The Tranny Tribune December 2001
Hello girls and welcome to issue number two of our new girly periodical, The Tranny Tribune. It's all about TrannyWeb and special girls like us. In this issue, we're introducing a new feature, which I hope to include in every issue from now on - a spotlight on a different city each time and in this issue, I'm very happy that our first featured city is New York. Cathy Mills provides the second in her trilogy on how to go girly without being found out by the wife or SO. Of course this is deceitful but for some trannies, it's the only option. This issue looks at secretive tranny shopping! And new contributor, Rikki Radoula, tells you how to create the cleavage you've always wanted, but without Hormones. Let's be sensible here and say at the outset that what works for one person does not always work the same way for another. If you are in any doubt about what you are doing, you should consult your doctor. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! There's also an interesting discussion going on, on the TrannyWeb general board at the following address: http://www.trannyweb.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=general&action=display&num=1004481739&start=12 A new girly messaging system completes the picture - this month's Tranny Tribune! Hugs, Katie Table of contents
1. CREATE THE CLEAVAGE YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED by Rikki Radoula Do you put on that sexy low cut dress or top and look down in despair at… Nothing? No matter how tight you tape yourself, there just isn't enough loose flesh and fat to create a convincing cleavage. Well,
there might be a solution sitting on the shelves of your local health
food store. Yes, nature has a few tricks that you can use to undertake
some non-permanent body reshaping. I can assure you that after using
these products for nearly a year, you are not going to get female breasts.
What you will get is fat redistribution mainly to the hips and breast
areas and if you stop, everything will return to normal. The chemical structure in herbal estrogens mimics the weakest of the estrogens in a female body, Estriol, and as a result of researching on the web, I decided on a pretty aggressive programme of Black Cohosh, Wild Yam (Capsules and Cream), Agnus Castus (Vitex), Saw Palmetto, Vitamin E, Zinc and Vitamin B complex. One product recommended to me, Pregnenolone, I could not get in the UK. Even though GNC sell it in the US, like Melatonin, it is a restricted product in the UK. I get all my products from Holland and Barrett and I usually use their Good'n Natural own brand, despite some criticism by the natural health purists. In the US you can get everything from GNC, and they now have branches in the UK, though most good health shop should carry these products. I can't confirm the effect of individual products as I've always taken the package. Over the same time I have lost about 30 pounds (thank you Weight Watchers) - but have gained weight on my hips and breasts to the extent that dancing now feels different and women's trousers now fit much better. I now fill an A cup and sitting around the pool as a male can be embarrassing. However in a low cut dress or top I get comments like "Bloody Hell, you've got bigger tits than me," from girls and "You can't be a man… not with tits like that," from men. The most common comment is "are they real?" This is the programme I take - If you want to check out some of the other products that help feminize or get more info on these, check out http://lisbeth.freeservers.com/herbal.html - which is the most comprehensive report I have found on the web. Black
Cohosh - This is a must and has by far the highest levels of Phytoestrogens.
I use the extract (a 30 ml bottle) and take 3 ml a day. Wild
Yam Capsules - This structure is more closely related to the female
hormone, progesterone. I take 2x400 mg capsules a day Agnus
Castus - Feminises the body and helps suppress testosterone - I
take 2x400 mg capsules. Zinc and Vitamin B 6 - Sperm contains a lot of zinc, so all men who masturbate frequently should supplement. (Yes - there is some truth in the saying that too much makes you go blind - Zinc is important in maintaining eyesight) However, in combination with Vitamin B 6, it also helps to stop the formation of Dyhydrotestosterone. I take 25 mg of zinc and 1 B Complex. One side effect of this regime is that I find my nails chip and break more easily. So apart from using nail strengtheners and hardeners when I am not wearing polish, I also take a calcium, magnesium and zinc supplement designed to help hair and nails. And yes I do rattle in the morning. Well that's the programme I take. I have progressed to prescription hormones now, but I'm still taking the natural products, at least until I see what the others do. Love to hear from anyone else about your experiences - feel free to email me at - RikkiRadoula@hotmail.com.
Since our move to our soooper new shiny server, we have started using a thing called 'server side includes' (whatever that is???). As a result, we have had to change the extensions on nearly all our web pages from .html to .shtml. Please don't ask me why 'cos I don't really know. Anyway, what this means for you is that if you have book-marked any of the Trannyweb pages, you'll need to visit them and bookmark them again. If you don't, it's not really a big deal for the moment. The old .html pages are now a lovely pink color and they will redirect you to the new ones. Please do update your bookmarks if you can however, 'cos the old pages won't be there forever.

