Feminine schoolgurl technology

Every modern young person I ever met had some interest in music  whither or not it was just about the look and fashion of the artists, just singing the songs and usually some way of playing our favourite music.

Obviously with changing times, what it is we have changes as some products come to the end of their lives and others replace them and so while I was infatuated at one time with reels of tape, also I was an early adopter of the Japanese craze of the MiniDisc although that technology has come to something of a dead end with the discontinuing of recorders.

I have had personal digital audio players using either downloaded albums or home made copies, not least the Sandisk Clip Zip of which there is a feature on this blog but they didn't quite match the best of my portable MiniDisc machines as modern players are designed more about maximizing running time between charges rather than fitting the best possible  sounding electronics and that still left the question of playing music on them through a regular stereo a bit messy.

Like why would you want to fire up a computer to just play something?

I had considered a number of ways around this over the last year and very recently I obtained what is proving to be the answer.

Enter the Fiio X3

.
It's a digital audio player for sure but it is designed from the ground up to sound really good starting with using the same chip to convert the zeroes and ones of digital to analogue sound  as a £400 separate cd player and a very high quality headphone stage that cures at the outset the problem of not enough of and the failure to reproduce fully, the sound even from iTunes or better quality Mp3 albums.

Then there is the fact it also plays not only regular 16 bit lossless (Flac) downloads and home copied files equalling the full quality of a cd, it plays 24 bit better than cd ones too (192/24 being its limit) and it sounds on headphones better than many separates.

In the UK you can by cd and better than cd  quality downloads from Presto who do Classical music and 7Digital as well as the French Qobuz company for much else like Rock.

Compared with the ClipZip, the display has much better resolution, nearer a cellphones and isn't as restricted to the maximum number of pixels as that player is when it comes to artwork.

It has 8GB of internal memory but you can use upto 128GB micro sdhc cards too that might be pre-assembled by genre just like I did for the Clip Zip and its cards worked straight off the bat on it.

The kicker though is it for once has a proper line level output just like a cd player rather than relying on a crummy headphone stage with it's built in restrictions, so armed with lossless files it sounds equal to or actually better than a dedicated cd player.

Throw in the ability to play from a charger while charging and you too can be listening in really high quality to all those files while being portable enough to carry around with you.

Finally I have that not just can equal but now surpasses my MiniDiscs!

Resuming your place

Part and parcel of this life is getting back to your position within it as anyone could wear a collection of clothes such as a uniform but unless anything else changed you would just be a man in a school uniform and believe me I wouldn't want to spend time drinking and having adult conversations with men in school uniforms!

No, the Little Feminine Sissy Gurl within has to be out running you while you are in that Uniform in order for to be an actual Little in natural spontaneous fashion rather than just following some script so in my case I'm running with a ten year olds head. 

That also includes your social position so as I have been doing, you learn to sit on the floor letting adults take the sofa or chair unless they offer you a seat because you are valued but beneath them when it comes to the pecking order.

You make way and give way to them and in exchange they take care of you.

Pinafore dress patterns

Hi, Hi peoples after a few days with a really bad migraine, I suppose you can say expect the unexpected cos I'm feeling very little at the minute with a few chunks of memory temporarily M.I.A. after that.
But anyway I felt like posting a little about dresses (gasp!).

Starting with this set of dress patterns from May 1950 looking a Mother and Daughter dresses and especially the aprons.

Third from the left just feels so me had I'd of been around back then.

 Most of these patterns are from the late 50's and the 60's and starting from the above while all are really nice, two stick out as potentially me rolled back to the age, the bottom left plaid one and especially the lower middle one in blue with the red ribbon.

I'm not really into 'fussy' designs that probably has something to do with finding dressing at times difficult by myself.

 From the second picture top right panel, that blue dress with the bow looks more the kind of thing I could worn at a party, Alice style as there's just about enough 'pouf' in the skirt to make a pleasant change from school dresses.

 This next set is from 1964 and I think it's the blue one with the detail on the bodice and again I like how the skirt hangs on it.

 Same era and it could be either although I suspect the blue check just edges in with a classic cut preferring an A line to a tube shape.

Fast forward to 1969, and it's the one on the left, bring out the white tights and the ribbon and I'd be in seventh heaven apart from feeling definitely little. And little I am!

And there with have it with aid of missing bits of memory to cut out any internal fighting, I, do admit to being a boy who loves pretty frilly dresses.

Darn it the secret's out!

Is there gonna be  a cry of "Can you please sow my button back on please?" next.

Going into the New Year from the past

 Last year was significant for spending more time with crowd of people who are into age regression which isn't exactly what I am - I have little adult homebase to regress out of as much as I'm always in a more child-like spot all of the time - but it's a space I can use just to let that side of me out.

