LK Bennet Stilettos

Image
LK Bennett… Who Do I Think I Am? Big day. The new stilettos have arrived. They’re here to replace my faithful, much-loved, definitely overworked M&S classics. You know the pair — the dependable ones you buy again and again because when you finally find heels that work , you cling to them like your last wig cap. I think I was on my 4th… maybe 5th pair? Honestly, I stopped counting. They were the heel. And then — betrayal. Discontinued. Just like that. No warning. No counselling offered. So here I am, apparently an LK Bennett girl now. Who knew? This feels dangerously close to “I summer in the Cotswolds.” Side-by-side comparison in the photo — heel height is technically the same. But don’t be fooled. The LK Bennetts mean business. The ankle is tighter, and instead of gently flattening off like my M&S comfort blanket, they keep rising and push you forward. And by forward, I mean forward . The posture changes instantly. Shoulders back. Hips activated. Suddenly I’m not just walking...

Jan 2026

Another time without going out Its been a long while since I had a chance to dress freely, in theory I had between Wednesday and Saturday, but having travelled home late on Tuesday night, and repeated late work meetings on each day, I didn't really get a proper chance to get dolled up with make-up etc until Friday night and late on that day too. I worked from home, and in the morning I did my legs using Epilady, I think this turned out to be a good move compared to waxing strips (when I have a lot of time) or razor (when I need to do it in a rush). While I do like waxing strips because it is very complete, I've so often had to deal with lingering traces. It took about an hour, and I did go over with a razor after just to do panty line and make sure nothing was missed. Either way - it worked really well with legs feeling very smooth all weekend (even now as a type) where razor areas can be felt to the touch within 12 hours. I then really had to work for the day, so while I was i...

Been blocked !?

  On Thursday managed to get it together to do full makeup and a nice outfit and all. I only really had a few hours plus needed to do thing around the house, so not enough time to get out anywhere. I did go onto Birchplace/eblue and paraded my look in the Webcam room - mostly because its easy. I even took out my prop at one point, but only to tease a little nothing; seemed to get a good response. While all that was going on I was also in a the social room on tvChix.. and I found out someone had blocked me ! - actually someone I quite respected too. So was a bit surprised, this has never had that happen to me before. I think I know why it happened, and looking at the blockers point of view I sort of understand but the whole things made me feel quite down about the community - I had always hoped we were supporting and looking out for one another - now I am not so sure.

Caught in the rain

On Monday fulfilled one of my curious fantasies - "getting caught in the rain" .. ok I confess I dressed in a sexy little outfit with a seemed stockings, patent heels, black long sleeve bodysuit and short tartan skirt and went outside deliberately. As the rain came pouring down saturating my long hair and every item of clothing I was wearing. As I came in dripping, I caught myself in the mirror .. fully bedraggled - I liked the look; I can't say I know why .. but I did. Tuesday was quiet. Wednesday similar outfit - but with pink tartan rather than butterscotch. Actually, other than combining out my hair, and a bit of prancing around. not so much; but I had fun. Then later I picked up a package of knickers from H&M.. satin thongs, hope they are a good fit as its been perhaps a decade since I last bought thongs I was really happy with.

Sorting Hosiery

Image
  Having discovered the tan stockings I was wearing are not a pair, I thought it was high time I got on top of things. After years of promising that I would get around to it, I have been through my box of hosiery this morning. Untangling, then sorting first by colour tan, white and black and then separating out the straight tops, lace tops, fishnets. Those little bags your get for liquids in an airport turn out to be just the right size for a pair. I needed to change the bags, as the plastic that stockings come it is sticky edge and delicate so, without it just get a mess of tangled stockings and can never find the right ones; when I need them for an outfit.

Did't have any planned meetings, so dressed as I like; eventually got around to doing makeup; bit rushed, skipped eyeliner and used the Lancome mascara; which is much lighter then the Dior Show I normally use. Had a bit of time chatting, and really   just got on with doing my day job; But it was nice, feel more confident when have make up too less worried about being seen.

Correcting a spelling...

Correcting a spelling... Finally, years after I first adopted full t-girl name I have managed to fix the spelling on Flickr! It was my mistake; I had been using the abbreviated name Kaye as login only a couple of years into creating logins in a feminine identity. I think I was pretty standard, I wanted a name that was close enough to my boy name that I would respond without thinking and that wasn't the name of anyone I knew or had known in my life; I want people to know I am my own thing, not a replica of someone else no matter how much I admire or am influenced by others. But then later, many services needed a full name, so thinking about "porn-star name" I took the street I grew up on; but the abbreviated name didn't roll right with it.. "Kaye Temple" and then I remembered the pet name one of my sisters used to call me .. unfortunately, I didn't know the spelling and when I searched kayeleigh as a name, Google decided that it was a valid spelling, as w...
