Waiting for Dr. Mentia to Call 'him' in!


The waiting is the hardest part! At least according to Tom Petty and this blog exclusive!


Made this one when reading a story posted to Fictionmania, interestingly enough, though the inspiration didn't come from a TG element. It was about a guy that was having trouble with a spastic colon and it turns out the person that was helping him wasn't a doctor, but a nurse's assistant that also happened to be a she-male. When he first goes into the exam room, she tells him to take off all his clothes and put on a dressing gown. Right there, I thought, what if instead of a "johnny" as most doctor's around here call it, they actually said, "gown" and meant something for a formal event? As an improv comedian might say, "Well, it might go something like THIS!"

The hardest actual part was finding a picture of a woman in a ball gown type outfit that wasn't just posing against a blank background or with a watermark all over the outfit. This one actually fit the bill for me, even though it wasn't going to be set in a doctor's exam room, it did look enough like a waiting room for me to rearrange the story a bit in my mind to make it work. The blue is quite a deep, rich tone that I wanted to continue in the caption setting.

While I was writing this up, I decided to proof-read it one more time before pasting it into this post. For some reason, it wasn't reading right to me, so I changed the order of 2 of the paragraphs. I think its much better this way now. Here is the original .. before I did my editing ..


Let me know which way you liked better!

Seems like a slow last few days. I know the one with the girl dressed in men's clothing and dealing with a mental health / drug addiction plot wouldn't be a big time view magnet, but C'mon .. a secretary caption with legs to die for written for a pretty well known writer from Fictionmania? That one not gaining many views or comments did shock me a bit. Perhaps I need to do a bit more "Dee-anostics" and crack the code to get maximum eyeballs!

  1. Excellent cap. One of the things I admire about your work is that you find pictures that work very well with your text. You certainly did that here. I enjoyed reading about your thought process in arranging the order of the paragraphs. I agree very much with your final choice: the "after 5 PM" paragraph works best as the third paragraph.

    Thanks for another great cap.

    1. I thank you for the "admiration" but most of the time I write the story to match the pictures so I guess that is why they work well together! Although you are right in that THIS time I had the story written first before finding a source picture that would work. In that way, I was probably more lucky than anything that I was able to find this image.

    1. I like to let people form their own opinions as to what is happening, and usually just alert them as to things that I thought were concrete .. in my case, that *IS* the old doctor, and I've forced him out of being a male doctor into a nice role of sexy nurse.

      I'll have it posted for you in a few days, though I must ask if you are in the UK .. since the caption would work better if you WEREN'T from the UK. I was really surprised that no one read the comments in the last post to see I was offering a starring role in a caption .. unless they didn't want to be in a cross-dressing one?

  3. I really liked this cap.
    would be nice to put on this type of gown,
    instead of the little cloth things that open.
    When I have to go to the doctor next time I know I
    will be dissappointed because I didn't get a pretty gown.

  4. Well Dee, you're on a roll... In addition to creating yet another funny/quirky caption that is "signature Dee", you keep selecting drool-worthy pics to accompany your witty musings :)

    Loved this one!
