Build me a woman

If you are a man and want to look and feel like a girly girly girl, here is some useful information...

HAIR
You may grow your own hair, but wearing a long hair wig can produce a MASSIVE change to your appearance. It is not necessary to get an expensive natural hair wig, a good synthetic one can be very convincing and is easier to look after. Even a cheap 'party wig' can be good, though you may not be able to do many hairstyles with it. A wig which matches the colour of your own hair is best.

FACE
Some simple makeup can change your appearance significantly as well. The shades should be chosen to fit with your natural skin colour. After shaving completely smooth just cover your entire face with a thin layer of foundation, also your neck and chest if necessary. Then cover with base powder/loose powder, with a finishing powder over the top if necessary, and touch up with the finishing powder when required. This should cover beard shadow and even out any blotchiness in your face. If you use eyeshadow put the darker shade on your eyelids and the lighter shade below the eyebrows, and blend them. Eyeliner should be done in a thin line below the eye as close to the eyelashes as possible, and a little above as well if you like. Eyeliner can also be smudged to create a smoky eyeshadow look around the eyes. Lipliner is excellent for increasing lip size. Draw around the edges of your lips above and below, but not to the sides, then fill in your lips with lipstick of a similar colour.

CHEST
Shave your chest and armpits! Arm hair can be left alone if you like, so long as it is not too thick. Many women have hairy arms, it depends upon lighting conditions as to how visible it is - and it can be bleached instead of shaved, making it much less visible. Tape can be used on the chest to create a large cleavage, or a smaller pair of natural breasts. The best way is to use a single strip of suitable tape long enough to go around your body almost twice. Using the wrong tape and being too rough can damage or irritate your skin, medical tape or body tape is advised, but different types can be used. I use electrical tape, which stretches, sticks well but not TOO well, and does not damage or irritate my skin. To create a cleavage pull all the chest muscle from the bottom and sides (near the armpits) sideways and up, and tape into place with a nice valley in the middle. See other websites for more detailed information. Then wear breastforms and a bra and top covering the false breasts and tape. If you do it right this will look extremely convincing. Many models tape their bodies secretly underneath their clothing to enhance their features when being photographed, they do not have the 'perfect' bodies we are led to believe. To make natural breasts it is similar, but have the tape right underneath with the breasts fully exposed, rather than over the top holding them together, and use the tape to lift them up and sideways a little. Just experiment until you get something you like.

Breastforms can be bought quite cheaply. Rolled up socks will do if that is all you have, but they will not move naturally or feel like real breasts. There are different methods, but the easisest way to make your own breastforms is to cut off the lower legs from a pair of tights and less than half fill with a suitable amount of birdseed or rice, according to how large you want your breasts to be. Twist and turn the remainder inside-out, creating a second layer, and tie the bundle up, creating two sealed bags of seed/rice. Make sure each is not too loose or too tight, and if you pull the knot very tight and cut off the remainder just above it, it will also simulate a large nipple. The weight and bounce will be very convincing, but though they will move and bounce like real breasts they may not feel very realistic when touched, especially if rice is used. Note they do not have to be exactly the same size, most women have different sized breasts. Many men wear false breasts too high, the top of the bust should not be higher than the armpit. Note if cutting up tights the top part can also be used to make a gaffe. If you want a realistic feel as well as weight and bounce the best thing for the amateur is gelatine filled balloons, though also have them inside tights for extra security to avoid bursting them.

LOWER PARTS
Shave your legs! Or if you can't two pairs of dark tights should disguise any hair. Padding can also be used around the hips and bottom to create a more feminine shape, you could add your own if you preferred when making a gaffe. Painted toenails are excellent, even a shiny clear nail polish can be used and not noticed by others.

The major change from male to female is done by 'tucking'. The balls are pushed up inside the body in the corner of the scrotum at the base of the 'twanger', towards the belly button. They should appear as two little lumps in the abdomen, and may resemble 'cameltoe'. The twanger and empty scrotum is pushed down and back and flattened underneath, in between the legs. It can all be taped into place (after shaving the area) but this is not recommended, a tight fitting pair of knickers or two should hold it all in place, or use a gaffe. This should successfully pass BOTH the 'Crocodile Dundee' and 'Ace Ventura' tests, even while wearing a swimsuit. The balls should immediately fall back into position when released, but if not just give them a little push, don't worry they will not get stuck or lost! They will naturally retreat there in extreme cold conditions anyway. Tucking is also used by Sumo wrestlers, native hunters and others and protects the balls from damage. Note they should move into place very easily and should not be forced. If it hurts then you are not doing it right, and you may damage them if you try too hard. At first it may seem impossible and they are too large to fit. The secret entrance where they go into the abdomen will open up if you move your legs into different positions, and wiggle your hips about a bit. It is best lying down the first time, and move your legs together while moving your hips upwards. Pulling the twanger up will also lift the skin at its base in the corners, and also may help the balls pass through there more easily, though this should not be necessary.
