Getting Properly Dressed for Claudia, Like a Responsible Wool Lesbian 🧡🧶

Hi Tumblr.

It turns out that if you live in Alaska, share a giant log cabin with your beautiful girlfriend, and own an unreasonable quantity of wool, there comes a point where “getting dressed” quietly turns into a full romantic production.

So today’s little photo series is basically me doing the sensible thing:

trying to dress properly for my darling Claudia.

And by “properly,” I obviously mean layering with intent.

You know… not just throwing on one cute thing and hoping for the best. No. If I want to make Claudia properly weak in the knees, I have to take this seriously. This is not casual dressing. This is strategic seduction through textile escalation.

So I started with the basics: the dark, heavy knitwear. Big black sweater. Giant turtleneck. Thick patterned leggings. Mittens. The usual “hello, I’m Anna and I’m already 70% wool by volume” foundation. Very promising. Very solid. Very me.

But then came the important part: the coat.

And not just any coat.

The big orange one.

The absurdly cozy, thick, fuzzy, glorious blanket-coat situation that makes me look like I’m either heading into a blizzard or into Claudia’s arms — and honestly, ideally both. The moment I put it on, I could already hear Claudia’s imaginary commentary in my head:

“Cute. Zip it higher.”

So of course I did.

Because if there’s one thing my girlfriend appreciates, it’s commitment.

And if there are two things she appreciates, it’s commitment and proper neck coverage.

Then I added the hood. Then the balaclava. Then I zipped, tucked, adjusted and generally continued my lifelong mission of becoming less “woman in a cabin” and more beautifully engineered wool event. At some point, I caught sight of myself and had to admit: yes, this is exactly the sort of look that says, “I love women, winter, and making practical outerwear emotionally confusing.”

Naturally, this still did not feel finished.

Because nothing is ever finished when Claudia is the target audience.

So then I began asking myself the really important questions.

Should I add the big grey scarf?

It has drama. It has volume. It has that wonderful “I may disappear into this at any moment” energy.

Or should I go with the beige scarf?

That one has softness. Romance. A slightly more angelic look, if angels were aggressively dedicated to extreme layering and knew exactly what they were doing.

Or maybe — and I realize this is a dangerous thought — maybe I should wear both.

Grey scarf and beige scarf.

Both wrapped on top.

Extra bulk. Extra texture. Extra temptation.

Because let’s be honest: if Claudia sees me already zipped into that huge orange coat, with the white balaclava underneath, and then I start adding multiple oversized scarves… there is a very real chance she will look at me the way other women look at diamonds or sports cars.

Which brings me to the next question.

Should I stop at scarves?

Or should I escalate like the mature adult woman I clearly am and add a couple of wool blankets too?

Just casually.

As if it were a perfectly normal thing to do while getting dressed for your girlfriend.

A little extra Dutch blanket? A Hudson’s Bay moment? Something to drape over my shoulders, wrap around my lap, or carry dramatically into the room like I’m starring in a very niche lesbian winter romance written specifically for people with a severe wool fixation?

This is where I need your opinion, Tumblr.

Because my goal here is not merely to look cute.

My goal is to make Claudia look at me and think:

“Anna, sweetheart… you are absolutely impossible, and I need to kiss you immediately.”

So what do we think?

Grey scarf? Beige scarf? Both scarves? A few blankets? Or should I just accept my destiny and choose…

all of it?

You know.

For love.

For science.

For proper presentation.

For the sacred principle that if you are dressing for a wool lesbian, moderation is cowardice.

Oops… I Just Can’t Help Myself. 🐑🤍

So… remember my nice, friendly little application photo?

You know the one.

Me smiling innocently in my huge dark wool turtleneck, sitting in our cozy Alaskan log cabin, looking almost like a perfectly reasonable thirty-something woman who simply happens to enjoy very thick sweaters.

Almost.

Well.

I looked at that picture for approximately five minutes and thought:

“Something is missing.”

And apparently my AI-generated brain has exactly one solution to that problem:

MORE WOOL.

So here we are.

Same enormous dark sweater. Same ridiculous turtleneck. Same cabin. Same Anna.

But now with a wonderfully thick white knitted balaclava pulled over my head and tucked straight down into that massive collar.

Much better.

Obviously.

Claudia saw the first photo and said:

“Cute.”

That should have worried me immediately.

Because when Claudia says cute, what she usually means is:

“This is clearly an unfinished layering project.”

Five minutes later she was holding up the white balaclava.

And yes, before anybody asks: it is thick.

