Pink Thursday

Uncategorized

Hi, I’m glad that working week is over. It was a bit of a slog. But, on to finer tales of daring do! Yes, it was Pink Thursday at Chameleons, and if I say so myself – actually, I don’t, lots of our number commented on how well it went. For balance, I’m wondering if we should do a session for our transmen. I know I could spare some shirts and trousers. Pink Thursday Unlike last time, I was away early and despite the issues with the traffic, I didn’t arrive too late. Plus, and unusually for Yours Truly, I only had the one outfit with me. I did have a chat with two new folk, as I got ready. […]

Dr Jones, I presume?

Hi, The other day I was listening to the radio and one of the presenters was saying how rare it is, for people to get lost. Yes, feel free to make up your own gags about ‘I wish Fred would get lost’ etc. I can wait. Done yet? Good, let’s move on. 🙂 The presenter was saying that with smartphones, satnavs and GPS, we – or rather modern society – don’t make so much use of maps. I know I’m guilty of using a satnav, or whatever the smartphone equivalent is, if I’m going somewhere I don’t really know the way to. It is, at least on my part, down to a combination of laziness and that curious modern disease: […]

Hi, The thing with skipping lunch, is I don’t feel guilty when I go home a little earlier than scheduled. Ah, those dinner time meetings, where you’re told to bring a snack and *ahem* man up. I’ve never asked, but I assume any women attending the meeting, must draw on a ‘tache, with either mascara or a rare-as-rocking-horse-poo whiteboard marker. Oddly, HR don’t seem to quite so on board with a) people not taking a break, and b) said people then sloping off early as they feel they’ve done their hours. Still, HR’s there to protect the business, not necessarily the individual. Shame, but there you go. So, due to a lunchtime meeting being my meal ticket home – see […]

Frequently Asked Questions

Hi, Larks, it’s a bit late. Still, that’s the penalty for staying up, to watch a film with Little Miss. Usually, she’s tucked up in bed before 9, but tonight, being a Friday, we’ve let her stay up a little. Mind you, she’s another year old – 8 now – and full of character. She certainly knows her mind, when it comes to picking her outfits. No idea where she gets that from 😉 Leggings and an old fave.Thanks to Val for the snap. Last night’s meeting went well and we had quite a few new people come along. As per, the regulars mingled and said hi, so – well, I hope – that no one was left high and […]

Learning to walk

Hi, Over the last few years of answering emails for Chameleons, there are a few questions, that pop up regularly. One of them is around dress. Perhaps, not unusual for a group of cross-dressing people. But flippancy aside, a question about being judged when dressed. What do others wear? What should I wear? I’m new to all of this, everyone seems so together with their outfits, etc. I think it’s intimidating enough, visiting a new place, where you don’t know anyone. Chuck into the mix, that you’re worried that you’ll look like a mess, must just add to the stress. BTW, I should add that the Chams folk are very cool and laid back. We don’t judge. Well, provided you are […]

A chance to be you

Uncategorized

Hey, Not just something that sounds good for horses, apparently. Also good for bad puns and an opening when you’re wondering what to blog about. 🙂 Despite Saturday’s gift of a morning to myself and plenty of time to pack, I changed my mind at the last minute (Ed: Not that this mind works better than the old one.), and swapped to what you might call a transitional dress. Something that’s either summer or winter, depending how you wear it. I have, thanks to some gentle cutting down on snacks, lost a little bit of weight. Not a huge amount, but enough to let my old clothes fit better and I was very happy to be able to wear my […]
