For centuries, women have had to hide excess facial hair and sadly bruises and similar dark marks, by using makeup. Suddenly Fem offers beard cover and it’s a must have make up item for all of you Dolls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You must remember that all store bought makeup, foundations and concealer’s are manufactured and designed with a woman's face in mind and will never cover medium to heavy beards, and will cover light beards only for a very short period of time.&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly Fem offers &lt;a href="https://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=13&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=43"&gt;beard cover &lt;/a&gt;that will give you the ultimate full coverage without a thick, dry, cakey, pasty look. Here are some quick tips for covering your beard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obtain the closest shave possible&lt;/strong&gt;! Start with a freshly washed face, and then moisturize. Shave using a moisturizing shaving cream and a double blade razor. Use a styptic pencil to stop the bleeding from cuts. Apply toner right after shaving and allow your face to dry for half an hour before applying the makeup needed to cover beard growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;With a pair of cuticle scissors, carefully trim all nose and ear hairs. Many crossdressers forget this, and even after you makeup is removed, having no visible nose or ear hair is just a good practice to get into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Apply a thin layer of lotion on your skin to protect it from the makeup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Put foundation/beard cover on your face and neck using a lightly dampened sponge wedge. Use a tissue to blot off the extra makeup and allow it to dry. Avoid applying the foundation/'beard cover too thickly because it will cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cover the bearded area using a makeup wedge and blend into the area around the beard. Apply more foundation over the top. Our &lt;a href="https://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=13&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=42"&gt;face cream foundations &lt;/a&gt;are perfect matches for our beard covers! You can use 2 or more tones of foundation to create contours on the face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dust on loose powder to make your face, especially the beard growth area, looks smooth. Use a powder puff to apply this makeup so you don't smear the foundation or concealer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-6861090947990523060?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2010/03/beard-covering-tips.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-2293903911152570934</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-03T13:30:00.304-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Cross Dress Imagination</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Sci-Fi Movies</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Avatar</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Cross Dressing Clothing</category><title>My Life as an Avatar</title><description>I don’t go to movies that much any more.  It’s so much easier to stay at home and program TIVO for the latest flicks.  But when I heard about “Avatar,” I heard that it really needed to be seen on the big screen (and in 3D) to be appreciated.  So I dragged a few friends to a screening at the famous Cineramadome in Hollywood.  (The Dome has been renovated and I haven’t been there in years. I love old Hollywood, so it’s great to see this old facility completely upgraded and state-of-the-art.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t want to do a movie review, but I really enjoyed “Avatar.”  It’s a non-stop thrill ride through some particularly effective and stunning animation.  And the depiction of the new world (Pandora) – and its flora and fauna – is very imaginative.  But the part that really got to me was the whole concept of inhabiting another body.  Something I’m sure most of us tgirls can identify with.  And if you’re already on Second Life, you can definitely relate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the film, an injured Marine named Jake takes a new job as an avatar on a strange planet.  His human body is inserted into a pod and he takes control of an alien avatar who enters a tribe of Pandora’s residents.  Jake’s job is to earn their trust and share secrets with his superiors.  The plot is very similar to “Dances with Wolves,” and in the end the Marine comes to admire the natives and their ways.  (He also falls head over blue heels in love with the chief’s spirited daughter.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any way, like I said, I don’t want to do a movie review.  But the avatar concept really got to me.  The idea of someone moving between two worlds.  The idea of inhabiting a totally different body.  The idea of living in someone else’s skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of that appeals to me.  &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/"&gt;Because that’s what I do all the time as a tgirl!&lt;/a&gt;  And I think the movie – without intending to – captures the exhilaration that occurs during a physical transformation. We see the hero try out his new body… his new capabilities and skills.  Sure, he’s not in heels for men or &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=7"&gt;crossdresser lingerie&lt;/a&gt;, but he is taller, thinner, stronger and faster.  And we get to see him test his new body much as a child does at different stages of development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much as I’m doing now.  Much as you’re probably doing now.  And I’m talking about something a little deeper than learning to walk in heels or sit in a tight corset.  I’m talking about inhabiting another life form and expressing that new personality physically.  In the way you walk.  In the way you gesture.  In the way you speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And do you feel the power?  In the movie, Jake’s avatar is fast and strong.  But it goes deeper than that with tgirls. I hate to quote the Spice Girls, but do you feel the Girl Power?  Let’s face it, in our society, in our tribe, girls have powers that men just don’t have.  And when used effectively, those skills and powers can have an amazing effect on others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others might be attracted to us… as friend or lovers… in ways that we never expected.  In ways that we never experienced before as males. We might be mythologized (as women often are), idealized into something we’re not.  We might find we’re able to get people to do things for us… from buying us drinks to holding doors open… to awful tasks like helping us move or driving us to the airport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can even make people fall in love with us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that’s where it gets scary.  That’s where you really have to do a reality check. The person you’re entering a relationship with might see the relationship as reality.  While you, if you’re honest, might see it on a more surreal level.  You might just be playing.  You might just be trying on the guise of a different personality.  But your potential lover is dealing with real life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that just isn’t fair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like Jake in the movie, you have to learn how to harness and control your new power.  Or risk hurting innocent people in the process.  And it ain’t easy.  This Second Life/Femme Life stuff is pretty intoxicating.  It’s easy to get carried away.  To get drunk on Girl Power. It gets confusing.  In the movie, Jake (in human form) comes to a realization… “Everything is backwards now,” he says. “Like out there is the true world and in here is the dream.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that’s the way I’ve been feeling lately.  Like I’m in the dream and it’s becoming my reality.  Like maybe I’m getting a little carried away with CiCi.  It’s like my life has switched over.  Where I was once a guy who dressed in &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=5"&gt;crossdresser clothes &lt;/a&gt;from time to time, now I feel like a cd who reluctantly has to be in boy mode a lot. Which would be fine if I was thinking of transitioning.  But I’m not.  I’m happy being a cd.  The trouble comes in when I forget that my wife, my extended family, and people like my boss at work are still living in the real world -- while I’m off on Tgirl Pandora.  And I don’t have to be dressed to be in CiCi mode any more to feel it.  I’m in CiCi mode in my head a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, again, that’s not fair.  Like an avatar, CiCi can’t get hurt in the same way that normal humans can. Because she’s often not emotionally invested in the same way that others are. In the movie, if an avatar gets hurt, the human in the pod merely wakes up and leaves the pod – without a scratch.  If you’re just playing at girl mode, it’s probably good to remember that not everyone is in on the game.  Not everyone is as invulnerable as you.  Not everyone is snuggled in the safety of the pod.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In tgirl world, we talk a lot about being careful.  About being safe.  It’s a dangerous world out there.  But what happens when the most dangerous thing out there – the thing that can cause the most pain, the thing that can do the most damage – is you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that old song, “Sunscreen,” the speaker says, ‘Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts.” And I think that’s pretty good advice on any planet.&lt;br /&gt;Take care out there!&lt;br /&gt;Be safe.  Be smart.  Be sexy!&lt;br /&gt;xoxo,&lt;br /&gt;CiCi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=7"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-2293903911152570934?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2010/02/my-life-as-avatar.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-4409983374361851971</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-01T12:55:35.197-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Valentines</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Cross Dresser Lingerie</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Cross Dressing Clothing</category><title>Celebrate Valentines’ Day with Suddenly Fem!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/uploaded_images/valentines-703817.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/uploaded_images/valentines-703815.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every February we celebrate Valentine's Day by giving flowers, candy and cards to those we love. We do this in honor of Saint Valentine. You may be wondering, "Who is this St. Valentine"? Time to brush up on your Valentine's history!