PORTLAND CROSSDRESSER ROAD TRIP
I was as usual over dressed for the occasion but I think given the theme of the hotel I should be looked at as an example of properly attire for a lady in the hotel.

SUMMER CROSSDRESSING
For many crossdresser’s summer means presenting a fuzzier version of your girly self. Most of us opting for pants to cover your legs instead of skirts. For a married crossdresser shaving sometimes it is not optional and it is best to comply. Crossdressers shaved legs might not bother the crossdresser but wives have very valid concerns. Bare legs would be obvious and she would probably decline invitations for BBQ’s and other outdoor activities. That is not fair to her not to mention if kids are involved.
Wearing Pants
Depending where you live the summer might only last a couple of weeks and then you can go back to your smooth hairless look. Trust me your lady will really appreciate it. Besides most women these days are wearing jeans or some other form of long pants so this is your chance to look CHIC.
In my case she is not the one who decides my stopping shaving my legs and other areas. I am an outdoor person and enjoy outdoor sports and other activities during the summer months. I want to enjoy myself without being concerned about people noticing my crossdresser shaving legs.
Don’t get me wrong I think about crossdressing the whole summer. That is why when the weather cools and the days grow shorter there is a little bounce in my step that turns into a sway once the heels go on. I usually have a little coming out party sort of by taking a trip to San Francisco for a couple of days shopping. Immersion therapy I call it after my summer dry spell.
For those who share my situation cheer up it won’t be too much longer and can still shop online during summer.
Counting down with you,

FEMININE CURVES FOR CROSSDRESSER’S
I must admit to a greater sense of confidence in my appearance when wearing the Veronica 6 when out at more public places like restaurants and events.
Fox Caitlyn Jenner Interview April 24th
Monday April 24th Caitlyn Jenner Crossdresser will be on the Tucker Carlson show at 8:00pm.
I will be watching to see how Tucker approaches this subject on his inaugural show. Also to see former crossdresser Caitlyn Jenner answers now that she is post op.
Caitlyn’s decision to transition is her business and I hope she finds happiness in life.
Transgender Labels
What concerns me is something she may not have any control over unless she specifically addresses it. That is her being a spokesperson for the Transgender Community. This I fear is the easy route for the media. Caitlyn is definitely the most recognized Trans person in the world. Simply put her story is not everyone’s story. I hope that they don’tconveniently list me under the Transgender label.
There are many of us with no interest in Transsexual SRS. Many have put our crossdressing in a place where it is working for us. We are heterosexual crossdresser’s most married with family’s who dress one or two times a month. I hope they mention the different groups under that Transgender label.
I have seen many positive changes as a result of Caitlin’s going public. One is a generally more acceptable feeling toward crossdressers with the public. People seem to have a more accepting attitude towards me when I am crossdressed in public. When transgender is the topic people are more positive aside from the women’s bathroom issue.
Maybe they think we are all former Olympic Gold medalists? NOT!
If it was somehow up to me to decide who should be the official spokesperson for the crossdresser community. I can think of no better representative than Caitlyn Jenner. I might not agree with every position she may take but I think she is doing good things for the community.

MOBILE WIGS
Crossdressers going to Diva Las Vegas 2017 and taking a wig or wigs might find this interesting. It comes from the late Jo Ann Roberts about 20 years ago. Shoe boxes help keep crossdresser wigs from getting squashed while packed in your suitcase. All you need is a plastic shoe box from any Home Depot type store that sells closet organizing stuff.
Packing
Mine measure 14 x 8 x 4 but if you wanted to put two or more wigs into one box you could increase the size but, I would not recommend that.
Remove a crossdresser wig from the head stand holding it from the hairline in one hand. Place your other hand inside the wig to support it.
Place a kitchen trash bag over it so that one of the bottom corners of the bag is directly over the top of the wig.
Set the bag on a table pulling your arm out carefully then curl the excess bag around itself gently letting the air out.You must deflate it so it will fit in the shoe box.
If done correctly when removed the wig will look just like it did when it was on the head stand. The box has sufficient room it it that the wig does not get crushed while traveling.
When you arrive at your destination remove the wig from the box and bag. Place it on a collapsible stand as pictured or another option is just to buy 1 quart sodas.
Yet another option is use wine bottles but then you have to hold the wig in one hand while drinking with the other. We blondes have trouble doing that many things at once. Especially in front of a mirror!

