I am a polyamorous soul with appreciation for geeky things. I try to move out of the closet and live my life 2.0 out in the open. I like to be alone, spend time with people I love, conceive and write applications, knit, upcycle clothing, collect old things and make new things (more)
Little did I know that when attending an evening of travel presentation at the local Yacht Club with Mr. P., I would meet Tas, a talented baker of perverted cakes. Tas, whose background is computer science and math, is even looking for ways to incorporate advanced features (animated parts) into his creations. Read the rest of this entry »
The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch inspired Anna’s collection shown
in the last episode of The Fashion Show.
As a child I spent hours looking a this painting. We had a reproduction of this in three panels at home. Originally it seemed strange and pornographic. Today I find it quite entertaining and modern.
Can you spot the tit in the picture above?
How about the anal bead?
Click on the image and find the gerbil in a tube!
This painting delivers!
Anna’s collection was delightful.
It was not too matchy, in fact each piece could be declined into three garments and all of it is very sell-able. I loved her knit pieces which were very light and flowy espescially the one that incorporated a breastplate of long beads.
I loved the two dresses that were shown first.
But my favorite dress was the elephant print day dress…
It is sooo sexy secretary…
I want it!!!
While I think that all designers brought something great to the show,
Anna is the most obvious choice as her style and collection
is the most viable commercially.
The FetLife Badge (buttons) I created for John for the FetLife Mixer are now official promotion images for your blog or website. Show your love for “The Facebook for Kinky People” with these cute buttons!
Soon there will be more things available from that page, but I can’t tell you yet
I have listed my rope bondage kits on Etsy. These were sold during my Cock Bondage classes in March and I still have some. I plan on offering a few other naughty creations eventually. I have not submitted my candidacy as presenter for any upcoming shows in the US though I will likely be at Floating World 09 as M0j0D4ddy is presenting three classes. I’ll bring plenty of rope!
Hearing the comments of vanilla people as they exited The Dungeon at the Everything to do with Sex Show kind of made it worth my while. I was minding the FetLife booth for a few shifts on Saturday and the crowd was way more vanilla than I had expected.
I have become so un-phased by anything sexual, seemingly perverted or perhaps deviant that I forget what BDSM or Alt sexuality looks like to the uninitiated. It’s like vanilla people are not detached from other people’s behavior or sexuality and feel personally offended or involved somehow and must defend themselves by passing a comment or judgment. The biggest misconception about BDSM I encountered is that it is coercive or non consensual in nature. For some reason, people were afraid that they would be pulled into getting tied up or spanked as soon as they entered the Dungeon. I just told them to gawk away and ask questions if they wanted. In the D/s lifestyle, unless you are REALLY assertive or even agressive as a bottom, you will never get to play. If you are socially awkward as a Top you are likely to suffer the same fate LOL
I for one, like the asking for play, the negotiation process and the waiting (or looking forward to) and that is why I spend 95% time socializing and 5% time playing over an average year and for now that is fine with me. I was way overdressed (prude!) for the occasion but still mingled with a few hot Doms. I don’t expect anyone I meet out of the blue to ‘get’ what I am about or understand where I sit on the scale because I Mentor certain people and serve others. Really it’s a case-by-case thing.
The Mortician chatted with me and I asked him to string me up in the suspension bondage frame (I call him that because he was wearing a cute mortician shirt when I first met him 2 years ago.) The red ropes looked very good against my black outfit and I was suspended on my back. It was my second suspension, the first one I did in a Midori intensive Rope Dojo a few years ago and it pinched like Hell. This time it was very pleasant but for the sore neck and the migraine from Hell. I think it took me about 3-4 minutes to settle into it. I commented to my rigger that the position I was in would be perfect for a certain sexual act. Oh the things I will say when inconvenienced by dozens of onlookers…
I did have a great time with Erus (whom I had on loan from LadyC for some of the afternoon) and ran into a few key people. I took in a workshop on anal sex presented by a woman from Toronto who had the most awesome way of speaking French.
I spent all of Sunday in excruciating pain, which I already knew would happen. This week I will see about my pain level because it has gotten out of hand again with the fall a few months ago.
I had planned on being back in the gym by now, I’m really bummed out about my health again.
Fell asleep quite late last night. I am obviously high on oxytocin and endorphins and it’s keeping me awake. But at least it’s productive and inspired awake. I have figured out many novel ways to execute a bunch of plans. And Lord knows I load myself with overly eccentric goals and plans. But I decided that in 2009 I am going to do a lot of cool stuff, from simple pleasures to seemingly impossible plots.
Sometimes I just need to have the guts to ask for what I want.
I had an eventful three days resulting in a LOT of things to process. All good things really. I had a plan to have lunch with Lloyd Jr., drinks with TheBaku and dinner with Bearded DiCaprio on Friday. That was overly ambitious and too last minute to pull off (okay maybe the fact that it was -75 didn’t help either.) I was however quite tickled that my sweetie made me dinner. He ALWAYS takes me out to dinner unless I make him something. Unfortunately the freezing and thawing of my toes during travel to Verdun gave me the worst migraine… so we skipped out on playing Rock Band.
