Cherry blossom sights and transvestites

At this time of year, there are few things that can avert people’s eyes from the cherry blossom or their booze, but a fella in a frilly frock would appear to be one of them.

    I think that ” She” like Lolita Fashion, a fashion subculture, so” she” cross-dressing.
    “She” actually dressed well enough to display Sweet Lolita, but “her”hairdo can be improved.
    But” she” sure stand out in this picture as dressed in Pink lolita to match the Cherry Blossom season.

    Everybody around is watching 🙂 She’s really disgusting though… I don’t understand how some people can enjoy being dressed like this.

      That’s primarily why I took the photo, as the reactions from people nearby were fascinating. It often surprises me how people somehow ignore the oddities going on around them, but not this time.

    The older gentleman behind “her” has already plans. After some sake, won’t matter, really.

      He’s certainly having a good look that’s for sure!

    I think he and penis girl should hook up. Not literally, just to talk about costuming of course.

      He isn’t. Not in the slightest. Plus he brightened up other people’s day too. And like I said to to Lizzy, he has way more self confidence than I’ll ever have.
