FRANZISKA OUT AND ABOUT

This was the first time I was wearing my new wig. That is the wig I bought online after the unpleasant experience at the wig store in downtown Frankfurt. I had also told you in earlier postings that I have my three human hair wigs washed, groomed, and styled at a local hairdresser after three to five days out and about. With this new wig, I first wanted to see and feel how it would “perform” without any styling. Here are some observations from the first three days with the new wig in its as-received form. Let’s start with an assumption. I assume that any cis girl, the same way as I do as a cis boy, has grown to understand how one’s hair behaves. It might change over years, but in principle you know when to wash it, which products to best use for its care, and how to style it. With my short gray hair, the latter point is very easy 😁.  You might even understand how its behavior varies seasonally or with climate. With a new wig – especially one you ordered online – you have no experi...

Mid-morning of November 11, 2023, I published a post under the title “ Helau and Alaaf, Carnival is coming, ” saying “In any case, Franziska is getting ready for a day out and about at that very moment this post is published.”   This is the posting covering that outing and – as expected – I did not encounter a single carnivalist in Frankfurt. That early part of carnival is only celebrated in the German carnival heartland along the river Rhein. Anyway, Franziska left home fairly early at around 11:00 a.m. already, on this day in Fall, as I had made an appointment at a brand store for wigs to try for a new wig. Outfit of the day was this light turquoise color dress with dolman sleeves. It is a lot of fun to wear and it makes my shoulders look smaller, which helps with the feminine image, I am trying to present. I combined it with a black leather jacket and black boots, which have a close-fitting elastic boot leg and a moderate, thus inconspicuous 4 cm heel. The visit to the wig store...

This is the evening of an already fun-filled and culinarily valuable day, as you will surely agree if you have read the previous posting. This featherlight black silk dress, worn with strappy black high-heeled sandals, is so much fun to wear. It was only recently that I learned about a small basement theater on the northern bank of the river Main, close to the city center, for which I booked a ticket for that evening. As there was a little time to kill, I walked around the city center and had a glass of wine. While I strutted past a Spanish restaurant, I heard the waitress say out loud “Uih uih uih Señorita!,” after which I heard some whistles from the guys that were sitting outside the restaurant. I ignored them all, but it put a smile on my face. “Señorita,” I thought, correctly tagged. Some more photos along my regular path: The  large metal rear entrance of “Kaiserdom St. Bartholomäus,“ that you have seen before and a statue of Friedrich Stolze. He was born in Frankfurt in 1816...
