THIS IS ONLY A TEST! SOME JUNE THOUGHTS
Karen Reeves June 4th, 2008 7:13 pm MDTHi Everyone!
This is a test to see if I can input my journal entry. Fingers crossed!
Summer is almost here. I know that 90 degree weather and 95% humidity does not do much for makeup. The season does not always lend itself to dressing up. The dressed go into the box and the boxes go into the closest.
Why not slip into that swimsuit and go on out and get a great tan in a nice secluded surrounding. Or be more brave and go out in public with a cute, sleeveless top and min shorts/skirt. Give the guys some "eye candy!"
*Kisses*

From Ape to Babe, Ramblings in Photo-Editing
Ana Cristina García June 4th, 2008 11:24 am MDTFrom Ape to Babe – How Far Should a Cross-Dresser go with Digital Photo-Manipulation?
In the Beginning There Were Men Trying to Look like Women…
As soon as digital photography became available to the masses, I am sure that all of us, cross-dressers, saw and took advantage of an opportunity that was near the top of our wish list (second only to the temporary-transformation pill). At last, we would be able to take photos of ourselves without having to take the film for processing and the risks it involved.
Almost a decade has gone by and digital photography combined with the means for creating a female persona to interact with other people like us, has certainly been a dream come true for most of us. There is rarely a web-based community where TGirls in general and CDs in particular have not created a niche. MySpace, Yahoo 360, Hi5, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, to name a few, allow us to have a circle of friends with whom to share this important aspect of our lives. There are also portals dedicated exclusively to the TG community and here I have to mention Urnotalone as a pioneer and the place where many of us made our debut. We use our profiles to share and exchange ideas, thoughts, feelings, and, of course, photos with those who understand us in every way because they have the same passion we have for transforming ourselves into women.
Digital photography is one of the means through which we can share with the world this other side of ourselves and, arguably, the most important (keep in mind that I am talking from a cross-dresser’s point of view). It is through photos that we show our friends how good and how far are we able to go in our transformation and give or ask for help in improving our image. We do this within a community of people who know what it is all about and accept us as men trying to look as female as possible. Having a physical or visual image that matches our pretended gender so that others can relate to this woman they are meeting and with whom they are developing a friendship is very important. How many times have we come across a profile that says that the owner will not add any faceless person as a friend? Yes, it is important to have a face and, even better to have a complete body, to make the woman we pretend to be, appear real to others. Now, unless we get an opportunity to, eventually, meet in person with all these friends, there is no way we can ever be completely sure that “she” is for real. Every day we see profiles of people pretending to be TGirls showing photos that are so obviously of genetic females or photos that are evidently photomontages. Rather than judging these people I’d like to think that in their need to give life to an image that, for various reasons, they are not able to produce themselves, they rely on photos that depict the appearance they honestly wished they had. After all, we live in societies that, sadly enough, favor beauty over intelligence, values or personality.
In the case of cross-dressers and maybe all other TGirls, beauty is even more appreciated than in the case of real women because we are not only contempt with being able to pass for a female but all the better if we can pass for a beautiful woman. It is no surprise then, that “beautiful” TGirls are often more popular, praised and admired than those who can totally pass for average looking females or those who are the intellectuals and activists of our community. There is a strive to look as pretty as possible; in some cases to satisfy our own needs, and I include myself here, and in other cases to gain the acceptance and admiration of the other “girls” in our circles of friends.
… Then, Along Came Photoshop and a Dilemma…
Another field that developed parallel to digital photography was digital photo editing and its power horse, Photoshop. Yes, we are talking magic here. All of us who have come across Photoshop and learned the basics have not been able to resist exploring all the possibilities that are limited only by our imagination and our skills using the program. The dilemma that we face now is: Is it valid to use Photoshop or any other photo editing program to touch up our photos? And if so, how much of that magic should we use without being deceitful or distorting reality? I am sure that there are diverse opinions and points of view in this regard and following I will try to give you my outlook on this topic and will illustrate with examples whenever possible.
… To Deceive or not to Deceive… That is the Question.
