I regularly welcome clients from across the United States and around the world — including international visitors from the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, and beyond — for full-day and multi-day crossdresser, transgender, and genderfluid immersion experiences at my Takoma Park, Maryland studio, just minutes from Washington, DC. Whether you’re dreaming of a complete day living en femme in the nation’s capital or a full weekend of feminine exploration, I’ll design the experience around what matters most to you.
The Full-Day Crossdresser, Genderfluid, and Transgender Immersion Experience in Takoma Park, Maryland
For clients who want to spend an entire day as themselves — whether you identify as a crossdresser, transgender woman, or genderfluid person — I offer the 8 to 12-hour Total Makeover with Full Day Immersion package. We should plan your itinerary together to choose a starting time that works best around the opening hours of the shops, museums, and LGBTQ+ venues you’d like to visit. During your session, we spend the first 3 to 4 hours selecting your outfits for the day, applying makeup, and shooting photos. Feel free to bring several outfits, wigs, shoes, and accessories — we can always mix and match from your collection and mine. After that, we head out together to explore the DC metro area based on your interests and desires.
For full-day experiences, we can adjust your start and end times to best reflect the activities that are important to you. If you aren’t seeing any openings for your preferred package length, contact me with the dates you’re interested in and I can confirm availability. Book your full-day immersion experience online anytime.
Multi-Day Weekender Packages: Two or Three Days En Femme for Crossdressers, Transgender Women, and Genderfluid People Near Washington, DC
If a single full day isn’t enough — and for many clients it isn’t — I offer Weekender packages spanning two or three consecutive days. This package is designed for crossdressers, transgender women, and genderfluid people with a femme presentation who want more than a single day to explore. A multi-day experience gives you the time and space for a makeup lesson, multiple complete makeovers and outfit changes, an extended photoshoot, side-by-side manicures or pedicures at the local nail salon, wardrobe shopping for your own feminine wardrobe, and full outings across the DC metro area. Some clients use their Weekender to take meaningful first steps toward a more open feminine life. Others simply love the freedom of a longer escape with no rush. Either way, we design the experience entirely around what matters most to you. Contact me to discuss dates and plan our time together.
Shopping, Dining, Museums & LGBTQ+ Nightlife in Washington, DC En Femme
Washington, DC is one of the most welcoming cities in the world for a day out en femme. Here’s what we can do together — we’ll prioritize based on your interests so you have the best time possible.
Shopping for Femme Clothing, Wigs, and Makeup near Washington, DC
What are you interested in shopping for? If you’d like to shop for clothing or shoes, what sizes fit you best and what styles and pieces interest you? Pentagon City Mall is my favorite regional mall and offers a full-service MAC makeup store plus a great Macy’s and a Nordstrom Rack in walking distance. Tyson’s Corner Center is another regional mall in the area and has terrific clothing options in a variety of sizes and styles. The Macy’s here is top notch for formal gown shopping! Just 10 minutes from my studio, The Mall at Prince George’s is super convenient for a quick shopping trip to DSW (shoes up to size 11), Old Navy, TJ Maxx, the MAC Counter, Target, Victoria’s Secret, H&M, Ulta, and Ashley Stewart. If you wear plus sizes, Ashley Stewart, Lane Bryant and Torrid are our best bets. Lane Bryant is located in Kingstowne near Springfield, Virginia. Many Torrid stores have recently closed as of early 2026; the closest ones are now in Fairfax, Virginia and Arundel Mills, Maryland.
Georgetown in Northwest DC and Old Town Alexandria in Virginia are great for a combination of window and casual shopping, walking along the waterfront, and feeling like you stepped into a piece of history. Plus Georgetown and Alexandria have great photo opportunities for casual, on-location iPhone pictures. Georgetown is best for days with mild weather since everything is outdoors with limited shade. Alexandria has more shade options and easier parking than Georgetown.
If you’re looking to purchase a high quality wig, Joi Wigs in Springfield, Virginia offers an extensive selection with excellent customer service in a semi-private to private setting. They also offer wig trimming, styling and setting, wig cap stretching, and synthetic wig reconditioning. We need to make an advance appointment to visit Joi Wigs, and Wednesdays to Fridays are the best time since their Saturdays are swamped. Expect to spend at least $300 to $500 for a quality synthetic wig; human hair wigs are also available at a higher price point.
Iconic Washington, DC Museums
If you’re looking to visit the Smithsonian museums, most of them close at 5:30 p.m. while the Portrait Gallery closes at 7 p.m. and the National Gallery of Art closes at 5 p.m. We will want to meet earlier than noon, preferably at 9 or 10 a.m., if you plan to enjoy these gems. The private Spy Museum is a super fun, interactive experience and is open until 6-7 p.m. depending on the day. Paid tickets are required to the Spy Museum. We should allow about 30 minutes driving time from my studio to any of these museums plus 15 minutes for parking and walking to them. Parking fees can easily be $40 or more for downtown locations.
