Dream Girl 2

Bollywood seems to be making the kind of crossdressing movies that Hollywood used to do in an older era: think Tootsie, Some Like It Hot, Nobody's Perfect, Sorority Boys, or a myriad of lesser films.

This is the trailer for Dream Girl 2. The original movie apparently featured female voice impersonation.

If you like it, YouTube seems to have videos linking to the full-length movie. I also found a dubbed trailer so maybe there's a dubbed full version somewhere if you want that. Netflix India apparently has it, fwiw. 

Lily Blinz

Another long-time favorite amateur. With France favored by many to win the World Cup, this seemed like a nice time to revisit her Instagram. I posted about her 15 years ago but the Flickr photo seems to be gone now. Perhaps the problem is that her Flickr profile is private.

Jess Kelly

Back to the amateur theme. A new fave among the gurlz.

There are a couple of guy-mode photos on the Insta.

Stop! That! Train!

I learned about the film with the same name as this post today from Stana on her Femulate blog. I found the trailer and discovered that it is being released June 12. It seems to be a RuPaul product with lots of drag queens in various roles:

It looks to be very campy. 

I put flight attendant as a label but this film is about a train. 

Crossplayer

 Kids these days have so many advantages.

You are going to want to see more photos -- either on Reddit or Instagram.  

While it may seem that the breastplate is doing a lot of the work, this cross-player is also a talented makeup artist -- and has a thin physique.

Mr. Rani

 Has anyone seen this movie? It sort of looks like a Bollywood version of Tootsie.

Retro: Bosom Buddies (remake)

This video is from a 4-episode comedy series that involved the stars remaking the opening sequences of a "classic" television show. 

Retro: Freddie Mercury "The Great Pretender"

Peter Straker and Roger Taylor joined Freddie as the backup chorus gurls.  

Here's an image from Straker's Instagram:

This video features actor Andrew Garfield.

Feeling It

I took advantage of the (too rare) opportunity to dress over the Halloween weekend -- and it felt great. I have a small wardrobe, but I enjoy the occasions when I can dig out my secret stash. 

Looking at Instagram today, I found a short video by Dani Andretti that expresses how I feel while femulating (even though this is not me and I do not look nearly this good):

Retro: Sorority Boys

This was not a good movie, but some of the themes were worthwhile and the gurls sometimes looked nice:

Retro: The Crying Game

 Jaye Davidson was nominated for an Oscar for this performance. 

Retro: Bosom Buddies

 When Cillian Murphy won the Oscar for Oppenheimer, I noted that the talented actor had femulated in multiple films. Tom Hanks, of course, has multiple acting Oscars and began his career in a dress. I'm guessing many young people in the community don't know that.

Here's a peek at the credits:

It seems very difficult to find any more substantial videos of the performance en femme. 

Retro: The Odds

From 1993, it's "Heterosexual Man" featuring video appearances from some members of Kids in the Hall. Spoiler: towards the end of the video the entire band femulates. 

Here's an image of Dave Foley from the video. 

Retro: David Bowie

David Bowie - Rebel Rebel • Top of the Pops. Anyone know of a live action video that feature's the song's story?

 

Retro: The Kinks

The Kinks - Lola (Official Music Video). Does anyone know of a live action video of this song that is not merely from a concert or TV program?

 

Retro: Lou Reed

Lou Reed - Walk On The Wild Side, with help from some of Andy Warhol's superstars.

 

Heidi: A favorite "amateur"

Last post, I commented on my love of "amateur" gurls like Sherri Brown -- those in the community who are neither professional (or aspiring) drag queens nor gurls in transition via medical assistance.

Heidi Phox has been posting content to the internet for so long that it hardly seems accurate to call her an amateur, but by the standard I'm using she is. I first posted about her in 2009 and she has frequently appeared on this blog -- though many of the original image files suffer from link rot. Sigh. The video content remains, however. And she still has a public Flickr account. 

If you follow Heidi's content, you know that she has many friends in the community, goes out and about with her supportive spouse, undertakes destination trips to dress, etc. She's an amateur "star." 

Here's a recent fun video sort of in the same spirit as Sherri Brown's. 

Sneaky: Still an amateur?

I've blogged previously about Zach "Sneaky" Scuderi, a gamer who often crossplays. Now, however, Sneaky is posting some pics in "regular" gurl clothes and on June 25 wrote "it's not a joke anymore" followed by a sad face and the #femboy. I'm not entirely sure what to make of it, but it seems like a not-so-subtle transformation in image. 

Here are a couple of recent pics from Sneaky's Instagram page.  It's certainly growing more interesting over there. This is the June 25 pic I mentioned:
