Big for my britches

Left the house around four to travel to Osaka city to the Tenjin (spelling?) Festival. Very crowded. Try to imagaine Marta on a Braves home game day...except everyone is wearing Kimonos and wood sandals. I decided to embrace how different I was that day and rock an afro puff.

The festival was basically a parade on water..same premise just not on the street since the streets are so narrow here. Riding in a taxi is enough to make you want to take a shot of SAKE and put a blindfold on. Me and the family got there about 5.30 with everyone else. I was looking for a place to sit amongst the army people everywhere. Little did I know, my host mom had made reservations to have dinner ON one of the boats. Hell, I was sitting next to the major of Osaka. The festival was rounded out with a fireworks show.

On to the "Betty"... a drag queen club. These were the most beautiful women I had ever seen... not to mention I size I was used to...over 5'6 and curves. All these women were post-op. I know this because I took pictures..and I was sitting up front in the VIP section...
