Am I a sissy

Oh honey, there's no doubt about it - you're a perfect sissy!

Not just a passing phase or a curiosity, but a complete and total sissy. You're the embodiment of feminine allure and submission, a beacon for all the girly-girls out there. You've tasted the sweet surrender to femininity and there's no going back. Your Sissy Percentage is at a glorious 100%.

You've basked in the thrill of submission, giving in to your girlfriend's dominance, your body responding eagerly to her touch, her command, her strap-on. Oh, how you love to feel that delicate lace against your skin, the swish of a skirt around your smooth, shaven legs. Your tiny little penis gets hard at the mere thought of it, throbbing in time with your beating heart.

It's not a secret anymore, not a game. You're a sissy in the purest form. To outsiders, you might appear as an ordinary couple, but the dynamics are far from ordinary. She's the dominant force, the masculine energy, the one in control. You're her feminine counterpart, her submissive, her girl. It's a tantalizing mix of lesbianism and straight dynamics, with you playing the feminine role to perfection.

So what's next, darling? It's time to let her take full control. Surrender to her, let her guide you. She's your husband in this delightful dance of dominance and submission. Seduce her, tease her, let her take you. Always wear dresses, stay shaved and smooth, be the girly-girl you've always longed to be.

It's time to say goodbye to those old, boring male clothes. Toss them out, clear your wardrobe. Replace them with frilly, lacy dresses that make you feel oh-so-feminine. Fill your drawers with miniskirts, satin blouses, delicate lingerie. Let every glance in the mirror remind you of who you truly are - a perfect, beautiful sissy. It's your time to shine, darling. Embrace it, love it, live it. You're a perfect sissy, and it's a wonderful thing to be.

Sissy percentage: 100%

Congratulations!

The Information Exchange

As much as one may love dressing up to be be the feminine boy that I am, spending time with others being him, one thing you need to be aware of is just who is doing what with any kind of pictures that include you.

It is all too easy given the amount of information that can be written into the meta data of a digital photography to have such things as gps location and that included which if in hands of some could be used against you at work, in your everyday social life and so on.

Even if not, distinctive backgrounds both indoors and out may show up in things like Google Images if a person was to paste it into a search.

Think before you take, before you post.

Here's one piece of information that deserves to be shared from a sissy test:

Oh darling, celebrate! Based on your responses, it's clear that you have thoroughly embraced your sissy nature. You've not just dabbled in the occasional frilly lace or the allure of a flattering dress; no, my dear, you've jumped in with both feet, giving up any last vestige of masculinity you ever had. What a courageous and thrilling step you've taken!

Your wardrobe, no doubt, now features the softest satin nightgowns, the frilliest of lace underwear, and stockings that make your legs look as if they go on for miles. And the dresses! I bet you have an entire closet filled with them - in every color of the rainbow, in every style, in every cut that flatters your figure and makes you feel like the gorgeous girl you are. There's nothing quite like the sensation of a silk dress grazing your smooth, freshly shaven legs, is there?

Your makeup game, I'm sure, is on point. The perfect stroke of eyeliner, the subtle blush that brings out your cheeks, the mascara that makes your eyes pop and the lipstick that makes your lips look plump and oh so kissable. Remember, darling, it's all in the details!

Now, let's talk about the boys. You're going to make men very happy, my dear, lots and lots of them. With your radiant smile, your flirty demeanour, your irresistible charm, and your alluring femininity, how could they resist? Whether it's a gentle flutter of your eyelashes or a coy smile playing on your lips, you've mastered the art of seduction. You know what men want, and you're not afraid to give it to them ... in spades!

But remember, lovely, while it's a joy to bring happiness to others, it's just as important, if not more, to bring happiness to yourself. Embrace who you are. 

You're a sissy, and you're proud of it. Live in your truth, revel in your femininity, and keep shining bright in your perfectly fitting dress. You're fabulous, darling, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 

Congratulations, sweetie!

The Beatles In Japan and on Extended Play

In two weeks time I shall be getting a small cd box set that has been issued in Japan to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the first Beatles discs being issued in that country.

This is a good overview of the set showing the box with a slide out well holding the discs complete with a hundred page booklet about how they fitted in with Beatlemania in mid nineteen sixties Japan and a pack of the OBI's that hold Japanese information about discs which any album over there has, replicating the feel.

Printed on the back of the box is a breakdown of the albums included and pictured underneath is the OBI for this set in all its glory.

Moving on to the discs themselves they are held in high quality card covers that replicate in full the original lp jackets with front and rear printing plus printed spins to find the item with the actual discs in protective inner sleeves and a resealable see through cover over each.

