An American Tale

Following on from the last entry, I replaced my VHS tapes of Steve Spielberg's An American Tale series with the double pack 2 DVD sets. I have felt for along while this series starting from the mid 80's was well animated with a good storyline running through it

Mid teen regression

One indication of just how far the gap between myself and my peers had gotten by my mid to late teens was we were discussing one morning before registration a number of things such as what schools, not least our early schools were and what today we felt like doing  together where near enough all my friends were thinking more about parties and or maybe going to the movies and all I wanted to do was have a teddy bears picnic with them.
They thought that was a bit sweet but you know a bit odd too given they were all acting more like mini young ladies and well, I was still a Junior they looked after and they had more that older sibling authority over me although we were the same age seeing them as parental substitutes.
That's the strange reality with me and why 'ageplay' as term doesn't really describe what I do because it's just who I am 24/7. A Junior.
That was something I forgot in my attempt after leaving school to get bye and what backfired a few years back so badly.

Pencil Skirt

An older teen side of my inner child is the memory of the fashion of office workers mostly female back then and to which a 'good girl' aspired and even looked up to as you started thinking a bit more about such concerns as getting a job or going to college.


A staple of my more formal wear is the Pencil Skirt of which this from Top Shop is good example.
It is a knee length pencil skirt with back zip fastening.






- 75% Polyester,23% Viscose,2% Elastane.Machine washable.
Worn with a classic plain blouse, belt and tights, it has that business like feel but at the same time approachable.

Intergrity: It's what we need

You know something don't you? Many people will do practically anything to avoid admitting they were wrong even sometimes to the extent of getting into very serious trouble with partners, employers and even the law through either misrepresenting something or even telling blatant lies.
Now we all know society functions on 'little white lies' but that works okay cos most people know what a little white lies is and don't large it up any further.
Now one way to avoid getting in big whopping lies is to tell the truth of which the easiest thing is to ADMIT you're wrong at the time!
Wrong can be a case of a decision that resulted in errors such as taking short cut thru town that wasn't really or coding up an item wrongly on a invoice making extra work for somebody. It could be you messed up a sales presentation so your potential client didn't sign up or just when you commented on something in the news to a friend and it turns out what you said wasn't right.
It's okay not to BS through this stuff and actually you'll be respected more by your peers if you do as I do and hold your hand up to your mistakes.

Alice

If I think of summer as a child one thing that sure comes into my head is lightweight summer dresses that girls often wear at primary and increasingly at some middle/secondary schools  that are made material such as gingham.You might put a sweater in blue or red over the top if it was a bit chilly.
These are often in green, red or like this blue which is very close to to the sort of dress that Dorothy wore in The Wizzard of Oz.

There is a part of me that would love to wear such a dress although most I've seen here seem to be quite expensive looking at the material for what is charged. I wonder if they see us a niche market they can exploit?

The Magic of the Fall, 2009.

As a Little Girl I always looked forward to the fall being that magical period  of transition from the late summer through to the onset of winter with it's bright crisp colours, leaves making pretty carpet like paths in the woods and forests.

It was time like most others where the seasons dictated what we would be doing
 in school in terms of lessons and games played in PE and also our own childhood playground games of which conkers was one of mine.My inner child feels all warm inside thinking of the fun we had and actually as you'll see some later in the chronological years love it still.
Conkers is an age old playground favourite, so if you harbour nostalgic memories of fast and furious conker competitions from your youth, then get yourself down to the conker championships and see whether you can beat the best. There are often different age categories to compete in, from the under fives to adults, and the winner of each receives a prize.

Here the berries are out ready for the birds and Mr Nutkins when he comes on over from the woodlands nearby

It's that time of your and I just adore those colours!
