you saw it here first: buds on an almond tree ready to burst open. i took this shot early this morning, January 14th, while there was still a bit of frost.
Today I was blessed that my sweet friend Antonia Anto of Countdown La Mode gifted me several of her gorgeous designs... how could I not take a picture in her beautiful Libra gown which with the scales I have my needed balance, and for my sweet girlfriend Giselle Chauveau I made myself an "earthy" Libra!
Thank you so much Antonia!
During 2010, I became steadily more confident about my modelling.
I began to choose more revealing dresses, higher heels and glam accessories, with an eye on looking as provocative and seductive as possible. I began to buy and wear outfits designed for strippers and burlesque dancers. I also began collecting outrageous platform sandals - the kind worn by pole-dancers - some of which had eight- and nine-inch spike heels. It was very exciting to discover that there was an audience out there who enjoyed seeing me model such brazenly erotic attire. In short, I had discovered that I was a born exhibitionist!
I began to seek out dresses with very short skirts - dresses that would show off my legs - as I had realised that these were my best feature. This previously unposted picture is taken from a shoot that proved very popular, featuring this white lace micro-mini bodycon dress - worn over sheer-to-waist pantyhose. The same dress also reappeared the next year, in one of my first outdoor shoots.
Enjoy! I know did!!!
Lots more to come soon!
Love and Kisses to All!!

Jeffry and Marsha were able to get upstairs, careful to ‘obey’ the stairway rule. They laughed as they went, discussing what would now happen to them if they did go up the down staircase. “We’d probably get a detention or something like that,” Marsha commented.
“At least it wouldn’t be as bad as having to write 1,000 times ‘I must not chew gum in class’ like I had to do in 5th grade. That was murder!” Jeffry was one to occasionally chew gum in school, even though he knew it was against the rules. But he tried it one day, just to ‘test’ the teacher. After that experience, he never disobeyed a school rule.
As they entered what was Mr. Mitri’s Math classroom, they were surprised to see it almost like it was ten years ago! “My, things haven’t changed much in this room. I remember the E = mc2, and how Mr. Mitri tried to explain physics to us. It was a Senior’s Math class, but still, that should have been something in the Science Department’s area.”
Marsha countered, “But remember what Mr. Mitri said about Math? He said that Mathematics was the language of Science. If you know your Math, you knew your Science.”
“So he had you indoctrinated as well, huh?” Jeffry kidded back. “I remember him telling us that, and to a degree, he was right, for in all the science classes I had in college we always used some Math.”
“And to think, this room was not only used by Mr. Mitri for Math, but also Mr. Beaker used it for Chemistry. Remember how often we wondered if they had rotten eggs or something when we came to class one day? It smelled awful.” Marsha held her nose just thinking about that day.
Jeffry inhaled and said, “You know, that smell is still around. Unless that’s how ghosts smell!”
They both laughed, knowing it was Halloween and all.
But some ghosts were offended by that comment.
You at least deserve to see what photo Doc took from his camera once the gems were restored and the ghosts given their honorable positions of Gardians of the Graveyard. (Don't let Peter Quill, and Rocket and Groot find out about their positions here!)
Thank you for your visits, comments, and faves. I truly appreciate your loyalty.
Stay tuned for the "Elf Off the Shelf" coming between Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Countdown to Halloween
“Mayday! Mayday! This is Captain Estubing on the Shrimp Boat. Do you read me?”
Radio static.
“Mayday! Mayday! I’m located about 1 mile out from shore. Rough waters. Do you read me?”
Radio static.
“MAYDAY! MAYDAY! I see the beam from the lighthouse. Do you read me?”
Radio static.
“This is Petty Officer Third Class Gozman. Do you read...”
Radio static.
Countdown to Halloween
“Come with me to my workshop and we’ll get a container made and fill it with musical instruments. My wagon is here.”
“I’m not so sure about this idea of yours. After all, we just met, in a tavern, it’s late, and I had six beers.”
“I counted eight.”
“I lost track after four. Anyway, do you really think this idea will work? I mean, tricking those musicians with fake instruments isn’t a good idea. They’ll see right through this plan like a ghost on a windy night.”
“Like I told you. I know someone who knows someone who knows about a thing or two about making a decoy, so that by the time they figure out what the story is, you’ll be long gone.”
“But won’t they find me?”
“Only if you keep wearing that yellow raincoat. You may have to ditch it and find some other costume to wear for Halloween. I never wore the same thing from one Halloween to another.”
“But what should I wear?”
“Why not be a musician? That way, you can act just as disappointed as the rest of them.”
“But what instrument should I play?”
“How about a shoehorn?”
At least four ex-N&W GP9s from the Hampton and Branchville were shipped over to PowerRail for scrapping. Now there are only two of these left, and their time is short.
Wesson catches something in the corner of his eye. No, it's not a piece of sawdust coming from his brain! He stops in front of the Bank Building as he thought he saw something. But then, he realized it was late at night, the bank is closed, so no one would be there. It was only his reflection. Or was it?

Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!
This will be the last photo I will be able to post before Christmas but I will be around to visit you today before the busy holiday weekend begins for me.
New crop thanks to leprou for the suggestion!
Countdown to Halloween
“I’ve got to find my informant! But how?”
After ditching his sword and wings, he walked in the dark for a while. Then he comes up with an idea. “I’ll find a tavern and listen to the talk of the town. Perhaps there I will get some information. Besides, all this excitement has made my hungry, and I might be able to grab something to eat, like a good fish sandwich or something. And maybe something to drink. Yes, something to drink. That’s what I really need.”
Two more blocks and he discovers a tavern. “It’s still open, and I hear music! Just what my ailing spirit needs. Oh, wait. I am a spirit! But this spirit gets hungry and thirsty, too!”
Literally moments after leaving work, I find myself on a bridge shooting an IC SD40-2 rolling into the yard, bringing a BNSF bonga, a broken ex-IC GP38-2, and a DIT CN SD40-2W. What the hell is going on here?
CN A408 drags its way into the Champaign yard with the rear two units out of service, making the old EMD and the new GEVO work hard to bring in all 600 axles of the slog freight.
Looking back to 2019 (only last year!) I found this unposted image, taken during a trip to Victoria Park with other members of the Brick Lane Posse. I say "unposted", but I did in fact include a cropped and re-edited version of this image in my retrospective video of 2019. So apologies if you consider this to be a re-post. At least you can see my legs and boots in this version!
Anyway, this picture is a very pleasant memento of happy summer days with the girls - which I hope will be back before too long!
Stay safe and stay well, everyone!
Love and Kisses to all my Friends and Fans!

Countdown to Halloween
“It’s working!” Wanda said with delight. “Do you see the movement?”
“Yes,” Sam agreed, but with a little hesitancy. “I see the one moving, but what about the other one?”
“I’ll switch over to that one.” Wanda clicked a few keys on her keyboard and the display showed another trace on the map.
Ursula observed, “Your back up plan worked, Sam. Good thinking.”
“I knew I had a snitch in the group. That’s why I didn’t say anything of that second tracking device I planted in that container.”
“But how did you know it was him?” Wanda asked.
“Simple deduction,” Sam winked as he also smiled. “His name gave me the clue.”
“Petty Officer Third Class Gozman?” Wanda and Ursula said simultaneously.
“Gozman...Ghostman. I had that figured out from the beginning!”
Ian Fleming could only observe in silence.
By March 2020, I will have been posting here on Flickr for eleven years! So I thought it was time to do a year-by-year retrospective of my past - focusing particularly on images that represented a modelling breakthrough or other new departure for me at the time.
This dress and pose are from the autumn of my first year on Flickr. This was a time when I was still completely astonished that there were people who liked my pictures and wanted to follow me. But it was also a time when I was starting to gain more confidence in my posing, make-up and fashion choices - and was beginning to experiment a little more when in front of the camera. Modelling this orange dress from Boohoo produced a fair number of usable images - especially when I stretched out my legs like this on the sofa!
It's fun to pull one of the unused images from this shoot out of the archives - and share it here for the very first time!
Lots more to come soon!
Love and Kisses to All!!

The big event of 2014 was my wedding shoot - my first professionally-styled set of pictures. I decided to use my wedding pictures as a way of further developing my fictional alter-ego of Lady Rebecca, who - by marrying Lord Lyndon, the Duke of Basingstoke - suddenly became an extremely wealthy (and extremely snobby) Duchess!
Rebecca's wedding to Lord Percy Lyndon opened up a whole gamut of fictional possibities and characters: the libertarian, Female Supremacist and very snooty Sodality of the Sisterhood of Pleasure; Lady Rebecca's top-drawer, blue-bloods-only brothel (The Salon); Her Ladyship's adoring but intimidating Lesbian housekeeper Mrs Danvers; Her Ladyship's artistically-inclined gamekeeper-lover Seth Melling... and many others. Marriage simply opened-up Lady Rebecca's pathway to becoming a shameless adulteress and cuckoldress - she didn't even permit her groom to accompany her on her honeymoon! And all this essentially happened because I wanted to give a plausible reason why I was suddenly posting pictures of myself in a wedding dress....
Toodle Pip!
Love and Kisses to All!!!

