Trying to keep up. . .

. . . with life.
I normally try to dress and go out every other weekend during the fall through April (when possible). Summers are out. I can't seem to get schedules to work as I once did.

I did get the chance to get out on April 9th, to Gigi's. Again my wife found a reason to be gone. I was surprised that the make-up went well. The skirt was guaranteed to fit, and the only choice was which top. I chose a cardigan I had worn once before with the same top and skirt, and looked good at that time. I had already chosen the red with black wig I bought from Han's in Redford (tried it on in drag) from the earlier incarnation of the outfit. At 9:30 I was applying my nails, took some photos, and left home by ten PM.

There was construction on M-39, but managed to miss any back-ups. Traffic was on the Northbound side as well. Arrived @ Gigi's about 10:30pm. Paid for both levels, headed upstairs. Bought a beverage, and visited with Sherry, Leah and Candice May (OMG!), Andy came around, as well as other admirers. I went downstairs, grabbed a seat at the bar. There were some beautiful girls there, and many were sitting next to me. Nickki Stevens was the M/C, as always, GREAT. I tipped the performers, and went back up to catch up with the dance floor. Only I missed my chance, as the prevalent music was more suited to 24 year olds (and wannabe's). I revisited with those still there. I had AGAIN planned to visit my lady friend at her place of employment, and again, I had an escort. I left to go that way (with Andy, as I was driving him home) by 1:20am. Tried to get on M-39 North, but all the entrances were closed. By the time we got back to the freeway, it was after 1:45, well after the last call at my LF's bar. I opted to finish dropping Andy off and going home.

The fog had really settled in, giving the experience of driving while dressed in eerie surroundings a very spooky feeling. I took the long way home, and passed a RR viaduct tunnel I had always wanted to be photographed in. I went home, picked up my tripod, and returned. No traffic, and since no one was around, I stopped just past the No Parking sign. Assembled the camera to the tripod, and walked to the tunnel's walkway. While I've been out in public dressed (and many during the daylight hours), this made me a little nervous, as it was only a few blocks from my home. I took a few photos with and without my sweater, in numerous poses. I forgot my own teachings and took some photos beyond the built-in flash range, and many didn't come out. I took about 20 shots, with 3 more outside on a concrete block (again, out of range). With a digital camera, dust, snow, rain and Fog all leave white dots in the photos (flash pix mostly). Back at home, I took more photos and a video. I was exhausted, and I called it quits. By the time I cleaned up (except for fingernails!) and got to bed it was 4:30am. Wife didn't wake, and I fell asleep almost immediately. I didn't remove the nails until 11am.

I wanted to go out last week, but Easter preempted my needs. I am planning to try Saturday, April 30th., to Gigi's, even though there's a Hellbound honoring Bette Page that night (I don't look like a pin-up any more). I would also like to do Luna in Royal Oak some Friday night, if I can find some girls or gurls to join me.

Huggs, and see you Saturday night!

Always Something!

I was planning to attend the Noir Leather Hellbound Fetish event tonight (2/26/11), but I discovered that I couldn't fit into ANY of my fetish clothing. Add to that the snow which started falling, and I opted not to buy a ticket and go. I'm planning to get real with my diet and beer consumption, starting this week.

The last time I went out was Saturday,Feb. 12th, to Gigi's. The wife went out to do shopping, so I started the preparations early. I bought fingernails, headed home, took a shower and began the make-up process about 6PM. I was done in about an hour and a half (with the make-up, that is). It took me longer to find an outfit that I could fit into without looking like a cow! My black knit sweater dress was clean, and I opted to wear that (the dress is over 25 years old). I then had to choose footwear and wig- and decided on black hi-heeled boots and my longer red /black one from Han Beauty Supply in Redford. I was ready about 9:30pm, and needed to clean a couple of places to take photos. I took a few photos before leaving (make-up always looks best right after application), which was about 10:00pm.

I arrived @ Gigi's around 10:20pm, was given my choice of parking spots by the Attendant, paid my cover charge ($5 up & downstairs) and checked my coat. Russ was taking the fees this time (a real sweetheart). I went in, saw a lot of my friends in attendance, and bought a beverage before finding a place to sit down. I talked to Jaye Marie, Christie, Jackie, Leah, and Shari (formerly Debbie) who just lost her wife to illness. I also talked to Angela and Tarah, and took both of their photos (Angela is such a camera whore). I also talked to Chris and Andy, and met a out of towner TG named Joan. Joan was a lot of fun to talk to, my age, and a real nice person. I look forward to her next visit! Also present were Mandy, Michelle, Kiki, and Marcy. I was introduced to a CD who, it turned out, was trolling for cocksuckers. Once she tried to get into my bathroom stall, which I prevented, she left me alone (looking for others, I saw). They played my kind of music later than usual, so I danced more than usual. The bartenders (Dave and Tony) were wonderful as always!

I stayed around until about 1:45am, and had Andy take a couple of photos before I left. I drove Andy (AKA The Impaler) home (we've known each other for many years) on my way home. I skipped a food stop at 2AM, and started taking photos immediately on arrival. I finished up about 3:20am, and changed back to male drab. I was in bed by 3:45am.

I wish I could have made the Hellbound tonight, but there will be another one sometime before the summer and boating season.
