Personalia:-) My name is Randi Beate, I'm a 46 years old transvestite from Skien in Norway. I am single, and I am living alone in my own house. I was a member in FPE (the Norwegian union for transvestites) from October 99 untill 2007. I saw a program on TV about transvestites, but I didn't write down the address. Then after a while I got my own PC, and connected to the Internet. I started surfing, and I found out about the FPE. And here I am working my ... of trying to make a homepage so that you can read about me, like I have read a lot of your pages. You see I'm not a computer-expert. When I saw this tv program there was a transvestite or drag artist trying wigs in a shop in Oslo. I thought it would be nice to have a wig, and I decided to get one myself. I went to Oslo, found the shop Jalvad,- went in and I was being taken very good care of. I got all the help I possibly could ask for, and the ladies in the shop was wery nice to me. I got myself my first wig and it was like a dream came true. I went to Oslo City (a shopping mall) and had a wonderful time. I have been out shopping a lot since that day. When I decided to buy my second wig I went to a place called Ruhs in Oslo, and I was taken good care of there too. I found 12-15 different wigs and I sat down for myself and tried them on without interruptions. You can see my new wig on the first picture in the picture gallery. I didn't want a wig with hair that long at first, but I changed my mind fast when I tried it on. The first FPE-member I met was Kaja. I sent her a mail,- then I called her on the phone, and finally we met at her place. I had a good time, but I was a bit nervous at the beginning. It felt quite special to meet another T.V. face to face for the first time, but I got over it pretty fast and after a while I managed to relax. We talked about everything that T.V.'s talk about (I guess), and I got some info. about FPE, the meetings, and that they sometimes go out after the meetings. I enjoy to go out, and I always find it exciting to "go a bit further" than the last time. Four and a half year ago I went to Oslo for the first time dressed up as a woman, after that I've been out in public a lot. It took a while before I ended up at Karl Johan (main street in Oslo) for the first time, because I was afraid. I don't know what I was afraid of, there was nothing to fear, no comments from anyone. I was in Oslo on the 17. of May 1999 too (Constitutional day in Norway), walking around dressed up like a woman and it was really nice. Just great, you should try it sometimes! In July 2004 I appered in a Norwegian magazin called Det Nye together with 3 others, and on the 11.th of september It was a story in Norways biggest newspaper called VG ( Verdens Gang ). Everything went great and no one recognized me, but I knew that i was on thin ice. So on september 18.th 2004 there was a story of me in the local newspaper Varden. There was a 7 page story with pictures, and i was recognized as a transvestite by friends and people that i work with. It took from 4 to 12 days before anyone had the courage to confront me with the fact, that they knew about me, and that i was a transvestite. They didn't know how to act, and they felt it hard and difficult to handle. No one thought about the fact that it is the same person inside, the same person that they have worked with for years. Now,- the things have settled and it's not a subject. They know,- but i don't think they care that much, and thats OK by me. Maybe they think that this is his problem :-))) I buy like anyone else, clothes that I like to dress. The difference is that I prefer a feminin style now and then, and I feel great. I have to go now, so until next time take care:) OBS !! 6 mounts ago I left the union because the leader told me that I was useless, and all I did was to make problems for her. When I left, 30 others followed me!!!! Best regards from Randi Beate.

Personal Interest:) I am as a transvestite interested in clothes, make up, shoes, magazines and other female things. I'm interested in sports,- like soccer, biathlon, female handball, alpine ski. Some years ago I was wery interested in cars, but now a car to me is just something that brings me from A to B - and that's it. I enjoy travelling, and my favourite tour/ holiday was in July 1990. I was in the USA for the second time and we went to Hawaii for one week. The rest of the time we spent in California and Florida. I've been in the US 6 times and visited 32 states. In july 2006 i was over there for the 6.th time. I then visit the state of North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and Nebraska. We did go to Nevada, Arizona,and California as well. In the summer of 99 we went on a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea,- that was great. It was very relaxing, and I can strongly recommend it. This summer I will go over there for the 6th time, and try to get 12 new states. I hope to reach all 50 as soon as possible..

Shopping tip:) Oslo City er en helt grei plass å handle. Ambrosette Parfymeri ved Ullevaal Hageby, som også har noe klær, er også en hyggelig plass å stikke innom. Kan anbefales. Dette parfymeriet er drevet av to damer (mor/datter) som synes det vi driver med er helt fint og vi er hjertelig velkomne, så det er ikke noe å være redd for.Her fikk jeg også kontakt med ei flott dame som heter Britt som tok hull i ørene mine. Hun driver som make-up artist og holder også på med tatoveringer. Her kan du også få tatovert lipliner, eyeliner og øyebryn. Jalvad og Ruhs kan anbefales. når det gjelder parykker. "Store sko" i Trondheimsveien er også en helt grei plass for oss, her har de sko i store størrelser , men det er riktignok litt dyrt. Jeg bestilte et par støvletter fra ett firma som heter Ultimate Shoes (Lisa Williams) -og her må jeg si at det var veldig god service. Støvletten jeg ønsket var ikke lagervare så det tok ca.3 uker, men hele tiden ble jeg oppdatert via mail. Lisa var en svært hyggelig dame, som også var inne på hjemmesiden min etter at jeg sendte linken. Kan på det varmeste anbefale to parfymerier i Porsgrunn, det ene er Parfymelle (Inger Lise Skoe. Parfymelle har 3 veldig hyggelige damer som bytter på å være i butikken, og alle er veldig hyggelige. Det andre heter Maxim og er drevet av ei dame som heter Anne Lise. Jeg har vært innom flere ganger, og får helt topp service. Anne Lise er ei kjempehyggelig dame,- og vi diskuterer klær og sminke akkurat som hun gjør med hvilken som helst annen kvinne som er innom. Hun finner frem vareprøver på kremer/parfyme etc. til meg, og kommer med råd og vink. I det hele tatt så føler du deg velkommen. Klesbutikken ved siden av Maxim Parfymeri heter Carma, og her finner du mange forskjellige kvalitetsmerker. Bra kvalitet som nok gjennspeiler seg i prisen på klærne. Har også vært innom Modellakademiet til Gerd Ordal i Oslo. Her snakket jeg med to veldig hyggelig damer som heter Maria Knutsen og Mona Fallentin. Hadde på forhånd bestilt time for å se på gode dekk-kremer. De holder forøvrig kurs i sminke og stilanalyse etc. Nå har jeg vært på sminkekurs hos Maria og Mona og det kan anbefales på det sterkeste. Fikk med meg ett skjema hvor de hadde satt opp de fargene som ble brukt på make-up'en som de la. I tillegg satte de opp forslag til andre farger jeg kan bruke både på skygge, rough, lipliner og leppestift. NB:Maria G. Knutsen har nå i løpet av høsten 2003 sluttet hos Gerd Ordal og begynnt for seg selv. Har du lyst på sminkekurs, farge/stilanalyse, brilleanalyse,shoppingassistanse,garderobeplanlegging etc. så ta turen innom Maria i Nedre Slottsgate 9 i Oslo. Her vil du bli tatt godt imot av ei flott, hyggelig og dyktig dame som ønsker alle velkommen. Se linken hennes litt lengere ned på siden. Håper dette var noen tips på veien, og ha en hyggelig handle/shopping tur.