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Legend has it that Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. There was an Emperor at that time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. With this thought in mind he outlawed marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base. Supposedly, Valentine decided this decree just wasn't fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine's actions he had him put to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another legend has it that Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his jailor's daughter. Before he was put to death he sent the first 'valentine' himself when he wrote her a letter and signed it 'Your Valentine', words still used on cards today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who is this cupid and what does he have to do with Valentines’ Day? Another valentine gentleman you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin cupido, "desire"). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that the U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide? This makes Valentines’ Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year, behind Christmas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps we'll never know the true identity and story behind the man named St. Valentine or Cupid but this much is for sure...February has been the month to celebrate love for a long time, dating clear back to the Middle Ages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not celebrate Valentines’ day by doing something for yourself or for your special someone! Purchase some &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=7"&gt;sexy lingerie&lt;/a&gt;, a new &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=7&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=20"&gt;gaff, panties &lt;/a&gt;or a great pair of &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=3&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=6"&gt;hosiery&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/"&gt;Suddenly Fem &lt;/a&gt;has so much to choose from for cross dressing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/"&gt;Suddenly Fem &lt;/a&gt;wants you to celebrate &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Valentines’ Day &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;with this special offer…&lt;/strong&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spend $100.00 and save $10.00 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Use code: &lt;strong&gt;Val10&lt;/strong&gt; ($10.00 Discount) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hurry this offer is only valid thru February 14th, 2010 and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;is only &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_detail.asp?ProductID=1872&amp;amp;ProductCatID=&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=&amp;amp;Search=val10"&gt;redeemable on-line at suddenlyfem.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Limit one coupon per order and cannot be combined with any other discounts or coupons&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_detail.asp?ProductID=1872"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-4409983374361851971?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2010/01/celebrate-valentines-day-with-suddenly.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-6256613065816515000</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-26T13:42:46.534-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Cross Dresser Lingerie</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>GLBT Equality</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Trans-gender issues</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Cross Dressing Clothing</category><title>T-World 2009.  The Year in Review</title><description>Okay, we touch on a lot of topics in this blog.  &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=7"&gt;Lingerie for men&lt;/a&gt;. Heels for men. Panties for men. &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=10"&gt;Hormones for men&lt;/a&gt;.  (Are you picking up a trend?)  But every once in a while I like to get a little serious and talk about things that are a little more global. Most news agencies do their “Year in Review” this time of year… so I thought I would too.  (But don’t worry, after this it’ll be right back to &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=5"&gt;crossdresser clothes &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=3&amp;ProductSubCatID=6"&gt;hosiery for men &lt;/a&gt;as usual!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what?  This was a pretty good year in T-World.  RuPaul had a hit TV show.  Propositions on gay marriage (while not successful) did bring gay and transgender issues into the national dialogue.  And the internet seems to have spawned an ever growing number of tgirl websites, support groups, and chat rooms.  I’ve said it before and I”ll say it again.  It’s a great time to be a T!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now don’t get me wrong.  I know it’s not all coming up roses out there.  T-World lost one of its most visible and inspiring personalities when transgendered sportswriter Christine Daniels took her own life in November.  And transpeople all over the world still fight ignorance, prejudice, and sometimes violence every day.  Then there are the more personal challenges associated with the transgender life.  Broken marriages.  Finished friendships.  Disowned children. Lost jobs. Lost promotions.  Daily insults.  Hurtful remarks in the media.  It’s not easy being queer!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there have also been some pretty amazing accomplishments in the trans community in the past 12 months. So I thought I’d review of few of them now – just in case you missed them.  I know I’m speaking to a pretty broad audience with this blog.  I know that these words are read by tgirls and cds, admirers and friends, drag queens and closet queens.  But no matter where you are on the transgender spectrum, I think you can appreciate the courage and honesty behind each of the accomplishments below.  These heroic individuals have challenged their communities, their national governments, their friends and families, and their own personal biases and feelings of low self-esteem – all for the simple right to be themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, this first item actually occurred in late 2008, but I thought I would include it any way.  In November of ‘08, the small town of Silverton, Oregon elected an openly transgendered politician as mayor – perhaps for the first time in the nation.  Stu Rasmussen had been active in Silverton’s local politics for over 20 years and he had been elected mayor twice before!  But this was the first time he ran for office after receiving breast implants and dressing as a female in public.  &lt;br /&gt;Rasmussen joked that because he was open about his dressing, he had “blackmail proofed himself.”  The campaign therefore concentrated on the issues at hand (and couldn’t more election campaigns use that kind of honsty and focus?).  Stephen Marc Beaudoin, a reporter for the Portland publication, “JustOut,” claimed that Stu never sought recognition for his dressing.  “He's interested in doing a great job for the community that he loves. The gender identity thing is just a total backseat thing."&lt;br /&gt;BTW… I used male pronouns to describe Stu because that’s what he uses to describe himself.  "I am a dude," he says. "I am a heterosexual male who appears to be a female."  I smile every time I read that quote.  And I wonder how many of our readers would describe themselves the exact same way!&lt;br /&gt;Another great story from a much younger tgirl came out of Virginia. In October of ‘09, The College of William and Mary crowned its first transgender homecoming queen, Jessee Vasold.  Jessee, who identifies as genderqueer, was announced at halftime of the homecoming football game (along with her court) and received an overwhelmingly positive response.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've only had people congratulating me,” Jessee said in an interview.  William and Mary is the second-oldest university in the U.S. and has no gender specifications for its homecoming queen.  Students who made nominations were simply asked to describe how the candidate exemplified Tribe pride.  And apparently Jessee fit the bill!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of Jessee’s family members were at the game to see her receive her honor, but she admits that while they are generally supportive, they were also a little uneasy about her decision to accept the award. 'They're a little hesitant about this,” she said. “But they realize that it's my choice to accept.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congratulations Jessee!  And maybe even more so, congratulations to the William and Mary student body for this landmark vote! As I have written before, I’m very curious to see how the younger generation handles issues associated with transgender life.  And stories like this give me hope! &lt;br /&gt;The last story I want to relate occurred in December, but actually started ten full years ago!  In December 2009, trans woman Marcela Romera was named by lawmakers as Argentina’s 2009 Woman of the Year! The honor was conferred by the Committee on Women and the Family in the lower house of the Argentine Congress.  The award recognizes Marcela’s 10-year court battle to have legal documents issued recognizing her identity as a woman.&lt;br /&gt;An artist and civil rights activist, Marcela is the vice president of Argentina’s Association of Transvestites, Transsexuals and Transgender Persons.  She says her award suggests that "no other person would have to wait 10 years or more in order to receive a national identity document with their name and gender identity."&lt;br /&gt;When I first read this news report, I was immediately struck by the length of Marcela’s court battle.  She’s been fighting for 10 years – and that’s approximately the length of time I’ve been dressing.  I feel like I’ve come a long way since the year 2000.  And to think that Marcela has been in and out of court that whole time just blows me away.  She’s been fighting all this time for the simple right to have her female name and gender published on her official ID.  A lot of ID photos end up looking like mug shots.  But what do you want to bet that Marcela’s smiling ear-to-ear on her ID! &lt;br /&gt;Congratulations to all of these very proud and confident tgirls.  I find each of these stories touching and inspiring.  And I marvel at the thought that these milestone moments are taking place all over the world among tgirls of all ages!  As I read over the short bio’s I’ve written, I realize that I could never do justice to the long battles and years of struggle (both public and intensely private) that each of these individuals has endured.  Breaking new ground isn’t easy.  But for some, like these brave souls, walking on the old ground just didn’t cut it.  &lt;br /&gt;By the way, if I’ve missed a particularly important moment in transgender news (and I’m sure I have), please feel free to add it in the Comments section below.  There’s nothing like an upbeat success story to re-inspire the gender rebel that lives inside each of us!  I’ll end this Year in Review with a nice quote from Marcela – Argentina’s Woman of the Year:  “I am what I am. The right of one person is the right of all.” &lt;br /&gt;Amen to that!  And Happy New Year to all of our readers!&lt;br /&gt;Be safe.  Be smart.  Be sexy!