My First Transformal. 2012

I first attended Transformal, which was held in the beautiful Blue Mountains high above Sydney, in 2012.

I had known of the event since it's inception in 2010 but for some strange reason had not had the mind to attend.

This is the Cocktail Reception on the first night of my first Transformal.

I met these girls for the first time and I am happy to say I am still friends with a most of them. This was a lot of fun and for some girls their first time out in the real world ever. It is always lovely to watch a new girl discover that the world does not collapse because she was in public presenting as a woman.

This is the group photo for 2012

Sunday morning shortly after the group photo on the steps of the Carrington. I am happy to say that I am still friends with five of these girls today.

These two beautiful young ladies were making a film of the event for a school project. Even though they gained permission from all the girls they filmed and interviewed the finished product never saw the light of day as one of the interviewees rescinded her permission post production making their project useless.

It is not hard to see why we are sometimes viewed in a bad light. Tsk tsk.

This is the first photo I have of Lorraine and me at a Transformal. I have always tried for a photo with her each year.

Being my first Transformal it was pretty special to me. I have loved them all but you always remember your first!
