For several years, I was unable to post videos here for whatever reason. They just wouldn't upload, so I gave up until recently, when I attempted again and discovered success. So I'm now rolling out over some time here videos that have previously only been available on my YouTube channel.
Here is one of the most recent videos I've posted on YouTube, from my last fully en femme occasion on March 7, 2022. The video link had previously been shared as www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gmuAath68M&t=31s, and you're still welcome of course to go, view, and comment/like there. But I might as well take advantage of video uploading on flickr finally working for me here.
As described a little more in a relatively recent (4/22/22) Update posted in my Flickr profile (at flickr.com/people/99244229@N04/), I had my first opportunity to be fully en femme since before the pandemic. I've rolled out pics from this day, March 7, 2022, when I tried out a couple ensembles never before modeled. It was so great to finally re-engage myself as Grace again!
As usual, I really enjoy coordinating attractive/sexy/cute outfits, and this one features:
* an Orsuncer "ombre platinum blonde" 26"-long wavy wig with bangs and black roots, from amazon;
* Steve Madden black "Quinne" quilted-leather zip-up platform ultra-high-heel ankle booties, from DSW (an old purchase, but I'd never taken pics in them til now);
* a Forever 21 black/multicolor floral-print-mesh bodycon cami-strap minidress, with black-slip lining, a straight-cut neckline, a shirred bodice, and lettuce-hem;
* a Mangopop black square-neck long-sleeve snap-closure tanga-bottom cotton bodysuit, from amazon;
* a Taffeta Alley black PU-leather 2.76"-wide waist belt with double-prong buckle, and 8-row silver eyelets, from amazon;
* WeLoveColors black fishnet tights;
* a black neck scarf;
* a Betseyville black quilted-leather silver-hardware handbag, from JC Penney;
* Kiss imPRESS press-on french-tip fingernails, from Walmart;
* a silver/clear rhinestone-embellished lariat-design layered necklace with Y-front chain, from Forever 21; and
* silver/black bracelets, watch, rings, necklace, and hoop earrings.
More about this and other 2017-22 pics and videos has been written up in my profile or "About" page here on Flickr. It details some choices made for these 2017-22 pics and videos.

The second full day of our visit on Long Island we have started very early with a sunrise at a beach. Our friend was wonderful enough to get up way before dawn to drive us to the Beach at Smith Point. We were told the ocean was unusually quiet that day (must have been trying to behave for our benefit ;D) which was a bit of a bummer, because I was hoping for some nice waves (me and my obsession with waves.. see the album of pictures from Spain ;D). Regardless, it was a wonderful morning, even without spectacular sky or dramatic waves. I saw a lot of sea creatures, I have never seen before with my own eyes (such as horseshoe crab, a small shark, clams etc.. ) and, as always, was happy, just to soak the ocean breeze, take a walk to gather some shells and listen to the sounds the waves made... All in all, definitely, not a bad way to start a day :D
Comments always appreciated - I love to hear your feedback! xx
The last of the January photos. I've managed to catch up a bit over the last few days for a change - it is always so easy to fall behind and build up a backlog.
One of my current faves, this grey dress is simple but sexy. One of the first dresses to go in my suitcase if I'm going away for a weekend anywhere.
Speaking of which, I have to go and get ready now for a weekend in Birmingham. I hope you all have a great weekend too, whatever you are doing! xx
COMMENT IF YOU FAVE
I decide I wanted to make a new Batman figure since the one I made for the DC project is not great. This one and the figs following this one are inspired by 2 things. The DCAU suit primarily the suits worn in The New Batman Adventures as well as the Arkham games.
The legs have e-tape boots and the knee pads are painted. The underwear (overwear?) was something I went back and forth on but I decided I’d do it cause it’s just that iconic. The belt is made of of varies bits of paper, plastic and procreate as well as the LBM belt piece.
The torso has some sculpted muscles and I think these are much better that the other ones of the other Batman fig. The emblem is TNBA inspired and the bits on the sides are Arkham city inspired.
The arms have some e-tape gauntlets and some dry sculpted fins. It is one piece for the fins separated by painted lines.
The cowl was a 2012 cowl cut in half and the head was a head from the LBM line. The cape was a regular LEGO cape.
Thanks for all your nice comments and visits!!! Took this on my 3 hour hike on Friday~~MA;-))
The red squirrel has a typical head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm (7.5 to 9 in), a tail length of 15 to 20 cm (5.9 to 7.9 in) and a mass of 250 to 340 g (8.8 to 12 oz). It is not sexually dimorphic, as males and females are the same size. The red squirrel is somewhat smaller than the eastern grey squirrel which has a head-and-body length of 25 to 30 cm (9.5 to 12 in) and weighs between 400 and 800 g (14 oz to 1.8 lb). It is thought that the long tail helps the squirrel to balance and steer when jumping from tree to tree and running along branches and may keep the animal warm during sleep.
