A Victorian Feminisation

The most recent illustrations I’ve posted have been based in the 40’s/50’s - a period I love -but lately I have been trying to put some pieces together set in the Victorian era. I know WNL was also situated in that time but the costumes/gowns were quite ordinary. If people are still interested in that story I’ll finish it, but I don’t want to put a lot of energy into something that does not appeal to readers. So let me know if it still interests you.

The Victorian/Edwardian holds a major fascination for several reasons the main one being the magnificent ladies fashions, metres and metres of luxurious fabrics fashioned into elaborate gowns which required restrictive corsetry and several layers of underwear including chemise, petticoats, pantaloons etc.

Can you just imagine what it would be like to be feminised in such an era?  Forced into a long tight corset and several silk petticoats before being coerced by a strict matronly figure into a taffeta or satin gown weighing several kilos? Compelled to parade in sweeping  gowns for the amusement of your tormentor’s friends.  For me that would be the pinnacle of forced feminisation. Oh dear, I feel a little light headed.

Recently I’ve watched a few TV (no pun intended) period dramas set in this wonderful era and this piqued my interest once more so I began creating some pieces and if there is sufficient interest I will post over the coming months.. The illustrations gave me the idea for a story which I’m also working on.

While I love the idea of forced femme in this time period I really don’t know if a Victorian themed scenario is erotic to many people, I haven’t seen too many of them with the exception of a magnificent story entitled Baroness Gloria- if anyone has read it I’d like to hear your comments.


Anyway I hope you like the illustration below and as usual any feedback or ideas for future posts would be welcome.

Rozamund Inspects Her New Sissy

First off, thanks to Silk and Satin for your kind comment and also to the people who requested more at least there are a few who have similar tastes to my own. I haven’t been in much form to post anything lately so hopefully readers will like the attached illustration.


I’m assuming that most readers of this blog also visit Bea’s blog – Bea’s TV Station- so will know of Bea’s recent death.  Bea was a very good friend and while his death was expected it still came as a shock – as it always does when a close friend or family member dies. We exchanged mails on a weekly basis for over eight years and apart from my wife he was the only one who knew my secret so we had a very close bond. 

   
When I first came across his stories I was blown away, they were just what I was looking for.  Like most sub CD’s I’d read a lot of this stuff on various sites like Fictionmania and while I liked some of the stories I had never come across a style of writing that hit what Bea used to refer to as  “hot buttons”. This genre is very limited in how many ways the protagonist is forced into life en femme but Bea managed to do this wonderfully and without resorting to crude or crass storylines or language. He wasn’t a saint and could swear like a true Glaswegian but this never seeped into his writing.

 As I mentioned in the post to his blog I first got to know Bea when I sent him a mail saying how much I enjoyed his stories and after a tetchy reply I thought this guy is an arrogant prick and didn’t want fanboys bothering him so I assumed that was that and put it down to experience. I had never contacted anyone connected with crossdressing before this and was a bit taken aback but when he contacted me again I knew his earlier mail wasn’t meant to offend –it was just his forthright nature. We never looked back after that and while we disagreed on some things it never got in the way of a growing friendship.


Bea was a complex man and had a forceful personality, he lost his mother when he was a toddler and was raised by his grandmother (another formidable personality from what he told me on many occasions) in a working class area of Glasgow. He was evacuated from Glasgow to the country during  World War II, an experience he intensely disliked, he trained as a mechanical engineer and when he finished his apprenticeship he spent a short time at sea before emigrating to Canada  in the mid 50’s with his wife, both were in their early to mid 20’s. He soon made his way to California and after the requisite period took out US citizenship. He loved America and its people but never lost his strong Glaswegian accent which he told me caused him a few problems with co-workers over the years.



All this time he was a crossdresser and it is important to note that he told his wife this before he married her. I really don’t know if this is usual or not but it was something that I greatly admired about him and is a testament to his honesty, he always shrugged this off saying that he could not expect his new wife to marry him without knowing his deepest secrets. A better man than I. As I’ve mentioned on this or Bea’s blog before, my wife discovered my crossdressing purely by accident after 20 years of marriage- not a pleasant experience but she was ok about it. He could never understand my reluctance to tell her but was never judgemental.

Despite this honesty I recall him saying he disliked himself intensely well into his 40’s  because of his crossdressing and it was only when he accepted his CD side as a part of his overall persona he finally began to be at ease with himself. I found this fascinating as I never had major issues with crossdressing and always used to joke with him that his Protestant upbringing left him more scarred and guilt ridden than my Catholic one. 


