A CHAT WITH TRANSFORMATION 96 COVER GIRL @SHEMALEFISH (PART TWO):

Fish, Thailand
TWITTER: @ShemaleFish

907941

What do you like to do in your free time? Shopping of course, I love to go out with my friends and buy nice clothes. Hanging out in shopping malls, dining and going to cinemas. I also love listening to music, being home alone dancing to music by Beyoncé for hours. I love to laugh with friends.

Are there any memorable characters who had impact on your life? Beyoncé – of course. The first time I saw the video of “CRAZY IN LOVE” her beautiful skin, dance moves, and sexy voice inspired me. I wanted to be like her. She is a hard working woman that is following her dream, so I do.

Health is very important to you. What are some of your top tips? Fruits and vegetables are delicious and very healthful. I love almost all kinds. My ex-boyfriend introduced me to natural herbs – these make you strong and healthy. I suggest the combination of these three to all of you. It cleans the body and makes you beautiful – like me (lol).

Unfortunately, I can’t cook at all (smile).

What are you the most proud of so far in your life ? What are you working towards now? I am proud to be the person I am right now – Fish – It was hard to be the person I am right now.

I am happy that many people around the world know me as a nice person. I am very proud that I have mastered all negative obstacles in my life. I am dreaming of being an international transgender model for fashion and lingerie or maybe an international porn star (smile) haha.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? I am more than happy and delighted that my family, especially my mother, the person I love most in the world, is still loving me same or even more than before as a transsexual in my family. I am proud that my family supports me and that my mom is proud of me in what I am doing and what I am.

Congratulations - it sounds very good !
Shame it is not available here in the UK.

Good Luck !

[Lester316]

Hi - silly question maybe if I missed info elsewhere..

But is this available digitally in any way? I for one (being in the UK) would like the chance to buy the current issue and previous ones to read on a tablet.

[Ben in LA]

Otola Photography looks forward to contributing to the magazine soon as well. :)

[Transformation Magazine]

Thanks, darkrose2000. It was a lot of fun to do and I really enjoyed working on it! Much love goes out to all the girls who did these interviews in their non native languages. They are the rockstars here, and we can't thank them enough for participating. It is indeed available in Europe and the UK, however with a recent distribution changeover we are not sure as to the new distribution locations. I will try and get some more information on that ASAP. We have been uploading them digitally on>>> skinmagz (http://www.skinmagz.com/Transformation2015Issue94.html?acc=c16a5320fa47553 0d9583c34fd356ef5&titleid=1598). Issues 94 + 95 are there and we are trying to get 96 approved just as soon as possible. We also have no problem shipping it to you directly from centurianonline.com ;) cheers xoxoxo

[Transformation Magazine]

Hi Lester316, not a silly question! We have been uploading them digitally on>>> skinmagz (http://www.skinmagz.com/Transformation2015Issue94.html?acc=c16a5320fa47553 0d9583c34fd356ef5&titleid=1598). Issues 94 + 95 are there and we are trying to get 96 approved just as soon as possible. We also have back issue PDF downloads available at centurianonline, but we generally wait one year before releasing them in that format. The difference between skinmagz and our PDF's is that on the skinmagz platform you can only view our magazines, you can't download them and (potentially) share them. Maybe we are silly, but this is to protect the content from being distributed by a 3rd party. Hope this answers your question. As I mentioned above, we love our print still and have no problem shipping it anywhere in the world :) cheers xoxoxo

I think you do a great job with this, thanks.

[Transformation Magazine]

Thanks for the kind words nysprod!

The people you see in this issue illustrate trans life in their corner of the world, and help show us the true meaning of beauty, international or otherwise. Our two part interviews cover both the cultural heritage and personal beliefs of these brave individuals, and inspire greater understanding of transgender experiences around the world. This next interview is from Finland and we discovered her through the Grooby network. Soooo hot!

What do you like to do in your free time?
 What comes to hobbies gym and running are on top. Doing workout is a way of life for me. I also go shooting range, and shoot also with a bow. Would like to start Krav Maga again after a break. Modeling is also one thing I enjoy a lot, but it's quite occasional thing as it's really hard to find photographers in Finland due my background.

Do you have any fantasies? 
I believe everyone has ;D But it's another story (;

Transition is physical, emotional, and social, all of which present different types of challenges. Tell us about your experience of them if you could.
 Biggest challenge was physical, and maybe still is a bit. I've undergone a lot of surgeries and learning to speak with a new tone was also a huge challenge. Surgeries require money and acquiring that money has caused a lot of stress. Recovering from them hasn't feel like an issue. I haven't faced any discrimination, but have found myself kind of like an outcast, lonely. People have a lot of prejudices which has brought a lot disappointments. It has become really hard to find good and genuine people into my life. Luckily my family hasn't let me down.

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? What are you working towards now?
 That I accepted the challenge to transition. There's still some work to be done, but my main goal is now to establish a serious relationship. I value partnership and relationships with people over material.

909384

Describe the 2-3 events that most shaped your life.
 I was bullied throughout my youth which taught me to survive and mental toughness. Admitting for myself that I'm a transgender and going for transition allowed to be myself. It took a lot of weight off my shoulders.

What is the best advice you've ever received? Best gift? 
I don't know is this actually advice, but I was encouraged to do transition. When looking afterwards, if I would not have done it I wouldn't feel whole. Maybe it can be put in words "dare to be who you really are.”

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? 
If someone gets me to lose my temper it's really an achievement :D Usually it requires a lot of work and continuous bugging over something. Maybe the easiest way is to assume I would be just some sex object who exists to fulfill fantasies. Like I wouldn't be a human being with emotions. Besides that I don't tolerate abusing, mental or physical violence.

Fitness is very important to you. What are some of your top tips? It's all mental (; I do fitness 5-7 times a week. I have days when I would like to skip workout, but it's mostly pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Having a clear goal is a necessity. Like in everything I do, I set a goal and then it gets much easier to achieve something.

