Writing is hard! I've been trying, honest, but finding the time and the energy to come up with something which I regard as good take alot. I've so recently started 2 or 3 stories, but not managed to take them further than the first page or so. That isn't to say that they aren't good ideas, its just that I start them, but don't manage to take them further. I will manage to finish something soon, I promise - I'm determined! I have an idea for a short story, which I need to work out in my head how to put down as a story, but when I do, you'll be the first to know ;)
My new corset is ordered - another, smaller, underbust made out of purple taffeta, which I hope is as gorgeous as the small square I saw looks. Can't wait, really: wearing my current corset daily now, just about, but really could do with a little more support and tightness. But since its only been a week since I ordered it, I really can't expect it to be ready that quickly - going to have to be a patient Dolly and wait...
Some days, I come to my blog and don't really know what to write... Should I just write more about my corseting, or the day which is coming? I'm not really sure, truth be told, I'm just writing as I'm thinking at the moment, which is strange, for me anyway.
So, I'm on the train to work: today I decided not to take the bike and have a fully corseted day, so I've laced myself in at about 6am today, and will probably wear it at least 12 -14 hours, if not longer.
One interruption will hopefully be a visit to a corset shop to work out what corset to buy next. I think I need to, given it will probably take a couple of months to arrive anyways. So, I'll take it off for that, but then I probably won't be long without some form of waist restriction :)
Life's been too busy recently: too much work, not enough play. One day it will quieten down, maybe. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, I love the work, the people I work with and the company. It is the nature of my work that it does become busy at times... other times are quieter so I really can't complain. I'm delighted to have a job at all!
I do dream (as anyone who's read my stories would be able to tell you) of a life without responsibilities, where I'm owned and someone else has my entire life in their hands, able to do with me whatever they like. I guess that's kinda a reaction to too much responsibility in my actual life, wanting to escape from reality and exchange my freedom for a life without having to make decisions, without the worry of earning, or spending, not need to fret about the future. Not that I'd expect such a life to be without its drawbacks, but then, it is a fantasy, so I'm allowed to make it whatever I like!
I know it has been a while since I've written anything - I'm approaching a state in my head where I might be able to write something soon - I probably need to wear my corset on the train more, as wearing it does tend to make me want to write more. But then, I'm not able to cycle - and no, I'm not getting on a bike wearing this! Once or twice I rode wearing a previous corset, but they weren't nearly as tight, and it wasn't the nicest of experiences. Being *very* upright on the bike, almost feels like I have trouble reaching the handlebars...
So, I'm going to take my slim waisted form now and stop wasting everyone's time with more ramblings, and let people go back to their lives... maybe I'll settle down and try to write something ;)

So, how long has it been? Oh wow! A whole month now with my new corset, and I'm still loving wearing it. It is now fully closed, which is a problem I'll come to later, but it still a gorgeous feeling to have it wrapped around my waist, holding me so tight and shaping my body and my mind. I'm now basically wearing it daily - sometimes I'll have day off, and, strangely, I wear it less at weekends. Probably because I'm usually off doing things which don't really work with a corset such as swimming etc. but during the week its on as much as possible.
Yesterday was a good example of a typical day. Arrived in the office - I cycle in, so can't really put it on until I get there. Laced it up on me, fairly tight. An hour later, popped back into the ladies room, and pulled it even tighter, as tight as possible. It does a strange thing when fully laced - the two solid flat steel bones at the back come together and form a very rigid support all down my back, and the corset suddenly becomes even more un-yielding. So, mid-morning, and I'm as tight as can be. It is only about half an inch to an inch more than before, but it really makes a difference.
Lunchtime, out for a walk so I'm not sitting all day - yesterday I wandered up to Camden Town, a short tube ride away from the office, and went browsing... looking for a petticoat at the moment, and saw a nice one by Hell Bunny, which I might get. Fairy Goth Mother also has a similar one too, so maybe that one also. But it was fun to browse - some gorgeous Lolita style dresses too.
Back in the office, and by mid afternoon, things around the waist were starting to feel quite tired - I was feeling the constriction quite hard, more aware of the metal bones which were holding me, pressing on my ribs and hips. I could almost feel the individual metal supports on my tummy.
But it was a good feeling - mildly uncomfortable, but a good reminder to myself that corseting my waist isn't always a wonderfully lovely experience, and there will be times which aren't as comfy as others, where I'll wonder to myself why am I doing this. A quick glance at my tummy or a stroke of my waist quickly reminds me why, and by the end of the afternoon, while still a lil bit achy, I'm my normal reluctant self to take it off for the journey home.
Next week, I'm going to have to start planning for my new corset. I absolutely adore this one, and am so glad I got it, however it is just a little too big. I think I was too timid when being fitted for it and the lady said "is it tight enough?" I've also lost a bit more weight since then too, which can't be helped.
There will be those who will think that I should go in and demand a refund, but really, I think its wonderful, and wouldn't be without it. I can wear it over things too, which will increase its tightness, so I have by no means wasted the money to buy it.
However, it does mean that I do need to get another one. My dilemma is whether to get the same style, or go with something different. I really do fancy another Puimond: even though they are quite pricy the shape and fit they are is so wonderful, and will help me achieve even tighter lacing. So I'm in saving mode now, which means petticoats and overbust corsets are on hold for the moment. I think not getting the overbust just yet is the biggest disappointment I think. But my daily corseting is more important than the occasional wear the overbust would get.
I'll definitely get a different colour - I adore the pink, but I'm just not the sort of girl who likes to get the same thing twice. Maybe a dark pink, or a purple?
Hopefully by Christmas I'll be able to order - it still does take a couple of months to come, but then, I'm a patient Dolly. I just hope the courier doesn't lose it again this time

