So, a little history.
I'm not sure when I first discovered the world of TG capping, which may indicate when I started looking at them. But, like I think many are, I started off as a 'lurker': someone who never comments on anything.
I am reasonably sure the first comment I made was on Ashleigh B's "OMG I'm A Girl!" when she was doing a 'comment and get a cap' contest. That's also where I got the name Brittany from, later Miss Brittany.
My big commenting period was on Hailey Pixley's original a Tights Spot. Hailey has a major thing in common with me: a love of hosiery in our TG caps. I talked to Hailey quite a bit and was a frequent commentator and emailer.
And then I kind of vanished.
Hailey was always quite a vocal supporter of trying to become a capper myself. Eventually I did start. But this coincided with a period of my life where I wen backwards and started becoming more of a lurker. Things were happening offline which I was struggling to deal with, and struggling to admit I was struggling with. But they certainly affected me, and certainly prevented me becoming as frequent a capper as I wanted to be.
Eventually, as Hailey did as well, I just kind of vanished. I didn't even lurk anymore.
But I found out just yesterday that Hailey is back. And I have also been working on my real life issues myself. While I never disliked Miss Brittany as an identity, Betty Sparkles is one that came to me during this process of working things out: and it is what I prefer to go by in this space now.
It's not over: there's still much I need to work on before things are better in my life. So I am hesitant to promise or commit to anything here. But Capping is something I truly do want to do, as much as life has gotten in the way before this, so I can at least promise that it is an area of my life I want to do more with.
Now, onto the cap.
Back when Hailey and I used to correspond, I fairly inundated her with pictures. She did use some, but I think my enthusiasm in finding a kindred spirit may have been a bit too much. But I still have a lot of those pics, so I am hoping I can start moving through them and making my own caps.
This one is probably a bit unusual for me: it's possibly a bit dark, and I generally prefer to have person who is TG'd not be the person driving the transformation. And, to be fair, this transformation is pending. But in light of my re-invention, I think the idea of seizing a new identity and trying something new is appealing.
