daughterofwily answered Thursday July 28 2005, 2:19 pm: Well, I'm totally going to get flamed for this, but don't try to change yourself... And if you do, make sure you're changing for you, and not anyone else.
I understand what it's like to be a tom boy. I'm a total gamer reject, and my favorite sport is football. I was extremely unpopular. I often tried to change myself, to be more girly, to be more likeable, to be more mainstream. While I did enjoy having girly moments, it was a futile battle and I eventually realized that I like myself the way I am.
However, If you want to make a foray into a more girly persona... start on the inside and work your way out. Don't go buying cute clothes or acting all Princess Peach like many of the other posters are advising. Real feminimity is inside. Start there.
What's your bathing regimine? Do you use the same old soap and water in the shower? If you do, switch to scented shower gels and matching moisturizers. Try using facial masques once or twice a week... Focus on taking care of your hair. I don't mean like styling it. I mean like taking care of it. Get it trimmed regularly for split ends. Avoid chemical or heat styling. Experiment with different styling techniques to see what makes your hair feel the softest. Don't focus on looking feminine... Focus on feeling feminine, and feeling healthy.
After that... Then you might wnat to experiment with clothes. Don't go overboard! You can dress girly and sporty all at once! Just look for things that have a more feminine cut. Don't wear anything shorter or tighter or lower than you're comfortable with, but try to pick clothes that flatter your figure. Don't be afraid of color. Don't obliterate your old style--adapt it to be more confident and a better reflection of all of you, rather than just your tomboy side.
Makeup is the last thing you want to mess with, but certainly an option if you're not satisfied with the girliness. Just remember that it's mostly bad for your skin, and that sort of counteracts the inner girly health thing. Good luck! [ daughterofwily's advice column | Ask daughterofwily A Question ]

Maybe you could get a couple skirts and cute tops that are more girly than your usual outfit. I don't know, watch that episode of Made where Sam gets made into a girly girl. Good luck!
