TV on TV

I seem to be talking about TV a lot. Fair enough, I have been watching quite a bit lately.

And not just RuPaul's Drag Race...

Avoiding spoilers, but...

Tonight's Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell hit one of my fantasies bullseye. I imagine the creator Susanna Clarke has seen the same film I have...

Jamie Clayton

Sense8, the new internet TV series from the Wachowskis, features Jamie Clayton as a trans activist. She's beautiful, confident, heroic, basically awesome.

Thanks to Caehlim on Elliquiy for pointing her out.

Penny Dreadful already had my interest...

Then Angelique arrived. (wardrobe envy grabby hands)

At last it's nice out!

Lovely warm weather... wish I was in a flimsy nightdress. I'll certainly take the next opportunity to step into a skirt.

The New Dress Code

Beorning has been running The New Dress Code for me for almost a year now (and in turn I've been running A Visit To Stepford for Beorning) and we just got to a major plot development...

"The office had been doing well under its current manager, with her relaxed style suiting most of the employees well, but when she took maternity leave the company sent a man to take over. He had some old-fashioned ideas about office politics and gender relations... and some new ideas for how to implement them.

Can a young assistant discover his secret... before it's too late?"

Our heroine has gone along with the new heavily-gendered dress code with some reluctance, but a fellow intern has been complaining. Until the morning, she arrived in a nice new blouse and skirt suit...

Luxuriating in the bath... thinking about shaving my legs.

All trousers and no skirts make B a sad girl...

Nothing like a few weeks of freedom to dress to make a week of no freedom to dress really sucky.

I stumbled on this picture, and...

"My face! It feels so... soft! So smooth! So... feminine! I'm the real me at last!"

Back to boy clothes, for now

I've been dressing more for the last few weeks, which has been lovely, but sadly I and my clothes have to go back in the closet for a while.

Homme Mystere

Lingerie shaped for male bodies.

Tempting...

Fanny and Stella

Currently being told on stage in London, the story of Victorian crossdressers Fanny and Stella shows that as always it ain't what you know, it's who you know - one of them having a judge for a father probably helped them be acquitted on sodomy charges.

And damn if Stella wasn't a pretty gal.

RuPaul's Drag Race

On the sides of buses lately has been the announcement that RuPaul's Drag Race has returned to one of our minor TV channels. So I check and it's apparently series 4, from 2012. It doesn't seem to have any contestants who ping my 'passing envy' either.

Caitlyn Jenner

A TS Olympic athlete introduces herself to the world. She's a very classy and sophisticated lady. Totally jealous of her style! Congratulations Caitlyn!

April, May, June... I'd answer to any of these names

And January too!

Hi again, welcome to June, or... well, not "summer" based on the rain outside and the heating going on automatically inside. Still, I greet the new month in my favourite nightdress and slippers.