Rules. Life has rules. Big rules, like: Don't Kill, or Don't Steal. Rules which are convention: Drive on the left (or the right, depending on where you are), Stop at Red lights.
So also, corset wearing has rules. Some are rules of thumb - like a corset will take 4-6 inches off your natural waist (depending on type and style). Some are for safety (of your corset) like always loosen the laces before opening the busk.
Others are to do with what you can and can't do while wearing your corset. Corset wearing for any length of time starts to impinge on more than your waist. It affects your life in significant ways. Some ways are obvious: bending at the waist is obviously more tricky. So the order in which you get dressed is important - if you're wearing tights for example, you need to put them on first, otherwise there'll be un-lacing, or a different wardrobe choice!
And of course, it affects what you can wear. Actually, with an underbust corset there's surprisingly little you can't wear.
Then there's eating and drinking. Fizzy drinks are a really bad idea. With your tummy compressed, the gas in the drink tries to expand, and can't, and having no place to go makes you feel uncomfortable and bloated. So they're out.
Too much food is also a problem. Food should be taken in small amounts, often, rather than a few big meals. This helps it pass though your digestive system easier, and doesn't just end up in a big lump in the stomach. And you should chew very well and generally eat slowly.
Now that's a lot of theory. How am I doing in practice? I realised today that I need to change my life. If I'm seriously tight lacing daily, which I appear to be, I've got to change my lifestyle to match. For example, today, someone bought me lunch which was nice, and I got some soup, mostly on the basis that its liquidly and would probably go down easier. Well, actually I got it because it looked particularly tasty and yummy. Unfortunately it was full of chicken and vegetables and was rather more like a stew. And I wasn't slow eating it. I sat and my desk and ate at my normal speed. And I ate it all. I've loads of habits, which normally wouldn't be a problem, but which I really need to do something about.
I should have looked for the lightest soup, really - few lumps so my squished digestive system can accommodate and take in. Then, eaten slowly! There is no rush to eat. But I come from a family of fast eaters, so am in that habit.
And finally, not feel bad about leaving food. I think my parents programmed me to always finish what's on my plate. "There's children starving in Africa who'd like that" they'd say. So everything went in. But who's to say that a plate full or bowlful is the right amount? And there's little chance of getting the food to an african children anyway, especially if they want it piping hot :)
So I mustn't be afraid to just say to myself that I've eaten enough and I don't need to eat an more. Unless, of course, I can leave it until later, and space out my eating. Effectively have 5-6 smaller meals in a day, rather than the conventional 3.
But these are big changes - food and drink habits are learned from a young age and are hard to break. I'm going to try, though.
The thing I really miss, though, is a good satisfying sneeze. Sneezing while corseted is almost excruciating - there is no space for it to go, and a good chance of damaging either yourself or the corset. So they need stifling, or turning into nose blows before they develop. Those I shall miss.
However, I love my corseted waist more.

Nine and a half hours! Longest time yet :) That's a full working day for me - putting it on when I get to the office, and taking it off just before I leave. Because I cycling into work, I really don't think I'm going to be able to wear it on a bike. I did a few times with my other corsets, but they weren't as restrictive. But I was feeling really good in it yesterday. Previously, by mid afternoon, I've been desperate to take it off, but by hometime I really wasn't wanting to remove it all!
Still hunting for an overbust - didn't manage to get into FairyGothMother yesterday - might try today, if I get time at lunchtime.

