Pictorial: Henri David’s Halloween Ball 2010
Going above and beyond the call of duty I, Angela Gardner, got dolled up and went out on the night I have to stay in and work on TGForum’s Monday Edition. Why did I do it? Because the biggest Halloween party on the East Coast was happening in Philadelphia and I had to cover it […]
Slideshow: Halloween at Angela’s Laptop Lounge
For over five years I’ve been hosting parties in the Philadelphia area that I call Angela’s Laptop Lounge. The parties are TG centric — they’re for us, and others can come but it’s first and foremost a TG party. I got tired of having to go to a gay club to have fun or go […]

I hate transsexuals…
I hate transsexuals. Well, that’s not exactly true. Granted, I don’t care for the phenomenon where if you get two TSs together, within minutes the topic goes to hormones, what they’re taking, and at what dosage. No, I don’t hate transsexuals. I hate how they make me feel. And when I say that, I mean […]

Whatever Happened to Carolyn?

It’s that time of year, a day of holy obligation for crossdressers — Halloween — draws near. And how many of us have used a Halloween party as an excuse to crossdress around our friends? How many have thought about how cool it would be to go to a costume party at a friend’s home […]
