			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best parts of being a woman is having CURVES galore!</p>
<p>But maybe you&#8217;re wondering &#8230;</p>
<p>It is really possible to look like an hourglass if you&#8217;re built like a rectangle or an apple (as most transgender women are)?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2112" title="bodyshapes" src="http://feminizationsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bodyshapes.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="397" /></p>
<p>The answer is YES!</p>
<p>Keep reading to learn how to slim your waist and enhance your hips to achieve an hourglass shape:</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #cc0066;"><strong>1. Try corset training</strong></span></p>
<p>If you’ve never worn a corset before, you’re in for a treat. A corset can take up to 6” off your waist and make you look and feel ultra feminine.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2088" title="corset" src="http://feminizationsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/corset.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="299" /></p>
<p>A corset can even be used for permanent (or at least semi-permanent) waist size reduction. Corset training isn&#8217;t fast or easy, but it can work wonders when combined with a proper diet and exercise.</p>
<p>Check out <a href="http://romantasy.com/" target="_blank">Romantasy.com</a> to learn more about corset training. They offer corsets, training materials, and even a 3-month waist training coaching program.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #cc0066;"><strong>2. Wear a waist cincher</strong></span></p>
<p>As lovely as corsets are, they aren’t always practical. A big drawback is that corsets can look stiff and bulky under most clothes.</p>
<p>Waist cinchers, on the other hand, are designed to be worn under clothing. A waist cincher can take 1-4 inches off your waist while still allowing you to move and breath easily.</p>
<p>Here are 3 top-reviewed waist cinchers available in small to extra-large sizes.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Flexees-Instant-Slimmer-Waistnipper-6868/dp/B0007UOLIK/ref=pd_sbs_a_17 " target="_blank">Flexees Instant Slimmer Waistnipper</a></li>

<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #cc0066;"><strong>3. Improve your posture</strong></span></p>
<p>Most of us have poor posture from being slumped over computers all day. Good posture can make you look 10 pounds lighter around the middle, so pay attention to the way you sit and stand. Think: stomach in, chest lifted, and shoulders back.</p>
<p>Even better – put on your waist cincher! A waist cincher improves your posture by forcing you to keep your tummy in and your spine straight.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #cc0066;"><strong>4. Try the vacuum pose</strong></span></p>
<p>Traditional exercises like crunches and sit-ups can overdevelop your abs and increase the size of your waist. Have you ever noticed that many modern bodybuilders have bulging abdomens? Compare this to the wasp-waist look of old school bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jack Lalanne.</p>
<table style="width: 510px;" border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center">

<p>You obviously don’t want to look like “The Terminator”, but these classic bodybuilders were onto something. Their secret was the “vacuum pose”.</p>
<p>The vacuum pose is an exercise that tones the transverse abdominis. The transverse abdominis is the innermost ab muscle, which supports your posture and helps hold your stomach in. Everyday crunches don&#8217;t target this muscle.</p>
<p>The vacuum pose can take 2-4 inches off your waist, so it’s definitely worth a try. (I personally lost 1 inch off my waist after vacuum posing for 2 weeks!) Here’s how to do it:</p>
<ol>
<li>Exhale all the air from your lungs.</li>
<li>Expand your chest and suck in your stomach as much as possible. Imagine trying to touch your belly button to your spine.</li>
<li>Hold this pose for 5-15 seconds and then relax.</li>
<li>Repeat for 3-5 minutes.</li>
</ol>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2092" title="vacuumpose" src="http://feminizationsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/vacuumpose.jpg" alt="" width="370" height="510" /></p>
<p>The vacuum pose should be done on an empty stomach and can be done standing, sitting, or on your hands and knees. Check out <a href="http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ms-fit5.htm" target="_blank">this article</a> to learn more about the vacuum pose.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium; color: #cc0066;"><strong>5. Enhance your hips</strong></span></p>
<p>A small waist is only half of the equation. Your hips should appear approximately 10 inches larger than your waist for true hourglass proportions.</p>
<p>Here are some tips for enhancing your hips:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Wear padded panties.</strong> <a href="http://www.clcrv.com/index.cfm" target="_blank">Classic Curves</a> carries the best hip and butt enhancers for crossdressers and transgender women. You can also find a big selection of removable hip and butt pads on <a href="http://www.lovemybubbles.com/land-butt-pads.shtml" target="_blank">LoveMyBubbles.com</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Go for skirts and dresses with gathered waistlines.</strong> Gathers are the easiest way add inches to your lower body and create the illusion of hips.</li>
<li><strong>Look for peplum styles.</strong> A peplum is a ruffle or overskirt attached to the waistline of a top, dress, or skirt. Besides adding fullness to the hips, the peplum is a very fashion-forward look.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes a girl just wants to show off – and what better way to do so then with fabulous, feminine cleavage?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1607" title="cleavage" src="http://feminizationsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/cleavage.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="293" /></p>
<p>You have 3 options for creating cleavage:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.thebreastformstore.com/BodyShape-Tape.aspx" target="_blank">Tape</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.clcrv.com/crossdressing/divax.cfm" target="_blank">The Diva Crossdresser Cleavage Enhancer</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.nubra.com/" target="_blank">The Nubra</a></li>
</ol>
<p>The Nubra is my favorite cleavage creator. It’s fast and easy and will give you awesome cleavage &#8211; even if you have ZERO breasts!</p>
<p>Here’s how to do it:</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1598" title="nubra-feather" src="http://feminizationsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/nubra-feather.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="206" />1. Get a Nubra</strong></p>
<p>The Nubra is a backless, strapless “stick-on” bra that adheres directly to the breasts. The cups are attached separately and then clasped, pulling the breasts together to create cleavage.</p>
<p>You can order the Nubra <a href="http://www.nubra.com/" target="_blank">online</a> or find it at Macy’s, Nordstroms and other department stores for around $30. Look for the Feather-Lite or Ultra-Lite styles.</p>
<p><strong>2. Prep your chest</strong></p>
<p>The Nubra requires a clean, smooth surface to adhere to. Shave your chest the night before and wash with soap and water immediately before applying the Nubra.</p>
<p><strong>3. Attach the bra cups</strong></p>
<p>Unclasp the Nubra so the cups are separated. Adhere the cups to your breasts, making sure they are positioned symmetrically on each side.</p>
<p>HINT: The further the cups are placed from each other, the more the cleavage you’ll be able to create.</p>
<table class="aligncenter" style="width: 380px;" border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1601" title="nubra-3" src="http://feminizationsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/nubra-3.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="144" /></td>
<td><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1602" title="nubra-4" src="http://feminizationsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/nubra-4.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="144" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><strong>4. Connect the clasps</strong></p>
<p>Bending over slightly, pull your breasts together and clasp the bra in the middle. Viola – instant cleavage!</p>
<p>But we’re not done yet …</p>
<p><strong>5. Put on a pushup bra and breast forms</strong></p>
<p>Unless you have large breasts, you’ll want to add some curves to your cleavage. The Nubra should be worn under a pushup bra and breast forms. Place the breast forms in the outer bottom corners of your bra and tighten the bra straps for extra lift.</p>
<table class="aligncenter" style="width: 380px;" border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center">

<tr>
<td><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1603" title="nubra-5" src="http://feminizationsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/nubra-5.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="144" /></td>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>And there you have it – sexy cleavage that is begging to be shown off!</p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>UPDATE:</strong></span> A few ladies have asked if this method works if you are thin or don&#8217;t have much breast tissue. Absolutely! Check out this video I found for a Nubra demo on a skinny girl:</p>
