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!

Enjoy Keystone Alexandra! I hope you all will have a great time.
As for your photo, lovely, as usual!!
Thank you, Gabriella! And thanks for the work you do here on CDH ☺️
This will be my last comment on your spectacular Posts. If you don’t reply then why should I comment?
Sorry, Jackie. I’m an infrequent visitor to the site. I do appreciate the compliments, but don’t always have a chance to reply.
JB – unfortunately, the girl posting a photo is not notified when a comment is made. So I think a lot of comments go unread, unless you make a habit of regularly checking for them. Perhaps you can lobby the CDH administrators about adding this function?
Blue eyes, auburn hair, red lips. What a color palette. May I also say I completely agree with your take on crossdressing. I do it because it’s fun, pure and simple. Just like taking these photos us fun. And yes, I see it as somewhat of an art form.
Thanks, Angela. I sometimes feel I post at risk because for some crossdressing is a more serious thing!
You look lovely Alexandra – I think this photo wonderfully expresses the power found in the places in our lives that are between “what has been” and “what will be”. Here is a photo of you in September that you share as you anticipate what is to come in March at Keystone. Your joy captured in September which contains the seeds of a future joy that you anticipate in connecting with old and new friends. Plus – you just look so cute and well put-together…as usual!
Thank you, Melodie! I suppose that’s right. The euphoria or contentment we feel each time we dress involves related thoughts, often of good times in the past and what fun might be had in the future
Alexandra, you are such a natural beauty – minimal makeup and you look wonderful. Love your hair like that, girlfriend..
Thank you, Mona! I just wish I could find an ointment that can reduce the size of my nose 😀
Ha, I suffer from the same “proboscis problem” and partially solve it with strategic contouring. Emphasis on partially, haha. But I don’t think you should be self-conscious about your nose…it’s part of you and you are quite a natural beauty. We tend to be our own worst critics…makes you empathize with what real women go through a lot of the time, I think.
That is very true. Our lot understand at least some of what women go through when it comes to appearances. Even the whole shoe thing makes sense to me now!
A lovely portrait Alexandra – a closeup from you is a makeup tutorial in itself! Hope to see you at Keystone!
Thank you, Kris! I will be looking for you!
Hi Alex, I’m looking at this photo of you. I don’t know why you ever change back; you always look so comfortable and poised as a woman.
Thank you, Roberta! That is a very kind comment. I will confess it feels liberating to return to my old, comfortable self, but enjoy the moment deeply!
Hi Alex you look absolutely stunning, I wish i could join you at the Keystone conference, maybe next year X
Hugs Rozalyn X
Thanks, Rozalyn – I hope you make it one day. It’s a marvelous experience!
You look lovely as always Alex. I look forward to meeting you at Keystone.
Hi Fiona – thank you. I’ll be looking for you 🙂
Stopping by to say hello and wish you the best. Very lovely lady! hugs