&lt;br /&gt;xoxo,&lt;br /&gt;CiCi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE:  As I was preparing to send this out, two more big stories hit the international news!  Geez, tgirl news is happening fast these days!  First of all, Pakistan became one of the first nations, if not the first nation, to recognize a third gender! According to news reports, the Supreme Court in Pakistan ordered the government to officially recognize a separate gender for Pakistan's hijra community, which includes transgendered people, transvestites, and eunuchs. The court told the federal government to allow people to identify as hijras when they register for a national identity card!  &lt;br /&gt;Then, not long after that bit of encouraging news, here in the States, President Obama appointed Amanda Simpson, a transgender woman, to be a Senior Technical Advisor to the Commerce Department. Considered to be the first openly transgender individual ever appointed by a president, Simpson has worked for over 30 years in the defense and aerospace industries, most notably at Raytheon.  A former military test pilot, she holds degrees in physics, engineering, and business administration.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-6256613065816515000?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2010/01/t-world-2009-year-in-review.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-6060439757289003799</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Jan 2010 04:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-03T23:23:21.730-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>crossdressing clothing  and lingerie video presentation</category><title>Crossdresser.com Behind the scenes video</title><description>Take a look at the process that goes into Every &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=5"&gt;crossdressing clothing&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=7"&gt;crossdresser lingerie &lt;/a&gt;, wig and jewelry style at Suddenly fem&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="360" height="240"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T_3vN-CkJK0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T_3vN-CkJK0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="360" height="240"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-6060439757289003799?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2010/01/crossdressercom-behind-scenes-video.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-6963843807622680194</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-14T12:12:15.144-05:00</atom:updated><title>Check Out Our New Blog! "Stay Alive!" By CiCi Kitten! Presented by Crossdresser.com The Crossdressing SUPERSTORE!</title><description>Twenty-six years ago this month, I found out I had cancer. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease in December of 1983 and I had to undergo a year of chemotherapy. (Two treatments a month for 12 months.) I did my final treatment on December 19th, 1984. Twenty-five years ago. So this is kind of an anniversary for me. I always hesitate to say I’m cured, because cancer has a way of coming back when you least expect it. But I can say that I’ve been cancer-free for twenty-five years. And to say that a lot has happened in my life in those 25 years is kind of an understatement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I earned my Master’s Degree. I moved to L.A. I sold a few screenplays. I married the coolest girl in the world. And I tried (I really did try!) to help raise my stepson. I’ve made some money, and I’ve also gone bankrupt. I drove cross-country a couple of times. I’ve snorkeled in the Keys, hiked in the Sierras, and sunned myself on the beaches of Maui. I’ve had lunch with Hollywood stars and drinks with pirates. I’ve met three billionaires. The cool girl left me. Then the cool girl came back. And, in the end, the cool girl stayed. It’s been quite a ride - certainly worth the year of chemo I had to endure. A mildly adventurous little life, but for the most part, fairly normal by most standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then I met CiCi. And started with &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/"&gt;crossdresser clothing&lt;/a&gt;. And that’s when everything kinda went off the rails. In a good way. I think. It probably sounds weird to hear me talk about CiCi in the third person. But that’s how I often think of her. She’s a part of me, I don’t deny that. But she’s also my creation. The embodiment of so many of my hopes and dreams and fantasies in &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=7"&gt;crossdressing lingerie &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;and wishes. If I had died back in ’83, I never would have gotten to know CiCi. And that would have been a real shame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually it would have been more than a shame. Because it would have meant I had lived my life without really living the life I wanted to live. (Did that make any sense?) So how are you doing? How’s your life going as we head into the second decade of the new century? Are you getting any closer to living the life you want to live? If not, believe me, I understand. This stuff is hard. But I have to say… the rewards are pretty awesome. For me, it’s good to be CiCi... even on a semi regular basis. And it’s really good to be alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in 1984, when I was going through chemo, there was a popular song by Big Country that really struck me. The song was, “In a Big Country,” and the chorus kept repeating the two-word phrase, “Stay alive.” I was pretty young back then and, like a lot of young people, I looked to pop songs and silly sitcoms for wisdom and inspiration. Actually, twenty-five years later I still look to pop songs and silly sitcoms for wisdom and inspiration. (Not a lot of progress there.) But it helped. I loved that song and the jangly way the band played their guitars to make them sound like bagpipes. Even now it makes me smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was sad to learn that the song’s composer, and the creative force behind Big Country, Stuart Adamson, took his own life in 2001. I wasn’t a huge Big Country fan, but I was pretty torn up when I heard that. Because that song had meant so much to me. That lyric had meant so much to me. It was so simple. It was so pure. “Stay alive.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I was sad when I learned that Stuart hadn’t taken his own advice. (BTW… a few years later, when tragedy struck New Orleans, the bands Green Day and U2 recorded a charity single to raise money for the flood victims. The song they chose was a song Stuart had written for his first band, The Skids. “The Saints are Coming.” Of course, by then, sadly, Stuart was no longer around to hear it.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why am I dragging this all up now? Why am I sharing this on a tg website? What meaning do I want my sisters-in-arms to take from all this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I honestly don’t know. Sometimes I sit down to write and the words flow and meaning comes. And sometimes it doesn’t. All I know is that once again the holidays are upon us. And, once again, I’m happy to be around to celebrate them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in ’84, I attended cancer support group meetings pretty regularly. My fellow patients did a lot to help me through that difficult year. But, unfortunately, most of them weren’t as lucky as me. Most of them are long gone now. Distant memories. But I like to take a moment at this time of year to think of them, to remember their many gifts to me, and to toast their memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then, once I’ve toasted the past, I like to toast my new friends. My present. Because, well, let’s face it.  The past is gone. And tomorrow is never promised. But today? Today is motherfucking mine. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So here’s to today. Here’s to friends past and present. And here’s to you, Stuart Adamson, wherever you are. It’s been twenty-five years since my last chemo treatment, and, after all this time, I’m still not expecting to grow flowers in the desert. But I can live and breathe. And the see the sun in wintertime. &lt;br /&gt;Stay alive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be smart. Be safe. Be sexy!&lt;br /&gt;xoxo,&lt;br /&gt;CiCi&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-6963843807622680194?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2009/12/check-out-our-new-blog-stay-alive-by.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-8798400515008579303</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-11T12:42:13.796-05:00</atom:updated><title>New Blog From CiCi Kitten "A Sly and the Family Stone Thanksgiving" Presented By Crossdresser.com The Crossdressing Superstore!</title><description>A Sly and the Family Stone Thanksgiving&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was young, Thanksgiving wasn’t really a big deal to me.  Sure, it was nice to hang out with relatives, eat a big meal, and watch some football.  But compared to Christmas?  Halloween?  Thanksgiving just didn’t rate.  It was usually fun, and it did mean a four-day weekend from school.  But as a kid, I don’t think I ever really got into the true spirit of the holiday.  The thankfulness part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then as I got older, I went through some pretty serious shit.  Some health problems.  And a lot people helped me out.  Suddenly I had some people I really wanted to thank.  I actually bought Thanksgiving Day greeting cards that year.  (Up until then, I don’t think I even knew that they made Thanksgiving Day greeting cards.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now – thankfully -- that’s all behind me. The health problems are over.  And my tgirl life has taken center stage in my emotional life.  But once again, I find myself with a lot of people to thank.  Don’t worry, I’m not going to list them all here.  But suffice to say there are a lot people out there (those i’ve met and those online that I haven’t ) who have inspired me, counseled me, supported me, and in general, shared with me &lt;a href="https://www.crossdresser.com/"&gt;regarding our lives as crossdressers &lt;/a&gt;(and all the drama and trauma that goes with that)!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m sure you could make a similar list.  Thanks (there’s that word again) to the active, vibrant online tg/cd community, girls like us no longer have to feel like we’re alone any more. And if we have questions – about anything from style to &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/"&gt;Crossdressing Wigs&lt;/a&gt; to make-up to feminization to going out to sex and dating – we have others to ask. Or to discuss things with.  And I’m really thankful for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some day, I’m going to write a complete blog about my wife. The affect that she’s had on me and my t-life is impossible to measure. Without her support, her openness, and her love, I honestly don’t know where I’d be.  But I do know that I’d be a lot less happy.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also know that not all of you have a significant other as involved and as supportive as mine. No one has to tell me how lucky I am in that area.  Believe me, I know.  (And I’m trying really hard not to screw it up!)  But there is some one in your life that you really need to thank.  Someone very special.  No matter who you are.  Or how far you’ve come in your journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to thank yourself.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because you’re the one who’s doing this.  Let’s face it.  In your life, there’s just you.  How cool if you’ve got wonderfully supportive friends and family or co-workers and employers.  But when you get down to it, the important things are up to you.  You’re the one who makes things happen.  Especially in t-world.&lt;br /&gt;Others may inspire you.  But what you do with that inspiration is up to you.  Others may counsel you.  But it’s up to you to take their good advice and act on it.  Others may support you and believe in you, but in the end, your happiness and satisfaction really comes down to your ability to believe in yourself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here in Southern California, we have some pretty good classic rock stations. And lately, it seems a certain Sly and the Family Stone song has been playing in pretty heavy rotation.  Even if you’re not familiar with Sly (or his family), you probably know the song.  It goes like this:  “I want to thank you for letting me be myself again.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that got me to thinking.  Who do I want to thank this year?  Who should I thank?  And I love the fact that he says, “Again,” at the end.  As if we were all “ourselves” at some time in the past and now we’re getting back to that.  Getting back to what’s true and what real.  Getting back to something we knew instinctively as a child.  And then spend the next years, trying to convince ourselves that we didn’t feel it.  That we never felt it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now we’re back on track.  Because, perhaps for the first time ever, I really am living life closer to the person I truly want to be. So I want to thank all of the people out there who are “letting me be myself.”  But the more I thought about it, the more I became convinced.  The person most responsible for letting me be myself… is me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that’s not because I’m some great person or someone who is emotionally evolved or anything.  (Believe me, I’m not.)  It ‘s just that no one else can allow me to be or do anything in life.  No one else can give me permission.  No one else can give me the strength.  All of this is up to me.  The successes.  The failures. The ambitions. The procrastination. The boldness. The cowardice.  It’s all up to me.  And, in your life, it’s all up to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is cool. Because that means it’s in pretty good hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this Thanksgiving, take a little break from the feasting and the festivities.  Be sure to thank your friends and family for all they do for you.  Thank the higher power of your choice for this gift called life.  Thank your tgirl sisters for their camaraderie.  But save the biggest thanks for yourself.  Because you’re doing it, girlfriend!  And no matter how much support you have, any tgirl will tell you that this ain’t easy.  It takes courage, inner strength, vision, and perhaps most importantly, the &lt;a href="https://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=13"&gt;ability to attach false eyelashes &lt;/a&gt;without the help of your reading glasses!  (Hey, that’s hard!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to all my friends and family out there.  But especially to me.  Thank you for letting me be myself.

And I always have. Let’s face it, most of the time as a kid, you don’t have much of an outlet for your creativity. Or a chance to truly express some of your &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=7&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=101"&gt;fantasies&lt;/a&gt;. Or to role play in public. &lt;wink&gt;But with Halloween… everybody got a free pass. Even the tough kids in school would begrudgingly throw on a sheet or a monster mask at the prospect of receiving a bag full of free candy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t know what it was like for you. But most of my ideas for really cool costumes never panned out. I was (and still am) prone to conjuring big ideas with very little talent to actually make those ideas a reality. Consequently, there were no lights or lasers on my robot costume. I was just a kid in a cardboard box. My version of a spider was nothing more than an old sweatshirt with a few extra sleeves sewn on. (Badly sewn at that.) And a lot of the time, my family’s efforts completely failed and we ended up wearing our parents’ oversized clothes – and went as bums or hoboes. (In retrospect, there’s something oddly ironic about dressing up as the homeless and going door-to-door to beg for food. But that’s a topic for another day.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s the thing. Back then, Halloween was strictly for kids. I don’t recall adults&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=5"&gt; dressing &lt;/a&gt;up. Ever. Sure, they did it on TV. On TV, parents were always going off to costume parties -- usually in ridiculously elaborate costumes that people like Mike and Carol Brady couldn’t possibly afford. (Especially with six kids, a dog, and a housekeeper to feed!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my town, even older kids didn’t participate. But that all changed when I got to college. When I was a freshman, my friends and I slipped on some simple masks and went down to the campus center. And what I saw was truly a revelation. The center was jammed. You could barely move. And everyone was in &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=6"&gt;costume! &lt;/a&gt;Most impressively, many were in very elaborate costumes. Entire fraternities and sororities seemed to have collaborated on a single concept. Art students went to town with their creativity. Engineering students seemed to have actually engineered their costumes! (Their robots really did have lights and lasers!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One costume I remember quite well was devised by a group of kids who dangled one of their friends – a violin player -- from the upper level of one building to the roof of a smaller building below. His violin was amped and he played as he danced for all to hear. He was, literally, The Fiddler on the Roof!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then, of course, there were the girls. OMG. You have to understand, I went to college in the northeast. It seemed to us guys that most of the time, the girls at our school were buried under huge sweaters and heavy parkas. But on Halloween, they wore… nothing! Or nearly nothing! (And this was on a very chilly October night!) They wore bikinis, leotards, and &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=7"&gt;lingerie.&lt;/a&gt; They dressed as total sluts. And they were proud of it! Unashamed. Uninhibited. They seemed to want to out-do each other in their nakedness and sluttiness! I don’t know what life is like on campus today. But Halloween was our version of “Girls Gone Wild.” And I loved every minute of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, Tina Fey’s movie, “Mean Girls” does a great job of describing Halloween in America today. The heroine of the movie, Lindsay Lohan, was home schooled in Africa. So she doesn’t know American customs. She shows up at a Halloween party dressed as a scary witch. And as it turns out… what seemed to be totally appropriate for a spooky holiday, was in fact totally inappropriate:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In the real world, Halloween was a time for little kids to dress up in scary costumes. In Girl World, it was the one night a year a girl could dress like a total slut and no other girl could say anything about it. The hard core girls just wore lingerie and some form of animal ears. Unfortunately no one told me this rule.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor Lindsay. She would have looked so hot in lingerie and animal ears!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now take Lindsay’s Girl World… and turn it into T-Girl World. In our circles, Halloween has been referred to as “National Coming Out Night,” “Trannies Night Out,” or “The Crossdresser’s National Holiday.” And it’s kinda true. My first night out was on Halloween. Years ago, with my unnaturally willing and accepting wife along for the ride, I went to L.A.’s fabled, “Queen Mary.” I dressed in boots and a miniskirt and a big dark wig. And, just to make sure I fit the Halloween code, I threw on a pair red devil horns and carried around a plastic pitchfork. (By the end of the night, my toes hurt so badly from my boots that I ended up using the pitchfork as a cane!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately for me, Halloween fell on a weeknight that year. My wife and I mistakenly assumed that L.A. would wait for the next Saturday night to celebrate. We were wrong. And we were the only ones in costume in the entire place. Of course, it didn’t really matter, we settled in, had a few drinks, and watched a pretty cool drag show on the main stage. (Geez, I miss the QM!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The night could have been a disappointment. It turned out to be anything but. I wish I had some great stories to tell. No lusty flirtations in the rest room. No getting pulled over by the cops. No being dragged up on stage to “lip sync for my life.” And yet, in many ways, it was one of the most important nights of my life. As we drove home from this very uneventful evening, I couldn’t help but smile to myself (in spite of the toe pain). I’d done it. I’d gone out in drag. Sure, I had hedged my bets a little by dressing on Halloween. After all, everyone dresses on Halloween. Even straight guys dress in drag on Halloween!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter. All that mattered to me was that I had done it. I had achieved another milestone in my feminine progression. And this Halloween, I encourage you to do the same. Especially if you’ve never been out before. This is the perfect evening to do it. Sure it’s a cliché. But there are reasons the cliché exists. If it takes the party-hearty, anything-goes atmosphere of Halloween to give you the courage to take those first public high heeled steps, then so be it! There are parties and events in every town and city on the map. And Halloween is absolutely huge in places like Vegas and West Hollywood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just don’t be foolish. Don’t go alone. Don’t drink and drive. And don’t forget all those things your mother told you years ago at Trick or Treat time – stay safe, avoid dark alleys, and don’t take candy from strangers. But go! Experience the thrill of strutting your stuff down a public street. Feel the night air on your silky hosed legs. Be the sexy witch-goddess-mermaid-fairy-princess you’ve always longed to be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or just throw on some skimpy lingerie. That works too. Just be sure to wear some cute animal ears. That way, you’re not a total whorebag. You’re a mouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Halloween, everyone!