2008
As you can see, things are winding down for this site. I have been busy working on another site to replace it. To answer all your questions as to the why's what's and where, please see the email at the end of this page Emails 2007. Thank you! New site: http://transendence.com/
2007
7/4/ New Photo Album 2007 with all the pictures I have now up thru 6/24, including web cam captures! Removed many old photos, sorry....moved some links from index page to BIO page as well. Completely updated Photo Album 2006; this is now complete! Check the WHOLE page as I added photos throughout! I will move some to a sub album format as time allows like some others. Like-wise Index/Home page was updated.
2006
10/13 Added some new 2006- pre-op pictures taken before I left for my trip that never got posted but in doing so it made the page way to slow to load for dial-up users so I broke down the page into smaller chunks and formatted it the way I use to to. I am going to be adding a lot of pictures from my trip-hundreds- so stay tuned for that. Lots of stories to tell as well and many updates in many forms to come.
10/10/ I'm back from Thailand! While there I had a most fantastic experience! Actually the fairy tale started before I even left as I was interviewed for three hours as part of a documentary being made for a film association I am board member of and then told after my story as a TS was compelling enough that they wanted to do a story on that as well when they finished! Anyway,
On the Wednesday of the second week following my surgery, I gave a makeup seminar and a complete makeover to the clients of the clinic for the surgeries I had August 18, 2006. The next day I was taken to the resort area of Thailand, Pattaya where I was a model for an ad to appear in tourist magazines about the opening of a new restaurant of the wife of the surgeon who did my surgeries. She was dressed in Thai traditional dress, as the ad was meant to also bring together Thai and western cultures. This ad will also play on local TV. Then on that Friday, September 9th , I was interviewed by the Washington Post, doing a report for their reader’s state-side about why clients come to Thailand for their surgeries, particularly SRS (surgical Reassignment Surgery). For an interview that was supposed to take 20 minutes, my interview lasted for over an hour!
This web site has been grown to the point that is has out-grown it's old server and so while I am staying with my hosting company, I am going to a new server with more room with new features, meaning some downtime while I set things up again but hopefully it wont take too long. Of course I am also dealing with jet lag, being tired as my body heals, trying to fit in dilation twice a day and many other changes as well all at the same time, so please bear with me. Thank you!
6/6/2006: My surgery date is set for August 18, 2006! I'm going to have some face work done: Brow boss shaving, scalp advancement and a trachea shave plus a one-stage genital reassignment surgery all in one operation. I need more money! Please if you can spare any at all, I am a little short of what I need, any at all would help out, thank you!
Please help this male to female transsexual who always felt had the heart and soul of a woman. I am asking for monetary assistance to help fulfill my life-long dream by having Gender Reassignment surgery (SRS). Once completed, this will help me feel and achieve the level of womanhood I so desire. More details with my surgeon's clinic and exactly what I am having done here.
2006
7/14 New articles posted in Transsexual Advice, a new slideshow on Dr. Suporn's MtF SRS technique.
7/11 All Pictures now are published! I have made the Newsletters available for direct download with a suggested donation of $1.50 (US). This means you may read the newsletters online, download them to your hard drive, print a copy or even share with a friend, Significant Other or support group. If you would like to donate, I would like that very much, of course.
7/9/2006 New pictures upload underway, starting with newest first, filling in with some from previous months in the new few days. Posted link to electronic version of Dr. Benjamin's Book on Transsexual Advice. Soon will be making Transcend newsletter available download free to download.
6/19/2006 Completed two newsletters simultaneously-June and July under a new name/moniker "Transcend", available now for download. Completed transaction for surgery by wiring balance for surgeries (upper face, neck/Adams Apple and SRS/Genital Reassignment) to the clinic in Thailand. On Friday, the 16th, I had already made the airline reservations and hotel reservations for the stop-overs for those flights both coming and going (Washington D.C.).
6/8/2006 Added a new page "Costs Involved with Surgery" so anyone can see what is involved to have SRS and FFS done and why I need the money and where it is being spent exactly. I am no longer printing the Newsletter for the local support group I was informed last night so have reduced the price in half (coming soon), no longer concerned trying to cut off their membership. Price is now only $1.50 each issue but still 10 pages full of news and coverage for the whole TG community. While on the subject, my plan is to write and publish three complete issues before I take my trip. That is June, July and August and maybe even September, if I can. The themes are already decided and most of the research is already done for all three. I may release them on the same schedule as now (which is the 2nd or 3rd Sunday, every month, I haven't decided yet ) but all will be written here before I go.
6/7/2006 Many navigational changes throughout, major changes in that area and also gave Newsletters it's own page/section, keeping it in two places for now, uploaded a new pic of my mom on the Bio page that has been cleaned of my dad, added a dialogue "Suporn Prices & Services" that I will keep updated between the clinic and and myself where I am having my SRS (genital reassignment) and Facial surgeries done so that I can keep you up to date on what is being done and why I need your assistance in dollars so badly for my dream to come true. Surgery at this point is only 71 days away away and they want payment in full 60 days before. I don't have it all, so I beg for your donations. I have received nothing to this point from anyone one.
5/14/2006 May 2006 Newsletter uploaded with "Finding Your Feminine Voice", the theme.
5/5/2006 Whole new section! Calories In Foods. Accessed from Health department on Help page.
5/3/2006 New Emails, articles on Transsexual Advice page, pic at top of this page.
4/16 Minor reorganization of Help page and reformatting of the GLBT Resources page. Added new page called The Female Orgasm which I hope to add much more to.
4/7 Made it easier for you to find things and navigate the site from the first page! Making a plea for donations to make my SRS a reality. It will take at last $20,000 to have Genital Reassignment and I would also like to have a trachea shave, forehead/brow bone work and a chin narrowing all done at the same time. I will of course take any amount of donation from anyone. Almost begging, I am so wanting to get this done; I am soooo ready. Thank you all so very much!
Thanks for all the really great compliments I have been receiving on the pics and the web site, They are all very much appreciated!
3/31/2006 Loads of New Pix! All from 2006....well some from 12/31/2005. Some new Emails too!
