MTF Transformations: Abbi Kadabra Magically Transforms Travis into 50s Housewife
Travis and I met at an LGBT Thanskgiving Dinner in 2012, and we hit it off immediately as I perused his drag queen photos on his cell phone. Travis dresses as Abby Cadabra for performance art and to express himself in sometimes outlandish ways that his guy side just can’t justify. While Travis and Abby don’t fall under the transgender or crossdresser umbrellas, they are a part of my male-to-female transformation photo project and are allies of the transgender community. Abby and my trans-women friends hit it off at my Saint Patrick’s Day party, and Abby has extended an invitation to my friends to attend her Halloween blowout party.
In this photo series, Abby applies her own makeup, affixes her breast forms, styles her own hair, and selects her own clothes and accessories. She hams it up for the camera keeping true to her 1950s Stepford Wife persona and the drag queen role of performance art.

St. Paddy’s Day Party Photos
Celia, Giselle, and Abbi laugh and giggle at my St. Patrick’s Day party for trans-women and allies. We had 23 guests attend.
Celia, Giselle, and Abbi show off their diva sides. Abby identifies as a drag queen, Giselle as a crossdresser, and Celia as transgender. I love the diversity of expression and identity.
Abbi Kadabra shows off her Stepford Wives look while Benita, Giselle, and Celia duck behind her. My St. Paddy’s Day party is the third social party my roommate and I have hosted since January. Save the date for next month’s party–April 26, 7:30 p.m.–“Fiesta de España: Vino y Tapas”
