You're away from home, visiting central Florida with no place to go!

 

You spent time getting your outfit together. You've done a painstaking effort in accessorizing. The hair is nicely coifed. Your makeup application comes out beautifully. You look in the mirror and, even in your most critical eye, you like what you see.

 

What to do?

 

Simply grab your purse and GO!

 

If you want to experience the central Florida t-girl lifestyle, knowing that you're going out to a t-friendly place can make all the difference.

 

Below I've listed a few T-friendly establishments for us girls who wish to experience life beyond the four safe walls, but are want a non-traumatic experience. 

 

If you know other places, please drop me a line with a short synopsis about the place and I'll add it to the list.

Suncoast offers a complete experience within the safety of the complex!

A very nice restaurant. Suncoast has several bars including a tiki bar, piano bar, and disco.  Even some shopping!  Also swimming pool and tennis!

The very best drag show around! 
Similar but a little seedier than Suncoast Resort (see above).