3/24/25/27 Many new links added and finally updated the pictures to my main page! Updated the Drag Show page, added my Transition Log to my Transition Diary, both works in progress. I still add new articles to Transsexual Advice, new Emails, as well as new information to Help but I also wanted to alert you to two new upcoming films. One called "Screaming Queens" that recalls the riot that took place at San Francisco's "Gene Compton's Cafeteria" three years before the famous Stonewall Inn Riot in New York in 1966 and the other, a documentary called "Cruel and Unusual" about Transsexual inmates being forced into uncompromising places and therefore positions within the prison system.
Also, if I may, I am quite proud of this web site and how it is doing. It is number one in it's category and among similar sites. It is in the top 92,000 of all Internet sites and has over 1000 links pointing to it and it's link popularity is over 92,000! Having said that, this site continues to function without advertising, though I always appreciate your donations. Thank you!
3/11 Great article on coming out to SO's He, She, We, They, Partners of Cross Dressers (in Help section)! New links, new newsletter-"Role Models" theme. New Web Site Usage Agreement.
2/14 Email Poll added to bottom of Emails 2006 page, Added a new, just completed Newsletter about SO's and Cross-Dressers (Mostly) with support for MtF/FtM; It's a first in a series which will include others focusing on the SO/TS, SO/Children, etc, the latter due in April.
2/8 Emails 2006 continue to be posted and responded to and the new Surgery Pix section continues to grow with lots of new, never before seen pictures-not just of the actual before and after surgery shots and their effects but many of past picture series that were left out for one reason or another and now have a home. Take a look, there are quite a few surprises here you will like! I have also updated the Bio just a tad and added a link to the Transition Diary from it that adds quite a bit more information, as does the About section.
2/5 Bio and Transition page updates, an article posted to Womanhood and pictures finally begun to be uploaded about my surgery to a new section called Surgery Pix.
1/24, 27,29 Favorites added to, Dear Jenelle updated and Emails 2006 added. Transition Diary, Jenelle's Beat added and the announcement of National Consultation on CHRA Trans Protection added. Transition Diary updated.
1/12 Adding links and continuing to fix broken links on both this site, mainly in the Help section and the sister site CincyFilms.com, on the Beauty Tips page; I don't use a "What's New" log on that site, or most of any of my other sites for that matter. BTW, I have added the pictures of my band to the Dirty River site for those interested, besides those of just me that are on this site from the August, 2005 benefit we played. Have been adding material to the Womanhood page and updating the Makeup section extensively. Added Holiday Drinks to Recipes page. Posted two new newsletters, November's on Makeup/Holiday Drinks and December's on Bra's and Lingerie. They can be downloaded in PDF format from the Inside Guide page, free. Ten pages long and crammed full of information in full color brought to you monthly! Ideas are welcome. Currently working on Transitions (Reader Stories) and next month (Feb, an SO issue. Added links to Diet page and Reviews was cleaned up.
2005
12/30 Several updates: Found several broken links on the Help section/page that I fixed. You should tell me these things people as someone brought to my attention some drag shows in the Phoenix area that needed to be updated. I added a story in the Womanhood section about women in the workplace and still find myself wanting to do a lot of things that I don't have time to do! Maybe next year, lol; Happy New Year everyone!!
12/27 Posted two new Newsletters-November and December in PDF format/color for your enjoyment. The November issue covers makeup and holiday drink recipes while the December issue features bras and lingerie. These are 10 pages each and are chock full of a lot of useful information. Have been getting ready for the coming year and rolling the years over to 2006 for all of my web sites. Updated Bio page, particularly the bottom area pertaining to the film info and web site section.
11/24 New Pictures added, Emails 2005 updated. Poll added at end about how to treat certain emails, please take.
11/19 New links on Transsexual Advice and a new Recipe sent in posted.
10/21/22 Added lots of new pictures finally, from June thru October so you are now completely caught up! The reason I hadn't done so until now is because I have a slow right click/menu problem and it takes a full minute and many times two, just to copy a single picture from my drive to the HTML editor, obviously a painstaking process which I usually don't have the time for! (10/22 note: down to 20-30 seconds now but I am still probably looking at a re-install of the OS soon, eck!)) I am trying everything to fix this, Microsoft forums have given me excellent clues. I have given you some updates and updated some text, added a newsletter and more articles are on the way.
6/10 Added text links in new introduction to site, added Google Search and improved Personals with picture upload capability and increased choices.
6/2-3 Continued improvements to site and pages, new page for Visitor's Poetry. Many new articles about the transsexual experience on the Transsexual Advice page, a few on the GLBT support, TG Politics pages and links added to many sites.
5/31 Updated Inside Guide page, moved things from an old page to BIO, 2004, 2005 photo pages and others, new emails answered/posted, tweaked poll form properties and questions, updated donation button.
5/26 MAJOR picture upload! Over 110 NEW 2004 photos uploaded and 35 new 2005 pix, most never before seen on this web site. The October 5th, 2004 series represent my first "Bordello" shots since 1998(!) posing in a bra. The point of these were to be before and after shots (liposuction). Please go to new poll and answer how you prefer the photo album to work. Thank you!
5/24 Emails 2005 up to date, next comes moving some to Dear Jenelle. Added new pages to sections About, Emails 2000, GLBT Support, Transsexual Advice, Womanhood, Help, Out in Public, Dear Jenelle, Song Lyrics, and new links for Favorites (links). Also updated original GeoCities home page/web site.
5/23 2005 Emails continue to be replied to and posted to this web site. Have added 2005 web stats to the About section, courtesy Alexa and a perspective on womanhood.
5/21 Started getting caught up with emails. Many more to come and many moved to another section, Dear Jenelle.
5/20 Revamped front/Home page with navigation buttons! More updates and new additions to come soon! Separated out the latest personal news and pictures along other re-working to make site load much faster; making things also easier to find.
5/11/05 Major housecleaning: added a few pix (April 2005) to main/index page and took several away from various pages, cleaned up copyright issues and other details.
10/22 A derivative or extension of this site is Beautiful Wonderful Women, a community that is clean but NOT STUFFY! Beauty defined as how women not necessarily see themselves but feel about themselves and women who are all great, in general. This could mean fashion, as in dresses or lingerie, make up, or even about fantasies and it can be about the flesh, female curves and of the spirit or sexy ways! Women's beauty in every way!