Transformation 96 (Part 2): A chat with @MimiGlamourTS of the Philippines/UK

Mimi Glamour, Philippines/UK
WEBSITE: www.MimiGlamourTs.com
TWITTER: @MimiGlamourTS (twitter.com/MimiGlamourTS)

Part one of this interview can be found in Transformation 96: The International Issue (http://centurianonline.com/transformation-96/)

What do you like to do in your free time? I like to fill my spare time with my two doggies, Waffles & Aero, we enjoy long walks & exploring. When my two trouble makers are not with me, I make sure I’m at gym keeping control of my figure, as I love junk food far too much. I enjoy art, whether it be drawing or painting. I also like to keep up with current affairs, politics & bit of “trashy celeb gossip”. Most of all I like to keep informed of Trans issues, activists & charity events.

Do you have any fantasies? Of course, they largely involve being ravished & served by Ryan Reynolds & a team of Rugby players on a four post bed.

Transition is physical, emotional, and social, all of which present different types of challenges. Tell us about your experience of them if you could. Being Asian & TG I’m lucky to have a natural advantage. We are already slim figures so fitting girl’s clothes & shoes has never been an issue, like it is for most. Obviously when I look in the mirror there are physical things I see that I want to change & I don’t think look femme enough or remind me of the old me but over time I’ve learnt to accept my physical look & my shell. That being said, if a million pounds($) landed in my lap tomorrow, I’d be booking the nearest cosmetic surgeon.

My emotional outlook is up & down like any TG person. As much as I try to be strong & face a new day with energy, some days can just beat you down. Hormone treatment, diet, exercise & having an understanding of my body have all helped me ride the emotional roller coaster & have given me some control over it.

Social transition has always been simple for me. If there is negativity of any kind in the room, I either laugh it off or leave. I’ve always been a good judge of character so have a strong set of close friends, who I love dearly. They provide a strong network of support for me, as I do them.

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? What are you working towards now? My independence, I’m not reliant upon anyone; I know I can deal with anything life throws at me. That feeling fills me with great confidence. Presently I’m working towards growing my modeling career & my brand awareness. Around the world it’s possible for “genetic girls” to be glamour models, be a bit naughty, appear in major publications & still be respected by the general public. I want to be one of the first mainstream TS glamour models & if I can’t, I will have a good go at trying. At least I’ll have helped pave the way for the next generation of girls. I see my modeling career molded around having an active presence on the transgender rights/charity scene; I’d love to be mentioned as a positive role model one day.

Describe the 2-3 events that most shaped your life. Two events happened in very quick succession. My mother’s passing which was in tragic circumstances, the completion of my degree & being the first in my family to achieve such an accolade, both occurred within weeks of each other. That time in my life is such a blur of emotions & feelings but it has shaped my outlook & my thirst to seize opportunities. Moving to the UK rivals those first two events, as it was a massive upheaval & complete change for me in culture, outlook & reality. I survived them all & what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger!

What are some hot topics in your area? Equality is a hot topic everywhere, one day it can be achieved & gender identity can stop being such hurdle for society as a whole. I love to throw my support behind organizations in the UK, like Sparkle, Stone Wall & All About Trans. They do such good work by providing a great support network for transgender individuals. As I write this, in the UK, the BBC is showing a romantic “sit-com” called Boy Meets Girl. It’s based around a young 20 something man falling for a post op TS. It’s been receiving rave reviews & heartily welcomed by the public. It’s so exciting to see public perspective change.

909953

What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Best gift? Simple ……….“Everything In Moderation”. My first Doggie, Waffles was the best present ever. From being a small child I’d always wanted a dog, she is showered with cuddles & kisses all the time.

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? Ignorance & not being courteous to others, a lack of these basic human skills drive me insane. Especially in this modern climate, where it’s fashionable to be a “bitch” or “bad boy”, there is just no need, it’s far easier for us all just to get along.

We would never catch you wearing …..? CROCS!!! They are the devil’s shoes. Aside from it being awful, ugly & cumbersome, you can’t match them with anything. Imagine wearing leather, PVC or even the basic summer dress and then crocs!!……….. N to the O……..NO!!

Who do you most admire? It’s difficult to cite one person, as I have always found myself taking bits & ideas from everyone. The modeling side I would say, Mariah Carey, Gia Darling, Allannah Starr, Vanity & lots of main stream UK glamour models. Style wise, I’d say my mum & the 80’s in general. I love the glamour from that era, the likes of Joan Collins in Dynasty, power suits, big hair & high heels. My attitude & outlook has been shaped by my own personal experience & beliefs but still is growing due to many wonderful people. People like Laverne Cox, Kellie Maloney, Paris Lees & anyone who is a Transgender activist, excites me.

Are there any memorable characters who had an impact on your life? Mum & Dad were always hard workers & instilled in us a strong work ethic & desire to improve one’s self. My strength of character & energy has grown since moving to England & engaging with strong willed English characters, who certainly don’t stand for any “B.S.”.

What are some of your top tips for fitness, beauty and cooking? Fitness, start slowly and build up by setting small achievable goals & before you know it your running faster & jumping higher. Beauty, try lots of different looks, be sympathetic to your body, skin tone & find someone you admire & copy their style until you think you’ve cracked it. Cooking, only ever put a little in at a time because if you put too much in, in one go, you can never take it back out again.

Can you tell me about your family? Parents, siblings, extended? How did they influence who you are? My biggest role model was my mother, though she struggled with who I am, I know she wasn’t ashamed of me. She always had great style & was the envy of the other neighborhood women. If she wasn’t amending a shop bought dress, she was making her own, or making weird & wonderful accessories. Our house was like a scene from “Paris Is Burning” when she had a function to go to.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? Like any human being, I crave it just as much as the next person. I would love to live in a world where people do not judge you on your gender but because of your capability & what you offer society. I admire the Samoan culture, they have a natural acceptance for Transgender people, they are called “Fa’afafine”, the third sex. I’d love to see this affinity an understanding spread across the world, instead of the fear & hate that there is now, education & awareness are essential to this!

