Boys can be Wonder Woman too!

It’s carnival in Brazil. I won’t go out on the streets but I can have my fun at home anyway.

I had put the chair there to do more sitting photos. But before sitting, I did some random standing poses using the chair and ended up loving this photo.

Tumblr always resizes my photos, making them blurry. Back when I used my phone to take them it didn’t make a big difference, but now that I’m using a real camera, it does. The photos are much crispier before I post them here.

I tried to post smaller ones with the magical 540 x 810 size that Tumblr tolerates (the ones that I added black bars on the sides), but I didn’t like the results, so I’m back to the blurry photos, I guess. Maybe I could post the photos with a better quality on twitter or somewhere else. I’ll think about it.

New outfit.

Now that’s something I never did before, a sitting photo! I like it, probably gonna do more in the future.

This is the last photo that was removed by tumblr. I believe their bots removed 5 photos, so I posted them again.

Another removed photo I’m bringing back. Only one left.

Another photo as a bride, but this one is without the veil.

[juliacrossdressing]

I’m in a bride costume right now! I’m loving it, always wanted to dress up as a bride. It’s a costume, but for my tastes it’s close enough.

I have too many “normal” female clothes, so I thought about getting something different. When I got my eyes on this dress, I had to buy it. I bought it online but it fits perfectly.

Another lost photo.

Last post I talked why I wanted to change my blog and how I wanted to do it for this new year. I stopped posting for a couple months to give myself a time out.

During that period I experimented with photography. Bought a new camera, some lighting equipment and some backdrops like the flowery one in this photo. I was a complete amateur when it comes to photography, and I thought that maybe I could step up my game a little. After a while experimenting, well, I’m still a complete amateur, but at least I managed to take some new photos in the process.

This is the same place as always, but with a different background and equipment. It took some time to get them right and in the end I liked the results, but I realized later that all this different stuff were not the change I was looking for.

Anyway, I took a lot of photos using the backdrops and I’ll post them as always, but I’m not sure if I’ll use them on all the photos. So you’ll probably see that good old wardrobe again.

Last year I stopped posting photos for the last couple of months. Honestly, I was a little tired of doing basically the same thing over and over again. I needed time to to figure things out. 

The problem is, I am a VERY methodical person. If you look at my photo archive, you’ll notice that I’m always obeying some rigid pattern that I come up with. I tend to do that with everything I do. I also have a very methodical way of choosing the photos that I’ll post, and to organize everything on folders, put dates, separate the best photos on different folders, and so on. On some occasions I had almost two months worth of material prepared in advance, full of already selected photos, ready to post in a queue. I love organization and organization pays off, but all of this takes time, and... I feel like I’m always short on time. And this blog is not supposed to feel like work, because it isn’t. I even thought I should just stop posting here to free time for other things. 

But as I always say, I love this blog, and in the end, I don’t want to stop it. After some reflection, I realized that the problem is not the posting itself, but how I was doing it. So from now on I want to take it less seriously. No more rigid patterns, too much planning and organization. I just want to post when I feel like, what I feel like. Of course, I don’t plan to run too far from the kind of photo I usually post. I like to post those full body photos at home, because 1) I like showing my entire outfit and 2) I feel much safer and more comfortable at home. But I realized I don’t need to spend hours and hours combing through hundreds of photos to do that anymore.

(Ironically, I’ve written too much for one post, that took too long for me. I’ll continue this talk later. I’ll explain whats up with the different background too)

Another photo removed by tumblr that I’m bringing back. This one is from last year.

[juliacrossdressing]

I’m reposting this photo from 2016 that tumblr removed because “it may contain adult content”. You’ve been warned. Take the kids out of the room.

[juliacrossdressing]

I’ve never posted a selfie before, mostly for two reasons:

- I don’t think my makeup skills are that good yet. I still have to improve it, but I’m too lazy to do that.

- Posting selfies would make it easier for someone who knows me in real life to identify me.

I fell those insecurities are smaller now than they were three years ago, when I started this blog. I’m still not entirely comfortable about it, but I feel brave enough, so let’s do it.

Happy new year, people! It’s already 2019 in Brazil.

I’m actually dressed like this right now, this photo was taken a few minutes ago. I started a new year dressed as Julia for the first time ever!

I wasn’t planning to, it just happened. Usually, some relatives come to our home to celebrate the new year together, but this time they had other plans, so it was only me and my parents. Then my father didn’t want to wait for it and went to sleep (he never sleeps late), so there was only me and mother left. Then I thought: what the heck, I could dress up right now and wait for 2019 like this. So I did! 

My mother is kind of used to see me as Julia so she didn’t mind and we watched the fireworks from the tallest point of our home. I think it’s a good start for a year. 

Also, tumblr is still here and I can’t keep away from it, so I decided that in 2019 I will continue to share my photos and maybe write a little more.

Cheers!