8/10 Pix added with a new page from June and newer, to reduce download time. Split 2003 picture page with a second page as well.
7/22 Pix added.
7/20 Some pictures on Boudoir page removed by request of a sponsor. They showed too much. Apparently nipples, even of the fake silicone kind, are a no no. Uh oh.
7/15 I have scheduled some face feminization surgeries. Each one by itself, relatively minor but together, will add up to a more feminine face. This is what I’m having done: A little “tweaking” around my eyes (lids), my nose smoothed on top, slightly narrowed, and cheek implants.
These will aide me passing as a woman, which is how I live and work. Diet (South Beach) and exercise will, along with the hormones through body fat re-distribution, take care of the waist which has shrunk by an inch in just 6 months, as my hips and buttocks have GROWN by the same amount and I am a cup and a half larger now than I was then (A to a B/C).
7/11 Posted new pix and "tweaked" the Bio page. In the last six months, I have lost one pound but gained two inches in my breasts, an inch on my hips and lost an inch in the waist from the hormones!
7/2 Nothing much. Updated some text and give you an update on my life/transition, both on the main home page. Also went over a couple of pages where errors were found and updated links or removed them from no longer existing web sites of the Listings and Awards page. Refined Privacy Policy.
6/14 Some tweaking of text, including updates of my personal life and how this site is doing, both on the main page and the Inside Guide. Added some stories to Womanhood and Politics sections, as well as a tip to Dear Jenelle and added another link to Favorites.
5/25 Pictures uploaded! Some in a bikini and others from a "Soiree" get-together with a few from the Vanity Club sorority. Included also are pix to show my newest hair style, color and the way I look. I am also now a quarter inch bigger than a "B" cup and still growing! I haven't used enhancing forms for a very long time. I am totally natural! Next up is a diet plan to get in better shape.
4/28 Some text changes/updates on Index, Inside guide, Help, and Links (including disclaimer). New letter in Dear Jenelle ("Tucking"). A new email posted to Womanhood emails, and new postings to Womanhood, Politics sections.
4/21 A few more links added. A new movie I am make up artist for, a video production I was in on from the beginning but had to drop out of, and an update on a cosmetic line I have been involved with for for many years, MAC.
4/14 Now a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant, a couple of new pix added. Links checked and cleaned up; a few added. Reworked BIO.
3/10 Updated Transgender FAQ page. Comments on how I was treated at a "help seminar". Decided if I was to be fem 24/7, I needed to lose the wigs; they were killing my own hair anyway. Plan is to have a woman's body and complete look by June (NO surgeries, I am a cross-dresser on hormones-I love women and do NOT want any kind of a relationship with a male)!
Female hormones were started on 9/3/2003, doubled the first week of January/2004 under a doctor's care and am now an "A" cup, growing a 1/4" a week, on average. I expect my body fat re-distribution to give me some hips and more feminine thighs. My face is softening, as expected.
1/2/2004 Update on my feelings of "what I am;" a cross-dresser on hormones! Read all the updates on home page. Updated the last of the pictures for the year 2003, 10 in all, whew(!), what a year (explained with update)!! That doesn't even include coming out to all my musician friends either, just a few months ago! (That's been fun! "You play better as a bitch!") LOL gee thanks! -I think....lol New feature for the new year! Newsletters!
12/24 New pix! Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
12/16 My divorce is final, pictures from Christmas party and of me playing drums-a first en femme! Another link.
7/24 Major update to my "BIO", first in a long while. The "New BIO" page has been assimilated into the original and much more information has been added; 'heavy' general editing and rework was also done. This web site now officially ranks in the top 675,000 of ALL internet sites on the web visited!! Inside Guide gets an update, Survey Results are finally linked, so now those who don't fill out a survey can read what others have to say! This is a very popular feature, especially with new visitors, BTW. Added a link to a band I manage where you can download samples from their CD and even see them perform live via video!
7/13 New Bio and updates! I am now changing my name legally, going to get electrolysis done and going to start taking hormones! I am also getting a career as Jenelle! New section-TG Politics! Many new articles added to Womanhood. New articles added to LGBT SUPPORT and Help. New links added to Favorites.
6/20 I have a new camera and a new hair style! Pix!
5/20 My last picture with my camera was taken 5/12/2003. The camera is now dead-no longer working at all! See the last pic on this page. Feel free to donate to the cause of deferring the cost of my new one! Please? Thank you!
4/7 New pix added to Photo album 2003 and started new Photo album for friends 2003.
3/15 More pix to photo page 2003. Updated Make Up page.
3/14-15 Changed Advice title to Make up which is really what it had become and in quick order changed my pix on home page partly to reflect St. Patrick's Day. At the request of someone who made a mistake, took TS survey results out early and posted them separately.
3/9 Added more pix to photo 2003 album for several days worth, including a lez kiss.
3/9 Added Friends gallery 2002 edition, a little faster than planned, as requested per survey response. Thanks Melissa! Corrected lost link 3/11
3/8 Early Shots added to photo in newest gallery format. A whole lotta shakin' going on.
3/5 Finally, the wait is over! The picture/Photo gallery is almost complete - so complete that I am able to post it now while I continue to work on additional features and other pictures and so on. This represents the biggest change to the site since the beginning, 5 years ago and with it, nearly doubles the number of pictures!
2/23 Pix from another snowy evening, this time a little closer to home. Articles added to Womanhood (Best Man) and Help (Brave new world) section.
2/22 And more pix! From Mardi Gras night of a drag show. Added "History of the Bra" article with permission rights granted to Womanhood section.
2/21/ More pix darlings! Look on Photo Page 2. Very HOT!
2/17/ Since last update, pictures have been added, Registration for updates has been fixed and Song lyrics area has been repaired, and added to.
1/28/2003: Some additions to Dear Jenelle, Womanhood, Help, Politics, Favorites and other stuff.
