The Christmas Jumper Challenge

So,  today I enter my place of work armed with all intents and purpose of ‘Christmas-izing my colleagues with my loud, cheesy Christmas jumper.

But what went wrong??

I mean sure, I’ve had the odd wink, thumbs up, even a few ‘nice jumper’ comments from a few of the predatory men in my office.  (Let’s face it though, these are the guys who would compliment me on a nice pair of socks).

But it wasn’t enough for me.  Being the attention seeking, outrageous character I turn into during casual Friday at work; I like to stand out from the crowd…..and when the majority of said crowd are also wearing Christmas jumpers which are disappointingly on par with the outrageousness of mine I find it a little, well, outrageous.

So I’ve decided to up the ante.  This weekend I will be customizing my otherwise ordinary jumper and turning it into a festive freak show to delight and inspire people from all over the world (of Christian descent of course) into loving Christmas (and my jumper) – equally.

Being a dab hand with a knitting needle and thread (who knew, the girl can sew!) I’m thinking a makeshift felt tree, baubles sewn across my front and back (so that with a coat on over I resemble the hunchback, sides and front of Notre Dame), some fake snow bobbles, maybe even a sewn on recording device that shouts out Noddy Holder’s famous line “It’s Chriiistmassssss’”every time I press it..

Anyhow, my challenge has been set, and tomorrow (that’s Saturday folks) I will be embarking on a quest to buy lots of cheap and cheerful bits and pieces to bring my dream jumper to life.

The best bit is, I’m stopping over at my sister’s in the evening to perform saintly babysitting duties, so will keep the little blighters busy by setting them an ‘arts and craft’ project before bed time whilst I delegate tasks!  

“Right, you…careful with that tinsel now….” (Welcome to the Christmas work house kids!)

I am an amazing auntie, and pretty soon, people will see me coming down the street and say:  “She looks like Christmas.”

Bless.

I’d love to hear about your Xmas jumpers this year….and I’ll be sure to post up some images of my design!!

Till next time

Leg Envy!

So tonight I settled down to watch I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here NOW, The Spin off Show after the main show, and as I was watching it I just couldn't keep my eyes off a certain pair of legs on show.
Laura Whitmore! This girl has the most amazing legs I have ever seen, I mean she can literally pull off any type of outfit that shows off her legs.

Being a man, I am fond of ladies legs. But as a Cross-dressing Man, I am also envious of them. I will be honest and say that many people who have seen me in full Cassie Get up have commented on my slender, feminine legs and I LOVE that. I still get envious of legs on a lot of women (and some men) on a daily basis.

I personally spend a lot of time making my legs look and feel the best, regardless of whether I have to cover them up at work and during my normal male life. I moisturise and even tan them as well as keeping them smooth all year round. I have moved onto waxing them as shaving never gave me the right feel.

I remember when I first shaved my legs and the feeling I got from seeing them was immense. Ask any other Cross dresser and they will tell you the same thing. I find smooth legs to be one of the most feminine things ever. What I find hilarious is that a lot of ladies I talk to complain about keeping their legs smooth and it makes me smile the amount of effort I go through just to get them hidden daily compared to a lot of my natural girl friends who'd rather throw on some jeans to cover up their hairy legs.

So I guess this post was about legs. I love legs and like to keep mine smooth and moisturised. What products do you use to keep yours in good nick?

A VERY productive Shop!

So after work today I sat on the couch with a glass of whiskey (Yes! I love a tipple in the winter) watching the TV when suddenly I received a text message from another buddy of mine who happens to dabble in the art of "Cross-dressing".....yes another guy who dresses in women's clothing! Crazy isn't it?! 
Well, lets call her Michelle, text me out of the blue like she does. Michelle is somebody I met online via other girls like me and we met up one night and hit a "Transvestites Night" in Bristol. Since then we have kept in touch as she keeps me updated with any special nights out in the future.

As somebody who has been called "A Lazy Tranny" in the past, I tend to make my nights out as Cassie limited as I am still in the closet as they say (Does the blog name make a bit more sense now?) but if the right night approaches and I can organise my schedule, I try my best to let Cassie get the legs out and party away. 
Anyway, I digress, Michelle text me to tell me the date of the annual Christmas Transvestite/T Girl party that I have been to and to get a dress ready as it's going to be "Off the Hook" - Her words not mine!
So I immediately jumped on the laptop after getting the "deets" - again her words not mine, she is 23 after all!. I jumped onto my favourite online shop www.Very.co.uk

I have bought various of items from there such as Dresses, Jumpers and even shoes!. I am quite lucky as it goes as, as a Man I have a fairly feminine body. I am a good size 14-16 so a little curvy, my shoulders are not very broad, my legs are slim and long and my feet can fit into a woman's size 8! 
So Shopping here I can find the perfect dress to go out and party.

After a while of searching I decided to pick out and order The Definitions Textured Bodycon Dress.

Definitions textured Bodycon Dress from www.very.co.uk

I Loved the look of this straight away. The length was perfect, Long enough to look classy and short enough to show off the legs. I love the sleeves as I am not a fan of showing off my arms yet. Although they aren't big I want to tone them up Michelle Obama style more.
The fit of the dress will suit my frame, hopefully, and I hope the dress will look demure enough and not too "Tranny Trash"
And at the reasonable price of £49.00 I was happy to purchase. I wouldn't usually spend so much on a dress but as this is for a proper night out and not a local night out I thought why not.