What do you like to do in your free time? I like to dance, go shopping and work out.

Do you have any fantasies? Not really! Hummmmm lolol Maybe Justin Bieber when he is 30 years old? Omg naughty thoughts lol….

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? False, dishonest people and drama queens. Ufffiii!!!

Who do you most admire? Roberta Close from Brazil, the most beautiful Trans Woman I have ever seen. Now she is getting older, but she still looks good.

What are some of your top tips for staying healthy? I love to be in shape of course and try to eat healthy. Exercising your body is good even for your mind. My tip is to, “Never give up, and follow your dreams.”

910567

Can you tell me about your family? Parents, siblings, extended? How did they influence who you are? Well my transition at the beginning was very hard. I started, stopped and re-started again. I was fighting thoughts that I was doing the wrong thing, but it was myself, my REAL SELF, in the wrong body. My parents didn’t accept it in the beginning. It was hard. It was difficult. Many times I decided to give up, but every time something at the end of the tunnel said to me, “You cant give up.” I was fighting with all my power to live life honestly and finally they could see I wouldn’t give up and then accepted me and tried to understand me. Today it’s my family who always give me the best advice and they always tell me to follow my dreams and be honest with myself.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? Acceptance for me means that when anything happens to you, you need accept yourself and understand yourself, your soul, your own truth. Being transgender is not easy, there are many ups and downs, but if you accept yourself and don’t worry about what people think about you, you are ready to accept the world!

Part one of this interview can be found in Transformation 96: The International Issue (http://centurianonline.com/transformation-96/)

What do you like to do in your free time? The question is what do I not like to do haha! In my spare time I either find something to get my hands on including; painting, sculpting horror icons, playing all types of music and instruments, web-designing and doing anything on the trusty computer.

Do you have any fantasies? Of course I have many, who doesn’t? Mine are too explicative I’m sure for this publishing, but if I can say anything, I would have to say gang-bangs while people watch. I would think that’s hot stuff!

Transition is physical, emotional, and social, all of which present different types of challenges. Tell us about your experience of them if you could. I knew since I was a wee lad in the early days of wearing boy clothes it didn’t feel right on my skin, but my mother told me when I’ve decided to make my transition that she knew she’d be having the daughter she always wanted. Don’t worry it’s not a bad thing because I have a brother haha.

My father passed in 2007. It made me snap and I couldn’t lie to myself anymore, so I changed my attitude more than my appearance. I became blunter, smarter and didn’t care about the judgements of others. I live my life as I should, just as much as anyone needs to do.

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? What are you working towards now? I’m building an empire filled with spooky decor and a “Halloween everyday” feel. I’ve never won anything in my life and it would be a big bucket of tears to win something.

Describe the 2-3 events that most shaped your life. Tattoos are my lust and temple. I got my first tattoo when I was 18 and ever since I haven’t been able to stop. As a teen rocker, I was raised listening to heavy metal music which became a lifestyle. I used permanent markers upon myself (knowing how to draw/sketch) all over my arm, then my friends body parts, being creative. My father didn’t like me being all marked up so he told me, “If I see any marker on that skin i’m going to slap it.” So there was times I got caught…Out of no where he finds them and SLAP! haha

My family is my everything. Just like most people love their families I do as well.

At age 13 I knew the difference between right and wrong, possibilities of jobs/career and responsibilities of life which still helps me till this day. Learning respect and loyalty, and using my brain made my life easier. I got my seriousness and smarts from my father David (Rest in Peace), and my sick impure sarcastic jokes, big heart and artistic talent came from my mother Inga, who is going strong till this day.

What are some hot topics in your area? Right now its the debate of Presidency and the political system, as i’m a very political person but like to keep it to myself for personal reasons. Recreational/Medicinal use of marijuana is currently a really big topic in Texas for legalization in the year 2016. Personally, I think it has great advantages for health and other resources.

911202

What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Best gift? Live life to the fullest. Be You and Never forget where you came from.

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? Closed minded humans who lecture on things they don’t understand or fear. If you don’t understand anything about a certain subject or person then do your homework and learn. It doesn’t mean you have to accept it but just to be mindful.

Don’t ever tell me to calm down…I’ll fight you.

You would never catch me wearing _____Croc shoes or sandals while wearing socks. Its just not cute, so stop it.

Who do you most admire? Horror Actors/Actresses, Tattoo Artists, Great Musicians, people who are goal orientated.

Are there any memorable characters who had an impact on your life? I would like to gather the knowledge from which my parents taught me and become my own inspiration to share with others who struggle and need help for advice.

Fitness/beauty/cooking/etc. is very important to you. What are some of your top tips? I am recently and occasionally working out for better stamina, because smoking doesn’t help but calms my nerves ..heh

My beauty is a personal style of 1940s to 1950s pin up Bettie Page look clashed with Morticia Addams from The Addams Family with aspiring make up and tattoo artist Kat Von D, which of course, that’s where I get the “Von” in my stage name.

Getting comfortable with food is what makes me cook in the kitchen or grill. I’ve been called a saucier for making anything taste great and texture to your pallet. I started to really get into cooking young but now watching the food network gets me pumped and motivated to use fresh produce and turning meals into tasteful art.

Music is life, we need it for our own ears to listen and show emotion through how we feel.

As a musician (vocalist preferred), I show my true colors to my fans and other people who do and don’t understand me when I do sing, scream or use guttural growls.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? Makes me feel great, especially from people who brought me into the industry, Grooby.

