http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog Random thoughts from a geekgirl. Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:34:42 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've mentioned (humorously!) a couple other products that promise to expand one's bosom (e.g. cookiesмебели стара загора and even teacomposite triple beat). Now, for those who want yet another alternative, there's Bust-up gumмебели (if you follow the link, scroll about two-thirds down the page). It promises ... http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog/?p=26 There's a cool video on YouTube about a ball girl who makes an incredible catch of a fly ball, and then casually tosses it to the player who she outshone. For better or worse, though, it's not real... A viral video for Gatorade. But a nice affirmation of a ... http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog/?p=25 There's been a happy wire story going around about an American hiker who got lost in the Alps. After falling down a crevasse, she got stuck and -- rather enterprisingly! -- managed to hook her sports bra onto a cable used for transporting logs. When it got back ... http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog/?p=24 Hi all. I just got back from a week at the Esprit conference (www.espritconf.com). The Seattle Times newspaper sent a reporter and photographer to cover a couple days, and they ended up with a nice article. It was on the (get this!) front page of Saturday's paper. The ... http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog/?p=23 So there's been a lot of discussion about the Oregon fellow (transman) who is currently with child.  Thankfully (and I'm so proud of 2008!) most of is has been quite positive, whether it's in the blogosphere or on Oprah.  But it turns out that he isn't the first! http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/41909/World-Exclusive-The-man-who-%20gave-birth Wow!  Good for ... http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog/?p=22 Reuters today has a story titled "Cafe with cross-dressing difference". I once was able to visit the Akihabara neighborhood in Tokyo to gawk at electronics. I hadn't heard about the maid cafes, in which the waitresses dress as French maids (or a uniquely Japanese interpretation thereof :) ). Apr. ... http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog/?p=21 The local "Just Out" newspaper has a brief blurb about NWGA's board members and group awards for 2007.  Click on the newpaper name above and go to page 8.  {Note: this link may not work forever -- I have no idea how long they keep issues on their website).  Congrats ... http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog/?p=19 No, it isn't "On the next episode of Maury..."  It seems that right here in Oregon, a couple consisting of a natal woman and a transman decided they wanted to have a child.  Since the GG was unable to conceive, the husband underwent artificial insemination. This article (from the Advocate via ... http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog/?p=18 Nothing to do with crossdressing, but for those who read this, have a blessed Resurrection Sunday.  (I realize not everyone celebrates it, but still... :) I have a few thoughts in the queue, but haven't had time to write them down. :(  I'm working on it, though! Robin http://www.robinspace.com/robinblog/?p=17 The Times had a very interesting article this weekend titled "When girls will be boys."  In the context of F2M t-folk at women's colleges, they explore quite a few issues for transmen and transgender people in general.  I recommend it!
