Paraffin Test

Health and Beauty / Transgender Life  Posted by / 0 comments

Remember those Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons?

I used to love watching those, especially the beginning, when they would show the coyote hopelessly chasing the roadrunner on foot with a napkin ’round his neck and a fork and knife in his hands, then freezing the frame and labeling him with some made-up latin description like “Carnivorous Vulgaris” and then the same treatment for the roadrunner… something like “Accelerati Incredibilus.”

I had to laugh reading labels on moisturizers (the things I do for you), trying to find ones without cheap oil in them and coming across several containing Paraffinum Liquidum… Well, hardy har har!

Liquid wax… Mineral oil… Nice try! Or should I say, Excellentum Effortum!

Can I Buy You a Drink?

Sexuality and Fantasy / Transgender Life  Posted by / 3 comments

Having received an e-mail invitation to meet a complete stranger for a drink, I was left wondering if anyone would accept this kind of invitation. When I say “complete stranger” I mean that we have never exchanged a single word.

My suitor provided me with absolutely nothing beyond:

  • I like your pictures,
  • I’m tall and good looking
  • I’ll be in a city that has bars.

He didn’t even make the effort to make up a name for me to call him.

Is there anyone out there who would accept this invitation from “what’s-his-name?” Or even answer his message? Am I being too hard on him?

C’mon, amaze me…

Dinner at Topolobampo with Obama

Food and Drink  Posted by / 0 comments

My girfriend and I had been looking forward to our visit to Topolobampo in Chicago for dinner this weekend but were surprised to be greeted at the door by armed guards insisting on inspecting the contents of our bags and scanning us for weapons. As we entered the dining room, there was another large man with a communications device in his ear, looking plenty serious. In the back corner was the President-elect, Barack Obama, together with his wife and some others dining on the finest Mexican food the U.S. has to offer.

That White Powder Always Makes Me High

Introspection / Transgender Life  Posted by / 2 comments

Many people, at the first sign of winter, will start pining for a sunny beach vacation in Cancun or in the Caribbean. Not me. I love the changing seasons, and each has its charms for me.

It snowed here yesterday and last night. It never ceases to amaze me, the inner feeling of peace and joy I get from walking about on a calm night while snow falls softly from the sky.

The town is always quiet and it makes me quiet. Winter quiet is different than summer, when crickets and other noises of nature’s life are always there. Nature is resting in heavenly peace right now. There’s no wind. It doesn’t feel cold at all. And, places that are normally dark and scary at night, like parks, are lit up by the reflection of the moonlight in the white snow.

So This Blonde Walks Into a Bar

Out in the World / Transgender Life  Posted by / 0 comments

It is funny how things happen if you are out and about; you can never plan things. My girlfriend and I met Stephanie and Scott one night when they happened to drop by the Brass Key yakfest and plop themselves down across the table from us. Their outfits were striking and they were somewhat eccentric and knew a bit about our neck of the woods. So we struck up a bit of a conversation and were invited to drop by Stephanie’s store in town.
