DeliaTS~The Blog

Archive for September, 2009

Yay!!! We got our final approval from Visa this morning and DeliaTS.com is officially open for business. Most of the changes are cosmetic in nature. The main drive to start a new site was a desire to reflect my own transition and subsequent shift in identifying as a crossdressing male to a transsexual female. The title DeliaCD just didn’t really make sense anymore and I think it was starting to really confuse people.

People don’t always realize how much goes into creating our sites. Trixie did all the design work, layout, and graphics herself. She deserves a ton of credit for creating a beautiful looking tour that is chocked full of keywords and carefully placed pictures and graphics. The members area is even nicer! Again great graphics and design work and easy to navigate. All this while shooting fresh content for my weekly updates and modeling for her own site. Not to mention doing cam shows and dealing with billing companies, members, etc.

Okay, it’s not like I was just laying on the couch scarfing down bon bons the whole time. We do work as a team on a lot of things. I ended up working on moving content over and reformatting it to fit the new design. And other little things like the preview video. Oh yeah, I did the redesign here for the my blog too. Anyway, I hope you like the new design as much as I do

**Reminder for Members: Cam shows on Friday and Saturday see calendar for details.

I made this vlog a few weeks back just after my first year on HRT.  I post the longer versions with nudity in my members area and I usually post a g-rated version for YouTube.

For some reason YouTube always grabs the worst frames for my preview. I wish there was a way you could make your own preview pic. My voice sounds a little Micky Mouse-ish at times but it’s getting there. I’ve been trying to do at least a half an hour of vocal exercises everyday sometimes a bit more.

So after initially coming out to my parents they’ve had a little bit of a backlash. We’ve exchanged a few emails and I’ve talked to my mom a few times since coming out to them. They’re still in a bit of shock and denial I think. They’ve done a few annoying things like sending me Christian Science literature in a package with my boy name written in big letters and continuing to send email to my old address (which was also my boy name) instead of my new one (which they have and is also my new name). But overall I think it’s going really well and they’re even talking about flying out here next month for my birthday. I think once they actually see me and we get to spend some time together it will make things a little easier for them to comprehend.

I did make a little video for them just so they could have a better idea of how I look and sound these days. They haven’t said anything about it so I don’t even know if they’ve looked at it yet. Oh well, time will tell.

People keep asking me when the new site will be up and the best answer I have at this point is soon.  It’s been a real challenge doing all the things that I do already for DeliaCD and working on DeliaTS at the same time.  Trixie has been doing most of the design work while I’ve been working on getting all the content ready (building photo galleries and video pages)  and plugging things  in where they need to go.   We’re almost ready to submit it to our billing company (CCBill) for approval, which shouldn’t take too long.  I’m getting really excited!  It’s gonna be finger lickin’ good

I’ve been pretty consumed these last few weeks, pushing to get everything in order.  I tend to hyper focus on tasks like that and end up letting other important things fall to the wayside a bit.   Things like:  sleeping, cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, they all take more of a back seat.

I’m really glad that we’ll be getting out of town for a few days to do some shoots at a rustic cabin.  Though it will still be work, it will at least take me away from the computer for awhile and will be a welcomed shift in focus.  I just hope the weather holds up for us!

I’ll leave you with this parting shot:

Things are really starting to look up!
