How to Look HOT in Your Femme Photos

Photos are a great way to share your feminine side with the world … and they can give you a huge confidence boost as a woman.
But I get it … you probably think you have to be born beautiful to look hot in photos.
Guess again! Looking great in photos is a SKILL.
Here are 5 photo posing secrets I learned while working as a fashion photo stylist in NY:
1. Create an hourglass shape
Never face the camera straight on. This gives your body a square, boxy look.

Instead, sit or stand with your hips facing sideways and twist at the waist so your shoulders face forward (see the image above). This creates the illusion of an hourglass shape.
2. Think pretty thoughts
The camera captures everything! If you feel bad about yourself, it will be reflected in your photos.
Do whatever it takes to make yourself feel attractive … Tell yourself you’re hot or imagine that you’re a supermodel. “Pretty thoughts” definitely shine through in photos.
3. Go for natural looking makeup
Don’t pose with dark or sparkly makeup. Dark makeup looks harsh, while sparkly or iridescent makeup don’t reflect light well in photos.
Instead, keep your lips light and play up your eyes for a natural, feminine look. Use lots of powder since camera lights reflect shine.
4. Find your best side
Everybody has a good side and a bad side. Experiment with different facial angles until you find your best look. (Note: a 3/4 view of your face is more flattering than a straight on view.)
Two more tips: Stretch your neck out to avoid a double chin and tilt your chin down slightly to make your eyes look bigger.
5. Keep your arms away from your body
Arms are a trouble spot for many TG girls. Posing with your arms pressed against your body makes them look even bigger. Hold your arms away from your body for a slimming effect.

How to Look Shorter as girls

No matter how hard you try, you can't physically make yourself look shorter. However, you can change the way you dress, style hair, etc to create the impression of being shorter. Follow these tips below to dress and impress for your height.

Steps

  1. 1
    Consider pixie cut. It's cute and it'll work well with a slim face, but will also create the illusion. But remember, if you have a more wider face, you might want to avoid any short hair styles.



  1. 2
    Flick layered hair. If you have layered hair, try flicking it out at the ends. It works really well and suits any face. It also can be done with any length. Beware though - it may make you look slightly boyish so you might want to make it look more feminine by adding a headband with a bow or clips.
  2. 3
    Straighten your hair or style it with waves. If you're not keen on cutting off your lovely locks, straighten it or make it wavy. Curls do look good, but only if you have the right hair colour - blondes and redheads look best with them.
  3. 4
    Wear baggy pants. Baggy jeans are the best type of jeans to go with. They create the impression of shorter legs, which is good.
  4. 5
    Try and choose coats or cardigans that come down to your knees. It's a cute and stylish look. Make sure they're light and breezy though, as bulky stuff looks and feels horrible.
  5. 6
    Wear flats. High heels are a no-no. If people are just looking at feet, of course they'll think you're shorter if you wear high heels. Height wise, wearing heels is just like walking around on your tip toes! Keep to flat shoes, as you don't want to be several inches taller than you already are.
I’ll talk about hands and feet next week. For now, here are 5 ways to reduce height and look shorter:
talldressing
  • DO choose full skirts and dresses to draw the eye out. (More width = less height.)
  • DON’T wear super tight clothes. (Less width = more height.)
  • DO wear a different color top and bottom to visually break up your figure.
  • DON’T wear monochromatic outfits since this makes you look even taller.
  • DO wear a contrasting belt to interrupt the eye from going straight up and down.
Yes, it’s true you might be taller than the average woman. But don’t forget about the sexy tall women out there who are revered for their long legs and height! These lovely ladies are all 6 feet tall or taller:
tallceleb1
tallceleb2

Tips

  • Don't be super self conscious - we're all born different, and there are many other people in your situation.
  • If you are really depressed over your height, try modeling. It could really make you feel more confident if you knew your height was being appreciated.
  • Check out the latest fashion magazines and look at what all the tall models are wearing.

