Delayed return

 

Goodness me we are late getting our blog together this morning aren't we so perhaps you'd care to give me a spanking for it although before then I will just explain if I may, that my internet was being changed and they really messed it up with the Grown Ups using some very rude words to describe how it was been left.

Because I was without any internet until yesterday afternoon when I had a device that would at least give me the internet from a Mobile Phone service that would connect to my chromebook I couldn't write a post and the odd site I like to look at appears to be on a blocklist as mobile internet is restricted for the protecting of bio-children which is only right in a away as much as grown ups feel, I would say rightly, the're best kept of social media too unless it's highly moderated and just for children.

It did give me time to read my Christmas annuals such as the Beano and the comics I get plus a few records came too although in one way it was fortunate it had snowed hard at the weekend as without no knowledge of when they were coming, I might of missed them!

Hopefully by next week we'll have this internet sorted and I'll be able to get to some of the sites I like to see but at least I have a connection now.

Teenbeat: More stereo explosions in the Wintertime

What was billed as a major snow storm was really rather a mild one here at the yesterday and monday so all the preparation was really rather wasted with a  couple of centimetres of snow at the most but something it did do was give me the opportunity to listen to the latest in a series of special cds for collectors.

The stereo explosion series of cds was a new series started a few years ago by the enterprising Eric Records company in Oshawa, On., Canada who specialize in finding and re-issuing original hit recordings that in an era where albums are more coveted the single version which is often different is hard to find new.

There was a period in the United States especially where such records were tossed out as singles especially mono single mixes were seen as "old hat" and not worth spending money on storing.

A lot of research and time finding them even if sometimes a clean original record may be the only available option would be undertaken and they'd issue compilations of them for collectors and presenters of vintage chart shows.

The Stereo Explosion series follows the same concept they would try to find the stereo single and using modern techniques of using artificial intelligence in audio extract individual elements within a recording that wasn't issued in stereo and remix that to stereo.

We had got up to Volume 10 in 2023 and just before CatMas, Volumes 11 and 12 were issued.

Volume 11 is more the mid 1950's to early 1963 period covering rock and roll as shown by the Elvis Presley selections, early R&B/Soul from Sam Cooke, Gladys Knight and classic pop fromthe Crystals and Chiffons.

A tidal wave swept the American charts from the end of December 1963 wiping out much of what had gone before and it was British and this selection from  mainly 1964 and 5 captures many of these sounds although the likes of the Beatles aren't covered.

There's no problem finding anything by them on cds!

Singles in the UK often weren't on albums, were often only mixed into mono for playing on Radio Luxembourg and inexpensive portable record players and so seldom have a true stereo mix...until now.

This just imagine my delight to hear the seriously brilliant Yardbirds perform For Your Love, Bits And Pieces by the DC5, Please Don't Go by Them and I Can't Explain by the Who in very credible clean sounding stereo.

Recordings that influenced the next wave of American acts and actually Berry Gordy of Motown really rated the production and beat of those early DC5 songs.

Also included are the awesome Animals, Manchester's Herman's Hermits and those Swinging Blue Jeans with the infectious Hippy Hippy Shake.

The out of this world Telstar produced by the amazing Joe Meek appears sounding really fresh with the second mix a generation higher than the one used for the single sounding clearer than ever.

For those of us who love pop hits of the 50's and 60's these discs are just great for the songs, memories now in stereo sound.

Twenty Twenty Four little review

 

Twenty Twenty Four,eh? 

Does anyone know where it really went and indeed where as we go through the outro into Twenty Twenty Five where we'll end up?

This blog has being going, like ages sometimes going more down one set of interests and then the other  but one thing was we achieved a good number of posts, all original, made over a variety of different computers from the legend that was "Treacle, the slowest thing out there in the west to the death of the old Windows laptop to the adoption of using Chromebooks to do most things including blog posts on.

One arrival late last year was this Lenevo Thinkpad 280 which had better processors and more ram for dealing with social media and BIG photo galleries apart from online in browser games which has helped matters somewhat not least for having easier to read keys.

I tend to use Windows for certain things such as running photo programs and cross posting so a solution was needed as much as for more everyday stuff I'm quite happy to use a Chromebook

Some sad trends continued such as the declined usage of one "little girls" site, sad cos I struggle with few very long continuous threads rather than themed threads on a layer of sub forums and some Tumblrs dropping off as trying to find tumblrs that are around littles fashion, age regression and really SFW can be hard going. 

I do use Sissy Kiss that has its uses although it lacks some of more discussion  and Daily Diapers that has some but suffers from a few vicious purist Little Girl warriors that although there's a sissy sub forum try to drive us away while Sissy School tends to be more "Big" Gurl by topics.

I'm working through developing looks that I feel comfortable in a variety of settings as some which may be fine for others just don't it for me or are unpractical when it comes to either putting on, fastening  or being carried in the case across railway platforms before taking lifts.

