Accept yourself as you are – create yourself as you desire.

Good evening,
As you likely know the advertising agency which I work for has some diverse and interesting accounts. One of the most interesting is the local wildlife park. Just this morning I was out there, wearing what I think was a rather fetching safari suit, with a zebra print blouse, and safari boots. I do so love the look. You can see some of my favorite choices on my Pinterest – https://www.pinterest.ca/fionadobson22/
The wildlife park is quite forward thinking, and thereâs always something exciting going on. A recent addition to the park is a polar bear, unfortunately this is one thatâs been displaced due to loss of northern ice floes, the polar bears natural habitat, caused by climate change. This 800 lbs creature is truly magnificent and is in a very well thought out enclosure. You can also see an additional recently added attraction of delightful baby seals, as long as you arrive before lunch.
Bernard my photographer and I were down at the park attending a marketing meeting during which we were helping identify some talking points for their fall marketing campaign. Whilst there a rather unusual incident occurred. Montreal is a hotbed of alternative lifestyles and spiritual practices. Today an absent minded keeper from the wildlife park took an orangutan to be treated for some mild stress issues to an acupuncture clinic, but by mistake went next door into the voodoo temple. When the needles were plunged into the orangutanâs flabby orange backside 400 miles away Donald Trump collapsed clutching his face.
Bernard ended up with some wonderful images, and will be busy editing them all weekend. In the meantime heâs been helping me with A Guide To Selfies For Crossdressers. Hopefully I will get that out to you this week. Watch out for it on the site or on Patreon.
I do hope you and yours have a wonderful week.

I was sitting in my kitchen this morning with Bernard, my photographer, going through some proofs from the advertising agency that I work for, when Bernard started lamenting the decline in the business of photography. As an advertising agency photographer he remains in demand, but beyond the work at the agency he sees work falling off quite substantially.
âItâs no good,â he said. âThese days everyoneâs a photographer and no one is interested in having enlargements done.â
âWell, I wouldnât say that,â I interjected. âI can think of a number of friends that need enlargement.â
âI mean, all they want to do is put it their pictures on Instagram. Hardly anyone prints pictures anymore,â he said.
âBut so many more people are enjoying photography,â I said. âItâs so much more accessible now.â
âWell, yes. But where does that leave me,â he asked.
âYes, I see your point.â I said.
It took my mind back to those summer days several years ago when weâd do so many fashion shoots in the park for the agency. I can still hear Bernardâs voice in my memory as I would slip into a different outfit, and heâd shoot me on his long lens.
âNo,â heâd shout from the distance as weâd cycle through various looks. âJacket off! Jacket off!ââ
âIâm sorry?â Iâd shout back.
âTake your jacket off!â
âOh,â Iâd reply and remove the jacket and weâd do a load more pics.
Such memories. As crossdressers we have a great opportunity to take great pictures using ourselves as the subject. In the quest to âaccept yourself as you are and create yourself as you desireâ getting great images of yourself is a great exercise. It does take a little effort, but what a wonderful way to enjoy your crossdressing.
But all of this puts me in mind of the skills needed to do a decent selfie. Bernard and I will be posting a few things on the site and on Patreon to help you get the perfect selfie over the coming weeks. Be sure to register (itâs free) to avoid missing these. In the meantime enjoy this wonderful video from our favorite singer, Boggie. If youâve not heard her before, have an open mind and watch her video.
Have a lovely week,
Fiona
You know keeping your body in shape is never a bad idea. However most gym exercises are very yang in nature – elevating the core energy of the body. There’s a great deal to be gained by releasing the tension in the body through a more yin form of exercise. That’s why yin yoga, or a hatha yoga class is so very important.
Some people identify this as a more feminine form of energy. I don’t really go quite that far, but I do feel that releasing tension through the use of yin yoga calm both the body and the mind. This allows me to be myself – a very feminine person.
Now, since Sebastian, my personal trainer, is off on some foolish jaunt to Molvania, teaching the less fortunate of the world about the benefits of being a vegan, I am left to take care of my own personal training needs. Honestly, how can someone be so selfish! Heâs doing a stint with Personal Trainers Without Borders. Seems very egocentric to me.
Instead I will have to do my own yoga routine, along with Julie, Katia and Marjory from next door. Sylvester offered to come round and help me realign my chakras, but Iâm not entirely sure that he interprets that the same way as I do. To be honest heâs far more useful greasing a half shaft and helping me with my fluids. In the car. He really can be very coarse at times.
However, I do think I should talk a little about exercise and how very important it is for all of us who crossdress. You may remember my photographer, Bernard, recently had some heart troubles resulting in a heart transplant. I am convinced this is because he doesnât exercise properly. He really should be more committed. Admittedly being tazered certainly didnât help. None the less he should be more aware of his health. Mind you, heâs not as bad as his brother, Fat Stewart. He hauls his bloated carcass around in a Ford F150 and is only likely to lose weight if he gets flensed.
So, after chatting with Marissa, one of my lovely members, I was put in mind of some of the benefits of exercising in the proper manner. Thatâs right, as a crossdresser itâs not as simple as merely going into a gym and lifting weights. If you want to look like Sylvester Stallone in a dress that might work for you, but if youâre looking for a more feminine shape itâs not going to do the things youâre looking for.
Most typical gym exercises are very yang in nature. The elevate the energy within the core of the body. As a crossdresser youâre looking for something a little different. Pumping iron bunches up the muscles and can even elevate anxiety. This is the reverse of where you want to be.
When you swim, particularly breast stroke, you are releasing energy. A slow methodical pace, using each stroke to release and push away tension, leave the body relaxed and supple. Crawl, or swimming in an over arm stroke, is more like a core exercise and isnât what youâre looking for. The yin-like exercise of breast stroke, preferably daily, is extremely healthy and calming. Itâs gentle. That feels more like where you need to go, doesnât it?
Doing yoga is one of the best ways to allow your feminine energy to emerge. Thereâs no rocket science here. Getting into either Hatha, or better still, Yin yoga is a great way to find that side of yourself. Now, a word of caution. Donât just wander into any yoga class, if youâre not sure what youâre looking for. An Ashtanga yoga class has more in common with a martial arts workout than what you likely think yoga is. You are looking for Hatha or Yin styles of yoga.
If youâre unable to get into a class I can thoroughly recommend Esther Ekhartâs website here: https://www.ekhartyoga.com/
I donât get paid to recommend Esther. Sheâs lovely.
Have a lovely week, and try to get into a yoga class. If you’re a Patron and Seahorse Level of higher, you can also enjoy this spectacular self hypnosis file to make the experience all the more exciting and feminine.

