Retrospection – Pink ice cream and pink lingerie

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.

“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 road in Shanghai (which is lined with cheap shops for hair and beauty products) during a business trip, and some of them, I ordered online. Except for one simple short, dark, synthetic wig, which I don’t wear anymore, but take along on my weekend trips as an emergency fallback), I currently have the three Brand human hair wigs you can see in the picture below. Come to think of it, you might have already seen the emergency wig (last worn in 2016, I think), in my posting on CDH called “What three years of experience - and a new wig - can do for you.”

I typically wear my wigs three to five times, i.e. days out, before I drop them off at Franzi’s trusted hairdresser and salon owner, to have them washed, groomed, and styled. When I go to pick up my wig a couple of weeks later – in drab and typically on my bike, as Frankfurt is just a village! – I commonly find it on prominent display in the public space of the hair salon and I always wonder, which stories the salon owner may have told other customers about it.

Incidentally, all three of them are currently freshly washed, groomed, and styled at home, which made me decide to feature them here and today.

The wig on the left is 8 years old. I recently had it completely overhauled at a specialized shop and it now looks great again. It is the same one you find in my most recent postings. The one in the middle is my newest purchase and you will be seeing it come up in postings from the turn of the year soon “as purchased,” before its initial styling. It was already featured in my posting on CDH called “Roy Lichtenstein meets Franziska.”
