URNA DETECTIVES NEWS FLASH! DAN, JON & THE CASE OF THE MISSING JOURNAL ENTRIES!
Karen Reeves December 27th, 2008 8:54 pm MSTHi Everyone!
It appears that the case of the missing journal entry postings has been SOLVED!
I can see from my own list of the number of journal entries posted on my site that last June 4th was a busy day. I know I have posted quite a few journal entries over the years but not 53 of them!!! I can talk and write alot but . . . . .
Trying to repair the site the guys posted over 30 test entries on my site in just a few hours! When the site recently got repaired these disappearing journal entries suddenly reappeared. I just noticied this and have spent time deleting the test items.
I would suggest that everyone go delete repetative journal/test items to cut down on the clutter.
Thanks Dan & Jon for the great work in making Urnotalone such an awesome place!!! You have proved yourselves again!
*Smiles*

Merry Christmas 2008 To You All!
Karen Reeves December 20th, 2008 11:51 pm MSTHi Everyone!
It is that time of year and yesterday's/today's snowstorm just seems to add to the festive mood of Christmas. I know that getting ready for the holidays can be stressful and painful.
I enjoy all the bright lights, good cheer, parties, the presents, and Xmas dinner. But let us remember the true meaning of Xmas. It is the day that we celeberate the life of one person and the meaning of what it is to strive and have a better planet to live on.
Enjoy your holidays no matter your belief system!!!!!
*Kisses*

GOOBLE GOOBLE GOOBLE-Some November Thoughts !
Karen Reeves November 16th, 2008 10:00 pm MSTHi Everyone!
I hope that all of you have a great Thanksgiving. We all have, though it may not seem that way many times, so much to be thankful for. The next time you get down emotionally remember that things could be a whole lot worse. Many people are in that predicament.
Don't each too much turkey!

Are They......?
Linda Lewis October 14th, 2008 9:14 am MDTThis journal entry is for all of you who have been asking about, wondering if, or curious to know, if my breasts, seen in my latest pics, are real. They're not. What I have is an expensive prosthetic that I purchased from a manufacturer called Pro-Active Prosthetics located in the UK. What I have is called a Cleavage Croptop. Here's the URL for their website: www.proactiveprosthetics.com The best way to find out about the Cleavage Croptop is to visit their site and click on the "Cleavage Range" button in the navigation panel on the left side of their Home Page. Everything is explaine there about the Croptop. It is expensive, but it is well worth the money invested. I have the full "D" cup size Croptop. It takes about 6 months from ordering to delivery. I love my Croptop. It's the next best thing to having implants.

Back again
Linda Lewis September 6th, 2008 9:49 am MDTThose of you who have been following the problems I had with my neighbors at the apartment complex I live in, the two guys who were giving me the most problems moved out finally. I hope that they have to put up with the crap I had to deal with from them, from their new neighbors. What goes around comes around. After 9 months, I'm free to be Linda again. I will be adding new pics here soon, so stay tuned for those.
As for the moving situation that I had on my profile page earlier, that situation will be reversed shortly. The new neighbors who have moved in below me have been doing a good job in keeping their puppy quiet for most of the time. I will be talking with the apartment manager about renewing my lease when it comes time to do that again.
One last thing before I end this entry, I have been asked by my dear friend FoxyKaren if I would like to re-join SSofNE. Karen honey, YES!!!! I would love to re-join. If you are reading this sometime soon, please send me an invite. Thank you love. I've missed you all very much. *Kisses*

