5 inches closer to heaven

did some practicing this weekend. learned a few things like, the top of my fridge is filthy. also that asking aloud "am i in a blackout?" can actually help prevent blacking out by acting as a sort of marker-in-time for future recall.

The new kicks are a riot to wear but are about as hard to stand up in as water skiis. Not easy fucking spirits! i had my semi-pro water skier friend give them a spin around the block and he nailed it. he also looked like a football player in heels -- easy on the protien shakes bro!



















my do's getting pretty out-of-control-long, to the point that i am considering a diffuser attachment for the hair dryer as an alternative to a wig, for maybe a more masculine look which can still be totally classic:



















but the heels are serious damn business. i have to admit the feeling is pretty amazing. the closest comparison is the first time i drove a motorcycle. the sort of experience that can cracked my mind way open and made me understand instantly. glad to know that feeling is not totally uncommon

trans

Started making an effort to watch more drag shows after a friend told me he thought i was more of a tranny than a gay. since its almost october anyway i figure this is as good a time as i'm gonna get to start pulling together a drag character. the "transformation" process is a little daunting, especially the dark and strange world of makeup. plus i really do not care for that term. transformation.

thankfully i don't have to rely exclusively the web for how to's. there are stripper supply stores in the neighborhood who carry man sized platform shoes, wigs and the million other things a guy needs to rock a tragic and insulting impersonation of the opposite gender.

Also helpful is the encyclopedia article outlining the basics, including the canon of drag films (one of which was dissed on wednesday by a particularly sassy bitch). i'm trying to cover the basics as much as possible before things start getting publicly embarrassing.

will keep you posted
