I had to go to my recreational property last weekend to mow the lawnand generally spend all weekend working on it.I thought it would be fun to take some girly clothes and my camera with me.I like this knit dress,it hugs the body and helps show off whatever curves I have.
A floral print dress with a cloth ribbon belt was selected by Ms. Essay to wear to her bi-weekly nail appointment in early April. This pose was captured while she sat on one corner of the living room’s sectional sofa with her smartphone camera set for a time-delayed exposure and clamped to a photographer’s tripod.
This seated pose of her recently purchased green mini-dress was captured in the late afternoon while Ms. Essay sat on the edge of her living room’s L-shaped sectional sofa. On this mostly cloudy day, a vague silhouette of Ms. Essay can be faintly seen on the back wall over her left shoulder.
A few moments later, Ms. Essay would position herself in front of her tripod-mounted smartphone to participate in a Zoom committee meeting convened by the Missouri History Museum for their upcoming 2023 Gateway to Pride Exhibit.

It's only been 9 days.... and I'm starting to get antsy already! Got through so much on Netflix, Hulu, iplayer and Prime... played my Xbox to death, practiced some make up and now I'm running out of stuff to do around the house.
What's everyone else doing to pass the time?
Nervously looking forward to my first day at work!
The outfit has been chosen* (enjoyable, but not at all easy...!) and now I'm hoping for a good nights rest.
12 hours and counting...
* This is not the outfit. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise ;-)
In late May 2022, the St. Louis Gender Foundation received a request from a local non-profit social service agency for a transgender presentation as part of a two-day June training program for their developmentally disabled young adult clients. In early June, Ms. Essay met via Zoom with representatives of the non-profit and four (4) photos were earlier uploaded to Flickr related to that on-line Zoom presentation planning meeting.
Ms. Essay was asked to present on the afternoon of Day #2 of the two-day training schedule. To better understand the context of the training as well as get some insight as to the ability of these developmentally disabled young adults to understand concepts of personal identity. Ms. Essay was offered the opportunity to observe in-person the first day (Day #1) of the two-days of training.
This seated pose shows that for Day #2, Ms. Essay chose to wear a long silvery-white sleeveless and belted print dress with white patent leather pumps. In her presentation, Ms. Essay continued the theme of “identity” that was started by other presenters in Day #1. In her talk, Ms. Essay uplifted our personal identifies related to gender (masculine, feminine, androgynous), sex (male, female, intersex) and sexuality (straight, gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, asexual). Ms. Essay also shared her past “coming out” as transgender experiences with co-workers, family and friends.
On the cold November Fall evening scheduled for the monthly dinner gathering of the St. Louis Gender Foundation (StLGF), Ms. Essay chose to wear to the event her black half-sleeve sweater dress detailed with white horizontal bands on the skirting and sleeves.
This profile / sideways pose displays the form-fitting appearance of this knit dress.
During the course of five (5) consecutive weekdays, Ms. Essay uploaded to Flickr this series of photos related to an August 8th on-line meeting via Zoom. For that “virtual” meeting she wore a romper to test the notion that participants in video chats do not really know what other participants are wearing below the waist.
After the third (3 of 5) photo of this series was uploaded to Flickr, two (2) followers requested a seated pose of Ms. Essay wearing the romper. One follower asked generally for a cross-legged pose while seated, and the other follower wanted a seated pose specifically on the living room sofa/.
Usually, Ms. Essay does not create new poses from requests, however, for these two specific requests, the poses already existed as out-takes from the photos captured back in August. So, that photo related to the general request for a crossed-leg seated pose now appears here for that follower, and everyone else, to see.
I am now fulltime!
Yes, my male life has finally been cast aside and I am now living fulltime as Siân.
At work on Friday, I announced that when I return to work on 27th August, following my two week summer holiday, I would be presenting as a woman.
And that evening I took off my male clothes for the last time and have no intention of putting them on again.
My return to work is going to be a BIG day, I'm fully aware. I'm hoping that the adjustment for everyone will be relatively quick but, of course, I just don't know.
Thanks for reading
