Move forward as you even in winter

It's a cold start to the week here not least for temperatures being minus 4 degrees c here as I sit typing this  so I thought we'd start with something rather more basic this week as eclectic as this blog is.

That moment we suddenly realize we are different than our peers whither or not it happened at some stage in your childhood or later on in life such as at college or university is life changing but often we feel lost, unsure of how now to proceed.

Being so used to an idea about how we'd just get up one morning and dress to spend that day counted as a male, there is that hesitancy as you go to pick up those boxers and to start pulling up your trousers you never experienced before that epiphany.


For me, the honest answer is I had not when as a child I realized really I was more of a gurl but went to try skirts on and found it just felt fantastic and that question needs answering I feel for most sissies.

We need to say from that moment we realize we are no longer men or boys onwards we will commit to exploring who we are and seriously explore not just in furtive few minutes but for hours at a time wearing a dress or skirt and our underwear.

 

You need to throw out those boxers and get into panties even on those days you may for now at least have to go out in men's trousers, exploring which cuts and fabric you prefer.

On a cold day like today where you'd be an idiot to wear a thin floaty skirt on the streets you can wear a pretty pair of panties under fleecy trousers and a bra too under a top and sweater and add some girlie thick long socks, perhaps with a pretty motif.

Just go ahead and declare you inner femininity as a sissy even where the short pretty dresses and skirts aren't the best choices for the weather and keep all else feminine as that'll give you that feeling you have started to move on, your world is now different.

As much as I love and you love the skirted look, we can take a leaf out of girls books and wear whatever best suits our needs and still keep who we are.

It's simply that where we can, skirts and dresses are so much more fun, more liberating even.

YOU ARE A SISSY IN ALL WEATHERS

Biddy Baxter: The Woman Who Made Blue Peter

Hello there Boys and Girls!

Christmas is over as the tree has been taken down together with the nativity scene and the cards as we've passed the twelve days of Christmas getting set for the New Year but somethings don't always just go and that applies to this.

I sometimes sound rather like a stuck record but the one tv show that for my whole life has towered over others is the Children's BBC magazine show Blue Peter currently in its sixty-fifth year so not surprisingly there are things connected with the show I've had over the years such as my original books (many call them annuals but that was never the original term) from Book 4 published in 1967 to the early 1990's my regular and Gold Badge, a number of special assignments series books to books about the program some of which I have written about.

For Christmas I had "The Woman That Made Blue Peter: Biddy Baxter" written by Richard Marston  who work on the show as well as a number of other BBC Children's shows who interviewed past presenters, people in the various BBC units she worked with apart from herself fo this biography.

From 1962 to the Summer of 1988, Biddy was the editor of the show that came in in the very early days and set the tone of the show not just while she was in charge but for subsequent producers when it came to relentless dedication to making the best possible program, never talking down to children covering historical events, popular science, arts, adventure and lost of makes showcasing creativity.

This book is very much about how she got to be that person and looks into how the show was put together such as differert sorts of people who worked in the studio and behind the scenes, the way the BBC worked internally as they affected the show.

It tells of her childhood and education in Leicestershire in the East Midlands.

These tended to include battles for studio room, budgets, internal reorganizations, technical staff and some of the on set issues given as brilliant as Biddy was, she wasn't terribly tactful driven by her desire to make the best show come what may.

I found it a very interesting book, knowing of good number of the presenters from that period and some of the BBC  key people running things in that era, showing just how she made that show a must see children's show even when faced from ITV's very  me too Magpie competition for twelve years.

What she achieved enabled the show to continue without a break, adjusting a little as times changed  but remaining what she set it out to be.

The last few weeks on the show have been reviews of Twenty-twenty three on the show looking at challenges, visits to places, competitions such as the Dr Who one and guests.

In the more modern era interactivity has been extended to include an online fan club with games, extra bits of programming and the BP V.I.P.  scheme where people apply stating why they wish to go behind the scenes and meet their heroes.

They then spend a day with them which is filmed and televised within one weeks show.

New Year thoughts 2024

It's 2024 so normally we'd write a review of the year which would be focused more on things I've done and things that interested me but last year was so different for losing my mother that much of the time was taken up with dealing with the requirements and rituals from that that slotting much else in was hard going.

There are ways of coping with complex emotions but for me all of this started with the shocking discovery I was questioning everybody's idea that I was a male except I wasn't very masculine and so I began to explore being feminine instead.

Being in a household with only brothers and a daddy was restricting so inevitably I took to dressing in mummy's clothes or any girls clothes in jumble collection and it wasn't that I didn't just like what I saw in the mirror, I liked the feeling of being that Sissy.

Tammy got born.

In time and several battles later I was being openly sissy in her presence - you could hardly avoid it as she washed your frillies with love - and so I began exploring again different elements of how Tammy the sissy presented  such as a mini kilt-skirted in matching hose me.

I came out to daddy as a sissy gurl.