I started using Photoshop to eliminate red eye and to correct the color and exposure of my photos. Then, I used it to eliminate chest hair when I wore revealing tops, and leg hair when I did not wear double hose. I did not consider this practice deceitful since it was the equivalent to shaving my body. I do not have thick body hair but it sure is noticeable and disgusting and prevented me from wearing more revealing tops and/or skirts with bare legs and sandals. My wife is not comfortable with me being shaved all the time and since I am a male 99% of the time, neither am I. Consequently, Photoshop provides the best means for me to achieve, virtually, something I can do, in reality, only on rare occasions. Is this level of photo editing deceitful? I guess we could consider it a mild deception but don’t all the photos we see on printed advertisement and on beauty magazines have, in most cases, been heavily touched up? If you think that is not the case, just take a look at the following links and you tell me:
http://blog.sessions.edu/graphic-design/photo-retouching-the-delicate-balance/
In the previous link you see the before and after photo of Faith Hill. Granted that Faith is already a gorgeous middle-aged woman, they manipulate her photo to make her look a lot younger and shapely. Notice how her face is made smoother and slimmer as well as her arm. Also notice how the little hump showing on her back is removed and the clavicle is made less prominent. I have not read the text of the article sent to me by my dear friend Laura Recinos just recently, but it explains in detail how it was done. The following link provides even more dramatic examples of how a professional touches up photos from famous people for magazines. Click on each thumbnail and then roll the mouse over the enlarged photo to see how it was before and then roll out to see the after again.
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/index.html
As you can see, all wrinkles are gone, boobs are made larger and with more cleavage and every little imperfection is taken care of to present a perfect image. This is the perfect image we all seek and strive for but, as the Dove commercial, in the link below, clearly states, it is an unrealistic and unattainable beauty standard since it is produced electronically. Yes, every gorgeous girl with a perfect body, face and hair we see in all sorts of magazine adds is not as perfect as she seems to be. Having a good raw material to start with makes the task easier but the photos they show us are idealizations achieved through the manipulation of photos of beautiful subjects that are close but not quite there and, in some cases, not even close to perfection, on their own. Every woman, and I count here TGirls too, would like to have the figure of a Barbie Doll or Jessica Rabbit but we know that their extremely slim waists and exaggerated proportions can only be produced in plastic or drawing and lately, with Photoshop. Our ideal of beauty has become, thanks to photo editing, quite unrealistic. Take a look at the Dove commercial now:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hibyAJOSW8U
A Justification… or Not.
Where does reality end and deception begin? In the case of cross-dressers it is very hard to define since we are already being deceitful by presenting an image that is opposite to our real gender. Wigs, makeup, breast forms, hip padding, corsets, lashes, nails, etc. are the physical tools we use to create an illusion. What is the difference then, between that and getting similar results with digital photo-manipulation?
If gorgeous models, actresses and singers have their already outstanding beauty electronically enhanced why shouldn’t us, ugly men trying to look like beautiful women, do it too? After all, we need it a lot more than they do. Don’t you agree?
If you ask me, I think we are entitled to do it; but how far should we go with it? In my opinion, we should go as far as to reproduce what we are able to achieve in reality if we have the opportunity. What I mean by this is: if I know I can look better if I shave my body but can’t do it all the time then why not get a virtual shave? If I know, I can produce a decent cleavage with tape and padding when I get to shave my chest then why not simulate it with Photoshop? I used to just remove the chest and leg hair with Photoshop until one time, a little over a year ago, that I got to shave my whole body and produced a pretty decent cleavage with tape. I could not believe my eyes when I saw myself in the mirror and even now, when I see the photos from then (see links below).

