Bra Shopping

Gee, what an effort, I feel sorry for women who have to go through that process regularly, I think my newest bra is 6 years old and my other about 12 years old. 

First it was time for a 7am coffee since the malls don't open yet.


Swapping my short skirt for pants and removing my corset for a more respectable look, I visited Bunnings hardware which opens early. I'm sure a new kitchen will be required in our new house soon after we move in. 



I still prefer the feel of a skirt on my hairless legs, the soft material brushing my skin, so off with the fishnet stockings and pants and into a skirt. I don't like stocking or even fishnets, either the look or the fact I don't get the nice feeling of silky material brushing my legs. Maybe as a compromise I should stick to extra wide fishnets? 

By now "The Warehouse" has opened (but not the rest of the mall), time to check their range of bras, clothing and I'm also looking for curtain glides, this is the second shop that has an empty hook for the the parts I need for my soon to be "ex" house.




9.30 and time to really start looking to replace my old, but favourite bra.

I started at Farmers shop as they have a big range, but nothing really working for me there. 

Next I went to Bendon, a few nice bras but still nothing that really ticked my wish list so moved on to "Bra's and Things". Eventually after exposing my bare chest (and head) to the very frequent attendant, I found something that wasn't the red lace I wanted but an acceptable black bra.

Not only did my size vary, but the cup size and then how much covering I needed (quarter cup isn't going to hold my friends in place)


Later in the day, I took the wife to a beach where she had a late lunch with a friend while I went to Columbus Coffee for an hour. It's part of Mitre 10 hardware, so I also grabbed 2.7 meter length of  skirting board wife noticed needing replacement. Funny trying to be all girlie with a 2.7 meter stick that refused to scan at he checkout and became a significant issue with a big queue building up behind me, then having to walk back through the shop to the trade counter for assistance - bar codes should just work!

Happy New Year

What a great week I've had off and still a couple more days holidays to enjoy.

Last child left home, so officially just wife and I at home, quite a few lunches and dinners out. It's been a bit of a back breaker moving daughters stuff, cleaning her section of the house, a bit of plastering and painting the walls from decades of damage. I've even had a bit of time to do a jigsaw puzzle.

I didn't get to see "Die Hard" this Christmas, very unusual 😕

New Years eve, wife said at 9.30pm to go out and relax, pub or take photos of the night sky, so I grabbed my tripod and camera, got dolled for a fun night at the club, little blue dress in previous post, spent a whole 15 minutes on shave and make up, looked as hot as someone my age can, and headed of to the pub by 10pm.

Pub was shut, apparently 7pm was what most did, except the inner city with their 2am closings and it was too windy to be out doing astrophotography, so I went back home.

January first

Woke up, visited coffee shops 7.30am - all shut, went to the beach for a 8am swim 


Water felt like ice. I do like my wife's swimsuit, nothing fell out during swimming. I only lasted in the water about 7 minutes. In my Kmart swimsuit, my boobs would have floated off into the horizon in that time.


Day after Christmas a daughter dropped off some clothes for the op-shop, so now I have new jeans, skirt and tops. With a fairly good growth of facial hair, I just wore them without any pretense of being a female (ie. without wig or make up).

Before my facial hair got beyond day 2, I did have a couple of hours out shopping in one of the "new" skirts.

Merry Christmas to everyone

 Just 2 more working days until a nice break from work and I hope everything is going well for you.

Summer is pouring in and a wig is the last thing I need in this heat, but I have a reputation to uphold - well actually not, my wigless photos just don't make it to a public platform. I haven't worn a skirt in that mode, but have worn these tops (normally with just a pushup bra). 

I was in Postie Plus with my wife earlier this week and was trying on womens skinny jeans, she would pay for them "at the counter so people don't think I'm a cross dresser" - but just didn't like how they fitted me, but maybe I should just get a pair and start to learn to enjoy them - maybe on the way home tomorrow.

I'm kind of in the "don't give a S#%@" attitude to how people see me (probably the heat) but don't want my wife getting any more upset with this compulsion I enjoy. 




Anyway, I hope you all have a great Christmas, with family if possible, or still great, even without if needs be.

Shopping day

With Christmas coming up, I decided to take a Friday off and do a bit of shopping, with a focus on ME.





OMG, Found an R2D2 something - anything will do really, but this is a Beer fridge!
Wish I had a 3D printer, I would have added legs, motorized it so it follows me around the garden so cold beer is always on hand.

I ended up finding fairly good Christmas presents for a couple of the grand kids, but who knows what they will like for more than 2 minutes.

Think maybe I'll get Santa to get me a milling machine or wood lathe. I really would like steel lathe but think I'm going to have lots of wood work experiences coming up and very little steel work (nothing more fun than cutting a thread on steel rods and the smell of the lubricant/coolant).

Old wig losing hair quickly

Not that I'm one to complain about not having hair, but my $25 wig is starting to look a bit thin. I decided to borrow my wife's $1,000 wig - but I'm finding it hard (and scary) to be blond.



I'm fairly sure I need a new $25 wig, and now I've sold the house, I might splash out on a $150 wig once we're in our new house. The neighbours in the townhouses will be in for some gossip once I move in, especially the lady in the first townhouse who "monitors" all people coming into the block 😁
