For crossdressers and transsexuals, this book will show you how to look like a convincing woman.

How to Look Like a Woman
a course for transgender women who want to look convincingly female
by Kalina Isato, 60 pages, 8-1/2" x 11" format

From the preface: "To every transgender woman who has just started on her journey toward self-realization and is too afraid to step outside her home because she feels she is 'not pretty or convincing enough,' I was once in your shoes. I hope you build up enough courage to take that first step. It all gets easier with time and experience. Use this book as a guide and me as a role model and I promise you will succeed."

Inspired by the transgender women I've met at IFGE Conference 2006, I set out to write the definitive book for both crossdressers and transsexuals who want to look more convincingly female. This is my most ambitious work to date, taking what I've known as a crossdresser of twenty years and applying it to transsexuals and in-betweeners. Every transgender woman will benefit from the knowledge found within these pages. With all-new pictures and completely revised text, this book teaches you what it takes to look like a convincing woman. Learn how to spot your flaws and correct them, learn how to look great in pictures, learn the secret to looking five years younger without spending $1200 on chemical peels, learn about what female hormones can do for you, learn how to dramatically improve your appearance with contact lenses, learn about where to shop, learn ten basic guidelines for creating a successful look, learn about my perspective on developing a feminine voice, and much more. Follow the appendices where I show you how to create a simple hair style, how to design perfect lips and great eyes, how to soften the look of your face, and how to reduce your waistline by two inches in a week.

How to Look Like a Woman is available in two versions, a printed book for $26 or an electronic version (Adobe PDF) for $23. The electronic version is sent by email. This item usually ships within 24 hours.

Top seller for 5 months!

Learn the art of passing as a woman without detection.

The Art of Gender Illusion
by Kalina Isato, 40 pages, 8-1/2" x 11" format

NOTE: I took this book off the market for seven months because I wanted to gear my books more towards a transsexual audience. Seeing that crossdressers still comprise my largest readership, I owe it to these devoted fans to make this book available.

This book teaches crossdressers how to get to that next level in their transformation. Those crossdressers who are so far ahead of the game and are so convincing as women in many people's eyes can no longer be called crossdressers. I call them "gender illusionists," an elite group of crossdressers who share the common bond of a love for female impersonation, of being female without actually being a genetic female.

This is an advanced book because it covers more theory than technique, although many techniques are included in the book. It is also useful for beginning to intermediate crossdressers so they can learn some of the secrets of the advanced crossdressers and gender illusionists. Many of the theories and techniques described here have been kept secret over the years and are now revealed for the first time. Other secrets took at least ten years to develop, so both beginners to advanced practitioners will benefit from this research. Topics include what is gender illusion, why crossdressing, how others perceive us, why passing as a woman is important, the consequences of buying cheap, the secrets, beginner's mistakes, the most powerful secrets, and much more.

The Art of Gender Illusion is available in two versions, a printed book for $26 or an electronic version (Adobe PDF) for $23. The electronic version is sent by email. This item usually ships within 24 hours.