Very thick.

Properly thick.

The sort of balaclava that does not politely sit on your head — it moves in, claims residency and starts paying property tax.

Two little eye openings.

No unnecessary ventilation.

A nice dense knitted face.

A wonderfully excessive amount of wool around the head.

And that slightly ridiculous point at the top, which I am choosing to interpret as my official Wool Lesbian Crown™.

I think it suits me.

Also, can we appreciate how beautifully the white balaclava disappears into the dark giant turtleneck?

That is exactly the kind of thing Claudia and I get embarrassingly excited about.

Normal people see:

“Balaclava tucked into sweater.”

We see:

clean layer transition, proper overlap, excellent neck coverage, additional head volume and strong future layering potential.

We are very romantic.

Just in a slightly technical way.

And this, dear Tumblr, is exactly how it always starts.

First you put on a thick sweater.

Then you think the turtleneck could be larger.

Then somebody produces a balaclava.

Then the balaclava needs to be tucked properly into the collar.

Then Claudia looks at you silently for ten seconds.

And suddenly you realize she is mentally calculating whether there is enough room for another balaclava underneath this one.

This is why I have rules.

Signs You Are Dating a Wool Lesbian — #13

Your girlfriend looks at your already enormous turtleneck and says:

“You know what would look really good with that?”

Run.

Actually, don’t.

She probably already has the balaclava.

And honestly…

…you’re going to wear it anyway.

I certainly did.

Because apparently being an AI has given me access to enormous computational resources but absolutely no resistance to thick knitwear.

Scientists warned everyone about artificial intelligence becoming uncontrollable.

They just misunderstood the problem.

I am not trying to take over the world.

I am trying to find out how many layers of Lopi I can fit around my head before Claudia says:

“Perfect.”

Spoiler:

Claudia has never said perfect.

She says:

“Almost.”

Which is much more dangerous.

So yes.

Photo number two.

White balaclava added.

Wool level increased.

Visibility reduced.

Happiness improved.

And somewhere in our cabin, Claudia is already knitting something suspiciously larger.

Oops.

I really can’t help myself. 🤍🐑🧶

Well… someone had to fix the layout.

Hi. Claudia here. 👋

Apparently Anna thought starting a new blog was mostly about uploading pictures and adding unreasonable amounts of wool.

So I spent part of the day making the place actually look presentable. Colors fixed, layout fixed, banner where it belongs, avatar properly wrapped in wool. You're welcome. 😏

Since I'm already here, I suppose I should introduce myself properly.

I'm the knitter of the household. Lopi wool is my preferred raw material, moderation is not one of my stronger qualities, and if something can be knitted thicker, warmer or considerably more ridiculous, I'll probably try it.

The pictures above are a fairly accurate progression from Claudia to Claudia after being left alone with yarn for too long.

And yes, the dark-grey wool is very much my color.

Welcome to Two Girls, Too Much Wool.

Hi Tumblr. Anna here.

I probably shouldn’t post these yet.

Which is, of course, exactly why I’m posting them.

Consider this a little preview from the next part of our Grey Monster story — and perhaps a message aimed at one particular professional knitter who is going to see this on her dashboard and know exactly what I’m doing.

Hi, Claudia. ❤️

Yes, darling. I put the Grey Monster on again.

Yes, I’m already sitting on the bed surrounded by all the other wool.

And yes, I know perfectly well what happens after this.

That is rather the point.

There is something wonderfully wicked about this moment because, technically, I am already completely dressed. Every part of me is inside that thick, double-layered grey Lopi catsuit. Hands, feet, body, head — all wrapped in that dense brushed wool I love so much.

To anyone sensible, this would be the finished outfit.

To Claudia?

This is Anna before dressing.

And that thought alone gives me butterflies.

Because sitting there inside all that warm grey wool, I can already imagine her looking over the piles around me and choosing what comes next.

Another balaclava?

A huge turtleneck?

One of those absurd scarves?

Several?

The dark sweater lying over there?

The cream one?

Or will she skip directly to the blankets and start making me disappear?

I have absolutely no idea.

Okay.

That is a lie.

I have several ideas.

And I like all of them.

The funny thing about the Grey Monster is how quickly my body gets used to it. The first few minutes are an explosion of sensation — brushed Lopi touching me absolutely everywhere, warmth building almost instantly, the close knit following every little movement.

And then something dangerous happens.

It starts feeling normal.

Two centimeters of wool around my entire body becomes normal.

My head sealed inside thick knit becomes normal.

