One of my efforts to pass myself off as a woman. I chose casual female clothing to hopefully sell the illusion of portraying a female.
I really wanted to feel I was a woman so I had engaged in a genital tuck, wore tight fitting female jeans and to help me feel feminine I chose some rather sexy lingerie to get me in the right frame of mind.
As usual in order to think myself into the persona I imagine the camera as a 'virtual' boyfriend I'm posing for. I enjoy being an imaginary girlfriend as it helps me feel I'm female.
It felt great, I loved being the girl for the day.

This picture is really a vehicle for the narrative. It's a studio style shot from three years ago I took one evening on the self timer. I'm using it because I loved how I felt that evening, I was thrilled to free my female self for few hours.
My desire to spend time as a woman is consuming me just now. I have never experienced the desire as powerfully as it has been these last few days. I last cross-dressed as a woman ten months ago and have missed freeing my female persona.
Since the Spring a sea change has been occurring within me. It both excites and terrifies me. Up until March I was more than happy to cross-dress in private and enjoy the thrill of being a man pretending to be a woman. With no real warning that attitude has changed, suddenly I actually want to spend time as a woman. Let me clarify that statement, I actually want to become a woman when I cross-dress not be aware I'm a man dressed up and acting the part. Something has switched in my head and I now know when dress as Helene in the future I desire to become her. The man I am will be gone.
Of course I know it will still be temporary as I will inevitably return to my male life after a few hours. What has changed is how emotionally I want to make the gender switch when I cross-dress. What I think this means (I'm still coming to terms with the change) is I am willing cross the line and inhabit my female alter ego as if she really is female. I won't be thinking I'm a man anymore. It's a bit scary yet I'm excited and thrilled at the prospect. I think I've suppressed this for years and was deluding myself. I now desire to be a woman when I dress as one. It has increased my confidence greatly. I think previously keeping the fact I am a man in the front of my mind has restricted me as a woman.
I'm sure many will indeed call me delusional, it's a fair point. As I lacked the nerve to transition when I was younger I know I must now express my transsexual nature in a real world environment, I actually want to be a woman and experience part of my life as one. It feels like a dam has broken and the repressed dreams and desires are now cascading through the breach. The part that has terrified me is the paradox that I am an heterosexual man with no attraction to men at all yet as a woman I now like to become an heterosexual woman…I am still trying to get my head around how such conflict can co-exist within me. I feel such a sentiment will draw derision and I may be accused of homosexuality or being bi-sexual. I can honestly say though the reality as a man is I'm a man and when I'm Helene I'm a woman. My gender now switches in my head.
It was good to express this out loud as it has frustrated me for many months now. Make of it what you will. Surely similar emotions and desires exist within other cross-dressers? Maybe I'm going mad with it all. All I know is right now I want to be a woman, I really do want to be one.

I have no idea what was going on that day, when i came across this happy procession, in a Bhuj street, Gujarat. It wasn't a wedding ceremony and i hadn't heard of any special festival from anyone around. Another Indian surprise!
I think I posted this pic somewhere quite awhile ago on my stream, but it's one of my favorites.
This is a picture of Larry with his sister Annie on Easter morning, 1955. He was 5 and she was 3.
Obviously their mother had put them up on the picnic table out back to take a picture of them in their Easter finery.
I think Annie must have been checking Larry's pockets for a piece of candy!
Sweet memories of Easter's past!
Running around again today, but I hope to catch with you all tonight!!
Have a good day peeps!!
As a late starter to cross-dressing I regret the wasted years of suppressing my desire to set free my female self. It is too late now though and I cannot escape the march of time and and that my looks , not great to start with, are fading. I always wanted to look female and wish I was more feminine but I'm not.
I truly enjoy cross-dressing as it releases inner joy and brings me closer to the dream of being a woman. I do harbour fears of looking like mutton dressed as lamb as I acknowledge I have of love of certain clothes and dress lengths that do not suit older women. Getting older though does not mean giving up and wearing dowdy and dull clothing. The lovely Sonia Gee exhibits delightfully tasteful and feminine style that has enthused me.
As I desire to pass as a woman I want to choose nice styles and make-up that suit my middle age looks and body but feel nice to wear and (hopefully) look good. This portrait, a self timer shot I took, captures one of my efforts to see if I can look like a woman. I am now age fifty four and I am keen to try and present a stylish female appearance when I cross-dress.
I may well be mocked for my aspirations and how I look in this picture as I was seeking realism in my portrayal. I did feel good within as I was excited by the experience but as I dress alone I never really know if I'm failing or getting somewhere. I am not at all confident in my skills to look female. I think as I want to be a woman and I live as a man I will never really feel I can succeed in looking like a woman.
The dream is going to remain elusive for ever - Helene x