Top 5 Pantyhose Rules for Crossdressers


What could be more feminine than a pair of silky smooth pantyhose?
I get a ton of questions about this topic, so let’s talk PANTYHOSE.
As you’ve probably noticed, not many genetic women wear pantyhose these days. But that doesn’t mean YOU can’t wear them … It’s all about choosing hose that make you look sexy and stylish – not like you stepped out of a time warp from the 80’s.
Follow these 5 pantyhose rules and I guarantee you won’t go wrong:
1. Only wear nude or black pantyhose.

Stick to the basics when it comes to hosiery. Only wear nude or black pantyhose. (Colored tights are a different story. See #5.)
For black hose, only wear jet black – not gray-black or brown-black.
2. Go for sheer nude hose that match your skin tone.
The #1 rule for nude hose is to match your skin tone as closely as possible. Don’t even think about “suntan” pantyhose unless that’s your actual skin tone! (Come on, who tans their legs only?)
The #2 rule is to buy the sheerest hose you can find. Nude hose should be like the foundation you wear on your face: invisible, but enhancing.
High-end hose brands like Donna Karan and Calvin Klein offer lots of nude shades to choose from so you should be able to find a perfect match in a beautiful, sheer tone.
3. Wear the best quality hose you can afford.
Most TG girls have great legs, so it pays to show them off with good pantyhose. There’s a big difference between drug store brands and department store brands. High quality hose give your legs a smooth, polished sheen.
4. Coordinate your hose to your shoes.
Wear black hose with black shoes for the most streamlined look. Wear nude hose with brown, metallic, or colored shoes.
And remember – NO pantyhose with open toe shoes!
5. Try tights.
tights
Tights are a great alternative to pantyhose – especially when it’s cold out. (A P.S. to the U.K. ladies who call pantyhose and tights the same thing: In the U.S. tights are made of thicker material.)
The pantyhose rules DON’T apply to tights, so experiment with different colors, styles, and textures. Funky tights can totally make an outfit!
By the way, did you know that clothes are the FIRST thing people see before they make a first impression? That’s why it pays to get this right! Check out The Ultimate En Femme Fashion Guideto discover the essential fashion rules for TG girls and transform your feminine image. Click here to learn more.
Now, let’s continue the pantyhose conversation! What kind of pantyhose and/or tights do you like to wear? What are your favorite brands? What tips and tricks have you discovered?

Ten Crossdress Voice tips


1. Watch Out for Dryness.


Dry climates, excessive talking, poor intake of water or clear liquids, and too much caffeine (to name a few) will dry out the throat and vocal folds. When the vocal folds become dry, they become stiffer, which makes it much harder to control your pitch. You may experience more pitch and voice breaks when your dehydrated. Depending on body size and the climate where you live, most transgender women should consume between two and four liters of water daily. Remember the saying, "pee pale."

2. Get Your Beauty Rest.

Poor sleep is near the top of the list of problems that have a negative impact on the voice. Inadequate sleep results in physical fatigue causing a loss of mental focus on your voice techniques. Common remedies include the use of ear plugs, eye shades and room darkening window coverings. Also avoid caffeine, sugar, and junk food. Practice meditative or breathing relaxation techniques on a regular basis and go to bed when you're tired, don't resist sleep.


3. Avoid Your Smoking and Use of Alcohol, Drugs and Mairjuana.

Alcohol and most recreational drugs (i.e., cocaine) have a significant drying and irritating effect on the vocal folds. Marijuana and cigarette smoke are highly irritating to the delicate issues (mucosa) of the vocal folds. The heat and dry smoke "burn" the vocal mucosa causing redness, swelling (in some cases) and poor vibration.

4. Avoid Throat Clearing.

The vocal folds make contact (vibrate) every time you make a sound. When you clear your throat, the vocal folds "slap" together, which, if done excessively, will irritate your vocal folds. Sip water instead of clearing your throat. Keep a water bottle (near room temperature) with you at all times. If you experience excessive mucous and feel it's impossible to avoid clearing your throat, contact your doctor-there may be medical problems underlying the excessive mucous production.

5. Do You Suffer From Acid Reflux?


Gastroesphageal reflux is a medical problem that requires diagnosis and treatment by your physician. Symptoms of gastric reflux are not always consistent with heart-burn. If you experience excessive mucous, a bitter taste in your mouth, a rough "morning" voice, or frequent belching, you may have acid reflux. Contact your doctor. Acid is a problem for the transgender woman's voice because the chronic irritation to the vocal folds from stomach acid will make it very difficult for you to have a "beautiful" feminine voice.