1/27/2003:
1/24/2003: Get instant feedback on Surveys! Once a survey is sent, it not only goes to me as an email but it now goes to a file where it can be shared immediately with others who visit this site. For that reason, consider whether you want your email or other private information exposed to the public.
1/23/2003 Major rewrite of
interface! All internal links are different and I
hope better, meaning you will be able to find more easily what is on the
site and won't look so cluttered to the eye. Remember, I never expected
this site to get so big or to attract so many visitors. I love that those
things happened but they have forced me out of the old interface and I
must find new ways of presenting material to you that is easy to find,
read and quick to download. I have kept the old structure in place as the
"Inside Guide" just like I have kept the
original background from my first design on the "Listings
and Awards" page today. Help, which is now a
gateway for CD's TS's, SO's, and just a wide variety of information for
coming out
to your S.O. and more has been split
from Advice finally which itself is now all about
make up both for males and females.
In two days I have rewritten the web site. I have also started work on getting images re-done, first the old ones and then come the new ones. I will back everything up, make a new album format and send everything up to the site for you to see. I do hope you enjoy! BTW, this all started by finding a fix for the counter, see below! Found the fix and just kept going....New pix added to Photo two page and counter broke again on main index page when site was published!
1/12/2003 Trying to the fix the main index page counter, if anyone has a clue as to what I did to break it in the last few days, please tell me. Updated the Links page and removed all dead links and added a of couple new ones. A new pic was added. I added a slew of pix to the Close Bra page which were part of a series of my first pictures dressed. I posed in front of a video camera then captured shots later with a Snappy.
1/5/2003 New pic to photo two page (12/15/2002), new articles to Womanhood and Transsexual pages.
12/31/2002 New pages-(Another) Size Charts, Advice on Electrolysis vs. Laser, and Heart and Soles (about shoes, natch) on the Womanhood Page. Updates to LGBT SUPPORT and Commercial Sites pages. Added one new picture from 12/30/2002 on Photo Two page.
12/24/2002 Updated Commercial links page.
12/2/2002 Added a second photo page but only a temporary one until I get a real one formatted that is really usable and looks nice. I had a few pictures that I could out put up so I thought why not. I have many more that are either too big or are too dark. I need to create an HTML page for them as well, so it gets complicated. Added to my "Dear Jenelle/Creating Cleavage" article by updating the text somewhat and added a couple of pictures of me to show that my techniques do indeed work.
11/15/2002/B Added many emails, a few more pieces to womanhood, funny piece to art and cartoons, two questions to Dear Jenelle (inaugurals), a new story, and another one for visitor diary.
11/15/2002 Several emails found, some going as far back as 2000 and these include some articles as well as requests for information that I am now either publishing or going to get for these people. The others are praises or people having trouble getting access to this web site. I respond to all email. If I do not right away, it is because you got buried beneath an avalanche but I will uncover everything and reply, so please, don't hold back! Read Lydia's story on Visitor's Diary, her email preceding that night out in Emails (bottom of page), like wise a great message from Melanie on the Emails page, WHY IT'S GREAT TO BE A WOMAN on Womanhood and finally a great article, same page, called "Why..." from Alicia lala. Again all of these were sent in a long time ago. I tried to thank them but their email addresses are no longer valid. Hopefully they will see I have recognized now! Thank you all!!
11/14/2002 Many updates throughout site. Links, added articles and pictures in some cases in addition, to Womanhood (3), Transsexuals (5 articles added, 1 picture) Transexuals 2, Transsexuals 3 , Visitors Diary (1), Help (new time line graphic for make up expirations) and an added an article for the LGBT page. Added a new email off of Woman Hood of someone expressing themselves and us of the "Inequities between the sexes "when it comes to fashion" (all my words) in our society.
10/9/2002 Call this my bad luck summer! I had to spend $300.00 to restore my hard drive that included this site, then my unreliable computer's CPU, motherboard and memory had to be replaced. My digital camera's memory card had some how gone in wrong and a pin got bent. That was on September 30th and required a $200.00 repair. Just prior, I renewed my site's domain and hosting for another year but they held me for ransom first, taking my web site down and blocking my e-mail which they otherwise had nothing to do with. Hopefully things get better from here, as they can't get any worse, right?
I have been taking on a few more clients lately for web design. This has caused me to lay off of this site temporarily because I needed the money. (see above, see index page, if you would like to contribute) New sites require an initial burst of focus and energy but shortly thereafter it is all maintenance. So I am back to my fans of this site.
9/2/2002 Since my last entry I had a serious hard drive crash and my entire site, all my pictures, everything I had been working on and even my email was lost! It took all summer and a lot of patience but it is all recovered and so I will get back on track with making this site the best it can be and keeping you loyal.
I can't believe that one million people have been through here in the two years I created this site. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever have suspected such a thing. The TG community has continued to grow stronger and more unified all that time and more people have shown the courage to come out and not be afraid to just be themselves. I am proud to be who and what I am. I hope you are too, no matter who you are!
5/2/2002 TG Politics-soon to have a section contents page. Ann Landers, Civil Rights for the Transgendered, Declaration of Gender Liberty, Gender switch teaches empathy, I Want My Shirt Back!, If life were a salad, we would want more thanjust the "dressing," Job discrimination, Painting sparks bard sexuality debate, Taliban kidnapped women, girls, Afghan laws still repress women. Pages themselves are not complete yet.
4/30 Added a new section on Song lyrics. Check it out, let me know if you like it! Fixed Guest Book and Personals to work properly again. Next week on TV's Boston Public, the story line will be of a transvestite who wants to become a prom queen at the school! It airs 8:00PM(EST)/7PM Central Monday.
4/26 Links throughout site refreshed, particularly the main Links page where I not only took away a lot of dead links as I did on many pages but added many as well. Many articles, which were found to have no pictures associated with them, were fixed. Working on bringing many new features to site as well as catching up on some others.
4/10 Brought Survey #1 over from another web site and believe I have all surveys working now. I haven't tested them yet but I have begun receiving them.
4/9 Added a third Transsexuals page to spread the images out a bit more for faster load times and added a couple more images throughout all three pages. Still working on other things like the surveys.
