Black Rose 2001

One of the major highlights of this trip was being able to spend the whole time with my special girl friend and sister,  Jackie.  
From the time she picked me up at the airport on Wednesday, October 31st, through my reluctant departure on Monday,
November 5th, Jackie and I were almost inseparable.  We finally had a little more time during one of these adventures to have
several great conversations, share secrets, and just be "girl friends".

The first night there I met Jackie's new boy friend Allen, a real nice guy who is very accepting of us "special" ladies.  
After a quick change to our femme clothes, Jackie and I, along with Allen, headed off to pickup Jackie's Domme, MS. Cleo.  The
four of us then went to a Halloween dinner party at the home of a friend of Ms. Cleo.  Her friend, Ed, became a (very) fast friend,
making me feel extremely welcome in his home.  The guests there were a mix of straight, bi, and gay folks, some involved in the
BDSM scene, some not.  It was an outstanding evening of fine food (cooked by Ed), great conversation and warm feelings.  It
was a great beginning to very special trip for me.

The following morning, Ms. Cleo, Jackie, and I made our annual trek to the nail salon for the full treatment.  The folks there are
now used to Jackie and I, and warmly treated us to very relaxing pedicures and fingernail treatments.  Following the salon, we
had lunch, Jackie and I headed off to check into the host hotel for BR 2001.  Anyone who complains about GG's (genetic girls)
packing too much has never seen two cross-dressers move into a hotel room for a weekend.  That was a lot of work!  Once we
had everything moved into the hotel room and unpacked, we went off to a light dinner.

Following dinner, we met with Ms. Cleo at Mister Bill's "playhouse" for some play and visiting.  Ms Cleo has been a
dear friend of mine for several years, and is one of my biggest supporters and mentors.  To my surprise, after we arrived and
chatted for a bit, Ms. Cleo advised us that she wished a private session with me and gave me instructions on how to prepare for
that special time together.  Jackie and Mister Bill were left to their own devices downstairs while Ms. Cleo took me into that
special place called subspace.  This was my first time one-on-one with her and it was marvelous and so sweet.  After the play,
Mister Bill gave me a tour of the nice home he has converted into three levels of play space.  The house is also used as a
meeting spot for The Resource Pool, a BDSM educational group headed up my MS. Cleo.  I can only dream of being able to
create the special space Mister Bill has created on all three levels of the house.

Friday morning, Jackie and I began preparing for the upcoming weekend by sleeping in late and relaxing through the morning.  
Around noon we transformed ourselves into two "hot" ladies and began visiting new and old friends in the lobby of
the host hotel.  As soon as the vendor's area opened, Jackie and I headed off for that special time as women known as
"shopping until you drop".  One leather skirt, a gorgeous PVC trimmed black leather corset from Paul C. Leather,
PVC gloves, PVC hot pants, and a laced/tiered necklace later, I had fulfilled all my needs for the moment.  I would later pick up
a nice pair of flat heeled over the knee boots, which really helped my tired feet after several hours of wearing various heights of
heels.  During the shopping spree, Jackie picked up some more jewelry and a hot looking leather skirt which she claims she
bought only because I bought mine and she saw one she liked.  Damn, I love that girl!

Once the shopping was done, we headed back to our room to get ready for the evening.  Jackie was dressing in her schoolgirl
outfit for the evening and I picked a black blouse paired with a floor length/high slit skirt, over which I wore my new corset.  We
had both decided to go with a more feminine look that evening since we would be helping at the Transformation station of the
Exploritorium.  After dressing we went to dinner, then hauled all of our supplies over to the other hotel used for the event to set
up.

The Exploritorium is a unique way of highlighting the variety of scene play all in one place.  A series of stations offer the
opportunity to watch or experience a variety of ideas, from electrical play to waxing, to various kinds of impact play.  Jackie, her
friend Susan, and I offered guys, and gals, the opportunity for a make-over, a place to ask questions about crossdressing, or to
ask about specific dressing issues, such as breast forms or wigs.

We had a good evening, providing information to folks and taking turns taking in the other stations.  We did facials on several
guys and two women.  One of the guys was our friend Michaela who was looking for ideas to improve her "look".  We
also tried a number of wigs on her looking for a younger look.  It was so much fun sharing with a friend the joys of finding the
right look.  This was the first time I had applied makeup to others and I found it a little difficult at first.  By the end of the evening it
much easier and I have to admit I really enjoyed the "looks" I created for folks.  Jackie had to leave early to go do dungeon
monitor duty at the other hotel, so I was left to close up.  My last two "clients" were guys with very natural features that made
feminizing them quite easy.  One was a submissive whose Mistress wanted to explore his fem side more.  The other was a
Dom whose bi fem-sub wanted him to dress en femme when they played.  Both had a lot of fun with the makeover, wearing the
makeup around the room for a while and experimenting with their "femme" space.