6. AVoid Excessive Loud Talking.

When environmental background noise is high, when we're talking on the telephone, or in the car, there is a natural phenomenon to push the voice (called the Lombard Effect). This vocal strain can create vocal fold irritation and leave you with a rough, husky voice. The solution is to learn techniques for controlling airflow and reducing tension in the neck when you speak in noise.

7. Breathe Right for a Better Voice.

The single best technique you can learn for your voice is abdominal/diaphragmatic breathing. There are many ways to learn these techniques. Learn to speak from your diaphragm.

8. That Darn Telephone.

"Yes, sir," may be two of the most annoying words when you're speaking to someone on the telephone. The answer to this problem is to warm-up your voice and "tune" your pitch before you make calls. Use an upward inflection when you speak. Avoid speaking in a whisper.

9. When You're Sick (with a cold).

Acute laryngitis occurs when your sick with the flu or a bacterial infection. The "common cold" sometimes affect the voice, and when it does your pitch will drop significantly. Treat your cold, rest your voice, drink plenty of water and warm-up gently. When in doubt REST YOUR VOICE.

10. Medication.

Some medications (like tricyclic antidepressants and decongestants for treating allergies) have a drying effect. The solution is to speak with your doctor about your medications if you are experiencing excessive dryness that does not resolve by increasing your hydration.

How to Get Your Parents to Let You Wear Girls Clothes


If your a teen boy who likes to wear girls clothing or accessories (maybe both?) and have a hard time getting your parents to understand, read on and maybe this article can help.
  1. 1
    Understand what type of clothes interest you. It could be something simple like jeans or makeup. In that case, it may be easier to explain. If you want to get the more feminine look or maybe full on cross-dress, be prepared for a loooong talk with your parents.
  2. 2
    Get to know your parents feelings on the subject. It may not be wise to ask spontaneously, "Mom, how do you think I look in these platform pumps?". Next time you see a man with androgynous clothing or in drag, simply ask, "What do you think about his outfit?" If they want to know why you asked just tell them you were simply wondering. Keep in mind some people are more open to boys with an androgynous outfit than a transvestite or a trans-gender person.


  1. 3
    After you fully understand how they feel about the subject, remember to always keep in mind how they feel. Approach them calmly. It might be best to treat the matter as if you were simply stating you're personal style to them in a non-pressuring way. Something like, "You know, I kinda like Bill Kaulitz and Patrick Wolf's clothes. I'm thinking about wearing something similar." If you want to look like a real girl, it may be to much of a touchy subject to handle so lightly. Be honest and let your parents know how important it is to you. Let them know that you respect their emotions, and would never try to dress a certain way for the sake of conflict and disrespect. Tell them you are open to discussing a compromise that pleases you both (jeans for school, dresses for weekends?).
  2. 4
    Apply makeup sparingly at first. A little foundation and concealer goes a long way. Even if you don't feel like wearing a lot of makeup, a good foundation can help hide acne and blemishes. M.A.C. works great on most skin tones. Try using a very neutral eyeshadow at first. Brown, copper, beige and a soft gray can look so natural and make any boy's eyes look beautiful. Sheer lip gloss is a boy's best friend! That's 'cause if you make a mistake it can be so easily corrected and sometimes not even noticeable!
  3. 5
    If you want the more unisex appearance buy men's jeans that are styled and cut like women's. Look for a tight fit around the butt, thigh and hips. If you really want women's pants be prepared to walk up to the sales counter, ladies attire in hand, and ask for a dressing room. Find your size first! Don't grab the first pair you see, hit the check-out and run. T- shirts look best if they fit snuggly. Cut the tags that may indicate what gender they're for. Chances are your mom(s)and/or dad(s) wont be immediately alarmed by you're new wardrobe.
  4. 6
    If you want to dress just like a girl and without alarming anyone, make sure you have a full understanding with your folks on your tastes. Keep in mind any compromise you may have already made and from time to time ask them their opinion. It makes them feel that you value their feelings.

