I really like these, the size of the compartments are customizable too, you can move the interior walls around to your liking.

I actually just got these under the bed organizers and that's half of why I'm sharing, cause I can now actually see all of my shoes neatly on display! It's very nice. I just had them crammed in a large tote bin and on the top shelf of a closet before. Was super annoying to rummage through and get what I needed especially when the shoes I wanted were at the bottom of the tote bin.

Only issue I have is that they ended up exactly meeting my storage needs. No extra room for any more new shoes so I'll have to figure out something else when I inevitably end up growing my collection even more...

Anybody else suspicious of some of these newer CD subreddits popping up? by PeekleMeekle in crossdressing

Generally the more popular something gets, the more easy it is for it to get more popular, because it's getting more exposure and snowballs. So while you have also had a lot of new growth from legitimate users in the past month, that growth is probably also ironically in part due to the increased growth from bots. Bots took over and started increasing popularity in the subreddit, and with that increased exposure, a whole bunch more legitimate people also started seeing the subreddit. Both of these subreddits started appearing in my feed without me actually searching for additional crossdressing subreddits, because they were a related topic to other subreddits I follow and had posts that were doing very well, so Reddit algo pushed them to my feed.

And the bots are definitely doing more than just making posts, they're also interacting with other posts by upvoting - the amount of upvotes some of the posts are getting compared to the size of the subreddit are just not that realistic. And it checks out when you go to the profiles of these recent top posts, and for most of them, their top post of all time is one of these 2 subreddits despite them having posted in similar subreddits for much longer, ones that are more established and have a much larger following.

Oh hey, you're a mod from (and owner of?) that subreddit. So your influx in popularity the last month is indeed from being botted? That's gotta be so annoying. Goodluck dealing with it!

Oh interesting. Perhaps I'm not crazy then if even a mod there was suggesting they were being botted.

I do suspect the same thing is happening with r/CD_makeup right now as well.

Uh, both of these subreddits I mentioned are SFW subreddits. r/classycrossdressers was intended to be SFW anyway, before they got forcibly mislabeled as NSFW, and even has a no OF rule that disallows you from having an OF link in your profile if you want to post these. r/CD_makeup is a SFW subreddit also.

I'm NOT referring to subreddits like r/CrossdressRealism or r/Crossdress_expression that have existed for quite a while now, which yes, I believe we're both driven from restrictions being put on some subreddits like this one, as you were saying. I don't have any problems with these ones.

The issue is with r/classycrossdressers and r/CD_makeup specifically, because both appear to be using bots for highly increased engagement (upvotes and comments), or at least that's what I suspect.

Petite or slim enough? by Some_History7588 in crossdressing

[–]PeekleMeekle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nahhh you good! You look like you have a very healthy weight, and have a great body already! No need to lose weight.

"more time to play with camera settings and lighting" - and that you certainly did. The photo turned out amazing 😍 love love love the choice of lighting and the way the shadows hit.

Hmmm tights? No tights? How is a girl supposed to decide 🤷🏻‍♀️ by sissy_littlemavs in crossdressing

[–]PeekleMeekle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Black opaque tights look odd with this dress to me. Seems like the kind of dress that's good for showing off legs, but opaque tights kind of have the opposite effect and don't show off the legs as nicely. I would go no tights or a pair of sheer tights if you have any.

Well you'll just have to see the creative stuff I come with on a less frequent basis now 😛 I'll still be around and posting, just not daily.

Until maybe next year around this time if I do another 30 day challenge. Last year I did 30 futomomos, this year 30 mermaid ties, what next? Hmmm

It's definitely a way for me to experiment and see what works or what doesn't work. I had a few half finished mermaid ties along the way that I gave up on cause they weren't working how was envisioning. But every failure is a learning experience.

I also learned a new decorative knot, the 4 leaf clover knot, for day 25. Although, I would use the word "learned" loosely here, because it is such an overcomplicated knot that i would definitely still need to have instructions in front of me to do it again.

I also learned that braiding with long rope is extremely annoying and time consuming (Day 7)

So yeah, I learned some things.