4/7 A re-do of my Black Ribbed Dress, replacing the images I had with very high res, large ones, adding some new images to the Art page, and adding new pages-Fashion Dolls and Women As Art
4/5/ New host, new email account (jenelle@jenellerose.com), lots of changes around the site! To sum up: I have finally posted pictures of genetic girls and two pages of Transsexuals, I have re-done the pages of my own White Suit and Orange Dress and the images they take you too are now the original full sized , full res originals! They are totally un-retouched, meaning they are dark but they are all me, just as if you were standing in front of me right then. I am aware the surveys are broken and whatever else that is form-driven needs fixing. These are next! Tell all to come to only to: http://www.jenellerose.com from now on. Thank you!
3/21 I have a new web host meaning all Jenelle Rose sites and E-Mail will be assimilated with my main site, jenellerose.com by April 24th, I hope. Please change your links and bookmarks now! My new email is: jenelle@jenellerose.com
11/21 Finding more broken picture links that I am fixing and finally upgrading quality of thumbnails and lightening all images as well. Interesting discovery: http://jenellerose.com/ made the counter start over, so numbers will be low. Come in on http://geocities.com/jenellerose/, however and the numbers will be high (plus you will not see the "image holders"). Made thumbs for Art page to make it load much faster.
11/10 Fixed picture links that broke during the transitions between servers (thanks John!) and different web site hosts I went to. Many articles added to the "postings from the web" section of the Links page. More Articles added to the Advice page and a couple of completely new pages were added--Out in Public and Transsexual Advice to this web site. I more than doubled the stories in Stories and added a bit to the Policy Statement. All in all an extensive update but there is much more to come!
10/2 Sprung for the GeoCities Webmasters account. Have my own domain now, yippee. Reach this site by a simple and easy to remember "jenellerose.com". I have a 55 MB web site up from 15MB they downgraded me to (Had already had a 50 MB Geo Plus account before they changed policy, due to it's high number of visitors) and I now have a 20 gigabyte transfer allotment, up from 3 gig. I also have, in addition to the more girlie site at http://jenellerose.bizland.com/ , a new one at: http://jenellerose.tvheaven.com/ .
8/14 I want to start a visitors' diary. Send in your stories of the first time you ventured out, how it went, what you expected and if it went like you expected... You get the idea! I am hoping that this may help others who are wanting to take that first step but haven't yet. Added new photo page called "Legs Contest", referring to a Vanity Club contest in which members were to match leg shots with their owners.
7/26 On-going changes to site seem to be mostly keeping current on the Personals section. I add responses on a daily basis and have switched these pages to a monthly log. Did away with Listbot as a way of signing up for updates, as "they" are discontinuing their free services. Downloaded the the 78 current members and they will continue to receive update alerts to major site changes as all others who E-mail and sign Guest Book will too.
6/11 Won the HTC Award as they describe it: "The HTC-Award is exclusively bestowed upon transgenders and TG-friends web sites which have made a contribution to help the Transgender community through excellence in content, information and presentation." Meanwhile I continue to post personals to what has become a very popular feature, though I am surprised I haven't had a true woman post an ad to this point.
4/17 Went back to a GeoCities GuestBook, found on Index/Home page.
4/16 Survey for Significant Others ready to be taken!
4/11 Added a Personals page!
4/10/ More links added and I have a new award from Rachel's Web called "Featured Sites of Excellence Award"!
2/5 Survey #5 (for Cross-Dressers) (120 questions) posted, active and considered the current primary survey!
There are two NEW, additional surveys for "Significant Others" and Transsexuals coming soon!
2/4 Previews of THREE NEW Surveys posted! I would like your opinion. Please check back when surveys are functional! These are only previews! They will be formatted and work as a form, just like all previous surveys. Note, I would love to have your feedback on any aspect! Thank you!
1/30 Cleaned up Links page and added a link directly to Articles and Postings from the Home Page to call attention to this very important section. Added text as to what can be found there.
1/28 New Navigation bar and BG picture for main page, text clean up and Survey 3 Results formatted. I now have a gateway page to Survey area.
1/27/01 Posted a new series of high resolution pictures dated 9/28/99 of me in a brown suede suit. Many new articles posted in Links under "Postings from the web." Continued work on new Reviews page.
I also added some informative E-Mails as well as a couple that just feed my self esteem, have a read! Added a new page called Reviews. Gives more tips, tricks and
1/12/2001 A new pic from Christmas party 12/17/2000 added to index page. Also I am in a contest and I need your vote!
11/24 Still adding links.
11/22 Added new recipes-a couple favorite main dishes and my evening or lunch coffee I sometimes have. Updated GuestBook as per GeoCities request and a big change, put up a new background to Home Page after 2 years of the old one. View all old GuestBook entries here. Made my listings and awards go on a separate page for faster download of main page. It went from 193 seconds on a 56.6k modem with new image to 72 seconds! I may have to bring some back due to code or agreements, we shall see. Added an amazing Cross-Dressing FAQ, check it out! Also revamped the Advice page a bit.
11/21 Posted a new article, a work in progress-Beauty Tips by Jenelle Rose.
11/20 New section, Recipes! Switched over to new GeoCities counters on main entry pages.
11/19 Links added to, mistakes corrected and Discussion Forum complete and de-bugged, ready for use! Awarded the TGNI Award for Transgendered Excellence!
11/17 Major change! Published with Front Page after Geocities broke counters. I now have a search page, my own counter and will be able provide to additional features as well such as a Discussion Web/Forum and more! I have a new picture that I am quite proud of!
10/21 Giving the site a once-over before I send out an update alert, the first in over a year, I notice some broken picture links and fix them. Found other minor mistakes and fixed. Thumbnails were enlarged again.
09/28/00 Finished compiling the results from the third survey!
09/13/00 Refreshed the Links page, added some very important new text to Main page. Other tweaks along the way were also made.
09/08/00 Added a few more links and updated others. Made a change: I have taken a few commercial links and placed those also in the regular section as well. The Commercial section uses actual logos making it slower to load, especially on slower modems. The listings there however will always have much more information about the company and I think it looks great otherwise as it is. I will only make this exception for a few of the sites that have something to sell. Won Rainbow Award (for August) and placed that on the main page.