Crossdressers Wig usuage tips


Did you look like a cyclone warning the first time you tried to do your hair? Of all the mysterious things about womanhood, the secret to a good hair style is perhaps the most elusive for crossdressers. Many of us enjoy long hair just once a month, and often without the nurturing guidance young girls get while growing up.
If you wash your hair twice a week you’re already above average for a guy. Never mind conditioners, blow drying, styling gels, mousse and a bag full of other hair essentials. So where does the confused crossdresser get started?

Find Your Crossdressing Hair Style


The first thing to decide is whether you’ll be wearing a wig or styling your own hair. For some, genes have already made the choice for them. Some things to consider:

ADVANTAGES OF WEARING A WIG WHILE CROSSDRESSING

If you opt for a wig you’ll find three wonderful things. Firstly, your hair can be as long as you want right away without waiting months and years for it to grow. Wigs are also better for those who crossdress part time, and need to be fully male the rest of the time (dress codes at work, for example).  The final advantage to wearing a wig is variation – you can have a blonde bob one day, and long brunette curls the next day.

ADVANTAGES OF CROSSDRESSING WITH YOUR OWN HAIR

For the last few months I’ve been growing out my hair – I’m recovering from my wig phase :) . Going natural has it’s own advantages. Firstly, there’s no need to worry about your hair flying off. Getting your hair styled in a salon is tremendous fun – my trips to the salon count among my favorite few hours in the month. If you’re sensitive to the heat your own hair is much cooler than wearing a wig.
For this post I’ll provide a few crossdresser hair tips for those going natural. Look here for more information about how to wear a wig.

Crossdresser Hair Tips

Wash your hair a few times a week with a high quality shampoo. Many of the grocery store brands will leave your hair oily, or strip off too much oil. Personally, I use Nioxin, which you can find at Costco, in your favorite salon or online. Try not to wash too often, otherwise you’ll deprive your hair of natural oils.
Condition your hair every time you shampoo. 2 in 1 hair products are faster to use, but less gentle on your hair. Again use a high quality salon brand like Nioxin, their conditioner is the best I’ve ever used. It has a light mint scent and causes your scalp to tingle all over while conditioning. It’s also okay to use conditioner when you haven’t washed your hair.
Condition the ends of your hair. Don’t pour all the conditioner on your scalp, that will leave your hair heavy and give you the ‘drowned rat’ look. Definitely not sexy! Use most of the conditioner on the ends of your hair, which is most susceptible to split ends and drying out.
Don’t brush your hair when it’s wet. That tugging sensation you feel as you try to brush out your knots is hair being removed from your head. Pulling out your hair is not a good look.
We’ll leave the styling tips for a future post. If you have a crossdresser hair care tip you’d like to share, please leave a comment below and let the other ladies know what has worked for you.

Very Important Killer Crossdressing Makeup Tips


When you are just learning how to cross dress, the idea of sitting down at a makeup counter in your local mall is intimidating. You don't need to out yourself to learn to cross dress in style. If your goal is to learn to pass as a woman, these makeup tips are a definite start.
Wash Your Face - You should always begin applying makeup with a clean face. Be gently, and don't rub your face. Use a good cleanser and rinse well to remove it all. Apply a toner to refresh your skin after washing.
Shave - Use a good quality razor and shave as close as possible. Be careful to avoid nicking your skin. Shave first in the direction of hair grown, lather again, and shave in the opposite direction. This will insure that you get the closest shave possible.


It is best to shave immediately following a hot shower so that the pores are open. If you do not plan on showering first, wrap a hot towel around your face for the best results. Rinse your face with cool water after shaving to close the pores back up. You should wait at least 5-10 minutes after shaving to apply makeup. You skin needs time to recover from the razor.
Consider using a kaolin clay mask in addition to cleansing and shaving. Clay masks will draw out the impurities in your skin and provide a smoother surface for applying makeup. A smooth surface is the most important aspect of good looking and easy to apply makeup.
Moisturize - Dry skin will soak up your foundation fast and ruin the effects of applying makeup. Make sure to use an oil free variety. Moisturizing will provide your foundation with a base. Make sure to wait until the moisturizer is soaked into your skin before moving on to applying foundation.  If you are not allergic to scent, consider a moisturizer with a nice, feminine smell.
Apply Foundation - If you are using a liquid foundation, apply it to your hands and spread it to your face that way. Make sure to smooth foundation out with a sponge without pulling or stretching your skin, Be extra careful and gentle around your eyes where the skin is very thin.
Set your foundation with a loose powder. On hot days, foundation will require periodic touch ups.   Concealer should go on after the foundation.  You may need a heavier foundation if your facial hair tends to grow quickly.

