Speaking strictly of crossdressing as an activity and not the overall trans umbrella concept this holiday weekend got me thinking about traveling. I think most of us crossdressers obviously enjoy the activity and think of it as fun. Anticipation is a big part of that fun for me so a crossdressing plan helps the process
I have always had a fascination with the older vintage hotels built in the early part of the 20th century. It started I think when I visited the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. I can’t be positive but that is my earliest memory of being exposed to that form of elegance. I have added a new page to my website where I will be featuring some of the vintage hotels I have stayed at on my crossdressing adventures.
Typically my crossdressing Sundays are rare even when I don’t have anything planned for the next day. Sometimes I just prefer to hang out as Duke even if I plan to go shopping for Micki. It’s nice to wake up without a plan and see what develops as the day progresses. This month one of my sisters from CHIC was staying in town Sunday night after our club meeting Saturday night. That created an opportunity for us to go out three nights in a row.
I had not attended a CHIC meeting since last February so was long overdue and last Saturday I attended the meeting at La Traviata in Long Beach California. Long Beach crossdressing is very comfortable for me there and where I go safe.
Attending monthly CHIC meetings always involves some Friday B4 fun on the town. I have not been to Nico’s for a long time so was very much looking forward to going there. It has been a favorite for many years always providing a safe friendly environment for me and my friends.
There are many similarities in the way women and crossdressers approach eye makeup. We pretty much both are constantly searching for ways to improve our presentation and are open to experimenting. I am reasonably happy with my crossdresser eye makeup routine but recently made a discovery that I have incorporated into it. Some years back I used Laura Mercier cake eyeliner mixed with water and a flat brush dabbing it in between my eyelashes. It does a great job of defining your eyes but the technique can be tricky and if you blink it gets into your eye creating a mess. You end up using Q Tip to get the black liner out of the corner of your eye.
It has often been said that every crossdresser that goes out in public dressed as a woman is an ambassador representing our community. I completely agree and have enjoyed many wonderful conversations over the years with people I have met while dressed. The members of my crossdressing club CHIC called it outreach which we did…
With TG Rocktober 2024 still fresh in my mind I thought I would pass along a couple crossdressing tricks I discovered recently. I have added them to my routine and am very happy with the results. The 1st one is high heels which are uncomfortable if worn for long periods with pain and swelling in your feet. I wear 3 1/2 and sometimes 4 inch heels and have found various was to stretch them in order to make them more comfortable. Last year I started experimenting with switching to a wide width instead of medium and found them to be far more comfortable.
The party started at 9 PM when the doors to the Troy Bar opened for business and the ladies of TG Rocktober sashayed into the balcony. I made a quick trip to the ladies room to get it out of the way before the crowd arrived. When I got to the balcony entrance I showed security my wristband and they showed me in. The music across the street was beating away providing the party vibe for the night.
Saturday is the final day of TG Rocktober and the climax of the event is the Troy Bar party overlooking Freemont street from the private balcony. The only TGR event planned during the day is the afternoon trip to the Bellagio for a group photo then on to downtown for the big party at the Troy nightclub.
