anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Four-in-hand neckware for women?
Yippee! Another American Apparel tie-in.
I do, too! My fave movie is Kinky Boots. All the transvestites I've known have been the most fabulously bitchy, fascinating people in the world!
I wish Kelly would have stated where she works.
Aw, me too :)
transvestites are my fav!
I like those crocheted vesties my mom used to make us in jr. high.
that's funny...I don't see the word transvestite anywhere....hmmmm
Gene Hackman in cognito at the end of the movie The Birdcage. Funniest transvestite ever!
Gary Busey during the Captain's birthday party in the movie "Under Siege." Scariest transvesty ever!
I love how many people have misread the typo!!
Definition: "Transvesty"
- stylish vests from Transylvania.
- stock market fiends who are constantly transfering their investments!!??
- people who hang out in the vestibules of subway transit systems....?
Uncle Milty. First cross-dresser on television.
I used to know a number of transvesties (:-))
they taught me everything i know.
bless them.
Ro: Good ones! (But no typo, I think.) I used to be a fat tranny on acid, but now I'm fully vested in trans-fatty acids.
Nightingale: Milton Berle made for a homely girl, bless his heart, but he was hilarious. And you're WAY too young to remember those shows unless you saw re-runs decades later.
I kind of liked Gwyneth Paltrow's male role in Shakespeare in Love. Verrry sexy with that little mustache.
My boss cross-dresses as Carmen Miranda on Halloween. I wish I could post pictures!
I used to be a cross-dresser but now I'm happy with the way I dress. Bada-boom!
is it a "typo" if it's written by hand?
Who's Milton Berle?
no it's a hand-o
No, it's a write-o. But "transvesties" is coming into common usage as an alternative to "transvestites," which can sound a bit clinical and unfunny.
Nightingale, Milton Berle was the host of the "Texaco Star Theater" program on television in the early 1950s. He sometimes opened his show dressed as a caveman or a woman. He was known affectionately as "Uncle Miltie" and "Mr. Television."
Another TV character who frequently appeared in drag was Corporal Klinger on "M.A.S.H.," played by Jamie Farr. Klinger was trying to get kicked out of the Army on a Section 8 by dressing as a woman. It never worked.
Captain in Drag, I had forgotten about "Kinky Boots." Do you remember "To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar" with Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo? Painful!
Margarine in your fridge: I didnt' see yours before I posted write-o. Hand-o is better.
hand-o's are always better.
Hand-o's with margarine. BTDT. Heh-heh.
My mother made a a transvestie; if you give her enough material, she can make one for you, too.
For fascinating, bitchy and well dressed it's hard to beat the Lady Chablis in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. S/he played herself, too. I know a couple of semi-travelos here in town (dress in men's clothes but wear eyemakeup and fingernail polish.)I don't know what you'd call that, except maybe that as Michael Caine put it, "They're not exactly gay but they don't mind helping out if everybody else is busy."
Spam question: What is 4 times four? 6teen, obviously. Or do I mean six10?
Baby Basil, those are just called cross dressers. There are a couple in my town as well. Everytime I see a man with shoulder length hair I wonder if he is secretly a cross dresser.
I've never heard "transvestie," usually if we want to shorten/informalize it, we say "tranny." I've know a couple, and in either presona they were wonderful, giving, caring people. One of my absolute favorite movies deals with this subject - "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" with Terrence Stamp, Hugo Weaving (muchly before LOTR or Matrix) and Guy Pearce (mmm.) Imitation is suicide!
I know of silicon parties, where the trannies inject silicon into their own lips and implants. Just pop a syringe right in there and inflate lips and implants all on their own. There is leakage and lumpy mishaps, but that's what they do. But I do like the transvestites, they are so festive.
I first read it as travesties. Who wouldn't love those too?
Part of the fun of this site is paying attention to detail. Either get it right, butcher it on porpoise, or move on. But please don't waste the readers' time with inane comments after not paying enough attention to the original find or the subsequent posts. Go read a dictionary. Or your kid's Highlights Magazine. Thank you.
To Wong Foo = hilarious! I'm glad someone else thought of it!
Well....... I was having trouble waking up this morning. Then I came here. I'M UP!
I've always heard other people and myself, call them 'trannys'. However, I thought the find read 'trannsients'. @ Ro: These are the ones who hang out in the subway vestibules.
butter---"butcher it on porpoise"? that is just cruel and inhumane! you will have PETA after you for sure....maybe just stick to the cookies!
Okies this one confuse me ...
Its a word that dont really exist? Like... some people seem to say its a piece of clothing... and others seem to say its cross-dressing people...
If its cross-dresser, i laughed alot, because i wrote the EXACT SAME THING this week to my friend Daphnee (except i dont put nose to my smiley =P ) actually i write this quite often =P
We are both doing a master degree in sexology and we have to go in gay bar alot for a project where we both work. I could say I dont like it, but to be honnest, we already was going before they even ask us to go. =P I just love the way it is, how people are friendly and such. We have to leave before it get "a little more heavy" (aka last call) so it never break the image i have of it ^_^
OR
I wrote this note and passed it to my friend Daphnee at the last Rocky Horror Picture Show showing, where we had dragged our friend Sophie that is a little more prude than us =P Her shocked face was priceless ^_^
definitly I <3 tranvestites!
