Another Quick One

Managed to get in a very brief dressing session. Interupted half way through by guy from Amazon, it was 7 pm by now. Got out of lycra dress, wig, bra, breastforms and heels, put on boy stuff Sadly my feet showed my tights still on. Oh dear. Not a big deal, this has happened several times on holiday but not at home. No makeup or attempt to take pics. Fell calmer, definatly. Wore glasses seemed to go well with wig. The lycra PVC catsuit well, still looked slightly fat bit not too bad. Do need to sort out new wig, as ever voice too.
Need a proper session, makeup, pics, perhaps even some new clothes.  There should be at least a day in mid May, so that will help.  Lots of stuff about where we are going and starting hormones,again, again.
looking oler and really womdering where its all going if anywhere. Been saying things need to change but not sure however how this might happen.
The pilates has made a difference and do believe the stomach, and possibly the legs do look better.  I have a hope that I can take some South Downs bikini shots this year and they will look better. Hopefully new pics will look better, currently the waist is letting m down, there may be a time where it becomes necessary to accept a look as the best I am going toget or am prepared to work towards.

Quick fix

Well managed a quick dressing session today, quick being the operative word.  No contact lenses or makeup and not for long but even so it was a relative success, feel better.  I am at still 11st 11 lb which does not seem so bad, did some pilates this morning which is helping. The legs appear to be very muscular in heels not to bad. Missing MYBuyBox several things would like to buy! Like to try a burlesque strip, seen a couple of possible tutorial vids and have a look in my head. Then again the voice has hardly advanced in several years.
No reply from the mag which said tbey wanted to publish some pics. Not especially surprised, hope they do get published, vain tart I am. In the middle of May should get a 100% totally deffo chance to dress and take pics. The problem now is that have no new looks to do.
Been a couple of thoughts about trying the hormones again, not seriously but even so. The weather is more sunny so bit more "frisky"hormones would stop that, which would be good. Need to get body in shape for holidays as do have a few ideas for pics outdoors! This would require a new camera which would cost money and that is an issue at the moment.
Wondering about Summer 2015. Ideally spend some time in London and Manchester but also Trans Pride Brighton. Difficult from a logistic and financial position I realise. Just cannot really see having the money. Like to do Pink Punters but also Canal street on a saturday but how?  Brighton and London are easy enough but London to Manchester is a long journey.  Possibly Manchester and Liverpool in Oct/Nov and Brighton/London in the summer.  Last year the Pride event was very little to do with Trans, granted they were the week before.
Its 3 months away which gives me time to save some money!

Clothes Maketh The Woman

If you were to look at my Flickr stream you would see a lot of me , in several senses, in lingerie. This is OK as the pics are OK but not what I had hoped for. Ideally I would be wearing expensive suites and some such, lovely dresses and evening gowns, there would also be pics of me in clubs and restaurants. This is not my life as Sapphire.  Most of the time it is snatched evenings in leggings and a sweater but probably no makeup or afternoons taking pics. With a bit of  luck 3 times a year I get out and about. February and November are cold, August is, hopefully hot so more skin can be shown. Yet the pics tend to show leggings, flat shoes, a long tshirt I suppose it is and the cagoule and sweater. This I prefer to believe works and I sort of blend in. I could wear a skirt but long legs would perhaps be too obvious or, I wish, attract the wrong type of attention until they realise what they are looking at. There have been several occasions where it is entirely possible I have had several approving comments, ignoring feminist pleadings.
Would like a coat, ideally trench coat, that feels right somehow. There is a concern about flat shoes making my feet look too long but heels make me look even larger and even even taller. Brighton had a Long Tall Sally but its not there now. York would be closest.Did pop in a couple of times but nothing was both cheap enough and nice enough. Did half hope to get a girly parka last, hopefully, winter.
