"Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general," according to Wikipedia.
No harvest here, so I guess I express “gratitude in general.”
Mom and Pop are deceased, but I know that they are around in a spirit-in-the-sky kind of way, so I want to thank them for raising me and not interfering with my feminine ways when I was growing up.
Maybe they could have been a little more encouraging by buying me some dresses to wear around the house (so I wouldn’t have to borrow my sister’s) and buying me some dolls of my very own (so I wouldn’t have to borrow my sister’s). It probably would have made my sister happy, too; I wouldn’t be borrowing her stuff and she would have had a sister to play with.
On the other hand, it could have been a lot worse and they could have forced me to be masculine!
So, thank you Mom and Pop for letting me be me.
(Caveat Emptor: This is an update of a post I wrote for a previous Thanksgiving.)

| I don't know much about this image except that it was posted on a crossdressing Pinterest page. My guess is that it is from the mid-20th Century and that the girl in front is a femulator, but I am not so sure about the girl in back. Is she another femulator or a female friend or relative of the femulator? Your guess may be better than mine. |
Thanks for the posting Pinterest photo. The photo and the gurls clothing style has the '50's-60's style reminiscent of the photos in the book "Casa Susanna". I vote that both are femulators.
ReplyDeleteBTW does anyone out there have the means to create a REAL LIFE B&B/ Casa Susanna? Book my room now.... V.
It's the actor Divine in the chair!
ReplyDeleteGoogle image search says it's "Divine dressed as Elizabeth Taylor for a school Halloween party with his date Diana Evans"
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a Gay resort in the Pocono's that had a Crossdress weekend once a month. Great food. Even the locals went there to eat.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you could be thankful for having had a sister from whom you could borrow things! :-)
ReplyDeleteShe is Divine, and Google is right
ReplyDeleteYou should be thankful that your parents just let you be yourself! My mother always used to fret over her precious baby "BOY"! and my father expected me to be a "MAN"! back in the mid 60's growing up my mother suspected what I was, and I got the "talk" about boys don't behave like that!
ReplyDeletejust seen a copy in UK of your favourite MAD magazine with Alfred E Neuman plus his double in dresses for Halloween