After the Exploritorium, I hooked up with Carla, a good friend of Jackie's who I have become very close to.  We talked for a bit and
then Carla topped me in a sweet scene using her floggers and a single tail.  It was a very relaxing scene for both of us.  Since
we had never played together before and Carla was really tired from all her duties as part of the event's steering committee, we
didn't play to long, but it was a special moment for both of us.  After we relaxed for a bit just holding each other, we gathered up
out gear and took the bus back to the main hotel.  I joined back up with Jackie for a while, watching the various scenes in the
main dungeon and visiting with new and old friends.  I eventually headed back up to the room as the events of the past few days
were finally catching up with me.  Jackie came up shortly and we ended another great day.

Saturday started with a nice breakfast, while visiting with some more of Jackie's friends.  During this trip I got to meet more of the
fantastic folks that have helped my sister during her journey into "femininity".  After breakfast I changed in to a hot outfit
consisting of a white, lacey transparent blouse, black leather hot shorts, the new corset and my new over the knee boots.  I
topped this off with my new short wig and some of the jewelry I bought the day before.

My purpose in dressing in this manner was simple.  I was heading off to help at the Fetishes Boutique booth in the vendors
Area.  Dottie, the lady I would be working with had mentioned to me the day before to wear something fetish or I could borrow
something from the booth. I had a lot of fun playing "Vanna White" as the owner of the boutique, Kali, once called my role as a
sales girl.  I've become quite good at fitting folks for corsets and the other goodies at the booth.  We had a couple of rushes of
business and again I met some real nice people, some even interested in my cross-dressing and my style.  One such person
was to have a major role in the rest of my weekend.

While working at the booth, a very attractive, well-dressed (fetish of course) Domme, Mz. Fawn, accompanied by her two male
sub's stopped by the booth looking for a maids dress for one of the sub's.  As we fitted him with a nice black, satin look maid's
uniform, she told him that he was going to dress as a maid for her that evening.  This would his first time fully dressed in public.  
The other sub would also be "dressing" for the evening, but he had some experience with this already.  The novice dresser
asked me all sorts of questions about accessories for the outfit and what preparation he needed to do before dressing.  After
they had bought the dress, I ran into them several times during the day.  Each time Mz. Fawn complimented me on my
appearance and demeanor.

Later that afternoon, as I was heading upstairs to rest up a bit and get ready for the upcoming evening, Mz. Fawn approached
me in the lobby of the hotel and asked a favor of me.  She and her "girls" were staying at one of the outlying hotels and were
supposed to meet up with friends at the host hotel to change into their outfits for the evening.  The problem was, they couldn't
find their friends and she wanted to get started on transforming "Jennifer", the novice dresser.  She asked if they could change in
my room and move their stuff to their friend's room once they found them.  I didn't think Jackie would mind and agreed to her
request.  I thought it would be fun and I was already enjoying talking with all three of them.

We went up to my room and they started changing.  I offered a few suggestions to Jennifer and marveled at Tina's
transformation.  Although Tina does not have a lot of experience at appearing in public, Tina was a knock out.  By that time
Jackie had returned to the room.  When explained the situation to her, she pitched in with some makeup ideas for Jennifer also.  
During all this Mz. Fawn was asking both of us questions about our dressing and scene activities.  It was really a lot of fun and
felt great to be sharing ideas with her and her "girls".  She offered to play with us later that evening if we wanted.  We
both told her we would see her in the dungeon later on if we didn't connect with her sooner.

I saw them downstairs in the lobby and the bar shortly afterward and it was great seeing how quickly Jennifer was catching on to
be in public en femme, even with those super high platform shoes she was wearing.  A bit later, they came up to the room and
picked up their stuff, again offering to meet with us later in the dungeon.  Jackie had plans for a heavy scene for that evening,
but I told Mz. Fawn I would be interested in doing a scene with her later if things worked out.

While Mz. Fawn and her girls were using our room to change, another old and dear friend, Knight, showed up to spend the
evening with us.  Knight has been a friend since the very beginning of my adventures in the scene.  It was good to see him under
a lot less stressful circumstances than the last time we spent time together.  I was a bit worried that all the activity in the room
would put him off a bit, but typical Knight, he took it in stride and fit right in with the group.  We also talked a lot that evening and
on Sunday about the new directions I seemed to be heading in scene wise and he gave me some interesting ideas to ponder
on that subject.

Following dinner and the awards ceremony, where Black Rose honored Jackie's friend Ed (the kind gentleman who had hosted
the dinner party I attended on Wednesday night), we headed off to the dungeon to see what was happening.  We connected up
with Mz Fawn after a bit and spent the remainder of the evening watching her play with her "girls" and a very intense scene with
Jackie and two friends of hers.  Besides those two on-going scenes there were all kinds of interesting play happening all
around us and at times it was more than I could take in at one time.  WoW !!!!!!!

