Just a note. I got back to Phoenix without any issues arising from my prolonged absences on Sunday and Monday.

The packages arrived yesterday. A little 'banged' up but intact. Thanks for taking on the task of sending them back.

I do want to thank you profusely for a FANTASTIC and FUN adventure. You were a wonderful steward to the en femme world and you got me to do much more than I would ever have dreamed possible. Everything you said about getting out en femme was true. You've definitely lit my fire to repeat the experience at every opportunity. For that, I don't know if I should thank you or chastise you. For now though, THANKS! Hugs,

Patti

The Emerald Fantasy is by far one of the best experiences in my life. Seattle is without a doubt the Emerald City. I was involved in a three-day makeover, and to say the least it was tailored perfectly for me. Shopping, dining, siteseeing, photos, conversation, and the best advice and guidance I could get. I had the opportunity to be Veronica for 72 hours, and really became her. Thank your for helpipng me feel proud of ME. Thanks for your friendship. I will see you again.

I'm cannot emphasize this enough, but I have become a lot more confident in life since you took me out. I can now talk to women without that little discomfort I had earlier. I can even talk to them about things that most guys can't. All the women who work in my company suddenly seem so comfortable talking to me. I have a lot more female friends at work now. They have no idea what I did, but I seem to have a special connection with everyone. I also lost my slight social anxiety. I can go out as a guy without being conscious at all. I can give speeches without sweating. I can dress any way I like - too casual or too formal - and not care about what others at work think. My less-evil split personality has really improved my life! Thanks so much.

I've finally got to my home late last night. I really thank you everything. I can not believe I could act as woman around the shopping center, on the street, in the jazz club. That is the dream I'd been dreaming.

I am not sure when I can go to Seattle next time. But, I'm gonna try anyway. I will!

I know with a mom's intuition it was due to YOU, your warmth, your heart and your desire to make Tammi's experience a truly memorable and fabulous one and succeeded in doing so fantastically that made her fantasy the most beautiful and wonderful real time experience she'd ever had, one that she has treasured and relived many many times since. (Big Hugs)

My intuition also tells me she will enjoy and treasure all of those delights, pleasures, fun and happiness she discovered for the first time last year once again with you as her companion and girlfriend for the day this year.

I AM STILL GLOWING FROM MY EVENING out with you. Thank you for the pictures. I just wanted to play dressup for the first time, but you made me feel comfortable as Jackieann.

I truly enjoyed your company, our converstions, and your help. I hope to be able to go dining and shopping with you some day... maybe even a Mariners game! A girls night out!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hugs,

Jackieann

It was an AMAZING experience, still reliving every moment as I write this. Obviously, it won't be the last time. I'll be back.

You're the best. Thanks for giving me the courage and the opportunity to allow me to truly discover my feminine self.

Girls,
Many of us dream of being transformed and spending some time as a woman. I just returned from mine, and I couldn't be happier!!

I have searched and RESEARCHED for the past 2 years, looking for the perfect transformation experience. There are several around the country offering many different options. Let me tell you about the most wonderful experience of my life......

After narrowing my search to 3 places, I chose EMERALD FANTASY in Seattle Washington. Angel is a wonderful hostess. I was very nervous when I knocked on the door, but that faded almost instantly.....

This is not an assembly line process. Angel and her other hostesses work one- on-on with you, and personalize the experience for your desires. She makes you feel so wonderful and beautiful. I chose her 3 day "Goddess" package and highly recommend it. By the end of the 2nd day the girls had me ready to solo, my only fear being does my makeup need to be touched up? (I had NEVER been out previously) They take you out where YOU want to go, giving you support all the way. They are charming, witty and wonderful ladies. They know where we are coming from, having walked in our shoes.

Here is Angel's web address: http://emeraldfantasy.com. Check it out, although I think she understates how wonderful it is!!!

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about my experiences.

A VERY happy customer, Denise

*******************

A fantasy is something we often think about and perhaps wish for but, unless we take action, may never come to pass. To some people a fantasy is thoughts and feelings they suppress because of fear that the reality may not live up to, or may surpass their expectations. It is this fear of the great unknown that, like a brick wall, stops so many of us from realizing our dreams.

Angel, I thought I would always be one of those people who think to themselves, " One day, I'm gonna do it...", but never "do" anything out of fear of adverse consequences. Then I found the Emerald Fantasy web page, read comments from your clients, and thought, " Can this be true? Is there someone out there who really knows how I feel and understands what I've gone through all my life? Is there someone who won't ridicule or reject me for who I am? I must find out!"

