Restart = COLD

Well the hours just fly by what with Final Cut taking half an hour to render and save movie files! Let alone the editing and title and credit making. Still all that needs to be done has been done, until the next lot that is.
Last Thursday's session went well, half a dozen movies and assorted pictures.



Managed to pick up a nice cheap skirt at New Look, i was advised that they were getting some more later in the week so off i trotted on Saturday only to find that not only didn't they get more but the ones they did have had all gone! Bugger

That's better, got the hang of this video malarky. Well as it not exactly my first love i don't devote that much time to it. The biggest pain of course is the time for Final Cut to process the finished version, still for those who wish ..... to take a look
Well Thursday tomorrow, picture day, well morning, outfits sorted, all set up and ready to go....
Subversion this Saturday, oh dear, oh dear, what to wear? Can i be arsed to do theme or not, nah just straightforward fetish more vamp than vampire, but what? The picture taking requires something not too restrictive !

Did a photoshoot last night.....

Bloody hell do i actually have the rest of my life? i ask you my dears its taking hours. i dashed off a few short vids this morning and have spent the rest of the day f***ing around, mainly because i had no idea what i was doing! Looks like i may have it sorted now though thank god.
What with all the faffing around in Final Cut and iMovie all it comes down to once its been rotated, edited and cropped to punt it into Flash and hey-presto donedidllydone. Still any excuse to get a frock on and a layer or three of slap.
Looks as if a photoshoot is on the cards this week, my daughter-in-law is launching her jewellery collection and yours truly seems to have been selected, mainly because he is cheap.

Well yet another reason to do pics, video. Just the thing to keep up the interest.
So a quiet week this week, what with the rain etc and no sign of an outing and nasty people asking me for money talking of which as we were just as i pay the gas bill the bloody electric peeps pop round to read the meter, bastards don't they know that we have just had Christmas to pay for and to cap it all the pension people have decided that seven months ago they overpaid me so i get a "can we have our money back please" comunication. Well you can bloody wait.
So as i say viddlydo darlings, yes i were struck by a thought, stood standin' there, as you do, it came over me. Why not i thought. The old vid camera proved a bit of a trial, not enough light you see but my little lady's Nikon compact camera does video too and rather better than the video camera does.
all of this of course has forced me to get to grips with video software and its attendant terminology but hey it passes the time. i dread to think how complicated 'proper' video software is, Final Cut Express is pretty complex so i've resorted to iMovie which does all i want at the moment.
Ordered a rather fetching little number from Dorothy Perkins, mmmm, strange in this day and age how sizes of clothes does not appear to follow a standard innit. The frock arrived, i try it on and it is one size too small. Now being a bloke, no really i am, i have a rib cage which is proportionally bigger than a woman so i order the next size up and it still turns out too small! The waist and hips fitted perfectly, the bust? Forget it! Even my little lady couldn't believe it. According to me and her i should be a medium so i ordered a large so there is no way on earth i require an extra large!! Bah, so its on its way back.

Well yet another visit 'ooop North over and done with. Dash up Saturday back Monday.
Rain? Oh boy did it rain all the bloody way there. it started as we left home and stopped... just after we got there. Thankfully the journey home was dry and we made good time.
Talking of weather, as we were, what is it with the BBC and their weather forecasts? Eh? i hear you say. Well my dears you look on the front page of their site and it says heavy snow for today. However, if one goes to the twenty four hour forecast, for the same area it says light snow and not until three o'clock this afternoon. Well which is it? i wouldn't mind but whenever i look out the window it never agrees with what they say anyway! Now i know its not an exact science but there are limits!!
Outfits sorted for tomorrow and a lighting and camera position change, so we shall see what we shall see.

Well almost, its been rainin' and the snow is retreating. Ah well pretty while it lasted. At least its a bit warmer now, gives a girl a chance to leave her thick tights in the drawer and get the stockings out!
So its orft 'oop North tomorrow for another visit. Yuk that drive, why can't everyone live within walking distance? Still if they did i'd only be moaning that i don't get any peace, like everything darlings it all has its upside and downside.
All this being housebound has at least reduced the backlog of pictures waiting to be processed, so much so that the website has had a major update but of course only posting three photo's a day Flickr is lagging far, far behind the latest ones.
i have been investigating the methodology of 'tucking' to give that nice smooth finish to ones appearance. Eeeek!!! Pass. i think i'll stick to the reinforced knickers and tights thank you although the use of micropore tape to enhance cleavage needs to be tried, mmmm.