Long Time....
Linda Lewis August 15th, 2008 8:21 am MDTI tried to post this entry yesterday, but it didn't take, so I'll just be brief here with this entry. I haven't dressed as Linda since last November because of a problem with neighbors in the apartment building I live in. I don't know when i'll get to dress again. I apologise to all for not updating my profile or my pictures, as I have nothing new to post because of this. I have no idea when I'll be able to dress again as I keep getting told by the apartment manager that they'll be gone soon. That was supposed to be three months ago. Life sucks.
[Comment on this post]
A Long Time Since....
Linda Lewis August 14th, 2008 10:58 am MDTBelieve it or not but it has been since November 15th, 2007, since the last time I have dressed as Linda. This situation is due to the continuing problem I have at the apartment complex I live in. The tenants in the apartment below mine are the main reason I haven't been dressing. They are a couple of young guys who don't give a damn about anyone. They are rude, noisy and have caused all sorts of problems for everyone in the building, including going to a young womans apartment in the wee hours of the night and basically scaring the living daylights out of her.
Several of us other tenants have complained to the complex manager about these two. I have spoken several times to the manager and she had told me time and again that they would be out of the apartment when their lease was up. Now, I was told that this would happen at the end of May. It didn't happen. Then I was told it would be at the end of June. It didn't happen. Then I was told it was the end of July. One of the two did move out, but the other is still there. I was basically lied to by the manager just to keep me quiet. I know some of you would say that I should move. Well, I had just signed a new lease back in February for 12 months. I'm only through 5 1/2 months of that lease, so moving isn't an option right now. Besides, I have lived there for 3 1/2 years now. I shouldn't be the one to move.
Anyways...I have grown restless and irritable from this situation. My profile here and on other sites have gotten stale due to no new pictures or updates about going out. Currently I have no idea when this will change, so if I have you listed as a friend here and you no longer wish to have me as a friend, you are more than welcome to remove me from your friends list. As I have written on my profile, I don't know when I'll be back.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate the messages the few of you do send my way.

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*

THIS IS ONLY A TEST! SOME JUNE THOUGHTS
Karen Reeves June 4th, 2008 6:36 pm MDTHi Everyone!
I am writing this journal entry to see if it will input or not! *Fingers crossed*
Summer is almost here and for many girls the makeup and clothes go into the box and the box goesinto the closet. While makeup does not work well in 90 degree weather and worse in 90% humidity you can still enjoy dressing. How about buying a new swim suit and sunning yourself in a secluded spot? Or if you are more adventuresome go out in public in a smart little outfit or a sleveless top and mini shorts! Give the guys some "eye candy!"
Enjoy the great weather!

~Some May Thoughts~
Karen Reeves May 19th, 2008 7:28 pm MDTI tried to write this entry a week ago but the gremlins get me from posting it. I SO LOVE COPMUTERS!!!!!
It is May an this is the perfect month to go "out and about" on the town. I do miss wearing my leather coat and boots and regret putting them away for a summer hiatus till autumn's chilll returns.
Think of this time of year as a chance to enhance, and expand, your wardrobe. Don't we all want to go on another shoping spree? Be decadent once in awhile! Credit card please!

Spring Is Here! ~Some May Thoughts~
Karen Reeves May 7th, 2008 7:38 pm MDTI think it is safe to say around here that spring is now firmly entrenched and winter is on the retreat. I love the warmth of spring and putting on the bright, lighter clothes though I do have pangs of regret putting away the leather coats and boots. I just love the smell and feel of leather and I have one hell of a boot fetish which summer cuts into in a big way!
For you part timers don't feel that you must put your fem self away for the duration till September. Find a nice outfit and a secluded spot to enjoy your ligther wardrobe. Time is the most precious commodsity and you can not put a price tag on it. Once time has passed it is gone forever. Enjoy!
For us 24/7 girls we will just have to sweat it out. Oh! Excuse me! We will perspire!

