I'm picturing serving wench with an attitude ;)<br /><br />I think you are right about the facial features in cross-dressing, for either direction. It is just so hard to remove the "maleness" or "femininity" that most people have built in to their face. That's one of the main reasons why I try to use image where the person is facing away from the camera or has their face cropped out when I do cross-dressing caps. <br /><br />Now that being said, I think it can be done obviously, but it takes a LOT of work and a LOT of practice. That's just not something you are gonna see from a part time cross-dresser at a Ren Faire.Petrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02902355566297801798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-45518573736058903302011-02-02T09:41:17.834-05:002011-02-02T09:41:17.834-05:00@ Caitlyn

Like a telling of all the things that happen in one hotel, or the traveling businessman/woman that is a witch/warlock.<br /><br />I've done what you've done at hotels too, just sit in the lobby facing the door and try to figure out the story of every person/couple/family that comes into the hotel. What their life has been like up to that point, and where it is heading from there. I guess its fun to watch people, as long as they don't think you are stalking them.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-8524804650712086592011-02-01T16:46:02.683-05:002011-02-01T16:46:02.683-05:00Just my two cents on hotels:
For the longest time...Just my two cents on hotels:<br /><br />For the longest time I was traveling around the country for work, and spent a lot of time in hotels. It is amazing how that 'anonymous' feeling never really go away. At their most basic all hotel rooms are the same. There is some mildly pleasant but completely forgettable person to check you in to your room with a bed, a bathroom, a television, and a phone. I tried keeping all those funny little credit card style keys, but stopped when the stack got to about 6 inches high. <br /><br />The one thing that surprised me is that the 'anonymous' feeling applies to everyone in the hotel. Conversations always started easier when in the lobby, but in the halls most people would just point their eyes to the floor a few feet in front of them and not look at anyone or anything. Which makes it a GREAT people watching opportunity. <br /><br />The little mini stories that would come to mind were generally innocent enough, but occasionally I would see a woman leaving a room with a fairly large suitcase wearing clothes far to spectacular for the 'drive home' and wondered if I had just seen a VERY good cross dresser. Was she just having a fun weekend out? Did she spend all her time in the hotel room? Did she meet someone? I never fleshed out any of the stories, but it would have been easy to write a story from those little encounters.Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-33787572522033063022011-02-01T13:15:41.329-05:002011-02-01T13:15:41.329-05:00@ Vickie

I guess there was a reason for all those old "traveling salemen" jokes back in the mid 20th century.<br /><br />My parents remember when Hotel 6 was called that because a room for the night was 6 dollars. I can imagine nowadays, they'd have to call themselves, Hotel 99, and even that would be considered cheap. Maybe its the low price hotels that have all they sissy maids to keep prices cheap! I'll have to remember that next time!Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-18394420765403712012011-01-31T14:39:29.419-05:002011-01-31T14:39:29.419-05:00Tom Stoppard once said, "Hotel rooms inhabit ...Tom Stoppard once said, "Hotel rooms inhabit a separate moral universe."Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02615020202241809339noreply@blogger.com