http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristy98girl/2420393557/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristy98girl/999288280/
It was after seeing how natural my tape-produced cleavage looked that I thought I was entitled to get Photoshop implants by either shading the flat chest or by superimposing and blending real boobs from real girls (it just occurred to me that maybe some of the boobies I have used for my photos might have already been touched up LOL). I will be the first to admit that I have gotten a bit carried away in the chest size and cleavage but if you are going to do it then do it right, don’t you agree? The links below show a few of the photos where I have incurred in what I like to call “Photoshop Implants”. Every time I post this type of photos I include a note stating that the breasts are not real. Please notice the difference with the “authentic tape-created cleavage” shown in the links above:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristy98girl/2467940763/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristy98girl/2264700419/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristy98girl/2067365114/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristy98girl/739261488/
Up to this point I believe it is still justifiable, in my humble opinion, to use photo editing. Why? Because I have proven to myself (I do it first for me not for others) that I can achieve similar results in real life when I get a chance to shave. By the way, my wife has agreed to let me shave my chest the next time I dress which should be on the second week of June 2008, if all works out as planned. In order to further illustrate the two levels of photo improvement that I am comfortable posting I prepared an image showing the “hairy” Cristy (ape), the “No Cleavage” Cristy (not so babe) and the “Virtual Breast Augmentation” Cristy (arguably babe). I recommend you see the original size (if it fits in your screen). The link is:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristy98girl/2549828866/
How far should I go? I’d like you to tell me. Would you rather see, from left to right, Ape Cristy, Flat and hairless Cristy or Babe Cristy? In Yahoo 360 you will be able to cast your vote in the poll at the bottom but if you read this in MySpace or URNA, please leave a short note with your point of view in this “shallow” but interesting issue.
This writing should not be taken for a confession, because I have always made it clear that I am not smooth most of the time and have also included an explanatory note whenever I post photos showing enhanced breasts. The reason that gave me the idea to write about this topic is that, lately, I have gotten several messages asking me about my new implants and if I am happy with them, how do they feel, etc. I have also been asked about when am I having my SRS! It is evident that, as is often the case, we are so busy with other things that we just take a quick look at the photos and do not bother or have the time to read the captions below them. As a matter of fact I posted a before and after photo almost a year ago when I first started posting photos with “virtual implants” since it has never been my intention to mislead anyone. For those of you who have not seen it, here is the link (as with the other photos, I recommend you see it in large size):
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristy98girl/967913811/
I am not an expert with Photoshop and am far from achieving the kind of work shown in the before and after photos seen in the links at the top. However, I have always been good with computers and have an artistic background that has helped me find my way around the program. Therefore, I have experimented further and just for fun have explored other manipulations that make me appear to have a more feminine appearance by altering the body shape in my own photos or simply putting my face on top of gorgeous GG bodies (a technique I like to call “virtual body snatching”). I don’t know if any of those bodies I have used have, in turn, been touched up before but they serve the purpose of having some fun in “wonderland”. I have shared some of them with close friends but have never posted any before, as I think this is far from reality and something I could not achieve on my own. In other words, I find these images completely deceptive and would not like to have anyone thinking they are real. For the first time ever I will post some of them on Flickr but for that I have created a new account in which I make very clear that they are all photomontages or extreme manipulations of my own photos. Yes, it is fun and gives me great satisfaction but it is not real. Following is the link to the home page for this Flickr profile. From there you can go to the photo pages.
http://www.flickr.com/people/27290011@N07/
Also, here is a link to the one photo of this kind I will post in my regular Flickr account:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cristy98girl/2549828858/
I am fully aware that after seeing these last photos you will be wondering how much of the photos I post in my profiles and my real Flickr account is really me. It is an acceptable conclusion once I have shown the magic that can be made with just one program and there is nothing I can do about it. However, as a very dear friend has told me a number of times, my videos are proof of how I really look like and for those of you who are doubtful, here is the link to my YouTube profile:
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=cristy98girl
So, After all the Rambling, is There Anything to Conclude?
In conclusion, I think that it is all a game of make believe and as long as we do not hurt anyone else we should be entitled to do whatever we feel appropriate. In my case, I prefer to be honest and make things clear from the start but can understand how other people go for deception in their attempt to give life to a much needed female persona that matches their ideals and standards. However, I prefer when they state from the beginning that the photos show how they wish they looked like and not when they try to mislead others into thinking it is really them in the photo(s). In the case of the latter, the first person they are fooling is themselves but as long as they enjoy it and do not harm anyone in the process, then so be it.
Some of you might agree or disagree with my opinion and you are entitled to it. I have expressed my very own point of view with regards to this topic and I do the “virtual shaving” and “Photoshoped Implants” first and foremost for my own satisfaction; knowing full well that I can achieve similar results if I get a chance to shave all my body. In such cases, I have always made it clear whenever I think it might be misleading.