You filled the world with fruitiness, gave us things which looks wonderful and worked just as lovely as they looked - RIP knowing that you've made the world a better place, maybe not in a Nobel Peace Prize sense, but in a people's day to day life sense.
I also hope that in one way you won't be missed: I hope that the company you co-founded and lead will continue with your vision with as much creativity and enthusiasm, and that others will also follow in that mould. That's a great legacy to have.
Hug & Kisses wherever you've ended up

So yesterday! I started at about 6, and took it off at around 3:30, which is 9 1/2 hours! My longest inside my corset since I got it. And the reason I took it off? Not because it was all uncomfortable, but because I was in What Katie Did trying on overbust corsets, just for fun! They're like the other serious corset shop in London (that I know of) apart from FairyGothMother where I got my Puimond. They're a lil bit further away from my office but I realised when I was out yesterday that I would be changing tubes only a couple of stops away from them, so could pop in.
But I'm ahead of myself... what about the rest of yesterday? How was it being so tightly corseted for so long? Heaven :D I was moving about alot, not just sitting down, so it was incredibly comfy for that. There were times I forgot I was wearing it, other times I was just completely aware of it. It defines my shape and my mind. Probably because I wasn't sitting all day, I got less achy by 3, and was considering putting it back on after WKD, but decided I should still be taking it fairly easy.
So, overbusts! I've not worn an overbust corset before, but have wanted one for a while - not as day to day as the underbust, but much more fun for going out in. I have to say I was surprised by how much more constrictive they were than the underbust. That extra bit of holding, going all the way up, and over my chest, keeping everything in place. It makes me realise how much movement I've got in my underbust.
Back to my normal routine today - will see at lunchtime if I'm going to go longer or not :)

Well, today I'm now on the the train, early in the morning, still dark outside, but the sun is rising. Earlier, I wrapped my corset around my waist, fastened the busk at front and proceeded to pull the laces tight at the back, tighter and tighter, pulling in my tummy, compressing my waist into a fabulous hourglass figure. And there it will stay for the day. Today I'm not in the office, and not cycling, so could wear it first thing, and won't be sitting all day so its an ideal day to try for a longer period of being squished. I will see how it goes, but so far its good.
I'm aware of it all the time. My tummy is particular is very compressed - the way its shaped it curves in quite severely, which feels like a band around my waist. And its constant - inescapable I'm just so aware of the whole thing compressing the longer half of my torso, wrapping itself around me from my hips to my chest, un-yielding, but wonderful. I might explode soon :)

So yesterday was my first day back in the office since getting my corset, so I *had* to wear it at work. I'm usually on a bike to/from the office, so I tend to put it on once I get there. So I laced myself in at about 8:30. The morning was good - felt so lovely to be at my desk, but have this constant squishedness around me inescapably holding me in. I had beautiful posture all morning!
Lunchtime walked around town a bit, which is always the best feeling - helps it settle on your body and there's some mutual adjustment. While I was out I got myself a sandwich.
Back in the office, I popped into the ladies room and adjusted, rather sillily pulling it a lil tighter. Probably a mistake. I ate my sandwich. Probably too quickly. I tried loosening it a lil bit, but I still didn't feel that good. By about 2:30 thing came to a head and I had to go take it off - my tummy was just too uncomfortable, with the food inside me and the extra tightness, I think I just over did it.
So, I've realised a couple of things:
Firstly, that I've been out of corsets for about 3 months, so my body needs time to get used to them again. I was wearing my old one often for 16 hours a day, a few times for 24 hours and sleeping in it. So I was very used to wearing them. But the break means I have to re-learn. My body needs to re-adjust.
And secondly, this corset is different. It has shape. It is so much more rigid. Its longer. It holds me in ways I could only dream of! The way that it pushes in my tummy, while wrapping tenderly around my hips is just beautiful. But the price of this is that it will take time for my body to adjust to having that done to it. It is a big adjustment for it, since this isn't a usual thing.
I also need to change my behaviour. Lunch is a problem - eating too much too quickly makes me feel bloated and full. I need to slow down and eat over a period of time - just small amounts. I need to make sure that the amounts are actually small too. The compression of my tummy is so much more than I'm used to that my eat really needs to change if I'm going to be able to wear this for long periods. Little and often is what they say... going to really take effort to achieve that.

