Teela says.....
“I hope this newsletter finds you
healthy and happy and geared up for
the Spring. Let’s hope we have the
same weather for Easter as we did last
year - I remember having my Sunday
Roast in the garden!!
Towards the end of last year, I had
the opportunity to get to the Harmony
weekend in Scarborough but didn’t
get around to seeing the area because
I was working. I would have loved
to walk along the seafront and visit
nearby Whitby, so when a friend of
mine bought Dave and I a weekend
hotel gift voucher I decided to revisit.
Not sure if it was Dave’s first choice
tho. So that’s something to look
forward to at the end of March. We are
even staying at the very same hotel
that was the venue for the Harmony
weekend!!
I am going to be organising the Miss
Sparkle and Miss Golden Sparkle
Pageant this July at Sparkle 2012, and
would be over the moon if you entered!
More details can be found in this
edition.
Remember, if you have a story to tell,
or anything that may be of interest
to other girls, please drop me an
email with details and I will be happy
to publish in the next Newsletter.
Hope to see you very soon!!
Love from Me,
Teela-Jane

Almost daily I receive emails from
the girls who have visited Transpose
and just want to share a those that I
received this morning. I know there are
many of you who haven’t yet tried a
make-over and photoshoot for various
reasons, but to those of you who think
that you wouldn’t look good, or don’t
like being in front of the camera, or just
too shy or nervous, by reading what
others write, just might make you drop
me a line.

A Message from New Zealand
____________________________
“Hi Teela,
My god, it is about 4 years since I came
to you for a makeover! I still think of
the wonderful time I had, and I wanted
you to know that I still use some of
the pictures you took in my on-line
chats and share them with my friends.
You must have made an impact on me
because I still remember the session
this much later and I still recommend
you to people who ask. That is why I
just had to send you an email to let you
know of the lasting effect you have on
those you help. I am so pleased to find
your web site and to see that you are
still going strong.
Unfortunately I live in New Zealand
now, so I doubt I will be able to get to
you again, but if I ever do get back
to the UK and find myself with a
day on my own – it is not the
There’s Gratitud
Tower of London I will be visiting, but
Ellesmere Port!
Love from,
Sandra
(in beautiful NZ!) “
A Message from a Nervous Kitten
____________________________
“Teela, I wanted to thank you so much
for the kindness and consideration you
showed me during my first makeover.
I arrived as nervous as a kitten and
you put me completely at ease within a
few minutes. After that I had a blast,
just looking at the photos brings a huge
smile to my face and diving for the
diary to see when I can fix up another
visit!
I learnt a great deal about me, my
feelings and my desires. I came away
from the studio, with an inner peace
and tranquillity that is hard to find
anywhere in this crazy world, and it has
stayed with me (up to now anyway)! If
3 hours of being Paula can make such
an impression on a hardened cynical
old man, then long live Paula!
Thank you once again for guiding a
virgin through the minefield of being
a girl and making everything fun,
educational and indulging my passion
for photography.
Paula xx “

e for Ya!....
A Message from a Grateful Girl
________________________
“Its been nearly a year since we first
met, when you gave me a makeover
and took some pics for my very first
time out as a girl ever.
That first time we met I was a bit of
a nervous wreck, I don’t know why,
looking back there was no need to be
but it was such a big moment in my
life, by the end of the session I already
felt much better and as you may
remember went out for the first time
into the big world for an evening out.
I came to see you a few weeks later
for a makeup lesson on a Wednesday
evening, then another the next
morning, and to even my surprise Ive
never been back.
I have to say that you are one of a few
people without who I wouldn’t have
the life I have today, the few times I
came to see you were like a ticket to a
new life and Ill always be grateful for
the kindness you showed me and for
the things you taught me and for the
confidence you helped me to grow.
After the invaluable lessons you gave
me I practiced a lot and developed
my own style which I still change
sometimes as I learn, and very quickly
indeed learned that I could spend
day or night time as a girl doing quite
ordinary things,
I guess what Im trying to say is
that although I didn’t come to see you
many times those times were vitally
important and lifechanging for me and
Ill always be grateful.
Life now is not easy of course as Im
only a girl part time and always want
more but I do still have my wonderful
supportive partner, who I was only out
shopping with (as girls of course) at the
weekend. I have come on a long way
with my appearance since we last met
both with makeup and dress sense and
find girl life to feel natural and easy to
do.
Lots of love

A Message from the Heart
____________________________
“Dear Teela, I cannot begin to thank
you enough for my makeover on
Thursday. As you will have guessed I
was pretty nervous at first - but very
soon I was really enjoying it. The time
went far too quickly.
You took so much trouble to get my
three looks just right. The photos
are absolutely fantastic, and I never
imagined that I could look so good. You
certainly have a skill, not only with the
make up brush but with the camera
and know how to get the best of your
girls.
You made me feel very special and I
still can’t get over how good I look.
Thank you, thank you. Regards
Dee x “

