I wanted to highlight that originally I had thought to only give it a few words, but that there was a compelling reason in my mind as to why it was expanded. One of the things I try to "preach" to others when creating captions is to not smother the photo and just let your words give breath to the picture and make it come alive. Hence, I wanted to give an explanation as to why I felt that I had to give this caption more verbiage.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-70403805587570122362013-12-13T18:03:50.166-05:002013-12-13T18:03:50.166-05:00I hope you did not take my fewer words comment as ...I hope you did not take my fewer words comment as a critique. that was only intended to highlight the choice of photo.

My wife is going to kill me!" dread through to relief for the hope of tolerance and possible acceptance. I wrote the last line first right before the beginning, and then filled in what needed to be said in between.<br /><br />One of the reasons I love having this blog is I get to discuss things that would never come up in a standard trading post on the Haven. For instance, anyone who knows my work has a good idea of the look and feel of the two fonts I generally use. This time I specifically went with a more gentle, feminine font that hopefully gave what she was saying a playful. but empathetic and gentle tone you can't "hear" when things are written out.but would hopefully pick up on when reading.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-73516914293819613312013-12-13T10:13:26.670-05:002013-12-13T10:13:26.670-05:00Dear Dee,
Well, as you might imagine, there are s...Dear Dee,<br /><br />Well, as you might imagine, there are soooo many things about this post that apeal to me. First, I appear to be somewhat of an inspiration to your creativity - perhaps your muse so to speak - a possibility that is quite exciting. But beyond the point that that I am mentioned in your narrative (ego! ego! ego!), I also must tell you how much I appreciate your iinsightful observations about the sissy psyche in general, and mine specifically. I have, to agree with you, been consciously attempting to, in my recitatation of my personal journey, to provide snapshots of moments in which important movement occurred between and within my cheerleader and me, individually and as a committed couple. That someone - you - has noticed and been moved by my telling of my story means more than you could imagine. I think that it is even more so because you acknowledge that you, in your feminnie persona, do not share the same inner urgings that someone who identifies as a sissy feels.<br /><br />Now, as to your caption - I honestly think it is one of your best. You could have used even fewer words and the photo alone could have said so much - "Honey! Would you please explain?" What more would a wife finding her husband in such a position need to say? However, having said that, only by way of noting that your photo selection was awesome, your own narrative truly does set the stage for the possibilities facing any couple where the woman discoveries late in the relationship that the man she married isn't really. Excellent work my dear!!<br /><br />Finally, as if you could have done any better, as you always do, your song selection to somehow add to your caption, is not only one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, but now I hear it in a new way, given the sissy linkage you have laced it with. Wonderful! <br /><br />Big sissy kisses to you Dee!<br /><br />LeeannLeeanne Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969802988317490239noreply@blogger.com