Woke up, looked out, bugger i, its snowing, again! Very pretty but as my daughter said, bored now.
Not such a good photo session today, too many hiccups, lost & found items and fiddly costume changes but......



Still looks as though the thaw is on its way with a return to coldness next week!! i wonder if i shall find the courage to venture forth tomorrow morning? i doubt it but i should, we don't get snow that often here and it is a shame to waste the opportunity.

Yes its thawing in London. Mush, grey mush, horrid.
Well its looks like another trek 'ooop North soonish, damn.
Still i think it will be a photo day tomorrow, outfits sorted and there is those ankle boots that arrived yesterday... Yes a bargain, well a double bargain actually my dears seeing as they fit us both. Deep maroon patent Kurt Geiger's no less with killer heels.

DOH! The bloke next door can't get in his car, the door is frozen shut so what does he do? Pours cold water around the door. Clever that, now that water has frozen too. Why oh why didn't he just walk round the car and try the passenger door, the one sheltered by the six foot high hedge, the one that 'prolly isn't frozen. Stupid tosser. He's 'prolly the sort that pours boiling water on the windscreen as well, well he would have done if he hadn't have put damp cardboard over it to keep the snow off. Yes you guessed the cardboard had frozen to the windscreen as well, as i said, stupid tosser.
The cat, the bloody cat. He keeps going to the door to the room with no heating, pushing it open and just sitting there, in the gap and making us bloody cold!
Talking of cats, as we were, the Catsuit fits, oh boy does it fit........

Well supposedly its on its way, the snow that is. Just a smattering so far but what do the hours of darkness have in store? Perhaps tomorrow i can leap around in the white stuff and build a snowgirl with huge breasts.
On a lighter note i tried on my little ladies latex catsuit.......... and it fits, ooo dear i foresee some naughtyness.
So there i was sat sittin' there, as you do, whiling away the time when i was struck by a thought. i wunda when the MOT on the car runs out? They seek it here, they seek it there, they seek that MOT certificate everywhere.
Ah found it before it was lost. Oooops it ran out three days ago. Panic. So off i trot into the cold morning air and yes Peter can do it TODAY. Wheeee !! And in just a couple or three hours i am relieved of 200 smackers ! Still that's another year sorted, hopefully.

Well that is that all over and done with. Post boxing day we are off oop North for a flying visit to see the mother-in-law in hospital with a broken hip. New Year's was quiet just a visit with friends.
Off to Subversion last night which was rather busy. Minor disaster, i thought i'd packed the outfit but when we arrived i found i had packed the wrong skirt, bugger! Still i managed to avoid a fashion disaster. The drawbacks of latex, there i am stood standing there, as you do and there is a little shower of rain. Well not so much rain as droplets of sweat from the underside of my skirt landing on my legs ! Yukky poo darlings.
So many people so many faces, Claire, Conrad, Penny, Dave, etc, etc. Lots of lovely ladies boobs kept me happy i can tell you and i found out i had a fan !! Yes little me, a fan. Flattered? You bet your life i was! A rather cute blonde German boy so sweet introduced himself saying he was a fan of mine from the interweb and then ran away, ah bless. Didn't get to chat, i was gobsmacked and he was so nervous hardly any words were passed between us. Didn't get to take many pictures, again. Too busy chatting and gossiping when will i learn? Ah well. Lovely chats with the ever stunning Hannah. We left around 2.30 and finally got to bed around four.

Yes my loves, i ventured forth this a.m. into the cold, the frost and the snoodle. Hopped a bus and Oxford St here we come. Leapt off at Selfridges and a quick dash down to the basement, select pressypoos and out again. Dash across into M&S, the food department full of aged locals doing their xmas food shopping argh! Select items, ooo the checkout queues. Two, yes two delightful ladies let me jump the queue, well i only had three items. i was surprised though seeing as i had the red flame New Rocks on, leather jeans and leather biker jacket on ! So i put on the camp posh voice which tends to modify the appearance. Aaaanyway i'm off and running, a few minutes later i'm on the bus homeward. So that was just over the two hours to get there, shop and get back indoors, magic or what.
i did get a twinge to dash over to Primark but resisted, well the time of year etc, i really don't do packed shops and being pushed from pillar to post, i like to peruse, select, disgard etc, a girl just can't be rushed when she's shopping for clothes now can she?
Well got the outfits ready for the photo's tomorrow, lets hope i'm in the mood

Well we postponed the trip ooop North, bit snowy on Friday and took ourselves off on Saturday. Really odd, thick snow down here then thinned out a bit until we hit Bedfordshire where it was fairly thick up to Peterborough then it disappeared until we got there !
As per did nothing in a place with nothing to do and we shot off home on Monday, just as well seeing the amount of snow we got Monday night!!
Off food shopping today, ooo lord protect me from people "stocking up" for christmas !! Might venture to Selfridges tomorrow and on the other hand...... i might not then its safely locked up until its all over.