Talking, making new friends in this industry helped me talk to other girls that I was intimidated by because we throw shade which is fine, but I feel comfortable and I am no threat unless I have been harmed, MMA (mixed martial arts) taught me a bit so no worries, other than that, I appreciate Steven Grooby for finding something special in me to bring to this family.

What do you like to do in your free time? In my free time I love to travel, see different places and enjoy my life. I go out a lot with my friends and dance the whole night. But also when I need a break I come back to my parents home and enjoy the silence of the small city I’m from.

Transition is physical, emotional, and social, all of which present different types of challenges. Tell us about your experience of them if you could. It was very hard for me growing up because most of the people around me didn’t understand or support my change, but that has changed in the last few years so I’m really happy now with everything.

911996

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? What are you working towards now? I’ve been working in the adult industry since I was 18 years old. I Love my job and never wanted to do something else … I do a lot of movies, photo shoots and stuff you can find on my website www.ts-Kimberlee.com. I’m very proud so far of all the work I have done and where I am now.

Can you tell me about your family? Parents, siblings, extended? How did they influence who you are? My parents support me with everything I do. I’m very thankful for that because I couldn’t imagine what I would do without them. That they accept me and love me like I am is very important because your family will be always a part of you. You can choose or change your friends or the people around you, but not your family.

You would never catch me wearing _____ Flip-flops on the street because I feel I’m going to lose one of them.

Who do you most admire? There are many people I admire but Steve Jobs is one. I agree with his idea of doing things well and not get carried away by the ideas of others.

Are there any memorable characters who had an impact on your life? Of course. My mother, my aunt Esther, my uncle Andrés and my grandmother Lola.

Fitness/beauty/cooking/etc. is very important to you. What are some of your top tips? Do plenty of exercise and eat all you want, but in moderation. If I eat, I do more exercise.

Can you tell me about your family? Parents, siblings, extended? How did they influence who you are? My family taught me to be what I want to be, as well as respect for differences. So I decided to live as transgender.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? It means freedom.

A CHAT WITH TRANSFORMATION 96 COVER GIRL @SHEMALEFISH (PART TWO):

Fish, Thailand

What do you like to do in your free time? Shopping of course, I love to go out with my friends and buy nice clothes. Hanging out in shopping malls, dining and going to cinemas. I also love listening to music, being home alone dancing to music by Beyoncé for hours. I love to laugh with friends.

Are there any memorable characters who had impact on your life? Beyoncé – of course. The first time I saw the video of “CRAZY IN LOVE” her beautiful skin, dance moves, and sexy voice inspired me. I wanted to be like her. She is a hard working woman that is following her dream, so I do.

Health is very important to you. What are some of your top tips? Fruits and vegetables are delicious and very healthful. I love almost all kinds. My ex-boyfriend introduced me to natural herbs – these make you strong and healthy. I suggest the combination of these three to all of you. It cleans the body and makes you beautiful – like me (lol).

Unfortunately, I can’t cook at all (smile).

What are you the most proud of so far in your life ? What are you working towards now? I am proud to be the person I am right now – Fish – It was hard to be the person I am right now.

I am happy that many people around the world know me as a nice person. I am very proud that I have mastered all negative obstacles in my life. I am dreaming of being an international transgender model for fashion and lingerie or maybe an international porn star (smile) haha.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? I am more than happy and delighted that my family, especially my mother, the person I love most in the world, is still loving me same or even more than before as a transsexual in my family. I am proud that my family supports me and that my mom is proud of me in what I am doing and what I am.

Part one of this interview can be found in Transformation 96: The International Issue (http://centurianonline.com/transformation-96/)

What do you like to do in your free time? I love modeling for still photography and video. I like going to Hamburger Mary’s on “Tgirl Nights” to hang and dance with my friends. I like to surf the web. I like computer games. I love going to the beach and working on my tan. I love going to concerts and going to the movies. I love going out to dinner with some pleasant company. I like long, slow, passionate nights. I like well endowed men. I love Trans girls and females. I love being bi. I love being me.

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? What are you working towards now? I have known I was a girl ever since I was 4 or 5 years old. I didn’t know what to do with myself. I was being led around in one direction while my heart and spirit was going someplace else. Even though it presented a whole new set of challenges, the best decision I ever made was to allow myself to be myself. I have never looked back. I have been living as a woman full-time for 11 years as of July 2015. It wasn’t a gradual thing. It happened, literally, overnight. There came a day when I realized I could no longer go on the way I had been. I could no longer play the game. I could no longer wear the mask. I could no longer keep trying to pretend to be someone I never was. I had to allow myself to be myself or I was going to die. I made the right decision.

Now, I’m working towards an expanding modeling career in the Trans adult industry. I’ve done a bit of work in porn before, but only on a small scale. I’m looking forward to expanding my horizons and all of yours as well.

Describe the 2-3 events that most shaped your life. The Beatles had perhaps the most major influence on my life since early childhood. They and their producer, George Martin, taught me everything I know about recorded music. They are the reason why I have always been in the entertainment field in one form or another.

914104

What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Best gift? The best advice I have ever received came when I was about 5 years old. My brother and I had some kind of something going on, I don’t quite remember all the details. Apparently, I had done something to my brother. When my Mom confronted me, she asked “How would you feel if someone did that to you?” I quickly realized that, no, I really wouldn’t like it at all. That has stuck with me all my life.

The best gift I ever received was a genuine Beatles Tour jacket from 1965 in pristine condition for Christmas. I wore that thing everywhere for years. I knew a few very envious people. Lol

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? Stealing from me and lying to me are the worst things you can do. I have no tolerance for such behavior. If you are going to steal or lie to me once, you will do it again. It only takes once and my trust is gone. Goodbye.

You would never catch me wearing _____ Boxer shorts.

