Goodbye Fantasia for Another Year

Our Fantasia experience was winding down, and it was time to say goodbye to those who weren’t going back to the hospitality suite, including my potential guitarist for next year’s Follies. The club started playing some 1980s disco to close out the night, tunes like Celebration, You Make Me Feel Mighty Real, Hot Stuff, [...]

After the Follies

After the show, we congratulated our friend – a local who does a terrific impression of Phyllis Diller – and some of the other acts on their performances. I know what a high it can be after a show, being the center of attention and all.

But seriously, there was free food over at the [...]

Lobster Done Right and then The Follies

Before dinner, we stopped by the port and cheese spread that the hotel has put out every day and we have missed every day. There were still people there, but no wine and no cheese. Missed it again!

We met one of the Fair organizers there – a girl who had strongly suggested last [...]

Dinner for Four

On our way to dinner, we met up with a couple of the Fantasia stalwarts in the hotel bar. They were enjoying a quiet drink but we struck up an easy conversation and could have talked for hours if not for the fact that we had to get ready for dinner. I didn’t [...]

Pre-Halloween Party No. 2

…continued from Pre-Halloween Partying

Our next stop was a Kink-Fetish Halloween Party held at a local swingers club. Here, that means that, well, you don’t have to find a hotel room…

Again, it was quite dead – somewhat appropriate for Halloween, I guess, if you think about it…

Interestingly, I don’t think I have seen that many [...]

Pre-Halloween Partying

T’was the night before Halloween,
And all through the town,
So many parties
But attendance was down.

Could be the weather
Or fear of the flu,
Was plenty of room
On the dancefloor for you.

But you didn’t come
And neither did she,
So instead, hear what happened
From li’l ol’ me!

I know I’m going to get a Pulitzer for that one!
Anyhoo, we interrupt my Fantasia [...]

Coming Clean

This is supposed to be my week of R&R, and half-way through I’ve still not remotely caught up on my sleep. I tend to need close to 8 hours generally, but for some reason I’m waking up after about six.
The multiple coffees and cocktails might have something to do with it, I guess.
With the Fashion [...]

Cycle of Support

Our new lesbian friend finally got her wish – she had wanted to propose to her girlfriend at a karaoke bar in town in front of everyone, and finally the girlfriend relented and agreed to go.
Naturally, they invited us along.
When we got there, they made a beeline for the bar to get more liquid courage [...]

He’s a Lying, Cheating Homo

Continuing my story from last night, our lesbian friend did manage to propose to her belle, and near as I could tell, the answer was yes. I say this because champagne was offered around and I saw them hugging. But she still didn’t seem satisfied for some reason…
She also was still perplexed by my existence [...]

Social Butterfly

Friday at Southern Comfort got a lot more crowded. By now, the sight of a massive group of t-girls seems more normal than not…

I spent a while at Starbucks, finding out how far behind in my emails I had fallen and trying to write up some of my experiences.

I was hoping to get some [...]

Friends Old and New

We’ve just returned to our room from a two-hour talk with a fascinating older couple from Texas.

It’s amazing the type of people you meet at this place. It was pointed out to me that crossdressers are, in the vast majority, successful and educated people. The time and thought and open-mindedness required to be [...]

A Girl’s Good Name

I have been deliberating lately about posting risqué photos of myself online. Why? Why not?

It is funny that some t-girls use the fact that they look unlike their true selves and have a made-up name as license to behave in a way that they truly might be ashamed of. Of course it [...]

Over-Anxious

A recent encounter with a man reminded me of my own past difficulties – in another life – dating women. Now that I get to see things from the other side – her side – I really have to sympathize with both players in the dating dance.

Long ago, I was, as he and so [...]

Well, I Never!

“I’m beginning to wonder whether all of the things I love about you are Janie!”

That’s what my girlfriend said to me today. I don’t know whether to be insulted on behalf of the guy who’s been in this relationship for a very long time, or happy that she loves my girl side.

There [...]

Why Post Pics?

Why do we t-girls take pictures and why do we post them online?

I read a posting about this topic on a friend’s blog, and my comments there are substantially reproduced here.

Taking Pictures

I don’t think I am alone in saying that when I put on women’s clothes I am trying to create the woman that the [...]

Bitchy Computer

I am sooooo frustrated with this stupid machine, so I’m venting and you get to be my good listeners. Thanks so much for being there for me.

Like many other girls, I just need a patient and understanding friend to hear me and empathize with my feelings, and not necessarily, or even usually, someone to [...]

Night of the Piranha

As I said in the previous post, the last of the major evening events for our Las Vegas week was a takeover of the entire VIP section of the Piranha Club.

The club surprised us by welcoming us with a huge poster. That was nice!

It was the full VIP experience, with three private rooms, lit [...]

Fetish Night – Power Exchange

After a lovely day at the pool and a few hours in between, we arrived at the suite for the start of Fetish Night.

Ca…..thump!!!

The place was dead! We weren’t as late as usual, but there were about 20 people there and no noise, no buzz… dead!

I was a little surprised and disappointed, since I [...]

Lingerie Party Night

Starting with Wednesday, the mornings were lost due to the fact that bedtime became ever closer to dawn with each passing night.

We did some shopping, especially at the mall at the Planet Hollywood (formerly the Alladin). There’s a Bettie Page story there, with 1940s inspired fashions, and I had to try almost everything on! [...]

Finding my WildSide

I have been back from Las Vegas for two weeks now, and somehow haven’t managed a report on the fabulous week I spent there.

I didn’t really know what to expect when I finally met up with these Wildside gals. The main reason I chose this group is that they seemed a lot more fun [...]

Mile High Club

Well, I finally did it! I flew on a plane! I put on my pink mini-skirt and respectable heels and a t-shirt and went to the airport. I figured, if I was going to fly as a girl, I might as well look unmistakably as one, so I ditched my original plan [...]

The Beach Towns

Duuuuuuude!!!!

I went out to the beach town of Ocean Beach to see the beach and eat at Hodad’s.

It is incredibly cold for a 75 degree day on these coastal towns, and a fair-skinned lass like myself can find herself burned to a crispy red without ever feeling much heat! So, I took the precaution [...]

First Taste of San Diego

Ooohh, so many possibilities here in San Diego. I’ve just arrived for my very first visit here and it’s Cinco de Mayo!

I’m at Starbucks reading a few tourist magazines, plotting my next move.

Obviously there are parties to go to, but do I go shopping in the malls, sunning on the beaches, play tourist at [...]

San Francisco Pit Stop

Hey, all!

I am starting my long journey that will take me to Las Vegas, and my first quick stop is San Francisco. I have a few hours between flights, so I zipped into the city for a few hours rather than cool my jets at the airport.

I picked the Mission District cuz I do [...]

Viva Las Vegas, Baby!

Ahhh! Mid-May is round the corner… the time when the sun is shining, the first blooms are sprouting in the Great White North… and trannies descend on Las Vegas! (I first wrote about this in Viva Las Difference!)

For a decade or so, a group calling itself Diva Las Vegas (www.geekbabe.com/dlv) has [...]
