Monica Reconstructed

This is one of two blogs I have on tumblr. This one is for the pictures and stories about femininity, particularly through a transwoman perspective. My other blog onlymonica.tumblr.com is just for my own pictures. The title 'Monica Reconstructed' is a bit arcane, but I chose it since I had totally deleted my earlier blog, then went in search of my own pictures that others had reblogged. Sort of like trying to find, or reconstruct my past. The pictures at the top of this blog are of me. Most others in this blog are of women (GG, CD, TG, and Transwomen) who inspire me. I enjoy when people contact me, as long as it's all in good taste. I realize that's subjective, so don't worry -- you probably won't totally alienate me.

I’m more attracted to glamour than natural beauty. The young Marilyn Monroe was a pretty girl in a sea of pretty girls. Then she had her hair bleached, fake eyelashes, and that’s when she became extraordinary. It’s that idea of what you’re not born with, you can create.

Dita von Teese, The Observer, July 2007
