A perfect song, with a beat so familiar, it just sucks you in. This Who classic was off the 1982 album, It’s Hard. Yeah, all of “this” is hard!
Drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they’re hiding
The news slows
People forget
Their shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they’re hiding
It was that time again, October 2, 2026, MIX at The Cleveland Museum of Art. The event itself was fairly uneventful as most of my usual friends were not there (BFF, went out and forgot to think of me…). But I still enjoyed “being”, being out, being seen, being valued, being me. More so than usual, people are really starting to notice I am there every time, all the time! That said, looks like I may miss a rare MIX next month. I am sure I will hear about it for many subsequent months.
The noteworthy events of the day happened prior to MIX. I stopped at the mall with a PINK coupon burning a hole in my pocket. I will not deny, I LOVE lingerie! Love it! As I have evolved, I now fit a bra, instead of wearing one. I know what style, size, how it feels like it should on any other woman. I picked up two (more) cute bras and some fragrance, basically for about 45% of original price.
Oh yeah, nothing better than walking into the mall and immediately seeing someone you know who greets you with a hug and a compliment.
Then I hit Bar Italia, which I now do on my way to the museum. And as I thought, I got into an extended sports conversation with a young African American gentleman about the upcoming Guardians playoff series and the recent Browns victory. Just two people intelligently discussing something with no one giving a damn about my dress. Pretty cool stuff.
The last item of note. I had such high hopes for this dress. While I did draw quite a few compliments on it, the buttons were poorly attached and once I got home, the dress wasn’t really salvageable, off to Goodwill it went!

Dress to kill, dress to kill
Loving Summer Dresses!
Think I was happy?
July 8, 2022, the second consecutive day in a super cute, way-to-young-for-me dress and LOVING IT!
Let’s take a behind the scenes look at what we go through to look good. Unlike a cis or transgendered woman who has the same set of breasts every day, mine vary. And I vary them dependent upon my outfit. My biggest presentation is never out of proportion for my body size. And I always try and match my lingerie to the outfit, each item should match or work well in a set (not that anyone sees this but me). The bra I initially wanted to wear just didn’t work with the dress. The dress sleeves became too tight and binding. So I switched to a strapless bra and the dress was a dream!
I spent some time considering my necklace when assembling the outfit. Most of my initial choices were simply dainty necklaces, then inspiration struck! This one drew a few compliments and tied well into the dress pattern. I wish I knew why the details mean so much to me, but they do and they are generally noticed.
I have taken classes with an acting school in town that also is a local casting agency. They cast me in the two paid productions I have been in. They had a wonderful cook out for students and staff. I really enjoyed my time there. I saw quite a few folks. One was one of the instructors who is also an actor and he recently did a short film about a crossdresser spending a day in a hotel room. A few months back we talked at length to help him prepare for the film. I also saw some improv friends and a few actresses I have been in movies with. It was just a nice time.
I hit a local bar/restaurant to have one for the road. I sat unnoticed. While I crave human interaction, being unnoticed means I am just blending in. A lovely day all in all!
