My Day in Philadelphia
Well, I finally get to the Philadelphia Convention Center and the schedule was an hour later than what was on the ticket, so I had time to kill. I went to the Terminal Market that has many Pennsylvania Dutch vendors and got a bagel with cream cheese, the lady's were very polite and the one who waited on me insisted she toast my bagel while she made small talk with me.
When I finally got into the conference hall I wanted to sit near the front, but all the isle seats were taken, I chose to sit where a late 30's early 40's man sitting one seat over, I didn't want to make him uncomfortable or make it look as if I was "cruising" which I don't do. About 5 minuets later a middle aged attractive lady asked if that seat between us was vacant and I offered it to her. The guy sitting on her right started a conversation with her about her reason for being at the seminar, which happened to be the same as mine (photography) he mentioned he was a GA, he asked what camera she owned and I commented I owned the same brand, she all of a sudden started to ignore the other person and started conversing with me even through some of the seminar. She asked me if I would mind if she contacted me after wards so I gave her my card.\
I just can't understand why in most cases, when I'm Louise, people are always gracious towards me and even go out of their way to be polite and even make gestures that I have never received as Lou, I have to admit, I have often been alone and thought about it or talked with my wife about how kind people are to Louise and have had tears in my eye's. I had asked my wife one time, I wonder how my life would have been if I were not born Lou, and have just sobbed because of knowing how hard Lou struggled to be able to be accepted as a human being.
After an hour we were offered a break, I needed the rest room bad. I was going to use the lady's but as you know it was packed and I just didn't need some hysterical woman yelling FIRE if she saw me walk in there and made me as a male in a dress. I then proceeded into the men's room short hallway, as I did a man said loudly "Ma'am you're going into the men's room, I ignored him and as I opened the door another man was pulling from the inside and looked right into my eye's and said "Miss this is the men's room, I smiled, another man behind the first one yelled the same thing, I turned and smiled. I waited in a line for a stall, a few men turned to looked then must have figured me out, I finally got into a stall and could hear a few commenting that a lady was in the stall. It was a hoot.
I forgot to mention, on the way into the main terminal up the escalator into the train station there were about 5 police with machine guns and then a few using wands and searching passengers luggage who were going onto a train, the Pope apparently was traveling or possibly the presidential candidates. I was waved by (go figure).
I got a taxi back to the train station and was sitting waiting for my train to board, a black lady walked by and obviously recognized my gender, she put her belongings on the other side of the isle and then came over to me and offered her business cards, she's a casting director and has worked with Bill Crosby and asked me to send some head shots and a resume, but I doubt anything will come of it, but again it was a gesture Lou would have never received.

Most likely an end
We talked on line and met at my home. Well after seeing him in person and how our interaction developed it was love at first sight for me. I really don't consider myself gay or Bi, but have become very open minded as Louise which has transferred to me as Lou. This person did inform me he was very Bi sexual and had a number of encounters which I informed him that I was not really into and preferred exclusivity, he said that would be difficult for him, so I have to admit I was walking on thin ice if I was to allow myself to get to involved. I do tend to be on the possessive side and was hoping by me satisfying all and any of his needs and being safe, clean, mature, stable (a matter of opinion) that I could win him over to being exclusive to me.
Anyway, I have voluntarily (as an armature photographer) taken thousands of pictures for him, taken he and his wife out in public for his first experience's so he could develop a comfort level in those environments, in a way I was his mentor. His presentation and appearance in my opinion was one of the best, a great figure and a good look and manners.
Over that time I had felt that he was developing very quickly to the point where he was no longer in need of our relationship, instead of him coming to me, and I realize his work constraints made if difficult, I would travel to him. But it was becoming painfully obvious I was losing someone who was very special to me. For example, he doesn't IM me any longer ( he used to almost daily) when I IM him he gives me one or to word replies ( yeah, busy), he makes many posts to Yahoo groups he monitors but has no time to say hello, how was your weekend or how do you feel?
They're are a lot of negative aspects to our relationship, but both our wives are aware of it but not to the full extent I suspect. Maybe I do it for sexual needs but my feelings are far beyond that, what his reasons are I think are more about the high or power he really has even though he claims to be a submissive.
The feelings I am experience now are that he is tired of me, to use his words when I questioned what happened with his other relationships was "we moved on" I have to assume that means he has moved on and is looking for others, for what reason I don't know, but I treat friends much differently, I like to share what I have and can hopefully do to add to there lives. I try not to ask for favors and I have to say my friend never really directly asked but did make suggestions as to things he would like or want to do. I did ask a favor though and even though he said he could help me with it he said or indicated it would take time and then he let it rest. I also just yesterday sent an IM for him to call if he would like to come down for the afternoon for dinner with his wife and child, not only didn't he respond to my IM but he never even called to say he couldn't which left me not knowing if he was or not. Yes I could have called him, but he did get my message and I had also mentioned it on Friday when he called me about a problem he had.
I also find it unsettling that he will make posts about things he has done and posts many of my pictures but has never given me recognition for all I have helped or done for him, maybe I'm on the wrong side of this, but it's not as if he is not looking for something that I gladly offer at anytime. Instead he is willing to travel uncharted waters with people of questionable back grounds or health history, even though he says his plays safe I do question that.
I always blame myself, people always tend to walk on me no matter what I try to do, I mentioned that to him the other day and he said without reservation or sensitivity "maybe I let them" well I guess when you offer your heart to someone you have to expect that, why would I expect someone to treat something I give with the same consideration I have for them.
I can only say in ending, I know I will not meet another person as this, it is my bad luck and even though I have memory's I still feel I have lost something I always wanted but couldn't have. I can only say, my heart is very broken, I wanted to give so much for this to work, to help me feel wanted, for me to give to someone all I could within reason. To me this was so much more than just an intimacy relationship, but maybe he felt I was getting to deep, I don't know. I know he is very capable of manipulating words, making things better or just dropping me and the whole subject, he seems to be non selective so anyone or thing is fine with him, where as I tend to be very selective so it's harder for me to develop what I'm looking for.
Cycling Club Christmas Party