&lt;br /&gt;Be safe. Be smart. Be sexy!&lt;br /&gt;xoxo,&lt;br /&gt;CiCi &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-282970297720610733?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2009/10/crossdressercom-crossdressing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-1147040484949940369</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-11T11:17:49.321-04:00</atom:updated><title>Crossdresser.com, The Crossdressing Superstore Presents: Midlife Catharsis~By CiCi Kitten!</title><description>So how’s you midlife crisis going?  Mine sucks. The reminiscing. The regrets.  The re-thinking.  I was really having trouble dealing with it.  I could have gone the traditional route. I could have bought a hot new sports car.  But I couldn’t afford one.  I could have taken a hot young mistress.  But I couldn’t afford one of those either. I understand they’re more expensive than Porsches!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, I did the CD thing.  And you know what?  It kinda works.  The right wig. The right shoes.  The right outfit.  Some heavy makeup.  And voila!  The forty-something typical American male suddenly looks a lot like a much younger woman.  It’s really the perfect anecdote to the aging process.  Hair receding?  Going gray? Cover it with a &lt;a href="https://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=2"&gt;wig&lt;/a&gt;.  Wrinkles getting more defined?  Slap on a little extra &lt;a href="https://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=13"&gt;make-up&lt;/a&gt;.  Tired of stodgy old man clothes?  Lace yourself into a &lt;a href="https://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=7&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=18"&gt;corset&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s a wonder cure! And here’s another good thing.  I’m taking better care of myself.  Throughout my thirties, when I realized I wasn’t a young man any more, I tried to get in shape.  I joined (and quit) several gyms.  I tried (and failed) at several diets. Nothing worked.  I just wasn’t motivated.  Then CiCi came along.  And CiCi provided the motivation I always needed to stay slim, toned, flexible &lt;smile&gt;, and alive! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my circles, fitness just wasn’t that important.  Among office workers and other rather sedentary business professionals, health just wasn’t a major concern.  At work, we joked about our slowing metabolisms and our growing midsections.  We laughed about them, but we didn’t do anything about them. Fortunately, CiCi changed all that for me.  I’m not going to go so far as to say she’s given me a reason to live.  But she’s certainly given me several reasons to live well!  People at work tease me because I’m the thinnest guy in the office and I’m always dieting.  They wonder why I’m so careful about my weight, then they go off to another unhealthy lunch or fast food snack   Then they wonder why they can’t seem to lose any weight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can’t tell them that I stay slim in order to look good in skintight latex. Although, I often wonder what they’d say if I did.  The line that keeps coming back to me is from Kevin Spacey in “American Beauty” – a true classic in the midlife crisis genre.  He said, “I want to look good naked” – and for me that just about says it all.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve also started going out again.  I used to go out in my 20’s.  Not so much in my 30’s.  And the club scene was a distant memory by the time I reached my 40’s.  But now I try to go out about once a month.  I’ve even done some CiCi-inspired travelling to meet some of my online friends in person.  (And I hope to do a lot more of that in the future.)  Am I too old for this? Perhaps.  But it sure makes me feel young again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know what you’re thinking.  Come on, CiCi, is any of this any less superficial than the sports car, the mistress, or the &lt;a href="https://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_detail.asp?ProductID=1553&amp;amp;ProductCatID=10&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=35&amp;amp;Search="&gt;Viagra&lt;/a&gt;?  I mean, midlife crisis or not, is it ever appropriate for a 40-something guy to be motivated by trying to look and act like a 20-something?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve thought a lot about this and here’s my answer.  I don’t care.  Because what’s appropriate for me might not be appropriate for someone else. And vice versa.  But this is my life.  And for once, I’m trying to do it my way.  According to society, I’ve already done all the things I was supposed to do. (I may not have done them well, but I did them.)  And I bet you have too!  Graduated high school or college and joined the job market?  Check.  Progressed in a trade or profession and (hopefully) earned a few promotions and raises along the way?  Check.  Met a great girl and married her?  Check.  (Some of you might have done that one several times by now.)  Raised a family with the great girl and watched your children grow up and maybe even leave the nest?  Check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now this is our time.  And suddenly, it doesn’t seem like a crisis.  It seems like an opportunity.  It seems like a start instead of a finish.  A clean start.  A catharsis.  I could have taken up golf or model ship building.  I could have traveled the world in a hot air balloon. But I chose, instead, to work on my femininity and my female persona, and to see where that leads me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t get me wrong.  I know it’s ridiculous.  Acting this way.  I know it’s crazy.  Going out dressed like a whore.  When you get down to it, the whole thing reeks of some kind of perverse desperation.  And I know that better than anyone.  Yet, some how, I don’t mind.  For some reason, when it comes to CiCi, I’m comfortable with a little bit of denial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, that’s really no surprise.  Because, as cross dressers who have spent their first forty years as men 24/7, denial is something we’ve had plenty of practice at! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care out there!&lt;br /&gt;Be smart.  Be safe.  Be sexy!&lt;br /&gt;xoxo,&lt;br /&gt;CiCi&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-1147040484949940369?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2009/09/crossdressercom-crossdressing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>14</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-958310377930343385</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2009 20:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-09T15:19:03.042-04:00</atom:updated><title>Crossdresser.com, The Crossdressing Superstore Presents: EXCITEMENT!! ~By Claire Devaroux</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/uploaded_images/Claire2-748202.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/uploaded_images/Claire2-748201.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hi all!! Claire here with another installment with "A Day in the Life of Claire Devaroux". I am going to talk a bit about the great times I have had being who I want to be in the daily routine of Claire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a drummer in a T~Gurl cover band called Trans~Sonic. We are all new to the band and having been &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=7&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=101"&gt;playing&lt;/a&gt; together for most of this year 09'. We all met through a local TG group here in beautiful Seattle Washington. The range of experience from playing in bands to playing live between the 4 of us through our lifetimes is all very different but the bond we have of being Transgendered is amazing! This here in itself is a great example of why you/we need to be involved (if available) in your local groups. You never know who you will meet and how much it can change your life....for the better! If you would have asked me a few years ago: "do you think you would be playing in a TG band in a couple of years?" I would not have believed it but I would have dreamed of it! So, dreams do come true and thoughts such as these are what lead me to believe that I will be going all the way!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The band now is really starting to do something now. We just recently played at a TG/TS/CD event that happens (somewhat local) in Port Angeles Washington known as Esprit! This gathering of T~Gurls in this small coastal town is an amazing event that I experienced for the first time. Esprit last for a whole week from Sunday to Sunday and happens every year! I believe this was the 20th year (or real close). T~Gurls Come from all around and the town is so welcoming of all of us. The lead guitarist (D) and I went up on Friday and stayed the night. The bassist (K) and rhythm (P) were there all week. We played on Friday night at the Talent show. We were the last performance before the closing ceremony. This made for a very long 2 hours as we waited and watched all the other acts. No other bands though! This was going to be our first gig together and of course &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=5"&gt;dressed as the gurls &lt;/a&gt;we love to be! So, the time comes for us to head back stage and get ready. Now all the thrill of playing wrapped up with being Claire is really taking over now!!!! We are introduced and here we go....the crowd of roughly 200 is mixed of T~Gurls and locals who come to see the show. We were told that we could only play 3 songs and at the time we thought that would be fine but......we started playing and the place came un-glued. People were rushing and I mean rushing to get out to the dance floor and cut a rug. The fans were yelling, cheering, clapping, singing and dancing with the music....it was such a RUSH!!! I have had a little bit of experience playing live over the last 18 years but nothing like this! It was amazing. I would look up at times and see the place just going crazy....the people in the mezzanine level were up and dancing by their tables! We wanted to play more, the crowd called for more but we had to move on with the show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all this being said and just a glimpse of what is to come for Ms. Claire, I can't say enough of how important it is to be active with whom you are in your community. I understand that I am in a great community for this and there are others in the world that has this same opportunity and I understand that there are areas that don't. Do what you can and stay positive...we all have to and we do!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More to come!&lt;br /&gt;Loves to you all!!&lt;br /&gt;Kisses Claire Devaroux&lt;br /&gt;oxox&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-958310377930343385?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2009/07/crossdressercom-crossdressing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-5494317246260999269</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-24T15:23:26.437-04:00</atom:updated><title>Crossdresser.com The Crossdressing Superstore Invites you to Enjoy our All new Crossdressing Fashion Video Starring Cassandra Fever</title><description>Hey Sweeties!

