At first my idea was taking a photo of Noraa herself, but Blue decided to participate today and I think it turned out better than what I was expecting. Things are always better with cats.
Noraa wears a costume that belongs to Supergirl Barbie Collector Silver Label from 2008.
Blythe a Day. January 2026. Day 30.
My attempt at taking another moon shot in the early evening tonight. The sky was actually still light blue when I took this.
I realize this is abuse of image processing software, but what-the-heck... It started as a blurry ICM shot of a speeding freight train. I boosted color and contrast then transformed the shape with the liquify tool in Photoshop Elements. I hope it works for Sliders Sunday.
So my new toy is the Metabones Speed Booster. It's expensive. It's worth every penny if you (1) have a lot of manual lenses that you would like to use with, and also possess, a (2) Sony NEX camera.
I've started a thread over at Mflenses to test and document compatibility, issues, etc: forum.mflenses.com/metabones-speed-booster-test-thread-t5...
Chap sitting outside the EICC (Edinburgh International Conference Centre), which has once more been pressed into service as a vaccination centre, especially for booster shots. I had my own there a couple of weeks ago, on my birthday of all days. It felt odd to me to be in one of the huge main halls as that's normally where I am for the annual comic con here - I'm used to seeing it with at least half a dozen Harley Quinn cosplayers walking around the space, not medical personnel!
Being a man that dresses up as a woman is, for me, an amazing, incredibly liberating and truly adventurous experience. I love becoming a woman! I love nothing more than putting on make-up, painting my nails, wearing dresses and high heels, it is such a thrilling and delightful sense of freedom. As a woman I feel an inner contentment, a stronger sense of self worth and a real boost to my confidence. I just feel better appearing as a woman than I do as a man.
That may sound like I desperately need to transition but I definitely do not. I do feel more myself appearing in the guise of a woman but I am aware it is all an illusion. I am not a genetic female and I live as a man. I have to acknowledge I am indulging in superficial aspects of femininity, the make-up, the hair, the dresses and the high heel shoes. Wearing these is not in reality the same as actually being a woman. In fact I do have fears that my cross-dressing is offensive to real women. I do have a desire within me to be a female, it has always existed but it is not dominant enough to make me transition. I do need though, to spend time appearing as a woman as part of me gains emotional fulfilment from this.
There is an excitement I experience in the act of daring to cast off my male self and present as a female. There is definitely an element of enjoying the dressing up. I am aware though there is always a sense of relief and contentment in appearing as a woman. There is also huge joy and some sadness as well. The sadness is knowing I am not female. The joy is deluding myself I am finally a woman.
I acknowledge all of that sounds like I am transsexual. I feel I am transsexual to a degree but my male self counters that. I actually like my male life and I truly adore my female moments too. I am aware I need to express my female self now and again and cross-dressing as a woman is my enabler.
In the past I have touched on how I dreamed of being a professional female impersonator in my youth and so my cross-dressing definitely contains a degree of performance as well as fulfilling my deep rooted need to be a woman now and again. I also seem attracted to femininity and favour clothes that are associated with femininity. This causes me to worry I am parodying women. That is not my intention, I adore women but knowing I have an element within me that wants to be a woman I need to dress as a woman and spend time with this part of me unlocked and set free.

Notice how different the sky is: This isn't done in some 'fancy' photoshop program - 'just' Windows Live Photo (part of Office 2010)
Although it seemed Guido and I lost the chance to photograph the little owls, late in the afternoon we did got a positive message that they were spotted again. Well worth a try. The sun disappeared and clouds took the overhand so the camera ISO boosted to the limits, After a "little" bit of luck, the only thing left was to get rid of that awful pole on the left (PS)...
I know this is a little blurry... and very dusty... but it just fits with that book title.
I had a very busy and little crazy day yesterday. I plan on doing a lot of underachieving today.
