Thank you for stopping by. I love meeting like-minded people. I really appreciate comments on my pictures, and I aim to respond to everyone's comments and private messages. You can fave all you like and you can follow me, I don't bite (unless you ask me nicely). If you tribute any of my pictures, please tag me in them.

 

Unlike many, I don't block people with empty profiles or for any other trivial reasons. So far, no-one gave me a reason to get blocked. I am modest, but I don't mind flirting and crude comments. With the right person, I can lose my modesty completely. If you fave or follow, I'll take it as a sign of appreciation. If you buy me a Pro, even more so, but then I'd rather you buy me a nice gift, i.e. clothes. I don't really need a Pro, but my best friend would really appreciate it, so if you are considering it, ask me first.

 

Currently, all my photios are public. So when I make others my friends (and family), that is a symbolic gesture, an indication that they are special to me.

 

I live in Surrey, England, not too far from London. Originally I'm from Slovenia.

 

I like camming or chatting, either with people like me or admirers. My Hangout/Chat account is martouf73@gmail.com, just let me know you're from Flickr. I'd also love to meet others like me, and I'm hoping for it to happen really soon.

  

Now a bit about me. I have recently gone through a massive change. Here's my journey in brief.

 

For most of my life I've known I had a fetish for buttons. This shows in my early photostream, my early faves and most of my galleries. I've always noticed that women's clothes were more playful with buttons than men's, so I ended up admiring women's clothes a lot more (though I kept seeking rare men's clothes that were at least half as playful with buttons). That led me to take a dip into crossdressing, which I realy wasnt interested in as such.

 

The fateful day was 11th January 2022 — see the first photo in my showcase. As I said in its description, I tried on a dress without buttons out of curiosity, but it changed me. Unbeknown to me, the girl inside me awakened, she must've been asleep for a very long time, for decades. And gradually it changed me a lot. I started craving women's clothes, particularly dresses, skirts and blouses, buttons or no buttons. This is my revelation in an online chat from 21st February 2022: "I have a LUST for buttons, but I have LOVE for girly clothes."

 

I would then still put my men's shirt with delicate mother of pearl buttons over a sexy blouse without buttons. But not for much longer. The next revelation was that buttons no longer meant as much to me without some lovely girly clothes. I said in a chat on 7th March 2022: "Now the gurl inside me took over completely, so instead of lust for buttons I now follow love for pretty girly clothes." If only I knew...

 

I did dress up for camera a few times for captive audience. It was even more fun when we both dressed up and tried different things on. I've even been out in public, as it shows in my photostream. Yet I still consider myself closeted, my nearest and dearest don't have a clue.

 

On 23rd March the next revelation came to me. I am not a crossdresser. I am a woman. This revelation brought me inner peace. It feels so right. But I'm not going to transition. I'm at peace with my male body, and I'm happy to use my male equipment for physical pleasure. I'm not offended if people say I'm not a woman but merely "a man in a dress". Technically I am. But I know the truth. The deep truth inside me.

 

I've been thinking about my name for a while. Aurora came to mind, the real name of Sleeping Beauty. But I soon realised that that wasn't the case originally. It was Walt Disney that named her Aurora. I've found out that in an older version she was called Talia. I quite like the name. Also, it's not too fancy. So on 26th March I've finally made up my mind, and that's now my name. (Not of my official documents, but who cares.)

 

I am Talia.

 

Was this my final revelation and change? All I can say is: So far.

  

Details you probably don't want to read: [Can't be bothered right now, I'll edit it later.]

 

I had fetish for buttons for almost all my life. I've always had a fear of buttons (koumpounophobia), which I kept secret, but as a child I'd run and scream if you tried to make me wear something with buttons.

 

As an almost teenager I became intrigued about buttons, I found them exciting, which I kept even more secret. I had wet dreams about buttons and once, unexpectedly, while looking at buttoned clothes in a catalogue, I got very excited and ended up "getting high" and wetting the bed with sticky substance, confused about what had just happened. Later I realised that was an orgasm. I liked the feeling though, and the climax at the end, so I carried on, in secret of course.

 

Since then I have largely overcome my fear and am able without difficulty to wear clothes with bright shiny buttons with 2 holes (cup buttons and delicate mother of pearl), which I have always found the scariest and at the same time the most exciting.

 

I still can't freely talk about clothing buttons. I'm finding it difficult to say the word "button", especially if I refer to clothing buttons.

 

I always found women's clothes tended to have more exciting buttons: 2 holes rather than 4 (dome buttons with shanks are nice as well), smooth and shiny, larger quantity, more unusual places, different sizes than normal for the type of garment. For example, men's shirts will typically have 7 buttons down the front, and they're typically 11mm or near. Similar with polos and henleys, except it's almost always 3 buttons. Men's pyjama tops (traditional type) will typically have 4 big buttons. Men's jeans with button fly will pretty much always have buttons covered. Now look at the variety of buttons on blouses, and then there are buttoned skirts and dresses, which is by many thought of as for women only.

 

Until recently, I've been trying to find men's clothes with more exciting buttons. I wanted to find dressing gowns that were not fancy looking and would have buttons on the right. I wanted to replace boring buttons on my shirts (4 holes, textured, colour matched...) with smooth shiny white 2-hole cup buttons. Finding henleys with more buttons. And so on... But most of it was just thinking and window shopping.

 

But since I discovered the joys of wearing dresses, with or without buttons, my priorities have changed. And I have changed.
