Going forward

The last few days frankly haven't been great ones with me, not least with a three day mega migraine period that really scrambled my brain but sometimes it is worth asking a few basic questions of yourself as this sissy.

You can do all of this in a number of ways and the only golden rules are wearing lingerie that is feminine all the time as after all females have and use so many different modes of dressing depending on what they are really trying to achieve.

I've always had two sides, one a work in progress which is a more full on grown up sissy side that has sexual elements  and another separate side which is really regressing back into various points in my childhood but being dressed and doing the sorts of things more like a girl would do rather than what we were coerced into.

Part of this age regression is a coping mechanism being literally the child-like with vulnerabilities me working within what I can actually cope with rather than pushing so hard at appearing to act more grown up and sophisticated I am left to cope with what I can't with no support and guidance and part is coping with how the nervous breakdown affected me.  

I am wearing more child-like attire privately such as school uniform as it helps to lift me more into that headspace and less likely to be 'read' as a fully grown up sissy and in that regressed role nothing like that ever happens.

We have tidied this blog up as it was rather messy and a spanking might well of been justified for leaving it like so but the main emphasis remains on that little sissy side  here and rather more on my interests 

I am and remain a little sissy gurl who likes to wear skirts and dresses and has a dominant feminine side not transgendered but also sharing the odd mainly masculine trait, happy to be so but when the adult sissy wishes to come out then she can.

Play

hh

So it's Wednesday and we're looking a bit about what underscores being the little sissy side as sometimes it gets lost in bigger kinky play or seen as a bit odd for the fact you are quite happy to do what most others feel strongly they've outgrown and just what the hell is wrong with you?

Well for us it's about enjoying a time and space away from the things we may have to do like work and wash the dishes ourselves but for sissies it's often about recreating a time where sadly we were not able to be ourselves.

It may be on our own in room you've dedicated to that perhaps buying some of the toys, dollies and things you were denied but your sisters and female cousins had that you longed to play with.

Or perhaps a few of you can meet up, sort some food and play for a day or two as so many of us missed out on it. We may even of hated the play dates we were made to have with boys and their ways instead.

Now some may put that in the context of someone else "having you do that" which isn't what we are talking about but those "made to" things could never really work without you actually wanting it anyway.

Sometimes they're just making happen what you wanted all along.

How many of us wanted to hug a beautiful pussy cat in a pretty dress?

Most of us!

It's a good idea while we're doing this to deal with past bad habits.

Meet the Rangers!

It's been a while since I last looked at an influence on me and this week we look at the section that is for older girls.

Rangers in Girlguiding are children aged 14 to 18 who meet to hang out, learn new skills, and take part in adventures as they move towards womanhood.

What Rangers Do.

Activities and Badges: Members work on interest badges, skills builders, and top awards like the Ranger Gold Award or the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. 

Leadership and Volunteering: Many Rangers act as Young Leaders, helping run units for younger sections like Rainbows, Brownies, or Guides. 

Travel and Adventure: The section offers local meetups, UK trips, international travel, and outdoor camps. 

Community Action: Girls make a difference by supporting local causes, speaking out on issues they care about, or joining advocacy panels. 

Apart from all of that you hang out together and have fun!

A day out

Away days can be fun and I did get away at the weekend to Llandudno, North Wales.

Tourism is people is the mantra perfectionists of the photographic or painting sort need to consider - it's why things are there - so they belong in a picturelike this threesome do with the recently restored Grand Hotel that was showing signs of neglect a few years back.

The recent ferris wheel helps pull in interest in what is the most commercial part of this resort town.

The pier itself badly damaged in storms December 2025 has been restored with new facilities making the most of its length and views out, busy on a Saturday.

The was a car and vintage bike display on by the Lifeboat Association that generated a lot of attention.

That's the full length of the Pier with a cafe and area where people fish from as the tide was coming in

Looking across the beach towards the Little Orme and Craig-y-don with children playing while people sat on the ample seating watching the day go by or perhaps recalling the days it was them playing!

Lewis Carroll is linked to Llandudno so it's no surprise there's a trail devoted to Alice In Wonderland and this rabbit that often gets a new jacket.

Tons of children had there photos taken by it as I sat watching by parents and grand parents.

Now Yearbook 1971

The period in the early 70's when music was taking a big chunk of my interests as a seven year old in Infants still listening on 247 and 208 metres Medium Wave on my handed down portable radio and the family stereogram in an era when pop music was AM only and I plug the Sharp portable tape recorder in the back to copy stuff I liked.

Really this era wasn't much compiled missing 1972's tv advertised sets on Ronco and K Tel so it was re-recording on Music For Pleasure's Hot Hit's and Hallmark's Top of the Pops series each with a "dolly bird" on the cover and eleven or twelve songs and much later on in some "Glam Rock sets" so it's great to have this although there's no Ringo, George and Rolling Stones in this 80 song set.