The Rainbow Award is exclusively bestowed upon those Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgenders who have made a contribution to the GLBT Web community through excellence in content, design, creativity, presentation or overall concept of their Web page.
09/07/00 Major Links update with over 35 new links added including commercial sites! Two in-depth documents on makeup with female as well as male to female techniques as presented on 09/06/2000 to a cross-dress support group, representing major additions to the site in the Help/Advice section.
0714/00 Added VC Toon Page, a collage of the girls of The Vanity Club that VC member Rachael did for those of us who wanted one. Brought back the Java navigation that I took took off but kept it's replacement as well to accommodate everyone.
07/05/00 What started out as a long overdue picture upload, turned out to be a major site overhaul. Due to various virus's and other malicious things on and about the web in general, I now surf the Internet, as a third of my site's visitors also do, with Java disabled and IE in high-safety mode. In light of that, I have re-designed the navigation around the site, eliminating Java implementation. This makes some of the pages look a bit word-y on top, the trade off having complete access to any page from any other like-page. Also, besides this major change, I have refreshed the E-mails section, publishing a lot of mail received just before this site was taken down. There are still 80+ more about my situation at that time, not posted. Thanks to all who wrote and gave their support! I have added quite a few new links and made major additions to the Advice page as well. About has finally been brought up to date with statistics from just prior to this sites' removal and their are also some stats from June of this year. Sexy Animations was added to and Guest Books have been changed for navigation purposes. Minor tweaks have been made on various pages throughout for readability purposes, including a new Jenelle Rose banner at the top of the Home Page.
07/03/00 Finally a picture update and a major upload at that! New series! Home Shots, Be All, Cleavage, Hooters, Social and Christmas '99! As mentioned elsewhere, I went to a "Be All" this year, my first, and during one of the luncheons, a speaker from GenderPAC was talking about something that I firmly believe in too and that is, I think it is good to let our (TG) numbers be known to the world, like being able to grow long hair or wearing ear rings in two pierced ears, we need to get ourselves out of the closet and out of our bedrooms and in front of people, so the world knows our vast numbers; so we have the freedoms enjoyed now by feminists and the women's movement, not to mention the civil rights' movement -all gains that were made this past century. As this speaker said, THIS is OUR century!
Everyone must do their part, if we are to see progress made in our lifetimes! The time is now!
04/18/00 Lots of new additions in several areas and a few tweaks here and there. Posted several new articles and tips to Help, an e-mail from Amanda Richards and a few new Links. Brought back surveys #2 and #3 and posted the results from Survey #3 as a work in progress to join the results from Survey #2.
03/26/00 Finally getting back to do some updating! Many more links have been added including in the Commercial section and some minor tweaking here and there throughout the site, especially the Home Page. Would like to continue to add more to the Emails page. Joined The Equality Project, which you really should check into.
12/16 Past week-Making pages a bit easier to read by increasing the brightness on darker pages, added my "Some Hope" poem to the Home Page (rewritten and re-formatted slightly) and tweaked the intro. Continued to evolve the new Help page/section. Got a new tracker, WebStats and re-affiliated with an old web ring I had, WestHollywood. Tweaked, and added navigation to the bottom of all pages, while also adding two new targets, Help and Emails. Tweaked Survey slightly, by request. Nixed Yahoo's Message Board for lack of anyone using it. Added a new page just for commercial links.
12/8 Fast connection? Great, beautiful art! Added Help and Email sections to Main Navigation Bar.
12/6 New section started. Just a LONG page so far, a prelude of much more to come! It's called Help. Check it out!
12/2/99 More links and another web ring (ho hum...), TG 2000.
11/29 Lots of little things done this past week such as joining a couple web rings-TG Universe, GeoCities and the Transgender Banner Exchange. Been fixing broken links and working on compiling results from the second survey-I hope to have formatted and posted real soon. Very interesting comments. Getting lots of responses from the new survey which is great to see! Added Message Board to Home Page.
11/20 New Survey, finally! Please fill it out. Thank you! Now I will begin to compile the results from Survey 3.
11/19 Reformatted Survey 2 Results page. Added more links.
11/16 Re-formatted introduction on Home Page, added search engine for entire site, located at bottom of Home Page and joined the Transgender Universe Web Ring. Deleted all code on all pages for SuperStats because, according to them, I violated their decency policy. (?)
11/13 Very minor text changes to Index and Site Map pages. Ready to start on a new survey, I really want your input on this, and compile results from the second current one. I would like to pass the results of these on to where it will do the most good. Any ideas are most welcome! Also added a link directly to the archived GuestBook from the Home Page.
11/3 Again updated the BIO, including a rather large discovery about myself made recently! I just realized I had actually tried on my mothers clothes at an early age; A fact I had totally pushed out of my consciousness till now! Uploaded 20 new images from two new series: Steppin' Out and Au Natural (includes my Halloween outing with my wife-all pics are with my natural hair). Removed the Petition on the hate crimes bill and many more links were added. Kind-of tricky and nifty, I changed the way you open my photo thumb pages. Now they open in a new window from the main Photo page. You can still proceed forward or backward from this second window, as always.
10/1 Made changes to my BIO, Brown Dress, While Away, Miscellaneous and Miscellaneous II.
9/29 Added the link In Loving Memory To Barbara Richards from Home Page.
9/23 BIO is updated and most thumbnails enlarged (again) for easier viewing with 1024 x 768 resolution, by request. Jenelle is totally accepted by my wife now. Divorce is annulled! I've shaved my legs for the first time and it is wonderful! A girl at a Prescriptives cosmetic counter sez I look fantastic dressed en femme! Great make up, great looks. Thank you Niki! Picture uploads have returned! New Pics! = How I spent my summer vacation! Geocities/Yahoo gave me a GeoPlus account with 50 MB of web space, up from 11MB, just before I took the web site down for divorce reasons, because of it's tremendous popularity. Thank you all! I intend to use this space for many more pictures, articles of all kinds, including various how-tos, and a new survey and much more. Please send your ideas and suggestions to me. I am looking for more questions you would like asked in this new survey. Also refreshed Favorites (links) page.