It probably has something to do with being more honest with myself. Or being more honest with my friends. But I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I’m enjoying my life as CiCi. I’m still just a part-time girl, but I’ve been going out more, experiencing more… and I’ve been dying to tell someone about it. So I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not the most profound of reasons. But that’s me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might think that I would come out to my best friends first. But that’s not the way it’s worked for me. Instead, I’ve told the people who I thought would be the most understanding. And I was right. So far, no one has freaked out or run away or laughed in my face. They’ve all been pretty cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven’t told my siblings yet – they live far away – and both of my parents have passed away. So, instead, I told some of my co-workers. The typical reaction (after some initial surprise)? “Why didn’t you tell me a long time ago?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But of course, I wasn’t ready to tell anyone a long time ago. I wasn’t ready to tell anyone a short time ago! But, for some reason, I’m ready today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most interesting reaction I received was from a friend I’ll call Jessica. I showed her some pix of CiCi and she stared at them for a short time. Finally she asked, “Are you a &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/"&gt;crossdresser&lt;/a&gt;?” Then, to my surprise, she grabbed my arm and said, “My father does that!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jessica went on to say that her father – now elderly – was a former Marine who reminded her of movie hero Marines. All man. She didn’t tell me how she found out about her dad, but she said that he didn’t know that she knew. She then began to pepper me with questions about dressing and cd’s and the lifestyle. She was asking questions about me, but I could tell that she was really trying very hard to understand her father. She’d never met anyone who dressed before. And she had a lifetime of questions to ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that, to me, is one of the most amazing things about coming out. Sure, there’s all the personal stuff (coming clean, sharing a big secret, unburdening oneself). But there’s a larger effect. I think most people are like my friend. They think they don’t know any crossdressers. And so, they have no three-dimensional, in the flesh, person to put beside the many stereotypes that are out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But after just a few brief chats with me, Jessica had an entirely different view of crossdressing. And, more importantly, she had an entirely different view of her beloved father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, before I go too far, I’m not advocating that you all go out tomorrow and start revealing yourselves to your friends and family. I’ve told a few friends. But what about my other friends? What about my siblings? What about my adult stepson? Will I ever tell him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with my &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=5"&gt;dressing,&lt;/a&gt; I’m not sure how far I’ll go with this. But I will say this. If you’re unhappy with the way that cd’s and tgirls are thought of, or stereotyped, or the way we’re portrayed in the media, just remember that our collective silence doesn’t do us any favors. If the general public has nothing but stereotypes (typically negative) on which to base their opinions, it’s up to us to show them differently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s certainly worked in the gay community. Since the Stonewall Riots in New York City (forty years ago this month!), more and more gays have come out and spoken out. And it’s worked out. Like all minorities, gays and lesbians still have a long way to go to achieve total acceptance. But Stonewall provided a flashpoint. A defining moment. Maybe some day we’ll have ours, and it will start a revolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if I had to predict, I’d guess that our revolution will be much more gradual. More of an evolution than a revolution. Most crossdressers today have too much to lose on a personal level – marriage, family, employment, status in the community – for us to worry about a more global perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, every little thing we do helps. By coming out to even one friend. By going out to dinner or shopping at the mall. By hitting a few clubs on Saturday night. Even online chatters who’ve never gone out, but who make their opinions known, and who defend our community against small minded, hateful statements – you’re doing you’re part too. You’re changing the way people see us! It’s a movement. A slow moving movement perhaps, but a movement nonetheless. And if you’re &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=8"&gt;reading&lt;/a&gt; this blog, you’re already a part of it, you wild radical, you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m sorry to report that just a few weeks after our conversations, Jessica’s father passed away. She only saw him once after our talks, and the subject of his dressing was never brought up. But I like to think that our conversations helped. And that Jessica saw her father in a new light as she chatted with him that final time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then I think of her father. The old Marine. A career soldier who spent a lifetime defending his country. And not just any country – but a country founded on the notion of freedom of expression. How sadly ironic. I never met the man, but I’m willing to bet that, despite all those years of service, he never once felt the freedom to truly express himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As PRIDE Month passes and Independence Day approaches, I remain hopeful. Maybe someday, we will all be able to express ourselves freely. Marines and dressers alike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be safe. Be smart. Be sexy!&lt;br /&gt;xoxo,&lt;br /&gt;CiCi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-2416533034968479479?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2009/06/crossdressercom-crossdressing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>12</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-7302594919672240547</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2009 20:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-24T12:20:43.789-04:00</atom:updated><title>Crossdresser.com, The Crossdressing Superstore Presents: Shades Of Willow ~By Willow Wilson of Suddenly Fem</title><description>Hello everyone,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it’s not too often that I step away from my desk, pipe up and put my 2 cents in, but I thought it was about time! I want to thank you all for your business with Suddenly Fem™ and we always look forward to serving you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People have been asking me questions about the elusive “Willow”, so I thought I would explain who I am and why I am here…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, my name is indeed &lt;strong&gt;Willow&lt;/strong&gt;. It is not a Drag Name…and No, my parents were not Hippies... Just to Clear that up!... lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I switched careers; I was getting ready to finish my Doctorate in Optometry. I was looking forward to helping people see better in our world. Then I saw something… an ad advertising my position here at &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/"&gt;Suddenly Fem™. &lt;/a&gt;I knew I needed a change, do something different, upon responding to the ad, I met with the fantastic owners of this wonderful company and realized, that this is not your typical company-- most businesses only care about the bottom line—not so; here at Suddenly Fem™ they put the customers FIRST! That is SO important in this day and age. I know from a good friend of mine how difficult it is as a transgendered individual to purchase clothing and accessories in a non-judging environment, it was almost impossible for him in the beginning. Ever try to pick something nice out at the Women’s department one of the major department stores?? And then possibly ask for help? *Gasp*!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s where we come in…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I handle a few hundred calls a week, talking to great people such as you, everyday hard working people who appreciate fine quality and craftsmanship in their clothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am asked many times, “Why do you do this?, why do you understand?, why don’t you judge “&lt;strong&gt;US&lt;/strong&gt;”????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My answer is, there is no “&lt;strong&gt;US&lt;/strong&gt;”— people are people, everyone needs to be treated with respect, who am I to judge anyone in this world? The way I look at it is we are all in this together and it would be a much better place if everyone tried to walk in someone’s heels for a mile or so. I am a woman, born a woman and intend to stay that way (a GG Head to toe, thank you very much! A little Silly, A little Tomboyish, and secure as me none the less!) But I have quite a few great friends who are Crossdressers, Transgender, and Transvestites. I speak with members of the community every day, and I tell you what, &lt;strong&gt;NO ONE&lt;/strong&gt; has more courage than our great customers! Whether you are a casual stay at home crossdresser who loves the tactile feel of something soft, to a wonderful butterfly that came out of the male cocoon to transform in to this beautiful female, you have my vote! So you are Straight? -- &lt;strong&gt;Awesome!&lt;/strong&gt; Gay?—&lt;strong&gt;Fabulous!&lt;/strong&gt; Bi? -- &lt;strong&gt;Go on with your bad self!&lt;/strong&gt; Who cares? You are Happy Right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point I am making is that you are being yourselves, and in this day and age of changing events, at the end of the day….away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, The only thing you have that is 100% really yours is simply &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt;! Do what makes you happy! Get out there a little more each day! Be true to yourself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the beginning of my little soapbox speech here, I mentioned that you are “Customers” of Suddenly Fem™, Customer is defined as: a person who purchases goods or services from another: buyer, patron. Well, that’s true…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I tell you what; to us you are clients, friends, and more importantly someone that truly knows what they want out of life, love and &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=5"&gt;fashion&lt;/a&gt;. Suddenly Fem™ has truly helped me see through the eyes of a wonderful community!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish you all the very best and truly thank you for your business, there are a lot of choices in this world, but it means a lot to us to have you! Please send us your thoughts and comments on how we can serve you better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing You,&lt;br /&gt;Luck, Love and Happiness Forever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Willow Wilson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best Value Customer Service&lt;br /&gt;General Manager&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XOXOXO&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-7302594919672240547?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2009/05/crossdressercom-crossdressing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-8996946805197883538</guid><pubDate>Fri, 22 May 2009 17:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-22T13:07:44.516-04:00</atom:updated><title>Crossdresser.com Releases New Hormone Supplement to Their Exclusive Line!</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/uploaded_images/ZX-9-775179.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 154px" alt="" src="http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/uploaded_images/ZX-9-775178.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CrossDresser.com, the Cross Dressing Superstore, Introduces new Supplement, ZX9-Pro, to help increase sexual performance and ability for those using their estrogen boosting products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly Fem™ has been selling the premier brand of natural estrogen boosting supplements to their crossdressing customers for the past 10 years.

