Some of the best examples of beauty and grace come from the leading ladies of Old Hollywood.
Ready to add some vintage glamour to your feminization journey? Here are 6 timeless tips from Old Hollywood to inspire your MTF transformation or transition!
1. Joan Crawford – Tip: Good Hair Goes a Long Way
“I think that the most important thing a woman can have – next to talent, of course – is her hairdresser.” – Joan Crawford
Few things have a bigger impact on your appearance than your hair. This applies whether you wear a wig or style your own natural hair.
If you want to look younger, prettier, and more feminine, the right hairstyle is the secret. Here are the 6 best hairstyles for crossdressers and transgender women.
2. Sophia Loren – Tip: Believe That You Are Beautiful
“Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.” – Sophia Loren
No amount of lipstick, hairspray, or surgery can truly make you beautiful if you don’t feel it within yourself.
Instead of comparing yourself to others, concentrate on your own unique beauty and femininity. Follow Sophia Loren’s wisdom and believe in your own beauty!
3. Audrey Hepburn – Tip: Always Be Elegant
“Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.” – Audrey Hepburn
Who could be more elegant than Audrey Hepburn herself? With her sophisticated style and graceful demeanor, she’s one of my favorite examples of ladylike elegance.
If you want to emulate Audrey Hepburn, you can start by avoiding these 5 mistakes that make you less ladylike.
4. Eartha Kitt – Tip: Don’t Worry About the Haters
“I have used all the manure that has been thrown on me as fertilizer to make me stronger.” – Eartha Kitt
If there are people in your life who don’t understand you, rest assured that you are not alone. Even somebody as fabulous and gorgeous as Eartha Kitt had her share of haters.
Instead of letting them get you down, use their negativity as fuel to help you grow stronger.
5. Marilyn Monroe – Tip: Find Your Signature Scent
“What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.” – Marilyn Monroe
Scent is closely tied to our emotions, making perfume a powerful tool. Applying a scent that makes you feel fantastic can boost your confidence and enhance your sense of beauty.
Take a tip from Marilyn Monroe and find your own signature scent for that extra touch of confidence and femininity.
6. Mae West – Tip: Live Life to the Fullest
“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” – Mae West
Choosing to embrace the woman within is a bold decision. You should be applauded for this! Many people never dare to express their deepest desires or true selves.
As Mae West said, you only live once. So, live life to the fullest, embracing your feminine self every step of the way.

Hello everyone,
I am more than three months into my transition. Estradiol, 2mg sublingually twice a day. Spiro, 100mg once daily. I’m getting discouraged. I still have body hair. I’m only seeing slight results. On my chest, there’s a small patch showing the hair lightening and growing finer. I’ve seen YouTube videos of other trans women who are three months into their transition showing significant changes to their appearance. My face and body are not feminizing. What am I doing wrong? Suggestions? Advice?
Best Regards,
Chloe Kopsho
I would say that what you’re doing wrong is…
Comparing yourself to others and you sound like you probably have expectations that you may or may not aquire. Hopefully, you’ll exceed your expectations and perhaps this post is old and you have already have the changes you seek. Either way, worrying won’t help.
Depending on age has a lot there do with getting rid of body hair. If you are still in the puperty age chances are your hair growth will stop but as we get older the affect on body hair is already there and the only way to stop it is long hours and many years of Electrolysis. Same with body contouring meds will not work I have been there and spent thousands of dollars and hours removing hair. Light hair is impossible to get rid of but there is a treatment that will change the color to dark but it only works in a few people.

I have always appreciated beauty, elegance, and intelligence. The 3 that personify that most, to me, are Grace Kelly, Heddy Lamar, and Ingrid Bergman.
Elizabeth Taylor inspired to me become a crossdresser, when I was young and impressionable during my puberty years,
especially when I saw her wear her beautiful very feminine looking silky nylon and lace trim full slips in her movies:
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof,
and Butterfield 8.
She had some scenes with her silky nylon stockings too.
I thought she looked so pretty, feminine, sexy and sensual in her silky slips and nylons, and that me desire wearing silky slips, nylons, other lingerie, and beautiful women’s silky female clothing to look beautiful and feminine.
Liz helped me bring out the woman inside me to become a crossdresser, and I just loved it ever since.
I always wished that I was pretty like her.

I like Miss Barbara Stanwyck as Victoria Barkley on the big valley. I never knew confidence until my third time wearing a dress in public in daylight. I am a veteran and go to my VA appointments in a dress and I am very comfortable but in guy clothes I have no confidence at all. I have not had anyone say anything to me but my best girlfriend heard a guy say about me after I left and she almost got in a fight with a guy over that.

Here’s a name out of the past. I was in a club last year and a woman approached me and said I looked like Arlene Dahl ! A sexy siren from the 1950’s, Arlene was a sexy actress who personified self assurance and swagger……..before swagger was a descriptive term.