Well there i was yesterday morning, a new frock and nothing to do.... oooo photo opportunity, any excuse is better than none.
We decided that as the skirt part of the new frock was made split open we would....... sew it up!



if there is something that puts a bee in this girls bonnet it is my darlings the standard of workmanship and the prices charged for items. Now don't get me wrong, if its well finished and made i don't mind paying top price.
Thank god we bought this frock secondhand as i would have been most upset if i'd have paid the new price. The seams are uneven, The white frill round the bottom is in two pieces, one long, one an offcut, it just goes to show why i don't like buying on-line. i wanna see what i'm getting especially with limited market clothing. i haven't noticed a label but if i do i'll let you know who made it!
Aaaanyway enuf moaning, lots of luverly pictures yesterday and i didn't get the slap off all day, mmmm nice, a lovely girlie day.

Well my lovelies off we went to the Skin Two / LAM market thingy today. Wasn't sure whether i would drag up or not. You know how sometimes you just wonder if you can be bothered? Well eventually i dd bother and glad that i did. Wore the blue frock too with the What Katie Did corselette underneath to "smooth out' the lumps and bumps.



Just as well i did as i had to try a frock on, a nice little black PVC maid frock, ooo i've always wanted one of them. Got it secondhand from D, needs some minor adjustments, perhaps a dart in the cups to take them in a bit. Very short of course and laces up at the back in the same way as a corset. My little lady seemed quite taken with it and keen that i should have it.
i might just give in to temptaton and do some pictures tomrrow.

Of course simply loads of gossiping and catching up with friends etc. The lovely Jed Phoenix, Claire, Spike, D, Cass, Vicky, John and David, the lovely boys from Latex 101, ooo the list goes on and on etc, etc.

Well its the Skin Two market thingy whatsit run by the London Alternative Market tomorrow down at the Royal National Hotel near Russell Square. Seeing as its a Saturday i don't think i'll be going overboard with the outfit. Drag naturally but just a nice short frock darlings, blue, rather tasty actualy, i got from Dotty Perks last week, its really a long knitted jumper that's just long enough.
Shouldn't think we will be spending much but its a good chance to catch up with people. Claire will be there, Jed Phoenix, the lovely D and a fair few others. Biggest pain will be parking, can't park before 1.30 and its bloody christmas. May have to park in the hotel carpark, ooooo the expense!
Good photo session today. i usually reserve Thursday's for that but just couldn't get in the mood yesterday. Got to the point where it was time to put on the slap and thought, nah, tomorrow.

So off went the little lady yesterday, shopping. This year is gonna be a voucher xmas.
So she winds up, as we all do eventually, in Primark. When she comes home she says, Oooo i got you a couple of "stocking fillers", try them on. What you may think? Two pairs of miniscule shorts, thin shorts, girlie shorts, shiny shorts, one black one gold. Gonna have to be careful though or we may experience "fall out". Yes they are that small !!!
God i'm lucky, not only doesn't she mind me dragging up, she buys me things and encourages it!

So my dears, unlike the world today the cult of the celebrity passes me by. They are people pure and simple and deserve no more and no less of my time than anyone else. i have lost count of the number i have passed in the street with either a shrug of the shoulders or just a plain "and..."
Michael Jackson was within touching distance as he exited Sony in Broadwick Street and i passed him by. One of the Gallaghers from Oasis was totally ignored in Brewer Street, etc, etc. But Tuesday was a god 'un. There we were watching Handel's Messiah Tuesday night and sat next to me was a very attractive woman with her rather distinguished looking father. After leaving the Coliseum we met H and went for coffee in a little cafe just up the road. As we sat there the couple next to us came in with someone who had been singing in the production and we became involved in conversation. A day later i find out just who the attractive woman was. Hannah Waddingham. Now this means nothing to me until i am told just who Hannah Waddingham is, indeed Wikipedia refers to her as the Joanna Lumley of musical theatre. Really? Well that all means nothing to me except to say... by god woman you are lovely
