Time For A New Hobby?

| Feb 27, 2007 | Reply

I’ve been crossdressing for a long time and you have too, in all likelihood. Maybe it’s time to find a new avenue for release—at least while we are in the comforts of home, apartment, or— judging by a lot of the photos I see—in a cheap motel room. I heard a commentator say before the […]

No outing. I promise. Well, no intentional outing anyway. Maybe accidental. (And to tell you the truth, I can’t even remember who it was I was going to out in the first place anyway.) But I do know that I don’t know why Jeffrey Carlson is not a household name in the TG community. You’re […]

Men in Foam, Lot’s of Foam: Thoughts on Black Comics in Drag

| Feb 10, 2007 | Reply

The Holiday Inn ad

Do you remember the commercial?  In 1997, during the Super Bowl, Holiday Inn ran a spot where the central theme was about a post-op TS.  I’d forgotten about it, until MSNBC named it one of the worst ever.