And the winner of Miss Spa
Well, it could be YOU!!! All you have to do is enter.
A few weeks ago Transpose was approached by the aficionados of Sparkle to
organise their Miss Sparkle 2012 Pageant. After the trauma of putting on a
fashion show at Sparkle and the organising that took place for that, we were
somewhat hesitant but said we would give it some thought. After discussions
with Tilly and her promise that she would be there to help, we said Yes.
So girls, the Miss Sparkle and Miss Golden Sparkle (for the over 50’s) will take
place at Sparkle on Saturday 14th July in the park. There will be two prizes
on offer – Miss Sparkle 2012 and Miss Golden Sparkle 2012 plus runner up
prizes and goodies. All entrants will receive a Transpose Goodie Bag and for the
winners, a 5* Makeover and Photoshoot.
There was no Pageant in 2011 due to lack of entrants, so let’s make Sparkle
2012 the best ever....................
What you waiting for? Get your entries in.
You can get your entry forms by visiting the Sparkle 2012 website, or write
directly to teela@transpose.tv and we will be happy to email you one, fax you
one or post you one!!

kle 2012 is........................
If you are wondering what to wear, there is only one category - wear what you
want!!! There is no swimsuit round, there is no evening wear round, just wear
whatever makes you feel good and makes you stand out.
And if you are still a little hesitant, we are holding an open evening on June
28th from 7 till 10 at the Transpose studio so you can eye up the competition
;-). No, seriously, we can answer any queries, worries or questions you might
have; help with advice on what to wear; any make-up advice; maybe practice
your walk or brush up on your poise and deportment. For those unable to
travel far, we will be available on Facebook for an on-line chat.
Remember, it’s not the winning that counts, it’s the taking part!!!

Alyson
Aly has been a frequent visitor to Transpose for
many years, has been a Newsletter Cover Girl and
maybe once as a Girl of the Month. But that was
some time ago and we thought it was high time she
was featured again.
Whenever Aly comes along, she always brings fun
ideas and different challenges for Teela-Jane and
together they have had many different outfits and
looks over the years to reflect on. We cannot possibly
feature a selection, there is just too many to
choose from, so we decided to include just one from
her last shoot, here at the studio.
“Transpose is the Carlsberg of dressing services
(without the “probably”) & Teela-Jane is
the closest thing I’ll ever have to a Fairy Godmother...!”

Alyson uses Flickr to post many of her photographs,
you may have already seen her there.

Hey Ladies,
Was very nice seeing you at the last
tea night – we seem to all have a
bit of a fetish for shoes going on at
the moment lol – think it must be
something to do with sky high heels
still being in fashion not to mention
platform soles and wedges – bit of a
glam shoe delight these days.
Women and their passion for impossible
heels seem to have come in
mighty waves, from the mediaeval
times to the very ‘flirty 20’s’ with
their ‘strumpet’ kitten heels.
1950’s saw heels go from chunky
to skinny and then a positive explosion
of weird n wonderfulness hit us
in the 60’sand 70’s (for those of you
who remember – sadly I do – well
just ;P) Cor blimey lol remember
some of these Teela!!??
Tilly’s

Blog
Personally I think over the years I
must have worn every type known
to man! Despite being tallish for a
girl the sky high heels never phased
me – until I fell off them!! Sadly
that happened fairly regularly after
alcohol – oops! I have gone from
boring to funky in a flash and from
flat to super sky in a whim – these
days my fetish only comes when
feeling brave – or at the request of a
significant other (ahem! Lol)
Nowadays it seems almost anything
goes – get a load of these beauties.
All I can say is Viva la difference!!!
I love shoes and wish you all well
in your glamorousness but beware
– rocky roads and alcohol are no
friend of the sky high diva !
PS I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t plug
the ‘look after your feet’ campaign
after all no good having glamorous
heels and funky toes if your feet
look like need a good brush n scrub
is it?! (Don’t forget the legs too!)
Am always there to guide and advise
should you need it
See you all soon
Lots love
Tilly xxx

Cover Gi
Kelly is featured on the cover, inside cover and
back cover and is such a lovely person, we
wanted to share her story with you. She just loves
wearing anything colourful!!
A little about myself and my TTJE , abbreviations by
the way a pet hate of mine but try to be 'with it'--
The Teela-Jane Experience.
The 'male' me is what could be described as an 'old
codger', who over the years has realised he had
a feminine side and occasionally let it come out.
In secret as many of us do, of course. Of late it
has developed more strongly due to a personal
situation I found myself in and it proved what
you could say was a 'stress' release valve, which
has been my saviour.
I see myself as a 'crossdresser', admit to
occasional twinges of the 'real' thing but
age takes this out of the equation.
However I do feel it important to
be passable, am still a virgin to
a public experience yet, by the
way.
Without wanting to bore you, I went
down many avenues of discovery as
no doubt have many others and came
across an advert for Transpose. Realised
not a great distance from me and a sense
of adventure swept over me but also
nerves as well.

l Story
Eventually I emailed and rang Teela-Jane.
After a few calls and emails I decided to
go to see her. The choices of experiences
were many but thought lets go in at the
deep end, so to speak, and booked a 5
star photo shoot.
I was very apprehensive come the big day but
it all went well. I Began to realise a models
world is not such an easy life after all and
was overwhelmed with the choice of outfits
and wigs.
Teela-Jane soon put me at my ease.
Needless to say have been back to
Transpose again since and also attemded her
makeup sessions.
All I can say is thank you Teela-Jane
for making an 'old codger' a really
gorgeous young lady, who is nearly
ready for the world outside.
Kelly

Our pleasure, Kelly!
