Accept yourself as you are – create yourself as you desire.
I was very sad to see what was happening at twitter a couple of weeks ago, so I wrote this piece. Jules Sanderson recorded it and it went live 10 days ago.
According to the news this morning it now seems like a prophesy. Have a listen.

Join me for another episode of Playtime with Fiona. I can hardly believe how creative Sylvester has become.
Here’s a handy crossdressing tip. Sports bras often come with a pocket for inserts. Even when they don’t they are a useful thing to have, as you can increase your feminine shape very subtly, giving yourself a small but apparent breast mass.
This not only looks great, it helps you feel very feminine. If you don’t have one or two, maybe this is a great time to consider buying one. Remember to choose sizing conservatively. They are usually made of a somewhat stretchy material, but avoid making the mistake of buying something too small. It will never be comfortable, and won’t feel so good.

āTits like coconuts,ā said Ali as I pondered his idea. He was, of course, quite correct. If we wanted to attract more wildlife to the garden we should hang out something to induce them to come. Apparently, the blue tit loves to play with a coconut hung from a branch.
āWell, then,ā I said. āYouād better get out there and buy some coconuts.ā
Itās so good to have someone looking after my garden who knows what they are doing. And that brings me to my very next point. For all my lovely American members I want to remind you that soon it will be time to vote once more, and itās very important for our trans sisters to try to stem the gradual erosion of trans rights that weāve seen in so many Republican states. Please be sure you are registered and familiarise yourself with the issues at stake. With gerrymandering and the assaults on voting rights weāve witnessed in the last few months itās more important than ever to make sure your vote counts. Plan ahead so that you can be sure to get your vote in, either by advanced voting where itās available, or by showing up on the day.