To be or not to be
Chrissy Catherine Baby March 22nd, 2008 2:34 pm MDTLife is full of choices, what to eat, where to go, who to be, what we do and how we choose effects a lot of people, especially ourselves. The most important person we affect is ourselves, shouldn't we chose the thing that makes us happy, not doing something just so somebody else doesn't disapprove of us. All of us here have accepted the Transgender lifestyle in one form or another, whatever the reason, it is of our own chosing and we have to be comfortable with ourselves, not worry about what everyone in society thinks. So stop throwing away all those pretty clothes, make yourself happy. A good friend of mine asked me why I dress and I told him I enjoy experiencing both sides of life, both male and female, because of it, I have become a better Human Being. In the words of a great man, Yogi Berra, "When you come to the fork in the road, take it." A few of you have asked about my "yearbook" picture, well 13 years ago (ugh), a photgrapher friend of mine took it to replace the one in my own high school yearbook and I pasted it next to my guy one. If I only had done it in High School, I might have went to the prom -lol.

To be or not to be
Chrissy Catherine Baby March 19th, 2008 10:00 pm MDTWe all question ourselves in our daily lives about the choices we make. But we have to realize that it is our life, and we are the only one that can ensure our own happiness. We make a choice and then worry about if it were the right one or we are criticized but others who disagree with that choice. A close friend asked me why I dressed as a girl, I told him that it was a part of me and I enjoy being two different people, by experiencing life from both sides, I am a better Human Being, just that I can't decide on who I want to be when I grow up. Like the Army said "Be all you can Be", stop throwing away all those pretty clothes, if it feels good, do it, if it feels right do it even more. For those of you who asked, that "yearbook" photo was taken by a photographer friend of mine 13 years ago (ugh), to replace the one in my real high school yearbook, it's cut out an pasted in there today, if only I had the courage of my convictions then, I probably would have been asked to the prom -lol.

Discounts for the Fantasia Fair conference
Jamie Dailey February 24th, 2008 8:29 pm MSTIf anyone is considering going to this year's Fantasia Fair conference in October, you may want to register before March 1st. As of March, the early registration discount will no longer be available.
If you are not familiar with Fantasia Fair, it is a week-long event held in Provincetown, MA. It is more than just a conference and more than a vacation. Like most other conferences, there are workshops during the day. In recent years, workshops have been presented that deal with such topics as developing a feminine voice, makeup application, hair removal, facial feminization surgery, burlesque dancing, sex and relationships, and of course, gender theory. Each evening is some social event such as formal banquets, a fashion show, drag show, or concert. But what sets Fantasia Fair apart from other conferences is that it is not held in a single hotel. Instead, workshops and events are held at different locations throughout the tourism district of Provincetown. The town is a big part of the special feeling people get from attending.
The villiage of Provincetown is well known as a GLBT Mecca and much of the town's ecomony is centered around tourism, so the townfolk are very serious about making sure that everyone feels safe and comfortable. You can walk down the streets of Provincetown en femme and no one will treat you with anything other than respect and courtesy. You can go shopping or get a massage or get your nails done dressed however you wish.
Unlike most other conferences, there are no "vendors" at Fantasia fair. Instead, the business of Provincetown are the Fair's vendors. Since we bring to town a significant amount of people each year, the local business give special discounts to Fair goers. These discounts, on top of the end-of-season sales, makes Provincetown a real bargain.
But one of the best things about Fantasia Fair is the people it attracts. Not just the world-class experts who give the workshops, but all of the people who every year make the trip to this villiage. Many of these people are wives and significant others. Each year, there are workshops for significant others and partners as well as for couples. The friendly environment of Provincetown and the Fair give you lots of time to meet other couples and individuals in T-partnered relationships, to share stories and insights, to become part of a community. The Fair organizers have long understood the value of the Fair to couples, and how much the presence of partners adds to the Fair. To encourage couples to come to FanFair, there is a generous discount for SO registration.
A large portion of the planning for each year's Fair is done in the late winter and early spring and the larger the numbers that can be guarenteed the better the deals that can be struck when making the arrangements for the Fair. The Fair organizers pass on these discounts to those who can register early. To take advantage of these discounts, make sure that you register before March 1st.
If you are not 100% sure if you can make it to this event, you can register now and get nearly a full refund if later on you have to cancel. Check out the Fantasia Fair website for details on the refund policy. The Fantasia Fair website is at http://www.fantasiafair.org.
I can't wait to see all of you in Provincetown this October!
Hugs,
Jamie

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!

