Ich bin ein Transvestit
What a cool couple of days I've just had, look back about bemoaning about not having a scene to go to, fast forward to now. The lovely Becky Richards was in the country and came up to visit. Minor chaos when Becky lost her phone which was our means of meeting up, thank goodness for mobile email.
We were either going to go eat at a veggie restaurant or find the tranny Stammtisch(regular table). Stammtisch won and whata giggle that was, leaving the flat dressed, public transport in a foreign country, in an area of the city I didn't know. We got to the bar/cafe and yayyyy swiss trannies!!! They were lovely, in no time the tables were re-organised and we were slotted in, they all spoke English and assured us they didn't mind (very embarassing to be the only mono-linguals there). A small group, ~ about 8 girls, one boy and the delightfully camp owner. They were staggered by our descriptions of the UK scene and the size of the UK Angels and Roses. One of the girls estimated the active scene in switzerland at about 100.
So we drank, we ate, we chatted, some of the girls were heading off to a club afterwards but Becky and I called it a day to be 'fresh' (we left at 2am) enough to shop in Zurich.
So Sat, up v early - Zzzzzzz to get ready and go to town, more public transport then wandering around the shops (didn't buy much, some new sunnies and a bangle, saw a gorg red skirt in Zara that I should have got tho). Shopped back in H&M where they seemed a bit rude in boy mode, they couldn't have been nicer this time. I am told the rule is that if you want to shop for girls clothes for yourself then bloody look like a girl!! ok cool rule, I can do that :).
Only a couple of hours shopping then we had to get Beckys evil twin out the box to fly home. So Becky de-princessed and err, I didn't, I changed from a skirt and top into jeans and blouse and off we went to Basel look thats me on the train.
It was quite a buzz really, knowing that it's just me on the way back. What a lovely couple of days and no-one batted an eye, it was like its just the most normal thing in the world.
