So this happened at Elliquiy...

Unexpected beauty moment of the year...

X-Men spinoff TV show The Gifted cast Skyler Samuels as the Stepford Cuckoos, psychic triplets.

Three of Skyler Samuels. Can I be one?

Sabrina Lynn

Someone new to envy... model, cosplayer, occasional Jessica Rabbit.

Thanks to Metamorphoo for the intro!

Dark In Love - I sure am

I want to be the Dark In Love girl. Can't find her name...

"You want to take my photo wearing... this?"

"But... people will see!"

“What? You made me wear this! The shoes, too!”

“... Alright, I admit it, I love dressing like this. But don’t tell anyone!”

Snow! How festive. While I'm able to stay indoors.

The Miniaturist

Eeeeeeee dresses

This isn't even the prettiest.

She Is The Doctor!

Doctor Who doing a male-to-female regeneration of the Doctor is a huge deal. Representation, the visibility of a female lead, and the casually genderfluid (rather than trans) Time Lord and chances to examine historical sexism.

Of course, speaking as a weirdo, I was a bit disappointed that it was shown as a closeup of his-to-her eyes. :D

Roll on the autumn and her first adventures!

Happy Holidays!

From me (I wish!) to you

Christmas Eve

So here's Michelle Monaghan in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. Why not?

Not OK, Cupid

Oh, brilliant move, OKCupid. Thanks heaps. Drop anonymity for "real" (i.e. given) names.

A blue and red dress with a design over the chest...

... from the House of Worth in 195. I found this searching for Victorian winter dresses, and... I want to see Supergirl in it. :D

Becoming a girl temporarily as a test of manhood

"Okay, my fiancee said we get to have the bachelor party over a long weekend on one condition - I spend Friday night as a bachelorette to see what it's like. As my best man, would you mind joining me...?"

Or...

Frat initiation includes four days as a sorority pledge. "It was mandated by the dean that we improve our sensitivity training. So... Yes, cheerleading tryouts are also compulsory."

Thanks to Nayko for letting me ramble like this. :)

What if temporary TF pills come out?

Now idly thinking about other things that could happen if temporary TF pills become available.

Companies arranging 'vacation from yourself' packages with false ID, makeovers, and so on.

"If you choose to move to your new identity permanently there will be an additional charge for the permanency pill and identity documentation, as well as the repeating charge for your housing and other lifestyle costs. Of course, given the Society Princess identity you have assumed, you can probably find a sugar daddy to pay for this."

The longest night...

... time for the longest nightdress.

Squee!

You're the hero, you have to go undercover

A new roleplaying thread, keeping it light... where this happens to me.

An enchanted weapon created to magically empower a girl it zaps a guy instead, making him the girl it needs him to be to save the world.

So, because he's stuck with having to fight monsters, he'll have to keep going into awkward situations like going to a dance with a guy friend because the hosts have a stash of magic books in the attic, and going undercover when cheerleaders start going missing... It's a catch-all excuse to drop him in a whole lot of girly situations.

Hi WB, thanks for putting up with me. :)

Bella Thorne in Famous In Love

Apparently this is something that happens in her new series. I would like to find out why.

Bella Thorne in The Babysitter

Apparently the movie where Bella Thorne plays an evil cheerleader is on Netflix. Better watch that while Netflix is a thing.

Ah well, various legal issues and takedowns of the front shithead have followed, so hopefully...

Fuck fuck fuck fuck

Net Neutrality

If NN goes away I'm sure some TG content will survive. Like... Fictionmania is mostly just text. But it sure won't help isolated LGBTQ (or isolated anybody)

It's very much my outer boy side that likes Star Wars. This part just wants Jyn Erso's face and Queen Amidala's wardrobe.

Looking in the mirror again...

You like your new look, don't you?

Looking at your reflection...

He turned to the mirror, wondering what the strange power in the old house had done to him, as everything had faded from the present and changed back to how it had been in the 1950s...

... and he was surprised by how happy he was.

Anyway, last Christmas shopping achieved... now to buy something pretty for myself.