Hi Everyone !
"IF I CAN REACH FOR THE STARS IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SUPPORTING HELP OF MY TGIRLFRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS WHOSE SHOULDERS I STAND UPON !"
~SOME NOVEMBER THOUGHTS~
November is now here and all turkeys are getting nervous
In November we have two important holidays: Veterans' Day & Thanksgiving. Let us all take stock of all that is positive in our lives and how fortunate we are compared to many others in this world. Let us also pay tribute to the women and men veterans who have defended our freedoms and our nation. They are heroes 24/7.
SS of NE Outing ( 13 October 2007 )
A few of my friends in Sorority Sisters of New England came down to visit me (Denise Armel and Jackie T). We hung around during the day on Saturday and I showed them the area that I live in.
That evening we met up with Jennifer Lane and her friend Audrey Conrad. We went out for dinner at a lovely Thai Restaurant in New London, CT called Bangkok City. Needless to say we all ate too much but had a great time.
For me the seafood is the best overall. I think the waiter enjoyed the company of all of us girls. Giggles!
After dinner we went clubbing at O'Neil's Brass Rail. The music was great but it was too chilly to stay on the outside deck for an extended time. We danced inside. I played a little pool and split a couple of games with Jackie.
THE MAIN PICTURE
This picture was taken on Thursday, 13 September 2007at the SCC Convention in Atlanta. I was sitting in the center hallway of the 3rd floor in my hotel where we stayed. I was afraid the glass top "counter" that I was sitting on would shatter from my heavy weight and impale my rear end:-)
ASK KAREN
I hope you like this feature also. Just email me any questions you might have and if I select your question, I will answer it next month. PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR QUESTION AND DO NOT WRITE IT IN MY GUEST BOOK. YOU WILL OVERWHELM IT! No obscene questions please!
Dear Karen,
Which convention do you prefer to attend Karen?
Mr. Eager Beaver
Beaver Falls, OR
Dear Mr. Beaver,
That is a hard question. All conventions have many of the same attributes: seminars, banquets, dances, and clubbing. What sets the conventions apart from each other are the organization of the conventions and the different people who attend each convention.
I prefer SCC because: 1. It is Atlanta! 2. SCC is very well run. 3. It is the largest TG Convention in the U.S. so you get to see many girls and guys that you would not normally see at any other convention.
I urge anyone thinking of attending just one convention to make it SCC.
FOXYKAREN.NET
My website has been totally revamped. It has three new galleries, for a total of 30 new pictures. The pictures are also in larger frame when you click upon them in the drop down bar. Now you don't need to wear glasses. You can reach right out and touch me:-)
The site also now includes a News Links where you can find out my latest travels and event appearances.
Click on the tab or banner above my profile here in URNA, check it out, and leave a guest book comment if you like! Thanks!
I wanted to present myself to the world in a positive light and to tell the world about myself. I think I have done that. I also wanted to represent the TG community at large.
I have said it before and I say it again, any accolades I receive are due to ALL OF YOU ! ! ! Thank you for supporting me in URNA! We ALL need love and friendship, anybody who believes differently does not understand human nurturing. Nobody can exist in a vacuum. I hope my website makes you proud of yourselves as well. I am honored to be your friend :-)
KAREN'S NEW YEAR RESOLUTION
I shall continue to work on this resolution in 2007. I still need to better myself in this department a lot!
I am dedicating my life to helping all you Tgirls. I pledge to help all of you by offering my best advice, lending a hand, or just shutting up and listening to you. I am not a genius nor do I have all the answers here but I do care.
I know I am not supposed to reveal my resolution but if I state it publicly then you can all hold me to it ! May I suggest some punishments if I come up short ?
1. You naysayers can say to me, "I told you so !"
2. You can use my picture as a dartboard !
3. You can put me on a new site URA- You Are Alone !
4. You can force me to wear guy's clothes- NO NO NO ! ! !
KAREN'S 8 FRONT PAGE FRIENDS FOR NOVEMBER 2007
I noticed in March that the four friends on my front page were now boxed in yellow and they had four others joining them there as well. What was this, an outbreak of Yellow Fever? Oh my !
I then received an email from URNA explaining to me that they had instituted, for paid members, the ability to reconstitute your front friends page to list your top 8 "Best Friends"
But what if you have more than 8 Best Friends? What if they list YOU and you can NOT list THEM? Oh no! Surprised
So many of you wonderful girlfriends and boyfriends have reached out and touched my life that this presented a real problem to me. I had to find a solution. Here is mine starting in August.
I shall select a new top 8 "Front Page Friends" each month. Those people who are Gold Members and place me in their #1 slot on their front page will be in the top row, slots #3 & #4. Sorority Sisters of New England will be in slots #1 & #2.
Those Gold Members who have me on their front page in positions 2-8 will be in my second row, slots #7 & #8. Sorority Sisters of New England Gold Members will be in slot #5 and SSofNE Free Members will be in slot #6. Make any sense? Probably not:-)
I do not mean to slight non paying members but it is the paying members who support this site and the non paying members ability to have profiles here. Jon, Vicky, and Dan can not run this place as a charity.
My friends who care enough to list me on their front page at some point should receive some recognition. Saying "Everyone's my friend but ONLY THESE 8 will be on my front page forever!" seems a little too exclusive. I wish to thank these people for showing their friendship to me.
I will notify those selected that they have been selected. This is a small way to pay tribute in my monthly journal posting "SOME (MONTH) THOUGHTS".
This will be in lieu of my monthly "Karen's TGurl Awards".
So many of you hold a special place in my heart. You have helped me so much. I hope this solution does not offend anyone. If so then please email me.
Thank you for reading this and understanding! Laughing
*With Love & Respect*

