Posing in the new video ad for the latest launch by celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath, the long-haired 17-year-old worked the camera with his piercing blue eyes in a simple black leather jacket and a white T-shirt.

Damian isn’t shy in showcasing the bond he and his mother share and often posts pictures of them together to social media. Elizabeth, who turned 54 in June, recently told Red magazine that with Damian nearly being finished with high school, he’ll soon be able to make his own decisions with “interfering mummy in the background.”

Good Dad - Dwyane Wade

Dwyane Wade shut down internet haters who criticized his son's nails and outfit

Thanksgiving Greeting from the Wade Family 

By Christina Maxouris, CNN

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union have been vocal about their thoughts on the importance of inclusivity before. And just like every time in the past, Wade didn't hold back after social media users shared their thoughts on a picture of his family.

The ex-Miami Heat player's wife, actress Gabrielle Union, posted a Thanksgiving family photo last week with their two children. Their son, Zion, is sporting white nails and what some Instagram users said was a crop top.

And when social media users began to criticize the photo, Wade responded [on Twitter].

I’ve seen some post-thanksgiving hate on social about my family photo. Stupidity is apart of this world we live in—so i get it. But here’s the thing—I’ve been chosen to lead my family not y’all. So we will continue to be us and support each other with pride, love & a smile!

Hundreds of users responded to express their support.

"Shout out D. Wade for setting the example of a Black father loving and accepting their children as they are," said one Twitter user, who was retweeted by the athlete. "There'd be a lot less trauma in our community if more Black dads were like this."

Wade and Union both have emphasized the importance of inclusivity -- especially within their own family.

Earlier this year, Wade posted a picture of Zion and Union at Miami Beach Pride Parade, captioning it: "We support each other with Pride."


"I truly hope that everyone gets the love, support and hugs they deserve," Union said on social media in October.

What a wonderful supportive dad!

Cross Dressing Night Before Christmas

Posted to alt.fashion.crossdressing by Shae Guerin  2002-12-23. 

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all thru the house

I was making my plans to look more like my spouse

I carefully laid out my very best clothes

My bra and my panties, my slip and my hose

My stockings weren't hung by the chimney tonite

They were on me instead, feeling sensually tight

My dress was of velvet, a burgundy red

And on my long nails a new polish was spread

With makeup and jewelry, high heels on my feet

I was looking so sexy, and feeling so sweet

When out in the yard there arose such a noise

That I sprang from my bedroom, forgetting my poise

The moon on the snow with it's brilliant white glitter

Reminds me of lace, to set my heart a-twitter

When what to my long-lashed eyes should appear

But a person in red with a sleigh and reindeer

But I couldn't tell, was it a 'he' or a 'she'

The one with the pack was dressed somewhat like me

There in the sleigh was this 'cutsey' old flirt

With a white wig and makeup, a red blouse and skirt

The reindeer were sparkling, with rhinestones and pearls

And their antlers in ribbons, so they all looked like girls

When s/he stepped from the sleigh, to my eyes were revealed

Her knee-hi black boots with their seven-inch heels

Santa just blushed, but I stood there and smiled

And said, "Hello, my dear, can you stay for awhile?"

"Well you finally caught me", he said with a pout

"At this time on Christmas, folks are seldom about."

"I don't go enfemme very ofen at home,

Mrs Clause doesn't like it, so I do it alone.

"So when I give out goodies to make others smile

"I like to feel pretty and femme for awhile."

"So I ride off dressed up, from my hi-heels to wig,

"On Christmas eve night while I'm doing my gig."

I said, "Don't worry Santa, your secret is safe

Why don't you come in and just freshen your face."

We sat and we talked and vented our passion

For feminine frills and the latest new fashions

We finally parted with a hug and a kiss

She said, "I must go now, or some children I'll miss"

I went to my party and had a great time

With music and laughter and good food and wine

But when I returned and looked under my tree

I found some new pretties from sweet Santa to me

Lacy panties, a bra and a soft satin blouse

Perfumes and some candles to light up my house

But it wasn't the goodies that swept away my blues

It was knowing that Santa was a cross dresser too

So next time don't judge all the people you meet

By what they are wearing when out on the street

For in being ones self, there's no 'wrong or right' 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Masculine Differential - Last Minute Shopping

Five Reasons Men Love to Leave Christmas Shopping Until the Last Minute

From: The GoodManProject
By: Glenn Poole 12/24/2013

I’m not a fan of gender stereotypes but there does seem to be some universal truth in the idea that just like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie Jingle All The Way, men are more likely to leave their Christmas shopping to the last minute.

