So, you want to know more about Diahanna . . .
Ms. Diahanna Taylor
MANY FACES AND BODIES,
THROUGHOUT THE AGES.
A little about Ms. Diahanna. I wear a size 8 1/2 shoe. I am 5
feet 8 inches of height. My measurements are ... whatever you
want them to be ... it fluctuates so much it's hard for me to
keep track ... besides that's boring. I am not the young filly,
nor the filly which once enjoyed a youthful physique. There are
some serious mid-life stuff that takes over your body controls
... and that takes a little to get use to. I wear caramel colored
skin. I am Afro-American / Filipino. I have dark-brown eyes ...
and I love to play with tinted contact lenses. I think that tinted
contact lenses "alone" can dramatically change your personality
and the way you see yourself. My hair color is normally dark-brown
to black. However, I wear my hair in many colors ... I am always
experimenting. These days , keeping control over my white-gray
hair has become a never ending task. I wear wigs ... a lot! My
voice is neither typically male or female. Many say that I speak
with an American Indian dialect/accent. I am Aquarius with forty
nine years worth of wear and tear.
To this day, I still wonder why I do what I do. If, a forty nine
year old man with male genitalia intact, with no female boosting
hormones consumed, can play sexy, sensual woman ... then the world
must be mad! This only means you too can play... pretend. My disclaimer
should read ... "He is not a female, he is not a woman ... He
is a male, who loves to make others believe that he's a woman
... he is ... a female illusionist". When taking photographs,
feminine comportment, body positioning, facial angles and attitude
are key making a photograph convincingly female. You will never
see on this website photographic rejects ... the ones that don't
pass the test. When you put only your best female looking photographs
together, ones imagination can take over the reigns and begin
filling in other pertinent feminine "answers" that are needed
to fulfill the female illusion. You won't know me in the real
world ... but on the Internet you are a player of my "manipulated"
world. There are far more attractive, more serious and more convincing
transgendered persons than I ... who have made it their lifestyle
to be one sex of the other. I am not one of those people. I have
no desire to change my sex ... but I love to fantasize about that
process. I don't have female breasts, but I have male breasts
that when manipulated properly are convincingly female. I am an
excellent make-up artist and transformer. I love the fact that
I can still grow a beard, and be grandpa. And, I love that I can
shave it all off and transform into the lovely Diahanna, someone
sensual, sexy, feminine and appealing. I am a highly erotic person
who melts in the presents of femininity and enjoy transforming
his body attitude as such from time to time.
As, a young child I was always teased because of my naturally
curly hair ... an asset these days, but a
detriment growing up male in the 50's. Who was this child that
neither fit in a Black Heritage, nor a Filipino Heritage ... I
always felt I was an outsider. And, believe me ... even though
the adults were always kind ... my cousins spoke the adults' truth.
"Curly haired boy ... you should be a girl " ... "Little Black
Sambo" are a few of the many tortures I endured from my "perfect"
cousins. As a child, I never liked nor loved myself ... I just
didn't fit in anywhere. It was an ongoing fantasy of mine, to
be someone who was acceptable ... anyone other than me! There
was a time when makeup specifically manufactured for ethnic women,
did not exist in the United States. I knew for a very long time
that I wanted makeup and I wanted to play with it ... it was during
the Halloween season when a young male child could get his hands
on makeup ... and it was okay! So, Halloween makeup became my
fantasy arsenal. The was your basic, lipstick red, your clown
white, your under eye sports black, eye shadow blue and Martian
green, just the colors I needed for transformation. For, my hair
I used some synthetic rope that my Grandfather was trashing ...
it looked like "real " hair on its frayed ends, so I transformed
this rope into two, long ponytail like braids. Wow! So at nine
years of age, was the beginning of my man life transformations.
I never wanted to be a little girl ... I wanted to be a sweet
smelling, well dressed, well mannered, beautiful white woman.
You see, my vision, my sense of "real " beauty was shaped by what
was consistently reinforced on the television screen, movies and
visual print media. Ethnic beauty had not yet been discovered
by white America.
I NEVER WANTED TO BE A REAL WOMAN, I JUST WANTED TO PRETEND TO
BE THE PERFECT LADY, THOUGH UNDERNEATH THE MAKE UP AND THE ILLUSION
WAS ME ... THIS GUY !
I was fascinated with the thought of being the perfect female
illusionist. I could be mild mannered "JOE BLOW" by day and "DIAHANNA"
the seductive, sensuous, feminine sex goddess by night. I always
wondered what it would be like to have real healthy bouncing breasts.
I wanted great big breasts with cleavage. I wanted perky medium
sized breasts with great little nipples. I wanted bikini round
breasts with a slight nipple showing. I have never used female
hormones, even when they were made available to me. I had the
privilege of many friends and acquaintances who chose to use female
& male hormones ... and their stories were not always successful.
I was afraid ... I was afraid, if I had chose to use hormones
to enhance my look it would have been used for all the wrong reasons
... I would have taken it non-prescribed, not monitored by a physician,
it would magically "cure" all my deep emotional hurt and confusion
and, change me into someone that didn't think or look like male
... me. Believe me, the pressure to take these "magic pills" was
encouraged by more than a handful of my "dearest" peer friends
and acquaintances. After, a number of years, of seeing results
& hearing all the accounts from those who were using hormones
... I'm glad that I chose not to use them. But, I had regrets,
some terrible anxiety of being alone and not a part of my peers,
who were showing more and more feminine traits everyday, while
I looked on.
to be continued someday! . . .
The text on this page will be edited, refined, spellchecked, graphics
will change, new information added, some deleted. This is my work
in progress and it is written in a manner as if I were speaking
to a "dear" friend. The information on this page will change as
I discover my sense of worth ... as, I discover my truth . . .
you can bare witness "to it all" ... after all, this is Ms. Diahanna's
RapSheet!
SO, REMEMBER ... IF, I LOOK TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ... YOU THEN SHOULD
CONSIDER I AM ... A " DAMN " GOOD ILLUSIONIST !
AND THEY'RE ALL ME ... IN MY CYBERSPACE WORLD!
ENJOY!
