Phyllis Rogers (nee Stiegelmeier) is an unlikely friend of the transgender + community. + 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.
+Phyllis grew up in the East Coast retail industry. 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!
+A desire to help others is a common thread in Phyllis's life. 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.
+Family life and children led to yet another career. What hasn't 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?
+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 Majestic Hearts Pageantry, taking over as the pageant's owner when its founder + passed away, and continues to be a guiding light in the community.
+Phyllis is a connoisseur of fashion and glamour. 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 your 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!
+Phyllis, you go, girl!
+Phyllis and her girlfriends are often out in various places in the community...and she can + take you along, too! Here's some examples of places you can find us.