Some of my older ankle socks were showing some signs of wear and tear so I did have for Christmas three of these of cotton calf length socks that will work with most things apart from just below the knee with patterns for a more sophisticated look while being close to the appeal of pelerine school type socks.

Music has always played a part in my life which why it is on here and 2024 did see a few more records being added, some from the The Original Source series of Classical re-issues cut from the original four and eight track tapes directly rather than copies and selected reissues from people like Analogue Productions.

I did get a good number of the mono reissues of the Beatles American albums from 1964 and some books about them for Xmas.

The Now Yearbook series kept going although generally on record I haven't bothered with the post 1982 issues but we did continue with the 1970's issues with 1977 and I expect as we get into the the New Year there will be issues from 1970-72 and 1975-76 which I will be buying.

Part of is tactile and nostalgia based, handling and lowering the stylus brings back the memories of playing the compilations of the day the is the music itself which I love listening to.

We did get away rather more than the previous year sometimes for a weekend, other times for a good few days for clean non kink connected fun just being your younger self, playing games, going out places and given we look after our food connected needs, helping out.

Plans are afoot to go away for the first quarter of the year and tentative ideas are being mooted for weekends too which should be fun.

Comics play a part too from the Beano to modern offerings such the Phoenix with more modern characters as do colouring books when the hands are up to it, getting absorbed in something relaxing either at home or away.

Christmas Day thoughts

So it is Christmas Day today something that brings back the good memories of long gone Aunts, school friends and those parts of the season you loved and the bits that really irritated you, such as the presents you could never really get into as they laboured under the assumption you were a boy and, if that was bad enough, in later life a Man for cryin' out loud.

Just imagine what might of happened had your parents and wider family had the courage to if said "we don't know what they really feel they but we'll respect their wishes and let them explore how they see themselves, play with all our children as they are.

No "You boys do that", "Oh girlies, you can help with dinner or play with your dollies together".

In so many ways that would of been the bestest Christmas present for Tammy, being hurself, exploring it all, deciding for hurself what to keep and what to reject.

In someways then this more regressed more little sissy gurl Tammy side is both a continuation of that process and the necessary re-immersion into gurlhood needed to come out as you for having had similar experiences to that of bio-girls.

It's also being majorly little Christmas for me is a more child-like experience of girls presents, other things like books about music I like, a few records by artists I like wrapped around the sweetness of hugs, kisses and cute cards.

You can't be "big" without having a "little".

Pre Christmas Edition

There was some fun and game elsewhere in the last few week but we are just getting on with things as time goes marching by and into the magical season of Christmas with a week to go by the time you read this and having recovered, if that's the right word from spending time with little sissies and others at the weekend.

Christmas is a time for littles and children really, where the magic is really for real as things just come out of the blue taking you very much by surprise and where all being what you wished for will become become tree.

In times past we always had a tree, in my heart of hearts I'd dearly love to have one but that would mean lots of moving things, decorating that creates issues for those who help look after me although a half the battle back then was the cats trying to climb the thing!

I'd loved to had been that sissy on the right just skipping along in ones tutu in the snow happy, glad to be the little sissy gurl I was surrounded by girls who just accepted that was my place in the scheme of things and it would be great if a machine could just make that so?

Wishing every Sissy Gurl a very happy christmas and a frilly new year!

Love, Tammy.

Stuff that just like happened

 

It's difficult trying to be productive and that not least as with having to replace two computers I have a few issues to resolve along the way like a bit of the bank of images I built up for the next few months of the blog went as one machine just died from the hard drive up and I failed to back those images up and the chromebook that works with issues only has one USB socket and the mouse has to go there as the trackball is broken so it can be used with it.

What that of course means I can't put a spare USB memory stick in to copy over the files and maybe transfer them to both machines which is pretty annoying actually so I'm going to have to wait until a USB hub comes and hope that will cure that bottleneck.

We are making some progress on the christmas front with some cards organized ready to write and all being well I should be at an informal pre-christmas party the weekend before Christmas so I'll have to sort my party dress out.

I think we'll pause just after then as things will be a bit busy and resume just after Christmas.

Taking things a bit further

 While the week has been challenging not least for having some responsibilities to fulfill and also having some difficulties with the impact of the last weeks exceptionally hot weather with really took the stuffing out of me I did feel I was getting somewhere in this battle to be me.

The life you lead is dictated by what you do and the feel of bra straps drawn tightly makes a gurl, a gurl in just the same way that for girls from around eleven you begin to get accustomed to co-ordinating it with your tops and fastening it tightly

Inevitably even in those early budding days, your look alters being more recognizably feminine which is why sissikins needs to wear  pink bra with her pink satin panties from now on.

While time has been limited I have got myself established at two social blogging sites restoring a sissy inspirational tumblr where the original one got axed in copyright strike in late January 2016 although you do have to be mindful of what you post since the late 2018 rule changes and redirected another more "adult site" to cover a bit more of what cannot be posted at Tumblr.