Please drop by often! Kisses.

4/23 Friday: Told my wife I wanted a divorce.
4/19 New pictures! More of my red dress, Jenelle's Red Dress. Compare to the older series Short Red Dress. Difference being the originals were a rehearsal set with lower res and not as good make up, etc. Also the new shows my new shoes and I'm wearing suntan pantyhose instead of my favorite black.

General tweaking of main photo thumbnail pages; editing text, changing out the GeoCities logo and making the text easier to read against the backgrounds.

4/6 Added SuperStats for tracking services.
4/2 Fixed Guestbook. I didn't even know it was broke! Hadn't received any new sign-ins so I got suspicious....

3/3 As suggested, turned this log listing around so you now see the most recent changes at the top! I liked the idea! Deleted a few links temporarily until I get the new URLs including LuvNest and CrossPort, deleted KatiesCorner, as it is now by invitation only. Long overdue, due to an oversight on my part, I finally placed a banner on my main page for Susana Marques Directory, a major contributor to my hits! Took the opportunity to rearrange some of the banner ads as well. Added a little more description for what my two community sites are about. Tweaked Survey: added several comments fields, additional buttons to decline/don't know, etc. and re-worded a question or two. Now tell that there are 50 questions to survey.
2/27 and 2/28 Tweaked Survey, About, Home Page and added more to Links. refreshed navigation for all pages. Got my ID, finally, from TransgendeRing and I am starting to get some hits from that source.

2/20 Uploaded new "Turtleneck, Long Skirt" series of pictures. Found a minor error in Guestbook login page (wrong path for BG image) and corrected.
2/19 Archived the original Guestbook because it had reached the GeoCities limit of 30K in size. There is now a link to it from the new one. Also created another "beautiful community." This one is on Yahoo, which now owns GeoCities. The first one after a month, hosted by DejaNews, only garnered 7 members. Hopefully more people will get involved with this new one and we can build a true community where women's beauty rules!
2/9 Major picture upload resulting in a major site revamp! Took most of the older, April, '98-era pictures and various others off to make room for the new "Short Black Skirt With Red Knit Top" and "Boudoir" series. Having only one to three pics left on a page in some cases, I put these remaining pictures together in a "Miscellaneous II" page. Added four more images taken with 35mm cameras to "Christmas" series. Still working on another survey, (Now complete-See "Survey3"!) the results from the present one (done) and many other features that are still to come! Please keep in mind, this web site is only five months old! I have only started Cd'ing a couple years ago too and Jenelle hasn't even had a single anniversary yet! Also with this batch of pix, I have incorporated a logo. I will try to evolve it, so that it isn't as prominent as this one is, but perhaps it should be? Tell me what YOU think!
2/5 Posted a Petition. I would love it if you could do as the page says. This petition demands the broadening of the federal anti-hate crime law.
2/4 I installed, learned and set up ICQ! Now with the ICQ Panel, you will know when I am on line and available to connect with me, and you will now also have more options like paging me, sending me express e-mail and even chatting in real time!
2/3 Re-wrote intro text on Home Page. Changed some image source locations to local GeoCities server for faster download.
2/1 Massaged the navigator bar, did a major re-write of my BIO again, and combined "Support" links with my main Links page to take advantage of the far higher number of "page views." Added a ton more links for support, only now they are in the Links section.
1/24 Fixed image links on the new upload, added navigation bar to all articles, mine or not and changed some BG images. Deleted original April-era Ribbed black dress pix.
1/23 Posted new pictures "Jenelle's Black Ribbed Dress." Not too happy with my face. As explained on the page itself, I had lost, and later, re-found, but too late, all of my favorite make up, including my brushes and things!
1/21 I Posted a new poem I wrote the 17th entitled, "Leaving My Blues." Updated the Countmaster tracker for more complete stats. I'm working on a report to post to this site about how visitors are finding my site, the browsers used, screen resolutions, color depth, OS, repeater visitors, how long you stay, etc. Done! See "About." I think you may find this a bit interesting! I'm going out tonight dressed, meaning more pictures are going to be taken then uploaded here!
1/15 Jenelles Beautiful Community: A community for discussion of beauty about all things woman. A new web site for you to enjoy! This one wants more of YOUR INPUT!
1/10 Revised and updated a bit my articles "Discovering Newsgroups" and "Rants and Raves". Fixed a few other minor bugs here and there.
1/8 Well no one asked, but I thought I'd make the navigation easier for all of you. I'm getting about 800 "hits" per day now! Just around Christmas it was about 100! Anyway, you don't have to go back and forth between the main photo page and the "thumbnail" pages anymore! Yea!! Just click "next". This should save you a bunch of time and frustration! I also added counters for each individual "thumbnail" page. I want you all to enjoy yourselves here! :^) Many more "neat" things to come!
1/7/99 Happy New Year! Cleaned up individual picture pages of empty cells, added link to Navigation bar (previously overlooked), added a few more links (En Femme movie listing index, Anna's, etc.), changed and or added copyright notices and "Revised" time stamp to all pages pertinent to, and other minor stuff. Removed "Fan Mail" page referred to above (9/28) for lack of interest.
12/22 Rewrote my BIO page to keep my present personal relationship a bit more private.
12/21 Major face-lift in several areas including the Support (now in Links) section, which got the heaviest make over-totally revamped it with new titling, organization, and additions. I went over most all of the articles and made things more readable and cleaned them up a bit but without editing the original prose itself. Also added a "Back/Next" navigation bar to "same level" pages to the sides of all pages.
12/20 Wrote and posted another poem. This one is called "Some Hope". Added a couple of images of just my face cropped from shots taken at the local support groups annual Christmas party for use on the Home Page.
12/19/98 Uploaded pictures from the local supports groups' annual Christmas party! Unfortunately, to make room for these pictures, I have now begun removing some of the older, not so good pictures, as I have used up my allotted GeoCities space of 11 MB's. :( I Re-did the photo album main page a bit, adding some graphics and such. Finally created a new banner and submitted it to HyperBanner.
12/10 Fixed some broken links found with "Orange Dress", "White Suit" and "Silver/Grey Dress" (removed, some are now in either "Miscellaneous" or "Miscellaneous II" series.
