SPECIAL - review of Maomarimo


When I first chose to pick Maomarimo, I was rather puzzled when Mangahere chose to put up a warning sign about proceeding any further.   The editors of manga were, let's say,  a bit quirky.  When I read chapter nine, however, I found out exactly what they were warning me about.  And it was truly disgusting.  

I'm not trying to be a prissy.  However, when Horikita Aoi carefully masters an art over eight chapters, only to have it flushed down the toilet, it really is disgusting.

If you want shits n' giggles, hey, have at it.  However, when you seek a thoughtful examination of transgender life, you can do better.

Far better.

ezs note:  I was reading this article when this wonderful little whopper showed up:

Up until this point, he (Younger) had been allowed to see his kids once a week for two hours and on the first, third, and fifth weekends of each month since 2017, though court testimony indicates he frequently skipped his visitation days.  (emphasis mine)

Yeah, great to see your kids.  Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Now let me see...



As you might know, Emily's Virtual Rocket has been around a while.  You'd think that  I  would get some fabulous clothes.  Uh, not really.  I get clothing, but it's male clothing.

I am not asking for a handout.  What I would like is if you see an article that really moves or inspires you, sending an article of clothing would be a way of saying "thank you".  Just send one item.  It doesn't have to be from Saks or Cartier.  In fact, sending a good lightly used item would be just as appreciated.  I am very large (280 pounds/127 kilograms), but I am following Weight Watchers diligently. Here's what I'm looking for:

  • tops (not too loud or flashy)
  • wig (medium to dark brown)
  • slacks
  •  skirt (knee length) 
  • panties (new only, cotton preferable)
  • bra (new only)
  • nylons (new only)
  • socks (extra-large please)
  • insert into bra (C cup, no larger)
  • sweater
  • coat
  • inexpensive necklace (long)
  • inexpensive perfume
For three of the items which I specify as new, I am not calling for expense or extravagance.  Family Dollar, Target, or Wal-Mart, for example, will do nicely.  Here's the address:

Emily's Virtual Rocket
60 Starkel Road 
Apartment 60, #110