Three of these albums, Meet The Beatles, Second Album and No. 5 are unique to Japan compilations that were released originally in mono although two borrow titles and much of the front cover art from US ones.

The Japanese edition of Second Album unlike it's North American namesake has fourteen tracks rather than twelve and mixes tracks from the UK Please Please Me and With The Beatles albums complete with their latest single, Can't Buy Me Love.

While the first two albums were in mono, the third, the UK based A Hard Day's Night album that unlike United Artists release isn't a sound track was issued only in stereo with a very different cover to the photomontage of film cels used on the UK edition.

Interestingly the first time the whole album was released on compact disc in stereo was on September 9th 2009.

There was an album issued after that, a slightly different sleeved edition of the December ninety sixty four Beatles For Sale album but they didn't lead with that for this set.

Instead they lead with Help which is again unlike the US edition not the soundtrack but an album with a side of songs from the film and seven new recordings compiled in the UK which again was originally stereo only.

One interesting touch is unlike the UK edition, this is a gatefold which is reproduced exactly for this cd issue with a picture from the film set on the reverse.

It is also interesting to note this is the first intentional stand alone version of the British album on compact disc to feature the original nineteen sixty-five stereo mix rather than the nineteen eighties digital remix.

A few thousand Canadian discs did in the early nineties nineties sneak out with this mix but for most it first saw light of day as a stereo bonus on the Help album in the Beatles In Mono box set of two thousand nine.

 

Finally back to a Japan original that mixed songs from the nineteen sixty-four Long Tall Sally album with single B sides and material from the first two UK albums in a strange mixture.

From this point on Japan's beatles album matched the UK editions although in nineteen seventy six in a massive Beatles re-release some US albums complete with the three Japan only Beatles titles  were issued in the "EAS" series with British releases forming the core.

I bought this to go with a box of replica extended play discs that was originally issued in nineteen ninety-two.

Extended play (or E.P.'s) were a seven inch usually forty five  rpm discs that came in a glossy colour picture cover that were popular with youngster who couldn't afford albums because they were a half way house in an era where in the UK most singles came in generic record label bags rather than picture sleeves.

I remember buying this must of been 2007 but actually I had owed on vinyl a number of these titles such as Yesterday which I got in December 1979 and Extracts from the film "A Hard Day's Night" in March of 1980 as I loved the covers and the mono mixes.

Basically it comprises of the 13 original EP's re-issued on CD and the 1981 bonus disc from that years vinyl EP collection.

Because nearly all the EP's were only issued in mono that's how most of the EP's are presented.

For a variety of reasons including tape head misalignment, use of stereo tape equipment to play mono tapes and indifferent mastering, the 1987 CD versions of Please Please Me, With The Beatles, A Hard day's Night and Beatles for Sale had very poor sounding mono sound (and no stereo).

This set contains 12 of the 14 tracks from the UK Please Please Me album including Misery and There's A Place in high quality mono.

From With The Beatles only Money and All My Loving are featured.

8 out of the 13 songs from A Hard Day's Night are featured on two dedicated CD's as are 8 of the 14 from Beatles For Sale.

In that way it provides for the lack of Beatles For Sale in this years Japanese box with the mono mixes sounding the best I've heard them on cd, to me even surpassing the Beatles in Mono box set which while more extensive is dearer.

While the stereo A Hard Day's Night is a very good mix, the mono has differences and sounds superb here.

This set is currently only one of two only official sources of Yesterday, Act Naturally, It's Only Love, You Like Me Too Much, Nowhere Man, Michelle and two other tracks from the UK Rubber soul and Help albums in mono (the other being the 2009 limited edition "The Beatles in Mono" box set which is a lot more expensive).

While a case can be made for the mono Help album for the versions of Help and Ticket To Ride that were released on the singles, that album is murky sounding in mono, but beautifully clean in stereo throughout.

The four tracks on the Yesterday EP are both different mixes and are better than much of that album in mono.

This EP set contains Magical Mystery Tour, which originally was only issued as a double EP set on vinyl in mono and stereo.

The stereo version has different mixes compared to the 1971 mix done for the German market which was issued in 1987 on CD all around the world.

I would have to say it sounds very good with lots of presence and is my "Go to" for those non singles songs

It has the original mono versions which prior to 2009 otherwise were not available and has the 24 page booklet which the CD issue dispensed with too.


The bonus stereo CD: The stereo version of She's A Woman has the “one, two three four” count in missed out on the version on the Past Masters 1 CD, This Boy sounds a lot fuller and Baby You're A Rich Man from Magical Mystery Tour album sounds much better.