Safety tips for Crossdressers who go outing





It is 2:30 am, you have hugged your best girlfriend goodbye as she got into a cab to go home after a wonderfully fabulous night of clubbing. You walk down the street, only a couple of hundred feet to the parking lot where you left your car. As you fumble in your purse for your keys, a young adult steps out of the shadows. He looks like a yard ape.


"Well, look what we got here; a ** f.a.g."

Three more of his friends now join him. It is one against four, you are in a short skirt, four inch heels and all you have is your purse and maybe some pepper spray; that is if you can find it under your makeup in the bag.


When you wake up in the hospital you dont remember anything from the time you saw your friend get into the cab. The doctors tell you that you have a skull fracture, severe concussion, three broken ribs, a fractured arm and pelvis. You dont know if you will keep the sight in your eye because the bandages are still on it.



The cops could care less. Fill out a report and maybe they will get to it someday.

Now your wife comes in and while she is concerned, she is mad as hell because she didn't know anything about your little secret life until they called her from the hospital then handed her your clothes in a bag.

Never happen to you? Think again. It did happen and she did lose her eyesight.

No genetic girl would ever walk the streets alone at night for any reason and into a secluded parking lot? Not a chance in hell. But you aren't a genetic girl and can hold your own right? Yeah right.

Safety extends beyond this type of scenario though.
Consider the t-girl who has found someone she really likes and he knows she is in the process of transitioning but that is okay with him. They engage in sex but she doesn't know he is HIV positive.

How about the CD or t-girl coming out of the mall at closing and is swarmed by a group of teenage girls who have been watching her?

Okay you are careful, none of that could happen to you. So how about you get pulled over by the local constabulary, and the cop doesn't like you so he arrests you just because he can, and you end up in a cell with Bubba. Think it cant happen? Maybe it is with the hookers they rousted that night and you know they don't like you.

So those are extremes right?

Maybe you are sitting in an outdoor cafe with your wife and some yokel on the street feels duty bound to yell at you because you are an affront to his sensibilities.

You are standing in line at the bank and the guy behind you got a glimpse of your stockings and he wants to see more, or rather he wants everyone to see the freak.

You are sitting in Mickey D's watching your kids play in the ball crawl, just sipping at your coffee when a little boy comes up and asks you in a loud voice if you are a boy or a girl.

How about you meet your boss on the street and s/he is totally shocked. Next week you are laid off due to a shortage of work.

All of the above stories are true and there are thousands more, some of them I could relate are quite graphic but would only serve as shock value. The point being made here is that you cant always predict your personal safety and you could be in danger in some of the most unlikely of places. There is safety in numbers for sure but of course that isn't always possible. If you sense danger at any point for any reason, take steps to avoid it. Your safety and maybe even your life are worth a lot more than "stepping out" just because you can pass some of the time.

The following tips for CD's and women in general have been compiled by the Vancouver BC Police Department.
Bring a cell phone along if you have one. This way you can always call for help without having to look for a phone.
Stay alert, stand tall and be confident. Attackers are more likely to molest a person who appears uncertain or afraid.
Carry cash and valuables in a front or inside pocket to reduce the attraction for muggers. If you do need to carry a purse or bag of some sort, consider using a fanny pack.
Avoid carrying large sums of cash, but if you have to, be discreet about it.
If you wish to give someone spare change, never pull out your wallet or open your purse, take change out of your pocket instead.
Use well-lit streets, stay to the middle of the sidewalk and avoid alleyways.
Approach shadowy doorways, shrubbery, or anything that someone could hide behind with extra caution.
If you feel uneasy walking alone, find someone you know who will go out with you, or plan your route along busy streets so that there are always people around you.
If you think someone is following you, cross the street and turn to walk in the opposite direction to get a good look at them and then go find the nearest place to alert the authorities.
If you think a car is following you, immediately do a U turn, take note of the driver and license plate number, continue to walk in the opposite direction and call the authorities from the nearest possible location.