SCC WAS FUNTASTIC~SOME OCTOBER THOUGHTS
Karen Reeves October 2nd, 2007 5:55 pm MDT ~Some Thoughts: October 2007~Check Out My Revised & Updated Website: FoxyKaren.net
Hi Everyone !
"IF I CAN REACH FOR THE STARS IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SUPPORTING HELP OF MY TGIRLFRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS WHOSE SHOULDERS I STAND UPON !"
October is now here ! This is my favorite month of the year. Did you know that the WTNH TV8 (New Haven) Weatherman, Dr. Mel Goldstein, states that overall October is the least stormiest month of the year on average? HUMMM:-)
My favorite season is on tap ! The cooler, less humid days of autumn are a thrill for me. Warm days are followed by cool, crisp nights. The leaves on the trees of New England are adorned with bright fall colors. IT'S BOOT WEATHER GIRLS!!!!!
I hope this year to get some nice autumn pictures for this site. We shall see how well they come out!
Southern Comfort Conference ( 12 September - 16 September 2007 )
I attended my 4th SCC in Atlanta, Georgia this year. I arrived at the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport on Wednesday evening around 8:30 P.M. after an eventful flight.
I do have ONE MORE gripe with the airlines. Many of the airlines use smaller commuter jets now thus clogging up the airports with many more smaller planes and delaying flights. I also get irked with the virtually non existent luggage compartments on these flights. I went out and bought a much smaller piece of carry on luggage but since the overheads now can not store anything large than a loaf of bread I had to check all my belongings. Can you imagine going to a TG convention with no dresses????? At least I was allowed to carry my purse on board.
Once I got to the hotel I was politely "ambushed" by many friends. It was great hanging out in the lobby but after a day at work and a plane flight I was bushed. Fortunately my friend Alexis Rene bought me dinner so I did not starve. Thanks Alexis:-)
The hotel was new. I loved the decor of the hotel but heard rumblings that the service was not very good. I said they had better get their act together before the number of attendees to SCC tripled by Saturday night. Fortunately it did ! Disaster averted.
On Thursday I rolled out of bed to do a modeling session with Jamie Austin. I enjoyed it and got some great shots out in the garden with all the lovely flowers and the trees. I'm sitting on those pics for now. Sorry girls & guys !
In the afternoon one of my best friends, Lisa White of Massachusetts, arrived. She was my roommate and was attending SCC for the first time. When I greeted her up on the 3rd floor next to our room she looked so sweet and cute (of course she always does!!!!!). We chatted away in our room while I got her settled.
Dinner was at the Italian Restaurant in the lower level of the hotel. Lisa and I had Jenna Taylor, her roommate Lara, and Simone Lee as dinner partners. The food was great, the company even greater. I wish to thank Jenna for springing for the bill for me. Thanks sweetie:-):-):-) We were all feeling good after the wine.
That evening at dinner. I was wearing a hot blue, form fitting dress. I must admit that I was decked out to take no prisoners. None of the POWs seemed to mind surrendering to Lisa and I.
At any conventions there are room parties, visiting in the bars, and dancing. We did all three and hit the room around 4 A.M. BEDTIME !!!!! SNORE:-)
On Friday we slept to 11:30 A.M. and rolled out of bed to go to breakfast, errr lunch. The food was not notable. We did receive a pep talk on TG legislation winding its' way thru Congress. Hopefully discrimination against the TG community will be outlawed federally though I am not holding my breath on this.
