Indeed, LA, it sounds very much like the changes I've made with my girl. After enough eyebrow plucking sessions, she decided she would much rather get them waxed at the salon, lol. Teaching her to put make-up on, however, was much more of a challenge. Having no practical experience of my own, and not willing to turn it over to a professional, I found myself expanding my knowledge of cosmetology.
My best friend in my early 20s was a make up artist. He was also the most beautiful drag queen. He and I would get decked out and go to straight bars, make out a wee bit, nothing obsene (we were both bi) and hunt for boys. He got hit on more then me.
Anyhow, he taught me everything I know about applying make up ;)

My problem isn't that toy was nagged, however, but that her mother wasn't a girlie-girl either so she had no role-model. The cross-dressing parallel has occurred to me, also. I'm still not quite certain how one goes about teaching a woman to walk in heels. My first thought is that simple practice will suffice. Any thoughts?

When it comes to heels, practice does make perfect. You could have her walking:
- on carpet at first, then moving to floors - ceramic tiles is the hardest surface to walk in heels on
- with a wider heel to start with, going down to a thiner heel progressively
- with a pump or boot first, then gradually moving to strapy shoes
- in front of a mirror - it's not just about getting from a to b but getting there graciously
- with a book on one's head will help with posture
Eventually, it will become second nature.
I also found these excellent tips on this site - http://www.ehow.com/how_16007_walk-high-heels.html
1. Step with your heel down first, then let the sole follow quickly and smoothly.
2. Walk with your toes pointing straight ahead or as close to straight ahead as possible.
3. Swing your arms as you walk for balance.
4. Keep your legs straight, close and parallel.
5. Take smooth, even steps; consider shortening your stride a bit.
6. Avoid walking on ice, slush, mud, grass, sand, gravel and grated surfaces, on which you can slip or sink. When in doubt, take off your heels and carry them across such questionable surfaces in your bare feet.
Tips:
When climbing stairs, make sure both sole and heel land together firmly and simultaneously on each step. When descending stairs, only the sole of the shoe needs to be planted on each step.
Learning to walk in high heels is mostly a matter of practice.
Warnings:
While high heels can make your legs look better and longer, they can also wreak havoc on your feet, especially when worn regularly over long periods of time.
Avoid driving in high heels - you don't have quite as much control over the car, and you can damage the back of your shoe. Keep an extra pair of flats in your car, or consider driving barefoot.
Also, you might want to check out some advice given on this board not to long ago in a thread entitled High Heels for slaves/submissives
Hope this helps!