It's also a group that is okay with me being a feminine boy so I can wear skirts and dresses around them and it doesn't phaze them even though they are more Little Girl than Feminine LSG.

It's also the case I experimented with colours I'd not normally go with such as baby pink which tends to have certain associations even if a more dusty pink might of been more me when I'm more for running with feeling overtly feminine.

That's what it's all about for this sissy gurl.

Rather like the last post in its own way this going to the past is both a spot to just be my more child-like self and a second chance to have better new experiences as that child and to be learn to be better behaved by having the chastisements of that time restored.

Here's to 2015!

Christmas 2014

It is a few days past it as unlike last year the publishing schedule didn't align with Christmas day so I'm doing the entry today in my red sweatshirt, grey pleated skirt with matching grey socks with a pussy bow on them.

The first thing to say is Christmas for me is first and foremost a littles affair, practically a children's one starting with the great anticipation, the week before and building up on Christmas Eve where I sat with Mommy watching the Carols from King's concert on tv in one of my Pinafore Dresses before eating.

I was wake around Half past  Six Christmas Day with anticipation about which list of Santa's  I was one, hoping it wasn't the naughty one, getting washed and dressed  to comedown stairs (in our family you absolutely never come down stairs without being properly dressed, ever) before getting my breakfast.

It wasn't long before the sacks were found so with breakfast things away and washed up, I started on opening my present sacks neatly.

There were a number of Annuals, those perennials from my childhood where you got a softback book featuring cartoon strips from your favourite comics, extra features, quizzes  and games.

As the initiated know, I do read this comic a lot loving the adventures of Minnie The Minx, Dennis The Menace and the Bash Street Kids so here's this years annual.

A comic I used to love as a boy but has folded from weekly publishing was the Dandy with Korky the Cat and Desperate Dan of Cow Pie fame but they do specials such as this years annual so I was mighty glad to get that one.

 An author of books I love to read is Jacqueline Wilson and every year there's an annual out about her, the many stories she's written featuring Tracy Beaker (a heroine of mine) with tips on writing and drawing. I also got the Hello Kitty annual with stories and pictures you can colour.

Talking Kitty, I got a note pad and pencil from my Brother and partner who understand my feminine boy side which was pleasant surprise.
But the biggest surprise was yet to come.

Yes, my parents actually surpassed themselves and bought me this Grafix Build your own Teddy Bear kit that you stuff, sow the back and badge onto and fill out the Birth Certificate for!

I mean, you couldn't get so little with me me if you tried as this suitable for anyone over the age of five  bear you can carry around with you hugging after completion.

After going out for lunch, I got changed into a Tartan skirt coming down the stairs in the late afternoon watching tv for a bit before we had a light evening meal as I was feeling a bit full.

A Christmas where I could be open about my feminine side was just great.

Christmas pause

Just a few more posts to go before the end of year and as I'm slowly getting there, here's something for all of you.

Christmas here is a bit busy with visiting Aunts with cards and presents, running errands for Mummy, putting the finishing touches to my presents for others and so on so I take a pause this time of year from long form blogging.

This year seeing how Christmas slots in with the schedule, the Christmas edition will be after boxing day so until then bye for now.

Regards Tammy, the little sissy gurl

The Brownie Annual

It's rare for me to post much about "the other half" of the Scouting Movement for a host of reasons such as having very little to do with in any capacity but as you would expect their are parallels.

Rather like Wolf Cubs/Cubs, until more recent times there were annuals published that any Brownie would expect to get with the bindings being made easier to printed over time.

The start point of any annual is having an eye catching illustration for the front as this isn't an instruction manual and typically a Brownie annual would show brownies in uniform undertaking some task.

The back of this one features the faces of some, a number of which contributed to the contents.

This one is the 1962 edition and as was usual at the time has a formal introduction from the World Chief Guide addressed to the individual Brownie welcoming them to the publication which is official.

Here we have a contents page which is well indexed by makes, things of interest, about Brownie life such as pack holidays and the like.

Because rather like Cubs, you might of joined but not done everything yet, you'd have things about what you may get to do such as a pack holiday complete with pictures which are printed on glossy paper.

Very much with the whole Pixies and Elfs and so on, concept running in Brownies, there's a section with rhymes about them a brownie would no doubt love.

Something I don't think the Girl Guides Association then would of been unaware of is a copy about perhaps belonging to a friend or sister of another girl would act as a shop window to them to join up too, sharing the fun.

Annuals in general seem an endangered species, always out of date at the time of printing, lacking the interactivity some crave today and yet I know the Comic annual is still a popular thing as are tv and movie tie ins.

As children still love physical gifts they can treasure perhaps annuals connected with scouting can comeback.
