Now Yearbook 1974

 

After an excursion into the 90's, we return with this fantastic series of year based compilations right back in the decade I enjoyed as a young child and to where music formed a backdrop to much of that life which we played and discussed.

1974 remains a strong memory with me for the sheer chaos of the adult world as things spired out of control with terrorist bombings, often bitter industrial strife as the economy moved towards tanking.

That played out in shortages and comics going up in price.

Music as a ten year old was something you took a good deal of interest in, listening on Radio One to new chart hits, following stories in the newspapers about your idols, watching them on Crackerjack, Supersonic or Top Of The Pops so this 82 track four cd set with notes on every song is just fantastic for reliving the sounds of that time.

1974 had variety from soul coming from Motown, Philadelphia International and other labels notitably including Sad Sweet Dreamer, the first philly inspired British soul number 1 and the marvellous When Will I See You Again by the Three Degrees.

If like me that was your bag you probably had Motown Chartbusters 9 that year which was a great compilation of soul and funk.

Glam rock was all around is from Slade, Arrows, Suzi Quatro in all her leatherness joined in leatherness by Alvin Stardust, Mud with the great Tiger Feet and heartfelt Lonely This Christmas.

The Rubettes added a Doo Wop twist to it, crossing over with Rock And Roll revival in the form of Showaddywaddy and Queen for period looked as they'd be in too.

Sadly there is no Glitter Band who had three hit singles nor as with 1973 nor any Gary Glitter who was very much a part of 1974 whatever we rightly feel regarding him today.

Pop included to this bloggers delight the Bay City Rollers who, having just crept into the top 30 in November 1973 managed four top ten hits including Shang-A-Lang, Sweet Dreams cover of Honey Honey although there is no Abba, Elton John, Terry Jacks with Seasons in the Sun and Lulu with The Man Who Sold The World plus Pilot with Magic.

Rock included Ace, Wings with two hits from the great Band On The Run album,Cozy Powell's brilliant drum track Dance With The Devil and Sparks.

Country was held up with Charlie Rich which I did like.

Come June the fifth the now legendary Extras volume came in its low rent flip out tri fold card cover and the discs are best lined to avoid scratches.

Still we have Peters and Lee, an often forgotten couple, the unforgettable Remember You're A Womble, a couple more Bay City Rollers hits and a great serving of excellent soul music that I loved at the time.

It was a great year, this is a great compilation, just a pity we've no Osmonds otherwise it would be perfect.

Looking after you

Well this is being typed up this extended May Bank Holiday and so as my appearance does matter I thought I'd type something to do with presenting a great image of yourself to the outside world having just checked over SK.

When it comes to your face there are a number of products you can apply when it comes to doing your make up although I think must of us would benefit from class or two on how to get done down to minutes just like older girls and women do who haven't half an hour or more to spend on it.

A dominate female making you up could just be the ticket , a "mummy dominant", a mistress any would do especially if they're reminding you just what made you the sissy you are while they're doing it.

Whatever your own circumstances might be, using moisturizer is a must for keeping your skin hydrated and baby bottom smooth as winter plays havoc with my skin otherwise soon getting dry and flaky.

Seeing it was a bank holiday I was tidying up where upon I came by an unopened package from March 2022 which I think was the tail end of a period of being very unwell and where it and a few other things had been unceremonious dumped.

It contained four pairs of these panties in baby pink and a few socks.

I thought last year I'd seen the last of the unopened stuff but seemingly there was more of it littering up the place.

Perhaps this sissy needs a good spanking for not getting on top of all this?

The Summer gurl

Not quite a follow up to last weeks post but more along the same lines, the little side of sissy comes from the child-like rooted in your childhood experiences, the things you did and they things you wished you could of but didn't do.

Take comics for instances, they were a staple not just of our own reading but part of our social currency as you talked about them sharing them except of course as assigned as male sissies generally we were never bought the ones we wanted and had to be careful over how we did get to read them such as sisters or "hidden" contacts with girls who twigged we weren't like the boys they knew.

The introduction page bypassing the one where "Presented to" would be inscribed, Just image it with Tammy  there!

Now onto the sort of featured story we'd really like of our girl friends, time spent together and adventures rather than war and gang stuff.

We all knew a Bessie Bunter.

Cos we're gurls of kind Summer means something special to us, like showing, more of our natural beauty off so we buy new clothes for the season.

That's a nice Fruit of the Loom pink jersey polo top that just looks the part.