Who do you most admire? I believe one of the people I most admire is Jackie Chan. He does what he does with no special effects, wires or CGI. He has sustained so many injuries and broken bones and he still keeps going. I had been in a nasty accident several years back where a car hit me on my motorcycle. I was twisted and mangled pretty badly. First, I was dead for 10 minutes. Then I was in a coma for two and a half weeks. After that, they were telling me I may never walk again. I told my physician that was unacceptable. It took almost 4 years, but I finally got out of that wheelchair. Jackie Chan inspired me to keep going, despite the injuries and to overcome things that would keep most people down.

[B]What do you like to do in your free time? I like to listen to music and watch live concerts, rock mostly but these days also music like Taylor Swift, I like to go out and party with my tranny girlfriends.

Do you have any fantasies? Oh yes, public sex is my fantasy, very difficult to realize but not impossible.

Describe the 2-3 events that most shaped your life. When I was robbed, I guess God works in mysterious ways. Also when I visited Thailand, the people there, I did my prayers to Buddha.

What are some hot topics in your area? The beach and the snow I guess, both near the city in opposite directions.

What is the best advice you've ever received? Best gift? Best advice, when something really bad happened, "what just happened, is already a part of the past, we need to worry about the future”.

Best gift, a ticket to see perform Motley Crue in London.

915508

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? Late/delayed people.

You would never catch me wearing _____ A hipster hat.

Fitness/beauty/cooking/etc. is very important to you. What are some of your top tips? Fitness yes, beauty yes, cooking no I don't cook I am sorry. My top tips are to eat a lot of fish is the most healthy meat with a lot of proteins, and to jog often. I prefer being outdoors and not inside a locked gym.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? It means I can wear heels. Non-acceptance means to wear sneakers and always be on guard in case someone wants to kick your ass.

Part one of this interview can be found in Transformation 96: The International Issue (http://centurianonline.com/transformation-96/)

What do you like to do in your free time? I enjoy going to the movies, going to different restaurants, trying different types of food and lastly hanging out with my trans friends and allies.

Transition is physical, emotional, and social, all of which present different types of challenges. Tell us about your experience of them if you could. I pretty much had the same experience as most of the trans girl in the beginning, which was “cross-dressing” in mom’s or sister’s clothing in closet/at home. At the time, I had no idea what, where and why was this action of mine came from and I didn’t even know the term, “Transgender” until about 4 years ago. A friend of mine who knew about me dressing, took me to Jamie Jameson’s “Tgirl Nights” in Long Beach, California. I was shocked that this type of event and place existed. I then started making friends with many people and exchanging stories and experiences. I continued to learn, understand and explored the Trans* community here in LA. During the first year and half, I was only able to go out on the weekends once a month in “girl mode”. I was anxious and couldn’t wait for that monthly Saturday to arrive. Even though I didn’t REALLY face any kind of BIG challenges like some other trans sisters and brothers, I did take my transitioning journey very cautiously, slow and patiently. I was not feeling fully comfortable with myself when I was out and about at first then I practiced on my makeup and went out more and more to gain self confidence on my appearance and inner self courage with respect. Finally, after my fourth year out in the “public”, I decided to take my step forward and start living to be my true self 24/7. I started HRT in 2015.

916053

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? What are you working towards now? I’m proud of myself for making the decision to be who I really am and choose to live the life of being me. I’m working on finishing up “LGBT Love Stories” and continue to empower transgender voices and raise awareness on transgender lives through acting, dialogue, and photography in both front of the camera and behind the scenes.

Can you tell me about your family? Parents, siblings, extended? How did they influence who you are? I lived with my grandparents growing up. They played a major role and influenced me the most on manners, morals and helping others when anyone is in need, even strangers.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? FEAR is the blocker of understanding. Learning and accepting are the first steps to withdrawal from the box. We are all human, we desire to live and be loved.

What do you like to do in your free time? I like to fill my spare time with my two doggies, Waffles & Aero, we enjoy long walks & exploring. When my two trouble makers are not with me, I make sure I’m at gym keeping control of my figure, as I love junk food far too much. I enjoy art, whether it be drawing or painting. I also like to keep up with current affairs, politics & bit of “trashy celeb gossip”. Most of all I like to keep informed of Trans issues, activists & charity events.

Do you have any fantasies? Of course, they largely involve being ravished & served by Ryan Reynolds & a team of Rugby players on a four post bed.

Transition is physical, emotional, and social, all of which present different types of challenges. Tell us about your experience of them if you could. Being Asian & TG I’m lucky to have a natural advantage. We are already slim figures so fitting girl’s clothes & shoes has never been an issue, like it is for most. Obviously when I look in the mirror there are physical things I see that I want to change & I don’t think look femme enough or remind me of the old me but over time I’ve learnt to accept my physical look & my shell. That being said, if a million pounds($) landed in my lap tomorrow, I’d be booking the nearest cosmetic surgeon.

My emotional outlook is up & down like any TG person. As much as I try to be strong & face a new day with energy, some days can just beat you down. Hormone treatment, diet, exercise & having an understanding of my body have all helped me ride the emotional roller coaster & have given me some control over it.

Social transition has always been simple for me. If there is negativity of any kind in the room, I either laugh it off or leave. I’ve always been a good judge of character so have a strong set of close friends, who I love dearly. They provide a strong network of support for me, as I do them.

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? What are you working towards now? My independence, I’m not reliant upon anyone; I know I can deal with anything life throws at me. That feeling fills me with great confidence. Presently I’m working towards growing my modeling career & my brand awareness. Around the world it’s possible for “genetic girls” to be glamour models, be a bit naughty, appear in major publications & still be respected by the general public. I want to be one of the first mainstream TS glamour models & if I can’t, I will have a good go at trying. At least I’ll have helped pave the way for the next generation of girls. I see my modeling career molded around having an active presence on the transgender rights/charity scene; I’d love to be mentioned as a positive role model one day.