From now on I might continue posting my “body and face alterations” and my “ virtual body snatching” photos exclusively in the new Fickr account, where I will not post any regular photos of me. I am still debating if I should post the original next to the manipulation in the case of those photos that are not my own since I have not used them with permission. I am also debating if I should open the profile to friend adds and the photos to comments but once you read this document, the decisions will have been made and maybe a Pandora Box will be opening. It seems that in this virtual world our appearance will be composed of our own raw material and our, or other people’s, skills to enhance it. We will eventually get to the point where it is not only about how good or bad we look but also how good can our photos be enhanced by ourselves or by others.
It seems that I just can’t keep a blog entry short but if you were able to stand the reading to this point, we have finally reached the end :-). Thank you for your interest and I will appreciate your feedback if you consider it appropriate.
Hugs and best regards to all,
Cristy.

*F*...Is it just me??
Sassy Cat Girl I Love It! Jo-an March 7th, 2008 4:59 pm MSTHi All, I've been off line since early January..too many personal issues to go into.
I used to have URNA as my Home page, then had to change it because of that damn *F* word. It is showing up on some a banner in Bright Red .. and on the first page of some banner links .. off the URNA Main pages.
I'm really not OK with this, the word offends me and I can't leave the screen up anymore because of the traffic in front of my terminal.
Am I just too much of an old fogey? I think genetic women may be more offended by it, or is it just me?
I will make time to pop in and say to my friends .. I'm so sorry I have been neglecting you .... life just gets crazy some times.
Now .. I just MIGHT use that word if I found a nest of these in my closet!

FIRST EVENT 2008: SOME FEBRUARY THOUGHTS
Karen Reeves February 6th, 2008 5:35 pm MSTFebruary 2nd is Ground Hog Day. I'm sure you all know the story. If the groundhog sees his shadow there is 6 more weeks of winter. If the groundhog does not see his shadow then spring is almost here.
I've often wondered, what type of IDIOT cam up with this concept? Have you ever seen spring start at the beginning of February? There may be global warning but spring at the start of February?
I regret to tell all of you that this year, 2008, the groundhog ended up with a different result. The groundhog came out of his burrow, saw my main picture in URNA this month and committed suicide. Funeral services will be conducted today, video at 11 P.M.
FIRST EVENT 2008
On Wednesday, 16 January I picked up my girlfriend Brenda Sue at the airport in Providence in the early evening and we proceeded to the Sheraton Hotel in Peabody. This was the new site for First Event. Brenda flew in from Chicago and this was her first First Event.
We were met at the hotel by our girlfriend, Jackie, who had come down earlier in the day. She helped us get into our rooms.
A bunch of us girls freshened up and went down to the restaurant for dinner. I was quite tired from a long day and was very hungry, but also wanted a drink!
Right off the bat I was impressed by the hotel staff's professionalism and courtesy. It was quite obvious that this year's hotel staff was given some corporate sensitivity training and the staff took the lessons to heart. Last year many of the staff at the previous hotel acted like the circus had come to town when they saw convention participants. They were rude.
The food at dinner was also very delicious. We ended up closing down the restaurant/bar.
On Thursday we welcomed many of our other friends. For me, these conventions are more of a social occasion now rather than an informational quest. I've attended many of these seminars in the past, plus I know everything anyways! HA HA HA, that's a joke everyone!
I was very fortunate in that Jackie's friend (and now mine) Bobbie was attending First Event. He is a professional hair stylist and so I was able to have my hair look its' best every evening. THANKS BOBBIE YOU ARE THE GREATEST BABES!
We then got prepared for the Dinner/Costume Ball. Since I did not get out on Halloween this was my chance to make up for it. My roommate, Jackie Thompson, went as the cutest cowgirl you have ever seen and I went as a cheerleader. YEA RA RA !
Even though the organizers did not say there would be a contest, I think many girls were under the impression there would be one. There was not. Had there been I think my girlfriend, Tiffany Starr, would have won it hands down. She went as a red, girl Dracula. YIKES!
