DVD Operation Prohibited

My wife and I watch a TV show or movie together on DVD a few times a week. DVD players are great, aren’t they? You just pop in the disc and can immediately skip to anywhere in the production or fast forward or fast rewind or whatever – all with the push of a button or two. So much easier to navigate than those clunky VHS contraptions were, right? Except… every time I put in a DVD and try to skip to the content, I get this annoying message!

Illegitimate Love Child of Indiana Jones and Toht?

Daddy Hinkles

I was at the local meat market with my wife today. While she was ordering up a fresh supply of animal protein, I found an interesting display for Daddy Hinkle’s Instant Meat Marinades And Seasonings. The likeness of Daddy Hinkle himself seemed very familiar. Something tells me there is more to this man than just delicious meat seasoning products.

Then it occurred to me: Daddy Hinkle might just be the illegitimate love child of Indiana Jones and Major Arnold Toht from Raiders of the Lost Arc. Check it out:

3 St. Bernards and a Crossdresser

3 Saint Bernards

While taking a walk today, I passed by a rather interesting sight. There was some movement in a parked vehicle to the right of me. I looked over at it only to find not one, not two, but three Saint Bernards staring back at me!

This isn’t exactly something one sees every day so I whipped out my phone and snapped a quick photo… just in time for them to all start barking at me. lol What – haven’t they ever seen a crossdresser with a cell phone before? Actually, I was in guy-mode at the time: just a regular looking guy. Regardless, I’m still a crossdresser, hence the title of this post.

Babe of the Week – Nikki Welsh

[Nikki’s photo has been removed at her request]
We’re happy to announce a new reoccurring segment called “Babe of the Week”. It doesn’t require much explanation – the title pretty much sums it up and our first official myCDlife “babe” is quite the knock-out!

Nikki Welsh is a gorgeous t-girl with style, personality, and legs to die for. Married with kids, she’s a straight male to female crossdresser living in the Western U.S.

On her flickr account you will find dozens of beautiful photos boasting a variety of different looks that she pulls off very nicely. Each photo includes a playful caption. It is obvious that she has a great time in front of the camera, and you’re sure to have just as much fun enjoying the fruits of her work.

It’s important to understand that Nikki is not just another pretty face in the transgendered community. There’s a lot more to this t-girl than just good looks. In her blog, Nikki Welsh’s Lost in Trans Elation, Nikki explores the complexities of being a crossdresser and her deep emotions involved.

How I Came Out to My Wife

March 22, 2009 Gabrielle 29 Comments

Hand-in-Hand

One of the questions I’m often asked by other crossdressers is how did I come out to my wife. I enjoy a very happy marriage and my wife is an active participant in my crossdressing. She helped me learn how to apply makeup, shops for female clothing with me, and is supportive of my need to be myself.

So how did I do it? Why is it that the Fabulous Mrs. H. loves her crossdressing spouse, Gabrielle, when other crossdressers run into giant road blocks with their wives/girlfriends? I wish I could tell other crossdressers that it was how I came out to her, but the fact is how I came out had little to do with her acceptance of me.

Like many crossdressers, I got married without first telling my wife about this aspect of my life. At the time, I was very ashamed of it and feared she would reject me if she knew. The seeds of her acceptance however, were sewn long before we got married. Even so, I still greatly feared rejection from the woman I love more than anything.

For Me? You Shouldn’t Have!

Flowers

I stepped out to buy some flowers for my wife while on break at work today. She’s an amazing woman and I like to bring her flowers from time to time for no other reason other than I love her and to make her smile. Walking back into the office with flowers in my hand always gets the same old, over-used, just-not-funny-anymore joke. Everyone I passed by said pretty much the same thing: “For me? Really, you shouldn’t have!” Seriously, every single co-worker I passed said that same phrase almost word for word. I get this every time I step in the office with flowers in my hand. I always do my polite, fake chuckle back, sometimes playing along. You kind of have to do that. It’s expected, even though the joke, that same old joke, is never funny.
