WELCOME TO PAPILLON NEWS 
Welcome
to 3rd edition of the Papillon news.
The
Papillon Team would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
A
big thank you to the 18 of you out there that came to our Pre Xmas
party night on the 22nd November and made it the great night it was,
Pictures from the night can be found in our galleries section of the
website.

you miss our last party night...? Well, our next night is coming on
the 24th January 2009 at our London HQ. Doors open at 7:30pm till
late so you can always come and join us then. It will be out 1st
party of 2009 so let’s make it one to remember.
The

known people with in the Transgender Community.
Is
there some one you want us to interview?
Do
you fancy interviewing someone for us, if so, get in touch with us in
the usual ways.

PAPILLON PHOTO COMPETITION
I'm
sure that there are some girls or boys who come to Papillon that are
good with cameras (taking pictures) other than the normal ones. I
know every time I go anywhere; the camera goes with me because I
never know when the opportunity to take a really good picture will
present itself.
So
why not have a competition to see who can come up with the best
picture. It can be of any subject you like and Christina has offered
some Papillon goodies as prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd so let’s see
what we can come up with.
Deadline for entries to be in is the 14th January 2009.

ALTERNATIVE MAKEOVER COMPANY
As
a newly formed Makeover Service we are so grateful to Christina for
offering to feature us in the newsletter. We totally appreciate
the value of word of mouth and recommendation within the
Transgendered community and hope that news of our service will
spread.
At
AMC we believe we are not here to change you into a pre-determined
version of femininity. Instead we like to work with you to
enhance your natural features creating a truly feminine expression of
yourself.
We
can all look like someone else, but to appear as truly female, if you
like a sister to your male persona, this is the ultimate
achievement.
Working
with what nature gave you; we can enhance & transform your
natural features to create an individual expression of femininity,
not a mask applied to many.
We
all have different images and styles; it’s what makes us all
individuals. So let us help you express yourself by embracing
your individuality and developing your feminine confidence.
Claire
has been a regular attendee of transgendered events since meeting and
subsequently marrying Maria. If you have already been out and
about you are almost certain to have bumped into Claire at some
stage.
After
many years of applying Maria’s makeup, Claire decided to become
trained in the
specific
art of male to female transformations.
With
a dedicated makeover room at their home in Weybridge, Surrey, Claire
is now able to offer makeovers, image consultations and escorted
evenings to both transgendered venues and mainstream events.
Why
not have a look at our Website
or give Claire a call for a chat?

PAPILLON FORUMS
As
some of you know, Papillon has a forum
board to post questions, play games and keep up with all what’s
going on in the big wide world, This does require a separate
registration to the chat room & you will notice this month ( DEC
) its gone all Christmas like.

PAPILLON CHATROOM
Those
of you that are regulars of our chat room know we still have our
little bug, please bear with us whilst continue to try and work on
the problem with the people who built our chat room software &
iron out the bugs and hopefully bring you a few great new features.
It
has been good to see some old friends here and to make new ones and
see them all having fun. I would also like to thank the Moderators
for their efforts in the last few months. You've done a fabulous job,
well done girls!

"Dib, dib, dib -
Trannyweb founder, Katie Glover's first book on crossdressing and transgender
issues works on three levels.
Firstly she tries to
unravel the whole transgender experience from a psychological viewpoint and
comes up with some interesting ideas on why TG people just have to
dress.
Secondly she brings you
the benefit of her own experience as a transgendered person, to help you pass in
public every time (although Katie is the first to admit that she's not a miracle
worker).
And finally, to set her
book apart from the myriad of other tranny self help books out there, she tells
you about her own past and her experiences as a tranny girl, growing up in a
non-tranny world, from schooldays and before to her first visit to a dressing
service and then on to the creation of the jewel in her crown -
Trannyweb.
If you are serious about
being a transvtite, crossdresser or transsexual, you need this book. With
over 330 pages and packed with full color photos, Katie Glover's Girl Guide must
not be missed. Take a look at some sample pages and then buy your own
copy. You won't regret it."
