Sissygurl's birthday

A few days after going around the sun again things remain the same,eh?

However you attempt to wrap this up, it's all about getting better at being you rather than really getting any older or different really as from the beginning of time people have tended to say by your early years they know what the chronologically older you is going to be.

For me it remains as it always did, a fine tuning here and there but basically the same me with no blinding "now I'm a grown up" moment so Mrs "happyasagrownup" I could never be you even if I tried, it wasn't there and I'm different. I'm happy not being one.

And that is okay really.

Like this is my birthday but it's just as it's always been essentially, routed over decades, very much in the first and a bit so you have the same sorts of things as presents cos that's what you enjoy and I'll add the odd post here and there about some of them cos I like things in some kind or order.

There were some more plushies, pretty lingerie, chocolate and money.

Although there will seperate entries later on I did get a Hall and Oates sacd of album I only have on record, a sacd box set of Violin Concertos and a few classical records.

The latest installment of Now Yearbook presents the '60's: 1963-1964 was a lp present, three discs that show the new sounds coming in that were to change popular music.

Why talk about them? Cos I'm more than any one thing, nay, this whole sissy gurl thing.

There were phone calls and cards obviously but every was as it remains and I'm happy about that.

Girlguiding 2026

It's been a while since I last made a post about GirlGuiding which is trying - being the operative word in the Post Cass Report era - to find their way though a desire for inclusivity which takes in those who are or feel they're trans and the constitutional issue of being from when Dame Agnes Baden-Powell set up GirlGuiding of being just for girls (and women) with legal challenges from activisits and some parents.

Anyhow, this is how the "top" of Girl Guides looks in 2026.

Senior Leadership Team (National)

Chief Guide: Tracy Foster (appointed for a 5-year term to champion volunteer and girl experiences).

Deputy Chief Guide: Sally Kettle.

Assistant Chief Guide: Mhairi Mackay.

CEO: Felicity Oswald OBE.

Chair of the Board of Trustees: Denise Wilson OBE.

Patron: Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. 

Ambassadors

These individuals help raise the profile of Girlguiding in the UK:

Anna McNuff: Adventurer and author.

Laura Anderson: Environmental scientist ("Less Waste Laura").

Katie Zelem: Professional footballer.

Ellen Buttrick MBE: Paralympic rower.

Dame Jacqueline Wilson: Author.

Tori James: President of Girlguiding Cymru and adventurer.

Made By Mammas (Zoe Hardman & Georgia Dayton): Podcaster

There many, many others who do help out, former girl guides, those not but with girls that are interested and those in Trefoil Guild which runs along Girlguiding areas for those who were or were not in Guides and still like to go things together as Girlguidling for adults helping out often to.

Trefoil is open to men and women.

Inclusivity isn't just about gender issues as important as they can be but also about ensuring that whatever religion, race or disability there's a space for to shine be it as a guide or as a helper.

Pictured is a former guide and now helper who has Tourette's which has been in the news, she might involuntarily say the word "Chicken" but she's making a difference and that's just what this thing is all about, helping girls be their best selves.

The frills and I

There are two forms of presenting for me and today we'll take a look at the more traditional one.

Normally I tend to talk more about little forms of presenting being simple to put on by a younger you without lots of straps with adjusters, fastenings and the like but as we get a bit older we may wear fussier things for special occasions even if we may need an older sister or grown up to help with it.

Bodices and corsets give shape and that can extend to flowing petticoats not to mention slips and really if you got me on a good day with some support I'd just love to wear teamed with a pretty dress.

They do help in managing my age dysphoria in making me look more how I am on the inside still a junior child and were not an issue although I do like to wear skirts much of the time getting pretty antsy if I can't.

I can wear them in more feminine ways too if I wish.

The bigger thing in being a adult little gurl is following my interests as that sissy and Tom Boys are just the same in reverse.

Pasts

A week back to the usual routines and in some ways a look a bit at pasts and past conversations in lots of ways as after all nothing started from nowhere and most of us who've battled with identity know it's never really that straightforward.

For many of us, our girl friends (not girfriends!) are a bitter-sweet bit of our past, the ones we looked up to the ones whose take on being a girl whither you came to the Ts mode or Sissy mode like me we took the model of feminity and expressing in part at least from. 

Imagine just what it might of been like to have been able to say "I want to be like you and hang out with your friends" just walking to and around school but we knew that wasn't going to happen.

Either we'd bottle out or we'd fear she'd say "Don't be silly, you're just a boy and anyway I have my girlfriends all sorted".

We did the best we could. Jacqueline and I would skip games to chat together and maybe play the odd game in those gender gated days together adoring her.

Others might of thought you wanted to be her boyfriend but you knew it wasn't and she knew you weren't like the boys.

Sometimes all this comes flooding back to you over the years.

Looks 2026 style

It was a rough start to the week here so I thought we'd look a little about presentation and pose cos it matters in this life.

I just love acres of satin with frills with hose.

You might go with a pair of zip up boots and a mini skirt with leather or denim jacket feeling very ahem "hot".

You might like Sweet Lolita although I'd need help in dressing to really pull that off as much as I just love that whole look.

These days we take our clues from Team Pink and maybe they have ideas about how they'd think we'd best look as sissies.

Winter challenges

Recovering from bad cramp having three attempts yesterday to get out of bath after a long really rather indulgent in a good way soak.

There's been a few things going on here in the last week such as a couple of new pieces of equipment in the stereo and the resumption of a monthly magazine whose subscription just seemed to end without any kind of "In a months time your subscription runs out. Please renew to continue" kind of an email at all.

I ended up finding a subscription discount code and renewing by hand.

Seeing last week had it's bitterly code and windy moments I did have to remember to turn the delicates inside out when washing as I had my frilliest lingerie on underneath thick sweat shirts (a pink one) and track pants plus girlie gloves.

Few of us would disagree with that but 41 mph winds up your skirt revealing all to all isn't my idea of fun as much as I'm for being girlie.

Practicality does win out but in winter keep the layers as girl and sissified as you can for inner warmth being you whatever the temperatures might be.

Being out and having special girls know

There comes a point in your life when beyond raiding the dressing up box or the school spare clothing pile you realize there is more to this than just wanting to wear what girls you know and secretly admire do, you need to go a step more girlie and you want them very much in on it.

It doesn't have to be based around more adult themes which generally we don't go into on this blog but it might be being a uber filly femmed gurl in a play pen to play with while the girls look on and maybe play with the plushies with you.

I am becoming more and more a frilly sissy from top to bottom and learning to enjoy it.

You love it as much as it turns you red and feels humiliating but then you might secretly like that whole "caught out" thing.

A more sissified take on games you used to play and love

There again you might of wanted a sibling to see you as you felt you were rather than in the identity Mummy and Daddy had in mind for you and you just don't belong in.

They may want to exhibit you but somewhere down the line between the red cheeks you want to be "out", you almost crave that attention.

I just feel a good number of us do even if we may not feel like taking this to the lengths more full on adult sissy takes which is perfectly fine but it seems daft to deny it

Just enjoy being the sissy you are how it takes you