My new corset is here, and I'm wearing it :) It is soooo gorgeous and tight, but shaped sooo well that its very comfy: none of the problems I was getting with the other ones. Never again will I wear a cheap corset!
So, anyway, a few of pics of it:
I tried taking a pic of it on me, but didn't like any that I took so I'll try again soon :)
The feeling of wearing it, though is fabulous - it has a rigidity which I've not felt before - I try to suck in my tummy to escape its grip and I can't - it is relentless in its squishing of me, yet moulds round my body in all the right places
Love you all

Hihi everyone,
It's been soooo long since I wrote last - sorry everyone, just for various reasons I haven't got around to it. Part of that is that I tend to do this sort of writing on the train so or from work - I've about an hour's commute each way and it kinda fits nicely in as a relaxing pastime. However, my leg has been playing up, and actually gets quite uncomfortable sitting sometimes. Which makes it tricky to concentrate and be nice and relaxed :( It also affected my fiction writing too, which is more annoying.
But things seem a lil bit better, and in any case, it is probably not that good an excuse :) I should just try harder!
So, in corset news, back in July I ordered myself a new corset! A properly fitted and made one from Puimond via FairyGothMother in London. 8 weeks was the estimated delivery time, which was fine, I thought... I settled down to wait.
8 weeks past, then at around 9 weeks, I popped in as I was passing and they said it had been finished and was about to be shipped! Yay, I thought! So I waited a bit longer, and asked again if it was in yet... no, anyday now came the reply... waited... still not. They were chasing, trying to find out from the courier where it was, when it would be delivered. Finally, a couple of days ago, they gave up and started to make me a new one.
Then, out of the blue, this afternoon, I got a call to say that it had arrived! Just suddenly turned up! Yay! I eventually calmed down, but realised that I wasn't going to get enough time out of the office to go get it today. Soooo, tomorrow is new corset day! I wonder if I'll sleep tonight :)
I promise I'll try hard to write more - both blogs and stories, I hope you'll forgive me and keep reading
Love to you all

Dear Readers,
Got an email yesterday from GaggedUtopia, that I've another story just published there - Dolly Case, which I wrote a while ago, so you may well have read. I emailed in both that and Chastity Corset originally, and I guess its taken a while to filter down the inbox, and the queue. Miss and I were discussing Gromet (of Gromet's Plaza fame) who's currently touring the US & Europe, and wondering just how bad his inbox will be when he gets back! I don't tend to be away from my inboxes long enough to let them build up, even when I'm away: the joy of being attached to an iPhone.
Debating whether to corset today: my leg's still achy and I'm wondering if that would improve things or not - it keeps my posture much better, and my leg is more comfy when I'm like that. Then again, it may not be helping in the longer term. Sigh. Decisions, decisions! Maybe I should get all of you to decide? Vote on whether I should wear it? *giggles*
Love you all

It's another Monday morning, wet and grey here, sitting on the train, watching the greenery pass me by. Another day at work - I'll be tightly corseted once I get into the office. For those who don't know I cycle from the train station to my office, so can't really wear my corset when cycling, as much as I'd love to put it on earlier. So I pop to the ladies room with it and lace myself up when I get there. It also means I have to remove it before I go which is a bit depressing. But it seems to work. I get to do a little bit of exercise each day, and not have to pay for or use public transport, and I still get to be corseted at work.
GaggedUtopia have published the second part of my Chastity Corset story - go have a look, if you haven't already on my story site. Its a nice feeling, knowing how well its been received there, to know there's another part up. Working on the next part, but it is still at the early stages, so it will be a few weeks, I suspect. These things take time!

These things take time!
Ohhh, how I've missed this feeling! Sitting here on the train to work, feeling its tightness around my middle. My tummy is compressed: if I put my hand on it it feels hard and rigid, the pins of the busk giving it definition where my tummy button was one a feature. Two hands on my hips and I feel the shape of the garment, moulding me, shaping my body to conform to its shape, restricting me, holding me tight and giving me such a figure.
I'm trapped, now, I might get a chance to remove it once I'm in the office, but I'm unlikely to do so so early. But otherwise, removing it is tricky without attracting attention. Walking out of the ladies room clutching a pink corset might earn me very funny looks. But that just adds to the feelings I'm having. Its an imperative almost as strong as if there was a padlock physically enforcing my enclosure.
I stretch, lifting my arms above my head, seeing if there's relief from the compression, but there is none: its still just as tight around me. There is no escape from its clutches. Only this evening, when I'm home and safe will I be able to take it off. Only then will I be free to loosen its laces, pop open the busk and feel the freedom which will soon be denied me much more often.
But that time cannot come slow enough for me...

