I am jazzed* about spending four days en femme in New York City!My workshop is in the Chelsea section of NYC and I plan to stay at a hotel within a short walking distance of the workshop.
Chelsea seems to be a perfect choice for a T-girl. According to Wikipedia, "Chelsea is a melting pot of cultures. Above 23rd Street, by the Hudson River, the neighborhood is post-industrial, featuring the newly-hip High Line that follows the river all through Chelsea. Eighth Avenue is a center for LGBT-oriented shopping and dining, and from 20th to 22nd street between Ninth and Tenth avenue, mid-nineteenth century brick and brownstone townhouses are still occupied, a few even restored to single family use.
"Since the mid-1990s, Chelsea has become a center of the New York art scene, as art galleries moved there from SoHo."
This is very exciting!
Between now and then, I have to decide what to bring to wear. I figure something casual for the daytime and something dressier for the evenings. Maybe two outfits each that I can mix and match to create eight outfits. Maybe I will even have to buy something new. What a dilemma!!!
I came across an interesting story about another girl's adventures in New York City. I hope my four days in NYC are as half as good as her six days there!
Did I mention how jazzed I am about the prospects of this trip?
* In all my life, I never used the word "jazzed" until now. I think I needed something to kick me out of the winter doldrums and this must be it!

ReplyDeleteYou used it twice! Wow! You really are excited about your trip to NYC. I wish you all the fun and adventure that a trip like that should produce. Isn't it wonderful to have the dilemma about having to shop for that perfect outfit to take on a wonderful trip? Good luck on the search and have a GREAT Time in the big apple!

Staci,
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a really wonderful time there. It sounds like the perfect place for a very creative person like you to visit. I'm very envious! ;-)
I also want to thank you for that great link you included in your post. I'm flying en-femme for the very first time Sunday to a business conference in Las Vegas, and I have been so paranoid about all the security. You have such spot-on timing! And as usual for business trips, I'll probably have maybe 6 hours over three days to actually relax and see the sights ;-(
It could be worse, I could have to be in drab for those 3 days!
Hugs,
Linda
Coleen --- I am VERY excited because it will be the first time I will be living as a woman for an extended period of time outside of anything that can be considered a "closet."
ReplyDeleteLinda --- Glad to help! Have a great flight an en femme.
