FRANZISKA OUT AND ABOUT

After the welcome drink at the hotel lobby, Franzi headed up to her room to unpack. Unpacking my suitcase is almost as much fun as packing it at home. Whenever I travel – be it vacation with my wife, be it business, or be it Franzi out-and-about, I unpack all major items after having arrived at my hotel room and put them in the cabinet. Besides the practical aspect that the clothes can straighten out after having been crammed in a suitcase, I like to remind myself what I have and when I am planning to wear it. Each item had been carefully selected and combined with all it needs to form a complete outfit. And there is a plan what to wear when. Hey, cute or not, I am still an engineer. Portrait of the evening Tonight’s plan called for this wonderful multicolored pleated dress, which you might have seen before. I find it adorable and I love wearing it. Because it was a little chilly for this time of the year, I wore this plain brown leather jacket with it, as well as a matching scarf. You...

I had comprehensively reported about Franziska’s previous three weekend trips crossdressed. Please see my previous posting with the respective links. These trips are – so far – the highlights in my “career” as a crossdresser. There are many reasons why that is the case, some of which are covered in a short article called “Why I love travelling en femme, ” which I had published under Franzi’s CDH profile. What makes these trips particularly interesting, exciting, and nerve-wrecking, is the fact that you never know. You don’t know which wonderful new experiences you will be able to make, and you never know which – if any – of the many risks and dangers you can come up with in your head before – may realize. The facts that I leave home en femme already, that I do not take my car, but entirely rely on public transport (here’s an advantage of living in a big and well-connected city), and that my suitcase does not contain a single piece of male attire, clearly add challenge and excitement to...

With the new year, we are moving into the second half of 2024 in terms of Franziska’s days out and about. And this second half of the year started with a wonderful weekend trip en femme to the city of Düsseldorf. As with the previous three trips to Stuttgart , Munich , and Cologne , Franziska left home en femme with a suitcase full of exclusively femme outfits. The coming 9 postings will provide you with the full picture (no pun intended), all outfits, and all activities of this wonderful femme experience. Stay tuned, we’ll get started soon. “Franzi & Franzi” (#5) I keep a separate small collection of pictures, showing Franzi at specific places, be it touristic highlights in the city of Frankfurt or some of her regular hangouts. And if occasion arises, I will take the matching picture of Franzi’s male alter ego at that very place. And occasionally, I will post one of these sets. You can find them under the label “Franzi&Franzi” So here is a recent one at a small local Itali...

We are still on that same day when Franzi visited the EURO 2024 “Fan Zone” in Frankfurt. I headed back east towards the city center, with a view on the western flank of the “Iron Bridge.” The river Main meanders some 500 km east to west through the center of Germany and flows into the river Rhein, right across from the city of Mainz, a mere 40 km from Frankfurt. The Rhine flows north towards the Netherlands, where it flares out and eventually reaches the North Sea through different streams. If you get off your boat on the northern bank next to the “Iron Bridge” (say, at a river cruises Rhein-Main-Donau), you find yourself right at the historic city center. On the right side in this picture, situated on southern bank, you can see Dreikönigskirche (Church of the Three Kings). “Römer square” with Frankfurt’s town hall “Römer,” which has served this purpose since the 15 th  century already. No outing without a stop at some shopping location – just for good measure. Did I tell you about...

I have watched live sport competitions in my life in American football, Aussi football, rugby, US National basketball, US and European ice hockey, and a number of these more-or-less odd sports, you can watch at Olympic Games, of which I visited two in my life. I even watched a game of cricket once (early in my life), at least to the point when I fell asleep and was scolded by my seat neighbors. Consequently, I never watched a live game of baseball, because I was afraid that the same thing would happen. The last time I watched soccer live at a stadium, was in the early 1980s, when my home team had a chance to advance from 3 rd  to 2 nd  level in the German Bundesliga. On this wonderful day in late spring, Franzi visited the Frankfurt public viewing area of EURO 2024, just the enjoy the atmosphere and international audience. This championship takes place every four years (between the FIFA world cups), with one country or two neighboring countries as hosts, and is organized by UE...

This brief posting covers one single event only, visiting a drag show, hosted by the Frankfurt-based drag artist Jessica Walker, together with my wife. My wife had met her before at some other occasion and she might have recognized my wife but likely did not make the connection that Franzi actually is the husband of my wife. At least that is what I was thinking. Portrait of the evening The show consisted of four drag artist that took turns performing. Outfit of the evening is this wonderful very light black silk dress that you might have seen in an earlier posting, completed with a matching scarf and glasses. As the weather was very poor that evening, we took a cab to get there and another one to get home. And as the cab was already waiting, I forgot to have a picture taken with the Night Queens. What a bummer.