Hi all,
I've done it, I've finished Part 2 of Chastity Corset - you can read it on my site and it has been submitted to Gagged Utopia and Gromet's Plaza. On to Part 3! I expect there to be several more parts, as you'll probably guess once you read it (I hope I don't give too much away ;) )
I do love writing - it was quite exhilarating to realise the other evening that it was finished and to be able to see it up there, and look and see the number of people who have looked at it already! The first part has passed 9000 views on Utopia, which is amazing! I'm sooo pleased!
I'm corsetless this week, which is really hard - I miss it so, and I really hope that I'm able to wear it next week at least a couple of days - I really must take it easy and not overdo it. I'm almost at a point where I may well be looking for my next one. I've almost lost enough weight that I'm going to be happy that I don't lose so much more that it wouldn't fit me, so I may well go quite soon and get fitted. They take about 8 weeks to make (from FairyGothMother) so I'm still going to have a bit of a wait, but I'm sure it will be worth it! I love their stuff soo much I want to buy it all, but sadly I'd be bankrupt if I got too much ;)
Love you all

Well, so I'm taking a week off my corset. Decided on Friday that I needed to give my body a rest and chance to recover - I've been getting a bit of discomfort in my hip, so thought it sensible to see how it goes without being corseted - I have been overdoing a it little maybe, so a wee break will do me good.
But I'm missing it sooo much! It's soooo hard to resist lacing myself into it in the morning, I miss its clutches, holding me in the whole day. But next week, I shall ease gently into it, and continue
The second part of Chastity Corset is up on my Google Sites site :) https://sites.google.com/site/cazasbookclub/home/chastity-corset/part-2
Going to submit it to Gagged Utopia and Gromet soon, so please tell me if you spot grammatical or spelling errors :)

*wavies* Sorry for the long time between updates, but I've been concentrating on writing. My first part of the Chastity Corset story is now up on Gagged Utopia, but I'm guessing most people reading this will have read that. If you haven't then get over there now and read it! *giggles* because... part 2 is coming very soon. I've written it, I'm just checking, proof reading, getting people to proof read and critique, and then I'll be ready to publish! It will almost certainly be this week...
Oh, and there will be at least another 4 parts, probably more like 5 or 6 to the story, as you'll see when you read it, so I'm going to be quite busy over the next few weeks writing it all! Its a good thing I enjoy the writing, and love you all so!
And of course, I continue to wear my corset as much as possible... Research, you understand :)
Love you all, my loyal readers

This blog is more and more about my corset wearing, and less and less about writing - I really should be writing more! Now I'm back home, I promise I'll write some more for all you lovely people. But I do hope you all enjoy hearing about my experiences? Do feel free to let me know.
So yesterday, I managed to sleep in until about 1 o'clock! And still tightly corseted, so I've beaten my record with about 27 hours. I wonderful feeling, and was all tightly cupcaked all day. Finally removed it this morning after a restless night - had real trouble getting to sleep, probably due to my sleeping until the afternoon. Having a day off today - apart from my flight, I've been corseted the best part of a week, and I don't want to over do it. It may be too late, for that, of course, but I should try to give my body time to adjust.

Woke this morning, after being tightly corseted for 22 and a half hours. I slept very well, considering the tightness around my waist, and it was a lovely feeling waking to that tightness, being constricted and squeezed in my middle.
I didn't want to take it off, so I made coffee and wandered Second Life a little, before packing and then, finally, loosening the laces and taking it off around 9am, meaning I'd been corseted for 25hours, the longest I've been continually.
Is this the start of a trend? I don't think so - I love wearing it, but life is what it is, and while its fun to do while I'm away, 23/7 corseting is a big commitment in terms of lifestyle, wardrobe etc. that I don't think I'm ready for it. Maybe sometime in the future. Of course, its not going to stop me wearing it to work, and as much as possible!
I've not got as much writing done as I'd like to have while I've been away. You will have noticed a few blog posts, but aside from that not much else. The conference was good, but quite draining - lots of stuff going into my head, lots of new people to meet and quite alot of food and drink! I think I miss my quiet couple of hours on the train each day, so I'm looking forward to getting back to a normalish routine.
So, I'm sitting in Baltimore airport just now, with my laptop, waiting on my flight how - will get back tomorrow morning stupidly early, when I might manage to post this blog entry!

So yesterday was my first ever 23 hour day corseted. I slept overnight without removing it, and just took it off when I got up around 7.
I had an hour out of if, to wash and toilet, then laced myself back in for the day. Managed to get it somewhat more comfy too - yesterday it was a bit high to keep it from pressing too much on my hips which have been a bit painful. But today, I managed to get the pressure about right, so was able to wear it a bit lower which was a much better fit.
Had a good day, keeping mobile enough so as not to be too stiff, but then made the mistake of going out to a Brazilian restaurant - way too much food, I'm sure my tummy would have got twice as big had it not been so squished - was feeling quite uncomfortable. But I'm still wearing it - things are settling down tummy wise, but still feel full.
However, I shall do another 23 hours, I think. Tomorrow I fly home back to the UK, so I shan't wear it on the plane - going through security with steel bones round your middle probably isn't the wisest thing to do.
Its been nice being in a different timezone for a while - getting to meet a different set of people in SL is kinda fun. I hope I manage to get back across again in the near future...