Describe the 2-3 events that most shaped your life. Two events happened in very quick succession. My mother’s passing which was in tragic circumstances, the completion of my degree & being the first in my family to achieve such an accolade, both occurred within weeks of each other. That time in my life is such a blur of emotions & feelings but it has shaped my outlook & my thirst to seize opportunities. Moving to the UK rivals those first two events, as it was a massive upheaval & complete change for me in culture, outlook & reality. I survived them all & what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger!

What are some hot topics in your area? Equality is a hot topic everywhere, one day it can be achieved & gender identity can stop being such hurdle for society as a whole. I love to throw my support behind organizations in the UK, like Sparkle, Stone Wall & All About Trans. They do such good work by providing a great support network for transgender individuals. As I write this, in the UK, the BBC is showing a romantic “sit-com” called Boy Meets Girl. It’s based around a young 20 something man falling for a post op TS. It’s been receiving rave reviews & heartily welcomed by the public. It’s so exciting to see public perspective change.

909953

What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Best gift? Simple ……….“Everything In Moderation”. My first Doggie, Waffles was the best present ever. From being a small child I’d always wanted a dog, she is showered with cuddles & kisses all the time.

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? Ignorance & not being courteous to others, a lack of these basic human skills drive me insane. Especially in this modern climate, where it’s fashionable to be a “bitch” or “bad boy”, there is just no need, it’s far easier for us all just to get along.

We would never catch you wearing …..? CROCS!!! They are the devil’s shoes. Aside from it being awful, ugly & cumbersome, you can’t match them with anything. Imagine wearing leather, PVC or even the basic summer dress and then crocs!!……….. N to the O……..NO!!

Who do you most admire? It’s difficult to cite one person, as I have always found myself taking bits & ideas from everyone. The modeling side I would say, Mariah Carey, Gia Darling, Allannah Starr, Vanity & lots of main stream UK glamour models. Style wise, I’d say my mum & the 80’s in general. I love the glamour from that era, the likes of Joan Collins in Dynasty, power suits, big hair & high heels. My attitude & outlook has been shaped by my own personal experience & beliefs but still is growing due to many wonderful people. People like Laverne Cox, Kellie Maloney, Paris Lees & anyone who is a Transgender activist, excites me.

Are there any memorable characters who had an impact on your life? Mum & Dad were always hard workers & instilled in us a strong work ethic & desire to improve one’s self. My strength of character & energy has grown since moving to England & engaging with strong willed English characters, who certainly don’t stand for any “B.S.”.

What are some of your top tips for fitness, beauty and cooking? Fitness, start slowly and build up by setting small achievable goals & before you know it your running faster & jumping higher. Beauty, try lots of different looks, be sympathetic to your body, skin tone & find someone you admire & copy their style until you think you’ve cracked it. Cooking, only ever put a little in at a time because if you put too much in, in one go, you can never take it back out again.

Can you tell me about your family? Parents, siblings, extended? How did they influence who you are? My biggest role model was my mother, though she struggled with who I am, I know she wasn’t ashamed of me. She always had great style & was the envy of the other neighborhood women. If she wasn’t amending a shop bought dress, she was making her own, or making weird & wonderful accessories. Our house was like a scene from “Paris Is Burning” when she had a function to go to.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? Like any human being, I crave it just as much as the next person. I would love to live in a world where people do not judge you on your gender but because of your capability & what you offer society. I admire the Samoan culture, they have a natural acceptance for Transgender people, they are called “Fa’afafine”, the third sex. I’d love to see this affinity an understanding spread across the world, instead of the fear & hate that there is now, education & awareness are essential to this!

We can’t express how much we love Canada. ALL the hot Canadian girls make cold winters warm! Tasha Jones, Blair Ryder, Chloe Rose, Casey Lay, Tropicana, Jizelle…the list goes on and on. We could probably dedicate an entire issue to our neighbors to the north, but today we give you just a slice of all the awesomeness that awaits in Canada. We are pleased to introduce Shemale Allison of Toronto.

What do you like to do in your free time? I love playing video games. I’m deliriously addicted to Tomb Raider for 360 right now. I actually own a PS3/PS4, a 360 and an Xbox One. I’m addicted.

Do you have any fantasies? My main fantasy is an outdoor one. I love the idea of a hot, fit guy walking up to me in the park with his big cock out. Taking me by the hand and into the bush and having hot passionate sex with me. He has to have a bigger cock than me though, I mean it’s a fantasy, right?!? lol

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? What are you working towards now? I am most proud of being true to myself. I am very open about my sex worker past. I get very angry when people think it’s there place to judge or pass judgement. I try to be as open as possible in hopes of helping other girls to stop feeling ashamed of what they did to transition or to survive.

Best gift? Best gift I ever received was from my nieces. My mother passed away in 2014 and my nieces for Christmas found a bunch of photos of us and my mom that I hadn’t seen in years and framed it for me. Even though the glass broke I still hung it up on my wall. I still walk past and touch the photos and say hello to my mom.

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? I can’t stand stupid people. By that I mean ignorant people who just pass judgment and are mean spirited towards others it’s sad to me. I was bullied as a kid and now as an adult I don’t put up with it at all.

What do you like to do in your free time? I enjoy playing ukulele and guitar. I have been playing guitar for about 10 years and the ukulele since November 9, 2014. Being a newly single transgirl, I have been experiencing life to it’s fullest. This is THE first time ever that I am single and look the way I do. With that said, I very much delight in trying new things, saying “why not” more, and enlightening myself.

I also revel in going out to party, dining out, watching movies (especially Marvel movies), and being a social butterfly.

Do you have any fantasies? I have many fantasies.

Sexual-wise, they include hot tgirls and females indulging in my fetishes with me. My fetishes include smoking, latex, leather, candle wax, and suction. Just to name a few.

Non-sexual-wise, I simply wish to travel and experience life to it’s fullest. To spend time with friends and family when I can, and also star in a Marvel Studios film within their Marvel Cinematic Universe. That would be incredible!

