🎼It’s Chriiiiiiistmaaaaas!!!🎶🎶🎅🎄🎉

...'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't wanna be either, I wanna be next to you. Black and gold, black and gold...

Black and Gold by Sam Sparro 2008.

Another day, another dress, another night when I'd love to be out and enjoying my girly time in the big wide world!! I'm sure that this is something that so many people experience, you are exploring your new found femme self and would love to be out in a safe place to enjoy the feelings and maybe take a few admiring glances!?!

The photos were taken near Hull, the dress is by Jessica Howard and I'll comment some more on the "part 2" set.

...A purple little little lady will be perfect...

"Start Wearing Purple" by Gogol Bordello, 1999.

I remember the first time I heard this record, I was driving home late after a long day at work, it was completely bonkers just like me so obviously I thought it was fab. I bought the album whilst visiting NYC a few months later along with some neat "new" tech... an Ipod haha.

These were taken last year but I really enjoyed looking back through them to make the post, there should be enough for a part 2 so they should be on the way soon.

The Dress was by Coast and I thought it looked and felt lovely. In a strange turn of events for a CD like me, my GF has started to steal some of my clothes if she wants something new for a night out so I don't think this one is "mine" anymore haha!

I hope you all like the photos, I certainly enjoyed putting them together, hopefully I'll be back with some more soon if these ones go well.

...And I thank God every day, For the girl He sent my way, But I know the things He gives me, He can take away...

Benson Boone, "Beautiful Things" released 2024(?)

Sometimes I just hear a song and like it, I "Shazam it" and listen again when I get a chance. This was one of those, I hadn't heard of the artist before but it's a nice song... give it a listen sometime.

This is just a part two from the previous set, hope you like them!

...She's my cherry pie, Put a smile on your face, ten miles wide...

Sweet Cherry Pie by Warrant from 1990.

Here’s a “part two” of this set from my trip down down to Worcester, I already had a part two ready to post in my drafts but it seemed like a shame to waste these. (Dress is Dorathy by Collectif.)

...I don't fit the mold, I am real. too colorful to conceal. imperfect is the new perfect.

A song and artist that I hadn't heard before but quite liked. "Imperfect is the new perfect" by Caitlin Crosby, released 2009.

Here's the first full set of this lovely dress. I found myself with mixed emotions about how this one went, it had been a while since I had last dressed but I was really pleased with the overall look, the mixed feelings came from the dress. I had seen a lovely photo of this dress in a pin-up style photoshoot and decided it would be nice to give it a whirl myself. I set up an ebay search and just over a year later (patience is a virtue haha) I found the exact dress at a sensible price... Perfect you would think but unfortunately it just didn't fit my shoulders properly... Booooo!

The Dress is by Collectif, it was lovely to wear and it was just a shame it didn't quite work out as well as it could. I do try my best to keep the page fresh with new outfits and settings for my photos, I guess they can't all go as planned haha!