This year, a survey by the Australian National Retailers Association found that men are two and a half times more likely than women to do their shopping in the last few days before Christmas.

In the UK, one major department store claims they know when men start Christmas shopping each year because sales of the country’s best-selling festive perfume, Chanel No. 5, start rising. According to Ruth Attridge of the retailer Debenhams:

It’s like a starting pistol going off. As soon as we see sales of Chanel No. 5 rising, we know that men have begun the race to get their Christmas shopping done. Men have a totally different way of shopping. They just want to get into store, pick up the items they want as quickly as possible – and leave.

So, bearing in mind that as with all gender stereotypes, this won’t apply to all men or women—here’s a list of five possible reasons why men are more likely on average to start shopping for Christmas presents later than women:

  1.  Men get less satisfaction out of gift buying

 2.  Men don’t want to buy the gifts that women want to receive

3.  The thought of buying and receiving presents makes us anxious

4.  Gift buying isn’t men’s way of expressing love

5:  Men love the challenge of a one-day hunt (my favorite) 

Of course  not all men will conform to the global gender stereotype of shopping late for Christmas—-and there will be some women who also leave it until the last minute. Whether you’re buying gifts right up until shops close on Christmas Eve or whether you finished wrapping your last present weeks ago, I wish you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Tall Women In High Heels

What men really think when they see a tall woman wearing high heels.

From the Site SheKnows:
by Kacie McCoy

 It’s a bold woman who wears 4-inch heels when she already towers over a room in bare feet. We talked with a handful of guys to get their take on fearless Amazon women in high heels. As a 6’3″ woman myself, I often wonder what men think when I wear high heels. As it turns out, most men love the look! So grab your stilettos and hit the town, tall women everywhere, because you’re about to turn a few heads.

Here are the Comments:

Feeling shy

“Tall women who wear heels are so pretty, but I definitely feel intimidated by them. I’m only 5’8″, so a woman who wears high heels is going to make me stare but probably not ask her out.” Joe, age 25.

“I usually think tall women who wear heels are sexy but out of my league. They look like models, and I’m just a regular guy. I probably wouldn’t approach her in a bar, even if I wanted to.” Martin, age 31.

“I feel some tall women wear heels to further emphasize their height. Like, ‘Look, I’m taller than you,’ or ‘Yes, I’m over 6’0″ tall in these heels.'” Matt, age 27.

Bring on the gorgeous legs!

“Tall women in high heels have legs that go on for miles. I don’t care if a woman is taller than me — those legs in high heels look spectacular!” Ryan, age 35.

“I’ve never seen a more beautiful woman than a 6’0″ co-worker at my old job. She would wear nicely fitted clothes to work, and would pair every outfit with sexy high heels. The heels made her legs look amazing. To this day, I kick myself for not asking her out. I just figured she wouldn’t want to date a shorter guy.” Tim, age 44.

Gwendoline Christie—Height: 6 feet 3 inches
HBO’s series “Game of Thrones.”

Confidence is a turn-on

“Simply put: I think tall women in heels are confident, secure and beautiful.” Jerome, age 28.

“There’s nothing better than a woman who knows who she is and what she likes. I can’t help but think tall women who wear high heels fall in that category, because I’m sure they field a ton of questions and comments due to their fashion choices.” Samuel, age 34.







Strange sensations

“When I see a tall woman in heels, I automatically wonder what kind of super children we could make together. Yum.” Zack, age 35.

“If I see a tall woman in a bar or club, I’ll stare at her for most of the night, but I won’t ask her to dance until we’re both adequately drunk. Girls like that are intimidating.” Michael, age 28.

“It’s weird to make out with someone taller than me, but bring it on!” Jake, age 25.

Patti Davis said the president’s sense of decency is “nonexistent” in a stinging editorial for The Washington Post.

Patti Davis, the daughter of former President Ronald Reagan, joined the widespread chorus of criticism leveled at the impeached President Donald Trump over his attack on the late Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.)

Trump at a campaign rally in Michigan on Wednesday implied the late lawmaker, who died in February, could be in hell.

Davis, in an op-ed published by The Washington Post on Thursday, said it showed Trump’s “cruelty really has no limits.”

“Trump has assaulted numerous people at his rallies — a Gold Star family, a disabled reporter, various women, political rivals,” she wrote.

“He knows full well the impact of attacking people so publicly,” said Davis, who earlier this year said her late father would have been “horrified” to see what the GOP had become under Trump.

“Maybe some of those in his audience on Wednesday finally began to perceive that his cruelty is limitless, his sense of decency nonexistent,” she added.