Disc One opens with Elton John’s signature song ‘Your Song’, followed by Paul McCartney’s debut solo single ‘Another Day’, and Rod Stewart with his first chart-topper ‘Maggie May’ alongside the second #1 for T.Rex with ‘Get It On’. 

U.S. classics also feature such as Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ is as popular today as it was in ’71, as is John Denver’s ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’  that I liked plus country-pop hits for Lynn Anderson and Olivia Newton-John come ahead of singer-songwriter gold from Cat Stevens and Carly Simon.

Diana Ross hit #1 with ‘I’m Still Waiting’ which wasn't an A side in America and the Jackson 5 hit the top in the U.S. with one of their most beloved tracks, ‘I’ll Be There’ all followed by peerless soul ballads from The Delfonics and Al Green along with big pop hits for R. Dean Taylor, Blue Mink, The Fortunes, Sweet and The Kinks before Tom Jones completes the first disc with ‘She’s A Lady’. 

Disc Two opens with Judy Collins’ version of ‘Amazing Grace’ was massive hit and would end up spending an incredible 67 weeks on the UK charts followed by Peter Noone enjoying a big hit covering David Bowie’s ‘Oh You Pretty Things’  from Honky Dory and Cilla Black was back in the Top 3 with ‘Something Tells Me…’.’Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves’ gave Cher a U.S. #1 and comes ahead of a run of pure-pop gems from Clodagh Rodgers (with 1971’s UK Eurovision entry), The Mixtures, Jackie Lee, Lobo and ‘Knock Three Times’, the first #1 for Tony Orlando & Dawn. 

Easy Listening gold up next from Andy Williams, Perry Como, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones and Tony Christie, plus more of the years’ pop hits from Bay City Rollers their first ever #9 hit , Gilbert O’Sullivan, Marmalade, New World, Hurricane Smith and to close the disc a Top 10 hit, ‘I Believe (In Love)’ for Hot Chocolate. 

Disc Three celebrates 1971’s groundbreaking soul, rock and singer-songwriter classics, opening with Marvin Gaye’s landmark masterpiece ‘What’s Going On’, although this wasn't a UK hit single in truth  before the Oscar-winning ‘Theme From "Shaft"’ from Isaac Hayes. Ike & Tina Turner’s electrifying ‘Proud Mary’ is followed by the sublime ‘Spanish Harlem’ from Aretha Franklin, while Diana Ross and Gladys Knight & The Pips deliver two of the year’s finest Motown ballads with ‘Remember Me’ and ‘If I Were Your Woman’. 

The second half of the discs see a superb run of rock classics, from Titanic’s international smash ‘Sultana’ and Deep Purple’s ‘Strange Kind Of Woman’ to Badfinger’s ‘No Matter What’, before one of the defining anthems of the era, The Who’s epic ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’. 

Three Dog Night’s U.S. #1 ‘Joy To The World’ leads into further highlights from Curved Air, Family, C.C.S. and Atomic Rooster, while Redbone’s ‘The Witch Queen Of New Orleans’ and Free’s ‘My Brother Jake’ showcase two more unforgettable rock-oriented chart hits. 

This peerless collection closes with three timeless recordings: Buffy Sainte-Marie’s powerful ‘Soldier Blue’, Joan Baez’s interpretation of ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’, and finally Janis Joplin’s posthumous hit – the classic ‘Me And Bobby McGee’. 

Disc 4 opens with another run of unforgettable chart smashes and #1s from Rod Stewart with ‘Reason To Believe’ and T. Rex with ‘Hot Love’ one three that year , plus early glam-pop favourites from Sweet and Slade. 

Mungo Jerry keep the #1s coming before Dave & Ansel Collins' groundbreaking chart-topper ‘Double Barrel’ became the second ever reggae single to hit the UK #1 spot – and another #1 for The Tams with the re-released Northern Soul classic ‘Hey Girl Don’t Bother Me’. 

This is followed the Four Tops, The Temptations, Bill Withers, The Delfonics, Jackson 5 and The Supremes delivering a stunning run of timeless Soul classics, joined by the Northern Soul favourites ‘I'm Gonna Run Away From You’ from Tami Lynn, and ‘Heaven Must Have Sent You’ from The Elgins. 

Pop favourites from Middle Of The Road with their #1 ‘Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep’whose moves I still remember, Tony Orlando & Dawn and The New Seekers lead into two of the year's most memorable #1s – both tv-personality led - that book-ended the year as Clive Dunn's ‘Grandad’ is followed by Benny Hill's ‘Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In The West)’ - the Xmas #1 for 1971 that many of remember from his tv show - to bring this spectacular Yearbook collection to a smile-inducing close.
