The Gallery – Chilled out – Ladyboy

Trish Burgess Posted on11/05/201107/04/2016 The gallery 30 Comments

It’s not often you have your camera primed and ready when an unexpected photo opportunity comes along. A few years ago I was lucky. We were staying at my parents for the weekend and I was fiddling about with the camera, deleting old shots, when I looked up and saw my husband transformed into a beautiful woman. I can’t believe he was holding the magazine so that his hairline seamlessly matched that of the model. It was rather creepy but I thankfully avoided yelping in order to catch him before he moved.
I thought the shot was perfect for The Gallery this week, the theme of which is ‘chilled out’. A man having a lie-in reading his mother-in-law’s Prima magazine seems pretty chilled to me.

    This is brilliant! Most men never admit to reading women's magazines, but you've managed to catch your husband in the act…so funny.

    That's hilarious, clearly a man in touch with his feminine side if he's reading magazines like that.
