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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Perspective and Pinball at Fantasia

The Fashion Show is one of the two events with some buzz at the Fair. They are open to the public, and the townsfolk lap it up! Both raise money for local charities.
I have commented last year, and it bears repeating, that the girls in the Fashion Show get a rare thrill – to be [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Outed at the Airport

You think you have prepared for all eventualities, and then it happens…
I have done my best during the time I have been crossdressing to separate my real identity from Janie’s.
But, apparently, all it takes is some stupid airline gate agent who has nothing better to do at 5 o’clock in the morning than to announce [...]

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 [...]

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 ofmixing 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 real [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
