Glam or Girl Next Door?

[tgirlzoe]

I had a conversation regarding Amanda Lepore a couple days ago. She has quite the overdone look and I am curious about the psychology behind that.

I'm not sure who to put for the "girl next door" and maybe that's the point. No crazy lip implants or F-cup implants and silicone injections. No drag/ball outfits, reasonable makeup, etc.

Maybe I just don't understand New York City but are you attracted to the glam, partying, plastic surgeries, escorting/porn, conspicuous consumption, and fast-paced life of "the scene" or would you rather have a normal girl with a dick (which could be your "little secret")?

This question is open to guys and girls alike.

This world is made up of so many colors ,shapes, and beauty. The term overdone to me is a lil extreme, it may be overdone to everyone else, but to the persons who is doing it, its a self image that they them selves had in mind and to create that is magnificent . Would you critic a artist for over or misusing their paint or their expression?? To many of us, if not all of us our bodies are our canvases , we create take away, or may add more so that at the end we see the masterpiece we have always in visioned .

yeah you rite but some times some artists used a little too much yellow ochre......the color of art history.

Amanda Lepore has her own thing going on and that's cool, I guess. I'm not criticising her.

I guess that's the question - is your life a performance piece or are you just trying to be "normal"?

Before I transitioned, in high school, I was very out (trans to some friends, gay to everyone else) and flamboyant. My whole life I've tried on and off to be bouncy and happy to counter my deep depression. Getting away from my parents and getting out of high school, I lost the angst that I was fighting invisibility and oppression. I transitioned and became, well, boring. I'm definitely not as visible as before but I like it better.

I want nothing more than a good husband, a decent living and kids. What use do I have for Chanel, Gucci or Christian Dior? What attracts people to the glamour ~ the women and the men who love them?

Well Amanda does not have a penis.

She's had SRS since she was 18.

You only live once and life is short. So wether you want to blend in or stand out, you should always do what makes you happy.

I love glamour and galmorous women. But that is just my prefference.

there's a lot of porn and escort girls who do the girl next door look and they are the most popular. i like the girl next door look for what could be more special than pulling down a pair of jeans on a pretty girl and discovering her big cream filled eclair!

For me confidence is highly attractive, and a woman who is just as confident in jeans, blouse, and a ponytail with little or no make-up on is quite a turn-on, but -- BUT -- a woman who can transform from that into a very glamorous sexy vixen at the drop of a hat is even MORE attractive. She has two sides to her iow. A girl-next-door looking woman is far more appealing and attractive when one knows there is a "wild" or other side to her which her glamorous side can reveal. Even if she goes glamorous two to three percent of the time, it's how she works that three percent that makes all the difference in the world.

Three-quarters of this poll favors TGND at *this* point. I wonder how that would play out if it were a GG in place of a TG, or if would make any difference at all? Do men in general want to play second fiddle to an eye magnet in other words? Just a thought.

[Hara_Juku Tgirl]

Well, men like to have both. The girl next door to hang out with and the glammed up whore when inside the bedroom. Go figure! LOL But I guess there is a happy medium between the two, no?

There's glammed, and there's GLAMMED, and most guys are more comfortable with the former I believe. They like their girls to look hot, and fantasize about seeing their woman in the skimpiest and sexiest of attire, but not so hot that every man is checking her out and thus making him feel uneasy.

[muhmuh]

if she doesnt look just as attractive without makeup on whats the point?

im all for the average girl with little to no make up on most days and a considerable but unnoticeable amount on formal occasions... if you can see shes got a mask on from miles away with 9 dpt of short sightedness its a deal breaker

[Isa_Decadent]

The answer is theres diffrent opinions regarding everything.
Like Allanah said, you should always do what makes you happy.
I never dress down and i dont even own a pair of jeans, and never wear less make-up. But thats they way i like it and i wouldent want to change and i wouldent change for anyone.
My boyfriend loves the way i look and he´s just as extreme in his own way, being a Skin with alot of tattoos :)

Normal. Too many T-Girls are one step away from Michael Jackson, through too many "feminisation" surgeries. LESS is more.

[razoredge1975]

Too many GG that look like the "girl next door" I prefer a glamorous girl! The TS girls are glamorous!

[MrsKellyPierce]

I think you should always wear make up and have you hair done. That may be because I'm a southern gal, and was taught that from my momma who was a pageant girl, a Miss Florida to be precise. Genetic Girl Mother not drag mother FYI lol And in our family going out in public with your hair in a pony tail wearing a sweatshirt isn't acceptable.


My momma always said, "We are women, leave that rolled out of bed look to the men."

[eggbert]

Can I have both? IMO there's a time & place for both, and I like them both. And in the same woman. There's not much sexier than the girl next door who glams it up.

There's glammed, and there's GLAMMED, and most guys are more comfortable with the former I believe. They like their girls to look hot, and fantasize about seeing their woman in the skimpiest and sexiest of attire, but not so hot that every man is checking her out and thus making him feel uneasy.

Naw, I don't mind of fellows are checking out whatever chick I would have, I'd have a feeling of pride with that....being the envied rather than the envier for a change.

I don't have Tommy Lee syndrome. :wink:

[trapmasta]

glammed is the ones i wanna jam with

[trish]

I adore Amanda Lapore!
She is an artist, and she is a masterpiece.
