Calling Hailey Pixley. Won't you please come out and play?

I’d like to share a little secret with you about the cover art photo for my upcoming book (see my 1/28/15 post).  I knew I wanted a close up picture, but knew that shaving my legs (or even just a portion of them) would raise too many suspicions.  After a little experimenting, I figured out that 2 pairs of suntan pantyhose beneath my black stockings provided flawless coverage for my legs.  What do you think?  Was it effective?
 
The layers of nylons reminded me of a cap that my dear friend Hailey had created for me.  If you never had the pleasure of meeting her, Hailey was a talented capper that shared her love of hosiery with many faithful followers through her fabulous blog “A Tights Spot”.  But then, one day without warning, her blog was gone.  Eventually Hailey resurfaced on Dee’s super-blog (deelusionsofgrandeur.blogspot.com) to assure us that she was OK, but had a personal issue that necessitated the immediate shut down of her blog.
 
I dug through my archives and found the cap that Hailey made for me, as well as the return cap I made for her.  I wanted to share these with you, and to let Hailey know how much we all miss her silky little blog and that we’re all waiting for her to get back on her high-heeled feet. 
 
 


Ciao! Elise

Remember me??

I was quite embarrassed when I realized that it's been 11 months since I last posted anything on my blog!  Where has the time gone and what have I been doing with it?

If there is anyone out there who still chooses to check in on me every once in a while, I can assure you that everything is well.  I'm still slipping into stockings as often as possible, and skirts and heels any chance I get a little alone time.  So what have I been doing with myself?  Why no new posts??

I have to admit that I have been sooo preoccupied with writing my story!  If you're not aware, a while back, Rachel's Haven started a project to help its members get their written works published while raising some funds for the site.  It's called the "A Little Bit of Girl Time" Collection, and it features works from many of the talented girls on the Haven.

I've always longed to write a book and see it published, so I thought I'd give it a try.  I must admit: it's much harder than I thought!  I have a fabulous story that is very close to me, so the storyline and characters are all worked out, and I've already written several drafts.  But ironing out all of the details that make a good idea a well-crafted story has been taking up so much of my time and focus, and I just haven't put much energy into creating caps or posts for my blog.  But I do see a light at the end of the tunnel, and with a little persistence my story will be done soon!!

So if you're still reading this post and are curious about my story, here's a teaser: a cross-dressing man who hates his job "accidentally" submits an application for a "women only" job.  To his surprise, he is offered the job and the opportunity to have the femme appearance he not only needs for the job, but has always longed to have.  The first day at his dream job leads to a chance meeting with an irresistible man who gives "her" a romantic evening she'll always remember and an erotic night she'll never forget!

The Haven is also allowing authors to provide their own cover art, so here's a peek at something I've been working on:
 
Yes, it's a "selfie" if you're curious.  I'm quite proud of how it turned out, and I can't wait to see my story (and my legs!) in print to be shared with you.
 
Drop me a note some time!  I promise I won't be such a stranger to the blog world.
Ciao! Elise