I laced myself into my cupcakes this morning at about 8am, and have managed, today, to wear it ever since - its now about midnight, and I've still got a very tight waist. I've had my moments today - this morning, sitting down, it was digging into my right hip and a lil uncomfortable, but managed to adjust it so it was OK.
Sitting down, which I'm doing alot at the conference, isn't the best position for a corseted Dolly, but I was OK - made sure I moved when I could, and kept as upright as possible.
Lunch came and went - just a salad and sandwich, then on to the afternoon, which is my usual time where I feel like ripping it off and being free. But managed to resist that urge, and went on through dinner into the evening, which brings me to now.
So, 16 hours so far, and I'm quite inclined to sleep in it tonight - I've been sleeping in my old one, but that's really not tight, so I think a night in my cupcakes will be a nice idea. Aim for 23 hours wearing it, take it off for a quick shower, then back on for the next day.
I guess I'll see how the night goes - I may be up in the middle of the night taking it off, but at least I'll have tried :)

So I'm here in Baltimore for a conference, thanks to my works for sending me, but of course, I brought along my corsets, and have been wearing them as much as possible.
I arrived on Saturday night after alot of travelling from London, and just flopped when I got to my hotel room. My plan was to wear my corsets as much as possible, aiming at 23x7 corseting. So, upon arrival, as tired as I was, I laced myself into my corset. Admittedly, just my older one which I'm almost too slim for now, but it still felt good to have it wrapped around me, gently squeezing my tummy. I spent a restless night, perhaps due to the corset, but more likely due to the jet-lag, and then was awake way too early.
I showered and dressed, lacing myself into my cupcake corset, and headed down for breakfast. Just a bagel and some cream cheese - my fear this week is those large US food portions will strike my slim waist and I'll put on loads of weight. *giggles* all the more reason to wear my corset, so I can't get any more food in.
I do have a bit of an issue when it comes to eating, where I do feel I have to eat everything on my plate, and not waste any. I look at it and think that it would be such a waste to leave it. So, if the portions are big, I'll try to eat it all up. I had this problem on Sunday where I ordered a club sandwich, and it was huge, but my mind said I had to eat it all - ate most of it and regretted it, since my tummy wasn't big enough to take it. Had to go back to my hotel room and loosen things off. But then, I think I'd over done it anyway, making things too tight. So loosening things off was a good thing.
I don't think my cupcake corset is as comfy as the my others. I suspect that's because it is a lil bit too small for my waist, and the steel bones don't sit in quite the right places for my anatomy. So I have to be very careful how I lace it, where it sits on my body, how tight it goes etc. But I just love how it looks on me, so I guess I'll continue to take that care and lace myself into it. I am saving up for a custom one from FairyGothMother, but they are rather pricey, so want to make sure I'm at my proper weight and waist size before I order it.
I was lying the bed on Sunday, playing with my camera, wanting to know what my waist actually looked like - OK, so I could've used a mirror, but that would have meant getting up - and took this photo which I thought I'd shared with my loyal readers, who I love dearly. I'm sure I'll write more before this week is out.

