I have been out less frequently and unfortunately do not have the time to produce lots of photos and publish them. But don't you give up and come back time after time to see what's changed, ok? By the way, I was elected as one of the pretty T-Girls. If you click on the picture on the left, you will get to the gallery. You will find me on page 84.
Hobbies besides CDing are hacking on all types of keyboards. This includes not only computers, but also my digital piano and some other synthesizer stuff.
Since the "real" millenium (which is 2001), I live in a new and great place: California, USA. Just next to San Francisco.
You won't find the "obligatory" TG-links in this page. The purpose of this page is to tell you some of my very personal stories and experiences. While reading you should perhaps gain some courage and/or at least understand the fun crossdressers are looking for.
And if YOU yet don't like to crossdress yourself, you may be a T* admirer and probably enjoy looking at some of my pictures.
The bachelor party in the end was a great success and resulted in an interesting discussion with my girlfriend. We analyzed why I had such great fun and from that time I define myself as a crossdresser.
Since then I began to act more and more "crossdressy", which means to sometimes wear a hose at work (under my pants of course and not to be seen by my colleagues). Or on some evenings I got some lessons in applying make-up by my girlfriend. And I bought two wigs which I wear occasionally in the evenings at home.
A great break-thru in my crossdressing thing was a really grand evening I had with my girlfriend. We dressed and styled ourselves and then took the train to downtown. As two girls. Sure, some people checked that something was wrong with me, but most of them just walked by without notice. That was really a great experience.
Our aim was a gay café and I hoped to see some other crossdressers. We did not see any, but this was no problem since nobody in the café threw strange looks to my direction.
Some days later we repeated this with another crossdresser: Andrea. We learned to know each other thru a mailing list which is arranged by Julia, my neighbour in WestHollywood. This evening sure was also a break-thru for Andrea, because this was the first time for her to go into the public, neglecting carnival. You will find a picture with both of us, ready to hit the streets, in Claudi's-Hot-Pictures-Page. The picture on the right was taken some minutes before my S.O. and me went to the movies (see "Where to have fun in the public").
But these fears reduced from time to time. In contrast we noticed that wearing some pretty lingery at the right time (both of us) even enhanced the drive of our relationship. Today she is just seeing me as a person when I crossdress, and not as some fancy woman with big feet.
Of course lots of information from the internet helped her to learn that there are thousands (millions) of us out there, hiding in some places hoping not to get caught. And to know that two partners don't hide secrets but share them can be a good relational glue.
By now my significant other helps me in the departement store to find the right shoes or some other kind of ``equipment'' you need as a crossdresser.
And she also joins me to have some fun in the public. Going to the cinema for example is really great fun:
A safe place (at least in germany) seems to be a gay-friendly bar, restaurant or café. There you will usually also find some drag-queens. The last time we were in such a place, there were two guys, perfectly dressed as women. They danced together and just had lots of fun. Nobody gave a strange look but instead they were admired because of their charisma. For sure they had much experience in dressing and acting like the other gender.
Some days ago my girlfriend and me went to the movies. Some inches above on your monitor you can see my outfit on that evening. Visiting the late-nite-movie it was very convenient for me not to be seen in bright sunlight. And this really helped in not being recognized as ``male''. She bought the tickets and so there was no need for me to say anything. When we sat down, we could just relax as everyone else was concentrating on the movie. Perhaps some persons thought we were lesbians, because I put one of my arms on the leg of my girlfriend.
Anyway the plot of the movie was about some funny complications between a gay and a hetero guy, and nobody should have had a problem with it. Guess we will do something like that again.
Lately I told you that we would like to visit a restaurant "en femme". And we just did it!
It was the final night of the european soccer-championship. Germany was playing against Tschechia. My girlfriend, her sister and me headed to central Munich via train/subway. Of course every soccer-fan, and there are quite a lot of them, hung in front of the TV. When we entered the restaurant/bar, there were only a few people hanging around. It was a good idea to tell my girlfriends sister about my crossdressing, because the two real girls could talk to each other and I was not forced to say something all of the time. The silence changed some hours later, when germany won the game. We decided to see Munich celebrate the european champianship and headed to "Schwabing". And there the hell was going on. Thousangs of singing, shouting, crying, screaming, beer-drinking and other mad people had an open-air party. And we were in the middle of this tohuwabohu! Of course we three "sisters" were styled up well and some tourists even took pictures of us, surely not knowing I was male. On the right side you can see the pretty curtain of our living-room, shortly before this event. By the way, the mini-skirt is the same I wore at the bachelor-party.
Just listen to me: Usually nobody in the public cares the hell about you! So if you act like a normal person and don't feel observed all the time, things will be ok.
There was also a picture of myself to be printed, but without my face being visible. If you browsed through my pages you may ask me why. The answer is: If you found this page, you searched for transgendered topics at a high chance. But a daily newspaper, which is visible to hundred thousands of persons is something different! Anyway, the reporters were so kind to check the story with some of us before publishing. You want to know what they wrote? Well, if you have made it this far in my text, you already know everything.
ThanX for visiting. Hope you have a fast network connection...
