kenan you should get these:

along with a bunch of audio cassettes to crush

It's still heels for long skirts and flats (or low heels) for short, right?

Elmo if you're ever in need of sexy lady shoes to feel man sized feet I'd head to Dorothy's on Mass Ave near Berkley: http://www.dorothysboutique.biz/

i wore a short dress with heels the other night and felt pretty fancy

is there a rule about that kind of thing?

haha, thx E! (tho i'm not sure i'm gonna do drag this year again -- i may just re-use my dionysos costume from this summer)

is there a rule about that kind of thing?

Don't tell me, this is yet another of the rules that I was raised on that everyone else stopped going by years before I was born.

fwiw Abbott is correct re: sizing difference

Off-topic, sorry, re flats v heels etc: There's no rule anymore really, it's harder than that, cos it's about proportion and your body and overall image, ie with something tight and oh say '50s sex-kitten-ish, some pointy little heels (maybe even dainty?) will probably go better than flats. Yr skin-tight American Apparel hipster leggings probably look kinda slutty with heels, better w flats.

Otoh it's true that no one get-up needs all the va-va-voom while other outfits get none, so sort of...pick one or maybe two "hot" item(s) per outfit and adjust everything else to accentuate/contrast.

OTM

I had a friend who went to SF in high school with the goal of getting some stripper heels to fit his size 11 feet. He did not know the +2 size difference and bought some size 11W when he should have bought some size 13W. They looked like these:

I had the first Elric novel, he wanted & he convinced me to trade the shoes for them. I went over to his house & we were going to play video games together but he said I had to wear the shoes while I did. This was a highly socially awkward night.

Now my sister wears the shoes when she vacuums her apartment...she is 5'11" top begin with so this is some serious Amazon vacuuming.

I should say, he was going to SF for some school thing, and his secondary goal was to attain stripper heels.

Vacuuming in heels is some serious amazon behavior at any height. Hubba hubba!

Where to go in Chicago

xp - what? how is that amazonian? i can see if you had to lift the vacuum over your head or something - or if you were converting the vacuum into a rocket - but just pushing the thing around the rooms of your standard tract home - does not require much effort at all.

No it's just that in the heels she'd like 6'6". I am sorry I did not mean she was literally doing vicious one-breasted warrioress activities.

Damn.

she had a mastectomy too?

No, I did not mean that. Once again, apologies.

i was just making a joke

I just caught myself thinking "Does Wonder Woman every do the vacuuming?"

s/every/ever

does she have an invisible vacuum cleaner for her invisible jet?

does she have invisible buttsex on her invisible jet? (this is ILTMI)

The gape would not be invisible, it's not as discrete as you'd think.

the jet in the Lynda Carter tv series confused me as a kid because you could still see her -

What really confused me was how this character that could bend metal bars and lift trucks somehow managed to get tied up every episode.

true confession: that tv show had a major influence on my sex life

I think I'm looking at an intersection of Kate Bush, Lynda Carter, Erin Gray, and Miss Piggy...

(from a thread about first celeb crushes)

i really doubt kenan would care that we're derailing his thread

Maybe he's off out somewhere dressed as Wonder Woman having buttsechs?

In which case when he gets back here he'll be all like "how did they know!?!?!?!"

Kate Bush, Lynda Carter, Erin Gray, and Miss Piggy...

These are the four basic types of cross-dressers.

Yes.

You're far from alone. http://www.nerve.com/content/wonderlust

it wasn't about that part

Hey, pick your pleasure.

I think I really dug the outfit.

Haha I looked up "Altawoman" because of that article and it has some great selective pull quoting.

"....the most balls-out
transformations of all time!"
"... the transformation scenes are
detailed and hot!
Neal Pollack of Nerve.Com
It cuts off the start of the sentence: "The site is stupid almost beyond imagination..."

Uh that Altawoman link is NSFW for what it's worth.

Fifteen years ago, the fetish communities were the Internet's best source of original fiction, and the transformation people were at the top of the list. I don't know how much of it has survived, though.

I have realized lately that I have a real thing for cross dressers. I want to see Kenan dressed up. PICS, PLEASE.

i made the earrings (it's something i do), and did his fabulous makeup, which we didn't get good pics of, sadly.

I wish I had more occasions to cross dress, I honestly do. It's not that it has to be Halloween, or that I need a particular excuse, I just hate the feeling of being all dressed up and having nowhere to go.

You can do it whenever! It doesn't have to be Halloween. You just need to find a CD-friendly event, like maybe a gay club or a goth dance night or something. I see CD's all the time when I am out.

I know you say you don't want to do Drag - but watch a couple of episodes of RuPaul's drag race. Pantyhose! Colour blocking on the cheeks! Cutting up sofa cushions to create perfect derrieres! I have picked up a few makeup tips from watching the queens. Of course I wear it a little more subtly, so that at 6'1" I am not mistaken for a biological man..

You should use topcoat too

Try Seche Vite top coat next time. And clean your nails with nail polish remover first to make sure there's no oil on your nails. That will help the color stick longer.

Haha xp

seche vite = gamechanger

My new fave topcoat actually is Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails fwiw.

That's the one I use. It's amazing! Couldn't find SV easily here.

SV goes on like the nectar of the gods, but it shrinks back from the edges on the 2nd or 3rd day, depending on the exact formulas of the polishes underneath. The Hard as Nails is almost as glossy as SV but seems less inclined to pull away.

I bought the most adorable little dress for $5 that I'm going to wear out tonight! I'm gonna have to wear the girl jeans I already have (or maybe my skintight black men's skinny jeans?) under it cause it's too short/sheer to wear without something under and I don't have anything else suitable. Also gonna paint my nails again & wear lip gloss. It'll be so cute.

kate78 ended up hooking me up with some accessories

That's a good look!

...and a screwdriver. xpost

I love the way lanky men can sit with their legs crossed straight at the knee. I personally cannot. Just one of those things....

I can't comfortably do that wearing jeans, wasn't uncomfortable with leggings though.

I love the way lanky men can sit with their legs crossed straight at the knee.

I don't think I understand this- how else would you sit with your legs crossed?

omg rev so cute. love it!

xp My top leg points sideways and often slides off the bottom leg because I'm just built that way I guess.

my legs are too thick to really drape the way laurel is describing