One gentleman admirer was there and shared our dinner table.. He got up to perform after dinner and was a very talented impersonator. He was also quite charming and funny as well.
Later in the evening, while I was prancing around, I saw a sign board for the Leahy Clinic seminar of "Sleep Disorders" in the front lobby. You can see me sleeping with this sign:-)
Dinner was nice and we all got some dancing in.
The next day I woke up at 11 A.M. I've grown to like breakfast in bed at these events. Expensive? Perhaps. I like doing this since I normally do not do this when I travel. It also allows you more time to rest. My roommate Jackie T also liked it as well.
Sometime the early bird girlfriend or two pops in to chat. Annette Brunette came by and proceeded to take my pic in bed. OH NO ANNETTE! HOW COULD YOU?
She later photo shopped me into bed with the two life size plastic dolls at Dr. Z.'s party! Thanks Annette:-( I've never had such great sex in my life! *Giggles*
On Friday we wandered around the vendors' area and attended a couple of seminars. Since I do assist many others I decided that the workshop on coming out to children was a good workshop to go to It was nice to hear from others but I felt the presenter should have presented more of her own thoughts and ideas on the matter since she was a mental health care professional.
Friday evening many of my sorority sisters in Sorority Sisters of New England, and I, went out to dinner at the No Name Restaurant in Boston. Jackie picked out a great seafood restaurant.
I know that many girls only want to go out to "alternative" establishments. I grow tired of this self imposed segregation as a steady diet. If the transgendered community is looking for acceptance in the wider world then we need to "show the flag" and go out into the rest of the world. Our presence can educate the public into acceptance. I'm not going to hide in closets anymore. Besides they are too musty! Are we ashamed of ourselves? Our $$$ is just as green as anyone else's!
Our intrepid group included Jennifer Lane, Jackie Thompson, Brenda Sue Faulkner, Denise Armel, Jean Warren, Taylor Stephnz, Tiffany Starr, and myself. When we got to the restaurant two of the waitresses recognized Jackie and I from a previous visit last summer. Is that good or bad? Maybe it was the 5" stiletto heels, black fishnet stockings , and the micro min skirt. HUMMMM:-0
The waitresses were thrilled to wait on us 8 girls. They gave us the best seats in the house. We all had delicious seafood to eat. The other patrons did not even bat any eyelash at our crowd. Dress for the occasion is the rule. Later we went clubbing.
The night was topped off by a visit to Dr. Z's famous, or infamous, suite party. There is always enough free liquor to float a battleship!
At about 3 A.M. I was in a rather silly mood. I like convention pics, but not the usual, run of the mill, sitting at a table, or standing in a hallway photo parade. I suggested to Jackie that we go to the Exercise/Weigh Room and take some goofy photos. You can see them in my new gallery. It was a blast and no one was around. The pics are unique! You can also combine those with the previous evening's, "Girls On The Luggage Cart" pics
On Saturday we tore around the the site and had a nice time. For dinner all of us SSofNE girls sat at one table. There was Jennifer Lane, Jackie Thompson, Annette Brunette, Brenda Sue Faulkner, Denise Armel, Sherry Colah, and myself. The dinner was quite nice and later we danced the night away. They even ended up ripping up the temporary dance flooring from underneath us at the end of the evening!
The evening ended up back at another Dr Z suite party.
On Sunday I drove Brenda Sue back to the airport for her to catch her evening flight. We had dinner at a nice restaurant south of Worcester. I wanted to avoid I-95 since there was a big game for the Patriots being played down at Foxboro. She got off on time.
I want to thank everyone for a great time. My sorority sisters are the best and Jackie you are an awesome roommie
I'm already planning on 1st Event 2009!

