Women HATE Hooters, Crossdressers LOVE it!

 Hello There,

    One of the things I find fascinating about crossdressers is their love for things genetic women tend to hate. Wearing bras is a classic example. Crossdressers will go out of their way to wear bras or even sleep in them; meanwhile the event many women look forward to most in their day is when they can finally take their bra off. These differences are what make crossdressers their own unique branch of femininity. One of these differences in opinion that I've recently had the urge to talk about is how women tend to hate the concept of Hooters and how crossdressers tend to love it!

Why Women HATE Hooters

    If you are somehow not familiar with Hooters, it is an American restaurant chain known for its chicken wings, sports-bar atmosphere, and waitresses who wear revealing and sexualized uniforms. Many women dislike Hooters because the restaurant’s concept is built on the sexualization of its female staff (it's brand name is literally a boob pun). Many women believe that the skimpy uniforms and flirty atmosphere reinforce the idea that a woman’s value lies in her appearance and ability to entertain men. This can feel objectifying and reductive, especially in a culture where women still to this day face pressure to look a certain type of way.

    Beyond the issue of the objectification of its female staff, many women also see Hooters as an outdated business model, which is unwelcoming to female patrons. The business model leans heavily on a male dominated customer base, with the idea of female beauty as one of the main selling points. That can make heterosexual female customers feel alienated and excluded, while also raising concerns about the kind of environment it creates for the women working there. Ultimately for women, it's comes down to having a fundamental issue with the values Hooters projects as a brand.

Why Crossdressers LOVE Hooters!

    So women hate Hooters, why do crossdressers love it? Well, many crossdressers enjoy the idea of dressing as a Hooters girl precisely because it embodies exaggerated femininity. The uniform is instantly recognizable and designed to accentuate curves, which makes it a powerful way to step into a “hyper-feminine” role. For someone exploring gender expression, slipping into that look can feel like a dramatic transformation and an exciting way to play with their feminine identity.

    What I think is an important distinction here is that crossdressers do this on their own terms, which changes the meaning entirely. Unlike the women employed by Hooters, who may feel pressured into an objectifying role, crossdressers adopt the outfit as a form of fantasy, roleplay, or self empowerment. It becomes a playful, self-chosen costume experience rather than an imposed expectation. Turning what some women find distasteful into a potentially liberating and thrilling way of expressing femininity.

    It just comes down to having a bit of harmless feminine fun, without the pressure of objectification. So it is therefore a common occurrence to find crossdressers dressing up as Hooter's girls. Just look at all the examples I found online!

    Crossdressers are so passionate about dressing as Hooter's girls that groups of crossdressers have even gotten together to make group trips to actual Hooters restaurants together, all dressed as Hooter's girls themselves! From everything I've read online about these group outings, the actual girls working at these Hooters always think that these groups of crossdressers are super fun!

    What do you think? Is this why crossdressers love Hooters even though women hate it? I think based on the images I've shown alone I should be able to have convinced you that the crossdressing community loves Hooters. Does the brand objectify women as a part of its business strategy? Maybe. Do crossdressers care? Nope!

DJtouhou: Queen of Rosalina Crossplay

 Hello There,

    Another day, and another unbelievable crossplaying queen I have to share with you! This time I bring you DJtouhou Cosplay! With a variety of cosplay's on his page, the standout by far is Princess Rosalina from the Super Mario franchise. With Rosalina being DJtouhou Cosplay's favorite character, it makes sense that so much effort went into the crossplay. He eloquently brings the protector of the cosmos, and adopted mother of the Lumas to life with flair and cosmic grace. DJtouhou Cosplay is truly a camelion, because when he dons this cosplay he fully transforms into Rosalina, it's quite the sight to behold!

    Interestingly the first version of Rosalina's dress that he made was made with a friend in just 5 days. For less that a week of effort, it looks stunning! Obviously this crossplay is a labor of love from a very passionate fan! Check out the picks of this first version of the crossplay below!

    Following his debut of Rosalina, DJtouhou Cosplay went on to continuously upgrade the dress, accessories and wig. Eventually creating what I consider the not just the best crossplay of Rosalina, but the best overall cosplay of Rosalina that I've ever seen! Check out all the amazing photos of the crossplay below!

    What an otherworldly beauty! Like I said it's like he's transformed into Rosalina! If the physical transformation wasn't enough DJtouhou Cosplay brought his crossplay to the salt flats so that he could get photos of Rosalina among the stars! With the lack of light pollution the night sky is stunning in these photos and DJtouhou Cosplay once again proves he is Princess Rosalina!

    It's unbelievable what DJtouhou Cosplay manages to pull off with this one, and yet he makes this cosmic fantasy a miraculous reality! In fact over the years many people would have been able to see this unbelievable cosplay for themselves at various pop culture conventions. I'm sure onlookers were just as blown away as I am by Rosalina's breathtaking appearance.
