Hiya-once again it has been a little while since I last wrote here in my blog,so I thought I would write a little more.First off can I thank all those who have sent me messages with their kind words and thoughts....it means a lot.I would also like to offer apologies for not replying.My only excuse for not replying is that I have been soooo busy at work and in my social life.In my profile page I have stated that I do part-time modelling,I would like to clarify that statement a little if I may.The modelling that I do is mostly for friends of Gabrielle who she met at art school,some of who now are photographers,graphic artists etc. as it helps their port-folios-plus I get to have some great pictures of myself at no cost.When I was first asked by Gaby if I would pose for pictures I was horrified at such a thought,because contrary to what you may or may not think of me,I am an extremely shy girl.Over time the more I kept getting asked and thinking about posing for pictures,the more I came to realise that in fact I did want to.I now find that posing in front of a camera helps overcome that shyness that I had-I still have a little of it mind in that I still find it difficult to make that initial move in meeting someone that I have not met before-but I am getting better.I have no plans to take the modelling further than it is,I am just happy in helping out friends.Ok that's about it for now,love n kisses to all,especially my friends,take care,Allissande,xxx

Hi everyone I hope you are all well.I have not written in my blog for a little while,only I have been really busy just lately,what with one thing and another.Anyway in one of my previous blogs I said that I would tell you how I went about "coming-out" where I  work as Allissande.I had been working for my company for about a year and although I was living as a girl 24/7 in my private life,at work I was male.While at work I did my best to conceal my body I wore tight sports bras and oversize shirts and jackets to hide my boobs and wore my hair in a pony-tail.Most of the girls in my department who were very friendly towards me always teased and joked with me about me being gay,which I always took as a bit of fun too.By this time I was constantly hating having to hide my body and not being the real me at work.I decided that I had to be me at work too,so I made an appointment to see my Human Resources department.I told them all about myself and of my plans and they were fantastic about,100% supportive.I also told them that I needed a little time to think how I wanted to handle it.A week after seeing my HR department I asked my immediate boss if we could go to lunch together as there was something that I needed to talk to him about.Once again after telling him all about myself he was really understanding and supportive also-he even volunteered to tell my colleagues,but I thought that would be better coming from me.Next day I told my colleagues all about me and of my plans,most of the guys wished me luck but the girls were really pleased for me and that if I needed any help in any way that I just had to ask.I then took a fortnights holiday to sort things out.When the day arrived for me to go to work as Allissande arrived I felt a mixture of emotions-relief,excitement,nervousness all at the same time.For my fist day at work I had had my hair semi permed and wore it loose,I wore a grey pencil-skirt with a matching short jacket.I was asked to report to HR first on arrival at work.After telling me how good I looked and running through a few things that needed sorting out,I was escorted down to mt department.I was then introduced to my colleagues and boss as the "new girl".On my desk was a huge boquet of flowers from everyone and a bottle of champagne from my boss.The girls made a real fuss of me,I was sooo sooo happy.Looking back now,and I know hindsight is a wonderful thing,but if I knew that things would be that " smoothe" about coming out at work,then I would have done it sooner.Really for me it was all about confidence and believing in myself.Hope that helps some of you girls,if I can be of any help further,you only need to ask.Take care of yourselves,speak soon,love Allissande,xx