Recent FUN with sexy Sasha
Leza December 22nd, 2007 3:00 pm MSTSasha is a lovely TV/CD I've chatted with online in very hot sessions more than once, and finally we decided to meet. She invited me to her place, where when I arrived she was really looking good in the attire we both like, tight sexy short skirts, spikey heels, stockings, pushup bra and well, you know. We were comfy together right away and had a deep long kiss that was sooo amazing, and embraced... I could feel we were both very turned on. I had to change though so within about 20 minutes I was Leza in my own very sexy outfit. Once I got my lipstick on, we had another long embrace and deep loving kiss, I was sooo turned on, god it's like nothing else, no woman has had that effect for years. It's just incredibly erotic for some reason. Don't know why, and don't care! Well of course we had to heat the session up so I had her sit back on the sofa, spread her legs and hike her little miniskirt up so Leza could wrap her very hungry lips around Sasha's throbbing clit... oh god I was hungry for it and she loved my licking and sucking so much, she kept stopping me to relax. This went on, back and forth taking turns, and taking some hot pics, for quite awhile. Finally it was getting time to go so I worked her hard, and at the last second she pulled that big clit out of my mouth and shot cum ALL over me, my god she could shoot a huge load it was amazing, thank god she pulled out because I wanted to suck her off and would have gagged for sure! Next time though I'll be ready and won't waste a drop I hope.xxx[Comment on this post]

My Seventh visit to the Shrink
Ana Cristina García November 26th, 2007 6:11 pm MSTOk, it has been six weeks since my last and seventh visit tothe therapist and the next one will be this week on November 27 (actually,tomorrow). I thought about waitinguntil then and write about the two together but decided to keep them separateand shorter than usual, if I can.
I will begin by repeating something I explained since myfirst blog about my visits, regarding my motives to go to the therapist asCristy. It seems like many of youbelieve that I go there for therapeutic reasons when it is, actually, only anexcuse to have a safe and controlled environment where I can go from time totime without much of the risk that my wife tries to avoid when I go out as agirl. As many of you might recall,I started going to therapy as a male to get help with an anger management issuethat, after almost two years, I can proudly say is a think of the past. However, I continue to go every otherweek in boy mode because I find it refreshing and a good way to vent whateveris going on in my life at the moment. Since my first visit I was open to the doctor and told him about mybeing a cross-dresser and explained to him what it was all about since he hadno experience in the field. Several months later, it occurred to me that it would provide a safeenvironment for Cristy to be out and about given that we had discussed my needto go out with my wife and she was concerned about my safety. I asked my wife first and she agreed andthen asked the doctor and he said that he had no problem with it. I was clear with him that it would bejust an excuse and that we could talk about anything and not necessarily TGissues. He suggested that AnaCristina García would have to register as a new female patient and get her own record. I did just that and to this date onlythe doctor knows that Cristy is not a woman. I can’t assure that nobody suspects but so far I have notreceived any signs of that and neither has the doctor.
During all the years of useless therapy in my teens andearly twenties, I dreamt about going to therapy as Cristy but never got thenerve to ask and I am not sure if I would have dared. Now, here I am talking about a seventh appointment andgetting ready for the eight. Eachtime I go out there I try to go somewhere else but that is not always possible. Twice I had gone out with mysister-in-law but all the other times she has been either busy or out oftown. This seventh time she wasaway on business and guess what? She will also be away the day I go out for the eight appointment. I will try to talk my wife into lettingme go to the mall by myself but I can’t hope for much. Ok, but let’s get on with the story…
Since the previous time I had decided on what outfit to wearfor the next visit. It was time towear pants again so I choose a pair of blue pants with white stripes, a redwoven top and my 4 ½ red platform peep-toe heels. You have seen the previews on flickr and on the previousblog entry but here are the links to some other photos and a variation I triedwearing a scarf around my neck after returning from the therapist.

I got there 15 minutes early and as soon as I rang the bellthe secretary opened the door and greeted me with a big smile. We both seemed to be happy to see eachother. I had called the weekbefore to confirm the appointment and she was very happy to her from methen. She is a very sweet girl andwe seem to get along very well even when I go there as a guy. If only she knew. Or does she suspect? I don’t know but as far as I can tellshe does not show any signs of suspicion. Once I came in I noticed that this time there were no other people inthe waiting room. I sat down in myusual seat and started chatting with the secretary. I have always shown interest in her college studies andasked her about how she was doing. She replied that she had completed her curricula and was ready for thefinal arrangements for graduation. I already knew that because she had told my male self about it. Knowing what she would tell meI hadrehearsed my response and with my most feminine reaction and voice ofexcitement congratulated her. Wetalked about how proud she and her parents must have felt and I commended herfor her effort on working all day, going to college at night and then go backhome to do homework. It isadmirable, indeed, how so many women do that around the globe. And men still doubt that women are thebetter and strongest gender! Itmakes me feel proud about being, at least, a part time woman.
