Worth

A deal that ends up being worth it...but for what reason?

Trashy

Recent contest submissions have been posted and a new contest is up on Ariel's site!

I had a really good idea for this but don't know if the execution is quite right. Hope you enjoy anyways!

"Hot Donuts"

Final pitch for the Identity Crisis Contest - you've got 30 hours to get caps in if you haven't! In the meantime, enjoy this fun, flirty interview on an successful entrepreneur!

Returning

Just an update to say I am finally back to checking email regularly - still probably going to be posting more on sister sites because I've got some fun stuff coming up on them. Looking for more entrants in the Identity Crisis Contest, so if you haven't already sent me something (and thanks to those who did - the entries have been superb), please try to do that in the next few days! Thanks!

Knowing His Holidays

Now normally I don't do very many holiday themed caps, but this picture was just screaming "St. Patrick's Day". Enjoy!

Talkative Uncle

So I'm going to be absent for a little bit of time while I deal with some real-life things. I'm more likely going to post caps on the next few days on Maddi's or Serena's site as I'm starting to run out of caps on this main site but have a nice stockpile in these other two locations. As a note, I'll still be accepting submissions for the Identity Crisis Contest on Ariel's site during this time - however I may not reply immediately to submissions due to my absence. Thanks for being understanding and hope you enjoy the caps I do put up while I'm out.

Raw Intensissy

As a note, the newest contest is up on Ariel's contest site. There's a new email to send caps to for this contest, so please try to use that if you want to participate!

Haven't done a Bimbo Inc. cap in a while so I scrolled through my files and found this. It's not explicitly about Bimbo Inc (and in fact is more character-driven) but it's definitely the kind of product they would sell. Enjoy!

Mixed Up Order

Hi everyone! With all the breaks between captions (even though the sister sites have had caps when I haven't!) I thought it might be time for a two-parter. Note that while all series captions like Duck Flu/Mildew High Dress Code will be on Serena's site, I still may have the occassional two-four parter here. This is one of those cases! It's based after a before and after image for a hair cap I liked - hope you enjoy it as well!

The Boys Club

Today''s cap is a bit of a deja vu moment for me - I had this idea for a cap and wrote it, but when I finished I realized that it was VERY similar to this caption I made almost three years ago. Obviously the exact details are different, but the general theme of individual explanations of a group, color-coded for each person, holds true for both. Which do you think is better (I hope it's the new one...otherwise I really haven't improved much in three years! :p)

Taken

Hello! Sorry for the delay - messed up the sequence of which blog was posting when! Here is a little ode to the frequently quoted movie "Taken"...bimbo version! Enjoy!

So Cute

I don't think I've done a cap with a picture that doesn't include a face in a long time...but I think this pic screams "bimbo" enough to me to justify the selection :) Enjoy!

Some Things Never Change

FYI the Advertisement Caption Contest is up on Starz Caption Contests - definitely go check that out because there are some AMAZING captions from both an artistic and writing standpoint. In the future all caption contest content will be exclusively hosted on this new sister blog, but I will continue to plug it on this site every once in a while to hopefully attract more submissions.

Today's cap I like for a lot of reasons - the premise of the cap is unique, the title itself is ironically relevant considering my new expansion into multiple sister blogs, and I really like the image a lot (epsecially once you get to the end of the cap). Read on to see what I mean!

Dream Life

After getting a few more submissions, I've decided to post the submissions for the Advertisement Caption Contest in two days. Feel free to send a few more before then if you like - they will appear on the new caption contest sister site in about 36 hours!

Your Turn

Thanks to those who have been commenting and telling me whether they knew I was the captioner behind Serena and Hallie's blogs - it's quite interesting to hear! Another plug for the Advertisement Caption Contest - I only seen a couple captions recently so although I'd like to extend it longer, if I don't see any more by Friday I'll just post the submissions I have now (over on Ariel Starz's caption contest site!).

One of the interesting thing I've had to deal with since opening up these sister blogs is trying to decide where to place certain caps. Should it go on Hallie's Sissy Island site just because it's a sissy cap? If it could be interpreted as an interracial cap, will it be posted to Maddi's site? I've come to the conclusion that if I'm unsure, I'll just put it on the original site - as is the case with this cap. Quite proud of the way it's structured and hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Two Men Enter...

