Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving, and I think it does me a lot of good to stop and consider all of the wonderful things in my life for which I am thankful, and to acknowledge how generous and wonderful people have been to me.
Sure, things can always be better – fill in whatever is on your personal [...]

Dancing at the Club

Believe it or not, this club was fun… as you can see from the photos, I pretty much had the dancefloor to myself late at night, but the fact is that the action in this club was elsewhere by that time, if you get my drift.
     
This one gal came out – [...]

Naked Before the Camera

There are all sorts of ways of exposing yourself, some erotic, some embarrassing (some both!), some philosophical, some illegal… but most do carry some risk – either physical or emotional.
Psychiatrists have made a living off the question of why we feel some form of shame about our bodies, and many have blamed the whole thing [...]

I’ve Got a New Tool

Looking at the title – which was innocently drafted – it strikes me that the most benign of phrases can contain vulgar sexual innuendo.  Oh, well!
The actual point of this blog post is to try out Windows Live Writer, the program with which this is being written.  I wonder how this will turn out and [...]

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 [...]

Wardrobe Problem

(Getting back to Provincetown and Fantasia Fair)

The next day, I got up with a wardrobe problem. I really had nothing appropriate to wear for this couples’ dinner we were now invited to. We seemed to bring so much more stuff than for Atlanta, but somehow we had so much less! Weird!

A local [...]

Naughty HallowQueen Nurse

I am going back to writing about Fantasia Fair here, but I have lots to show and a little to say about Halloween, so please visit my slightly racier blog NaughtyCDJanie, where you can find everything about my 2009 Halloween experience.

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 [...]

Lobster Pot on the Beach

Tranny Week aside, Provincetown is a wonderful place. A small town on the Cape, with beaches and shops and a nice warm feel.

Among its charms is the seafood, and one of the standard-bearers in this regard is the Lobster Pot.

We went there thinking we’d have dinner, but the menu was a bit overwhelming so [...]

Infiltrating the Mainstream

I turned on the television this morning to a program called “TV Made Me Do It” and they were telling the story of a guy who dresses like a woman in order to add flamboyance to his life, and who wanted to try to sell a house dressed in a wild dress and 6-inch platform [...]

Gala Day at Southern Comfort

Big things were planned for Saturday, but it mostly ended up being a quiet day for me.
The pool party was confined indoors when the rains came back. This meant many people in a small, chlorine-smelling, humid area. Needless to say, I didn’t stay long – only long enough for a photo op.  (click to enlarge)

That [...]

Robin – the Gurl Wonder

In my last post, I started talking about Friday, but got lost and never found my way back.

The night’s event was a cocktail party and dinner with a heroes and heroines theme. We were asked to dress up as superheroes, but on a more serious note, to honor the real heroes that have touched [...]

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 [...]

Atlant-is

Like the legendary Atlantis, the modern Georgian city of the ironically similar name finds itself largely under water these days.

No joke this predicament… several people have died and property losses are substantial. Schools were closed today as authorities tried to catch up to the problem, and a state of emergency was declared.

And, for a [...]

All Mixed Up

Y’know, I have always been one to want to keep my male and female sides separate. There is much to discuss on the merits or demerits of mixing genders – feminine masculinity and masculine femininity – but I’ll leave those for another time.
Right now, I am talking about my personal efforts 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 [...]

Ya Gotta Tell

A fellow blogger recently asked her audience for ideas on how to tell her fiancée about her crossdressing. The sense I got from the post was that she was looking forward to her fiancée’s absence – going away to school – because it would allow more dressing opportunities. They have been together for [...]

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 [...]

You’re Fabulous but I Can’t Help Forgetting You

The last of the major evening events for our Las Vegas week was a takeover of the entire VIP section of the Piranha Club. But first, there was the matter of dinner. And what better place for a group dinner for a collection of out-there t-girls than Liberace’s?

I knew where we were going, [...]