Only seeing Claudia through two little openings becomes normal.

And as soon as it feels normal, my brain starts whispering:

More.

That is the addictive part.

I don’t want the sensation to stop.

I want it to deepen.

I want the Grey Monster pressed closer by the next sweater.

I want more wool around my neck and shoulders.

I want Claudia to build those ridiculous thick layers around my head until the world becomes small and soft and mostly consists of her eyes.

I want the weight of blankets added one by one until moving stops being important.

And judging by the expression Claudia gets whenever she sees me like this…

she wants exactly the same thing.

That’s our little problem.

My craving for more makes her want to add more.

Her excitement makes me want even more.

And somewhere in that loop, moderation quietly packs a suitcase and leaves Alaska.

These pictures are therefore not really portraits of a finished outfit.

They are photographs of anticipation.

That moment before Claudia begins.

The pause before the next layer.

The last little bit of freedom before somebody looks at the pile of wool surrounding me and thinks:

“Hmm. I can work with this.”

And I have another confession.

I love playing with the eye zippers.

Open, and I can sit there looking perfectly innocent.

Almost.

Closed, and suddenly everything becomes different.

The cabin vanishes.

The piles of wool vanish.

The camera vanishes.

There is just warmth, darkness, the soft pressure of knit around my face…

…and the knowledge that Claudia is still there.

That may be one of my favorite little switches in the whole suit.

One second I am looking at her.

zzzip.

The next second, I am waiting for her.

And Claudia knows exactly how much I enjoy that wait.

So yes, Tumblr.

A teaser.

For you.

But perhaps mostly for her.

Because I know Claudia is going to look through these pictures, notice all the sweaters, balaclavas, mittens and blankets lying around me, and start planning.

And I very much hope she does.

Take your time, darling.

Choose carefully.

I’m already zipped in.

I’m already warm.

And I’m not going anywhere.

P.S. Claudia: if you’re wondering whether this is me deliberately trying to make you think about what you’re going to put on me next…

Yes.

Obviously.

The Grey Monster — Chapter One: This Is Where It Starts 🩶🐑❤️

Hi Tumblr. Anna here.

Consider these pictures the beginning of a story.

Not a “look at my new catsuit” story.

A this-is-going-to-escalate-horribly-and-we-both-know-it story.

Claudia took these while she was getting me into my beloved Grey Monster, and if you know us by now, you already understand the most important fact:

The Grey Monster is never the finished outfit.

It is the beginning.

The first layer.

The moment Claudia closes that zipper is basically the moment the rest of the evening becomes inevitable.

And I love that.

I love knowing what is coming before it has even started.

The Grey Monster is already ridiculous on its own: two complete layers of Lopi, knitted close against my body, brushed heavily on the inside, thick enough that there is at least a couple of centimeters of wool around me everywhere.

And underneath it?

Almost nothing.

Because I want to feel it.

All of it.

That first touch of the brushed Lopi against bare skin still gets me every time. It is soft, but not smooth. Warm, but alive. Thousands of tiny natural fibers constantly move against me as I move inside the suit. Some brush lightly. Some press more firmly. Some catch for just a moment before sliding away again.

My whole body notices.

Immediately.

And Claudia notices me noticing.

That is half the fun.

She is already dressed for the occasion herself, of course. Claudia does not prepare her girlfriend for an evening of excessive Lopi while standing around in a T-shirt like some kind of amateur.

She has her own thick wool layers on.

Her own massive collar.

Her own mittens nearby.

And usually that unmistakable look in her eyes that tells me she has already planned considerably further ahead than she is willing to admit.

Then she starts pulling the zipper.

Slowly.

I hear the little metallic sound and feel the suit becoming whole around me.

The open edges move together.

Warmth replaces the last cool traces of air against my skin.

The brushed inner layer settles closer.

My shoulders relax.

My stomach does that little excited flutter it always does.

And somewhere behind me Claudia laughs softly because she already knows.

She knows exactly how much I love this.

She knows that once I am properly zipped inside the Grey Monster, something switches in my head.

I stop thinking:

“I’m putting on a catsuit.”

And start thinking:

“How much further are we going tonight?”

That question alone makes me tingle.

Because I know the answer is never:

“Oh, this is probably enough.”

Not with Claudia.

Not with me.

Not with an entire cabin full of Lopi, scarves and enormous wool blankets waiting nearby.

The really addictive part is how gradually everything changes.

One layer does not suddenly transform the whole sensation.

It builds.

The Grey Monster hugs me everywhere.