Europride
Europride is a pan-European international event dedicated to LGBT pride, hosted by a different European city each year. The host city is usually one with an established gay pride event or a significant LGBT community.For up to a fortnight, numerous sporting and artistic events are staged throughout the host city. Europride usually culminates during a weekend with a traditional Mardi Gras-style pride parade, live music, special club nights, and an AIDS memorial vigil.
Europride was inaugurated in London in 1992, attended by estimated crowds of over 100,000. The following year, Berlin hosted the festivities. In 2016 Amsterdam hosted the Europride for the second year.

Another shot of Hudson on the beach, this time lookin all dapper and whatnot with the tie. He's gonna break some hearts one day.
Advantages of shooting toddlers:
-Cute
-Editing is easy
-More satisfaction with the final product since you put in blood, sweat, and tears to get one photo of them looking in your direction.
Disadvantages of shooting toddlers:
-They do nothing you say.
-They're unpredictable.
-They're constantly moving. It's like shooting a tornado on a treadmill.
-Any pose you have in mind, you're not going to get it.
-You're constantly improvising.
-If you're manual focusing, you might get one focused shot for every 10 blurred shots.
-They have to be bribed to look in the direction of the camera, IF that.
With all that said, I love photographing toddlers. It's an awesome challenge.

There's an Antique Shop in St Mary's Street with some rather odd stuff in it. Sadly, it has rather weird opening hours so I don't get to browse much :/
Fritzi Ritz was an American comic strip created in 1922 by Larry Whittington. It eventually evolved into the popular Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller.
Distributed by United Feature Syndicate, Fritzi Ritz began October 9, 1922, in the New York Evening World. When Whittington left in 1925, 20-year-old Bushmiller stepped in as his replacement, modeling Fritzi after his fiance, Abby Bohnet, whom he married in 1930. In 1931, when the Evening World and the New York Telegram merged, Fritzi Ritz was one of the strips lost in the shuffle, but it returned January 10, 1932, in the New York Daily Mirror.
Characters and story
At least for the first decade or so, Fritzi Ritz was a silly, frivolous flapper, whose main concerns were men, clothes, cosmetics and money. This is a far cry from her more familiar image as Nancy's level-headed, responsible guardian).
In one 1920s strip, she says she is 19 years of age. In later decades, she appears to be in her late twenties or early thirties. The December 3, 1930, strip finds Fritzi stating she was born in New York. She worked as an actress. Her boss, Mr. Blobbs, a short plump man with glasses, was a nice guy, although sometimes cheap. Blobbs' last appearance was in May 1932.
On January 2, 1933, Nancy, Fritzi's niece, appeared as a house guest and eventually overtook the strip. During the 1930s, it is mentioned at least twice that Fritzi and Nancy live in New York City, though it is uncertain whether that means Manhattan or another borough. It is mentioned during the 1935 continuity when Nancy runs away from home and winds up at an Indian reservation. After that period, their city of residence is never mentioned again.
By 1938, Sluggo Smith had been added and the daily was renamed Nancy with Fritzi becoming a guardian and parental figure for Nancy. With these changes, Fritzi's portrayal in the main strip was, therefore, more authoritative as she took on her responsibilities as parent and disciplinarian. In her own Sunday strip (which continued for several years after the daily strip's name change), she maintained more of her original fun-natured spirit.
