Over the next few weeks, we will revisit this amazing trip! My memories of this trip led me to the decision to significantly cut back my trip to Keystone this year and redirect resources to travel to Pigeon Forge TN to walk the show shown just below. I only now go to Keystone to see friends and to, of course, be en femme for the entirety of the trip. By instead attending this show, I also get to be en femme the entire time, but in a predominantly CIS situation (quite the opposite of Keystone) and see different friends, whom I have not seen since this show in 2021. And I have to admit, being in the model room, like all the other girls there, changing in and out of outfits, being completely accepted as the woman I am, is bliss. The thought of actively participating in this show has me so excited!
Now for the repeat post…
Your hostess is circumnavigating the globe.
Why go to Gulfport, you ask? Good question. After I walked Ohio Fashion Week, I was invited by Victoria Henley to walk her show on December 11, 2021. What you need to know and what I now know, models spend a lot of money doing things without getting paid. That said, this was an amazing trip!
These photos were taken at approximately 3:50AM, before I headed to the airport. My first flight pretty! I checked my bag. I went through TSA. I flew to Atlanta. I hoofed it about 2 miles to my connecting flight. I flew to Gulfport. I took a cab ride to the hotel. Zero issues. Frankly, for me, this was cool, but no big deal.
Here is the proof that I did this.
Once I got settled, it was beach time. I took a bunch of pictures on the beach, and a fellow model took some of me at poolside!
I then did a bunch of fittings for the show. Who doesn’t love trying on dresses!! Truth be told, I’ll wear anything, but much of what I wore was not my cup of tea. But a girl has to do her job!
The day wrapped up with me walking to a seafood place, with a definite dive vibe, for dinner. I wore the dress I wore on the plane, and I was clearly overdressed for the establishment. Had I worn a cutoff t-shirt and Daisy Dukes, I might have fit right in. Two bubbas were also at the bar. But you know what? Nonissue again.
When I got back, I took one more Christmas photo and called it a night!

Amazing trip and experience! The black dress in the gallery photos is fabulous ❤️
That’s the only one I won, so I REALLY appreciate that!
You look fab Kandi, and what a nice trip
Sounds like a wonderful time
Oh, just wait…..
You look great as always Glad it was such a non event as far as travelling You obviously had a great time
Honestly, the mask situation was way more of an issue for me than my attire. You’ll read tomorrow about a good 20 hours being masked, necessary, I know, but no fun!
You definitely flew pretty. Loved the outfit !!
Thanks Sis!!
That sounded and looked like an awesome time Kandi The dress is beautiful and you look great in your Bikini.
I’m hoping when I go to the trans conference in Victoria on Vancouver Island. So I ‘m taking my bikini with me for some pool or the beach time. I’ve been working on my bikini body for a while and hope I come close to the body you have girl. 🤭
