I’ve been on the epiphany rollercoaster for a couple of weeks, partly because I’m off work courtesy of being told to take time off work or go mad(der), and partly because I had such a wonderful eye-opening time with my dear friend on our ‘couples’ night out. I described that fully in the last blog… Continue reading [Fashion] Kicking the Bucketlist

This blog post is going to be a little different from the normal ones – don’t worry, I’ll intersperse the text with pretty pictures as per normal, but the content, as the title says, is from a vastly different angle than normal. So, I’ve always had the standard CD/Trans fantasy of going out for an… Continue reading [Philosophy] The Other Side of the Mirror

We live in both the best of times, from an information and, you know, not being at war or under constant threat of death way, and the worst of times, in that the society we live in seems, well, a bit shit at the moment. There’s end-stage capitalism, a realisation that those in power care… Continue reading [Philosophy] Surviving the InBetween….

Section 1: Getting to know the girl. 1: What’s your full name. And why? Tina Martini. The why is a long story, but to cut it short(ish), at my first decent makeover in 2016 I was told I needed a girl name. Can you believe I had never even thought about it? Tina Martini immediately… Continue reading [BFG] Tina Martini

Section 1: Getting to know the girl. 1: What’s your full name. And why? Oooh, that’s not an easy one to even start with! I’ve use a couple different names and they reflect different parts of my feminine personality. For the most part I use the name Rochelle Williams. The ‘O’ bit I use is… Continue reading [BFG] Rochelle Williams

Section 1: Getting to know the girl. 1: What’s your full name. And why? Stephanie Ashton. I plan to transition and continue my current line of professional work so decided to go for something that says class and elegance. Or put this way… it is an improvement on my previous names. My very first name… Continue reading [BFG] Stephanie Ashton

Section 1: Getting to know the girl. 1: What’s your full name. And why? Janine Thomas. That’s it. Why? Well, in male mode I have what I think is a ridiculously long name (mind you, it isn’t royal baby long). Growing up, it always made me feel a little self-conscious (but then, pretty much everything… Continue reading [BFG] Janine Thomas

So, a bit of a change. I’ve been a little, well, deep and dark lately and life is too short for that level of gothic seriousness all the time. So, I’m resurrecting an old concept I had *but* extending it somewhat. I’ve come up with a little tongue-in-cheek questionnaire that tickles the knowledge taste-buds, and… Continue reading [BFG] The Return of the Bitch-Finder Generaless

I had a wonderful moment this morning, kind of, where a medical professional told me that Sarah is a completely healthy coping strategy that has kept me sane. I think it was a complement, and it explains quite a bit. Turns out I have something excitingly called Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, not to be confused… Continue reading [Philosophy] When a Guilty Secret turns out to be a Lifesaver…..

Firstly, I’m just back home after another trek into London where I had a long session yesterday, May 16th, at the sublime Boys Will Be Girls, which is what this blog post will be all about – lots of lovely pictures and chats about the different looks we did (huge amount of gorgeous retro styles).… Continue reading [Fashion] Ye G.A.D.
