[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709501, member: 18958"] I was going to ask you if you are British. I did not think so because I did not see at first reading a spelling difference or idiom. And here it is! You see. I did not see this until now. A self-image is manifested in who you are not what you look like. That is what you are trying to tell me. How could I miss this? People say that you dress well to show that you think well of yourself, have confidence, value yourself. This was how I was faulting myself as falling short. I felt because I could not manifest in my dress, somebody well-composed, I was therefore not well-composed or self-composed. Both things, not true. But you are saying, as I understand you, something different. You are saying: a self-image is what you construct by your being. Your real life, who you are. What you present is: who you are, your being. You know how young women will dress with a safety pin through something or other...or a dress with a deliberately unsewn hem? Or jeans or tops that are deliberately torn? When I was in graduate school I was in a cohort of only 6. A heterosexual fellow student (male) wore dresses and skirts often. To be transgressive, not transsexual. Maybe this willful act of wearing a safety pin through my nose so to speak has been expressive and transgressive, too. Not necessarily transgressive of any societal norm (but perhaps that too) but I am expressing something through my one. set. of. clothes. I am giving the appearance, like Sally Bowles, of having lost control of the message. When I have not. I am fully in control. Like you as Joanna Lumley. This is a pose. A stylistic, transgressive, expressive pose. I like this. You have been so kind to me, Oh. (Easier still, than OH.) I am going now to read the post that just appeared here and than I am going to go get dressed for a walk (I have denied myself for 2 weeks). I am going to break the mold with my attire. Thank you, Oh. Very much. [/QUOTE]