The scene with Jackie and a couple she knows from The Resource Pool was extremely intense, even by Jackie's standards.  It
was so different watching Jackie take a scene this intense.  I had watched several scenes in the past with Ms. Cleo and Elliot
(Jackie's male scene persona), but had never seen her play this intensely en femme.  It was a different process to watch, as
Jackie maintained her "femininity" even when cussing and climbing the chains towards the end of the scene.  Jackie really has
captured her feminine side in everything she does.  It is a marvelous process to see and appreciate.

Watching Mz. Fawn play with Jennifer and Tina, I again found myself thinking how much this Lady captured my attention.  She
definitely knows how to play with CD's, playing on their feminine interests, while paying attention to all "parts" of their bodies and
beings.  I kept hoping she would again offer to play with me.  When the opportunity came, I jumped at the chance.  My mind was
already off in sub-space from just watching her play with both of her subs, in individually unique ways.  Her enthusiasm with
each of them and me was very catching.  There seemed to be an instant connection between us that carried into our play.  I
cannot honestly recount everything she did with me, but can recall some highlights.  The hood and cord around my
"clit" definitely put me further into the space.  Her talking to me, mentioning other things she could do to me, urging
me to "talk" to her during the caning, and her sensual teasing of my femininity, all added to the intensity of the event.  
Her switching between a flogger and canes seemed to propel me deeper into that "space" than I had been in a long
time.  She brought me to several peaks before finishing me off, something I had never experienced before.  My physical and
mental reactions to all these were the most intense feelings following play that I have ever felt.  When I put my PVC dress back
on after "coming down" a bit from the scene, I noticed that the outside of the dress became warm to the touch almost instantly, I
was putting off that much heat from my back and rear end.  Shortly after the scene, I said my thanks once again to Mz Fawn as
she and her girls had to leave for the evening/morning.  I realized later that Mz. Fawn and I had played for well over an hour,
although at the time it didn't seem that long.

I walked with Knight through the dungeon for a bit and then walked him to the front of the hotel so he could meet his ride home.  
Knight was really helpful in helping me refocus after that scene and getting myself somewhat back to earth.  After he left, I got a
late-night snack and went looking for Jackie.  We looked around the dungeon for a while and then went up to the room for some
much needed rest.

Sunday morning we slept in a bit, being awakened by a call from Knight who was back in the lobby.  He said he had just run into
Mz Fawn and her girls, who had asked for me.  We dressed quickly and headed down for breakfast with Knight.  After breakfast,
Knight and I headed off to get him fitted for some suspension cuffs for his wrists, and to look for Mz. Fawn.  Unfortunately I didn't
find her and was unable to properly thank her for the wonderful evening I had with her the night before.  Knight and I were able to
find a pair of cuffs that would work for him.  I'll be picking them up for him in Chicago the next time I stop by Paul C. Leather.

I have faith again in my instincts too!  My encounter with Mz. Fawn was the first time since that disastrous scene in Chicago
two years ago that I have played with someone upon just meeting them.  I know I still need to be cautious on this, but as
least my faith in the truly good folks in the scene is back where it should be.  From my first meeting with her at the boutique's
booth, I felt a real connection with her.  Much like Ms Donna, Mz. Fawn really does understand crossdressers and where our
heads are.  The physical and mental connection she makes with her "girls" is very real.

I've talked a lot in this report about my adventures and me.  I need to take a moment and talk about my sister, Jackie.
Jackie has surpassed me in her efforts to become truly "femme".  Her new look after some minor corrective
surgery is awesome and inspiring.  Although I cannot do some of the things she has to achieve a more convincing femme
appearance, she has given me a lot to think about and try.  I feel very honored that this special lady considers me her friend
and sister.

Jackie has been through a lot in the past year and I am very happy to see her life coming back together.  She is so fortunate
to have the support she does from so many loving and caring people back there.  And her new male friend, Allen, is
awesome.  I really like him.  I worry about Jackie a lot since I can't be back there with her as much as either of us would like,
but I am much more comfortable these days after meeting her "support group" and seeing how happy she is these days.

Each time I take a trip back east the experience seems to surpass the last trip.  This is again very true with this latest trip!
I truly feel I came closer than ever to being in tune with myself, I got to meet some more awesome people, and had the
chance to renew several previous friendships.  I was able to play with three very special people and quite honestly
experienced a level of "sub-space" I had never though possible.

I wish to thank each person that made my trip so special.  This "report" does little justice to the special time I had
due to your efforts.  Thank you so much and I dedicate this "report" to each of you!