The all new Tranny Tribune is aimed at girls like us around the world, and we are now looking for contributions and stories from you. This is your chance to become an international journalist. There's no money in it but it's a chance to get your story read by trannies right around the globe. We already have a subscriber list as long as your arm! If you'd like to submit something for us, please send it to trib@trannyweb.tv and we could make you a star!
Shopping spree! Those two little words can make a girl tingle. Buying and trying beautiful clothes, gorgeous lingerie, perfumed makeup and all those things that set our hearts aflutter is, after all, part of what we're all about! For some of us, though, the tingle includes a little twinge of worry. How can I buy things without being discovered? This column will provide tips and hints that may help. CASH AND CARRY! If you have a Significant Other who has access to your financial records, payment for your purchases by credit card, personal check or debit card may not be a viable alternative. The monthly account statements may reveal more than you wish! In such circumstances, "cash and carry" may be the best policy. You should shop, however, at a place unlikely to be visited by your S.O. For example, you might want to pick a TG-friendly business or a shop that is distant from your home to make your purchases -- with cash. CATALOG PURCHASES. Buying from a catalog is an option, but there are two important considerations. First, once again, you may not want to make your purchase by credit card or personal check if your S.O. Has access to the monthly account statements. This can easily be remedied since most catalog services accept postal money orders which can be purchased from any local postal authority. Second, the delivery of your catalog purchase can be problematic. You can never be sure exactly when it will arrive. At worst, your S.O. may open the package in your absence. At best, your S.O. will be curious if a mysterious package from Victoria's Secret or Frederick's of Hollywood is delivered addressed to you. Perhaps the safest option -- for those who have it available to them --is to rent a postal box at a nearby service (one example in the U.S. Is Mailboxes, Etc.). Remember, though, rent the box using cash or a postal money order! There
have been some horror stories arising from catalog purchases. On September
17 of this year, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court
for the Central District of California, Case No. CV01-7945 FMC. The
complaint alleges that a man located in California, purchased goods
from a well-known catalog retailer that specializes in women's intimate
apparel. The man received his purchase in a package with a mailing label
ONLINE PURCHASES. Shopping online can be a wonderful experience. Then again, it nearly always requires that you use a credit card. This simply is not an option for many of us whose S.O.'s have access to our monthly account statements. Additionally, receiving delivery of your purchases from postal authorities, as noted above, can be problematic. For those of us who must work hard to keep our secret, then, online shopping is limited to browsing for ideas -- not buying. There are exceptions, of course. You can find wonderful clothing, basques, shoes, wigs and the like in online auctions such as those offered by eBay. Sellers in such auctions often accept postal money orders as payment, but you still will have to deal with receiving delivery of your package from postal authorities. BUSINESS TRIPS. Business trips offer the best opportunity for a girlish shopping spree -- and, since you likely will be staying alone in a hotel room, such trips also offer a wonderful chance to model and enjoy your purchases for hours! Before you leave on a such a trip, you should check out the local shopping scene online and, of course, make sure you assemble the cash you will need. Since time likely will be short, advance planning helps. PERSONAL SHOPPERS. In many cities there are TG-friendly "transformation specialists" whom you can hire either to accompany you on a shopping spree or to do your shopping for you. Of course, such services require payment of a fee and you must pay in advance for the purchases you authorize. Once again, for those who wish to keep their secret, cash is king. You also should give your personal shopper very explicit instructions regarding exactly what you want. CONCLUSION. As always, common sense must prevail when trying to keep your secret. When the urge to shop strikes, shopping in out of the way places using the "cash and carry" technique is probably the safest. If you have other tips and hints about buying without revealing your secret, please send me a note at katherinemills@altavista.com. I promise to share them!
In case you hadn't noticed, TrannyWeb now has a new super-hooper server with heaps of space and that gives us the freedom to do all kinds of new and clever things. For example, we have just installed our new Super-Mega Instant Messaging system. Please do check it out on the site. And you can also use it to check your own personal e-mail account. There will be many more improvements and enhancements on the site over the next few months. We're already looking at installing a photo gallery so you can show us your girly pix and possibly a new improved chatroom. Watch this space.
Well that's it for issue number two. I'll try not to make it so long till the next one. Thanks for your support. I'll always wear it! Hugs, Katie |
