Dita vs Croc Evil

I think Dita has taste

 

Dita Von Teese has revealed that she cannot forgive people for wearing crocs.

The burlesque dancer said that she was shocked when she recently saw celebrity blogger Perez Hilton wearing the clumpy shoes.

Von Teese told Metro: "I find crocs offensive. I really can't accept those under any circumstances. I was at an airport with Perez Hilton who was wearing those shoes. I was aghast."

I found this a while ago, but never got round to posting (is so out of date)

Looking at the New Year

I'm now back in Exeter after a quiet Christmas with the family in Budleigh, though my break was short lived as I returned to work yesterday. Still I am looking forward to New Year's Eve and the Cosplay party, especially now my red wig has arrived. I'm going to have to try everything together in the next few days.

Speaking of the new year, and of resolutions, Next year I hope to achieve.:

• Be a Girl:
  I'm not meaning operations (yet), what I am aiming for is full time girl when not at work, doing family stuff or other things where it essential that I am boied. That follows on from last year's effort to be 'more glam more often'. With that being relatively successful, I think it might be worth taking up a gear.
  
• Less Coke:
  Cut back on my consumption of a certain brown fizzy drink.
  
• Get a Boi/Girlfriend:
  Pretty Obvious Really!
  
• One Photo per day:
  I plan to take a photo of something every day, whether it is an outfit, some scenery or just something I found interesting.
  
• Keep this blog alive:
  I plan to try and post semi regularly, hopefully a couple of posts each week.

So those are my plans for next year. Wish me luck...

Edit: I've also noticed that I've now passed 100 posts, pity the 100th post wasn't anything more interesting then a "Merry Christmas" but still cause for some celebration...

This girl has a very cool style, definitely could make some of her looks work with an extra dose of dark style.

Last Glam before Christmas

I'm spending Christmas with the family so no chance of glamour for a bit, but just before I left for the parents I produced a VLOG and took some pictures.

Corset: Snobz
Jeans: Primani
Boots: Next

Today I am Wearing: Early Morning glam

Today is a very cold morning and so I’m snuggled up in a warm dressing gown, I’m also wearing leggings, but as I couldn’t find my black pair they are shiny. And as I couldn’t find my slipper (I have now) I’m wearing heels… Definitely a glamourous way to eat your cereal.

Ooh Pinstripe

I do like the corordination here... I don't need to say much more

From Daily Mail

New Buy: Big jumper.

I picked up this in Primark when lurking in town with my friend Dru. Its lovely and warm and snuggly, just what I need in the cold weather. It looks fantastic with leggings. Oh the colour matches some of my other recent purchases…

Cute and Glam

I have some very good news, hopefully in January I'll have some company in my flat. I'm getting some Rats! I have a cage and am working on a rat run to keep teeth away from my wirenests (untill I can find a more permanent way to unnest) Pictures will of course be posted :)

Am also pondering how to glam boi me more, for when the girl glam is inappropriate. I'm pondering shaving the remains of my natural hair off, and then adding makeup (with the hope I don't look too Festerish when not using fake hair).

Thats pretty much it for now (the spacebar is broken on this pc - usual quality equipment for work)

Glam Fail

Well in the end I didn’t end up going glam to either of last weekend’s events. Drama kicked off, I had no money and in the end I just couldn’t be bothered with making an effort when I’d probably be leaving early. Still I should have a bit more to look forward to in the coming weeks.

New Buy: Purple Next Boots

I was in need of some more daytime boots and decided to indulge my love of purple by getting these boots from Next. While Next do have a reputation for being very conservative and vanilla, they also make their boots in girlyboi friendly sizes! Consequentially these boots are very very comfortable. They have a foldable cuff so can be worn with the cuff down for pirate style. Alternatively with the cuff up they look equally good as an on-the-knee style. They look very good with black skinny jeans and the jumper I bought to match. More on that later…

Impending Doom: The Film Party

Well a while ago I told some of my work colleagues about girl me, and now I’ve been invited to a party. The theme is film and I ummed and ahhed for a bit. It was then suggested to me that I go as Kate Beckensale’s character in the film Van Helsing. The outfit itself is no problem. I have a corset, trousers, boots and now hair. But I have to admit I’m bricking it!

I’m feeling much more confident about my other upcoming attempt at cosplay. For a Video Game themed new year’s party I’m going as Jesse from Pokemon’s Team Rocket. Lets just hope my cosplay is better then some of these.

Hoping I don’t get distracted

Hopefully there is an über update in the making. That’s if I don’t get distracted again!

 

In the meantime, its back to plotting for Whitby

Glamour Goals Update

Almost six months ago I posted some goals that I was aiming for in a bid to improve my glamour. I thought I would give a little progress report.

Work more on the makeup skills so I don't end up looking overdone

This I’ve been a bit hit and miss on. My makeup skills are indeed improving, but I am still very much a girl of very dark eye makeup. I have however learnt a couple of tricks to make it look more feminine. One very simple technique I’ve learnt is to not fully line the lower lid. Instead stopping slightly short which gives my eyes a more ‘lifted’ appearance. I’ve also slightly changed the shape I make with my shadow, taking inspiration from Grog (singer with Die So Fluid) which has also improved my look somewhat.

I also attempted some very extravagant makeup, think I need a bit more practice and not try and overreach myself either. I was doing well until I thought it would be a good idea to style my brows into the look. “Eek!” is the best way to describe the results.

Get my brows done so they look more feminine, I'm a bit too skittish to do my own!

Following a few lessons from the lovely Kate I am now doing my brows with varying degrees of success, I’m getting there, just need more practice at making them even. Still I will keep practicing.

Work on a daytime look that isn't wrapped up in many coats/hats & scarves.

This is something I’ve made quite good progress on. I’ve bought quite a few girly fit T-shirts which I will wear with a light hooded top or similar as I’m still a bit paranoid about my boi shoulders. Still I am looking forward to wrapping up again in nice snugly coats.

Get rid of my boi hair - now I'm more willing to show more flesh my arms are a little embarrassing

I’m afraid this is still very much ‘To-Do’ – I do run the trimmer over my arms, but I would like something a bit more long term. Unfortunately Laser removing all my boi hair would cost an absolute bomb. Guess I’ll have to get much more intimate with a Mach 3 much more often. The blood will be flowing!

 

I’ll update the progress and will hopefully add some more goals soon. Now with it being a horrible rainy day I think I’ll have a bath and do my legs…
