Land of Hope and Glory
‘Land of hope and glory, mother of the free
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet’
A few disappointed punters on the Swansea to Sunderland ‘Brexit Express’. I’m not sure if this gentleman supported ‘Leave’ or ‘Remain’ but he seemed very happy and is following standard procedure for Brits in a crisis; ‘keep calm and carry on’...
I wonder if the passengers all wanted to ‘leave’ the train at different destinations, or ended up ‘remaining’ on the train for longer than expected?
The train was to be a celebration of the U.K. leaving the EU at the end of the Article 50 process that was scheduled for 23:00 on 29th March 2019.

Natural or all made up? What's your preference in life? Unfortunately I don't think we women often get a chance to decide. How many tabloids out there fight to capture images of celebs without make up on so they can make fun of them? How many guys say "I love when you don't wear make up" and don't realize that you just have the minimum on, for you know you'd be judged if you had literally nothing on. We let society decide how we look when we leave the house, and unfortunately, you almost can't resist unless you're ready for criticism.
I don't wear this much make up every day. This is a lot for me. Today I decided to compare myself completely bare to made up a bit, to really see what the difference is. Amazingly, and yet not really shockingly, I'm more a fan of the girl on the right. But it's only because I have it ingrained in my mind that she's the me that's "beautiful" according to societal standards. We can use magic to transform ourselves.
I know there's debates about this. There are people who use make up to "highlight" your beauty, and people who do it for special ocassions, or people who just do it for fun, etc. I'm not saying it's bad, and it's just a personal opinion, but I do think there's a fair amount of judgement laid on women who go out of the house au naturale...and I just wish there wasn't. I wish everyone thought they were beautiful no matter how much makeup they had on.

I got such a good deal on my Carry-on trailer last year. It's been such a blessing to have for my business. I had a friend help me years ago with my logos. I'm really happy with that too. :D

