Transvestite/Transsexuals - How to choose a wig
We all have problems choosing a hairstyle to suit us, and the wide
range of wigs available on the market often makes that choice even
more daunting. Most wig suppliers do not accept returns on wigs that
have been worn/used, making the choice of wig even more important.
How do you, as a TS or TV girl, decide what style will suit and feminize
your face? Wigs can dramatically change your appearance, face shape
and look. You should take your time getting to know your face shape
and choosing the right style for your face. By choosing the correct
wig to hide certain parts of your face you are able to draw the eye
to your more attractive features.
Choosing a Style
Face Framing or forward style wigs will go a long way to help you
achieve a more feminine look while being easy to care for and style.
Many crossdressers, trans people and transvestites may have a prominent
bones above the eye sockets or brow. To disguise this masculine feature,
it is best to go for a style with a fringe that covers the area and
draws the eye down toward the lower part of the face. Choose a wig
with more volume on the crown (as opposed a flat style) which will
balance out the size and width of your face.
Wider or square faces can also be altered in appearance by bringing
styles closer to the actual face and, as long as the ends are soft
the effect can be very dramatic and face framing hairstyle with soft
fringe and razor cut ends. A wig with whispy layers which frame the
face can mask many masculine features such as wide jaw line or prominent
brow.
Choosing a colour
Most TS/TV girls make the mistake of choosing a colour that they
like rather than what would suit their skin tone. For as natural a
look as possible to "pass", stick to as close to your natural
colour as possible. Going for an outrageous colour or an overly luxurious
or glamorous wig will only draw unwanted attention to yourself.
Have a search on the internet for girls who have similar colouring
and skin tone to you and see what colours suit them.
If you have naturally mid brown- dark brown/black eyes and eyebrows,
stick to darker wig colours with highlights or deep red colours.
If you have blonde to light brown natural hair colour and eyebrows,
stick to the lighter colours on the spectrum or possibly ginger colours.
Gone are the day of buying one wig for ?100+ (USD$150+) which has
to last you for a good few years. These days, realistic man-made fibres
such as kanekelon mean that great quality, modern and stylish wigs
can be yours for less than ?30 ($50). This means that you can change
your looks regularly to suit your mood!

The "Hollow Earth" assumption
The Hypothesis
First, let me explain something quite simply before I elaborate
on this "Hollow Earth Theory". If you are unaware of this
speculation that was presented to some of the world's leader in the
past (and in the present) – let me explain. There arewell-respected
scientists, mathematicians, doctors, and other professions related
to the subject that believes that our planet Earth is hollow.
Although, there are many different beliefs on how the Earth is actually
hollow, they all believe in the same philosophy; some believed in
the "Concave Hollow Earth Theory", in which humans live
in a sphere like shell but on the interior surface and that the universe
is in the center; some believed that the Earth has different levels,
each level containing an atmosphere and its own sun (it is believed
that the Earth and the universe as we know it may very well be one
of these levels); there are some that believed that there are caverns
beneath the surface of the Earth (accessible somewhere in Antarctica),
and that a possible species (or
many species) could actually be living below us. This is still believed
today by some. There are other beliefs as well as these, but these
beliefs are the most common.
Fiction turned Fact or Vice Versa?
Ever since ancient times, people believed that Earth was hollow.
In ancient Greece, it's where Hades was located, and the early Christians
believed that's where Lucifer was sent to
when he fell from Heaven – they call it Hell. In Jewish scriptures,
Sheol is located beneath the Earth. In the Jewish belief, when you
are dead and buried, your soul enters Sheol. No matter what moral
choices you made while alive, your soul awaits in total darkness until
the "resurrection" (judgment day). Some others, who follow
the Jewish belief, believe that while waiting in Sheol, you could
be in total comfort or being ruthlessly tormented while waiting for
the "coming of the savior".
Books were soon written about the Earth being hollow (fiction and
non-fiction), tales of adventure about explorers seeking out or stumbling
upon an opening in the Earth's crust, or
actual, true predictions that there actually is a world within this
world.
In 1906, William Reed openly admitted that he supported the idea
of a hollow Earth and wrote the book Phantom of the Poles but with
no interior suns or separate levels.
Another book written in 1913, by Marshall Gardner was about how
he believed prehistoric species lived beneath the Earth's surface.
In 1920, he wrote an expanded edition based on the same principals
but placed an interior sun in the hollow Earth.
Eventually, UFO enthusiasts who also believed in "The Hollow
Earth Theory" came to the presumption that UFOs (sometimes known
as USOs – "unidentified submerged objects") reside
in these underground caverns. When the US dropped an atomic bomb on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, these inhabitants emerged from these hidden
societies in an act of self-defense because they were concerned of
radioactive material flowing into the world's interior where they
dwell.
