FRANZISKA OUT AND ABOUT

This headline is the first ever AI generated content that I post on this blog. And I like it. Following that fantastic Altbier, it was time to get something to eat. Knowing Franziska’s culinary inclination, you did not expect her to pick anything but one of the top restaurants in that part of town. I had written earlier about my preparations for such a trip. And one of the very important planning steps is to pick a restaurant for Friday night, to avoid any poor ad hoc decisions in that respect. Especially for dinner on Friday night – shortly after arrival at my destination – I do my research well ahead of time and book a table. That is different for lunch and/or dinner on Saturday, where I might find inspiration during the day, in hope to still get in. For this Friday evening, I had picked a French seafood restaurant right on the edge of Düsseldorf’s Old Town. And it was fantastic – at least food and drinks were – while service at French restaurants (here as well), tends be incidental,...

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...