Hi all! So please check out my note from yesterday about the Starz Sister Blogs. I've added some links to the side of each so you can switch between each. Also, the current Advertisement Caption Contest is still going on so give it a shot if you haven't already! Finally, I want to reiterate that while I may not have a daily cap up on this main site anymore, at least one of the sister blogs will have a cap each day. 

Re-Introductions: The Starz Sisters

So I mentioned in a post a few days ago that there was something I wanted to reveal. It's been something I've been struggling to do for a while now, simply because timing is important and I wasn't quite sure of the reaction. Having just gone through the possibility of moving sites during the Blogger incident and seeing the adjustment it would take, I decided that now was a good time to make this announcement that will affect how this blog is run. The "reveal" is simply this - I am multiple Starz captioners.

Some clever folks who have been around the community a while might already know what this is referring to, but to everyone else some explaining is in order. Way back in January 2013, I took the longest extended hiatus in the history of this blog, not posting caps from then until late September 2013. The reasons were personal ones that continue to plague me in various forms even today - captioning sucks up a lot of time and occasionally makes me question myself when I am struggling emotionally. However, I did not stop captioning during that 8 month period of time. I actually went on to create two new sites about a month after stopping posts on this site; Serena Starz TG Captions (which I promoted on my blog as the work of a "fan") and Hallie Starz TG Captions (a site I did not promote as an experiment to see how difficult it was to increase the popularity of an unknown site). All caps on these sites were done by me.

So why did I do this? Honestly, it was because I loved captioning too much to quit but wanted to do something "fresh" without the pressure of completing a daily cap as Elena. I was about one-fifth of the way through my "HTBABB 101" series without any ideas and tired of doing the same cap over and over; so I started over. "Serena" focused on two new series and "Hallie" created a wonderful universe called "Sissy Island". I was (and still am) proud of the work I published on those sites, but was afraid of revealing my true identity because I didn't want people to think that I flaked out on my original site/HTBABB 101 series so quickly.

To those who this is a surprise, I apologize if this revelation offends you or makes you think I am sneaky and untrustworthy. All I ask is for a bit of understanding - I may have done a somewhat selfish thing but it was something necessary for my personal survival and the eventual revival of this blog. Posting caps daily is something I only started after I returned from my work as Serena/Hallie and I hope the collective body of work I have done speaks to how much my work is done to please you all. If a selfish act is the root of many more selfless acts, I think it has some merit.

Now why am I telling you all this now? Because these old sites and personalities are coming back in the form of "Starz Sister Sites". I have come to the conclusion that in order to "expand" my work, I will need to compartmentalize it better. So what I plan on doing is updating/creating sites specifically tailored to a certain style of captions, with a unique Starz "sister" controlling each site. Serena Starz will host "Starz TG Series" in honor of the two great series I made back in 2013, which will be the location of new editions of the Duck Flu and Mildew High Dress Code series. Hallie Starz will be in control of "Starz Sissy Island", a site that will contain exclusively sissy caps and also focus on the "Sissy Island" universe developed there. Maddi Starz of the recently created "Starz Interracial Captions" will focus on interracial captions and possibly start to include explicit captions in general. Finally, Ariel Starz is the newest sister who will be in control of the new "Starz Caption Contest" site, where all future contests will be held.

Of course, I will continue to post captions here on this original blog too as Elena. The sister blogs will reduce clutter and hopefully allow people to explore specific interests which much more appropriate tags. It may mean that I won't always post once a day here - but I guarantee that at least one of the Starz sisters will have a post each day. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or want to tell me that you already knew about Serena and Hallie (honestly I am curious if anyone figured it out) please post a comment in one of the sites. Otherwise, take the links to the sites and enjoy any caps you haven't already read - there's a lot of them!

Weight Training

I forgot to mention yesterday but the Advertisement Caption Contest is still up even with all this hullabaloo regarding Blogger. Got some really cool caps already, both in terms of clever advertising styles and unique things being advertised, but I think this is an awesome theme to explore so feel free to send more my way!

Today's cap comes from an idea that was...um...hanging in front of me when I saw this image. Let me know if you think it "works" out!