Transition is physical, emotional, and social, all of which present different types of challenges. Tell us about your experience of them if you could. My transition has been, and still is not, an easy path to take. It has been rewarding in some facets of my life but physically, because hormones effect everyone differently, my body has not panned out how I would have liked. Due to starting at the later age of 22, hormones didn’t give me breasts, or much fat redistribution. So, to achieve the look I want, how I picture my female self in my mind, I have had to get surgery but I still want more surgery to achieve my final look.

Emotionally and socially, I have had many big ups and big downs. Because of the hormones, I do get mood swings, but the most emotional part of my transition was how it affected my relationship with loved ones. Friends, family, and past girlfriends. I have lost friends. I have lost literally half my family on my paternal side because they would just not be or try to be open minded and love me for who I am. I have lost prior loves because they either didn’t care to want and love a trans person, or they did not want to be with me because of how my transition will make me look. It has been seriously devastating for me.

Me personally, if I am with someone I love and want to spend the rest of my life with, if they wanted to change something about their look, it would not affect me at all, nor my love for them. I only care if this change would make them happy. Hell, it is her body, not mine. It is hers to do with what she wants. As long as it makes her happy and does not cause any harm to anyone. With the heart ache I feel from my recent ex relationship, I have made it known not just to anyone, but mainly to myself, that I could not get back into something like that. I have got too much going on with my life to add more emotional stress. On the last day I was in Japan, when I was getting honorably discharged out of the Navy, one of my best friends on my ship, David Frasier, walked me down the pier to wait with me for my taxi to Narita Airport. He knew I wanted to be a woman and why I was getting out of the Navy, but he was still a loyal friend, and right as my taxi pulled up, he gave me a hug, pulled away, pointed at me and said, “You do you.” These words didn’t truly impact me until I recently became single. I have no time machine. I posses no magical reality warping powers. I could not “fix” this gaping wound of a relationship. So after many nights of contemplating my transition path, I finally recalled those words David said. “You. Do. You.”

Since then I have been repairing my life, working towards what I want and need, and enjoying as much as I can.

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? The things I am most proud of so far in my life are that I am transitioning and feeling more and more like my self each day. I am proud of how well I can play ukulele and guitar because I earned that talent with constant practice. Not a day goes by that I don’t pick up my ukulele. I am quite proud of my official website www.EvaCassini.com. It has recently been in hiatus for a handful of months, but that is only because of my recent break up. I finally have a new hand me down laptop that I am working from now, which will allow me to work. Also with the transition of of my site to the new Model Centro system through Grooby, my site will be up and running soon with frequently frequent sexy updates!

What are you working towards now? Currently I am working towards furthering my transitions goals. I am fond of the “bimbo” look. Simply put, big boobs, small waist, big butt with wide hips, and typically tanned dark. I currently have long blonde hair, which usually is a staple in the bimbo look, but soon (or by the time this awesome magazine debuts), I will debut my new hair! I am very excited about it and I can’t wait to show you all!

I am also looking forward to my move to LA. I know that with the group of friends I have and the professional connections I know, and along with my ability to make money stably, this move will be the best thing to happen yet! This move will get my life back on track with me taking full control over my life and doing what makes me happy and what makes me succeed.

Best gift? The best gift I have ever received, is my ukulele, which was given to me by my ex girlfriend Jamie French

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? When I am called something I am not. When talk, about me, is false information.

You would never catch me wearing… a glove. (Had to do it! LOL)

What has acceptance come to mean to you? Acceptance is a welcome. It is being open minded. It allows one’s self to not live with hate and negativity.

It brings people together to share in enlightenment. It’s a love.

What do you like to do in your free time? Doing anything with my computer. Also, gardening and reading.

Transition is physical, emotional, and social, all of which present different types of challenges. Tell us about your experience of them if you could. It was tough but nothing worth having comes easy. Surprisingly, the challenges and attacks made me more determined in finding lasting solutions for the REAL challenges of transgender people. Maybe at one time I was bitter and a bit mean, but it is a journey and one has to make sense of everything in a way that will make one want to wake up next morning even when it’s clear you are at a disadvantage.

What are you the most proud of so far in your life? What are you working towards now? Winning in the court of law and court of public opinion in landmark cases involving transgender people in Kenya involving discrimination and violence.

Describe the 2-3 events that most shaped your life. Forming the Transgender Education and Advocacy, wins in court on the right to register my organization and to change names and my gender mark on my high school certificate.

When I was attacked by some gay activists for advocating for the right of transgender people to voice and represent themselves and their issues. I broke the myth that transgender people were meant to be sheep or flower girls for the homosexual community. I easily weathered the storm and made me realize how tough I was. From that day I embraced my second name -Mbugua – which means a person of steel.

What are some hot topics in your area? Silly tribal politics. I hate it when grown up men and women defend politicians from their tribe using arguments that are illogical and you want to call them animals but you feel like you will be offending the beasts in the jungle.

What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Best gift? None. I guide myself. All the people who try to advice me are wrong.

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? Confusing transgender people with homosexuals. I am not homophobic but I normally read malice when people gaynize transgender people. I believe the intention is to use transgender people for homosexual acts and make them targets of homophobic attacks.

You would never catch me wearing _____ Fear. I am a transgender woman of steel.

What do you most admire? Courage, confidence and intelligence.

Are there any memorable characters who had an impact on your life? My father

Fitness is very important to you. What are some of your top tips? Running on a Saturday morning. It increases my endurance.

Can you tell me about your family? Parents, siblings, extended? How did they influence who you are? I have a father and a mother. Two older brothers and two younger sisters. They are courageous and I love them.

What has acceptance come to mean to you? It feels nice but I know there are relatives who are ashamed of me. But, they are all entitled to their opinion.