Of your feet upon the ground

I’m posting this unedited video from May 2017 as it captures me in a vulnerable moment yet also wanting to go through with stepping out in public dressed as a woman. I was truly torn between real terror and a burning desire to do it.
The backstory to this moment had been building for years. I have always been frightened, indeed terrified, at the prospect of stepping out in public dressed as a woman. I felt far more relaxed and comfortable dressing alone in private in the safety of the home. On some subliminal level though the curiosity and desire to venture out was lurking within me.
Eventually, knowing I wasn’t getting any younger, aged 58 I decided I should at least give it a go. If it proved to be a bad experience then I could go back to my comfort zone and carryon knowing I had at least tried it. My aspirations with my male to female cross-dressing go beyond just dressing up. I genuinely have a desire to pass convincingly as a female. I do not want to be perceived as anything other than being a woman. It is a delusional ambition as I am a man and have physical limitations that work against this dream. Also, I am not feminine and lack good looks. Despite these limitations I do always enjoy my time dressed as a woman so I suppose pushing myself to try being one in a public was something was inevitably was going to try one day.
That day came in May 2017. I wanted to feel confident so I treated myself to hiring a professional make-up artist to do my hair make-up. The lovely and talented Sandra Cormack, based in Dundee in Scotland is also a friend and supportive of my love of cross-dressing as a woman. The double benefit as not only would my make-up be applied by a professional she would also accompany me on my tripod in public.
I adored the makeover shaded on me and felt absolutely amazing. I loved the look and dressed in a denim skirt, wedge heels, a pink top and black cardigan, I felt amazing! I was ready for the outside world; or was I…
Despite sans of wanting to go out in public I as still hesitating. The video captures the moment of my hesitation in getting out of the car. You will hear how Sandra gives me the impetus to step out of the car. I doubt without her gentle cajoling I would have got out. I think my nerves were shredded and I would have driven off. Thanks to her being with me, I did eventually get out of the car. Within minutes she had me going into a supermarket and buying groceries! This was beyond anything I had imagined. I envisioned a quiet stroll around the town square.
I am not going to deny I loved, absolutely loved being a woman out in a public environment and felt great in my make-up and outfit. Amazingly, the world didn’t crash in, it was all on the surface very normal though underneath I was elated.
I am sure I a not alone in my fears of venturing out in public as a woman so I’m hoping in some way the video can help encourage other cross-dressers who have the same fears and concerns I had. I acknowledge, it is a luxury to get your hair and make-up done professionally but it helped me considerably. Walking around the main square in a Perthshire town on. Warm summer late afternoon was just a beautiful moment for me. To say I was thrilled and euphoric would be understating things, I was on a genuine lifetime high. I have to express my thanks to Sandra for gently persuading me to do this.
I suppose I’m hoping by revealing my nerves in the video and eventually stepping out that the underlying thing is we can all do this if we can break the fear barrier.
I haven’t been out in public since then, this is more to do with few opportunities to cross-dress in the intervening years. I now feel the desire to venture out again building with me so I have started to make plans for a trip. I have no idea when I can actually arrange a date for it but I’m quietly excited about it as a feel more confident, despite inability to actually look like a woman, I will do the best I can though and enjoy myself in a more relaxed way than the day out back in 2017.
I definitely feel more at ease within myself now I reached age 63. Being age 58 in the video it was a lifetime of suppression and fear being lanced. I feel the next trip will be a lot less fraught emotionally and I can settle into being Helene for the day.
Fstop Tilopa Duradiamond with Medium Slope ICU and a bag of clothes and jacket wrapped up into the compact 50L package. Travelled as "carry on" easily in the overhead bin of a 737, and a wee bit more snuggly in the overhead bin of a Q-400.
It has been 13 years since I attended my first conference as Cristy and I have progressively learnt to pack efficiently. The first couple of times I brought with me two large pieces of luggage and a carryon. I was not able to wear half of the clothes, accessories and shoes I brought with me. It was not only the clothes but also padding, breast forms and figure forming garments to hold the padding in place. I guess that I wanted to wear so many things out in public but that would have taken at least two weeks.
The following years, I reduced my luggage to one large bag and a very full and heavy carryon. I still included padding and more clothes then I could possibly wear.
Since 2021, I decided not to bring my breast forms and planned my wardrobe carefully so that I could mix and match some items and maybe one extra outfit, just in case. I did bring 3 wigs with me but those are light and use little luggage space. I limited accessories to only a few sets and wore the same most of the time except for the gala. Traveling was easier and my carryon had room for gifts for the family.
I will be flying to Harrisburg this Sunday and decided to pack last night, with the help of my lovely wife, who I asked to approve the outfits. Prior to last night I had only made a pre-selection of possible clothes to bring. Keep in mind that I have not dressed for a whole year. At keystone last yer I tried wearing dresses without a bra and no hip padding. I felt liberated and taking that into consideration, plus the fact that I have gained some weight since then, I decided to not bring jeans, leggings, pants or tight dresses that would require hip padding. Basically, I packed 13 dresses, including the gala gown, two pairs of boots, three pairs of pumps and my flats. Two of the dresses are repeats from previous years. Being from a tropical country, most of my clothes are for war weather so I added several tights and scarves to help me feel warm. Three wigs, makeup a few bras and panties and I was all set. My bag weighed 37 lb. but I had not packed my purse and a clutch for the night. After adding those, my bag was well under the 50 lb. limit and my carryon was basically empty with just my laptop and a couple of sets of jewelry.
Needless to say that the dresses are loose, yet very feminine so I hope to feel good in them. This type of dress will not only free me from the hip-pads and the tight undergarments to keep them in place, but also will hide my almost 10 extra lb. from last year.
So, there will be no tight leggings with nice hips and flowing tops, like those in the photo, this time around. As I post photos upon my return, you will judge if I succeeded and it my plan worked.

It had been a moment since being on the road, but that didn't seem to matter to Han. How fitting of the tag from a previous trip to add the title.
This sweet bear lives in the San Jose California airport. He whispered take me home. So, I promised on my next visit home I will bring a carryon with room just for him! I see a display of airport bears in my near future. Stay tuned for future travels…lol! HTBT

I've a multiple choice question to go with this picture, is it....
a) We're having a beer festival in the bay this week and the ventnor comic jazz band made a guest appearance.
OR...
b) Tired of waiting for a diplomatic resolution to the hostage crisis, the island's home guard perform manoeuvres as a show of strength?

God of boundless universe, Lord who shaped me from my birth
You are there, You are there
In the glory of the stars, Vast cathedral of my heart
You are there, You are there
I'm never left on my own, Carried in the arms of Your power
I go on, 'Til the night becomes the dawn
God who rules the sky and sea, Calms the storms that rage in me
Carry on, carry on
Lord of Heaven, Lord of Earth, Lord who gives me sense of worth
Carry on, carry on
No greater King ever known, Passion was the crimson
And stain of Your robe, And I will bow before Your throne
Your love is life to me, You are my destiny
Carry on, carry on
O God of awesome might, You draw me to Your light
Carry on, carry on, carry on
My life is in Your hands
Carry on

My crescent wand, the only light
Alone against my darkest fear
But I sense my friends are near
I'll draw from each the power I need
Evil queen we will defeat!

Only six gates to it, but a different feel to this small area of the Denver Terminal compared to the endless moving sidewalks and gates.
Muerte de la metafísica.
No hay un porqué, no hay ningún qué.
Esas arcaicas preguntas no nos interesan.
Sólo existe el cómo, y el quién -
Nada más que eso nos incumbe.
