Fashion Musings

Cute need not be all frills or dresses whatever you might see at various places or be told and particularly in littles circles either as actual bio-kid girls aren't and don't.
Take these jeans for example. Denim for instance is usually seen more 'boyish' material no doubt for being made into the jeans that boys and men in the frontierlands worked in for its hard wearing qualities.
But actually these are so cute that they go even a little beyond even tomboyish sorts like me with the ever popular and uber cool Hello Kitty motifs especially as show they are teamed up  with matching cute over the shoulder bag.
There's no denying it's...feminine.

Cut out fun

This is what I loved doing back in the 1970's, cutting clothes to dress the girl in.

New year, new blog

I say, just like in the story of Cinderella a stage coach has just pulled outside my house to whisk me away for the message the Mice have bought is this year is to be my year, the year I come out and it starts today, New Years Day.
My adventures start from today and I'll be writing about them on this new blog which is something after last years events I've been thinking of.
Will you be following me?

Pre blog IIII - Christmas reflections

It's Christmas and I am sat next to this rather old computer my brother assembled a few years back as he gets through PC's like some folk get through cars - he has to update them every 12 months or so - while I keep them until they drop pieces on me.
It's hard to believe my Nan has been dead for just over a year and this time of year is difficult as Christmas for me always meant having family around, talking and playing with you as well as obviously sharing food so it all comes back to me.
This year though although I've had some more groan up things like an organizer, it's really been the small gifts like toy bears and cute socks I've really enjoyed and that makes sense to me because what makes me feel secure.

Although it came out in the summer I got the re-issued cd version of  Jeff Wayne's Musical War of the World that originally came out when I was at school in 1978 and featured the hit song Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward.
It was cross between an audio adaptation with Richard Burton narrating the H G Wells novel but with a disco orchestrated musical background with songs.
This has been remixed and like some Rolling Stones discs I bought just over two years ago are super audio cds that play on my cd ordinary player. I don't know if I'll get a super audio one of them, mind.
Getting back to myself, this years been a rollercoaster for me, feeling like screaming at all the hours I've been expected to do losing so much of my time that it's the child like things I've been craving for increasingly. 
I'm having my childhood back and I am thinking about making a space on this internet thing to jot it all down.

Pre blog III - Holiday thoughts

I'm away this week and I think Mommy made a pretty big mistake in my past even if in some ways now she's almost making up for it, that is she dressed me like this:

Really she should of chosen this instead:

Putting me in it as that's really much more me and sending me to school in girls uniform. 
she's starting to accept that's really where I'm at now although several years back it was a very thorny issue that made being together difficult. This week for instance she saw me in my T shirt and  netball skirt without batting an eyelid or feeling that she 'had' to comment and we've been clothes shopping together too.

Pre blog II - Give me a school day

You know, that last entry has had an effect on me, making me think.
You see I've been ill for a month now with stress from this groan up work, working from home loads of ours surrounded by emails and reports to read and respond to.
Surrounded by them  I have bought myself schoolgirls blouses to wear at home because I've realized something and it is being at school with its rules, homework and so on actually was less stressful for me and I'd gladly swap places for all of that because I know the time afterwards is mine. While I'll ill, I'm going try to wear a uniform and follow some rules as I was happy to follow school rules because they kept me safe and I felt secure.
At the moment I've been working on things up to 10 o clock at night and this I know: I want out of the groan up world.

Pre-blog

Snippets from the past are things I just keep on finding be they in my mind or in carefully stored correspondence so here's an entry from the past.
Today, I bought a T shirt and a Maroon coloured traditional pleated games skirt while doing some groan up work on the computer. 

I did it cos it's been a stressful time dealing with loads of important emails and all I want to do is be little again playing school games. It's true.
I was a bit shocked after hitting the submit button on Newitts, the York based internet sports store after entering my payment details but the deed is done.
I want my childhood back.