Such goings on about the place!
Few sights can be more disturbing than Amanda, my wife’s hideous friend, in a two piece bathing suit. It was this unsettling image that greeted me when I arrived home this afternoon following a photoshoot with Bernard at the advertising agency.
Amanda was in our back garden, trying to tan her body, in much the same way that if you leave a piece of leather in the sun it becomes hardened and cracked. As I let Hannibal, my little black and brown Dachshund, out into the garden to my surprise he sprang across the grass and made a leap to bite Amanda’s bikini bottoms. As you can imagine, Amanda’s scream was so shrill you’d think someone were cutting through concrete with a rotary saw.
âGet him away! Get him away,â she screamed. Never before has so much flesh been restrained by so little fabric.
I sipped on my margarita as I watched Hannibal trying to pull the bikini from her. Then said, âCalm down,Amanda. He’s just being affectionate.â
In response Amanda started to run round the garden, arms flailing, with a dachshund hanging from her bum.
âHannibal,â I mumbled, as I took another sip of my margarita.
âHe’s gone rogue!â screamed Amanda.
The last I saw of her she was flapping away down the street, hotly pursued by Hannibal, who doubtless thought it a great game. I suspect I’ll be hearing more about this incident later.
That however, is not the main reason I am writing to you. Tonight is a warm Montreal evening, and it’s the perfect time to listen to the latest Youtube version of Playtime With Fiona. This weekends offering is a special one, and a little unusual. I know you’ll love it. This weekend is also the perfect weekend to experiment with some lighter summer shades of lipstick, a summer shade of eye shadow, and of course some new outfits for the beach or lake.
Feel free to share some pics. Don’t forget you can always submit a photo for me to share on the website here: https://fionadobson.com/your-pics/
Have a wonderful weekend.

