My first blogpost

Welcome to this blog!

I am Annalai and this is my first post on my new blog and I am not exactly sure where to start. This blog is going to be about me and my affection to fashion, small waists and wearing corsets. It will also cover some of my other interests.
I am a single, petite women living in Sweden. It would be easier for me to write in Swedish but most of you would not understand a word of it. So, this blog will be in English. Sometimes it is difficult for me to explain things in English so feel free to ask or correct me if my writing is not clear.

I have been wearing tight corsets for about 10 years now. My main reason for tight lacing is to get a smaller waist as I love how women in the Victorian time and the 50’s looked like. It is a nice extra surprise that my corset solved for good my back problem that I have had for many years. I feel comfortable and more healthy and do know my body better compared to before I started to wear tight corsets.

When I started to train my waist I did not aim to get an 18 inch waist. My goal was 23 inch but as I felt comfortable and it all went so smoothly and easy, I continued to lace further down and my goal changed to 18 inch. It took me four years to slowly and comfortable reduce my waist to 18 inch.

It is a huge misunderstanding to think that tight-lacing is painful or unhealthy. It is not and should not be unless you are doing something totally wrong, like lacing too tight or too fast or wearing an ill-fitting corset not suitable for tightlacing.

Wow, and Wow again !
Congratulations from Ireland on your lovely blog , Anailai , and it's interesting too how you have become so accustomed to being corsetted and girdled - it seems you don't mind at all .
You have a very beautiful and kind looking face too , I hope you don't mind me saying that .

Those corsets & girdles are very pretty - they are simply gorgeous , even stunning on you !
Again, warm congratulations , I am your fan for life .
I am developing a bit of a belly myself lately though I am very active and watch what I eat too .

As a man , is there anything you would specially and personally recommend so I can fit back into the slim trousers of my favourite suits again when I am going out to dinner , or to special functions ?

I would only have to wear it for a few hours socialising , maybe a girdle or truss of some sort -

But again, you are fabulous looking , and a really nice person too .

As your fan , hopefully we'll meet if you ever come to Ireland ...

Your English writing is perfect , but then Swedish people that I know here in Ireland have excellent English .

PS : I never comment on the corsetry forums here , but I am simply stunned by you !!!

What waist-size did you start out with , Annalai , if you don't mind me asking ?
Maybe we can get together and do a photo shoot and story on this for the UK and Irish newspapers, sometime .
I'm a qualified Journalist for years , so I know a good story when I see one .
However , I shall say or do nothing without your permission and agreement .
But if I can help, let me know .

NB : And to think all this started because I got alarmed over a one-inch belly and looked up the Corsetry website for tips and help , as I am always a very slim fellow and as thin as a rake .

Friends just reply , even girlfriends who should understand my alarm , that
" It's just natural, you're getting old . "
But I reckon I can do something about it , I'm convinced that maybe a girdle or something exists that will slim me back to my normal self .
I am always six foot tall , muscular and slim , so , yes , I worry about this latest development and you are all an inspiration , especially Annalai , and lovely too. Thanks , Michael .
