For beginning Transvestites and Crossdressers.
Just a quick post today to tell you about the new addition to the VINTAGE HOTEL page on mickifinn.com. The newest hotel on the page is the famous Hollywood Roosevelt in Hollywood. The is a lot on the new page so I won’t duplicate it here and I hope you enjoy some of the history…
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
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.
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.
The only official TGR 2024 event item scheduled for Friday was a photo shoot with a professional photographer which I was not interested in doing. That left me a leisurely day with plenty of time to get ready for dinner which I was very much looking forward to for a couple of reasons. The first was I had reservations for 4 at 7 PM at Bistecca Steakhouse located in the Tuscany hotel.
Crossdressing party’s come in all sizes from 10 or so ladies gathering to celebrate one of their birthdays to hundreds socializing after dinner while attending a gender conference. Then there is the just a party crossdressing party which is my favorite like the La Bella 24 private event which was an elegant formal affair and my all time favorite.
We all have a crossdresser wardrobe even though some are more extensive than others, beginners with a few items while old hands a closet full of goodies. I am in the full closet category for several reasons first I have been at it for a long time and second I have a real problem getting rid of stuff. You know its getting bad when you have pry the clothes apart with a boat oar so you can hang more stuff.
My public exposure and confident crossdressing accelerated from the year 2000 to 2020 when our group started making regular trips to San Francisco. The level of acceptance I encountered from pronouns, to being invited by the Macys and Nordstrom sales associate to try on dresses in the fitting room. Everywhere we went we were treated like ladies and had a fabulous time taking my confident crossdressing to a new level but San Francisco was more accepting than most places.
The more adventures I log the easier they seem to come together and solitary crossdressing has some advantages that I really enjoy. After spending Friday night at the Craft Steakhouse and the comedy club Saturday night I went to familiar venue. The Bistecca Steakhouse at the Tuscany Suites hotel has become a must for me over the last year or so. The food is great and I am made to feel welcome each and every time I go there so solitary crossdressing is very comfortable. Kelli Perry and her TG Rocktober folks paved the way for me by having their event there each October so it is very crossdresser friendly.
