A Quiet Night in Amsterdam


I apologise for the quality of the photo, but it's not often I have a six foot Indonesian ladyboy hanging on to my er...every word.
She is Suki and is one of the barmaids and entertainer's at Le Lebelle's in Amsterdam, a tranny bar where Sam, Suzie, Yvonne and I celebrated my birthday last month.
there I danced, drank and chatted with some very colourful characters, including an ex mega drug dealer who was a friend of Mr Nice, a world famous drug dealer turned public speaker.


Thank you ladies, for such a fabulous birthday and holiday. Suzie, your party piece was just jaw dropping!


I celebrated for at least a week and visited a great bar called Mellow Mela where we danced to a rock/blues/jazz jamming session to the early hours.

I haven't posted much this year but I've been out and about a lot. I go just about anywhere as a girl as well as a boy.


I've travelled abroad by plane as a girl and attended a football match as a girl for the first time this week.

I've incorporated a lot of my femme side into my male side and life is so much more fun and fulfilling and honest than keeping the two separated. I have been lucky in that I have not had any really bad experiences with aggressive types but I am aware that there is always a danger of that kicking off. My tranny friends agree that if one shows confidence when in drag, it is more easily accepted by Joe Public.

I have noticed that quite a few trannies dress really well as a girl but then make no effort at all as a guy. I have heard the comment that " I couldn't care less what I look like as a guy" and I find that hard to understand. I think we should all embrace both sides of our personalities.
OK lecture over.

I love Amsterdam for its people, bars, cafes, bicycles and laid back attitude. I feel very tempted to say that I am going Dutch and I love Edam and eve and even that I Goda quite often but don't want to clog this post with puns or double Dutch entendres.
