Final Edition - Hail and Farewell

Well how about one more song from my last play - I wrote it, and hired someone
to record it. I thought it came out pretty good

This is the Final Edition of Transformative Honeymoons.
The lack of comments has been a disappointment, and
I've moved on to a new course of action that does not leave
me with time for this blog. 

But, it was fun for awhile, and I prize the on-line connection
I made with Jennifer who runs Jennifers TG Caps of Defiance:
 http://jenniferstgcaps.blogspot.com/?zx=6e63229c547ce702
She is actually a very nice person, and her comments were
always fun and supportive.  She also has the unique honor of
being the only person to comment on my work.  There were
38,278 page views to this blog, and exactly one person was
there to offer me encouragement in her comments.  So
Jennifer is like 1 in 38,278, like winning the lottery.
Thank you.

So here's my top (5) favorite caps from this site:


This is my favorite caption -
I'm starting a blog about plays and the circus:

but I'll warn you, it is not a trans site

This cap was a trade in Rachels Haven to Jennifer

I just love the boots



I've lost 35 pounds officially, there's a way to go
 Based of traffic, the top five posts were:

#5 - A Hat Trick!
http://transformative-honeymoons.blogspot.com/2010/12/hat-trick.html

The site had over 1000 page views on 9 days, with a peak one day of 1,806.
typically it averaged around 600-800 per day, but when I tried to switch to
once per week, traffic collapsed, so yeh, you, me, we're all tired of this blog.

I'm going to leave you then with a poem by Robert Lax.from Circus Days
and Nights, pg 105

Then we talked about talking.
It was good, Mogador said,
to talk thus
"Whatever is withheld is lost.
Whatever we give away,
whatever we throw away,
what we disburden ourselves of
is profit to us.
We keep giving things away,
throwing them out
like old chairs out of a house;
keep destroying
until
we can destroy
no more."

"Because what is left
is indestructable"
I said

PS- typically a caption takes me an hour or two, and posters take me
two or three hours. If you really were looking for a "clean" caption or some artwork
by Samantha1, I could do it at a pretty reasonable rate, say $20/hr and I'd be
very sympathetic to LGBT themes.  Send an email to samanthastevens1@live.com
same thing if you have an interest in my last or my next play which I'll develop
on my new blog: http://bertabeeson.blogspot.com/  This will not be a trans blog,
it's a blog about playwriting and Circus stuff with occasional trans stuff
thrown in.

PPS - Adios Amigos!

  1. It's sad to see this place closing up, your a wiz with photo shop and deserve more attention for your skill in the TG community. I'm glad I could provide a little bit of banter while this place was up and running.

    I think my favorite piece of work is a tie between the book cover jacket, which was just mind blowing, really it was the first piece of work based on something I've done, by someone else. Loved it! and of course the hand drawn caption you provided me with. also a first! I loved the naughty tale you crafted for it, it was great!

    Of course I've enjoyed all of the caps you have made me, I just felt the need to pick a fav given the nature of this post. just some closing thoughts and kind words.

    but the best thing about this blog, was getting to chat and befriend you. yes it started on the haven, but it really flourished here at your blog.

    I joined your other blog now and I hope things keep looking up for you. ^_^ "hugs and kisses"

  2. ooooh! I like hugs and kisses.
    You know that made me smile,
    especially after a long day at work.
    sigh, time for a little Bailley's,
    and a little smile on these lips
    (like Mona Lisa).

    I think of the Pink Bottoms cover as yours,
    even if I do go around forging your signature
    (in fun of course).
    That first panel of the hand drawn caption
    is really sexy, too bad I couldn't post it
    here, but then the hand drawn captions are
    meant to be special.

    I sort of miss the blog, but I really need to
    keep my head in the game these days -there's
    a lot of hopefully positive things happening.