After that, she asked me if I had had a haircut. How is it that women always noticethose things? I must admit that asmuch as I like to emulate women, I never notice those things. Heck, I don’t even notice when my wifegets a haircut. Did the secretaryhave a reason for asking that? Yesshe had and I was prepared for it too. As a matter of fact I was wearing, for the first time, my brand newwig. It is exactly the same brand,model and color as the other but since this is new, it has more luster and abit less body making my hair look thinner and more straight. So, I replied that I did not had ahaircut but that I had my hair ironed. She said that it looked great and I felt very flattered. I don’t know if it was an honestopinion since women are always complimenting each other without necessarilymeaning it. For some reason womentry to make other women feel good about themselves and as women emulators, we,cross-dressers, do the same. It issort of a bond and pact of conduct that is totally foreign to men. Notice that I keep referring to womenas if I were not one. The fact isthat I am not one and we all know it. I only try to emulate one the best I can and for more on this you canread my previous blog entry entitled “A Prelude to the Seventh to the Shrink”. But I digress form the main topic solet me go on. After the shortexplanation I thanked her and asked her if she really thought I looked betterand she said that she thought so. I was on cloud nine. Here Iwas, a woman, talking to another woman (a real one) about hairstyles and havingmy hair done and typical girlie talk. This was a first ever for me with someone that is not really close tome.
The conversation continued for some more time. We talked about the weather since itwas a particularly cold day and she was wearing like two sweaters and was stillshivering. I have always lovedcold weather and I was only wearing my long-sleeve woven top. When I heardsomeone coming down the stairs I new it was about time to go up. A lady came down and greeted us. I greeted her back as she said goodbyeto the secretary. The phone rangand the secretary told me that the doctor was ready to see me. I got up and walked up the stairs tothe doctor’s office.
As I was finishing to climb the stairs, the doctor came outto greet me and we shook hands. Inoticed that he stared at me with a look of surprise and he said “wow,Cristina, you are particularly tall today!” I smiled and after saying hello got in his office. As I walked in I slipped and almostfell down. The doctor reacted andtried to hold me but I was able to keep myself from falling. He then mentioned that they had justpolished the floor. I showed himthe reason why I looked taller and we joked about how hard a fall would it hadbeen with those gargantuan heels. I mentioned that they are very high but very comfortable to wear andwalk on. As a matter of fact, Ilove how they feel on.
Once I sat down he also mentioned that my breast lookedlarger than usual and I told him that it was the second time I was wearing mybreast forms there and that maybe he perceived them larger because the top Iwas wearing this time was tighter. I then filled him in about the highlights of my conversation with thesecretary and he also mentioned that now that I had told him he was able to seethe difference in my hair (as I said,men do not notice these things). In his opinion I looked better with the older wig. He said that he liked women’s hair withmore volume.
We talked about this and that and were even able to exchangethoughts on what it meant to be a cross-dresser and for the first time I feltthat I was getting something out of my Cristy time at the therapist. It was never the intention but since itis unavoidable to talk about men dressed as women when I go as Cristy it wasonly natural. I have always knownthat it is all about the illusion and the clothes and makeup but I never had itso clear in my mind. I guess thatfrom now on there will be some more substance from future visits rather thanjust killing an hour of time. After philosophizing about cross-dressing, I asked him how would hedescribe Ana Cristina. I couldnotice by his expression that I was putting him on the spot but he proceeded togive an answer. He started givingadjectives that he thought applied to me. He said Cristy was tall, that she was cute and looked younger than herage (insert big smile here) that she smelled good, that she was a dresser andwas always elegant and showed class. He also said that she was very ladylike and that she had a veryappealing smile. Being my worstcritic I added: “and she has ahuge nose and has bubbles of air in her head”. He admitted that my nose was big but that it was not agiveaway. I will have to disagreewith him on that. If there is onething I would physically change in me it would be my nose. I can live with all the other malefeatures but am not too happy about my big fat nose :D
After that I asked him what he thought of my male self andhe described him pretty much as he is. He forgot to mention that he did not look too bad as a girl but I canforgive that LOL. When time was upI shook his hand and said goodbye. I walked down to the secretary’s desk, paid, talked for a couple ofminutes and we then kissed each other goodbye as I congratulated her on heracademic achievement again.