Lugosi entered the building and found the round containers, each one tumbling clothing inside. He peers into each one, looking for a pair of pants and possibly a shirt. He sees one of each and now has to figure out how to open the containers. He has never seen a wardrobe bouncing clothing around like this before.

During 2013, I started to experiment with close-ups, unusual camera angles, and with cropping and filter effects that might give my pictures the look of the fashion magazines that I longed to emulate.
In the spring of 2013, I stumbled on the 'over-the-head' close-up - taken whilst lying on my bed, looking up at the camera. I liked the results, and took (and posted!) a lot more similar images. They became some of the most popular pictures I had posted up to that time, and they received a lot of favourable comments.
Here is a previously unposted shot from my first 'over the head' shoot, on which I have lavished all the experience I now have with presenting these images.
Love and Kisses to All!!!

2011 was the year I linked up (through Flickr) with a fabulous and supportive group of other t-girls, and so had opportunities to socialize and get out-and-about as a member of this very cool posse. I was also able to participate in photo-shoots in public places, out in the open air.
This particular pic is from a shoot in Richmond Park, during one of my earliest days out with the girls. I think the feeling of liberation and happiness which I experienced on these excursions comes across very clearly in this picture - and in many others from this set. A number of other pics from this shoot are included in my compilation video from that time, "When Girls Do It..!" - which is still available to view right here on my photo-stream!
Love and Kisses to All!

Just beside the city of Dhaka these brick factories are silently destroying the environment with the clouds of smoke it exhales from the countless number of chimneys. The river Ganges [Buriganga] is already highly contaminated with oil and other industrial waste. The water has turned black and virtually no water being exists in these parts [around Dhaka] of the river.
It is time to turn around and try restoring what we have lost.
Explored!

OK, it may have been overcast and Wintery like today, but I still think it's a tad too early to be buying Christmas Cards!

Just then, Mr. Hangar comes and sees Mr. Mitri who was just approaching Marsha and Jeffry. “So, what do you think of the decorations?” Mr. Mitri wondered. Of course, he predicted what others would say having transformed this old gymnasium into a great Homecoming Halloween Dance Hall.
“Simply great!” Marsha exclaimed.
Jeffry added, “You outdid yourself, Mr. Mitri. Did you have help?”
“Oh, I did have the help of some of the faculty, including your old principal. After all,” he glanced and saw Mr. Hangar now standing there and joining the conversation, “Clyfford and I worked on this since the day the new high school opened.”
“That’s right, guys,” Mr. Hangar agreed. “Giovanni and I talked a lot about how to use this old building after the new high school was built. We didn’t want it to remain empty and unused, so we’ve changed it into a dance hall, and people can use the old classrooms for club meetings. You probably saw the old science and math rooms, right? We still use them for after school learning sessions. It’s working out well.”
Marsha and Jeffry looked at each other and they could tell they were putting two and two together. Mr. Hangar’s first name was Clyfford and Mr. Mitri’s name was Giovanni. Shorten their names and…
“After all these years,” Jeffry admitted, “I never knew your first names until tonight. Even the yearbooks only had you identified as Mr. Hangar and Mr. Mitri. Now I know why.”
Marsha’s eyes widened when Jeffry explained to her how their names would make any student a little leery about being in school. While Mr. Gio Mitri for a Math teacher wasn’t too bad, having Mr. Clyff Hangar for a substitute teacher and principal would be a bit unnerving. Mrs. Spellnick’s name was simple enough, and the two of them were wondering if she would be present at this evening’s dance as well.
“Do you know if Mrs. Spellnick is here tonight?” Jeffry asked nervously.
“You mean Miss Spellnick, right?” Mr. Hangar corrected. “She was never married, but she didn’t want the students to think of her as a misspelling.”
Both Jeffry and Marsha groaned at this rather humorous revelation of their names.
“Say, do you know where Robby went?” Mr. Hangar asked. “I have to tell him to cue up one of the displays for the last song. He told me he could do it from his keypad.”
“I think he’s over by the band,” Marsha directed. “I see he’s with…” her voice stopped midsentence. She couldn’t believe her eyes.
Hi all! ♥
I want to apologize for my long absence these days. Within 15 days I move to another country to live with a friend and we both are very nervous, busy and stressed! So I am not being able to log in SL, and make a post takes a long time, and I do not have that time. I am so sorry, I promise to be back very soon working as hard as usual!
Big kiss for you all!
