Winter arrives

 It may of technically of fell just after Christmas but this year we did have a White Christmas.

I love playing in the snow as many did around here making snowmen and tossing snowballs in snowball rights together and there's no reason not to wear skirts whilst doing so as winter play matters for adult little gurls like me too.

Of course I can do a spot of colouring later on with a warm drink from gifts like this colouring book.

It's great to be a sissy gurl.

Christmas 2020

It's nearly another year in the history of this blog and as today is Christmas day like last year we have an entry on the blog ready cooked like our turkey is ready for lunch with my parents and my presents are with them.

The one thing is they are all connected very much to my little side, the side that remains very much a little sissy gurl and to be truthful Christmas for me is a little sissy gurl affair - mine.

They have been opened across the morning and I've just got around to posting a bit about them as with the present pandemic we're not expecting any visitors for drinks and snacks.

That means I can be as feminine as I like wearing a grey skirt, blue sweater and white pereline socks.

This year I had the vintage Legoland set 653 which makes an ambulance helicopter to go with new and old lego sets I've had for the last two Christmas's.

As well, I had the vintage Legoland 691 rescue helicopter kit both of which were issued in 1974 and were things I would of had then and indeed I did have lego then bought me. Unexpectedly I got this monster type 10717 set of mainly bricks from Daddy with 1,500 pieces inside which will add a lot more to my legos.

Back in 1974 I did have an Action Man, actually I had a handful of action men with many accessories such as uniforms, vehicles, weaponry and equipment that I loved to play with and I have talked about on the blog a few times.

The Dandy is no longer published today weekly as it was when I was first young but D C Thomson do publish a Summer Special and a Annual with some newly drawn stories from the cartoon strips I loved as a boy. 

A child's Christmas is what it is I will be having with everything adult removed from the presents and expectations, dressed as such watching children's cartoons.

These two helicopters expand the playability of my lego by adding kits that I can play with from my own era.

They were sadly casualties of casting away to relatives children when my parents felt at fifteen I no longer wanted them which wasn't true cos I was still playing with them.

Recently a limited edition range of new "classic" Action Man figures were issued and this year for christmas I actually have a new one to treasure.

Rupert the Bear is celebrating his 100th birthday this year so I had a most useful calendar, The 100th anniversary Rupert annual with classic stories from Nutwood to read across the year.

This years annual which I had is shown with Desperate Dan carrying the weight of the Dandy.

In with the annuals was this retrospective look at the cartoon art of Dudley D Watkins who worked on various cartoon strips in The Beano and Dandy featuring whole original strips, some I had as a child.

The Classic series restores many of the best cartoon strips of those comics to circulation in themed collection.

Annuals were always a big thing with me and apart from the Dandy's I also had the Beano's but the modern Beano is of necessity different to suit today's children and that world so I didn't have this years but the Christmas 68 page Special edition which is enough to give me that feel of Christmas in Beanotown on top of the regular comic I get.

With the Beano, outside of the original annuals of the period I was first young, they take me back me to those days for being clearly set in the era so to read this years is to feel I was reading those comics and annuals all over again.

I did get this 1977 edition which I'm sure I had at the time, just into my teens, that'll take me back into that time when I played Mull Of Kintyre all Christmas.

Scouting is covered on another blog in much more detail but this year I did have a most useful hardback book.

Let's say Scouting and all it means has been at the core of much of my life this year and it'll be of great use to me.

Finally I did a record that only recently was issued which contains many of the hits I can remember from original childhood Christmas's including Merry Xmas Everybody, the number 1 Christmas hit of 1973

A Selection Box, not quite the classic packaging but pretty much the sort of thing I had back then. 

 

Where we are at

 

Things are different from the days this blog had started with greater acceptance of gender variation as it effects us personally from our interests, personality and way we present even if a good number hold against reality that their son or daughter will be the gender stereotype they were brought up with.

The reality has always been I am not  nor am I in anyway almost fashionable transgender because I love my actual sex identity but more my gender side goes against certain cultural norms that in general has more issues with for bring male than a good many women and girls have (not saying they don't get negative attention sometimes).