12/4 Sensitive to your suggestions, I have reduced some larger graphic files and therefore the pages should load much faster. Added a desription for this page by it's link on the main Index/Home Page and suggested on several other pages to check here to get more visitors to use this page. Added Site Map link to all pages. Combined several pages and sections into one new page/section called "Support" (now in Links). Added "Since 9/22/98" to counters on index and main photo pages. Other minor tweaks and fixes made throughout. Found an image used for a background (this page) (since changed) that wasn't available for download (p0219)! Added thumbs to main photo page.
12/2 Reworked text on "Info On Older Pictures" page, added more pictures to the "Miscellaneous." page, added more drawings to the "Sexy" page. A new "animation" page was also added! A minor bug on "Orange Dress" page was fixed and other minor changes were made throughout site.
11/30 Beige Skirt With Black Top picture upload. Text changes and updates throughout site. Extraneous GeoCities Java code finally eliminated from all pages.
11/29 Thanks Steve Savage! Steve, a WestHollywood GeoCities community leader, helped by figuring out that the GeoCities server adds a lot script code to a page and when I downloaded my site from their server during my recent re-construction process, I imported all of that "extra" code and therefore I had JavaScript errors that I couldn't figure out! Today I also added some new (reciprocal) links to my index page. Once I remove that extra code from my other pages, I'll be back to updating this site with more new pictures, the Survey results, a new stats page, and a "who you are" section plus a lot more! Updated "My BIO" and included a link to my new poem, A Song Of Sorrow. The Background image for it is a sneak peek to my next picture upload, Jenelle in Short Beige Skirt with a tight, stretchy, (ooh!) black knit top! My wife is getting much easier to deal with; she is coming around!!
11/24 Hard drive went down so I have been rebuilding my files. This has taken time away from any updates to web site. Mostly finished now, so upgrades and updates will again continue. Have a new index collage and banner ad. New pictures to be posted shortly. Many more sections and pages plus new articles and even a poem I just wrote are on the way!
11/12 Revamped "Favorites" links page. Many changes were made. This site is now linked to such great sites as Vicki Rene and Draag. Thank you girls!
11/6 Finally bit the bullet and re-did the Survey page, now called Survey2 (Replaced with new Survey3). It works now! Completely! Take the survey, would you please? It's gonna be fun!
11/4/98 Uploaded lots of pictures-again! Lingerie (Body Briefer, Long White Slip, and Close-up Bra), Face, Long Red Floral Dress and Short Tight Red Dress-50 pictures in all! That does it for the better April-era shots. Time to move on. The Short Red and Long Red Dress shots in this upload are new but being a dress rehearsal they are lower res, lesser quality and the make up isn't so good either (I was trying out a different foundation, eye liners, brow pencils, etc. and used a different applying technique)!
11/2 Was awarded the Pretty T-Girl Award! Took some lower res pictures as a dress rehearsal. I will be posting a few very soon. Short Red Dress series.
10/31 Was added to Stephe's web ring!
10/17 Uploaded many more pictures including a lot of pictures (200!!) taken in April of 1998 when I was a bit heavier (15 Lbs) and had a few more inches, not mention no hips! I also uploaded (18) brand new pictures of me in a stylish White Suit taken 10/15/98 prior to going out to a support meeting. Working on other design changes including home/index page and main photo pages. Re-grouped Silver Dress and Skirts images. Other minor changes made.
9/28 Added email box to Survey page, added a new page - "Fan Mail" (Removed 1/7/99) based on an emotional, angry response to my site that I responded to and he wrote back. I'm opening this up for general response which I'd like to graft your responses onto! It runs off of my "BIO" page.
9/26 Upgraded my hard drive! Added "sometimes" to a couple questions on "Survey", as suggested, moved list bot to "Table Of Contents / Site Map" page, tweaked - placements.
9/25 Added picture "reps" to "Photo" page, made link to this page from "Home"/Index page, added BG's to "Guestbook" Login page. Added - to all pages to avoid the pop-up ads and placed them all to the bottom. They're embarrasing to me too!
9/24 Changed Navigation bar to more graphical format ("Roll-over Hover Buttons"), more site promotion was done. Finally (!) figured out what I was doing wrong and fixed the GuestBook! I added some email that I've received this first week of site being up to jump start things a little bit in Guestbook! Hope you don't mind!
9/23 Cleaned up a lot of code; Lost two pounds today!
9/22 Added pic to index ("Home") page with link to "Table of Contents", fixed Postings BG, added other BG's, fixed double Link Exchange code, did away with using watermarks on certain pages' backgrounds. I still can't figure out why I.E. 4 doesn't show BG on Index page?! I design with my preferred (safest/best) browser choice-Netscape 3.04! I do try to accommodate everyone though! Rated site with SurfRate, added "Jenelle's Survey", - (to eliminate "pop-ups") and Guestbook and independent hit counters to most all pages.
9/20 Found broken links in "Postings_HTML" and fixed all while adding taping article, fixed broken BG on "Your Turn" page. Doing some marketing! Submitted site to top search engines, linked with others, joined Link Exchange, installed List Bot on "Your Turn" page, and joined West Hollywood's web ring! Anything I'm leaving out?!
9/19 Cleaned up individual HTML pages in Postings, getting rid of distracting, non-functional icons, etc. (as suggested), leaving any working links. Added a Docs section and re-organized the whole Postings area (also as suggested), Found problems with "Jenelle's Orange Dress" main page and fixed them all, changed navigation through-out web site.
9/18 Made site easier to read, especially on 1024 x 768 res' monitors, deleted non-supported Microsoft Front Page components (comments section, hit counter, serach, etc.), made changes to some text throughout site, added clarifications on "Photos" page, added "Your Turn" section (forerunner of "Survey"), posted new pictures-"Jenelle's Orange Dress"!
9/17 Site revamped a third time in three days to optimize it's speed and give you more! (Was suggested I improve sites' graphics), decreased BG (background) image sizes closer to the ideal 30Kb (For faster viewing of page) and added this page.
9/14/98 Birth of this Jenelle Rose web site!!
