Check-Up #33

 Yes it's the end of the month so it must be me posting again trying to keep this blog somewhat productive. As ever there's a lot of things I mean to do and write about but time and energy seem to pass me by. It doesn't help that work is even worse than ever now. 

As ever I've been out dressed a few times as I've been going to some events recently. I even get the odd compliment which is always nice although sometimes the brain does tend to overthink things and I wonder if people are just being kind but then they don't have to say anything at all and at least it's better than the alternative which is all too common these days. I went to a party a few months ago and afterwards in a pub, while standing at the bar in a glittery jumper, trainers and blue maxi-skirt I was asked if I had been to see Taylor Swift. I'm not sure why, maybe it's all the glitter. Recently I went to another party in a pub (purple dress, purple tights and black cardi. The host really likes purple and it was her birthday) and while standing outside chatting to friends I had a lady come up to me to say I looked great. Also I finally plucked up the courage to wear my pink fluffy jacket which is lovely and warm. 

I'm a little more careful about buying new clothes these days but I think it's a natural progression as when you first start crossdressing there is a tendency to want all the things but that's tempered over time. I still feel a little happier when I buy new clothes though and look forward to the opportunities I have to wear them (even in this weather). Today I bought a nice dark red skirt (just below the knee) and some blue trousers. Yes, trousers. However these are the same colour as the 13th Doctor's trousers (petrol blue, in case you were wondering) so I am thinking of wearing them with my cosplay. I have got a skirt to go with that cosplay but there is a perfectionist in me who wants to get it as close to screen accurate as I could get. Might need new braces though but we'll see. Can't hurt to have a variation. 

There are lots of stories that I would love to recommend over the various sites I read and I do mean to do more blogs about them to share some of this great work. This month there is a wonderful story I have been reading this month over at The Changing Mirror and that is Blonde Ambition by tithug. This a F2F, hypnosis based slow bimbofication tale of a smart student turning into an airhead so if you like your bimbo tales then this is one I would certainly recommend. 

Finally, I've just started watching a new sitcom Smoggie Queens which is set around a LGBTQ+ friend group in Middlesborough. I'm tempted to write a bit about it now but may do later after I've seen the lot. I enjoyed the first episode and while the main character Dickie is a typical sitcom monster (especially to poor newbie Stewart) he is so himself that I have to admire him; tottering around in high heels and skimpy outfits while sporting a fine moustache. Hopefully the rest of the series won't disappoint. If you're in the UK and this very brief review has interested you, the whole series of 6 episodes is on the BBC iplayer.