As you likely know, I work for a well known advertising agency in an active office in this delightful city. It is often said that for each job in some industries, several other people are supported. So, for example while a car plant may employ 4,000 people a further 6,000 jobs are created servicing the 4,000 people employed with things like transport, employment services and catering. In much the same way, my work supports not just myself, but also Sylvester my mechanic, Sebastian my personal trainer, Ali my gardener, young Max who helps with technology on my blog and several other assorted hangers on and peripheral individuals.
I was talking on this very subject with Bernard, my photographer, when we were out on agency business just the other day. Ali, who so lovingly tends my garden, spends more time there than I ever do. Instead, while he enjoys my delightful champaign colored roses in my garden I am out driving with Bernard on a task for the advertising agency. And Iām paying Ali! It all seems rather obtuse. That said, I do love Ali, and his daughters are sweetness itself. They arrived in Canada just a couple of years ago, refugees from the war in Syria.
Continue reading “There’s never a dull moment in the advertising business.”
As you probably know in my work as a busy crossdressing advertising account executive I lead a busy life. In the company I work for there I several boards and committees, with a lot of new faces recently. And I have to say I have been asked to sit on many of them. I like to avoid any of the contentious ones of course. This week however I did chair a couple of meetings to decide who we would award company scholarships to. The committee met at my house and we went over the details of the candidates.
I must say, I am probably not making myself popular but I tend to favor the under-achievers. I am a firm believer that the way schools measure performance is meaningless. Besides, over achievers always make it. Itās those of us that donāt come first in the class that need the help, donāt you think? Rewarding excellence is alright, as far as it goes, but itās not a bad idea to celebrate those of us who didnāt come home to a wall full of trophies, too.
After the meeting and my guests left I decided to cycle over to Sylvesterās place, where I found him in his garage pulling out bits of old equipment. He has all sorts of things in there. Old parts of motorcycles, a theodolite (whatever that is), and other items picked up in estate sales and auctions. He seems to gather these things in the hopes that one day they will once more be useful. Quite what anyone would do with four Eight Track cassettes of Captain and Tennille I really donāt know. All the same, he always seems happy out here rummaging about in the junk.
āIsnāt this beautiful,ā said Sylvester, a piece of electrical equipment in his hand. āItās a brass light switch. It just needs a good polish.ā
As Sylvester put some brass polish on a cloth and started polishing his nob I cast my eyes over the piles of assorted junk in the garage. I supposed it brought Sylvester some joy, and as one who does like to invent things from time to time I supposed there was some practical purpose to it all. He seemed quite content playing with his equipment. A very male trait, I supposed.
I poked about in a couple of the boxes, eventually finding a lovely old motorcycle headlamp, wires sprouting from it like colorful vines looking for something to creep up, a little like some of the junior execs at the advertising agency. I idly decided to polish the metal surround of the lamp, as Sylvester retreated into the house to make us both a coffee.
As I polished the metal, and I know this seems surprising but then such things happen to me all the time, a strange pink mist seemed to form before me. At first I thought Iād open the garage door to let the mist dissipate, clearly an environmental hazard. As I rose to my feet to open the door a form appeared and emerged from the clouds of pink mist, a beautiful woman wearing a sparkling dress and carrying a rainbow colored wand.
āCan I help you?ā I asked, taking in the long dress and tiara worn by the beautiful figure before me.
āNo, Fiona. Iām here to help you,ā replied the beautiful woman before me. āI am the Lady of The Lamp ā your fairy god milf, and I am here to grant you three wishes.ā
āWell, that seems a little random,ā I replied, surprised at her appearance in Sylvesterās garage. I mean, you sort of expect these things to happen in sacred places, not in a hoarderās garage.
āYou summoned me,ā came the reply as she waved her hand in front of her face and gave a little cough. āSorry about the mist. Itās always like this. Ozone. Something like that.ā
āWell, itās a good job I found you. Poor old Sylvester is out here polishing his knob and things all the time, and heās never said he found a Lady Of The Lamp,ā I replied.
The lady looked a little embarrassed and said, āYou should tell him to take it easy on that. He could go blind.ā
āThatās exactly what I told him, but what can you do,ā I replied. āBoys will be boys. So what are you doing hanging out in an old motorcycle lamp?ā
āWhat sort of questionās that? Old oil lamps, thatās what everyone seems to expect but we havenāt been doing that in years. Iāve got a sister whoās just moved into a Teslaās LED system. Iāve been stuck in this thing for the last eighty years, but here I am. So, three wishes. Letās do it so I can be free once more.ā
āWell, I suppose I should go with āworld peace, personal health and wealth.āā I replied.
āOh, come on, Fiona. You know thatās like the ālunch box Aā of wish making. You can do better than that,ā she responded.
āWell, it would be nice if Rainbow wasnāt so lonely up there in the light house. Something to make her life better might be nice,ā I said.
The lady closed her eyes and snapped her fingers.
āOh, and someone stole my boobs last fall. They took a bag from my car and it had a pair of 44 DDās in it. Iād like those back,ā I said and a moment later I felt my sweater tighten and a wonderful pair of breasts emerged.
āThere you are,ā said the lady of the lamp. āFresh from Glamour Boutique ā https://www.glamourboutique.com/buy/breast-forms/affordable-crossdresser-breast-plate ā you canāt go wrong. Now, whatās your final wish?ā
Iām not going to share that with you, Iām afraid. Itās a little personal. With that the lady gave me a final smile and vanished to roam free.
By the time Sylvester returned with the coffees I did find that I was feeling much more at peace with the world. And so to the moral of the storyā¦ These are not easy times, but with a little creativity we can find ways to move forward with a smile, great make up and a pair of 44 DDās on our chest.
Have a lovely week.

When Max, my next door neighbor’s son, dropped by unexpectedly this afternoon, and found me doing a yoga workout, he asked me where I’d been all morning. As he watched me stretch in my leotard, he seemed really quite engrossed. I mentioned that I’d been busy having a Brazilian, and he said something about shaving. I have no idea why.
It did however, remind me that so many of my members worry about body hair. And it’s true, it can be tricky, especially if one is essentially closeted in their dressing. However, I am a strong believer that one of the most enjoyable ways of concealing body hair is to wear a body stocking. It’s aesthetically beautiful, and really does conceal most of the issue.
Continue reading “Body hair 101 for crossdressers.”
So many of my members have spent years suppressing their desire to dress, and only once it is indulged do they find a sense of joyfulness. Sometimes this is accompanied by feelings of shame and guilt, and it all seems very confusing.
Suppressing these feelings can result in frustration and depression. Often members report that they never understood why they felt so lost, until they began to allow this side of themselves to emerge.Ā Prior to embracing their gender fluidity they report feeling lost and fail to understand āwhy is this happening to meā?
For the vast majority of my members itās about easing into a more comfortable place on the gender spectrum. For some it may be as simple as becoming just a little more androgynous in the way you dress and think. Others will of course find they do want to allow themselves to become far more feminine. Iāve certainly found that many people now go as far as using HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), either herbal or pharmaceutical, without any desire to go for full surgery.
In the end my Premium Program is created to help you find the appropriate place on the gender spectrum that will work for you and fits with your lifestyle. Thereās an expression in the LGBTQ community, which originated in the gay and lesbian world, but is very applicable to those of us who consider ourselves to be gender fluid.
āWe donāt raise our young. Instead they have to find us.ā
Some of us take quite a while to find our tribe. This can take the form of people in your own community or even systems like my Elite Whatsapp Group – where many people find support and friendship. Hopefully we get there in the end. Thatās when things start to make a little more sense.

