Coming Soon: The Candy Store


Aunty Marlena sent me an email containing a link to a YouTube video titled CANDY STORE SIZZLE. So I watched it and it seemed to be a trailer for a new television show about a couple inheriting a brick and mortar store. The trailer was a tease and did not specify what kind of store. Since Aunty sent me the video, I assumed it was trans-related and I guessed that the store might be a crossdressing emporium. If that was the case, I was excited that this might be just the television show I was asking for – not another program about drag queens, but a program about crossdressers and femulators like you and me.

I quickly checked out The Candy Store website and Facebook page and discovered that I had guessed correctly.  

The Candy Store is an “original dramatic TV series (currently in development) about the complex lives of crossdressers and the struggles that crossdressing brings to families and communities.”

“The purpose of The Candy Store is to help the world better understand and accept the motives behind crossdressing and the different ways it affects individuals, families and communities.”

This is very much a work in progress and nothing may come of it, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

  2. So happy to see this finally happening! I won't rehash my feelings on drag queens, Stana, because you know how I feel. But this could be a wonderful opportunity - if people are willing to watch it. Having said that, I am not quite crazy about the title. We are already falsely targeted when using the ladies' room as perverts who will molest kids and the since candy is a treat that children enjoy, I have misgivings about the title of the show. The Real Me or My Two Selves or something that depicts the struggle we encounter would be of a greater service to the community.

  5. I wish their ad had a “normal” cross-dresser instead of a drag queen.
