I can’t dance.

And I sure as hell can’t sing. But, that doesn’t stop me from trying either when there’s a video camera around. Watch the video and then I’ll pull back the curtain, and give you some dirt on what happened backstage!

The “ga-ga” is for Lannie Rose, and how I’m “ga-ga” for her. The radio is for the notice that she’s going to be on it this week. Lannie is a former TGForum columnist who will be appearing to talk about her latest book.

An Online Auction Site For Us!

The problem with eBay is it’s just too big. I can’t shop there because I get tired of sorting through pages and pages of stuff that’s not what I’m looking for. Or, I get distracted by other things I’m not looking for, and end up forgetting what it was I was originally hunting.

Ten things to do if you’re not at SCC

| Sep 15, 2007 | Reply

The chat rooms are dead. Your IM list is empty. No-one is updating their MySpace page. Seems like every year about this time our Internet communities dry up. And why not? By some estimations, at least a quarter of a million crossdressers, transsexuals, drag queens, grrls, shemales, FTM’s, and admirers have descended upon Atlanta. And […]

How do you stack up?

How do you compare with these demographics? “At least once a month, 88 percent of respondents said they dine out, 66 percent shop at a home improvement store, 63 percent go to the movies, and 53 percent exercise in a gym. Fifty percent go out to a bar or club, 39 percent visit a museum, […]

This Week’s Tits

| Sep 5, 2007 | Reply

And by tits, I mean boobs. And by boobs, I mean gits. Which rhymes with tits. Which in this case means “people so frustratingly stupid you’ll want to pull your hair out by the roots, and then lay whimpering on the floor.”

I resisted signing up at YouTube, and even going there in the first place, for a really long time. But it was inevitable. I find myself wasting long hours looking at dribble, and looking for better dribble.

What A Crock!

| Aug 22, 2007 | Reply

And I’m not talking about those damn plastic shoes, either. The problem with being a writer is that sometimes the ideas don’t come as quickly as you’d like. And sometimes they come faster than you can deal with. When the latter happens, you jot down some notes to hopefully use during the former. But, inevitably, […]

If you look at crossdressing, I think you’ll find a number of secondary benefits. Oh, sure, we learn how to walk in heels, and we’re sympathetic towards women because we know how high heels can hurt. We know how to coordinate an outfit. (Well, some of us do.) Many of us have learned to not […]

When does Marci Bowers find time to perform surgery?

| Aug 11, 2007 | Reply

I mean, c’mon! Every time I see a documentary on transgenderism, she’s in it—her and Jameson Green. Granted, they’re both excellent speakers, and great ambassadors, but isn’t there anyone else out there willing to be interviewed? At this rate, the world is going to believe the transgender world consists of Jameson, Marci and whoever she’s […]

The World’s Fastest Friend of TG’s

| Jul 30, 2007 | Reply

We rented The World’s Fastest Indian over the weekend. The movie, that is. The original is either in a museum or a scrap heap by now, I’m sure. Anyhoo… T-girls are popping up everywhere it seems. When you least expect it, there will be an actor in drag. And this movie is no exception.

From my ears, to your hips.

Or something like that. It was just over three years ago that I got my ears pierced. Both of them. I did it at Be-All in Chicago, after meeting a friend who had both hers done. Since that time, I’ve had remarkably little reaction. In boy-world, I’m a pretty straight-laced, clean cut, conservative-appearing fellow, so […]

Well, technically, TGF News isn’t shaking. But it does point you to what is going on in the world. This week: who’s wearing the bikini and handcuffs? Where do GOP candidates stand on TG discrimination? A woman is told to get out of the ladies’ room, and Latino men pay to flirt with t-girls in […]

Summer movies

I haven’t seen any of the big summer blockbusters. Other than seeing Johnny Depp in eyeliner, I haven’t cared for the first two Pirates movies. The fact that Peter Parker has a secret second wardrobe doesn’t really grab me this time around either. And I have to say I’m disappointed with another flick I haven’t […]