In the evening we went out clubbing. Megan (who lives in Atlanta) drove us around in her Mercedes convertible. It was cool out but not bad. We hit this club and had a great time dancing, drinking, playing pool, drinking, chatting, and ahh drinking! Thanks for being a perfect tour guide Meagan. You are one live wire !
Lisa and I were in bed by 3:45 A.M. WOW earlier this night ! HA HA HA !
On Saturday we were dragging and since the lunches at the event were not to impress Lisa and I decided to curl up in bed and have room service. The Eggs Benedict breakfast (at noon time) was awesome. It was pricey but we deserved it!
In the afternoon I filmed a video for a television show. I'm not sure I did that well but the producer wanted to film Tgirls to portray our lives in a NON Jerry Springer type of atmosphere.
Funny thing is that I knew what I wanted to say UNTIL THE CAMERA STARTED ROLLING. I ad libbed it. If this show makes it to television look for it. With me in the show it maybe on the SciFi Channel !
The Saturday night banquet was great! The food was outstanding, the dancing and music was nice, and we each got a coffee mug as a keepsake. I got to bed "early" since I had to fly out the next morning at 9:30 A.M.
The flight home was not a problem. Thank goodness !
I want to give a huge thanks to my roommate Lisa White. She is one beautiful, classy, mature, and awesome friend. She was the best roommate by not snoring, hogging the bathroom, or fighting over make up.
We hung out a lot and went all over the place. I could not have asked for a more perfect roommate. In every way Lisa White is amazing. Girlfriend thanks for a nice time. You are definitely the best and girls a lot older than you should follow your example of class and dignity, mixed with plenty of sexiness! You have nothing to learn from them!!!!!
THE MAIN PICTURE
This picture was taken in June at the Be All Convention in Chicago. I was standing in the center atrium. Why did I post a picture of the Be All right after SCC you may ask. Well everyone else posted pictures of SCC. I am giving the site a change of pace.
ASK KAREN
I hope you like this feature also. Just email me any questions you might have and if I select your question, I will answer it next month. PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR QUESTION AND DO NOT WRITE IT IN MY GUEST BOOK. YOU WILL OVERWHELM IT! No obscene questions please!
Dear Karen,
Why would anyone want to put you on television? I see no point in it. You have nothing to offer.
Miss I.M.A. _itch
Downer's Ville, OK
Dear Miss _itch,
Ahh I know you so well. Maybe I will be the lead in for a new reality show. Friday the 13th, part 56! (Scream erupt all over!).
I agree with the sentiments of many here regarding, "You got a 10" being repeatedly written in guest books. It's okay to do it but it does "get old". I'm guilty too ! I only started to do this so folks would know that I awarded them a 10. When I write to ANYONE in a positive manner from now on then you AUTOMATICALLY have my 10 vote if your ratings are on.
I also do not "cut & paste" the very same guest book comments, by the hundreds, each day to everyone. That "illusion" of individuality of comments to people when it, in reality, is not is just plain insincere.
FOXYKAREN.NET
My website has been totally revamped. It has three new galleries, for a total of 30 new pictures. The pictures are also in larger frame when you click upon them in the drop down bar. Now you don't need to wear glasses. You can reach right out and touch me:-)