Dining out en Femme in the Washington, DC Metro Area
The Washington, DC Metro Area has lots of options for food from casual to fine dining and everything in-between. Some of my personal favorites include Motorkat and Roscoe’s Pizzeria in Takoma Park, Busboys and Poets in Takoma DC, and the LGBTQ+ karaoke bar, Freddie’s Beach Bar in Arlington, VA. Let me know what kind of food, atmosphere, and price range you’re looking for and I’ll propose some options.
Nightlife: Bar Hopping, Karaoke, and Dance Nights
For lounges and clubs, we have several LGBTQ+ venues such as Nellie’s, A League of her Own, Pitchers, As You Are DC, and Freddie’s Beach Bar. Nellie’s is a sports bar located in Shaw in Northwest DC. They have dancing on weekends. A League of her Own and Pitchers are co-located sports bars in Adams Morgan in Northwest DC and pretty casual. They offer occasional weekend dance parties. As You Are DC hosts a femme/trans/nonbinary-leaning, younger crowd, featuring Trans Tuesdays upstairs and weekend dance parties. Freddie’s Beach Bar is pretty casual and more karaoke lounge and bar than a club. They offer Trivia Tuesdays, Drag Bingo Wednesdays, and drag shows on Saturdays.
The place(s) we choose totally depends on what you’re into and the night of the week. Fridays and Saturdays are the best nights for dancing while Thursdays and Fridays are the best nights for Freddie’s Beach Bar. Freddie’s hosts a drag show on Saturdays that takes up the whole venue so we’d need to make reservations in advance for that; mingling with others won’t be possible until after the show.
Hotels, Transportation & Logistics for Out-of-Town and International Visitors to Takoma Park, Maryland
Lodging
The closest hotels to me are located in Silver Spring and College Park, Maryland. The Hampton Inn and Marriott in College Park and the Doubletree in Silver Spring are all 15-20 minutes from my studio and popular with clients. Takoma Park has two basic motels, including the Quality Inn, on New Hampshire Avenue that are quite convenient to my studio. They feature small, basic motel rooms that open directly onto the parking lot. If you prefer hotels, you’ll be happier in College Park or Silver Spring. Downtown Silver Spring offers an urban vibe while College Park is more of a suburban college town. Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt brands are LGBTQ+-welcoming brands so any of those in a 15-20 minute driving radius should be a comfortable choice.
If you’re looking to go out to Freddie’s on your own after our session, you may wish to stay in Crystal City in Arlington, VA. Be aware that it usually takes 45-60 minutes to travel the eleven miles from Crystal City to my studio in moderate traffic. In light traffic, it’s just 30-35 minutes. Many major hotel chains such as Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Marriott, and Holiday Inn Express are located within a few blocks of Freddie’s Beach Bar.
For international visitors flying into the DC area, all three nearby airports — Dulles (IAD), Reagan National (DCA), and BWI — are approximately 45 minutes from my studio during non-rush hour, making any of the surrounding hotel areas convenient for an overnight stay before or after your session. If you have to travel during rush hour, DCA airport in Crystal City, Virginia will offer the shortest travel time whether by car, Uber, or metro.
Transportation & Expenses
You’ll be responsible for any taxis, Ubers, tolls, and parking fees. I am happy to drive us once you’ve arrived at my studio until we return. You’ll be responsible for covering meals, drinks, manicure/pedicure expenses, and cover charges for the two of us.
How to Book a Full-Day or Multi-Day Immersion Experience Near Washington, DC
Single full-day sessions can be booked directly through my online makeover menu anytime. Select the 8-hour to 12-hour Full Day Immersion package, choose your date, and pay your deposit to confirm.
Multi-day Weekender packages are booked differently — here’s what to expect:
Multi-day packages appear as dedicated options in my online makeover menu. Unlike single-day sessions which require only a deposit, Weekender packages require full payment upfront at the time of booking. This is because I reserve multiple consecutive days exclusively for you and arrange the experience in advance across all sessions.
One of the best perks of a prepaid multi-day package is that you can borrow one outfit from my studio wardrobe to take to your hotel overnight. At the end of each day, you’re welcome to take home one complete look — outfit, wig, and accessories — to enjoy at your hotel, and return everything at the start of the next morning. For a two-day package this applies after day one; for a three-day package it applies after both day one and day two. This overnight borrowing option is only available with prepaid multi-day packages.
If you have questions about which package is right for your visit or want to discuss a custom itinerary before booking, email me or call/text 202-803-3231. I’m happy to help you plan.
