Man, I Feel Like a Woman

Can you remember the first milestone or incident or rite of passage that made you feel like you were transitioning from adolescence to adulthood?

Was it the first time you shaved?...



Your first cocktail?...

Your Bar Mitzvah?...



Your first period?...

  6. The first time I realised I was losing my hair.

    Soon followed by the first time I realised I could trim my other hair.

    Not me for the Hair Hall of Fame.

  7. What is this "Adulthood" of which you speak???

    Unless you mean something like seeing your "Christmas Pussy" today in my mailbox as first milestone,or incident or a rite of passage,(though not the passage that I was quite expecting MJ) Then... No!

    You’re excused.

    After all, it was the sixties.

    BOXER: 2nd! (Hai Savannah)
    My first credit card.


    Yes, that was a thrill until I found out the bill wasn’t going to pay itself.

    And what is this thing called “interest?”

    Regarding sanitary towel man…

    I like to refer to that as a “period costume.”

    There’s a manscaping post of sorts coming up this week and I’m relying on you to put in your two cents worth.

    What is this “adulthood” I speak of?

    I’m an Adult Now pretty much sums it up.

    LX: Nope, still waiting.

    You and this guy.

  10. Ma chère, this is a tough question to answer. I'm just a 15 year old boy trapped in the body of a 45 yo man!

  12. my first pubes....I clipped them out and tied them with a ribbon and saved em...now that I'm 50 and baldin, wish I had them to transplant on my head!

    ReplyDelete
  13. So... I guess that I should start my own band in a post apocalyptic world somewhere... and become an adult?

    ReplyDelete
  14. The first time I stayed the night at my boyfriends house...an my mother knew about it. It was after high school.

    ReplyDelete
  15. The first time that I didn't get carded at a bar; I was about 30 at the time. It then turned into a rapid plunge into middle age.

    Isn’t that what Richard Simmons did?

    Canada, actually.

    Bring your parka.

    COREYJO: The first time I stayed the night at my boyfriends house...an my mother knew about it. It was after high school.

    By “after high school” do you mean the years FOLLOWING high school or was this like an after-school programme at the end of the school day?

    TB: The first time that I didn't get carded at a bar; I was about 30 at the time. It then turned into a rapid plunge into middle age.

    Never fear.

    We’ve secured a space for you at the “Villa of Queens” Old Homosexuals’ Haven retirement home.

  17. lol! The summer after gradutation. I barely slept because I was afraid of what mom would say when I went home the next day knowing she'd know what I was doing!

  18. We don't have costume parties because I don't want that showing up at my door.

    My firsts?

    My first real gay moment? At Five years old my parents showed me Judy Garland's house in Bel Air.

    My first drink? From a bottle, not a breast.

    My first shave? Face or pubic?

  20. The first time I drove alone in the car without an instructor telling me what to do. I got a bit distracted watching some topless men walk by, I ended up mounting the kerb, narrowly missing a utility pole.

  21. Oh god the pad costume!

    I guess the usual rite of passage for girls is when you get boobs/period.

    Mine was pretty regular.

  22. I have no idea what you're talking about.

    Now Boy is 18, our household has a responsible adult. The Cat is mildly disturbed that her alpha position may have shifted. I keep telling her things won't change much.

    Even though he keeps telling me to tidy my bedroom.

    As if SHE hadn’t done it a time or two!

    Face shave.

    We’ll discuss pubic shaving soon here on Infomaniac in a separate post.

    And did you ever get to see Judy in concert?

    I’ll have another round while you’re up, serving wench.

    NORMADESMOND: i'm transitioning as i type.

    Are the hormones helping?

    MITZI: The first time I drove alone in the car without an instructor telling me what to do. I got a bit distracted watching some topless men walk by, I ended up mounting the kerb, narrowly missing a utility pole.

    I misread “I ended up mounting the kerb” as “I ended up mounting the kebab.”

    What was regular?

    Your rites of passage or your period?