The site also now includes a News Links where you can find out my latest travels and event appearances.
Click on the tab or banner above my profile here in URNA, check it out, and leave a guest book comment if you like! Thanks!
I wanted to present myself to the world in a positive light and to tell the world about myself. I think I have done that. I also wanted to represent the TG community at large.
I have said it before and I say it again, any accolades I receive are due to ALL OF YOU ! ! ! Thank you for supporting me in URNA! We ALL need love and friendship, anybody who believes differently does not understand human nurturing. Nobody can exist in a vacuum. I hope my website makes you proud of yourselves as well. I am honored to be your friend :-)
KAREN'S NEW YEAR RESOLUTION
I shall continue to work on this resolution in 2007. I still need to better myself in this department a lot!
I am dedicating my life to helping all you Tgirls. I pledge to help all of you by offering my best advice, lending a hand, or just shutting up and listening to you. I am not a genius nor do I have all the answers here but I do care.
I know I am not supposed to reveal my resolution but if I state it publicly then you can all hold me to it ! May I suggest some punishments if I come up short ?
1. You naysayers can say to me, "I told you so !"
2. You can use my picture as a dartboard !
3. You can put me on a new site URA- You Are Alone !
4. You can force me to wear guy's clothes- NO NO NO ! ! !
KAREN'S 8 FRONT PAGE FRIENDS FOR OCTOBER 2007
I noticed in March that the four friends on my front page were now boxed in yellow and they had four others joining them there as well. What was this, an outbreak of Yellow Fever? Oh my !
I then received an email from URNA explaining to me that they had instituted, for paid members, the ability to reconstitute your front friends page to list your top 8 "Best Friends"
But what if you have more than 8 Best Friends? What if they list YOU and you can NOT list THEM? Oh no! Surprised
So many of you wonderful girlfriends and boyfriends have reached out and touched my life that this presented a real problem to me. I had to find a solution. Here is mine starting in August.
I shall select a new top 8 "Front Page Friends" each month. Those people who are Gold Members and place me in their #1 slot on their front page will be in the top row, slots #3 & #4. Sorority Sisters of New England will be in slots #1 & #2.
Those Gold Members who have me on their front page in positions 2-8 will be in my second row, slots #7 & #8. Sorority Sisters of New England Gold Members will be in slot #5 and SSofNE Free Members will be in slot #6. Make any sense? Probably not:-)
I do not mean to slight non paying members but it is the paying members who support this site and the non paying members ability to have profiles here. Jon, Vicky, and Dan can not run this place as a charity.
My friends who care enough to list me on their front page at some point should receive some recognition. Saying "Everyone's my friend but ONLY THESE 8 will be on my front page forever!" seems a little too exclusive. I wish to thank these people for showing their friendship to me.
I will notify those selected that they have been selected. This is a small way to pay tribute in my monthly journal posting "SOME (MONTH) THOUGHTS".
This will be in lieu of my monthly "Karen's TGurl Awards".
So many of you hold a special place in my heart. You have helped me so much. I hope this solution does not offend anyone. If so then please email me.
Thank you for reading this and understanding! Laughing
*With Love & Respect*
~Karen~
