Posted by Admin in Oh those crazy Oregonians! Oregon has elected this country’s first transvestite Mayor, in the small city of Silverton.
Stu Rasussen says he enjoys wearing heels, dresses, and a long, red wig. He doesn’t intend to have a sex change operation or anything, he just likes to dress as a woman. Eh… fair enough! Ha ha, I mean, if he makes the town happy as mayor, I’d assume he could wear whatever the hell he wants!
In the 90′s he served two terms as mayor in another small town near the state’s capitol, Salem. Back then, he was campaigned as a man, dressed male, etc.. It was just this recent election that he actually campaigned as a transvestite. He’s very open about it and very pleased that the town has accepted him. He has also said that he is a straight man and has a girlfriend.
You know what I say? To each it’s own, man. I really don’t care what people are doing, as long as it’s not negatively effecting me or too many people, because who knows what someones reasons are for doing or liking something. We aren’t them, we don’t know their experiences, and I think this country needs to accept people’s differences more. I mean, we like that the U.S. is a “melting pot,” yet if someone has a viewpoint that doesn’t necessarily coincide with theirs, they snap! Ha, or that’s at least been my experience from a lot of people =) Oh well, you go, Stu!!!

My dad actually lived in that town,and I visited pretty often, so I saw the guy (up close)wearing a halter top, skirt, and high heels.It was very strange to me since he had bigger boobs than my stepmom and I put together…and a mans voice to go along with it all…
Hi! I need to learn more about taking good photos, both digital and with a Canon EO5 Rebel G11, to showcase my textile artwork. I have some trouble with getting good quality when I upload to my website although the same images might print out fine and turn out excellent on paper. I’m somewhat confused about pixel sizes, perhaps that is in a later lesson. I uploaded some of my other images (landscapes, things) to sell on a website but they were rejected because of Reason: Blurry: Image is not very crisp or is blurred when viewed at full size. Also Reason: Artifact Problems: Noise/Grain/Chromatic or other artifacts due to low light, blue or purple fringing, high ISO, over-sharpening or post processing techniques. How do I correct these issues? I mostly let the camera autofocus when I take closeups and also when outside. Thank you for your great lessons!
