Wake Up! It's Prom Time!

Hello everyone! This is the third installment today of a set of prom caps to commemorate both a comment from Alice and the beginning of prom season. If you like prom caps, please let me know by commenting or giving good reviews in the options below this cap: I plan on having many more prom caps in the following week, but if it gets old or people don't like these kind of caps, I'll shift my focus!

 I really liked this cap because its a very different style from what I normally do, but it allows for a lot of freedom of explanation and imagination with many perspectives, but no actual image of "Tim"...or as he'll soon realize, "Tina"! Enjoy!


You Can Run (In Heels)...

...but you can't hide at your first prom when you're dressed like this guy!


The Truth

Beginning of the prom season means a flurry of prom caps! This one focuses on the respect for the elegance and grace behind the ladies at the dance...in this case a first-person respect for two boys!

Twin Rivalry

Here is the final of the four caps today. Check out the other three below if you want more!

A trip into the heads of twin "sisters" before a school dance can be very interesting...


Halloween Twin Contest

A Halloween prize for the two best IDENTCIAL twins get one guy in skirts for longer than he anticipated.


Double Dating Competition

When two twins fight for the hand of one woman, things get competitive...


Twin HypnoSIS

So it's been about five days of polling, and it seems to be two to one in support of posting all of my caps on one day, so that's what I'll do for a while. Here are four caps for you today!

The theme for this week is twins: this first one deals with two boys with a special twin connection that changes both of their lives, for better and for worse.

Odds and Ends to Discuss

Hello everyone! After spending so much time on the blog this week for the Week O' Caps, I did a little housekeeping to improve the blog. I added some new labels, in case anyone was looking for something specific to their interests, and a quick opinion poll at the bottom of each caption (which I see some people have already discovered, which is fantastic!). And with the opinion poll at the bottom, please don't hesitate to voice disapproval if you don't like it - constructive criticism can be just as helpful as compliments!

As for future posts, I've been deliberating on how to post future captions. I think that instead of doing sets of three captions in a post, I am going to split them up into multiple different posts. The main reason for this is that I realize that some of my labels for posts only apply for one or two captions in a large set, so doing one post per caption will let people access the kind of caption that they want more easily. This doesn't mean that I won't do themes, just the themes will be in multiple different caps posted on the same day. But the other advantage of this is that I could make posts whenever I finish one, as oppose to waiting until I finish a full set. So my question to you is this: would you prefer that I post a lot of caps (a full theme of 3-however many I do) about once a week, or spread out posts for the theme over the course of the week? Right now I'm leaning towards doing a lot of caps on one or two days a week, but I would like you to share your opinion in the following way: If you want me to keep doing a lot of caps on one or two days, click the "Fantastic!" option on the opinion poll at the bottom of this post; if you want me to do single caps 3-5 times a week, instead click "Below Average" in the same poll. Feedback in the comments section is also appreciated!

Okay, so I will be gauging the poll at the bottom of this post to judge what I should do - if I get a large vote one way or another, I will do that format for posting caps. 

Thanks,
Elena Starz

Week O' Caps 7: The Finale!

This is it! The seventh and culminating installment of the Week O' Caps! I've really felt good about all the caps this week, and the comments have been incredibly supportive, which is great to hear! Thanks to Lee for the sweet comments on the last cap and also to Jackie Rose for suggesting a trait to focus on in the future - I really appreciate the feedback!
The final cap of this week comes from a request from Alice. I did a cap for Courtney over at Courtney's Clean Caps (a fantastic site, btw, so check it out!) in the middle of January which left a little room for a sequel, which Alice was hoping I would do. I figured that it would be a great idea to finish this week with a request from a viewer, because this week has been both about me getting back into captioning, but also it has been a way to show my appreciation to those who view my TG blog. So without further ado, here is the sequel and final cap of the Week O' Caps!