A busy few months
I've had some very interesting events since December. I have a female doctor (divorced) who is very open minded, she is 45 Y/O. I had introduced Louise to her because she just had that look as if she was into alternative lifestyle, I can't explain it but it's something like "gaydare". I mentioned to her an event in Philly the Diobolique Ball and she asked to go with me so my wife Millie made her up and we had a great time. Our relationship was and is totally platonic. We have been out a couple times since but I am always Louise.
I was also hired for two parties, one a birthday party and the other I was asked to hand out Pollyanna gives for a manager of a local restaurant.
They're are so many details but to go into them here would be very boring so I'll just cut to the chase.

Acceptance or passing, Bike Shop
I don't pretend to pass for a moment but I make such a nice and non threatening presentation people just seem to accept me for who or what I am. Some people find a need to converse with me about why I CD others just want to know me for me.
I also went to a funeral where the deceased was related to a local politician, so the County Executive, Senator, and some local Mayor's and councilmen where there. Well needless to say they all know me because my brother was County Treasurer for 20 years and all have met me many times as Louise. Again is it acceptance or passing. I feel in today's society it's more about acceptance.

Rainbow GOTM (girl of the month)

This is the type of site and direction I have encouraged since I have been involved openly as a CD (TG) person.
I want to thank the people who nominated me, the group owners whom I met after the nomination and the moderators especially the one who posted this following message.

Just catching up
I find it very interesting that in my particular situation and one of the reasons I dress as Louise is due to the way people interact with me, where as Lou, it's an non interaction and the difference is demonstrative. To get to the topic, many people, usually women with confide in me some very personal information about relatives who may be gay or who at CD's or TG. This Friday night 10/12/07 a woman told me about lack of sex life with her husband, she was 62 so I assume her husband was no less that age and probably slightly older. I said women need to go on estrogen at her age and men have testosterone reduction at that age also and maybe he needs to be treated. The other suggestion I made was, if she feels sexual and he is non compliant that her age she has all the right to make her self happy anyway she feels fit. She hugged me and thanked me as if I was giving her affirmation and my blessing. What is interesting is that seems to be a common event when I'm Louise, but never as Lou.
I have to also say that this exact transformation has occurred with me son, we had a very augmentable relationship but since he met Louise he treats me much differently and we have a much more pleasant time together.
My question is, do I change or is it the way people see me that changes.

