This is a marvelous dress. It seems A-line dresses are my favorite, because they almost always look good on me. I feel I must apologize in advance as there may be a fair number of photographs of me in this dress. I'll try not to make them repetitive in pose and composition. I became frustrated by several things on the first day of Keystone, including the virtual impossibility for me to take good photos in my hotel room, cruddy results from iPhone snapshots in apparently low-light areas, and various makeup snafus. In terms of the latter, I had and continue to have problems with false lashes. I cannot seem to get these exactly the way I want them. Credit to Cristy Garcia for this nice photo. Dress: Rabbit. Shoes: Katy Perry. Hosiery: Cecilia de Rafael

I'm a guy. I like women. I like the company of women, I'm married to a woman, and I like to dress up like a woman now and then because it's fun. For me, crossdressing is an art form and an excuse to meet like-minded folks, not the expression of gender dysphoria. I should note that my photos are not doctored up with apps or significantly modified using Photoshop, though I do adjust color, contrast, and that sort of thing. It is important to me that my photos are genuine, with wrinkles, pores, and all. If they aren't genuine, I'm fooling myself and others. I take this art form pretty seriously, so if you don't have much of a profile, no photos, or your photos are obviously fake or heavily photoshopped, I will probably not respond to a friend request. I'm not here to indulge sexual fantasies, talk about fetishes, or discuss what sort of intimates I wear to work (I don't). My hope is to find people who are interested in discussing "The Craft," or the art of crossdressing. I'm also keen to ponder the nature of sexuality and gender, fashion, and makeup techniques. However, I always try to respond to correspondence - we should all help each other out. I enjoy engaging with anyone, frankly!