PS so, its cross-dresser or a pice of clothing? >.<;
why is postsecret having issues?????????????? i am distraught.
I think transvesties are just transvestites in training...
When I was younger I worked at CVS and there was a transvestite that came in all the time.. He/She was a little different though, their right side was male, left side was female, and they would argue all the time while in the store. Usually it was over lipstick or something the left half of them would want. In the end they would always just buy mentos.. very entertaining to see, but sad as well.
Wow, I can't imagine anyone in tiny, agrarian King City having such warm feelings for "transvesties." I, too, would love to know where Kelly works for some insight into the source of the note.
One Hand, you're starting to sound like a chick.
funny, i first read it as travesties.
at any rate, they're all very loveable
Butter, I don't care who you're talking to but I don't like your attitude.
I think The Rare Birds is just about my favorite find. EVER.
I love the alliteration of the Finder's name and location. Kelly Casey King City CALI.. Nice. Which of those movies was it just too convenient how they found all those fabulous clothes in an old building or something?
Connie and Carla was on the other day, too. I like that movie mostly because of Yummy David Duchovny... :^b
i was going to see if anyone else was haing postsecret issues this morning. glad i'm not the only one... er. bummer that it won't come through for you either!
...having...
Chromy, I love the Rare Birds too. Who brought that up? I don't think those guys are tranvestites. Nor the girls in the pictures behind them. Or perhaps they're trans-vesties wearing each other's vests. Doh.
There used to be a guy (British Rail employee) behind the refreshment counter on the London to Brighton train who wore flowery frocks and long hair (and Buddy Holly glasses, which didn't really help) but I don't think he fooled anybody. Does that count?
I love the way the smiley face has identical little dashes for eyes and nose. Very economical (and comical).
"Transvestite" MEANS cross-dresser. One gender dressing like the other. Which in the days of the ubiquitous jeans and t-shirt and flipflops, gets less and less meaningful unless they go the whole evening-gown-on-a-man route.
Either that or every single teenage girl I've ever seen since about 1960 wants to dress in men's clothing.
"Transvesties" sounds like an inside joke, misspelled on purpose.
Crisis, let's not forget Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in "Some Like it Hot." My favorite tranvestites!
to know butter is to love butter's sense of humor. talk about trans fatty acids. why do you think that cookie dough tastes so good? yum!
which is worse for you? salt? or butter? (or microwave popcorn with fake salt and fake butter?)
Jonathan, someone up there posted as A Rare Bird in the Art Gallery.
are you calling me fake, chrome toaster? after all our associations over breakfast? i resent that implication. <sniff> you know, oleo has feelings, too!
No, no no... I don't even KNOW what they use in that microwave popcorn, but I'm SURE it's not margarine. That's not what I was gettin at at all... You know you're my very favorite breakfast accoutrement.
To "margarine" --THANK YOU for "getting it". Yikes, are there no others out there who appreciated Victor Borge and Norm Crosby and their "porpoiseful" butchering of the English language? (BTW, "fishy" I AM a PETA member.)
Just goes to show you that the "dumbing down" of America has truly come to pass. Ya gotta have a grip of the language to understand the puns! I blame Dubya for lowering our collective IQ. SInce when do we pronounce "a" as "ay"? And "the" as "thee"? Any 3rd-grader would (should?) be able to tell you when we're SUPPOSED to use the alternate pronunciations. But our own Prez doesn't even know. I also cringe every time he says "nukular". ITMFA! Please!
(Dan Savage reference).
And "Tang", I don't care if you don't like my attitude. I'm sick and tired of our country getting stupider and lazier by the year. It's a very sad state of affairs, indeed.
But that's just my humble opinion. I'm now going back to the butter-laden cookies that will go straight from my lips to my hips. I ain't (sic) stoopid or laezey, but I am getting fat. (Or is it phat?)
And does it really matter whether butter or margarine is worse for you? At least if you eat butter, chances are you're not telling yourself it's better for you than margarine (or "oleo", as Gramma used to call it.) Everyone's gotta die of/from/by something. If we cure everything, there won't be any room on the planet. Which brings me to another thought --- are we dark meat or white meat? Well, either way, just don't eat the skin. It's fattening AND loaded with deadly pigments, especially that PETA tattoo.
If anyone else here enjoys puns, please let me know if you understand this Latin pun: "Semper ubi sub ubi". It's a family favorite, passed on through the generations. If you have other puns, please post them here. I need a laugh. A good laugh. An intelligent laugh.
(sigh) I miss Dave . . . and Paul . . . and Biff . . .and Craig, as well.
awww...in that case, let's let bygones be bygones. you sure know how to melt my heart, chrome toaster, and you're my favorite source of heat in the kitchen.
PS) To chrome toaster: thank you for using big words. It thrills me no end when others express themselves in words that go beyond monosyllabic. (I also miss "Firing Line".)