He was an incredibly intelligent man and a fountain of knowledge about so many things and while he may have come across as a trifle blunt on his blog he was a very sensitive man in many ways and because of his own self-loathing in his early life he just wanted to help CD’s come to terms with their alter ego and be happy with themselves as people. He loved his wife and two sons and grandkids and if you were fortunate enough to be his friend he loved you too.

I'll miss him a lot.

A New Maid for Rozamund?

A Happy, Safe and Peaceful Christmas to All.

As I mentioned in the last post I had started a story about Rozamund’s background and her introduction to feminising the male sex unfortunately I could not get it finished in time to post here so a captioned image will have to suffice.

Thanks to all who visited the blog throughout the year and particularly those who were kind enough to comment and tick the more/interesting box. I’m really glad you like this type of material. I’ll try to keep it going for as long as I think people find it interesting or entertaining.


If some readers want to contribute anything, a short story, serial, an illustration or art – anything at all in any language e mail me and if it fits with the spirit of the blog I’ll post it.

I started writing because most of the material I saw on the internet, with the exception of Bea’s  and a few others, did not interest me. So you can blame him for the stuff I produce. The point I’m making is if I can do it anyone can, so if you want a platform contact me and we can discuss it.  


Take care and hopefully I’ll be able to post something in January.

WNL Chapters 28-31

I heard the Pogues "Fairytale of New York"  a few days ago, best Christmas song ever, still miss Kirsty Mc Coll - so that means Christmas is now officially open for business.

Below are the next  4 chapters of WNL. It’s difficult to know if people are into this type of format for forced femme material ….I really don’t know what to call it(captioned story, picture story?? Or perhaps if I’m truthful- just blatant copyright infringement.) I suppose it make little difference what the format is if people enjoy the story, which I hope readers do.

There seems to be a regular number of people viewing the blog on a weekly/monthly basis however only a few tick the “more” box at the end of each post .By that metric not many are interested so I think it’s best if I finish WNL shortly. Maybe one more chapter with another three or four pictures should end it but I doubt if it will be before Christmas.

 I thought it interesting to discover that the illustration “Rozamund’s Early Influences” was more popular (by another metric) than some of the WNL chapters. This prompted me to do another piece showing what happened next and I may post this before Christmas. Our German Friend suggested that captioned images like WNL may prove difficult to translate adequately for readers for whom English is not their first language.  So I started Rozamund’s back story but at the moment the text goes only as far as the first illustration-Shit I hope that makes sense. If I can’t complete it I may just post the illustration anyway.

 Enough of my drivel, hope you enjoy the four pieces below.

WNL Chapters 26-27

To the readers who are following WNL - apologies for the delay I thought I would be able to get four episodes done but due to personal circumstances I could only finish two.  Hopefully I will be back on track soon and the posting of the next episodes will not be as long. 







   
Thank you Geraldine for your kind words and support, your comments make the effort worthwhile. I have heard about Mädchen in Uniform but unfortunately have never seen it. I share your .. shall we say appreciation… of a strict German matron and ASL’s  Lady Agatha was based on such a lady. 

Maggie Smith’s character in Downton Abbey was also a big influence, I often imagine her in an opulent bedroom dressed in a high waisted girdle and long line bra with a hairbrush in her hand.

Oh dear .. I think I’d better go lie down for a while.

As I said I will try not to be as long next time and hope you enjoy these two.

Rozamund's early influences.


I have completed a few more chapters of William’s New Life and will post them in a few weeks,there is so little interest it is hard to get the motivation but thank you to the three readers who liked it enough to tick the more box.  However it is good to know there are a few readers who have similar taste to mine when it comes to forced feminisation. It’s a pity there are not a few more as it serves as a motivating factor to produce more material.

I tend to work on a few projects at a time, some more successful than others so while I was working on WNL I was also churning ideas around for a sequel to A Suitable Position. I think most readers have come to this blog via my stuff on Bea’s blog and if so will probably familiar with ASP. I mentioned in a comment that it would be interesting to discover what our hero Robert’s life was like with his aunts before he fell into the clutches of Rozamund Kirchen. Recently I had a similar thought about Rozamund and the Countess and what their backstory would be like.  To this end I reworked an old illustration I did some years back which throws light on Rozamund’s early life and influences, her views on males and how feminisation would benefit them. I actually did two narratives for the same piece, one for Robert and the other – the one you see here is for Rozamund.


As the rugby World Cup comes to a close, congrats to Argentina on beating Ireland, Australia were just too good for them in the semis but they are an exciting team. Such a pity about the Scots but for a referring error they would have been in the semis. The final tomorrow should be a great  game, don’t know  who to shout for as I like both the Aussies and the All Blacks, so it will have to be the ref Nigel Owens.








As usual it would be great if I got some feedback/response but I live in hope more than expectation.
I hope you enjoy the piece.