In connection with that I did under go an online  test just for curiosity's sake and this is how it worked out

Certificate: Test results Sissy Proficiency Test

You have quite a high score! On some questions your answers scored nearly "100% sissy" male. For some other questions, the answers you provided made you appear to be either offended, uninterested and/or unable to live your dreams. Of course, the options above mean different things to different people. It might be that you would like to be more of a sissy, but home/work life prohibits or inhibits your ability to enjoy absolute and full sissy life. Either way, you are more than half-way to being a sissy! You have three choices: (a) work harder at becoming a perfect sissy; (b) stay as you are and just have fun, or (c) convince yourself that you are actually a red-blooded male... and good luck! Whatever you decide... be safe, have fun, and enjoy life!
 
Take this quiz: Sissy Proficiency Test

While I don't associate myself as with some aspects of online sissy culture  it did comfirm my feminine side and that going forward it is really best to work with that.

Having been back and forth over the years as there is no great combination of terms that both command wide acceptance and adequately define the sense in which I am not either male or female by gender even though I accept my male sex, I am now prepared to accept Sissy Gurl as main  gender idenitity.

Stripped down, its obvious I'm a Sissy Gurl.

Going back with events

 

While with other events in country in this last few days have taken us back us back a few decades or so and give us reason to look ahead to changes, this week I'm going back to twenty ten.

I was rather experimenting with looks beyond that had initially inspired me such as more formal office wear or the stuff of my schooldays, the blessed school uniform.

Things more Goth or Emo were more it so I had short  net like skirts, tops and over the knee ringer type socks although I did experiment also with wearing stockings with them.

Ditto lace up canvas shoes or heels although I tend to be rather wobbly on the feet with limited control of their movement.

It was a bit before the tartan micro skirts started to come in and with the netting underneath could give you a far bit of modesty although obviously you do mind how you sit.

Choices

December means Christmas of course with all the preparations that come with it which is big if like age dysphoric me you view this from a child-like prospective.

Winnie The Pooh was a childhood like and to have a pinafore dress or dungarees with them on is not just cute but a step back to the childhood we'd of wanted, just being us. 

As far back as the late 1990's we still read and used paper based catalogues to order from or make notes for in store shopping.

I mentioned about the Giroscope purchase that never quite happened a while back but that had a backstory to it too because it was upon finding that tartan skirt originally bought in the very late 1970's by Mum one day when no one was in the house that I did start to wear it carefully folding and putting back in the chest it lived in.

This I am sure is a thing many feminine boys go through, helping ourselves without permission to other peoples things cos we "need" to wear it then being oversized "borrowers".

To me it is the only source of shame we can have because of our inability to ask them for the very garments or even be given them if they were only go to go to a collection.

Going back, this is a twenty inch length ladies kilt skirt I bought this year in the Dress Gordon tartan very much in that mode so it's just above the knee with me with the knife pleats at the back, designed to fit on your actual waist, above the naval.

It's just the thing for when I want to look smart with either long socks or white tights.

Crackerjack returns

Covid had many effects on things in our lives but Series One in the revamped Crackerjack! was a victim of it with filming delayed for what would be a second series following its widespread praise in being just sufficiently updated for today's children but keeping the core of what the show great as children are children what era you're in.

Series two resumes on Friday December 11th at 6pm on CBBC with the Christmas special which was really funny with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt from BBC's breakfast time taking part in the show presented by Sam Nixon and Mark Rhodes.

I laughed my socks off as Naga got the gunge and remembered quite a bit of the Crackajack players story on on  the "Watch it" section which is a test of observation and recall.

Naturally I watched this show from a young boy and so I remember Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart who also presented Junior Choice on Radio One at the time.

That's so nineteen seventies!

Here in the UK we love a Annual, a yearly round up of a show, magazine or series and during that era you may well of had one with your selection box and toys.

The Nineteen Eighties when I was getting out of official childhood but still was in nearly every way saw me watching the show just the same as I had ten years before and so Stu Francis is a face I fondly remember presenting it.

Ooo I could just crush a grape!

All that AND "Wee Jimmy" from tv's The Crankies, it was a riot and a possible influence in remaining looking as a little boy.

As with Blue Peter there has been "behind the scenes" books published over the years.

The next edition in series 2 of the remake will be screened in the new year.
