Who doesn't like PVC and lycra

 I was up before sunrise and feeling a bit naughty.

I really like the idea of latex fetish dressing, but my budget is PVC and lycra at this stage, so decided to do a PVC photo shoot at the Auckland war memorial gardens. Wife asked if "anyone saw me", I said a few walkers and joggers. She says they probably thought me mad, but you now - I wasn't walking around the park while lifting dumb bells, so I thought some of them also mad 😂






I was wearing lycra underneath, but even if I hadn't, by 9.30am I was sweltering. So time for a change, coffee and head home before visiting my oldest daughter (who complimented me on my perfume, made me very happy). Oh yes, coffee - in a tight lycra one piece...

Cooling off in the pool

Okay, we finally put the kids pool up for the weekend, and somehow I had a couple of hours to enjoy it privately (well - to pose for you, water felt like ice)

I did manage a couple of relaxing coffee outings this week and noticed I'm not really caring about make up much these days






One thing I did notice, was hair on my legs making a rapid re-growth - yuk!
If I can pretend to be a female, I can pretend my legs are okay, until I can't pretend, then it's just a matter of longer skirts or leggings.

Middle of the week, we saw temperatures to hot for a wig or make up in the afternoon and evenings, but it didn't stop me from buying lip stick and nail polish from the chemist, then at by the end of the week, we were meant to have rain storms, that never really eventuated in Auckland but got a few areas around the country.

Summer renovations and IKEA visit

It's normally 24-30 degrees (75F+ for the Americans), and muggy. It makes getting into any tight clothes difficult and wearing a wig is almost prohibited after 11am except in shopping malls.

So Monday's presentation went well, but of course clients wife wants a "larger" walk in wardrobe and butlers kitchen (that's standard response even if we designed something a big as a barn for shoes and we leave it to the husbands to convince wives it's big enough).

At home, I've cleaned up and painted one window and had to drop the skirting boards by about 12mm (they had enough room for a carpet underneath, but previous owner removed and polished the wooden floors). I've never really worked on a 1960's uninsulated block construction, wasn't fun like wooden houses.



I took my grandson to his first experience of ice skating and he did quite well, from being scared to actually putting his feet in reasonable positions for standing and turning and having me push faster and faster. I'm to old to be a speed skater again and it's not even as if I had wheels or a stopper to use. 
Wife dragged out my old, expensive chess set, haven't played for about 18 years but nice to have it out of storage. Turns out wife is a little schemer, and had me working very hard for my two wins.





BACK TO CROSSDRESSING

I've had a couple of stops, without make up or wig just because of the heat, both times wearing the light mesh top you see in the photos below. Oh yes, also shaved my legs so short skirts are back in 😃


I managed to get out to photograph some birds at a sanctuary, decided to add myself just for you. Getting close to the various birds was a slightly muddy experience, but with such a short dress it would have taken more than ankle deep to cause an issue



IKEA...(bugger, same dress, but until the humidity drops everything else is uncomfortable). 

Anyway - their cheese cake was just like what my mum used to make, wish she was still here, we probably would have gone to Ikea together.
Still, it was fun trying to find good shots for you to enjoy and I noticed quite a few people brought their own photographers while they posed on furniture. Maybe I should find my own photographer 😃