I received a lovely message this morning from one of my members, Leticia. They wrote a lovely description that I feel I should include below.
āIt’s always a treat to hear from you, your stories are so clever and sexy. I am fortunate to live on the outskirts of a small town, and the road out front leads into open country, through farmland all the way to the state line, and across a river. I try to take a long walk every day, and it’s a perfect chance to practice my feminine walk, flowing with a graceful sway. I am wearing running shoes, but I don’t need high heels to swing my hips. It helps me feel like a woman.ā
This reminded me of an incident many years ago. I felt it worth recounting, as sometimes we give ourselves away without even knowing it. You can see my reply below.
Hi Leticia,
What a lovely picture you paint. I am so lucky to have so many wonderful members. You remind me that once, years ago, I had a friend who was studying kinesiology. They watched me walking down the street one day, before I’d really emerged as being so very gender fluid and came running along after me very excited.
“Do you know,” they said, “that you walk exactly like a woman. I can see your hips swinging and the motion you use in your gait – it’s so very feminine. Iāve not seen that so pronounced beforeā¦ in a man. I mean, itās sort of unusual.”
My acquaintance was suddenly aware that their enthusiasm for their study and their observation were a little inappropriate, and a moment later they felt quite awkward. I don’t think they realised that they’d seen something that was developing and growing within me and that it would become quite impossible to suppress. It was most enlightening, though I don’t think they really realised just how very deeply ingrained that characteristic was.

Sometimes who and what we are emerges in ways we least expect. I have learned not to fight it, but to just allow it to happen. I hope you do too.
You’ll see that throughout my website and the contents of my Patreon I talk about accepting yourself as you are, and creating yourself as you desire. Sometimes we can’t really help it.
Have you experienced similar moments of revelation? Be sure to tell me about them in the comments below.