As you are probably aware I lead a strange and varied existence. Since Angelina has returned to Los Angeles, I’ve been very busy and had a houseful of friends today. As luck would have it my personal trainer, Sebastian, brought a friend of his over for my workout, and we opted to do something a little different. Â She was a delightful little thing and came to teach a yoga class.
This was wonderful, as I’ve recently bought some stunning new leggings, which when worn with a little pink tee shirt combines to make a lovely simple outfit. Misha, the yoga teacher also had cooked a delightful curry, which we enjoyed and then sat about talking for about an hour before laying out a few mats and beginning the class.
Now, I should point out that Sylvester, my mechanic, who had dropped by to help me with some lubrication issues, is something of a stranger to Yoga, but having enjoyed some curry, decided to join our little class. I also had Ali, my Syrian gardener join us. Bernard my photographer, happened to have come round for tea, still recovering from being Tazered and having a heart attack, also joined us. Â It really was a full house.
Max, my neighbors 19 year old son, who I must say I find spending far too much time goggling at me, also took time to join us. It was quite a lovely group. I have on many occasions lately, noticed how Max has been looking at me. I think he’s given himself one too many selfies lately, if you get my drift. Can’t be good for the eyesight!
Sylvester shifted uneasily as he took up a ‘warrior 2’ pose, and Misha cooed that yoga is all about fluid movements. Bernard glanced at Sylvester, who lurched into another position, and grunted that the curry was taking care of the fluid movements â and quietly slipped off to the bathroom.
Ali was looking off into the far distance, very serenely, enjoying every moment. When Sylvester returned he adopted a pose that resembled a shed in a car park, more than it did a yoga position. That said, his body is very muscular. Almost Neanderthal, actually.
Max, positioned behind me as I adopted a forward fold from the hips, stared with adolescent lust. I couldn’t help thinking of the many handed god Vishnu, and how Max wouldn’t mind being him about now.
We did enjoy the class and as it wrapped up Misha told us all how she loved the yoga lifestyle. She teaches and also has a small business selling soaps and perfumes. She’s a very creative young lady.
âI’ve even released my own fragrance,â she commented.
Looking very uncomfortable with the situation, Sylvester added that he had as well, and hurried to the bathroom once more.
Life really is never dull!
If you have not already signed up for the Premium Program please consider doing so. I have some great exercises and tasks in there for all my gurls. Â Before you know it you’ll have your ankles behind your ears and be enjoying fluid movements of your own!
I sincerely hope you are enjoying the news I share with you. You can participate and comment even more at http://FionaDobson.com

Life is never dull here in Huckleberry Close. You’d never think my downward dog could cause such a mess.

Hi,
Sitting in my kitchen, enjoying a quiet cup of tea, wearing my favorite kimono, I was surprised to see Ali hurrying through the gate in the fence between my garden and my neighbors. Ali, you’ll remember is my wonderful gardener. He’s a Syrian refugee, and the nicest man you can imagine.
Iâm emailing you having just returned from the heart unit, where I am happy to relate that Bernard is in the process of recovery from his rather unfortunate incident with a carrot. This is much to the relief of Max, who for a moment thought he may have blood (or rather carrot juice) on his hands after shooting Bernard with the aid of Sebastianâs motorcycle. If this is all a bit confusing you may be able to catch up here.
I arrived home to find Sylvester sitting at my kitchen table looking more confused than a Trump supporter who had recently learned that heâd won a months free food at Hooters, only to discover that he had to complete a skill testing question asking him to calculate the area of a square measuring 2 inches by 2 inches, before being eligible to collect his prize. I asked Sylvester what could possibly be wrong.
âItâs this business with North Korea. My dad was out there years ago, and that didnât go so well,â said Sylvester.
Now, in case youâve been living under a rock â which might be the safest place to be under the circumstances â then you might be unaware that people are talking about the possibility of nuclear war. At times like this one is forced to ask the big questions. âWhatâs it all for?â, and âIsnât there hope for humanity?â, and âWhat does one really wear for Armageddon?â.
As I looked down at my troubled friend, I was forced to conclude that one should always look on the bright side, and dress up for the occasion. Seeing Sylvesterâs legs, also brought something else to mind, and consider that this is a man who looks like a gorilla and a fridge got together and created a baby.
I am of course talking about the need to deal with body hair when one crossdresses. The need to look oneâs best supersedes all other considerations as the nuclear clock ticks toward midnight. Sylvesterâs legs are very hairy, and if one is to meet oneâs end looking fabulous either waxing it off, or at least disguising the body hair is a great place to start.
Not all of my members are able to shave their legs. For those who discretely dress without the knowledge of their partners, suddenly appearing without leg hair may be something of a give away. One member did successfully claim that their new swimming regime required them to remove as much body hair as possible, but this isnât going to fly for some members.
In the quest to disguise body hair the fishnet pantyhose are your friends. Better still, try a fishnet body stocking. No one should be without one, in my opinion. If youâre unable to find one locally, you can follow this link and order one on my website.
So, the question remains, faced with the unpleasant eventuality of nuclear annihilation, what would your outfit be? Personally, I think nice summer dress and some heels, pretty pink bra and panties. Feel free to let me know.
Now donât forget, you can now join My Little Black Book for just $2.95 a month by using this link – https://gumroad.com/l/mMgcZ. Be sure to let me know once youâve paid and Iâll get you set up.