Carry a whistle or personal safety alarm so you can alert others if you are attacked.
Do not carry a weapon, even for self-defense. Most policemen killed in the line of duty are done so with their own weapon, even though they are trained in their use. If you are assaulted, introducing a weapon will only increase the severity of the attack, and increase the chance of severe injury to yourself. Carrying a weapon also creates the chance of you or someone else being accidentally hurt, for which you would be held responsible.
If you are verbally harassed do not respond keep walking and notify the nearest authority.

Using a Vehicle 
Keep all the doors locked even when you are inside the car.
Park in well lit areas.
Visually inspect the interior of the vehicle before you get in.
Have your keys ready before you get to the door, holding them between your thumb and forefinger in a ready position because:
Fumbling for your keys at your car makes you more vulnerable for an attack.
If you are attacked they can be used as a defensive tool.
Never hold your keys interlaced between your fingers, because keys are very brittle and will break if you hit someone while holding them in this manner.
If someone tries to get in your car while you’re driving, simply drive off. If you’re unable to do this, hold down on your horn to alert other people to your situation.

Using Transit 
Plan your route beforehand, and know the transit schedule.
Choose busy and visible stops.
At night, use well-lit stops and sit near the driver.
If the bus doesn't come and you are in a hurry, do not hitchhike – it is dangerous and in some cases illegal.

Running, Jogging or Rollerblading
Make sure you know your route.
Avoid wooded areas at night, and stay to well lit areas.
Try to run facing oncoming traffic and wear reflective clothing.
Personal stereos make it hard to be fully aware of your surroundings so try not to use them, especially at night.
When cycling or rollerblading, wear a helmet and reflective clothing, especially when you use the roadways

Using an ATM Machine 
If anything strikes you as suspicious use a different machine, trust your gut instinct.
After dark make sure to look for well lit machines .
Do not use a machine if there is someone hanging around.
Cover the keypad with one hand while typing in your code with the other, even by yourself. You may feel silly doing it but it is a good habit to start and there have been cases of people using binoculars or video cameras to capture pin numbers.
If no money comes out make sure to check the money slot for blockages, and notify the bank immediately. A popular scam recently has been for people to block the money slot with a piece of plastic and then return to collect the money after the customer leaves.
If using a drive-through bank machine make sure all of the car doors are locked.

At a club or at a party
Never let your drink out of your sight. If your drink does leave your sight get a new one.
Don't sample drinks from people, even friends or acquaintances.
Most victims of sexual assault know their attacker.
While "date rape" drugs have been gaining in popularity, alcohol still accounts for the majority of sexual assaults where the victim is unconscious during the attack. So if you are going to drink, do so responsibly, or have friends you trust there to watch over you

If you are stalked or attacked 
The most important thing is to tell the police, they are the best resource for stopping this problem, and the earlier you contact them the earlier they can help.
Keep a written record of everything. Tell friends, relatives, employers, co-workers or anyone else who witnesses an incident of your problem, so that they can keep a record as well.
Most importantly remember that it is not your fault, and you have nothing to be ashamed of. You will need help and emotional support in this difficult time, whether it comes from friends, relatives, religion or support groups.
If you are attacked, try to comply with the attacker’s wishes, if they want you to turn over cash and valuables, these can be replaced, credit cards can be cancelled and pin numbers can be changed.
Try to remain calm throughout the situation, becoming hysterical will only make the situation worse and put the attacker more on edge.
If you are being physically, or sexually assaulted, try to get attention. This is where a whistle or personal alarm comes in handy. If you have to scream for help, try yelling "fire" to get people’s attention as opposed to yelling "help".
Try to remember details about the person’s appearance: height, age, facial hair, eye colour, tattoos etc.

Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc). DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE. 

A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage: 
Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat.
If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times. And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed.