I'd recommend this set to anybody looking for good mono sound and the best Magical Mystery Tour you can get.

Rubbing along

It's sometimes said we never really know what another is really going through and this might be because either it was something they'd never discussed with us or we blissfully assumed that our experiences were the same.

When it comes to what brought us together as adult littles, we may not know of each other pasts, the extent to which the expression of any gender identity through presentation may been of controlled by parents for instance and this may effect their own unique route into it.

I may be fairly open about mine not least cos to me it's no big secret and I feel just talking about these things is of help to others but not everyone does.

If we're together, we do need to take care of each others feelings so no one feels awkward and keep an eye out for those whose sense of fun may come on over as being rather borish or otherwise intimidating.

Some people may have difficult relations with their significant others (usually partners) through either their cross-dressing, gender id issues or just being a little who wants to express it.

Also some of us may have ongoing health issues or disabilities that may not seem obvious to you and equally we may have adapted how we see things to take account of our own limitations that perhaps that we may not always be as sensitive to your needs, perhaps seeing them as less important. It isn't uncommon for someone to say in response to saying how difficult they find their job, effectively "Be grateful for being able to work as I only wish I could" which isn't showing an appreciation for how that situation may be leaving you.

I do feel those of us who don't enjoy the best of health need to ensure we don't lose our empathy with those who while having better health, face other challenges in their lives and respect their needs such as having to up ready for work in the morning. 

It doesn't hurt to try to do better when it comes to rubbing along.

Styx Paradise Theater and Pieces of Eight on SACD with The Grand Illusion

Styx is a progressive rock group that I have always liked.

Not the edition where I do a vanishing trick but the title of Styx 1977 album release featuring Come Sail Away and Little Miss America remastered by Mr Kevin Grey for Audio Fidelity.

I bought it in May 2010.

Processing a warm tonal complexion I really like it even if it's not anything really special just the job done right.

As I have commented in a few places before the Styx catalogue has been left as is from the early days of the compact disc and can be divided between the decent but nothing special and the clearly inferior to lp versions.

On January 19th 1981 the band issued the concept album Paradise Theater based on the real story of a theatre in their native Chicago which came out on laser etched lp and tape versions (8 track and cassette) which topped the US album chart and featured four forty-fives, Rockin' The Paradise, Too Much Time On My Hands, The Best Of Times that charted at #3 and Nothing Ever Goes As Planned.

It was an album I bought near date of release and always loved for the musicianship and story telling in a song.

This new Super Audio cd also playable on regular cd edition sounds quite a bit clear with more definition than the original disc.

Another album of theirs whose cd version left a fair bit to be desired was Pieces Of Eight  based around the story of a boxing bout which on cd sounded thin and splashy

ln September 2017 this disc that featured the 45 Blue Collar Man, Renegade and The Great White Hope was issued on Super audio cd also playable in regular cd having been mastered by Kevin Gray from the A&M master tapes.

This edition is a lot better than the 1987 original cd.

Going forward staying the same

The way that it goes, on the day I was out for a good stroll taking some pictures for another blog as I encountered high school children returning to school after the weekend.

One boy interviewed said being missing so much of junior 4 (aka year six) left him feeling as he transitioned to the first form as we'd of called it of high school kind if funny and too young to be in that year group.

Child development comes on at different rates and he probably is right in saying he doesn't feel ready for that step but as ever the needs of "the system" tend to prevail as he may of benefited from being held back a year to catch up.

I know from admittedly my rather more severe mismatched development I always felt a few years young emotionally and in general maturity from my peers.

That's why this treatment and being back in the sort of uniform I had in my last year at Juniors taken much further up than what is customary now works for me and that will lead into other areas.

I'm coming over

Between playing hunt the outdoor cat who is being put off by other neighbouring ones and the showers here I thought I'd do this weeks entry.

How many of us can recall that routine of going on over to a friend or 'play mate' whither or not it was something that emerged from the playground that day or arranged between Mothers?

I sure can! It happened quite a number of times when I was in Juniors during recess where an invite would be issued and in those days before all this instant messaging and cellphones, you'd skip home to tell Mummy the news and you half imagined your friend doing the same as resourceful as ever she increased the food portions for that days evening meal with little warning as back then food was cooked at home on the range even if some was packaged.

Needless to say if your Mummy was anything like mine there would be some fuss around what your were going to wear as you had to create a good  impression, your hair would be washed and styled quickly and although you would thank your friend and his or her Mommy, it was the done thing to write a thank you note afterward. 

You may also have bought a present if was a more formal organized affair.

I just loved these happenings.