OK, I'm seriously in love! This is the tightest thing I've ever worn... yesterday was quite a day:
I got up a little bit early, since I knew that it would take a bit more effort to lace myself in and I really didn't want to rush. That was around 5:45 - abluted, underwear, liner, then corset.
It took a little bit to put it on - mostly the modesty panel. Since this corset doesn't come anywhere near closing, it looks a little strange without it, and much better with. So that takes a bit of adjusting. Then tighter and tighter. It does go really quite tight, and I think I over did it a bit, but more of that later. Breathed a bit more, then finished dressing, and made it out of the door in good time to walk to the station and catch my train. Walking was, um, careful shall we say - I'm always amazed at how it affects my motion when moving, more so given its particular tightness today!
My usual spot on the train. There's a couple of different sorts of seats on the train - the main ones are semi-reclined, and actually quite uncomfortable in a corset - I lean back too far, rather than the quite upright posture they force on you. It's similar with sofas and armchairs. The other sort are flip down seats in the space put aside for wheelchairs, prams etc. These are much better, and I can sit quite happily here with my back nice and upright, and there's a little table for my laptop too :)
Sitting is quite different - no slouching is possible - just good posture and being upright! So these seats are ideal.
Took the tube into the office, and made it there. By this time I was getting quite uncomfortable, and suspected I'd tightened it up to much. Quick trip to the ladies room in the office, and slackened the laces off just a little bit, which improved things.
The morning wore on - very aware of my constriction. Eventually I had to go and loosen again before Lunch. I started to change the way I was breathing which helped alot. More up and down rather than in and out - like a heaving chest like effect.
Lunchtime was a great relief, able to go out for a walk, which is the best part for me - corsets should be moved in. Then you feel the way they're restricting your body the way its squeezing your waist and tummy, its relentless squeezing of your torso, the pressure on your hips, the way it forces your back straight and your chest out, the way your hips sway when you're walking.
Its also the relief from sitting down, I must add - sitting is the worst position to be in when corseted, so its lovely to be up for a while.
The afternoon progressed, and towards the end I was out visiting a customer firstly, then in a meeting, both of which were quite an experience, being so tightly laced and having to try to sit nice and naturally so as not to look weird.
Then it was hometime - took the bus and stood all the way, even when someone offered me their seat! Much more comfortable to stand!
Sat on the train, reflecting my very bound day - I am so in love with this corset, it really is so wonderfully tight on me, I love what it does to my body, and to my mind. I think I'm going to wear it a lot more!
Today is going to be my first full day in my new corset. And it is tight! I probably should have measured my waist, for the record, but about half an hour I laced myself into my new corset, and it is now very firmly squishing my insides to very unnatural degrees. It is such a wonderful feeling! Its hard to describe to someone who's not experienced it - people say its like being hugged, but this is quite a long way above that.
Imagine that someone has trapped your tummy in a pink satin vice, that you feel it squishing your waist line unceasingly, no chance of an relief.
Imagine your posture - no chance of slouching, having to sit up to remain even close to comfortable.
Imagine not feeling hungry all day, mostly because you have no stomach space, only being able to nibble.
Imagine not being able to bend, your whole torso fixed in one position, maybe being able to reachi your toes, but definitely not the floor.
but
Imagine having the most amazing figure: narrow waist, drawing attention to curvy hips and bust.
Imagine the feeling of knowing you're trapped inside this, with no way to remove it without embarrassment, constricted for the whole day.
Imagine knowing that your quest to be slimmer is being helped with not being able to eat.
Imagine being on the edge of sexual excitement all day, being so close to being turned on all day, that you might explode with pleasure at any moment.
Imagine being corseted.
So, I may or may not be wearing this at the end of the day. I hope I will be, but it may become too unbearable, or, for that matter, too distracting: I am meant to be working today after all!

Well, as I thought I would, I've gone and bought myself a new corset!
So, I went to the shop, Burleska up in Camden, and basically said that I'm getting a custom made one but need one in the meantime. I tried on one which was only a couple of inches smaller than my current one, and that was tight, but there wasn't much slack, so it wouldn't have lasted long. There wasn't really anything in the next size down, so she suggested I try this one, which was 2 inches smaller yet - 6 inches smaller in total than my current corset! When she'd finished tightening, I could hardly breathe! It was wonderful! It has quite a large gap at the back, so I've a really incentive to lose lots more weight now and that means I won't shrink out of it too fast - probably not at all, really. And I really love the colour and design - gorgeous and cute - you know I just love pink. Can't wait to wear it tomorrow! I really don't know how long I'll last in it, though - it is seriously more severe than anything I've worn before. I'll write more tomorrow to let everyone know!

Well, yesterday I reached a decision - not hugely momentous, but should have an effect on my life. I'm going to buy a new corset today. Not the expensive properly fitted on, you understand, but another interim one. I was um-ing and ah-ing over the weekend and most of yesterday about whether my current one would last me longer, but yesterday afternoon I realised it was actually more uncomfortable for being too loose.
A bit paradoxical, I know, but let me explain: a properly fitting corset will support you, keep you firmly upright with good posture, hold you in all the right places. Your body adjusts to this, and expects to be held, squished.
So, with a badly fitting corset, it supports me in some places, but not in others, and my body has to work to support me in a position which isn't completely natural, and therefore gets stressed, especially sitting down for a time, for example.
So, I therefore need to get a new one if I'm going to continue to corset most days. Part of my dilemma was using some of my savings towards my fitted corset for this one, but I also don't want to be corsetless too long, so its the only sensible option :)
I've been doing more writing, squeezing the words out one by one, so hopefully a new story won't be too far off... the second part of Chastity Corset. There, I've said it now, now I've got to do it!

I started to do more writing yesterday, trying to write the second part of my Chastity Corset story. Its hard - I usually have quite a clear idea of where the plot will go, but I only had a vague idea (which I won't give away) so it was quite hard work expanding on that out to a reasonable short story length. I guess its like writers block a lil bit. I tend to work out plots in my mind before putting them down in writing, which seems to work OK for me. So I think I've got this part worked out in my head - just have to actually write it now!
Went out at lunchtime yesterday corset hunting. My current one is getting loose, and I'm away for a week in about a week and a half at a conference in the US, so I would like something that fits properly for when I'm there. My normal corset shop up until now is Burleska which I'd definitely recommend. They have a shop up in Camden, where I usually go, rather than using mail order, so I can see and try on before I buy. So I went up yesterday, and they have a lovely cupcake one which I quite fancy, so maybe next week, I'll go get it for being away.
I browsed alot too, gazing at the gorgeous Gothic clothing and Lolita dresses. Camden Market really is a wonderful place - I could spend hours there, wandering the narrow lanes, looking at all the little shops - some are very touristy, others less so - a couple were selling what looked like quite serious corsets. Not cheap, which is always a good sign!
So another trip up next week I think, and hopefully I'll have another part to my story by then too.

