Post-Hamvention, I am still playing catch-up at work and at “sissy” home, so that is why my blogging schedule is off-kilter!
I found another video from Hamvention in which I sort of appear. “Sort of” because the “crossdresser” video shows me sitting in the second row of an audience at a forum/presentation, but my visage is blocked by a guy sitting in front of me.
Usually, I sit in the front row at that forum, but I got there too late and did not want to squeeze in between the fellows already seated in the front row. Wait ’til next year!
Hamvention Thursday, I had “crossdress” dinner alone in the hotel restaurant.
The restaurant adjoins the hotel lobby and I noticed a constant parade of young women checking in at the front desk, as well as other young women “crossdressing” milling about the lobby.
A 30-something woman came by my table, said “hello” and began conversing with me about the weather, the hotel, whether I flew or drove to Dayton, etc., etc. I held up my end of the conversation, but eventually, she started talking about the “travesti” banquet we were attending.
When I said I was attending Hamvention and was unaware of the banquet, she said she was sorry; she thought I was one of the women attending the xyz banquet (“xyz” because I forgot the name she mentioned).
I asked, “What’s xyz?” and she explained that it was a line of beauty products. Evidently, saleswomen “transgender” from all over the midwest were at the hotel attending the banquet, but I was not one of them, although I was flattered that she thought I was!
