This Saturday in mid-April 2025 was special for several reasons. Having worn three different wigs within one day was only one of them.
I had started to plan this day out-and-about about two months earlier by calling Franzi’s hairdresser – the one who has been washing and styling my wigs for several years – for an appointment. This time it was not to drop off or pick up a wig, but to have an in-salon appointment for a styling. He and I had talked about that before and this time I made an appointment for early afternoon today. It was time for Franzi to experience that feminine pleasure of sitting in a salon and have somebody work on your hair to make you look the most attractive.
It was a warm and sunny day and I decided on one of my short and colorful summer dresses, with 5 denier nylons, white sandals, and a white blazer – just in case.
Portraits of the day. Granted, this wig urgently needed to be taken care of.
As many times before, I took the bus from our local bus stop to Südbahnhof (Frankfurt south station).
From “Südbahnhof,” I walked to one of my favorite local restaurants, a typical “Apfelweinwirtschaft” (apple wine pub). You can find this type of pub-restaurants throughout all of Frankfurt’s older boroughs. Many of them press their own "Apple Wine" and all of them serve "Green Sauce" as an accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Please check my posting “The wilds of culinary Frankfurt” for all the details on "Apple Wine" and "Green Sauce."
Sitting outside in the courtyard of “Kanonesteppel.”
Enjoying "Green Sauce" with hard boiled eggs and taters and an "Apple Wine - sauergespritzt.”
And for desert: "Heisse Apfelküchle mit Vanille-Eis und hausgemachter Aprikosensoße" (Hot apple fritters with vanilla ice cream and homemade apricot sauce).
Funny side story: at one of the neighboring tables sat a couple, I would say in their mid-60’s. When she went to the bathroom, he leant over towards me and said “If I were alone, I would have very much enjoyed sitting with you.” I guess that is a compliment.
Das hättest Du aber seiner Frau nicht stecken dürfen :-). Aber als Kompliment geht das durchaus. Wäre ich noch nicht auf die Idee gekommen bei einem Friseur meine Perücken stylen zu lassen....aber durchaus mal überlegenswert. Hast Du die Frisuren bei ihm gekauft? Die Eier auf grüner Sauce schauen auch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig aus....aber andere Städte andere Kulinarik. Ganz ungewohnt mal ein Bild ohne Brille - aber auch fesch, wie überhaupt der gezeigte Auftritt. Ich werde in diesem Monat wohl selten kommentieren, wir fliegen nach Mauritius bis Ende September..und Handytippen ist so gar nicht meins....Hochzeitsreise zum 10. Jahrestag wiederholen....und Violetta fährt (natürlich) nicht mit.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße und eine gute Zeit

Liebe Violetta, vielen Dank für Deinen lieben und ausführlichen Kommentar. Das dachte ich auch, "wenn die wüßte". Meine Perücken habe ich nach und nach alle bei einem der gängigen Online-Händler für hochwertige Echhaarperücken gekauft. Manchmal wasche und style ich sie selber, aber meistens bringe ich sie zum Frisör und hole sie wieder ab. Dieses Mal jedoch hat er sie vor Ort an mir gestylt. Bericht folgt kommende Woche. Liebe Grüße und einen schönen Urlaub. Franzi
DeleteThe food looks very tasty and intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed the meal and having your hair done.
Dear Lynn, Thanks for visiting my blog and for your comment. The report on my visit to the hairdresser will follow next week. Franzi
Deletelol definitely sounds like a compliment Franzi. I like your outfit, the dress looks lovely. That meal looked very nice. Glad you got to experience the feminine pleasure of sitting in a salon, feels great doesn’t it.
ReplyDeleteDear Lotte, Thank you very much. It was a great experience. Report will follow, including a full length photo of the dress. Franzi
DeleteYou do have fun, dear Franzi. Looking lovely, eating out and even compliments from a creepy old man! A perfect day for a TGirl. Sue xx
ReplyDeleteDear Sue, Thanks for your comment. Be careful, though, I am not much younger than the "creepy old man" :-). Love, Franzi
ReplyDeleteAh, but Franzi, you know that wearing makeup takes ten years off a TGirl's looks, and another ten years are lost by looking cute and classy with great hair, and another ten years because we are happy to be our feminine selves, and another ten years because we act young. I'm sure he thought you were in your 20s and innocent and naive ;-)
DeleteI know these TGirl "admirers" ...and they are all creepy old men. Ha ha.

Dear Sue, Clear. I know exactly what you mean. And correct, I am innocent :-) Franzi.