AdChoices
Soon, science fiction writers took the idea of a hollow Earth and
wrote in their pulp magazines stories of lost world's and unnatural
beings. A lot of authors took the idea of H.G.
Wells' book, The Time Machine and his underworld creatures, the Morlocks
and put their own twist in their fictional stories. Wells wrote that
book in 1895, but it's not sure if he believed in a hollow Earth.
Allegedly, in 1964, Dr. Walter Siegmiester wrote the book The Hollow
Earth under the pseudonym Dr. Raymond Bernard. He did this because
he firmly believed in a hollow Earth, but didn't want to be discredited
or ridiculed for his beliefs. This was revealed in an article written
by Martin Gardner but not until the book Subterranean Worlds: 100,000
years of dragons, dwarves, the dead, lost races and UFOs from inside
the Earth by Walter Kafton-Minkel and published in 1989. It was then
that the connection between Bernard and Siegmiester became well known.
Adolf Hitler
It is true that Hitler believed in some theory of the earth being
hollow, it was unsure whether he believed in one theory or in all
of them. But he made several attempts in trying to discover some proof
by sending a Nazi admiral by the name of Donitz to Antarctica in a
submarine.
Places like Tibet, Peru, and the North Pole, were believed to have
openings to the hollow Earth and Hitler sent researchers to investigate.
It is believed that Hitler had sent spies into
the United States to search Mount Shasta in California for a possible
entrance.
Hitler is also believed, according to German writers Peter Bender
and Fritz Braun, to have sent an expedition out to a certain point
on the planet where it was believed that if the Nazis pointed infrared
telescopes straight into the air they would be able to spy on the
British fleets and have a strategic advantage, but this wasn't documented
and can't be proven. This would have proven, however, that Hitler
believed in a hollow Earth and in the "concave" Hollow Earth
Theory.
The United States
Now you know that the United States has had their say in this "Hollow
Earth Theory", and our own presidents either believed in it –
or they didn't. Presidents like Jimmy Carter and Harry Truman are
believed to have made comments about the Earth being possibly hollow,
even President John Quincy Adams believed in a possible hollow Earth
and was going to send a loyal follower on an expedition, by the name
of James McBride. But President Adams left office before this could
occur. Andrew Jackson was the next President of the United States
and he put a stop to the campaign. It was rumored that President Jackson
was the only president to have believed that the Earth was flat. This
rumor could have been started from him personally terminating the
hollow Earth excursion; started by his defeated opponent's followers.

A Hindu Temple in a 400 Million Year Old Cave
The actual geographical structure of the Batu Caves in Malaysia is
nothing to rave about, but its cultural significance lies in its Hindu
Temple, which illustrates the sizeable contribution of the Indian
community to the cultural traditions of Malaya. The caves are located
about 12 km north of Kuala Lumpur in Gombak District. The oldest shrine
is about 113 years old and sees about 1.5 million pilgrims annually,
the temple is known as the most visited Hindu monument outside India.
The limestone caves are said to be over 400 million years old and
is a system that encompasses about three main caves. The largest cave
which is known as the Cathedral Cave has a ceiling which is about
100 meters high, this cave also holds a few ornate Hindu sculptures.
It is believed that these temples were first inhabited by the indigenous
Besisi and the caves were later discovered by an Indian trader called
Pillai who also founded the Sri Mariamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur.
It is said that Pillai installed a sculpture of Sri Subramaniam Swami
inside the cave which led to the formation of the Hindu temple dedicated
to Lord Muruga.
Each an important Hindu festival known as Thaipusam is celebrated
here during mid January. The festival is a celebration of the Hindu
mythology where Lord Siva danced with his consort Uma and also signifies
the movement of the moon through the star sign Cancer. The annual
festival draws in millions of Hindu devotees from places as far away
as Australia, India and Singapore.
The festival begins as a procession in the early hours of morning
in Kuala Lumpur and ends at the Batu Caves, the devotees carry containers
filled with milk and floral decorations known as Kavadi as offerings
to the Lord Muruga. Devotees usually stop for a purifying bath at
the Rocky River and resume their journey.
For tourists the Batu caves offer the dual attraction of being inhabited
by the indigenous Besisi and being the home of Malaysia's most important
Hindu temple. The walkway up to the temple also offers scenic views
of the surrounding lush rainforest and on clear days it is even possible
to see beyond Kuala Lumpur's suburbs towards the Bay.
Despite being located away from Kuala Lumpur's city it is advisable
for travelers to base themselves in a city hotel. A discount hotel
in Kuala Lumpur that offers great access to the transportation network
and shopping districts is Citrus Hotel Kuala Lumpur.