Then there's a lovely sweatshirt with ribbed cuffs and waist also in dusty pink.

Teamed with a nice pleated skirt like this would be just the thing for the modern sissy gurl with with either knee socks or tights.

The Integrated Brownie Pt. 2

After last weeks post we return to an element of being an adult little gurl which is your interests and for me it's always been scouting and one difficulty in assembling a uniform is that quite simply unless you are looking at replica uniforms as worn from the 1950's to the 1990's and the Jeff Banks inspired uniform reboot coming in simply you won't fit in the official one today.

This you really need to reimagine a modern take one what a Brownie Uniform can be using tried and tested uniform colours.

The current uniform is very Hoodie Sweatshirt heavy, brown with yellow branding but you can take a leaf from current co-ed cubs and have a green jersey/sweatshirt you can badge up, very up to you if you want to attempt a brownie logo on the bottom like the Cubs one does.

Traditionally with the modern brownie uniform you have a sash you apply your badges to but you might as well take a leap out the co-ed cubs and place them on the Jumper

A bigger problem is the yellow polo shirt in brownies only goes up to 36 inch and is short in body with the Brownie Branding arranged in a semi circle on it but I use a regular schoolwear polo shirt that you can get in adult sizing that fulfils the function.

I don't see any mileage in adding a separate gold or yellow t shirt.

That teamed with the brown skirt does make for a suitable uniform, modern but using traditional colours and easy to put together, sufficiently feminine for gurls like us.

That look isn't far remove from the early 1990's yellow top and brown cullottes option as shown in the 1991 Brownies Handbook that I have just we're introducing a brown skirt instead.

You could change the colours to blue for a similar take on Guides.

Mummy Dominants in the Sissy Gurl world

It's a new week so I thought I'd look at an aspect of sissiness

There are a lot of ways people end up down this rabbit hole and for what it is worth I don't believe anyone can *make you* but certain contexts do push buttons that let out what actually is already in you.

A common situation that may be a fantasy, a thing possibly connected with your childhood experiences as a sissy or for some lucky ones, the reality is having a parent like figure with a dominant streak, not by any means full on bdsm.

That is as broad as it is long, not every aspect might be you but she's more a authoritarian parent figure to which you might add wants to dress you as pretty feminine gurl which it so happens, deep down you wish to be.

You may as I was for a period a bit off the rails when it came to attitudes and behaviours needing a bit of old school parenting, it may that actually you find it a whole lot more comfortable when someone else has the final say and calls most of the shots.

Let's get this straight: In your minds eye you are that child, that little sissy gurl, nobody is suggesting you ever place an actual child in a kink related space but somethings within that do come from the parental angle such as having the last say in any matter be it bedtimes or what you're wearing.

They express verbally and by body language their disapproval.

That as a little adult sissy gurl you're looking for.

You can't dodge or otherwise fudge this one but while not everyone is into spanking which is their right, it's often very much in the mix and for some of us was part of childhood experiences

She may introduce you to some more girlish fun you never did before like ballet dancing, things like flower decoration or life lessons you missed like deportment to carry yourself better.

Positive encouragement and setting a  program to explore who you really are after years of denial, ridicule and masking it can be a great role for the Mummy Dominant figure to teach you to let it all out which is more satisfying after all for you.

The only thing you need to do is take part in any exploratory conversations with her and allow her to pursue that with you

Being made up and learning to do your own make up can be part of this too from cute little sissy gurl to being a more grown up sissy gurl about town.

That really is the aim of it although the pronouns are wrong, and spending time with a dominant mummy figure should leave you more like this.

Post Easter Party post

While I'm coming down from the littles Easter Party, here's a classic easter tale

A sissy easter is great thing.

Easter time

Okay it is a couple of days after Easter Monday although yesterday I was having issues with bigger old windows that corrupted the usual browser to the point it had to be totally reinstalled eating up time and paw movement.

Computers just seem to be like that but anyway it's the time of year to be dressed in a pretty frilly dress as that little sissy gurl ready to enjoy all that easter has to offer.

I want that costume!

You may be off on an Egg Hunt, all being well I should be on a belated one next week, armed with your basket gently skipping as you look for your eggs which no doubt have been well hidden.

There's an Egg for consumption here, white cos I prefer white chocolate as it doesn't trouble my head as much compared to diary or especially dark which tends to last days on end.

Sissikins enjoyed easter for being hur frilled up sissy self.