Now, I know what youāre thinking. Itās true though, eight inches is my torso measurement. You know, most of us are completely unaware of what our true measurements are. However, because I simply have to get a new corset I need to measure myself correctly.
You know, it can be wonderful fun to have a friend measure you. I always suggest having someone you enjoy being with come and help. With this in mind I called Sylvester to get him to come over to help me. Unfortunately he was busy. Honestly, heās a slave to his business. Heās never happier than when heās got his hands on someoneās exhaust pipe.
Sebastian is out climbing this weekend. Heās going up the Devilās Danglers he tells me. They are a challenging climb, I understand, but itās remarkable what Sebastian can get up when he puts his mind to it.
I would have asked Amanda or Marjory to help with the measurements, but this is Marjoryās busy season in the competitive eating circuit. Sheās apparently excelling in the sausage category this year, which is surprisingly ironic considering the blossoming of her relationship with Amanda.
Now, as you know, my next door neighbors son Max has at times been a little jealous of Sebastian, my personal trainer, when he comes over and helps me with yoga. Max has been noticed spying on us from his upstairs window while Iām getting my downward dog on in the garden. Well, in the interests of humanity I felt I simply had to ask Max to come over and help me measure myself properly for a new corset. I felt this might help ease his tension a little.
I stood in the kitchen as Max placed the measuring tape first under my breasts, to get an accurate underbust measurement, and then standing behind me he wrapped the tape around at my waist. Now, this is very important. Getting these measurements is essential to get just the right fit in a corset. You may want to take notes.
āMax,ā I said as his breath quickened. āI feel size is very important. Be sure to get it just right.ā
Next he placed his strong young hands on my hips as I stretched, and measured very carefully. FInally he took my torso measurement. This is most important. This is from the underbust point to the hip crease of when you are sitting in Maxās lap. Poor boy was struggling quite hard at this point. I think all this measuring was wearing poor Max out. He seemed very red faced and was breathing heavily.
āAnd now the final part, Max,ā I said. āWe have to decide if my belly is āsoft and squishyā or āleanā. What do you think?ā
I placed his hand on my belly.
āItās sort of firm,ā he said.
āYes, and I expect you are too!ā
And the final thing you need to have a note of when ordering a corset is your height. Itās most important to let your corsetier know. I had found a delightful denim corset from https://glamorouscorset.com/ which was perfect to wear either with a pair of nice jeans, or a nice skirt. Itās so good to find truly versatile clothes. You can see the one I chose here: https://glamorouscorset.com/product-category/material/denim/ I chose this one specifically because I knew I could rely on the product quality coming from Glamorouscorset.com and also the stylish look that Iād be able to make good use of year round.
These are important details, because a corset can do so much for your look. While thereās a range of price points with corset manufacturers, like most things, itās wise not to go down market. A good corset can serve for years when well looked after and really grows to your needs. Donāt just go for the cheapest supplier you can find ā look for quality and sound reputation. I knew I was on solid ground with glamorouscorset.com .
Sure enough a few days later I received a package from my friends there. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful presentation of the corset. It comes in a presentation bag that suggests this is a product of quality. My friends included a detailed handbook about care for the corset and how to season it. These things are very important as the investment in effort pays off as you continue to use their product. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail that had been made. On inspection the corset was perfect. Iāve bought corsets before and Iāve had them hand made. This corset was without doubt one of the nicest and best fitting Iāve ever had. I look forward to years of service with it.
Now, Max is looking forward to years of service too, I think. I suppose I should ask him to help me put it on sometime. Teasing the puppies can be such fun!
If youāre interested in getting into a great corset I have a special surprise for you. If you use this code ā FIONA15 – you will get a special discount from GlamorousCorset.com Be sure to have a good look around their website. Itās very comprehensive and youāll quickly realise that your dealing with a company that is proud of doing the job right. Send them proper measurements as Iāve described above, and be sure to mention I sent you!
Have a wonderful week.

Hi,
Sitting in my kitchen, enjoying a quiet cup of tea, wearing my favorite kimono, I was surprised to seeĀ AliĀ 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.
He bustled into the kitchen looking flustered.Ā
“It’s Marjorie,” he said looking worried.Ā “She has the most terrible infestation!”
“She has?” I said, a little puzzled.
“Yes, in her bush. It’s very distressing.”
“Well, it would be,” I replied.
Ali is a gardener, but he was a professor at Damascus University prior to the war.Ā He is very knowledgeable about botany. When it comes to making my garden bloom, he’s sure to be all over it.Ā
“If her problem spreads to our garden it’s going to be horrible. Aphids are little monsters!Ā I think I should take care of it. If I don’t everyone in Huckleberry Close is going to get it.”
“That’s a wonderful idea,” I said.
Sure enough, later that evening, whenĀ SylvesterĀ andĀ BernardĀ were over enjoying a drink with me at the end of the day, Ali came back happily convinced he’d resolved the issue. HeĀ had used some sprays, a little trimming and Marjorie’s bush was looking very thoroughly groomed.
Well, done, Ali,” I said. “After rooting around in Marjory’s bush all afternoon, I think you deserve a little clap.”
As you can see, my life is never dull. .