I love em' !! Thank You Gurls!!!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I am going to talk about a topic that is on my mind 24/7. Letting go of my male side.     I believed for a long time I held back from following my dreams of transforming into a woman because I was a man. Now, that I am in the start of transition (and loving it!) I look at the now and the feelings that are holding me back from going 24/7 is saying goodbye to Cory and taking on Claire full time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think Cory is a great guy! Good looking, athletic and a great outgoing attitude. I still feel at times (becoming less and less though) Cory being the dominant emotion inside.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Now, let’s talk a little bit about Claire. Claire is being created every moment of everyday as I continue to put one foot in front of the other. I can say this: When I am feeling totally Cory on a day and don't have much thought in wanting to be Claire, I can start putting on some panties and hose and all of sudden, like a wave of emotion that flows through out my body, I want to be Claire instantly. When I recognized this -- that is when I started to believe that I am going to transition full time.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I am the transgender type that has had these feelings my whole life. I was the one who stayed home to wear moms clothes (no sisters or brothers for that matter). I would pull out the "sick" card to stay home from school. This was a real norm for me in the 70's and into the early 80's. I never had any exposure to tranny's or really knew what "they/we" are but all I know is my mom’s closet had a huge magnet that dragged me in and I just could not help myself in wearing her panties, hose, shoes, lipstick and dresses. How comfortable I felt and how it all seemed right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think back at the day I stayed home from school and all dressed up in moms clothes and actually calling her at work and asking her if she had any wigs. She didn't....damn it! lol.&lt;br /&gt;I also recall the time that I did not fit into moms shoes anymore and in a short time could not fit in any clothes and the fun was gone.    I have met several gurls over the past couple of years and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have realized that there is a total spectrum of us gurls. From the crossdresser who is still married and wants to continue to be married to the opposite sex to the full transition with the SRS. I firmly believe that I will be on the end of the SRS part but Cory is still there! I won't know until I am living 24/7 as Claire. I hope y'all are keeping up!!!!    So, I have been in several relationships with women and I still love em'! My last serious relationship I was engaged to a wonderful woman who is now my best friend and my biggest supporter of my transition!! She is amazing. She has told me that she would rather hang out with Claire over Cory because she sees that I am more "me" as Claire. It's not that she doesn't want to hang out with Cory (she still loves him as well) but I am just not the same. I do understand what she is saying because the wonderful feeling I have when I am Claire comes out in every aspect of me...smiles...ideas...a real person. Cory still deals with deep thought, avoiding depression and most times anti-social.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am working on my "being Claire 24/7" everyday. I am in school to change careers and I have found a change that I think will be suitable for this transition. I am going into the health and medical field and want to be certified in several fields.

Lou Reed’s “Take A Walk on the Wild Side” is one of the most enduring songs of its era. The song reached #16 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and #10 in the UK. Its bass line is infectious. The sax work is legendary. And then there are the girls. The tgirls described in the lyrics. I assumed they were based on someone real, but I thought they’d been fictionalized. After all, the song does play as a kind of 60’s Bohemian fairy tale. So I never realized just how real these characters were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here’s a glimpse into the lives of Holly, Candy, and Jackie. They were all members of Andy Warhol’s FACTORY. They starred in many of his films and, for a brief time, they hung out with some of the coolest people on the planet. No, wait. Check that. They were some of the coolest people on the planet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(NOTE: This is just some brief info, but you can find more about any of these girls, Andy Warhol, the Factory, or Lou Reed on the internet!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the song says, Holly Woodlawn came from Miami, F-L-A. And hitchhiked her way across the USA. She was born Haroldo Santiago Franceschi Rodriguez Danhakl in Puerto Rico in 1946. (She adopted the name Holly as a tribute to the lead role in “&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_detail.asp?ProductID=1396&amp;amp;ProductCatID=12&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=91&amp;amp;Search="&gt;Breakfast at Tiffany’s&lt;/a&gt;.”) She started out in stage plays – some of them written by fellow Wild Sider, Jackie Curtis. But she later went on to star in several Warhol films including “Trash” and “Women in Revolt” – a spoof of the women’s lib movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holly had some trouble with the law in the ‘70’s including an arrest for impersonating the wife of the French Ambassador to the United States. But most of her later years have been spent performing in cabaret shows or in cameo screen appearances, as in “Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss.” Her autobiography, “A Low Life in High Heels” was published in 1991, and, always up on the latest trends, Holly has her own MySpace page!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Candy did indeed come from out on the Island (Long Island). In the backroom she was everybody's darlin' – in fact, that was her name, Candy Darling. Candy was born James Lawrence Slattery in Forest Hills, NY in ’46 or ’48 depending on which source you trust. She grew up a fan of old movies on television and learned to imitate stars like Joan Bennett and Kim Novak. She met Andy Warhol through Jackie Curtis, and he soon cast her in such films as “Flesh” and then the lead role in, “Women in Revolt.” Other non-Warhol associated films included working opposite Jane Fonda in “Klute” and opposite Sophia Loren in “Lady Liberty.” Candy campaigned hard for the lead role in “Myra Breckinridge,” but that role ultimately went to Raquel Welch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On stage, Candy performed in the Tennessee Williams’ play, “Small Craft Warnings” at the invitation of Williams himself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, Candy died of leukemia in 1974 at about age 29. In addition to her “role” in “Take a Walk on the Wild Side,” she is also the subject of the Velvet Underground’s song, “Candy Says.” Her biography, “My Face for the World to See,” was published in 1992.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps Jackie Curtis thought she was James Dean for a day (she did sometimes perform as a man in a James Dean persona), but it appears she had a pretty full life just being herself. Born John Holder Jr. in New York City in 1947, Jackie went on to become a noted poet, playwright, and film star. “Jackie Curtis is not a drag queen,” said Andy Warhol. “Jackie is an artist. A pioneer without a frontier.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jackie began her life in theatre as an actor at age 17 but quickly began writing her own plays – often with transgendered themes. Her plays often featured famous transsexuals including sister Wild Siders, Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn. She appeared alongside these girls in Warhol’s films, “Flesh” and “Women in Revolt.” Her play “Glamour, Glory, and Gold” featured a young Robert DeNiro in his first stage appearance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, the drug addiction hinted at in “Wild Side” took its toll on Jackie over the years – eventually leading to her death in 1985. But she left behind a legacy of stagework, filmwork and style. Jackie’s use of glitter in her &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=13"&gt;makeup&lt;/a&gt; predated the glam movement. And her penchant for ripped dresses and torn stockings predated the punks – and still turns heads on street corners and fashion runways today. A film based on Jackie’s life, “Superstar in a Housedress” was released in 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others mentioned in the song include, “Sugar Plum Fairy” – an actor named Joe Campbell. And "Little Joe" Dallesandro who “never once gave it away.” Little Joe was a bi actor/model who posed for many famous photographers. That's his crotch on the cover of The Rolling Stones' album Sticky Fingers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I’ve always been fascinated by the 60’s and the Warhol factory, and, particularly by the openness of the gay and transgendered artists, models, musicians, and actors who collaborated on so many cutting-edge and innovative artistic endeavors. Of course, they were just &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page.asp?ProductCatID=7&amp;amp;ProductSubCatID=101"&gt;having fun&lt;/a&gt;. Pushing people’s buttons. Challenging social and political conventions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But without them, where would we be now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care out there.&lt;br /&gt;Be safe. Be smart. Be sexy.&lt;br /&gt;xoxo,&lt;br /&gt;CiCi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"&gt;Click The Picture Below See the Video of the Characters!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/videodisclaimer.asp"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 115px" alt="" src="http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/uploaded_images/Wild-Side-copy-783931.