I had a few reasons for not letting Da...@ Everyone<br /><br />I had a few reasons for not letting Dave speak. <br /><br />One was that I thought it might be confusing for readers to figure out which person was which. Even though I use colors to differentiate speakers, it might take a few "run-throughs" for someone to figure out which dialog when with each person (and since the daughter isn't seen, it would make it even harder.<br /><br />Another reason is that if you look in the mirror, Dave looks VERY distracted, and into his look. I'm guessing that his wife had done the makeup (playfully femming him up, causing him both excitement and humiliating pleasure) and is truly in the moment of "God I look beautiful" to really contribute anything to the conversation. I"m sure he is aware of what is being said, but is too self-absorbed to speak out for himself.<br /><br />Thirdly, I figured that a lack of voice would make him seem even more powerless. The wife was dressed like a man, and had authority over him.<br /><br />Looking back at this again, I think I could've made the caption even better. I am now picturing the last line being. "Well, 'Momma Dani' looks like it is time to zip you up nice and tightly into your new life!" Then again, that might make it less visceral.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-50839624449650882162011-06-02T23:54:01.687-04:002011-06-02T23:54:01.687-04:00I had the same problem as Caitlyn, I kept thinking...I had the same problem as Caitlyn, I kept thinking Dani would have something to say so I was just a little confused on who was saying what at times, but on a second read through I had no problem. I think it works very well, and the first draft was definitely messing something. <br /><br />I think the dialog does seem natural for a young girl that's been exposed to this sort of thing. They wouldn't think anything was wrong, it's just mommy and daddy likes to play dress up too. <br /><br />The most embarrassing person to be outed too..As a crossdresser the most embarrassing person to be outed too would probably be.. this is a little hard, I can picture all sorts of different reactions from friends and family, so I'll say my dad I think. Things are already at odds with me and him and I guess that would be the final straw. Not that I don't already feel like that line has been passed, but that would just put it out in the open once and for all i think.<br /><br />And if i was outed as a caption author? my mom probably, all the fetish stuff and everything i put into my cap might give her a heart attack. Of course, my brothers would probably be weirded out as well. <br /><br />What could make it worse? oh geez.. if it came out in an argument some how. I can see it being hurled out as an insult, even if they would regret it later, things can get nasty when tempers are high.<br /><br />@ Caitlyn<br />I was going to comment on your post about the crossdressing and I think I mentioned it in YIM, but my post on your blog was screwed up and I lost it all.. ugh! But i think that's wonderful that you might give it another go, I don't get the chance to try it as much as I like, and while true I don't pass or anything. Just being near something fem or having it touch my skin is relaxing or a big thrill to me. Depending on the mood I'm in.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278508284141041193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-77200689718214020692011-06-01T15:53:18.630-04:002011-06-01T15:53:18.630-04:00Sadly I don't have much interaction between mo...Sadly I don't have much interaction between mothers and daughters. It does, however, sound right as a parent/child interaction. I admit that at first I was confused as I expected 'Momma Dani' to have some dialog, and my mind kept pushing 'her' into the conversation. But on the second read it was much clearer. I do like the fact that 'Momma Dani' is just in the background hearing how 'she' will now be spending time playing dressup with 'her' daughter. <br /><br />Its hard to picture me being outed as I don't dress (although I have been considering having another go at it!). But if I turn my mind to being outed as a captioner with some of my more raunchy caps as evidence... then I think being outed to my brother would be the most embarrassing. My father has passed away, so the 'masculinity' of my family resides between me and my brothers. My older brother has more or less taken my fathers place as the go to guy thing person. Need something fixed? Ask him. Need a good sexist joke? Ask him. Need a good put down, or fight instructions? Ask him. So as the 'masculine' representative of the family, it would be most embarrassing to be outed to him. <br /><br />The only problem with it is that my family has a deep sharp divide between 'its family therefore its o.k.' and 'its absolutely wrong and never should be mentioned again'. I don't know which side my captioning (or if I so partake) dressing would end up on. Everything may be fine as I am family. Or it may be so wrong that I am no longer family. I don't know, and as I would never risk my status as family, will hopefully never find out. <br /><br />What could make the situation even worse? If you mean in the caption, then finding out that 'Momma Dani' is to be a den mother of sorts to her daughter and her daughters friends. Spreading around that information would make it worse. In real life? Hmm.. I don't know. <br /><br />I like the changes to the captions. That last line really sets up 'Daddy Kims' whole demeanor. I like the caption, but still feel that without Momma Dani's voice, that something is missing. I'm not sure how to satisfy that, but that feeling is still there.Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.com
