Testing comments with the new design. Welcome everyone to tumbledry version 13.0!
Another video in the vein of ‘Star Wars Kid’ - This Dutch kid sings along to the song “Dragostea Din Tei” by Ozone. If you don’t like him, you’ll like the song.
Yesterday, I saw a cross dresser at Whole Foods. This is the first time in my life I have witnessed such an event/person in person. I hope this does not mean I have led too sheltered of a life. Anyhow, he had shoulder length permed hair, and a goatee. Looking south of there, I noticed what had first caught my unsuspecting eye: a black skirt barely longer than one foot, and varicose-vein legs that had been cleanly shaven. This look was completed with 3 inch (possibly higher?) heels. I wondered how I should react. Ignore? Forget? Open my mind to? My visceral reaction was apprehension. Either way, it was a good experience to have - it helped to cement the fact that they are certainly people with peoplish needs, wants, and dreams (and who need to grocery shop just like we all do) … but I am simply not used to interacting with cross dressers. It was confusing to; would I address them as who they appear to be or who they want to be? What if who they appeared to want to be was not who they wanted to be at all? Confusing, and worth a consideraion, for people in occupations like cashier. All that, and I could smell women’s perfume all the way down the frozen food isle. Let us see what other horizon expanding experiences this coming semester brings. Good luck to all of you.
May I say the redesign really caught me off guard. When first your page loaded it was un-stylized. After a quick panic and refresh I found a new design that was rather pleasing to the eye. And when it comes to those with Gender Confusion it’s best to take it at face value lest ye be caught up in such confusion.
Me too. Your website appeared very un-stylized when I first headed it’s way. But upon clicking the lovely refresh button I had guessed the reason why. It’s about time this design graced the public’s eye. Very nice work. Oh, and I’m sorry to hear about your unpleasant grocery shopping experience. Can’t make dinner any easier later in the evening.