The coat of the red squirrel varies in colour with time of year and location. There are several different coat colour morphs ranging from black to red. Red coats are most common in Great Britain; in other parts of Europe and Asia different coat colours co-exist within populations, much like hair colour in some human populations. The underside of the squirrel is always white-cream in colour. The red squirrel sheds its coat twice a year, switching from a thinner summer coat to a thicker, darker winter coat with noticeably larger ear-tufts (a prominent distinguishing feature of this species) between August and November. A lighter, redder overall coat colour, along with the larger ear-tufts (in adults) and much smaller size, distinguish the Eurasian red squirrel from the American eastern grey squirrel.
The red squirrel, like most tree squirrels, has sharp, curved claws to enable it to climb and descend broad tree trunks, thin branches and even house walls. Its strong hind legs enable it to leap gaps between trees.The red squirrel also has the ability to swim.

Alarmed by the gun shots fired off the Gotham Bridge, the GCPD soon arrived. A spotlight was shined up on the point where the shots where fired from to reveal a man in a leather jacket and a red helmet, holding a decapitated head in a bag. "Hello people of Gotham! I am the Red Hood! I am here to take this city back from the corrupt, such as this man!" The Red Hood held up the bag "Carmine Falcone! Gotham's head businessman and crime lord! He ran this city in his grasp. Which I have freed you from!" He tossed the head down
"Mr. uh... Hood? Please step down from the bridge or we will shoot you!" A police officer yelled up at him
The Hood aimed his gun down at the cop, and then shifted his aim to the police car's gas tank. He pulled the trigger, blowing up the car and everyone near it. He did the same thing to the other cars, killing all of the police officers, and several civilians.
"You have been freed from your corrupted ruler and police force! All the other corrupt shall follow! Take back your city Gotham! Take back your city."

Durante el reinado de Sancho VII "el Fuerte" (finales del s.XII, inicios del s.XIII) se construyó en Olite un primer castillo defensivo, sobre un núcleo de época romana. Posteriormente, este fue mejorándose bajo el reinado de sus sucesores Teobaldo I y Teobaldo II, de la casa de Champagne. Este primer recinto es conocido como Palacio Viejo o Palacio de los Teobaldos, y es donde se ubica el Parador Nacional. En su disposición interna actual no queda ningún vestigio de aquella época. Los reyes de Navarra solían acudir a él de manera esporádica, al igual que a las otras residencias repartidas por el viejo reino. Cada monarca tenía preferencias por determinadas mansiones, pero ninguna podía considerarse como su residencia fija. Este carácter "nómada" comenzó a desaparecer con Carlos II "el Malo" (segunda mitad del s.XIV) cuando, una vez fracasados sus intentos por hacerse con la corona de Francia (1360), decidió centrarse en el gobierno de su reino, siempre en continua alerta ante los constantes ataques de castellanos y aragoneses. Se sabe también que durante esta época, existían dos palacios menores contiguos, uno de los cuales correspondía al Infante Luis, hermano y lugarteniente de Carlos II.
Las obras de ampliación que dieron lugar al recinto que hoy conocemos, se realizaron durante el reinado de Carlos III "el Noble", de la casa de los Evreux. Aunque nacido en Francia, la mayor parte de su juventud la pasó en Olite, lo que explica su predilección por esta villa. Durante sus primeros años de reinado se vio obligado a resolver la compleja herencia política de su padre, pero una vez hecho esto, pudo desarrollar una vida cortesana plena y llena de esplendor, propio de un reinado estable. Los primeros trabajos fueron obras de reparación: tejados, pintura, etc.. El siguiente paso consistió en resolver el problema de la falta de espacio. Así, en 1388 se compraron una serie de casas y solares para hacer una plaza (Plaza de los Teobaldos) que ofreciera delante del palacio un acceso mas amplio y digno. Se trataba todavía del Palacio Viejo. Posteriormente, se decidió la ampliación del palacio con nuevas construcciones. Durante esta época se produjo un hecho que influyó decisivamente en la posterior evolución de las obras. Y es que, al poco de casarse el rey Carlos III con Leonor de Trastámara, esta lo abandonó regresando a su tierra natal, Castilla. Todos los intentos por hacerla regresar fueron en vano. Independientemente de las más que seguras connotaciones políticas de esta actitud, la reina Leonor argumentaba su negativa a regresar con su marido, manifestando que en Navarra disponía de escasos recursos económicos, y que además sentía peligrar su vida. Así pues, sólo cuando el rey Carlos ofreció las garantías suficientes al hermano de esta, el rey Juan I de Castilla, de que las peticiones de Leonor serían atendidas, esta regresó a Navarra. Esto sucedió en marzo de 1395. El empeño del rey en cumplir sus promesas, se tradujo en un repentino impulso a los trabajos de reforma y mejora del palacio. Es su ánimo estaba el de rodear a su esposa de un ambiente cortesano lo mas acogedor posible. En 1399 se adquieren mas solares por la parte de la Iglesia de Santa María, para edificar nuevas habitaciones para la reina, y en 1400, con el fin de proceder a la ampliación de estas, se vuelven a comprar casas y solares de la judería vecina. La edificación de este Palacio Nuevo la afrontó Carlos III sin ningún esquema premeditado de conjunto, y por tanto, el resultado final se corresponde con una yuxtaposición de nuevas unidades, edificios y jardines. La