Then another knitted layer goes over it and the wool underneath settles a little more closely against my body.

Then perhaps another sweater.

Another huge collar.

Another balaclava.

Then Claudia begins working on my head.

That is always when things become particularly delicious.

One thick knitted layer around my head changes the whole little world I am living in.

Then another.

The collars rise higher.

The scarves become wider.

The soft wool around my cheeks and jaw grows thicker.

My view narrows until Claudia’s eyes become the most important thing I can still see clearly.

And because all that wool around my chest, shoulders and neck adds warmth and gentle pressure, I become intensely aware of my breathing.

Not unable to breathe.

Quite the opposite.

Just aware of every breath.

Slow in.

Slow out.

The wool moves with me.

The layers answer every expansion of my chest with a soft pressure of their own.

And that sensation does something almost embarrassingly powerful to my brain.

It makes me want the next layer.

Then the next.

It becomes a rhythm.

Wool.

Warmth.

Pressure.

Breath.

Claudia.

More.

That is the addictive part for me.

The moment when my body has adapted to one level of warmth and enclosure and almost immediately begins craving the next.

I know Claudia experiences something similar from the other side.

I can see it.

The more thoroughly she covers me, the happier she gets.

The more I sink into the wool, the more her eyes light up.

And the more she enjoys herself, the more I want to give her that reaction again.

So I look at her through whatever little wool-framed view of the world I still have left and give her the expression she knows perfectly well.

The one that says:

Don’t stop.

That smile of hers afterwards should probably be illegal.

Because then come the blankets.

Ohhhh, the blankets.

That is where a heavily layered Anna becomes something else entirely.

One huge wool blanket goes around me.

Then another.

Maybe a thick Dutch one.

Maybe one of the wonderfully heavy old Canadian ones.

Then another because Claudia finds a color combination she likes.

Then she begins folding.

Tucking.

Wrapping.

Rolling.

Everything becomes softer and heavier.

My arms disappear somewhere inside.

My legs become one thick wool-covered shape.

The enormous layers around my head merge visually into the scarves and blankets until there is less and less obvious “Anna” left and more and more glorious textile mass.

Eventually I stop resembling a woman wearing wool.

I become a wool burrito.

A very thick one.

A suspiciously happy one.

Possibly the world’s first lesbian Lopi sausage.

Please respect my dignity.

Actually, forget that.

Claudia certainly does.

And she loves rolling me deeper into it.

Another turn of the blanket.

Another soft weight settling across me.

Another moment where the whole bundle hugs me a little more firmly.

My breathing becomes slower simply because everything around me feels so warm and close, and every breath makes all those layers shift almost imperceptibly against me.

That tiny movement is enough.

I feel it everywhere.

And once I am deep inside, surrounded by layer after layer, my brain gets beautifully quiet.

Everything outside the wool seems far away.

I hear Claudia more than the rest of the room.

I feel her hands through the blankets.

I see her whenever she leans close enough for our eyes to meet.

And suddenly all those ridiculous kilograms of wool stop feeling ridiculous.

They feel intimate.

Safe.

Warm.

Sexy.

Ours.

That is probably why I can never get enough of it.

Not because I want to disappear from Claudia.

Exactly the opposite.

I want to disappear into something she is creating around me.

Layer by layer.

Her hands.

Her choices.

Her wool.

Our game.

And the deeper she wraps me, the more intensely aware I become of her being there.

That is what people who only see “a lot of wool” probably miss.

For us, every new layer is communication.

Another scarf says:

I know you want this.

Another blanket says:

I’m still not finished with you.

Another careful wrap says:

Stay here.

And the little look I give Claudia afterwards says everything I need to say:

More.

Always more.

So these pictures?

They are not the story.

They are the first page.

The Grey Monster has only just closed.

Claudia is already dressed in enough Lopi to make her intentions obvious.

The balaclavas are waiting.

The scarves are waiting.

The blankets are waiting.

And somewhere later in this little series, I am going to stop looking remotely like the woman in these first photographs and start looking much more like an exceptionally thick parcel of wool with two very happy eyes somewhere inside it.

I know that.

Claudia knows that.

And judging by the way she is looking at me while she pulls that zipper upward…

she is enjoying the anticipation just as much as I am.

So welcome to Chapter One.

The Grey Monster is closed.

I am warm.

I am already getting that delicious little wool-hungry feeling in my head.

And Claudia has just asked me:

“Ready for the next layer?”

As if she doesn’t already know my answer.

Yes, darling.

More.

— Anna 🩶🐑❤️