For years people have used coded messages to convey hidden meanings. They do so to garner support from others who can read those messages. It signals that we are stronger together, and that we are not alone.
I lived in South Africa during the apartheid years. Seeing many different ways in which an authoritarian was resisted opened my eyes to the importance of daily conscious energy to progressively move the margins of society in the direction needed. Itās rarely a cataclysmic shift that makes a difference. Revolutions are, by definition, out of the ordinary. To shift the zeitgeist one has to do so a fraction of an inch at a time. Everyday. Never giving up.
As distasteful as it sounds we see alliance displays very clearly when watching MAGA crowds. Yes, I know ā just try to hold onto your lunch. Whether itās the red ball cap, the simple letter āQā or a single finger raised in a one arm salute, you can witness non-verbal messaging at play. Now, I donāt counsel watching any MAGA rallies. If I want to watch a bunch of losers displaying their failed understanding of politics I need only look at some January 6th footage from the Capitol. I try to avoid doing so within half an hour of eating. But hyperbole aside, these methods of unifying support are often very effective. In the case of large crowds itās all rather moronic, a little like believing a message gets better by shouting it louder. Natalie Wynn describes this very well in one of her videos HERE.
For a smaller group, a minority for example such as trans people, being able to identify our own supporters and allies is important. Imagine being lost in a crowd, possibly hostile, and having no idea who oneās allies are. Perhaps itās everyone around you ā or perhaps none. For this reason I am a strong proponent of carrying symbols that convey support for trans, bi and LGBTQ values. I show my colors, as it were. I also know that while not everyone will recognise my message, many people who are aligned with me will recognise the symbols and take some comfort from them.
The idea of this is not to provoke. Itās to signal to allies, āYes, I am here.ā Not everyone needs to be a Valkyrie or social justice warrior. My intention is not to create a combative atmosphere ā something that does nothing o appeal to the feminine side of my personality. Iād rather bring change through quietly reasoned self awareness of what is morally right. Gently assuring our sisters and friends, these are my choices and I am unashamed of them is important.
With that in mind, especially as we move toward election cycles I do suggest members actively āflagā themselves. This can take the form of a simple button, a tee shirt or even the simple color choice in an outfit. Itās true that some people may see such signals and take them to be provocative, however if thatās the case youāve just forced a bigot to reveal themselves, which is better than not knowing who the bigot in a party is.
With his in mind Iāve got a special page on my site with a few ideas for some subtle and other not so subtle trans supporting ideas. My personal favorite is a button saying ā404 Error – Gender Not Foundā.
Check it out and perhaps you can adopt one or two of the ideas.

Hi,
The sun is blazing down on my garden, and I can hear Ali moving about in the distance, his hand tools musically clinking as he cleans up the flower beds. He has recently declared a Jihad on the weeds in the north border.
As he arrived this afternoon in his Smartcar, equipped with the rifle rack that Sylvester gave him, re-purposed to carry his rakes and spades, I was dancing – in my kitchen to the sounds of my childhood –https://youtu.be/v16CwfkppeI ā getting carried away in my own little world. I had put together a big pitcher of sangria, a nice zinfandel with pineapple chunks and oranges, for myself, Ali while he worked, Max who was climbing a tree and trying to get to my pussy (don’t ask), and Bernard who will be over later this afternoon with some proofs from our latest photoshoot.
My garden is one of my favorite places in the summer. It’s a hive of activity. I still don’t know exactly what Max is doing climbing that tree, though. Shirtless and tanned he is, well, an entertaining diversion. He’s trying so hard, but I don’t think he’s ever going to get my pussy. All the same it’s fun to watch.
The summer here in Vancouver is in full swing, and I am thrilled to say that we’re welcoming new members to my Premium Program all the time. I have been thrilled to see so many new members recently, it quite takes my breath away. I’ve also been getting a lot of mail ā my inbox has been quite literally pounded with interesting mail. I do enjoy a good pounding!
So, I thought I’d include a couple of things in today’s message. One is something I am constantly asked about. Breasts. Yes, always something we like to give our attention. But, if you don’t want to go on a hormone therapy treatment, what can you do to stimulate a little breast growth? I am so glad you asked!
There’s a few soy drinks out there, including ‘So Good’, that are quite rich in phytoestrogens that mimic the female hormone estrogen. If you drink a moderate amount daily you will experience a small increase in breast size. Women have known of this trick for years, and can lift their breast size by one or two cup sizes quite easily. So can you. If you’re not in North America (and I have members from all over the globe now) then finding another milk like soy drink will likely have the same effect.
Gosh, you learn some useful things from me! You can also use one of my breast enlargement self-hypnosis files here: https://youtu.be/15v1usMJAXg Self hypnosis for breast enlargement has been around since the sixties, and is well documented to be successful. I have many gurls who have experienced great results with this.
Have fun, and enjoy your weekend.
