kindness, it is quite well illustrated with the pictures :)

Thank you, Beverly,
You are a very special person!! Like Skipper.
ALISON
You need another name.
Like Flutter, or Spice or Guarder or you need to think of a few Tinker-Bell is already taken.
With those with open eyes the world reads like a book
For what it's worth...
... You probably just saved that young woman's life with your kindness. :-) *hugs* Kudos to you all, and best of luck to her. If I lived on the right side of the pond I'd offer to help with emotional support (Not much else I can help with *giggle*)
It continues to sadden me that the gay/lesbian community can be so cruel, especially when so many of them know how much it hurts being on the receiving end of said hatred. I guess hate begets hate :-( I really am blessed to have met someone who loves and accepts me for me, who accepts us for who we are.
I hope everything works out for Andrea. She looks so happy, and she really has a lot of potential. :-)
Andrea
Thanks Beverly for telling us about Andrea! Every new 'gurl' needs someone to help them the first time out (after all, you can't do it for the second time, until you have done it the first!), and I applaud you and your friends for helping her out, and making this first venture in public enjoyable!]
OMG! What have you unleashed upon the world?
Please give Gloria the well deserved thanks and praise for her efforts, and thanks and praise to those who helped make this a memorable event for her.

Andrea, No.2
Sorry, I meant Andrea in my previous, rather than Gloria. I have no idea where that came from.
And three years after the event, I discover that the white glove was off my left arm! Drat! I am no longer the perfect girl! LOL
