Personal Update

Well, I have been so busy lately that I really haven't had much time to write anything. So, I thought I would just throw out a quick update on what has been going on.

First, an alluring Affair, the all inclusive crossdress and transgender vacation/conference package that I am hosting, has been rolling along beautifully. There has been a lot of interest from a number of sisters who are looking for a place to go out en femme for the first time. It is not surprising since the enclosed nature of the resort creates a safe environment for any person going out for their first time dressed. You pick and choose how much, or little, you want to interact with the general public. Everything has been set up in a way to maximize the first time cross-dressers comfort so they can relax and enjoy the event without worrying about being hassled or attacked. And the staff of Deerhurst are thrilled that we will be there and are looking forward to treating us as the princesses we are.

Speaking of an alluring Affair, though, I did have to make a correction. I have been telling everyone that their registration fees covered accommodations in the Pavilion rooms. Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong. I was informed last night that the rooms we will be getting are called Junior suites. These rooms have a separate living area (with fireplace), kitchenette and are in a separate building called a sports villa. The villa features a common area where all the girls can gather to just hang out or party to their hearts content. They are also adjacent to the main pavilion so it is a short walk to all the great events offered by an alluring Affair. Don't forget, the low registration price includes free admission to all the workshops, the Vegas style show (which launched Shania Twain), the dance, 5 meals and two nights accommodations.

What else? Well, I have been working on creating an online, subscription based magazine for cross-dressers and transgendered people. The concept will feature news, entertainment, tips, travel and reviews from around the world. It will be in a multi-media format including video reports. I am hoping to also have a section for reports from transgender youth and female to male trans people. Stay tuned for more on that as time goes by.

The other big thing is I have become involved in the Sarnia-Lambton Pride organization. Until last week I thought the concept was dead but then discovered a small Facebook group for it. After looking at their website I contacted the admin with some suggestions and now it would seem I am part of the pride committee. The biggest challenge at the moment is to get the word out that their is a Pride so we can make it as successful as possible. The bigger it is this year the better we can do for next year. The drawback is I was very much looking forward to going to the Windsor, Ontario Pride this year but they are on back to back weekends so it would be a little much. But, if I can get my magazine concept up and running then I would have to attend both next year to be able to report on them. And, of course, Toronto Pride and Chatham-Kent Pride and Tri-Pride and Hamilton Pride and Detroit Pride, etc, etc. Now you can see why I want to make the magazine successful, lol.

So that is my Nicolle minute. Stay tuned for more updates as time allows.

Hugs to all,

Nicolle
