FRANZISKA OUT AND ABOUT

This was one of those short 4-h weeknight outings and this posting will also be a short one, as time is sparse right now. We will be travelling to Italy for the upcoming Easter holidays, and I just want to make sure one more posting goes out before.  It was late spring, June 2018, and what do you do as a girl out in late spring? You wear some pink lingerie, pink sandals, a colorful dress, and you get yourself some pink ice cream! There are no more photos from this evening, so I guess not much happened after this highlight, other than dinner somewhere and - possibly - a glass of wine towards the end of the evening. Portrait of the evening Franziska enjoying an ice cream   “The way Franzi does it!” (#6)   To fatten up this posting, let me tell you a little bit about my wigs. In my crossdressing life, I have gone through a number of wigs: short, long, blond, dark, etc. Some of them, I bought at costume shops in the US and in Germany, some of them, I bought on Guangdong ...

We are looking at the year 2018 and there at the month of June. This was the last evening out at my temporary location, as described earlier. This being a weeknight, I left work early to be at home by 5:30 p.m. and to be out the door en femme by 7:00 p.m. One hour and 15 minutes is the fastest I can do this transformation and that only if everything is prepared that can be prepared the night before: wig styled, outfit and shoes selected and prepared, handbag packed, makeup at hand, etc. Another requirement is to avoid (potentially) time-consuming transformation steps, such as polishing my fingernails or application of fake eyelashes, etc.   If you compare the pictures with the more recent evenings out and about, you will notice that some things have not changed over time: shopping, dinner, wine bar. I loved that wine bar in the last picture - a great atmosphere and a great Shiraz - and you will see this place come up a couple of more times, as we go back in time. Unfortunately, it ...

In my posting “Practice makes the mistress” from 22.11.2023, I told you that I had received a new professional challenge in 2015, which lead to the fact that I spent the week elsewhere, while being at home on the weekends only. This situation allowed for regular shorter outings in the evening during the week, some of them as short as an hour or two.   In the upcoming postings, I will provide some picture from this period, in which my skills and my self-confidence grew significantly. We’ll work our way backwards in time, starting in June 2018. “Franzi & Franzi” (#4) We’ll start with a “Franzi & Franzi” from this period. The two pictures were taken within a few weeks. As you can see, I had ordered the same appetizer – a grilled slice of cucumber, goat cheese, and tomatoes, even though it looks a little different – in both visits to this very nice restaurant in walking distance to my apartment.

The musical “Moulin Rouge!” premiered in Boston in 2019 and performances at Cologne’s Musical Dome started in November 2022. It was  the  highlight of the trip. As you know, Franzi loves opera, ballet, theater, musical, but this one was special because of its hot nightclub atmosphere, the juicy stage outfits, and slightly sizzling sexy innuendo. And of course, there was the obligatory crossdresser in this night club show, being one the dancing staff of the club, and there were some funny jokes around him, or by him.   The musical dome was a mere 10-minute walk from my hotel and the first two pictures were taken on the way there.   Portrait of the evening. This was the first time that I wore this wonderful ensemble of dress and blazer. I love the color and the texture and guess what, I found a silky scarf in my large selection to go with it. As mentioned before, I had splurged on a ticket for a great seat right behind the orchestra pit and I also booked a seat in the ...
