Mary Quant is dead. In the picture the Guardian used for the article about her death she looks so fucking modern. My Great Aunt Joyce once told me that you buy clothes that last and then accessories that are fashionable but honestly I did not know quite how much truly stylish people do that – … Read More
One thing I do like about going to my niblings birthday parties is I essentially get to LARP as a perfectly normal person. I got asked if the Tiny Yokai was mine several times, I was amused. I also got to wear my dinosaur dress and it was excellent fun, I need a better bra … Read More
I’m very excited about my middle nephew’s birthday party on Friday. It’s dinosaur and monster truck themed and I bought myself a dinosaur dress. I went for a skater dress rather than a faux fifties thing. I need to be able to move for a four year old’s birthday and not have my petticoats at … Read More
(Content warning – descriptions of me being in pain and thinking about death, including parental death) So I had heart palpitations and a small increase in blood pressure (went from normal to pre high) following about a week on the Lisdexamfetamine and a glass of wine – although according to the doctor that didn’t actually … Read More

Something strange happened at the weekend which I didn’t notice at the time. I asked someone how many partners they had, they said five serious and two play and I said whew that’s too many. The thing is, that didn’t used to be, for me I mean obviously. I’m not even talking pre-Jellicle when it … Read More
DS Luke convinced me to head out to the D&D movie. I treated myself to a full on self-date including VIP seating in the cinema, I even wore a nice dress and did my makeup. It was fun and I think it’s the first time since my birthday that I’ve dressed myself up and gone … Read More
(Content warning Frank descriptions of my thoughts and feelings about the weekend just past) Seeing them hurt. Seeing them and realising how bad my mental health had been last year really hurt. I mean it’s still pretty bad, I’m still being stupidly gentle with myself to try and make sure the basics are happening or … Read More
