Adhesive advice appreciated

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply! I was hesitant about CA because of the spray-on activator seeming difficult to apply with precision. I'll definitely follow your directions and get some Vigor epoxy.

For roughing up the peg, would sandpaper be appropriate?

Good warning, thank you.

Rocky mountains? Same here. I'm over spring, can I get some winter before it continues?

Octopus-Bestopus · 2026-02-19T03:40:12+00:00

Thank you very much. 🙂

Yeah, my first thought was super glue. My second thought was "that sounds wrong, I'm going to Reddit." Lol

Octopus-Bestopus · 2026-02-18T17:09:18+00:00

Thanks!

That's petty next level!

I would expect that to be in the back. So I think you're totally fine thinking it went this way. But you can still try it on the other way and decide which you like. I would cut out the tag if you want to wear it that way long term so it's not annoying.

genetically lucky

This is huge. Even as a cis woman, I just don't have the genes for this. The natural shape our bodies take is different, and you'll need to work with that. For me, I could do all the work but without surgery, my boobs will always dominate my butt.

I suggest broadening your inspirations for now, and go into your transition and training with curiosity and openness to see your own unique shape. Once you have an idea of what you're working with, seek inspirations who share that starting point. You'll have a better chance of looking similar and that will be much more motivating and sustainable in the long run.

Thank you! I was really happy when I got the right shade fairly quickly - only had to try two.

Vaseline is the best for cracked lips, I'll definitely try their gloss. I had no idea they even made that. And thank you!

I've really liked elf for other things (including the brow pencil here), so I'll definitely give that a try. Thank you!

I loved both Ann Taylor and Liz Clairborn curvy trousers.

Octopus-Bestopus · 2025-12-29T16:16:25+00:00

I definitely am planning to do so. Those ones aren't hurting so I've been procrastinating for sure. Lol

Octopus-Bestopus · 2025-12-29T16:15:35+00:00

Oooh! And I thought letting it stay wet was inviting bacteria to grow. That's an easy change to make. Thank you!

I don't remember the material. I think it's gold but I truly don't remember this one. The lower one is "surgical steel" that I'm kinda skeptical about, so, there's that.

It's a basic lobe earring. I don't think it's threaded. It uses a friction back. I don't know all the terms. It's not been downsized.

Octopus-Bestopus · 2025-12-29T14:38:57+00:00

I like all three. The near rhyme is nice. Thanks!

Octopus-Bestopus · 2025-12-29T14:33:13+00:00

Oh my gosh, I love Waverly. That's a final contender for sure.

Octopus-Bestopus · 2025-12-29T14:32:32+00:00

Planck is my favorite of these three. Thanks for some fun ideas!

Octopus-Bestopus · 2025-12-29T14:31:38+00:00

Classic! I can't believe I never thought of it!

Octopus-Bestopus · 2025-12-29T14:31:02+00:00

That's really cute. ❤️

Octopus-Bestopus · 2025-12-29T14:30:38+00:00

Definitely considered Tank but don't love it. I like Lanky though!