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-1745672871289156516?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2009/04/crossdressercom-crossdressing_30.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-7426430270947710446</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-04-15T16:27:37.369-04:00</atom:updated><title>Crossdresser.com, the Crossdressing Superstore Presents: The ABC's of TV/CD's! ~By CiCi Kitten</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/uploaded_images/cici-748595.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 100px" alt="" src="http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/uploaded_images/cici-748594.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the most part, I've tried to avoid the issue of labels. In one of my earlier blogs, "Blurry," I wrote about how much I dislike labels like gay or straight. To me, in a world where gender identity and sexual preferences are so varied, it's hard to classify anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there are certain terms used in our community that is often confusing to outsiders or to newcomers to the scene. And that confusion only gets worse in online conversations where abbreviations are tossed around like panties at a lingerie party. These are abbreviations like CD, TV, TG, TS, and GG! GG seems to be the most confusing. And, omg, if you start throwing all of those deliciously androgynous people into the mix, the limits of language really become apparent and the whole thing just goes off the rails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be honest, I'm not even sure if I'm using the terms below correctly. But, if not, what the heck? Perhaps it will start a lively debate! In fact, if you disagree with any of my "definitions" below, please let me know! I stand by none of them. And I continue to do my best to embrace people of all genders - regardless of how they decide to present themselves...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CD is a cross dresser. To me, that's someone who was born male, but from time to time enjoys dressing in clothes typically associated with women. This can mean anything from heels to hosiery to wigs and makeup. Some guys enjoy nothing more than wearing girls' panties. Others go all the way to professional makeovers, manicures and pedicures, and custom tailored outfits. So the term CD or crossdresser covers a lot of territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TV is a transvestite. There's really not much difference between a CD and a TV. Both are born men and both dress to some degree in feminine attire. But TV's generally tend to go all out. Head to toe femininity. Shaved or waxed bodies. And usually, a more "polished" feminine presentation. The other difference for me is that many cd's never go out. That's where the term closet cross dresser comes from. (But I've never heard of a closet transvestite.) To me, TV's go out. They go to parties with other TV's, meet for dates, and hit the clubs and drag shows. CD's can and often do the same. But in my head, TV's are much more out and active in the scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TS people are going through some kind of transformation that includes outside influences such as hormones or surgery. To this group (both M2F and F2M), merely dressing in the attire of a man or woman isn't enough. TS people want to take on the physical characteristics of their desired gender. They may take hormones, undergo certain cosmetic surgeries, or go all the way to genital surgery that actually changes the physicality of their sex organs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trannies or cross dressers that have decided to live in girl mode full time are also often referred to as transsexuals. But they are usually called pre-op transsexuals. As you might expect, not all pre-op transsexuals ever make it to the "op" stage. They never go through with the surgery for either financial or emotional reasons. But they're still considered pre-op.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TG is a transgendered person. This is the broadest term for this entire category of people. TG can mean either a person born male who sometimes presents as a female. Or vice versa - a person born female who sometimes presents as male. So, by definition, this category includes TV, CD and TS people. Because it is so broad and all-encompassing, "transgender" is often the term used in groups and associations of social, cultural, and political significance... as in LBGT groups: Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, and Transgendered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GG people are genetic girls. These are people who are born with the physical characteristics of girls or women and have remained so. The term is usually used in cd circles because sexual preferences are so varied in our world. Some cd girls prefer dating men, some prefer dating other cd's, and some prefer dating gg's (or genetic girls). You'll often find this abbreviation in chat rooms where dating is discussed, as in the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TGirl 1&lt;br /&gt;I was out with a really cute girl the other night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TGirl 2&lt;br /&gt;Oh really? Was she TV or GG?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this instance, Tgirl2 wants to know if TGirl 1 was out with a genetic girl or a transgendered girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;M2F and F2M are abbreviations for transformative experiences. M2F people are transforming in some way from male to female. F2M people are transforming from women to men. This is a very broad category that includes the very casual crossdresser as well as the surgically altered transsexual. So the term doesn't indicate the degree of the transformation, it only communicates the direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, many transgendered people don't agree with the idea that they were ever anything other than the gender they feel inside -- regardless of the physical characteristics that they were born with. So to them, these kinds of classifications (M2F or F2M) can be insulting or offensive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sat in on a panel discussion with a group of transgendered college students. And it's amazing how many every day things cause them great stress - from deciding which public restroom to use to checking off "gender" on any application or institutional form. Every form has two choices: M or F. But many of these kids don't identify as either. They want a third classification. Or at least an open box in which to check, "Other." To them, terms like M2F or F2M are far too limiting to truly express the fluid nature of their gender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME is the two-letter term I like to use to refer to myself. You can call me whatever you like. TG, TV, CD. I'm all of those things. You can also call me gay or straight or bi. I'm all of those things as well. (You can even call me a lesbian if you like.) But, in the end, I'm still ME. I always was ME. And I always will be ME.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care out there!&lt;br /&gt;Be safe. Be smart. Be sexy.&lt;br /&gt;xoxo,&lt;br /&gt;CiCi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6663954528898078682-7426430270947710446?l=www.crossdresserphotoblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.crossdresserphotoblog.com/2009/04/crossdressercom-crossdressing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (CiCi Kitten)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663954528898078682.post-2164400936895160183</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-04-15T14:52:23.813-04:00</atom:updated><title>Crossdresser.com Releases their Newest Fashion Shoot Video with Cassandra Fever</title><description>CrossDresser.com, the Cross Dressing Superstore, Reveals all new fashions in a brand new Video!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1888PressRelease) &lt;a title="http://www.1888pressrelease.com/04-10-2009.html" href="http://www.1888pressrelease.com/04-10-2009.html"&gt;April 10, 2009&lt;/a&gt; - Classic short miniskirts and lots of stretch satin is a staple in the cross dressing world of fashion.

I also noticed the fact that the clothes are very fabric-conscious and rich in texture, which I think is nice for people who appreciate silky and velvety garments.”&lt;br /&gt;The Suddenly Fem fashion video featuring Ms. Fever garnered nearly 50,000 views on YouTube in just its first month. “We shot the video at an estate in Malibu, which was enormous. Every room was just gorgeous, so we had a lot of options as far as background. Everyone on the shoot was a total professional, and that makes a big difference in terms of getting the job done and having a nice finished product.”&lt;br /&gt;The video has also earned Cassandra some new fans. “I get everything from crossdressing corporate presidents, and women who indulge in forced feminization with their husbands - to transvestites who belong to pagan cults, and teenage boys that are just discovering the whole cross dressing scene who tell me that I'm their new benchmark for how they dress. I've heard from some really nice people and some truly bizarre people, but I think it's all great!”&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly Fem clothes and accessories provide crossdressers, transvestites, drag queens, and transsexuals with sophisticated, glamorous, and well-made clothing options. The online superstore offers everything from &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=7"&gt;lingerie&lt;/a&gt; to formal wear; eveningwear and party dresses to casual wear and club wear; plus mini skirts, mini dresses, micro minis, &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=3"&gt;shoes, boots&lt;/a&gt;, hosiery, jewelry, accessories, and &lt;a href="http://www.crossdresser.com/product_page_subcategories.asp?ProductCatID=13"&gt;make-up&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Cassandra, she starts shooting a new horror movie called “All About Evil,” at the end of March.