When I got in the car I called my wife to tell her that Iwould go to a specialty grocery store that sells Spanish goods. It is located about 100 meters down thestreet from the doctor’s office and I had mentioned her that I might venture inthere after my appointment. Shesaid that it was ok but that I should be careful. I got in the car and drove to the parking lot of thestore. As I got down I walked pasta lady that used to live next door to me when I was a kid. I used to play with her children andshe is still a good friend of my mother’s even thought they don’t see eachother often. Obviously she did notrecognize me and we smiled to each other as I got in the store. I say obviously because I am sure thatshe would have had a hard time recognizing me in my male mode after so manyyears.
I got in the store and noticed people looking at me prettymuch in the same way as anyone else coming in the store. As I moved around nobody seemed to careabout me and when I went past some other costumers, mostly females, we wouldsmile at each other or just mind our own business. I noticed some looks but to my interpretation more in thelines of “that is one tall lady”. Believe me, here in Guatemala if anyonenotices a guy in a dress they will not be able to let the event go withoutgiving some noticeable signs. I amnot saying that I will fool everyone all of the time and am sure that manytimes people might give second thoughts but so far none has confronted me or givensigns of awareness. In any case,what matters is that I enjoy my time as Cristy and I try not to mind otherpeople or fidget around to detect any unusual reactions. Passing is totally secondary to havinga good experience and enjoying ourselves.
Once I found what I was looking for I grabbed a shoppingbasket and put the goodies in. Icontinued wondering around until I got to the seafood section. They had some deliciously looking stonecrab legs that I just could not resist so I asked a female clerk if she couldweight some of the packages for me. She helped me weighting several packages until we found one that had theright weight. She was friendly andvery polite and we interacted in a normal way. After that she tagged the package with the price and Iheaded for the checkout counter. The cashier there was less friendly but not rude either. I gave her the information she neededfor the invoice, paid in cash and headed out for the car. I got in the car feeling pretty goodabout the experience, called my wife once again and told her that I was on myway home but that I would stop by a MacDonald’s drive through to get somelunch. I got to the drive throughline, ordered on the speaker and felt great again when the people therereferred to me as a female (thank God that Spanish has a distinctive form formale and female adjectives and nouns). I drove back home and was so thrilled about the experience and thesensations and thoughts that I did not eat any of the junk food I had gotten.
Unlike other times when, after coming back to my parent’shome, I start changing into different outfits and taking lots of photos, Iwondered around and did regular things in the outfit I had worn out. I took some video and took severalphotos with that same outfit and a couple of hours later changed into a sundressand took some photos with it and that was it for me. Here are the links to the videos and the photos wearing thesundress:

I was contempt and feeling pretty good. I had been out once again and wasfeeling so good that I did not need to try many things to feel validated in thefemale role I was playing. Ienjoyed the feeling and focused on enjoying it rather than on trying all thenew dresses and shoes I had brought. There would be other opportunities for that. As I was starting to change my wife called and said that shewas on her way there to help me with taking pictures and I told her that I wasalready winding down and was about to take my makeup off and take a shower tohead for home. She was surprised thatafter almost four months of not dressing I was calling this session short andto be honest, I was surprised too. I realized that it is no longer so much about rehearsal time as it isabout taking the stage and play the role. It is no longer so much about taking photos and video as it is about enjoyingmyself out there in the real world. I’d rather wait 3 months for a good chance to go out than dress once aweek within the confines of my home or my parent’s home.
Tomorrow I will go to the shrink for the eight time and Ican’t assure that I will feel the same but I know that I will do my best toenjoy every second of my time out. I hope this time it does not take too long for me to write a blog aboutit.
Hugs to all,
Cristy.