South Roberts glitter Platform Heels from www.very.co.uk

I also went for a lovely pair of South Roberts Glitter Platform Heels. I Love the Blue colour and think they will go well with the dress. The size i needed was an 8 and that's the highest they had so lucky there.
These are a steal at the price in my eyes! only £15.00 down from £30.00! So I snapped these up sharpish.













So I am all ready for my night out in a few weeks time. I have invited Scarlett to come along, but no doubt she will be too busy trying to find a date online (Wait for her online dating saga). 
With Xmas parties coming up, what are you all wearing? would love to hear what outfits you'll be showing off.

Anyways, Thanks for reading

Just a Regular Tuesday Evening

So whilst co-blogger of this blog Scarlett gets ready for her date this weekend, and ignoring my phone calls (she blames her phone, I say she's blanking me because she doesn't want me to brag about being right her Ex!) I spent my Tuesday evening as Cassie.
Now for those thinking I spend a lot of my time dressed as a female will be sorely mistaken. In fact, lie I have said previously, its possibly a twice weekly thing. I mean I am sometimes tired from work so can't be bothered to even drag up (I use drag up, even though I'm not a drag queen). Some nights after work I end up in the pub with my usual males mates and no trace of femininity exists.

But tonight I planned an evening delving out the glad rags and heels for a night in watching......The football! Yes I know not very girly I know, but regardless I needed some Cassie time. All this blogging and tweeting to new people under the Cassie tag made me want to bring her out more.

So I left work at usual time and headed home. Grabbing some make up from the train station that I needed. I went for some Ruby Woo Red Lipstick. A Lippy that I am so fond of and can't live without. Buying make up at places like Boots now is natural for me, I don't even flinch when buying it along with a copy of Grazia. I don't care. And that's something I have felt good about.

I arrived home just before 6pm and it takes me roughly 45 minutes to get fully glammed. I am already a clean and smoothly shaven man so my entire grooming routine allows me less time to mess about transforming from Guy to Girl.
So around roughly 7pm my House mate arrives home from work. She usually works late on a Tuesday so likes to bring home takeaway. She brings home my fav tonight, which is Dominoes!! I know a girl should watch her figure but I needed this. I am a Pizza Addict!.
Anyway my house mate, lets call her Gemma (Not her real name) has always been a fan of Cassie and I sometimes feel like she's disappointed when she turns up and I'm not in Cassie mode. I can see it in her eyes when she walks in and I'm sitting in my joggers watching the football or something.

So My Tuesday night consisted of eating pizza, watching the football (We lost!) and having a few glasses of wine. Me and Gemma can simply chat away like there's no tomorrow. She is a funny girl, possibly one of the funniest girls I know. she hates Football, but LOVES taking the piss out of it.

So there you have it. The real life of a Crossdresser. It is that simple. I spent time to look all girly just to sit around my living room being lazy. Why? I have no idea. It is like an urge. I needed to escape my boy life for a few hours. I became Cassie for a few hours and felt relaxed. Thats what dressing up means to me. Some nights I like to go out clubbing to the local T Girl friendly bar and some nights I spend sitting in. Either way it's about giving myself an outlet. 

Now this Blog allows me to share my way of life. I hope you enjoy it.

Suit and Ties VS Skirt and Heels

"who is she?"

So Today I was at work, busy away being boring and dull, trying to get work done to schedules and timelines whilst drinking copious amounts of coffee. This is a daily routine for me. The Daily grind for....well lets say Conner (Not my real name) is just like many guys out there working in office based environment. Lots of women work in my office and I have a great friendship with them. But to them I am jack the lad, fun loving and football loving *Connor. But what they don't know is when I leave work and head home to my cat and house mate I sometimes become Cassie! a Fun loving, Leggy Blonde (sometimes) who loves all things fashion.
So Today whilst I was sitting in on a dull mundane meeting with 6 other beautiful ladies I couldn't help but let Cassie take over my brain and entertain me. To do this, she simply analysed the fashion these ladies and it made that hour go fast. If only I could swap my suit and tie for skirt and heels!

Now each to their own is something I constantly hear from people and that is true, but to most people who know Cassie, know what this means to me. First off, I will not be making a transition at any point of my life. I am happy being *Connor and never want to stop that. Secondly, Cassie is an expression of me that comes out roughly twice a week in full (ie. make up, wig, heels the lot) and partly a few more nights a week (ie. pamper nights, waxing etc).

Cassie is my Alter Ego but for the purpose of this blog *Connor is my alter ego. With my blog posts I shall be Cassie and writing about her thoughts and ideas. So Hopefully over time you will all get to know her more and with the help of Scarlett we can make this blog fun and a good read.

Scarlett is the main blogger here. She is so talented and creative with her writing I can't wait for you all to read her posts. As for me, I aim to introduce you to the world of Cross-Dressing that shys away from those pesky bearded fellas in tights and bad make up. I want to show you Cassie and her thoughts on being a guy who looks good as a chick.

So I suppose this is a kind of introduction to my participation on this blog. Hope you enjoy.

Bye for now
Cassie xoxo