Vette Show in Ocean City, NJ
The first thing I like to do weekends is to race bike (usually 45 miles) with a group, I don't do well but I hang in. Then I came home and dressed up and decided to wear my camouflage mini dress (I wanted to blend) LOL.
The next thing I did was to go to the local restaurant my wife and I patronize every Sunday, the Waite staff love me, as Louise, and I can always see people staring or asking about me, I want to be noticed and feel if I'm not then I dressed to conservatively.
After my meal I headed to OC and found a parking spot fairly close to the boardwalk where I just pranced up to the boardwalk. I had my DSLR camera because I wanted to do some nice pictures, I walked a few blocks and noticed a young man, about 30, walk across the boardwalk in my direction who gave me a glance but I always expect that so didn't pay any attention to him. About a block or two later I hear a person say "do you mind if I talk with you" I turned and it was this young man, I said of course not and he replied "I love you and so does Jesus" well he didn't know me very well. By the time we got through walking about 20 blocks together he had told me a lot about himself and why he became "born again". He was a very nice person and if people don't know, Ocean City is a very Christian community, mostly Christian Science or other extreme groups who say they accept everyone unless they don't fit they're nitch.
I know as I walked by some of the groups of people who were sitting by the railing due to the long boring event I was receiving a lot of attention, I would hear some of the women laugh, I'm sure that 15-25 years ago they were a lot more attractive and slimmer, but possibly they were reacting to the way I looked in my mini and were reflecting on how they would have looked in it today and thought they would look comical.
I finally saw someone with another DSLR and figured I would ask if he would be kind enough to use my camera to take a couple of pictures of me. I must have really startled him because he almost stuttered and then took to shots without even considering the composition but at least I had something to prove my story. The picture does little to compliment me, my hair was wind blown and I was up there for about 2 1/2 hours and facing a very bright sun, I look much better in very dim lighting, if you get the drift.

An Interesting few weeks as Louise
The last few weeks have been very busy for me, first my wife was some what car jacked, not to go into details it was quite an experience, fortuity she wasn’t hurt but we’re still sorting out details. Next she recently left Studio Six in Atlantic City after 10 years as the Karaoke hostess up to 4 nights a week; it was getting too dangerous in the area besides other conditions. But she got a new gig once a week closer to our home and I help her set up and tear down as Louise.
A few weeks ago I was the photographer at a Civil Union, one person's parents were there and the other one’s ex-wife and children attended. It was a very short but beautiful service and the first I had attended of a same sex marriage.
I also had an appointment and I decided to go as Louise, it’s always interesting to see how people treat me as Louise when doing business, they’re either afraid I’m off balance and agree to my demands or my affect in femme mode over powers them, I don’t know but I do know I get what I want as Louise. From there I went to a friend’s beauty salon just to say hello, a young nail technician offered to do my nails for nothing but I still took care of her. As I turned while waiting for my nails to dry the lady behind me said hi and asked if I was an actress, I asked why would you ask that, she said well you’re a beautiful woman and keep yourself in great condition and your makeup is wonderful, you just don’t see people like you. I said no, I’m a cross dresser, she almost fell out of her chair, she was shocked. Turns out she was a Nurse Practitioner at the local rescue mission, I know the past and current directors because I raced bicycle with the past one and went to school with the assistant director’s brother. We had a long and very understanding conversation about alter egos because she says when she has her lab coat on she feels less veritable due to losing her left lower leg in an auto accident and the lab jacket covers it.
This past Sunday 07/20/07 my wife was contracted to be a hostess at a multi party (birthday, anniversary, graduation) there were about 200 people 20-30 were fireman with the lady’s husband, I have to say they were a very tough group to break, they’re all mucho types and are afraid to show any variability’s by accepting a cross dresser and were waiting for one brave hero to at least accept me so the rest of them could, it turned out reasonably well, I think at least 70% accepted me the rest I better be me or they might leave me to burn. Another pat of this is I was asked to come as Lou and set up and have people meet me as Lou, then I was to transform into Louise, the lady’s daughter is a makeup artist and did my face, I thought pretty good. An interesting thing was the 14 year old male cousin who was somewhat androgynous in looks and build; he had to stay to watch the transformation and loved it with a mixed manner. What I mean is he’s 14 and trying to be the boy he was born so he’s trying to be mucho like all the friends that were there but also has mixed inner feelings as to his sexual direction. I know this can open a lot of discussion so I’m mentioning it.
Anyway that’s the short version, if anyone would like more details so they might have an idea how to handle themselves in a situation they’re not comfortable with just ask, I always want to help.

Interesting happinings
I became a grand dad/ Mom to a beautiful girl, Maya Faye, and she has met Louise many times with her mom and dad.
I have also met a few new Cd's who we've helped with makeup and I took one out to a casino. For the most part compatibility is very, very limited or disappointing.
My wife, Millie, finally left her Karaoke hostess job at the only gay club in Atlantic City after 11 years, it was just too dangerous up there anymore and leaving work at 3 AM in the morning made her a moving target for anyone looking for pray.
Well they're is tons more I could post but I don't know if anyone reads my Blog.
