During the year, I try to get out several times a month…for me this is huge and I cherish each time I get out. But nothing has changed my outlook and attitude on getting “out and about” as my recent trip to Las Vegas. But as I reflected back on this past week, there were several important lessons I learned about myself and traveling. I posted much more at "Out and About". http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...ad.php?t=84499
I love being Kristen. I could not wait to get dressed and be out and about in TG friendly town like Vegas. To see Las Vegas through her eyes was amazing. Gambling at the Bellagio, Hilton, Sahara and Riviera will forever change the way I view those casinos when I see them featured in movies or ads. Attending LaCage, and going to clubs and restaurants were dreams come true.
Traveling friends are important. Connecting with the girls from Vegas, (or Orlando or Chicago) make the nights (or days) so much more enjoyable. I so much enjoying hanging out with them and it makes me a better hostess when girls come to Boston!
Makeovers are good. I have been doing my own make-up for over a year now and am comfortable going out with it on, but I had two professional makeovers while I was in Vegas. Having a makeover appropriate to your clothing for the evening makes that evening a little more special and gives you a little more confidence. I remember exclaiming to Amy at the Glamour Boutique as I was primping in the mirror before heading out….”Has anyone ever looked this good ?” She sweetly replied….no, never. Sigh…
And shoes…make sure they are sexy and comfortable so you can wear them for hours. Each night I was out for 5-6 hours. One pair I had was amazing and the other ended up being a problem after an hour. I struggled with them for a while before switching over….yes, I carried a back-up pair in the car.
What are some of your lessons learned while traveling?