CROSSDRESSING 101 FOR THE BEGINNER
Crossdressing 101 is a new page on the Micki Finn website that should be of interest to new crossdressers. T Girls just venturing out or thinking about it will find it helpful. I could not remember any website pages over the years that addressed the beginning crossdresser. Wannabe crossdressers with absolutely no experience in dressing up not knowing where or how to start.
Remembering all of the trial and error mistakes I personally made trying to figure it all out. The huge cost of those experiments along with the disappointment with the bad outcome. The wigs that made me look like I had a poodle on my head in one case and a vampire in the next. The dress that made me look like a parade float. I thought it would be a great help for beginners to avoid all of the fun and fast track their way to being beautiful.
WHY
Why is something that I am trying to explain in the Crossdressing 101 page. Thy why is more important than the how because properly applying the wrong foundation the correct way will produce bad results. Even if you followed the instructions perfectly you were doomed from the start. This is especially true with eye shadow where women and crossdressers put on a shade they see on someone else. The why in eyeshadow is to make your eyes more attractive sometimes dramatic. It should compliment your hair and skin tone. Blonde hair with blue eyes looks best with brown shades or shadow which highlight the eye color. Blue eyeshadow looks terrible on blondes or pretty much anybody. People see the blue eyelid and lose the eye all together. Jaclyn Hill is my favorite source when it comes to eye makeup.
CROSSSDRESSING 101 is aimed at the beginner but should be informative for everyone and possibly it be helpful t the old pro’s also.
I hope you enjoy it and let me know if I missed something.

LADYLIKE FEMININE CURVES
Feminine curves are easy now days because there are many products out there to choose from and of course I have a favorite.

The Pads
I use gel pads by Classic Curves International made by my old friend Espy Lopez. Gel pads are heavier than the foam pads but are far better and more realistic. They are very durable and I have had mine of 15 years. 
People make the mistake of lifting them up and then thinking they are heavy and will slide down. They think you will need to pull them up all night. I can tell you that I have never had one issue with them moving at all wearing them day and night.
Holding them in
Wearing either Spanx or some other shaper and sometimes panty hose over my pads works best for me. I insert the pads inside positioning them where I want them. Then I wear a an all in one shaping slip from Magisculpt that has the bra built in.
I crisscross the straps so that they don’t slide down all night. Turning the garment inside out before putting it on works best. Wearing the pads in my pantyhose I hold the slip upside down and inside out with the bra in front just above my toes. Holding on to the hem I step in and pull it up my legs to about mid thigh. I then pull the bra portion over the hem making the garment right side in. Using the bra straps to pull it all the way up sliding my arms through them like the picture above. The shaping slip maintains constant horizontal pressure on the pads keeping them exactly where you put them. You can adjust the pads if needed to have a smooth feminine shape. I am not even aware I have them on.
Because the slip extends down your leg to upper thigh and the material is rigid enough that it eliminates your boy bulge up front.
When I wear pants I just roll up the slip enough to get them on and work the boy bulge problem another way in necessary.
Gel pads are more expensive at about $300.00 a set but if I divide that by 15 years the cost me $20.00 per year.
Check them out I think you will like Espy’s Classic Curves Gel Pads.
Breast Forms
For my breasts I use the tear drop breast form from Supergel Products which are made from a similar gel material to the hip pads. The are very reasonably priced around $100.oo per pair because you are buying from the manufacturer.
