By the time you read this, the Universal Standard sample sale will be over. To its loyal customers, Universal Standard made many of its current sample pieces available online, so that they could clear out some inventory. This T-Girl loves the quality of the store's products, and can only wish I had a nicer body on which to wear their garments.

My late wife would be laughing at me, as I have become quite a clothes horse. It's nice to receive a new article of clothing in the mail (or from Amazon, UPS, or FedEx) and have a chance to wear it. Unlike my late wife, I tend to wear the stuff I buy - especially now that I'm buying clothes of a higher quality (preferably at a deep discount). When I pass, I don't expect that there will be any garments in my closet that still have price tags, as most will have been worn several times.
As I've mentioned in prior entries, I have bought some exercise wear, so that I can go out walking and not get my good clothes ruined by sweat. I have also bought some nice casual clothes to wear on warm days - and will be wearing them soon. But the question remains: what should this T-Girl wear in colder weather? Fewer women are wearing dresses in cool weather than they did when I was a kid, and I don't want to stand out - I want to blend in with the other women around me.

On other matters, RQS and I were discussing the personalities of our Texas friends. One of these friends is very observant, saying relatively little, but shows quite a bit of confidence. The other shows her rough edges, and I'd love to help her smooth them out. But unless asked, I'll keep my mouth shut and give advice only when asked for.
One of these days, I'd like to be presentable enough to spend the day in their area as Marian, and then revert to my male presentation for maximum safety. This might mean bringing a little bit of both male and female wardrobes with me if I were to visit, and then switch between modes only for that part of the trip. First, I want to see a Democrat elected as Governor again in that state....
This brings me to politics. We're seeing a snow motion coup being staged by the GOP, with Trump as their charismatic leader. What frightens me is that the people who'll being him to power will not be able to control the beast they have unchained. We've seen this scenario 90 years ago in Central Europe, and I'm afraid it might happen here. If the worst happens, Canada will only be a way stop for me, as I want to get completely out of Dodge before High Noon. I wonder how many people will be able to make the last train out....