Week O' Caps 6

Hi all! I know that this post is a bit later than the last few have been, but I said I was going to do a week straight of caps, and I won't drop that promise! This next cap is playing with a new concept I'm considering working with, based on the question "What makes a girl a girl?". There are a lot of qualities that differentiate boys from girls in society, and I think it would be interesting to focus on one of these traits per cap and have the guy transformed to reflect this. For example, this cap deals with makeup:


If you like the concept of picking traits to emphasize in a cap like this, let me know in the comments below. Even better would be if you have a specific trait you would like to see captioned: that would really help, as different people identify femininity with different qualities. So if you have thoughts, please share! Thanks!

Week O' Caps 5

Almost done with my Week O' Caps, only got two more after this one, but it feels great to start churning these out. But while often it takes a lot of thought to make a successful caption, sometimes one look at an image is all you need to know where it's going to go. So is the case with this image, which practically wrote a cap for itself. Enjoy!

Week O' Caps 4

Halfway through the week, and the support keeps rolling in from MsLaraYves, HerpleDerplePerpleNerple, and Crow again! Thank you all for the lovely comments! This next caption I was debating whether or not to release, but I decided to give you all a sneak peek of what is to come in the future. A while back, right before my caption production fell off, someone mentioned how much they liked the Vanity Mirror series that I made. I actually really like the concept, and plan on continuing the creation of captions pertaining to this idea of mirrors helping boys becoming infatuated with femininity. So in honor of this preview, here is one such Vanity Mirror cap. Hope you enjoy it!

Week O' Caps 3

A big shout out to Lee and Alice for the comments (as well as Victoria Hyde for continuing to give support!) on the last post. I can honestly say that I've been feeling really good about the last few caps I've made (and will be continuing to post) this week, and a little chatter in the comments section always helps me know if I'm on the right path! So without further ado, here is the third caption of the week, based around a new gadget created by BimboTech (a part of the Bimbo Inc. series that I've had in the past). Enjoy!

Week O' Caps Day 2

Monologue and Future Plans

Hello everyone. I've got a lot on my mind right now, so I just wanted to say a few things for all out there who still pay attention to my posts. First, I know that I haven't been posting very much, and I'm sorry for that. Life is a funny thing and takes twists and turns that you don't really expect. But I am trying to get back up on my captioning feet and start posting more regularly. I'm going to start by posting a caption per day for about a week (as a little apology for being so sparing on the posts the last two months or so). After that, I'll go back to my regular sets of 3-however many I choose once a week, which is what is the most efficient for me. That being said, I'd like to ask you all two things to help me get along.

1. If you have any images, ideas, or both that you would like to caption, please don't hesitate to email me at ElenaStarz4372@gmail.com. This would be a big help to me because my biggest problem currently is getting inspired by any of the images I currently have, and your images and ideas would help rekindle the fire I had when I first started this blog. You can send things to me anonymously, post in the comment section below with ideas/links to pictures - I don't really care, I would just like to see people with opinions share their thoughts.
2. Speaking of comments, it'd be really nice to hear from you all every once in a while. I've never been a person to ask for comments, and I don't really want to be someone who requires comments for posts to continue, but it'd be much appreciated if you took 30 seconds to say anything, good or bad, so I know that people read my caps. When I'm stuck in a rut like I currently am and don't get any feedback on the few posts I have made recently, it makes it harder to feel like its worth taking the time to share captions. And I promise to respond if you have questions or feedback of any sort - I realize that commenting is not necessarily a one way street, and I plan on getting better on responding so you all know that you're words have reached me and that they are appreciated greatly.

So sorry for talking so long, but I needed to get that off my chest. On the other hand, the guy in my first caption of the Week-O-Caps ends up getting something ON his chest; and his hair, and his lips, and his eyelids and lashes. Enjoy!

Hypnotic Headpieces

Hello all. I got a real sense of inspiration from the image in the first cap in this set, which led to a small series explained by the title of this post. Enjoy!
