Kandi’s friend can’t figure out what is preventing Kandi from transitioning and being Kandi full time.
In the last chapter of Savannah’s story we saw her gorgeously attired in a fabulous gown with flawless hair and makeup attending a gala event at the country club. She was escorted by the southern gentleman, Fred who treated her like a southern belle. Today we visit with Savannah the day after the big glamour event. Fred is picking her up to take her to lunch at the club and his parents are coming, too. Then the plan is for Savannah to “return to Atlanta” for the school year.

Dina Amberle is your hostess, wait staff and chef down at Dina’s Diner.

It’s not easy living two lives; father, provider, and general handyman for the family, and whenever time permits, an attractive and fashionable woman. Kandi writes about how she balances, or doesn’t balance, her two lives in today’s blog.
Humans have a tendency to build walls. Not just the walls of the city that are meant to keep out the barbarians. We mean mental walls. Walls that cut us off from other people. Often self imposed because we don’t think others will approve of us if they know who we really are. Pauline Estelle writes about walls and has some ideas on how we could tear them down.
For several weeks Savannah has been thinking about two things; the formal ball that Fred has invited her to, and the approaching beginning of the new school year. She is excited by shopping for a gown, practicing walking in extra high heels, and learning how to come down stairs in a long skirt without falling down, but she is concerned that when school starts her feminine adventures will be over and she will have to return to a life as a boy named Kenny. The ball is most immediate since Fred has just entered her house and her mother has gone to greet him. How will this evening go?
How many of us were inspired to try on women’s clothing when we saw a rock star dressed up in drag? How about David Bowie in the video for Boys Keep Swinging? Seeing a male rocker or pop singer rocking a dress and heels isn’t as hard these days. Whether on stage or doing it for fun here are 28 male musicians dolling up.
Dina Amberle assembles the finest ingredients and every month she cooks up tasty dishes that are sure to satisfy. Today she mixes up a springtime entree filled with her spicy commentary on breastplates, and then she lets that bake in the oven while she prepares some makeup for men who want to look better in Zoom meetings.

Then comes the strange case of the shoe swaper thief and a dessert of men who love to wear pantyhose. Your table is waiting at Dina’s Diner and it’s 100% open.

Boystown in Chicago is one of the most country’s inclusive LGBTQ+ communities and the oldest officially recognized gay neighborhood in the country. It’s known for its welcoming vibe, nonstop nightlife, LGBTQ-owned businesses, and excellent dining options. Covid-19 put a damper on that nightlife and Julie Slowinski, a normally enthusiastic patron of the area’s offerings, was reluctant to return to her usual haunts over concerns about the lack of social distancing. Last weekend she decided it was time and returned to Boystown. Triumphantly.

Kandi Robbins has been a dark haired lass for a long time. The Breast Form Store asked her to try something different and recommended a Mane Attraction “Seduction” wig. And, in a lighter color than Kandi had been wearing. Now the wig has been worn and the results are in. See what Kandi thinks of Seduction in this post, “Yeah, They Do!” (Blondes that is.)
In this journey to Kandi’s Land Kandi writes about the difference between reasons and excuses. Many crossdressers spend precious years locked in their closets using excuses to explain to themselves why they can’t express their inner woman. Certainly there can be reasons why it’s not possible to come out but Kandi feels that where there’s a will there is a way.
When a rock star wears a dress one time it’s a stunt to get publicity. When they do it more than once we suspect there’s another reason for their choice of attire. The late rocker Kurt Cobain did it more than once. Since Kid Cudi wore a dress on SNL and the media said it was a tribute to Kurt Cobain here are several photos of the man himself rocking dresses.
