Southern Comfort
September is just around the corner and with September comes Southern
Comfort. I happened to run across these photos and want
to say if you have never been to a transgender convention, this
is one to consider going to. With very little effort you
can keep very busy every day you are there and it is almost impossible
to go away without making several friends.
If you ever thought you
were alone, you can forget those thoughts here. Talk with
enough people and you are bound to find someone in a very similar
situation to yours: married, single, children, no children, happily,
unhappy, gay, homophobic, crossdresser, pre op or post op transsexual,
bi, bondage, fetish, etc. Ages of these tgals range from
the 20's to the 80's.
There are several workshops
throughout the day. One I found particularly interesting
was the dance workshop. Learn feminine moves when dancing.
Also, consider going to the workshops on voice and dressing
appropriately. The convention has some evening events at
the hotel. One is a talent show that is a lot of fun or
you might want to try out for it. There are also a few so-called
field trips. Sign up for all the trips away from the hotel
that you can and experience being out. If you are from elsewhere,
it's doubtful you would ever run into someone you know and if
you did would they even recognize you.
If you don't mind spending
a little extra money, try a makeover. Be sure to sign up
early or you will be doing your own and miss a great experience.
Also, get a professional (or semi-professional) photo of yourself
as a souvenir. I still have mine from my very first convention.
Both are a small price to pay compared to the cost of the convention
and the hotel.
Last but not least, after
experiencing several days and nights as a t-girl, you might want
to try flying home em fem.