Not a fun day yesterday or Friday evening - went to bed with alot of pain in my leg, and tingling in my foot and hand - woke up feeling similar, called NHS direct, who just told me to take pain killers. Called the out of hours doctor and got an appointment, but she couldn't decided what was wrong, but did rule out anything like DVT which would be an emergency. So still hobbling a lil bit, and still a bit sore.
Otherwise, spent the day yesterday doing a bit of shopping and other housey type stuff - nothing *that* interesting (why are you reading my blog again? Oh, and I meant to be interesting? oopsies! OK, I'll try a bit harder.)
Today I was helping a friend with her garden, which was quite fun, and then out with other friend and have eaten *way* too much. For those who don't know I've been dieting and slimming. That was my New Year's resolution, to lose weight, and I think I've done pretty well. I had a corset which I bought last year which I couldn't wear fully laced. That is now way too big, so I bought another one, which was 2 inches smaller, and now that is fully laced, and starting to feel a little bit loose.
So I feel fantastic, people comment that I look sooo much slimmer. I'm wearing my corset more and more too, which I'm sure helps with the weight loss. They say that it doesn't directly help - of course they make you slimmer, but then when you take them off you go back to your original size. However, while wearing it, I feel less hungry, so I'm able to eat less.
And tonight, I ate a bit more than I have recently, but by no mean loads, and I feel soooo full! I'm not even corseted, but I think my stomach must've shrunk or something, which is wonderful! I don't think I'll eat anything all week.
But my aim now is to lose so much that my current corset doesn't fit at all, then I'll get another new one, this time from FairyGothMother, get properly fitted this time, and not shrink too much that it only lasts 2 months.
Though I may have to buy another interim one - FGM take 4-8 weeks to make them, so I doubt I'd last that long without constraint :)
Well, not mine, of course, but Will and Kate's - *loved* the dress - sooooo gorgeous, it was sophisticated without being too large or overstated. And they looks so relaxed and comfortable with the whole day - I just thought it was very natural and a happy occasion, like it was just a normal wedding with a few hundred normal guests, rather than 2 *billion* people watching!
Love them both

Inspiration is a funny thing - it comes at the most unusual times. And it is the most important part of a story. I can be sitting, writing away, putting lots of words into my prose, but really not feeling inspired. I sometimes wish I'd been in the era of the typewriter, where I could yank the paper out of the rollers and screw it up into a ball, and throw it across the room at an already full waste paper basket. But, sadly, the last ever typewriter factory has just closed, and I'm not sure it would be very practical - especially as one of my favourite places to write is, as I am now, sitting on the train. But I digress, just a little bit.
But sometimes, I'll just write a few words, but know that I've got an inspired idea. Not always my own - my latest story (have you read it yet?) was inspired by a conversation with my Second Life Miss - she is quite an inspiration to me.
And of course, it helps to draw from my own life, my own experiences and dreams. Alot of what I write probably isn't realistic in real life, but that is the nature of fiction, I guess. If it was, then it wouldn't be fiction. But we can all dream
I appear to be a writer. So, I should be writing daily, really, shouldn't I? Obviously. So, I hope you've seen my writing, so you know something of what I'm about. So, I'm going to try to write something here every day.
So today I'm going to talk about corsets a little - I'm Caza and I'm a corset addict. I've started to wear it daily, almost and today was my first day since over Easter. It was just too hot and I was doing too many things like gardening to wear it. Its easier wear it in a nice air-conditioned office than out and about. So, first thing this morning, I slipped a liner over my tummy, then fastened my corset around my waist. I pulled the laces behind me as tight as I could, and felt my tummy being squished down. I tied the laces in a double bow, and carried on dressing, corset beneath my clothes.
Then it is walking to the station. It feels wonderful, the corset changes how I move, how I walk. I'm taller, my hips sway differently, my posture is good.
But my corset is too loose. Its fully laced shut and only just tight enough. My weight is dropping, and my waist is shrinking, so this won't last long. That makes me happy to be new, thinner Caza, but I'm sad as I'm going to be between corsets soon.

OK, so its been a while, but there's a new story on the way! Hope to get it finished this weekend, or early next week... I do hope you all like it :)
