BRA BURNING
Quickly following on from my last post ( who would have beleived it?)
I found this interesting tit-bit:
Bra burning?

Funny thing about all this is that these women forgot who invented the original Bra.
That's right, it was a woman
She formed it out of 2 white handkerchiefs, I think both for support and to cover up a
somewhat transparant blouse. I read the story long time ago in the book
"Extraordinary Orgins to Everyday Things". Look it up. Interesting reading.

TIES
I read in the Daily Torygraph, sorry, Daily Telegraph in the Fashion section that girls are now wearing ties as a fashion accessory. Its nothing new is it. Well, good luck to them. I hate the f**king things. I work in an office about three days a week and on one of those days I have to wear a tie. They are uncomfortable and Nerdy and what's worse, when people buy me presents I often get a tie because they know I wear them ergo I must like them.
Men should copy the girls and burn their ties in protest.. It is a symbol of having to conform , oppression, uniformity ( though I quite like uniforms) and class distinction. During the Spanish Civil War 1936-39 , the Anarchists went around shooting anyone who wore a tie , after they got bored of setting churches on fire. Probably there were two of them sitting in a cafe and one (let's call him Pedro),said to the other Juan, " That was good fun, setting a Catholic church on fire, but I'm a bit bored now. What shall we do next? Just then an office worker walked by and Juan said " Bloody bourgeoisie ! Let's shoot anyone wearing a tie today!" Pedro turned around ( I don't know why he wasn't facing him, perhaps it had been his turn to pour the petrol over the pews but Juan did first and so they weren't talking to each other)and said " No , you can't just do that... Oh F**k it, go on then."
I wish I had been a bit cleverer when the girls burnt their bras - We are back in the Seventies now, pay attention atthe back!- in protests. I could have gone around saying- "No, don't do that I'll take it and build a big bonfire with all the others".The girls would have thought me a feminist ( and they would have been right wouldn't they?) and I would now have the biggest tranny bra collection in the world.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee
This may sound daft and cheesy but I wish to personally give a big Thank you to Sir Tim Berners-Lee,KBE, FRS.
Sir Timothy is the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium, which oversees its continued development.
It says so on:
Sir Tim Berners Lee
If you have a low boredom point you may switch off now and make yourself a nice cup of tea or coffee or indulge in whatever else may give you a quick and free source of pleasure.
He could have made himself a multi-billionaire but chose to make the world wide web free of charge.This has helped the world to develop at a much faster pace and has helped to improve the life of millions of people.
Because everyone who has access to a computer and the internet can communicate quickly and easily throughout the world it has made it possible for people in minority groups to make contacts and help and support each other.
As a tranny it has meant that I have been able to make friends over the internet with transgendered people and to find that I am not the only tranny in the village and that I am not a weird freak. I may be considered a well-wired freak or even a weird freak by others but by being accepted by other transgendered people I have stopped being racked by guilt and self-loathing. I now accept myself for what I am and consider myself a healthy well-balanced individual.
A very big Thank you Sir Tim. Bless you.
O.K. That was very cheesy. I must be getting old. Must get out more. Now, where's my collection of fine art paper ? Actually , someone sent me an e-mail with definitions of " You know when you are old when...". The one I liked best was " You know when you are old when you take off your bra and all the wrinkles suddenly disappear form your face " At least that won't happen to me.

GEORGE MICHAEL
I took my partner to see a George Michael documentary: George Michael a different story. It consisted of lots of clips of George in concert, recording and in interviews.
Try this link to listen to his music:
www.georgemichael.com
I've never really listened to his stuff and knew very little about him except for the entrapment in a US toilet.
I now like George Michael's voice and will have to get some of his cds.
I came away really liking the bloke. He sounded a very honest, down to earth kind of guy. He had had to come to terms with being gay even though he had originally thought he was straight. He talked about his loving relationships and how he couldn't cope with his attempt to become a mega-star as a big as Michael Jackson and how it nearly nearly broke him.
O.K. It helps to be relaxed and enjoy life if you a multi-millionaire. But he did not sound at all as if he had an over-bloated image of himself.
He admitted that he had not known how to let his public know he was gay and everyone congratulated him on how he dealt with the press when he was caught with his trousers down by a cop. I liked the part when George said that he felt there was something wrong, that there might be a trap just before he entered the men's toilets. He was being interviewed in a limousine and he bent forward, looked straight into the camera and said " But I went there anyway didn't I ?"
Maybe there's a lesson there. If you are in a position like me, where only my partner knows I'm a cross-dresser and you are wondering how you could let everyone know, perhaps you might be unfrocked ( no pun intended)very publicly, in a humiliating way . But at least then its done and you just have cope with it. Would it be any worse than dealing with all the deceit and guilt and staying in the closet
( had to work hard to get that pun in but it was worth it . Oh yes it was!)

Come on Spring I'm fed up. I want it now!!!
I'm just looking out of my window watching the skys being tossed around and the rain hitting anything in sight. It must be the most indiscriminate mugger, the rain.
Doesn't matter who you are or where you are going, there's no A list as far as the rain is concerned. If you are the Queen, you still need someone to hold an umbrella for you.If you 've just rescued a whole school bus of kids against all the odds... it doesn't matter, rain will mug you and soak you through to the skin.
So you think you can beat it? Buy an umbrella. No good, rain's accomplice will grab it, turn it inside out and step on it so what you were holding is now a dangerous implement more likely to gouge you in the eye than protect you.
O.K. So you buy the best rain macs, wet-proof hats, boots (preferably red with sexy heels). I've even seen people wearing waders, wet-proof trousers and plastic capes.
Plastic capes !! Where do these come from? When it rains suddenly you see about fifty tourists taking photos with plastic capes on. They look like overgrown kindergarten kids with old wrinkly faces and very bad make-up. With plastic macs flying up into the air , which collect all the rain falling in their environ. Channeling the rain like a funnel so that they get soaked more than if they had been at kindergarten, jumping into puddles .
You can see the tourist guide holding up her fancy umbrella, saying "We will just walk around in the rain for the next half hour so that you are all totally soaked to your skins. Then we will sit down and have a nice cup of tea with scones and jam.The scones might get a little wet and soggy because of all the rain pouring from your plastic hoods as you bend your head forward to drink your tea. Then we will stand in the rain for two and a half hours so that we can get into Madame Tussauds.
Anyway, I digress perhaps.
So, are you ready for any possible mugging by rain? Er... yes.But you are feeling a bit hot and sticky and ... yep! Your friend, sun , decides to come out to play.Rain hides away and you are left with the full effect of wearing plastic on a warm balmy day. So do you go back and get changed? Er ... no, can't be bothered and in any case the rain is bound to jump on you just around the corner. you might get some weird looks ( but we are used to this aren't we girls?)Then they start thinking- "Mmmm they must know something about the weather I don't. Better buy a brolly . And maybe a mac. Oh and some lip gloss please."
