Caitlyn

I remember various articles about her but in 1956 I wouldn't have been very aware.
I think we might have seen her featured in the newsreels at the movies.

We didn't have TV in OZ in 1956.

Actually I think people are reacting more to who it is and the way he went about it rather than the transgender issue.

Very true... It's more about Bruce Jenner than it is about transgender.. Not every person going through gender reassignment gets a multipage spread in Vanity Fair glammed to the hilt.

They say smoking causes a lot of those upper lip wrinkles, wish I would have thought of that when I smoked.

Caitlyn smokes, will she quit now or just get more plastic surgery to remove them. I'm being catty again. :)

Yea, everybody gets them eventually but I think you get them sooner and worse when you smoke, which I did for 25 years. :p
 
Since you are all so interested in Bruce, you might want to note his tv series on July 26 on ET/PT

"I AM CAIT"

Eight-Part ,1 hour series will premiere at 9pm.
 
DW you are in OZ so you don't get to be bombarded every single day on TV, Radio, Newspapers and magazines about Jenner, Kardashian activities like we in America do. THAT is one of the main reasons for the interest and probably the negativity as well.
 
Regarding Chaz Bono, he was only famous because his mother is Cher. Of course his transition was different than Bruce/Caitlyn because he went from female Chastity to male Chaz. Then in 2011 he went on Dancing with the Stars and got more notoriety.

Btw Christine Jorgensen transitioned in 1951, Renee Richards in 1975.

In addition to Caitlyn, none of these people were/are poor.

That's what I am beginning to realise. I guess it would be the same if one of our champion Aussie Rules stars decided to do the same thing. Many people would be appalled, not because of what he was doing, but by who was doing it.

Transgenders aside, a lot of WOMEN don't have the wealth to look like Caitlyn.

Hehehe. I'm doing okay with the anti aging bit Shal, but I wish I had more money at times to just glam it up. I love shoes, jewelry, designer bags and all those girly things that make life worth living. :love_heart:
 
HaHa, Chic, I love Shoes and jewellery also. I would cover both my forearms in silver bangles/bracelets if I could. As for the plastic stuff, perhaps once, but at some point one gets old. Lol.
 
He makes excellent points and I like his hand gestures...I wonder if he rehearses his talk. Thanks Merlin, that was very good.

Thanks Cookie, I agree he makes good points, I don't think he rehearses, but he is an actor so maybe, I am a fellow Gemini, so I tend to identify with him more than some, we can be show-offs and a bit shallow at times, but I feel his heart is in the right place, as is mine when I last looked :eek:nthego:
 
It is a self evident truth (may I use that phrase?) that not all religious people disapprove of people like Bruce/Caitlin and that there are many people who are not religious who do. Categorising people is always very difficult but we love to do it.
 
Enjoyed Russell's take on this Merlin. Fortunately not all religious people espouse intolerance, but too many people religious and otherwise get their knickers in a knot over this subject. It is tedious. Lynn, you are our resident angel.
 
LynnD said:
I'm going to disagree here a little. I'm not religious but I do know religious people maybe not far right religious but religious and they don't care about Bruce Jenner being transgender.

Am I banished? Can I still be your angel, Merlin...you need one! :)

Banished??? no no no!!! of course not I need my angel, I have become attached :love_heart:
 
I love sushi, and I prefer the veggie ones. Very delish! But as I'm certainly no angel, I eat fish at times too. So very sorry, Shali.
 
LynnD said:
I too prefer the raw fish to the rolls that have the sticky rice, etc but I didn't want to tell Shalimar that.

I love ahi tuna, either seared or cut up in a marinade...yummy.

OMG... my absolute favorite to order in a good seafood restaurant.. Sesame seared and red on the inside.. But must be what they call sushi grade... ie.. frozen at subzero temps for x number of days.

The only concern any inspectors have is referred to as the parasite destruction guarantee, which is accomplished by ‘freezing and storing seafood at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 7 days (total time), or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -31°F (-35°C) or below for 15 hours, or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 24 hours’ which is sufficient to kill parasites. The FDA’s Food Code recommends these freezing conditions to retailers who provide fish intended for raw consumption.