It's nice to be reminded that we can win a few.

And Australia has gone for it too.

Yay Austria!

Austrian court legalises same-sex marriage!

Normally the years get faster...

But this year feels like about two and a half.

Three weeks to go...

I have no idea what led to Mary Elizabeth Winstead in a pinup Santa outfit. But if it were me I'd go with it too.

Every year, around this time...

I see an evening dress in a store window and get mopey.

Christmas shopping nearly done. Party dress envy in full effect.

It's December! Time to wear red and white.

Like so.

Dove Cameron in SPACE

Apparently Dove Cameron is joining Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD this year. And this year they're in space, so first thought, some kind of alien princess.

Who is she?

Image found thanks to Simone, via Tumblr, via someone's wallpaper website. That's all GIS could tell me.

So obviously she's me in a better world. :)

Yes, of course I'd like to be a princess too.

Princess Meghan

Congratulations to Prince Harry on getting Meghan Markle to agree to marry him!

Female impersonation in WWII POW camps

From History Today, Just Like The Real Thing by Clare Makepeace.

Thanks to robin freers on Fictionmania for the link!

Natalia, now with heels

Like a queen

Saw Justice League. It was okay. Still kinda want to be Wonder Woman. Now also Mera.

Black Friday

Once I get my Christmas shopping done, I may be shopping for something black... and silky...

Happy Thanksgiving, readers in the US!

Marilyn Monroe, 1950

I want it...

And again

Natalia Skazka

(According to Instagram anyway) Thanks to Simone for the pic!

Transgender Day Of Remembrance

GLAAD resources.

It's been one of those weeks in the news. Most of them are.

TWQ: Eleanor Tomlinson

TWQ: Emily Berrington

TWQ: Freya Mavor

TWQ: Rebecca Ferguson

If nothing else, this series had a whole lot of beauty in historical dress. Like so...

Yay Australia!

A big vote for marriage equality!

That's great news.

A sequel to The White Queen?

Oh, alright then!

The White Princess, on TV here soon.

Danica Roem

Now with content. :)

Danica Roem

;)

Danica Roem

Yep.

Danica Roem

Ongoing yays!

Danica Roem

I might just say Danica Roem all week.

Danica Roem

Danica Roem has become the first openly transgender person elected to a state legislature in American history, defeating the drafter of the Bathroom Bill. :)

Danica Roem

YEAH!

Speaking of historical costumes, here's one twice over

Lana Turner's black dress for the 1956 16th century historical drama Diane, on sale at Bonham's, a snip at $3000 reserve.

Thanks to fripperiesandfobs!

Remember, Remember...

Is it wrong to envy a 1600s outfit? On a modern actor, not someone actually back then.

I certainly couldn't look as mad wearing it as Liv Tyler does.

Guy Fawkes Night just ain't the same...

I miss Halloween.

After Halloween...

And on into November. Still, not long till Pretty Party Dress Season. Or "Christmas" as I think some people call it.

Okay, between us... not just for Halloween. ;)

For Halloween I want to be Morgana

Sadly my actual Halloween costume will be "wrapping up warmly".

On Halloween look in the glass

Or your past male self's. Whatevs.

I'm all dolled up in black. Lips and nails and all.

I'd rather be a sexy witch

"This trick's a treat"

At least it's easy to get makeup once a year

It's Halloween weekend, and I have some new black nail polish.

I wish I had a lot more.

The Golden Princess

The candles went out as you explored the palace, just as you reached a mirrored hallway. Then they light themselves again, and you see what has been done to you in the dark, how you now look and what you now wear...

Pitch Perfect 3

New trailer in cinemas, and wowsers those USO uniforms.

Jean-Philippe Worth dress, 1887-9

At the Met. Photo thanks to fashionsfromhistory

1890s silk and velvet reception gown

Maybe a bit much but I wouldn't mind trying it on to see.

Skulls, bats, crosses

And corsets

Back to the Goth cuteness

As we reach the weekend, something more properly Halloweeny.

Mircalla Tepez

That goes for just about everything she ever wore