Hi,
Well, Iâm sure youâre aware of the latest events around Bernard being shot in the chest with a carrot â if not you can catch up here â which has left us all very worried about his health.
To get you up to date, it wasnât until several hours after heâd been carted off in the ambulance, following Max getting so upset about what he described as Sebastian and I doing yoga âdoggy styleâin my garden, that I managed to get through to the emergency department. The head nurse left me on hold as she went to see what had happened to poor Bernard.
Now, as you likely know, Bernard recently had a heart transplant following a Tazering incident, and we were all most concerned that he may have been severely hurt by the flying vegetable. Additionally, Max was getting increasingly worried about the idea that he may have committed a crime.
I had the phone in my kitchen on speaker, as Max and I waited to be transferred. I remember the moment in some detail, as I had just finished freshening my nail polish and I couldnât very well hold the cell. Really, though, that scarlet color is simply to die for!
I asked Max to paint my toe nails, as I waited on hold. I was standing there on one leg, my other foot on a bar stool, my tight leggings showing the well defined shape of my legs, as Max painted my toes. You know, you might think me a little cruel, but I do get a little thrill from the fact that his eyes would drift up my leg from time to time. Torturing the puppies is a secret pleasure of mine!
âIs that Fiona Dobson,â came the nurses voice.
âIt most certainly is,â I replied.
âYes, Ms. Dobson. Bernard has you listed as his primary contact.â
âOf course he does!â I said, attempting to keep the frustration from my voice.
âWell, Ms. Dobson, Iâm sorry to tell you thisâŠâ
At that moment Maxâs hand shakily managed to paint one of my toes.
âJust a moment,â I said, then turning to Max, âfor goodness sake, Max. Please be more attentive!â
I turned back to the phone, âGo on, dear,â I said.
âYes,â she continued, âIâm sorry but I have to tell youâŠâ
âMax!â I shouted, as he slipped once more. âDo be careful!â
The nurse continued, âIâm sorry but Bernard is no longer with us.â
There was a pause, and Max fell pale. I took the phone off speaker mode, and said to the nurse, âBut ⊠How?â
âHeâs no longer in the emergency department,â continued the nurse. âHeâs been transferred to the Intensive Care Unit, heâs scheduled for heart surgery later today.â
Now, I am sure you know I am not an unkind individual. However, I do confess I thought briefly about leaving Max in his growing sense of panic. Mentally, he was already gathering a few things and ready to head to Mexico.
I arranged to visit in the morning, and hung up the phone.
âDonât worry, Max. Bernardâs having surgery. Iâm sure heâs got a good chance of a full recovery. It was a nasty accident, thatâs all. We can go to see him in the morning.â
With that, Sebastian entered the kitchen, doing his very best to be helpful. âI feel I should come, too. After all, it was my exhaust pipe from which he was hurt. I feel a kind of karmic obligation.â
âHow thoughtful you are,â I said. âMax, my nails arenât going to paint themselves!â
âPerhaps I could take him one of my nice recordings of relaxing sounds. Thatâs sure to make him feel better. Fiona, whatâs the most relaxing sound you can think of. Whale song? The sound of the wind through a forest?â
âI think the sound of the door closing as Amanda leaves my house following one of her visits. That always leaves me feeling better,â I said.
âI think whale song might be more relaxing,â murmured Sebastian.
With that we did our best to put our fears for Bernard to rest. Max continued to do my toe nails and we resolved to visit the hospital the following morning.
And so it was that we decided to visit the following morning, Max and Sebastian bringing both guilt and karmic balance, and I some perfectly painted nails and a rather smart pleated skirt.
I shall let you know how things went next week.
Fiona
