Lisa Fabulous's Birthday Bash http://www.karolcross.com/asp/dpage.asp?id=391 http://www.karolcross.com/asp/dpage.asp?id=391 email-me@via-karolcross.com (Karol Cross) Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:36:27 GMT In the three years since I moved to London this was the first time one of the friends from home has come to visit, so the occasion meant a lot to me.

And as luck would have it, it was my fabulous friend Lisa's birthday last week and she was celebrating at my favourite lesbian bar in Soho.

I would guess that my friend Chris had never been in a lesbian bar before. And definitely never...

I seem to have fallen into a routine of fetish clubs and extended after parties which were fun and exciting to begin with, but are almost routine now. Over time I've become more and more aware of this, and I decided a while ago to keep my eyes open for new opportunities and experiences. A break would hopefully do me good and help me rediscover my enthusisam.

I also realised something which is possibly unique to my own particular set of circumstances....

Royalty went to his club, he was respectable. He made men dressing up as a woman, ok"

He certainly did.

Well he did in the head of a confused kid looking for some reasurrance that he wasnt alone in the world. Of course I know now that myself...]]> Fun and Frolics http://www.karolcross.com/asp/dpage.asp?id=388 http://www.karolcross.com/asp/dpage.asp?id=388 email-me@via-karolcross.com (Karol Cross) Mon, 1 Jun 2009 21:07:13 GMT Well another weekend, another new experience!

Actually a few firsts happened over the bank holiday weekend.

I'd literally been looking forward to that weekend for months. But at the same time I was a little nervous too. You see my fab cool-as-can-be friend Alison is getting married in a few weeks to a great guy and Saturday was her hen do. Now sometimes when your close friends get married, you think "Oh my god!" and sometimes you think "Yay! That is so brilliant!". Well...

Which means I can finally start to spring clean this web site and my other pages (Facebook, Flickr, Chix etc) and knock them into shape.

And for once theres actually a good chance that I'll actually do it!

Weve been the best of friends since we were teenagers, and I was honoured to be the best man when my friend Smithy got married a number of years ago.

(You know I some how suspect my days of being a best man are behind me now. In fact Im going on a friends hen do in a few weeks, which will definitely be a new experience for me thats for sure! Funny how things change).

Anyway as often happens, as weve all...

I remember that I noticed her as soon as I walked into the club as she had a lovely smile and looked sexy as hell.

Her timing was perfect as I was starting to think I must look a total bugger as there were photographers everywhere and not one had even glanced at me, where as my friends where blinded from all the flashes going off in their directions.

And then when I was a student, it was always a time for daft adventures with Con and my other Irish friends.

Alas now I'm in London its not quite the same. But if I dont make it out tonight Ill defs be celebrating tomorrow at Madam JoJos. Well Ive got Thursday off work so it would be rude not to!

It was also interesting to read the perspective of a Female to Male transsexual, something I have little experience of. His comment about gender being more than genitalia, that its a state of mind definitely rang true in my experience.