There has always been a part in this - a major part that is more  around being a little sissy dressed more akin to a 8-14 year old girl often in more traditional school uniform and sometimes in more uber feminine party frocks, blouses and skirts


For some people it's just a hugely enjoyable role playing thing but in reality in many respects I'm not very adult all the time for medical and psychological reasons and if you had me cornered, squirming, you'd soon reveal being an adult male WAS a fantasy I sometimes got pushed into believing when locked into all male situations.

As you'd have me affirm I AM a little sissy so I spent more of my time including with friends dressed more as hur getting served in shops. Emotionally, behaviour wise I'm still that kid.

I also wrote a bit around channelling my inner Brownie and Scout going on hikes and exploring cos for me this thing isn't "bedroom" but being that little, the one that loved scouting and would sooner of had the option of being in GirlGuiding doing more those sorts of activities I'd of done back then.

That mixture coupled with reading and playing music is me and that's continuing on into 2024.

I'm proud to be a Little Sissy.

Christmas changed is here

Christmas got made after the messy one of 2022 and this years events that impacted many of the rituals as you notice that missing face, the usual conversation around wrappng, card writing and the like.

So it was different but with some certainties which showed in presents.


Somethings are repeats from original childhood such as the Dandy annual or reprints from classic Beano and Dandy comic strips making perfect sense in the world of this adult sissy gurl

Today's Beano is almost a magazine comic mash up with much in the modern child's world where for some of us including children comics that just humour still cut it so rather than getting this years Beano annual I had the Christmas Special, a good representation of the modern Beano.

We wrote about the cd version of enlarged classic Beatles 1962-1966 compilation but I had from Dad the record version which has the extra tracks on a third disc.


I had this compilation of Erasure a very popular synth pop duo that covers all their hits and is fairly up to date too. 

I bought the singles but never got an album of theirs until this was obtained from Mr Claus on Monday.


It's been absolutely ages since there's been any Moody Blues records here, at least the mid 1980's and this two lp set has some of their best moments in chronological order which will put that aright


Classical music is something I like and as I had been getting some brand new records I was given a copy of this classic 1970 account on vinyl which will replace the record I bought in 1979 which disappeared when much of my classical music collection got replaced by cds.


I tend to forget things so this very vintage Winnie the Pooh A5 dairy will no doubt prove most useful to note visits and things to remember to do

I had some money and vouchers for the New Year which I can spend on some new clothes but while it was difficult emotionally I was glad we had Christmas again.

Christmas be a coming sissy gurl!


 Christmas it must be said can be trying time for the kind of sissy that others don't know or chose not to recognize when it comes from things like not using your "sissy" name, having to spend time with family very drab to getting presents that just aren't what sissies like you really would love.

And yet you love the idea behind Christmas, the spending of time together, exchanging cards and gifts and for those who are more little sissies  like me everything around Santa Claus, singing carols and little girl dresses and presents.

There will be a pause of sorts on this blog as I have things to do just before Christmas Day and that day this year lands upon when normally I'd be finalizing the usual Wednesday post.

*** Have a HAPPY SISSY GURL CHRISTMAS ***

Christmas is coming

After last weeks music post we'll start the countdown toward Christmas as I work the blogging schedule as I'm usually pretty busy but i think it should be two full posts and something on or around Christmas Day.
 At the start of last week, our Christmas tree came which in this age of elf and safety had to planted and wired by people with certificates not sophisticats lest somebody either climb up it or try stealing the bulbs whilst turned on.

The people here have a collection to  pay for the tree which is as well as we do want something like this at Christmas and keeps the lights that have to put on it.
I think every town and estate should have one.


Obviously it isn't going to be the same as Mom's not around anymore as messed up as last Christmas was with both of us very unwell although I have got daddy to bring out the Christmas tree and the Nativity scene Mom and I so looked forward to setting up plus things like the milk and a Turkey have been sorted out.

One of the last things we did together was wave to Santa last year as he came around in his sleigh.

It's just the memories of going around the shops looking for gifts, trying out clothes, seeing Santa Claus on the district shopping centre and walking to visit family and friends with presents and cards that I'll miss.

I was always Mummy's gurl.

Courtney's Clean Caps

It's been a cold snowy weekend so I restored a post conceived in 2012 as it does belong on here.

It’s not gone unnoticed by me that many of you appreciate various kinds of caption sites where images are added to text often around themes by the those irritatingly funny LolCats ones that festoon most of the social networks in their repostings to your wall or for us G+ people the Stream to trans related caption sites.

I greatly admire anyone who can put together a funny storyline with chosen images  well but there is a TG caption site that I really love that is a good fit for what this site is more about and it’s called Courtney’s Clean Captions.

One of the first things you’ll notice at it is the clear unfussy layout that loads up well and the other is she’s into keeping her captions ‘clean’ so were talking G to 13+ on the ratings  so while they may make the odd head subjectwise turn, there’s nothing really graphic going on.

I”m not a prude my any means but I don’t generally enjoy the more graphic – especially visually – sorts with bits on display for little real reason other than titillation so if you’re interested here’s a link.
