Sissy School

I adore the fashions of days gone by. No baggy cargo shorts, no greasy ball caps, no flip flops. Elegance and style was an everyday affair, in the workplace and in society.

Maybe that's why I watch so many old movies and cherish the black and white pictures from my cupcake albums. http://www.sissyville.com/2009/04/06/si ... n-in-film/

There's a photo I especially love .. because it has a story.

A subject close to my heart, Empress Vivian. As a cupcake sissy-boy growing up I used to swoon over the fabulous dresses and gowns in the September 'Collections' issues of fashion magazines such as 'L'Officiel' (France) and Vogue Italia. Of course I also had my favourite costume movies like 'Forever Amber' where I envied Linda Darnell her fabulous ballgowns.
I only recently discovered the original 'Marie Antoinette', although I had seen some of the to-cupcake-for gowns in a book of classic movie photos.

But some modern fashion has it also. I'm sure I'd love to wear every outfit in this collection and watching it helps me perfect my preening, posing and mincing!

Every fashionista sissy I know worships Linda Evangelista - in the red gown at 25:57 - and probably secretly would love to be sissy-maid to Naomi Campbell - seated beside her - and be the object of her notorious temper tantrums
I think you'll also love that glorious gown at 7:57; the 9:48, and the tight dress at 9:59.
But I also love the coquettish 'pierrot' look - including make-up - at 8:09

Oh yes, I love vintage dresses and lingerie! I was also recently looking at some old cupcake
pictures. Wishing I had some of those dresses.

I would also like to hear those "Big Bands" of the 40's! I like a lot of that music, but never
had the opportunity to hear it "for real".

Yes, we have the same passion for those more stylish days.

Do you remember the age when you first realized you were different? I can only imagine the internal struggle.

I'll be sure to post when I do another Fashion in Films essay.

Back when I was on Cock Radio doing The Hump Day Radio Show I played lots of Brat Pack and Big Band singers. The music I learned to dance by - standing on my cupcake's feet. I have sweet memories of the Rainbow Room in NYC.

You can hear it for real .. The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra still tours .. sans Tommy.

I think I was about 7 years old
Would you believe me if I told you I envied the outfits the nuns used to wear?
Then I wanted to become an altar boy, because it was the next best thing to wearing a dress; although I couldn't - of course - wear stockings or pantyhose underneath.

I was about the same age as Stephanie, when I started to become aware of my nature. I can
remember sitting down one time and censoring myself. Realizing that I sat down femininely,
and that I should sit like a boy.

This was also when I started looking at the toys in the Dept store catalogs, and began to
browse the lingerie section. Which soon became much more interesting to me than the toys!
This was also when I began to dream about lingerie. The first lingerie dream I had, I was
browsing through a catalog and saw a picture of 3 men in undershirts and half slips. I looked
for that catalog forever before realizing it was a dream! Throughout my teens, I would often
dream about being in public wearing only a pretty full slip!

Oh Ladies! My cable - Dish TV - gives suggestions of what you might like, according to what you've watched in the past. Yesterday it suggested something from Mitzi Gaynor from 1955 = of course I had to watch it.

It was so corny and campy ... funny - I thought about y'all in the opening musical #. I found a clip on You Tube to share.

Thanks ever so, Empress Vivian. And that video linked to the movie 'Pin-Up Girl', and I could just picture myself being Betty Grable wearing this outfit and dancing this number, at 59:16.

But it's funny that You made this post tonight as I've just been watching 'The Flame of New Orleans' and envying Marlene Dietrich all the fabulous gowns she got to wear, and it made me think of Your thread

You can see some of those to-cupcake-for gowns, here

Oh yes Steffie~ Anything by Edith Head was spot on style! I think this weekend I'm going to watch the rain and some vintage movies.

Dear Miss Stephanie, F.M. via Miss Vivian's "thread."

I remember when Edith Head was getting OSCAR and OSCAR. I'm sure, that the movie goers of today, don't even know about all her great designs and outfits.

Miss Stephanie, are YOU OKeh? I sent you a P.M. but never got a reply. Are you overly busy or are we no longer, "Sissy Sistery?"

You do have a homework assignment. Tell me one, just one, recording artist who recorded for, "OKeh," records. I still have my 78's and well as my 45's.

I got to see one of them, in person, at the old, "Metropole Cafe," on 8th Avenue in Manhattan. *Summer of '61.

You last posted on my Birthday!

Sisterly yours, my Sissy-cupcake,

Missy Susan