...And I did! Angel, what your clients write about you is true. You surely are kind, gentle, and understanding. And intelligent! What an interesting conversationalist!

What your service does is gently guide it's clients on a path to self discovery. All cold fears and anxieties are forgotten as they melt away with the warmth of friendship and understanding. Hostesses help their clients express themselves in ways they rarely can because of social bias or restrictions of families or careers.

(Are you really reading all this or did you get bored and hit delete after the first paragraph? This letter seems pretty long winded for a simple truck drivin' delivery person, huh? Oh, well, it's kinda late and I'm gettin' a bit loopy.)

When I walked into your room you made me feel welcome. After talking a bit you made me feel at home. Then when I slipped out of my "boring" male clothes and into bra panties and lingerie and presented myself to someone else, for the first time ever, you made me feel comfortably at ease. Then after the addition of some high quality breast forms it was time for makeup. I want to thank you for taking the time to explain all the "hows and whys" of makeup application. After you finished with my makeup and wig application, I was expecting to see some hideous beast staring back from the mirror, but to my delight all I saw was this great looking GIRL!! I remember my first words were, "That is NOT me". But it was!!

Then after that came the clothes and more wigs for different looks.( It's amazing the totally different look you can get just by changing hair style.) Then everything became a blur in a kind of surreal dream. Thank goodness I have the polaroids to prove it was real! After all the Photos and dinner OUT AND ABOUT for the first time ever the night was over way too soon. It was great that you let me go back to my room "en fem" without having to change. And then the next night more of the same and pictures at the "invisible" Kalakala and dancing too! My head was spinning...It all ended too soon.

Angel, you were pretty exhausted on Saturday night but you still showed me a fantastic time. Thank you so much for that...You are a caring professional and it shows. If I seemed a bit quiet while "dressed" and out I guess it's because I felt like I was in a dream. I'm usually more talkative than I was last weekend, as you can probably tell by this run-on thank you letter.

Anyway, I had the time of my life and got to be who I really am in front of a new friend I'll never need to keep any secrets from.

I can't wait to do it again! Maybe next time some shopping. Better start saving my money!

Thank you so much, Angel, for everything. And give my best to Marti ( did I spell her name right?)

Sincerely,

Chris, Port Orchard, Washington

Talk to you later and Thanks,

Since I have returned home I have been thinking about my appearance that day. The most important part was that, just as you indicated, we didn't have any problems.

Part of me is still amazed that I did it, yet in spite of being nervous I felt very comfortable as a woman and intend to explore the female in me more in the future.

I know the second time will be better, more comfortable, less nervous, and improved image.

I look forward to my next visit.

Janet - San Diego, California.

Say hello to Rosie and the other girls. Everyone was fabulous. I feel like I have a new set of girlfriends in Seattle.

Melinda - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I know a few crossdressers here in Portland, and I'm going to let them know about the Emerald Fantasy. Best of luck with the service, and I hope to get back to Seattle soon.

April - Portland, Oregon

Let me tell you again how much fun I had. Now I know there's not much I can't do out and about as a woman. I only wish Philadelphia were as wonderful an environment for "going out" as is your beautiful Seattle. Even a little rain couldn't stop us. In fact, I think it even added to the romance of the whole experience. It kind of seems like a dream now.

I know you asked for ways you can improve the service, but I can't think of a thing that I would have wanted to do differently. You are magic.

My work won't be sending me back to the Northwest 'til next year, but you can bet that when I return I'll be very anxious for another Emerald Fantasy. Maybe you'll have your boutique and B&B running by then!

Thanks again, and stay sweet!

I apologize for being nervous during my visit. I want you to know that as nervous as I may have been, however, it did not even come close to the hurt and loss that Beth Ann felt, when I boarded the plane to return home on Monday. It felt as if a door was being closed, and Beth Ann's freedom was being taken away. Words cannot explain how badly I felt at that time.

I would very much like to have the opportunity to come to Seattle again, and I am wishing that I can do it this summer. It's a wish that I need to hold on to. Beth Ann needs to grow and have fun - and I want to find the spark needed to help Beth Ann smile more easily.

I know that you are quite busy and you have many things to do, but you have a special gift for helping people. If it's OK with you - Beth Ann is asking for any help that you may be able to offer. I am hoping that helps you to understand the strength of Beth Ann's feelings. Beth Ann would really like for you to be her girlfriend. Could we keep in touch through e-mail?

The next mocha will be my treat. The next time, let's bring Beth Ann further out into the world.
