I Infiltrate Spike TV’s 1000 Ways To Die By Posing As A Crossdresser

21012Spike TV’s 1000 Ways To Die is a show that focuses on various unusual/bizarre/stupid ways people have died.

For a segment called Suck Her Punch, the producers of a show put an ad on Craigslist with the header: TV Show Needs Crossdresser.Of course I answered the ad swearing I was an expert at all things crossdressing.

I was told to answer a series of email questions such as:

A) What is it about cross dressing that you like?  How and why did you start?

B)  Is it a falsehood to think that men who cross dress are more feminine?

Going by the crossdressing moniker, KiKI–a former marine and works construction by day, I then sent in a photo I found through a Google image search utilizing the words “cross” and “dressing”.  It worked: Low-and-behold, I was booked on Spike TV’s 1000 Ways To Die in order to give my expert testimony on what it’s like to be a man who dresses as a woman.

Borrowing a dress from my friend Ali and then stopping at Walgreen’s minutes before the shoot to purchase some random makeup, I threw a bunch of accessories together in order to create the world’s ugliest looking crossdresser.

At the production studio in Burbank I couldn’t believe not a single member of the production team stopped me and said, “Come on! Are you for real!?”

Basically, my crossdressing Frankenstein concoction looked like she just spent a night with the Hell’s Angels. (Also, my purple dress wouldn’t zip all the way in back.) $300 I was paid for my performance.

What follows is KiKi-the crossdresser giving her expert opinion on the subject. Watch the video!
