My wife and I were invited to an exclusive all gay party, on Sunday 07/18/09. The person she used to work for who owned a very popular gay club in Atlantic City had remodeled the top 2 floors of an 8 story office building into his private home.

The only place I've ever seen this type of architecture and design is in the most upscale hotels in NYC. He had cut an opening between the 2 floors and made a mezzanine type balcony with a Y shaped stair case. The residence has a main kitchen and a private one off their bedroom, and so many amenity's I can't describe them all, it was like a Palace.

He also had, besides about 125 guests a celebrity guest, Carson, from the show "Queer Eye for the straight guy". He's not as flamboyant in person as on the show, a really nice person. There was a small entourage with him, one person may have been his S/O and he was really very good looking with a great figure, even I as a "straight guy" had an eye for him.

The event included mostly h'orderves, an open bar, a pianist and many friends we had made over the years. The owner owns a 1960 Corvair and because he hadn't started it in 2 years asked me to see if I could get it running because I was factory trained on Corvair's, big deal, they were taken off the road because of Bruce Nader's book "unfit at any speed", but I lucked out and got it running in less than 2-3 minuets (corroded points).

I've included a few pictures and my wife with Carson.

The Kid from Broo

I was about to go out this Friday night 07/10/09, but it was a little to early (7:30 PM) so I started to fiddle with my PC which I totally screwed up (maybe someone will volunteer help).

I get a phone call from my son, who lives in NNJ about 2 miles where the jet liner landed in the river. He says "hold on, someone wants to talk to you", I figure it's my grand daughter, instead, it's "THE KID FROM BROKLYN". I don't know if any of you have seen his YouTube clips, but his logic and the way he presents it makes you "Thinkaboutit" his closing line.

I was just coincidental my son was standing in a check out line at a food store and recognized him and mentioned my pop would really be impressed that I got to meet you, The Kid (about 60 years old) said "give him a call, I'll talk to him", he was not at all the way he is in his Ytube rants and I was very impressed that someone like him would volunteer to talk with a stranger just to be nice, of course, he doesn't know of Louise, I'm debating if I should send a picture of the person on the other end of the line he was speaking with. After you see a few of his RANTS you can just imagine the spin he would put on it.

My Doctors office visit

My doctor took me off my hyper tension medication and wanted to recheck my pressure. I had arrived at his office a few minuets early a lady patient came in and sat across from me, I was dressed in a tight pair of stretch form fitting Gloria Vanderbilt jeans and a woman's tank top also form fitting. As a guy I'm built pretty good, many people think I send all day in a gym, but contrary too that I haven't lifted since I was 16 although I race bike, that keeps me fit.
I noticed this lady kept looking at me and smiling, but not in a patronizing way because of my attire, but more as if she was attracted to me, she was nice, but not really my interest. A few minuets later a couple other women came in for their appointments. The younger one had a very interesting tattoo on her foot, I mentioned to her that my wife's girl friend just had one done and she said it hurt like hell, she confirmed it did hurt and she had it done to cover another one up, she also mentioned she had her rib cage done too, but wanted to avoid areas that would be exposed to the public like arms or neck because of fear of being judged, she also added that being tattooed can be addictive.
I felt we had a some cohesion because of my compulsion to cross dress and shared some of my Louise pictures I carry in my "man bag". She got a big smile on her face and said one of her best friends is a "Drag Queen" in Del and he looks great, but loved my look too. I explained there was a difference between DQ's and CD's but she was already aware that many "straight" men love to CD. She was called in the exam room before I had a chance to give her my card, I'm sure she has some interesting friends.
Back to the other Lady, she had been called in earlier and my exam was very quick so we were both done at the same time. We walked out together and a conversation I initiated by mentioning the Calypso music that had been on the radio and her stating to the receptionist her recent visit to Jamaica. She then mentioned that she was very impressed by my physique which of course caused me to say my Twin Sister was built exactly like I was and I took out one of my pictures, of course she wanted to be polite and said, wow, she is built, I had to laugh when I said, it's me.
Her comment was "here I am looking at you as a very macho guy I wanted to meet and look at you", she went on "I love it". Long story short, she has my card.
Contrary to many cross dressers who tend to remain closeted, I want to share my other side. Of course, I'm not the only one who is comfortable doing that. I think it pretty much has to do with your apperiance and comfort as to your presentation and the number of times you've been in public in traditional enviorments. I don't pretend I pass although I've been told I do, I know some CD's are almost totally passable and if a person isn't paying attention they would never know.
I know and feel I look OK. But for me ACCEPTANCE is more important, and I seem to be universally accepted in any environment.

Standing Ovation from Red Necks

Last Saturday, 06 28 09, my wife, her girl friend and me as Louise. The place we go to is, for lack of a better description, the image in Webster's Dictionary uses next to "Red Neck Bar", this is a BAR that sells some food and has Karaoke on Saturday nights. Most of the clientele are construction workers and for the most part have a limited sense of humor.

I went there alone (without my wife) about 8-9 months ago because of a few people who like to follow the Karaoke host invited me, I felt some what safe because these people are comfortable with me and will usually mitigate problems before they get out of hand if need be.

Mike the host likes to call me up for just shock value, I can't sing worth a damn and I know it, but I do the best I can and surprisingly no one leaves, I think they're more fascinated with the way I look and the courage I have to just try to sing let alone being all dressed up.

This night, Mike had me sing two songs, both are Louis Armstrong hits "What a wonderful world" and the second one "Hello Dolly" which I did with the Louise Armstrong gravely voice, I must have done a pretty fair rendition, because even the reddest of the Red Necks all stood up and cheered, applauded and whistled for me. TALK ABOUT ACCEPTANCE!
