sem·blance (n) - outward aspect or appearance, an assumed or unreal appearance
I pulled my hair back and bent over. I slid the blond wig over my brunette mane and adjusted the hairline. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw myself, a part of myself that I, or anyone, rarely sees. It was still me; I still had my dark eyebrows, my mustache, and my thin beard but I had acquired a full head of femininity. Sydnei meticulously applied the red lipstick to my lips, fixing the edges with a cotton swab. I moved my lips back and forth, rubbing the guise deeper into my skin. In applying a veil to my visage, I was unearthing a facet of my personality that is not often nurtured or acknowledged. I was exploring and breaking the gender binary using gender expression.
I stood there, bare and completely exposed in full disguise.
These are the resulting photos.