primera fase del palacio comprendió las habitaciones para la reina, denominado Palacio de la Reina o Torre Nueva, la capilla real y algunos locales y pasajes menores hacia la parte norte de la iglesia. En una segunda fase, se emprendieron las construcciones del conocido como Palacio del Rey. En él se integraban una Gran Torre, apoyada sobre el muro de cierre de la villa, y la llamada Galería Dorada. Estas obras estaban terminadas para el año 1406. Una pequeña torrecilla junto a la Gran Torre, dos nuevas galerías y el arreglo de los jardines, fueron las obras que se ejecutaron a continuación. Entre los años 1411 y 1414 se completó la edificación de las torres exteriores del palacio: la Ochavada, la Joyosa Guarda, la del Portal de Fenedo y la de los Cuatro Vientos. El conjunto estaba prácticamente terminado y su fisonomía era casi definitiva. Sólo faltaban algunas estancias menores, que se construyeron de acuerdo a las nuevas exigencias o al ritmo de las oportunas reparaciones. Las últimas renovaciones de importancia se realizaron a finales del s.XV a cargo de Catalina de Foix y Juan III de Albret. Y ya por último, habiendo dejado de ser Navarra un reino independiente, el marqués de Almazán introdujo hacia el año 1584, algunos cambios, como la portada de entrada al Palacio Viejo coronada por un blasón que hace referencia a Felipe II.
During the reign of Sancho VII "the Strong" (late twelfth century, the beginning of the XIII century) was built a castle in Olite defensive over a core of Roman times. Later this was improved during the reign of his successors Theobald Theobald I and II, the Champagne house. The first area is known as the Old Palace or Palace of Tybalt, and which houses the Parador Nacional. In its current internal layout is not any trace of the time. The kings of Navarre used to come to him sporadically, as well as other residences scattered throughout the Old Kingdom. Each monarch had preferences for certain houses, but none could be considered his permanent residence. This character "nomadic" began to disappear with Charles II "the Bad" (second half of XIV century) where, after unsuccessful attempts to seize the crown of France (1360), decided to focus on the government of his kingdom, always constantly alert to the constant attacks of Castile and Aragon. We also know that during this time, there were two smaller palaces contiguous, one of which corresponded to the Infante Luis, brother and lieutenant of Charles II.
The expansion work that led to the compound we know today, were made during the reign of Charles III "the Glorious", the house of Evreux. Although born in France, most of his youth was spent in Olite, which explains his preference for this town. During his early reign was forced to resolve the complex political heritage of his father, but once done, could develop a full court life and full of grandeur, typical of a stable kingdom. The first works were works of repair: Roof, paint, etc. .. The next step was to solve the problem of lack of space. Thus, in 1388 bought a number of houses and plots for a square (Plaza de los Teobaldos) front of the palace to offer wider access and dignified. It was still the old palace. Later, it was decided the extension of the palace with new construction. During this time, there was an event that decisively influenced the further evolution of the works. And, soon after King Charles III married Eleanor of Trastámara, this left him returning to his native Castile. All attempts to bring her back were in vain. Regardless of the more than certain political connotations of this attitude, Queen Eleanor argued his refusal to return to her husband, stating that in Navarra economic resources were limited, and that was also life-threatening. Thus, only when King Charles gave the assurance to her brother, King Juan I of Castile, Leonor that requests would be addressed, this returned to Navarre. This happened in March 1395. The king's efforts to fulfill its promise, resulting in a sudden impulse to the work of reform and improvement of the palace. Is your mood was that of his wife surround a court environment as pleasant as possible. In 1399 more lots are purchased by the Church of Santa Maria, to build new rooms for the queen, and in 1400, to proceed with the extension of these, turn to buy homes and neighboring solar Jewry . The building of the New Palace of Carlos III faced no premeditated scheme as a whole, and therefore the final result corresponds to a juxtaposition of new units, buildings and gardens. The first phase saw the rooms of the palace for the queen, called Queen's Palace or New Tower, the royal chapel and some minor local and passages to the north of the church. In a second phase, we undertook the construction of so-called Palace of the King. It integrates a large tower, resting on the enclosing wall of the town, and called Golden Gallery. These works were completed by the year 1406. A small turret next to the Great Tower, two new galleries and the arrangement of the gardens were works to be executed next. Between 1411 and 1414, completed the building of the outer towers of the palace: the Ochavada the Joyosa Guarda, Fenedo the Portal and the Four Winds. The set was almost over and his face was almost final. There were only some smaller rooms, which were built according to new requirements or the rate of appropriate repairs. The last major renovation took place in the late fifteenth century by Catherine de Foix and John III d'Albret. And finally, having ceased to be an independent kingdom Navarre, Marquis of Almazan introduced by the year 1584, some changes such as the front entrance to the Old Palace topped by a coat of arms referred to Philip II.
