<p><strong>Phyllis Rogers (<i>nee</i> Stiegelmeier) is an unlikely friend of the transgender
community.</strong>
Most in the community are either transgendered or have a friend or family member who is. Phyllis came
into the community in a whole new way. After a chance meeting with a crossdresser at a local restaurant,
with whom she became fast friends, Phyllis was invited out one evening to meet others in the community.
Ironically, like all of us, she was apprehensive her first night out. She feared the community might
not be accepting of a straight woman. Boy, was she wrong! "I found everyone to be extremely friendly
and receptive to my being in one of their clubs. In fact, in a very short time, I found myself making a
number of really great friends," says Phyllis of those first few evenings out.</p>
<p><strong>Phyllis grew up in the East Coast retail industry.</strong> From the age of 12, she worked in
department stores owned by her father. Even at that young age, she loved to help people find just the
right outfits, and always looked forward to accompanying her father to the garment district in New York
City where he would buy clothes for his stores. She often got to choose an outfit for herself on those
trips. Which wasn't easy, because she wanted everything she saw. Oh, sacrifices!</p>
<p><strong>A desire to help others is a common thread in Phyllis's life.</strong> She spent many years in
the medical field as a registered medical assistant and an x-ray technician. But her passion for glamour
and yearning to dress up and go out on the town could not be repressed. Sound familiar? So she traded
her white uniform and oxfords for a sequin gown, feather boa and sexy high heels. Career change time!
For the next few years Phyllis indulged her fantasies dancing in the clubs of Los Angeles, Reno and
Denver.</p>
<p><strong>Family life and children led to yet another career.</strong> What <i>hasn't</i> this woman done?
Phyllis had always wanted to be self-employed...and, if you know Phyllis, she usually goes after what she
wants. So was born her new business, Computer Media, which sold hardware, software and supplies. This
business, while very profitable and successful, had kept the girl locked away in her home office, like a
wardrobe of lovely dresses, make-up etc. secured in a footlocker or old golf bag hidden away from the
world in a garage or basement. Sound familiar again?</p>
<p>During this time, while getting a gown altered, a seamstress and designer asked Phyllis to model in a
fashion show. Once again, her desire for fashion and glamour was appeased. From 1860s ballgowns to modern
formal wear to lingerie, the glamour woman was in her glory. Soon after, the inevitable happened.
Phyllis became a fashion consultant, selling the wonderful, sensual lingerie, dresses, skirts and outfits
she had previously just been modeling. Presently, in order to meet the unique needs of the transgendered
person, she continues to add wonderful new products to her line. Along the way, she became involved
with <strong>Majestic Hearts Pageantry</strong>, taking over as the pageant's owner when its founder
passed away, and continues to be a guiding light in the community.</p>
<p><strong>Phyllis is a connoisseur of fashion and glamour.</strong> But she's also an understanding,
accepting and caring woman. All her life, she has worked hard at perfecting her own look; now, her
passion is to help you find <i>your</i> look. Along with all of the above, you now have the opportunity
to experience your new look with fantasy photos. And Phyllis knows very well how scary a first night
out can be. That's why she offers her accompaniment on your first big night out. She knows the hot
spots where you can feel at ease, have dinner, dance and meet other wonderful people like yourself!</p>
<p><strong><i>Phyllis, you go, girl!</i></strong></p>