I fear that many people think a thesaurus is an extinct animal; I fear even more that it soon WILL be an extinct animal.
Yo butter, you may believe yourself to be witty and clever, but you come off like a condescending jerk. (I didn't even need to use a thesaurus or dictionary for that big word, either.)
oh my goodness, dear butter, you have taken quite a beating in that cookie dough today, haven't you? let it all out dear and you'll feel batter.
there are many of us here who enjoy good puns, as you know. ancient vivi in nashmare studied under victor borge, i'm told. i don't know latin, but i look forward to midlife crisis translating your pun for us.
who are dave, paul, biff and craig? why don't you invite them over for a toast, and i'll have chrome adjust the settings.
dick, "jerk" is no bigger word than..."dick"!
Eh, no worries, margarine. "dick" doesn't get it. Takes a bigger man to get me down.
Dave, Paul, et al ---> the men in my latenight life when I'm not getting dick. (Letterman, Ferguson)
margarine -- I do believe we've hit a nerve. Must be an unrepentant Republican, as so many dicks are.
Oh god, who the hell is this butter. Sounds like another pretentious asshole. Great. Not to mention a PETA member, they're the worse.
Pepper, that would be "worst". Geez, people can't even throw insults correctly anymore! Let me make your day.
Buhbye.
Butter sounds like another poster incognito. Mona or Salt because they are in the same category.
Semper ubi sub ubi has been one of my favorites ever since a friend wrote it in my yearbook in 1968. It translates as
'always where under where' OR
always wear underwear.
Sorry, Cream Cheese, there is no substitute for butter. I am me and no one else. And vice versa.
(Thanks, Babs. My dad and I would watch Steve Allen and Johnny Carson as well as 3 Stooges. Truthfully, there's only one thing lamer than our humor, and that's not "getting" our humor. Another -English- favorite: "Going to the movies? I see you're picking your seat." C'mon, how can that not get a laugh? Lowbrow? Maybe. But a person still has to use a brain cell to understand it. Thanks for playing along. There IS hope.)
I think 'tranvesties' sounds like some sort of sugary cereal. And there probably is a clever pun in there somewhere I'm just too hungover to try to come up with one. Anyone?
oops...I mean 'transvesties'. Lost an 's'. Did I mention I'm hungover?
Butter, you have delusions of grandeur. Why don't you get yourself a little soapbox and go to your local open mic night and prattle on with your smarter than thou bullshit. You admire yourself enough for everybody else.
Hey, Tang, we're in the same league. I'm referring to people who can't be bothered with unimportant details, like correct spelling and grammar. Some probably drop "0"s in their checking account record books as well. Others read .1 cc as 10 cc, then wonder why the hell they're being sued when the patient dies. Don't lash out at me, I'm not the problem. Just remember, all those illiterates out there are writing your newspapers and manuals and computer programs. I'm glad to read your big words because you actually used them correctly. Don't you ever get irked by some of the finds, or the responses to the finds, because of their sheer stupidity? I like this site as much as you probably do, but sometimes I blow a gasket, because we're surrounded by frightfully dumb people. And a few of them even post on this site.
Thankfully, they are the minority. For now.
Butter! I can't believe it! My dad used the same "goin' to the movies" line on my siblings and me! I thought he made that up. Are we related? Hahaha!
Sorry to break it to you Butter, but I am one of those people.
And you missed my bad punctuation. So there.
Tang, honey, I don't miss anything. There are times I choose to let some things slide. Really. Especially when I'm not getting paid to correct the errors. And stop belittling yourself. You're starting to sound like my ex-FB.
Nightingale, how about this one: (little finger bent in half and held to nostril to appear as if it is shoved up the nose), "Thought it was a booger, but it's (s)not."
Sweet merciful crap.
Let's see...overweight by her own admission, a Letterman fan *bleccchhh*, citing old comedians, so most likely middle-aged, I'm assuming female (due to cookie baking--oh, I know some "men" bake cookies, but the only one I know is my mentally unstable, unemployed, know-it-all uncle), so she's potentially menopausal...no WONDER she's so cranky!! Butter spelling and grammatical skills are exemplary!
Yeah Letterman sucks. And if he didn't suck enough there's Paul Schaffer. (spelling cops?)
Fishy!!!! ahahahahahahahahahahaha! Your pun at the end is priceless.
I guess I'm one of the morons (whom?) Butter hates. Sure, I "get" the puns when I hear or read them, but I can never seem to come up with any. I'm just challenged that way. (But that snot one doesn't seem like a "pun" to me. More like crass junior-high boy humor, on par with "c'mere and pull my finger".)
Yeah, Schaffer makes it worse!! And BTW, I suspect butter *IS* the spelling cop!
Hmmm.... and is this "find" related to the internal/external organ find? Hmmmm...
Who doesn't?!
This is fun. It would definitely be a good way to make you smile.
Who doesn't?!?!
HAHAHA! This find is hilarious! Somebody's way of yelling out their crazy little secret that they have probable wanted to spill out of them for some time now. Ahhnn.. Sweet freedoms!
