It’s a cold damp windy night, so we set up the heat ray and Dust Mite settled down to warm up.

In the dryer

Warm cozy clothes not even out of the dryer strike Dust Mite as a nice place to settle. Alas, I subsequently dumped all of them out of the dryer and brought them upstairs, leaving Dust Mite out in the cold.

Purple stocking day

blue dress & stripy stockings

Yours truly, sitting for a rumpled self portrait in a blue dress & purple/black stripy stockings. (Yes, actual stockings, and there’s a garter belt in there keeping them from instantly flopping down around my ankles.) Looking rumpled helps me pretend that I don’t have a potbelly under the dress as well.

It felt more like fall today, so I decided I’d wear tights & a long sleeved top when I went out on my bicycle this afternoon.

Happy first Yeetaversary!

Last October 8th (which happens to be Intl. Lesbian Day in ANZ) my partner drove me up to the hospital, where, at sometime around 7am, I was knocked out only to awaken later that morning (or early afternoon?) with my bits finally corrected from the unfortunate state I was hatched with.

Getting an aftermarket pussy was the best decision I made in my life modulo The Best and our kids. It just fits, and is proper, instead of what was there before (which was useful, and I did have a lot of fun with it, but, well, it’s not something I was ever particularly happy with by itself. Letting it heal properly was a bit of a pain, because I was kept of my bicycle for three months (and I still haven’t gotten back into a semblance of shape), but there has not been a single moment when I regretted The Big Yeet or the absence of the old parts.

Happy Birthday, naughty bits, and I hope we have many more yet to come!

I have finally reached the point where I can take a selfie where I think I’m attractive

It is monday

I did a portrait session while waiting for a doctor’s appointment this morning, and discovered that (1) I have lost enough weight in the last few weeks to wear my ying/yang choker necklace without immediately feeling like I’m choking, and (2) I’m actually good looking?

It only took me 66 years to be able to look at myself in a photo and think “now that is a beautiful woman!” (Admittedly, this was not applicable during the 60 years when I was cosplaying as a man, but oh boy I haaaated the way I used to look back then!) I think I’m gonna be riding this high for a while!

My boobs aren’t very large compared to my chest diameter, but this new corset does its best to emphasise that I do indeed have them.

Dust Mite versus the LLM

Dust Mite gazes sceptically at a “photo” of UP M10000, which at the very least has been colourised with more enthusiasm than skill.
