There's still a lot I want to talk about but I can never seem to find the time or I just fear I'll be repeating the same old rants about my lack of a love life and general social skills so here's another Pink Library story and one that I've been enjoying recently.
Developing an Addiction by Trish
I've mentioned before the idea of being turned into a smoker and this continues that as a young man gets addicted to smoking but not just that - it's a very feminine brand which is smoked by the older lady. Now I've always loved a kind of specific transformation, turning into a specific person rather than a type. Say for example being turned by a bimbo girl called Staci into someone jut like her with her mannerisms, language and such rather than A.N. Other Bimbo. Not that I'm against that, you understand. It's all good. I remember when I frequented a chat room years I used to love going back out and coming back in as someone's twin. Dressed just like them and being asked to be 'trained' to be like them.
In this tale, the young man is being taught by Betty to be just like her. The phrase "lamb dressed as mutton" is wonderfully applied here. The mention of Arkwright's store also conjures up a particular image. I'm not sure I like the idea of him becoming Jean's 'wife' but overall this is a wonderful and well written story.

Back From Con
Hey everyone
I spent the past weekend at a convention and to be honest I'm a little down about it for reasons that I won't really go into here. I did dress as Amy Pond once more but it didn't seem to go down as well as the last time although at least I had the correct hoodie and a new wig albeit one that was browner than expected. I was a bit nervous although I did receive some encouragement from friends.
I guess I was expecting a bit more attention than I got. One guy thought, because I had a black shirt underneath, that it was a Star Trek uniform (that's actually a whole other blog) and I was expecting at least one wag to tell me I was in the wrong toilets whenever I heeded a call of nature. I tried out an Amy scowl in a few photos though. Some really impressive cosplay on as always. I guess one thing that irked me was talking to a friend of mine who saw it as more of a drag act than a crossplay even though I don't wear falsies and make-up. He's also someone who's seen me do this sort of thing many times and again it bothers me that people always expect me to dress in female clothes when dressing up. I don't know if I'll ever wear this costume again although I would like to especially since I've got it right now. Still, plenty more looks I can try out although the next con I attend may (I haven't signed up yet) be one attended by Karen Gillan herself.