What do you like to do in your free time? During my spare time I’m a major fan of relaxation therapy deprivation tanks. It’s a sound proof, completely pitch black, pod, with about 40 centimeters of water with epsom salts in it. You basically just go in it for an hour or so, and relax and let your mind do the rest. I love to lay back and have the feeling of floating in there. My mind just regenerates itself, and I always leave feeling so refreshed in a positive state of mind, and relaxed…at first it was pretty freaky being locked in there in the pitch black, but trust me does wonders.

What gets you riled up enough to lose your temper? Hmmmm, my biggest thing that gets my temper going, is people who are so quick to judge you from what they hear or read. I dislike people who judge or tease others to make themselves feel good. It’s not needed and I don’t like the bad energy it brings into the room.

Fitness/beauty/cooking/etc. is very important to you. What are some of your top tips? Any of you who are planning on visiting Australia – My best beauty advice would be to drink lots of water. Also, wear moisturizer and sunscreen with a high SPF! And hey, maybe a little Botox (HEHE), apparently our ozone layer is thinner? (Im trying to sound smart.)

Can you tell me about your family? Parents, siblings, extended? How did they influence who you are? My family and I are incredibly close, and I’m very lucky to have such a understanding accepting family. I guess they always knew when I was growing up I was stuck in the wrong body. When I told my mum I was changing into a girl her first words were “About bloody time.” Hahaha. They have offered nothing but acceptance and loving feelings towards me still, which I treasure and don’t take for granted. My sister and I are like best friends. She knows my life and I know what’s happening with hers, and quite bizarrely, we are so open with each other, we know each others sex life!!! Hahaha. It’s a weird, close bond we have, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s like having a best girlfriend in high school, all the convos we have!!

What has acceptance come to mean to you? I was really big with being “accepted” when I first changed. But now I’m happy to say I’m so content with myself and comfortable and confident, if some one doesn’t accept me for who I am, I will not give them the time of day…

You would never catch me wearing ?? Hmmm, you know what? I’m a dork. I’ll wear anything for a laugh!! lol

Who do you most admire? I admire Carmen Carrera. Omg, she is just so inspiring, and such a great role model. I also LOVVVVVEE Sarina Valentina!! xoxo

Do you have any fantasies? I have many fantasies, but there is one in particular that I would like to come true. This is being seen while having sex … a sexual encounter on a stage crowded, either with one or more girls or boys.

Transition is physical, emotional and social, which present different types of challenges. Tell us about your experience of them if you could. After Caitlyn Jenner’s glamorous debut as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair, the transgender community stressed that the transition from Jenner was not typical, but has the respect of the community. Many transgender people do not have the resources or the support of Jenner enjoyed. Although the transition of each person is unique, most transgender people suffer from lack of support or understanding from their families. Moreover, they can take years to make the full transition, if they succeed. You should not judge trans people (and by extension, should offer acceptance and rights) based on their ability to ‘make an impression’. We must stop forcing transgender people to feel they need to undergo a lot of quite distressing medical procedures that may not wish or are beyond their reach. I revealed that he was transgender when he was 27, but medical transition began two years ago. My self-esteem grew significantly thing I attribute to the comfort felt by openly express what they knew for years: I am a woman. I’m trying to raise $34,000 for facial feminization surgery, which involves a series of reconstructive procedures that will add more femininity to my features. Although the lack of resources for surgeries, and lack of support when I revealed my situation have been great obstacles, I feel it was worth. My favorite part of the process is just beginning really, I’m just getting to the point where the person I see in the mirror is more woman than man and that’s super exciting! There is a feeling of fullness and connection with my body that is slowly but surely comes over me. It’s unlike anything I’ve experienced before. People did not know what to think or how to deal with me. Many people do not understand how a person who had so many male interests; motorcycles, cars, soccer … and so on could be transgender. However, I am and I am very happy with the changes you have made so far and am excited about what the future holds for me.

What is the best advice you’ve received? “Struggle to achieve your goals.”

Best gift? My best gift is life.

Who or what do you most admire? My parents for their fighting character. I also admire my partner because their values and their way of life has brought me a lot of my life. It’s a really wonderful person. Beauty is something beautiful to admire. The beauty I can find when I look into the eyes of a child, or looking mountains or enjoying a sunset. The beauty is in the big things, like the others are doomed to die, or in that small, unpretentious can be infinite. Beauty gives me pleasure and I can not help but admire and be grateful for what I see.

Are there any memorable characters who had an impact on your life? Leonardo Da Vinci. He was ahead of his time, almost alien. He ventured into such diverse fields as aerodynamics, hydraulics, anatomy, botany, painting, sculpture and architecture, among others. His scientific investigations were, largely forgotten and undervalued by his contemporaries; his output, however, was immediately recognized as a master able to realize the ideal of beauty in works of disturbing suggestion and delicate poetry. It makes me laugh at Dan Brown, because I am convinced that he has not understood Leonardo. No not really. If you want to know how Brown is wrong about Leonardo da Vinci, you only need to think of something as simple as the name of the artist. Starting with the title and following the novel, Brown and all his scholars characters refer to the artist simply as Da Vinci, like its name. Well, you know what? That’s not his name. No historical literature or reference book named him that. His name was Leonardo. Illegitimate son of one Piero da Vinci, born in the city of Vinci, near Florence. So obviously it means Da Vinci comes from the town of Vinci. Someone who claims to be an art expert and continually refers to it as Da Vinci is as credible as an expert course in religion to call Jesus of Nazareth as continuously. Search a history book and will read things about Leonardo Da Vinci not. Go to the library and ask for a biography of the artist. You will not find D or V. You find Leonardo L, because that’s his name. Perhaps we agree on this: an author who can not even give the name of the central historical figure of his book, would not deserve us to trust his knowledge of history. It can certainly entertain us otherwise, but, please, do not pretend that The Da Vinci Code we report on history, religion or art.

Health is very important to you. What is some of your best advice? A good diet based on the Mediterranean food, drinking water, restful sleep and daily exercise.
