Spirited Away

One thing I enjoy is animation and this anime from 2001 is one that I recently watched.

The story is centred on Chihiro, a headstrong 10 year old girl who is very unhappy that her family are relocating and so she'd have new friends.

Making their way toward the new home, her father takes a detour to explore a mysterious tunnel in the woods while on what is the other side there appears to be a deserted theme park but is actually a ghostly town.

Without realizing it they have strayed into the Land of the Spirits, a world of dreamy scenery that is inhabited by ancient gods and magical beings ruled over by the sorceress, Yubaba.
Chihiro's parents are held hostage and with Yubaba set on enslaving them forever, she must use all her energy to survive in her new strange environment.

Aided by Haku, a young brave spirit, she is forced to overcome her fears joining an epic battle for her family's freedom.

I hugely enjoyed watching this which won the 2003 Oscar for the best animated film which in the opinion of many has set a new benchmark in animation.

Satchel

One thing I remember very much from Junior school was having a traditional leather satchel with a pocket at the front to put your name and class on. 

We used to it carry anything such as books we needed for class in as we had a separate bag for our PE and Swimming stuff.

Rather like with the wooden pencil case I had I felt really proud of it, taking care to keep it in good condition.

You may buy one for your LSG uniform.

There is a massive part of me that loves wearing girls school uniform in the context of feeling very much a school aged little sissy gurl who wasn't able to wear hur preferences at the time so wearing both would be so nice for me.

The Sooty show

 The Sooty and Sweep show was a boyhood favourite and here's a few images from it.

Going to bed...

Orginal puppeteer Harry Corbett who died in August 1989 being shown a tune Sooty has made for the Xylophone. He presented it from 1955 to 1975.

Sooty appears to be somewhat animated towards Sweep

Harry son, Matthew presented the Sooty show from 1976 to 1992.

Soo came in after criticism there was nothing and no representation for girls in the show and was later criticized for her domestic roles.

That is my childhood Sooty which lost his wand that I used to chant "Izzy Bizzy lets get busy" to perform magic with while my younger brother had a Sweep in grey

Setting your direction

The tried and true method of finding your way, a compass and a map as taught to this girl and used here shown by a girl scout remains unbeaten as much as modern smartphones seem to suggest they're the modern "Swiss Army Knife" of modern outdoor life.

As a Brownie, Girl Guide, Cub ot Scout you know mastering this matters cos "no signal" is a real thing and you still need to find your way.

Thoughts on arts and crafts

The chief focus of this blog was always around being assigned as a boy but being very very girlish and how that ran through my life as a child in school nominally seen as a "boy" and as time went on into exploring more that surpressed girlish side that has never really gone away.

As much as I had no issue with the short trousers I had to wear at school  I much sooner preferred to wear the girls uniform and take some lessons normally segregated along gender lines with them.

Arts and crafts was the area I loved even if I needed some help with bits as free from the frustrations of not understanding maths and the written word as a child with dyslexia, I could just express my thoughts and imagination though the creativity I had that wasn't so blighted by that.

To of done so in a school club dressed in pinafore dress and white socks would of been just magic for me.

Choo Choo's Pt.2

Another place we visited a few times in the 1970's was the Vale of the Rheidol which is a steam train line running from the Welsh university town of Aberystwyth to the Devils Bridge some 12 miles downline.

I'm sure the engine we went on was called Owen Glendwr who I think was something of a hero to the Welsh fighting English occupation of their Country.

 The countryside in that part of Wales is very mountainous and really beautiful.

Spanking and sissy life

To be become a sissy gurl you didn't get spanked but you can't deny it is an important part of being one from whatever angle you may be coming from.

The more child-like side takes it from your own childhood - perhaps you were spanked a few times and it's stuck in your head - or maybe reading about it you've developed an interest in going back to those days.

Generally spanking comes out for child-like offenses and crimes like breaking things, back talk, watching the tv or computer use after bed time if that's what you've agreed

It need not feature anything other than a open hand but implements may come in such as hair brushes, straps or the cane although that's normally only the most serious of matters.

The more adult, more post adolescent side exists for some and the rules are a different as this can cover thinks such as not being dressed in overtly sissy ways, refusing any agreed to "training" and not deferring to mistresses and masters.

Spanking will always start from your frillies and may be emotionally as well as physically intense as the restrictions that may of applied to children when spanking was common won't be applying to you as the adult sissy.

It isn't uncommon to be spanked more on a whim just to remind you of your diminished adult sissy gurl status with an emphasis on using humiliation to really add to the impact  or the odd sexual act either.

Depending on which side is "out" at the time I can go with either although safe words should you be really uncomfortable are a must.
