When you look like me you can do a very visible outrageous look. But y'know what? I don't have an n'th the courage of the LG in central Manchester. <br /><br />@Sally: glad to have been of assistance!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027942517258679266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-87406568604641778982011-07-14T22:16:18.886+01:002011-07-14T22:16:18.886+01:00There are a few things that could be done to impro...There are a few things that could be done to improve Sparkle, but there is no getting away from it being the only national celebration that embraces everything T*. Excluding any aspect of trans from Sparkle would just say that it is OK to discriminate against any T-person.<br /><br />The lack of publicity of what is a very colourful event unfortunately allows cliques to think it is just for them - Sparkle needs to be clear in its aim and the organisers must be strong and not bullied.<br /><br />If people don't like it - they shouldn't go, running down the only celebration we have is only going to leave us with nothing, and where else could I wear my denim mini skirt.<br /><br />Suzie xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-66865140292342557752011-07-14T21:12:03.080+01:002011-07-14T21:12:03.080+01:00That seems to have nothing on what people wear to ...That seems to have nothing on what people wear to dinner during Atlanta's Southern Comfort Convention's gathering of Trans's people.<br /><br />My wife says that she has seen the same sort of extreme outfits when she attended large healthcare conferences before she retired as an RN.Kay & Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244257765709660605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-25447064880414790652011-07-14T20:49:45.211+01:002011-07-14T20:49:45.211+01:00I've never heard of a Sparkle, but I am so def...I've never heard of a Sparkle, but I am so definitely intrigued!<br /><br />Looking it up quickly introduced me to 2 events in my area, so a huge thank-you hug is definitely in order. :)Sally Bibraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10380766673885084474noreply@blogger.com