While I was on my way to Bearded DiCaprio’s (I waited for the train 1 hour!) I suddenly started wondering what it would be like to live with Mr. P. It’s all pragmatic really, I am getting tired of paying a fortune for this huge house. House = Yeah. Rent = Bleh. So Saturday afternoon, of course, Mr. P goes all U-Haul on me. WTF?! But really it’s for the same pragmatic reasons as me. It’s more complicated than that. But we didn’t talk about it when we went out Saturday. He and I are very bad at communicating that we are friends. Everyone thinks we are a romantic couple. We are friends with benefits but we are not fuck friends. Are you confused also!? Then your confusion amuses us greatly. Mr. P and I get along swimmingly and he has passed my six month consideration process (the amount of time it takes me to develop trust and become attached to someone.) But then Mr P. listens to me talking to someone else and says: “I didn’t know you were looking for a husband?!” Duh! So we obviously have more discussions to have.
On Saturday I also ran into TheBaku. I was haaappeee to see him! I got interrogated AND lectured by him! Oh yes he did! After inquiring about who I was with at the party, he proceeded to share his opinion on my propensity to spend quality time with my exes. On top of that, this conversation happened after Mr. P purposefully malfunctioned my attire to embarrass me. I have to give it to him, TheBaku has character AND a sense of humor! I’ve been a fan what he does for a while and I am becoming a fan of who he is. But sincerely, there are already way too many people in my life with ADD!!! Maybe next time I see him I will be interrogated, lectured AND scolded LOL Progress is good in a relationship and he does it in a very sweet way! It would be very hard for me to pretend to be all demure and nice as he contacted me on a naughty website for perverts… a website that HE built! Hahahaha! It’s his fault I’ve rekindled my relationship with with Mr. P and met CJO and a become friends with a lot of other people who influence me to be naughtier! It ALSO emboldens me to totally objectify and fetishize him in the way I write and talk to him. Here’s what I see when I see TheBaku. Drooool. But he’s not blonde so kudos to him LOL I only fantasize about cooking dinner for him and taking latin dancing classes with him. That’s my story and I am sticking to it!
I think this is going to be a five part post… no really!
When I saw Crash (Cronenberg) in 1997, I was repulsed. None of the characters made any sense to me and they had absolutely nothing endearing about them. I also don’t have a car fetish. I watch Top Gear for James May and the overall wit but I have always been afraid of cars, namely dying in a car crash. I have driven by myself only a few times. I’d love to learn how to drive for sports (rally) but driving for practical reasons leaves me cold. I am crap at it too.
I spent some time this weekend talking with Mr. P. about having un-natural experiences involving vehicles. He showed me the brace he wore for three months after being chewed up by a plane. Owies… I, on the other hand, was forcibly raped in the behind by a Mazda Protege (while pinned against my Chrysler Neon.) My freaky vehicular three way doesn’t beat flying into power lines… Mr. P is the only other person I’ve met who also has nerve damage and, having been bolted back together extensively, understands what that does. Oh and did I mention he’s a sadist!
I am officially a kinskter now and I am supposed to understand these things… I ALWAYS side with Ebert on everything but I didn’t in the case of Crash. But things make a bit more sense now. Crash was more interesting the second time around, in fact, I can say I had forgotten about most of the first part because the second part annoyed me so much! The characters are still somewhat cold and not that endearing. Yeah, super hottie James Spader manages to come off un-sexy most of the movie!
At least now, I can appreciate people who’s fetishes make little sense to me, just like, I am sure, some of my inclinations make no sense to others.
Everything meets somewhere…
For instance, the day before, I had written part of a story that has one character initiating sex while the other one is crying. Most readers would exclaim “No, that is the worst time to be initiating sex!” This was how I felt the first time I watched the very last scene of Crash!
To check another movie off my ‘to watch list’, I started watching Caligula a month ago. I gave up… Should I even bother to watch the whole thing? John Hurt plays Caligula in I, Claudius… I think that will be much better to watch (when I get to it.)
A while back I wrote on this blog that CJO is a bit like Mark Anthony. At the time it was because he had suggested we get together to shoot some slaves. This reminded me of one of the most obnoxious scenes in Rome (He has never watched Rome.) I figured he was saying this for the benefit of a certain slave who was within earshot. Personally I would rather not shoot at anyone. I’m not a sissy, I just think that the words ‘non lethal’ in the name of certain ammo is marketing bullshit. But give me a paint gun and I may change my mind; I’ll just make sure the sniper is on MY team!!!
When I started watching Rome in October, I thought that having a household like Atia and Servillia would be cool. Obviously, I have no use for decorative slaves but I could definitely use a chauffeur and a butler. Just once in a while. Everybody in this neighborhood seems to know that I am the thrifty single mom. I don’t even have a car when most others have 2.5 trucks and 1.25 cars. I noticed that having handsome guys appear out of nowhere to rake my yard and shovel my snow attracts some attention and questions. So if my daughter ever started a phrase with “Our butler…” it might trigger more questions than I care to answer…
Just like Mark Anthony, my sweetie is a very good warrior. As long as it supports his long term goals in some way, he will likely do anything I ask. I have missions lined up into 2010 for him and some are NOT easy! I’m courting a veteran Dom by being a total Domina and he LIKES it. Raising (elevating) Dominants is my shtick! I make sure regularly that it’s okay for me to hit him with the ‘to do’ stick harder and harder as the deadlines get closer. When both parties are sincere and fully into it, Dominance and submission are the exact same thing. I may joke about it but I see my management of his current engagements and his overall career change as ’service’ to him.
Because he KNOWS that my thing is to help him get what he wants he has been more open about a lot of things. I am considering him as a life partner so I want to know what he wants however lofty, capricious or eccentric it may be. It’s a test in itself because at his age he is supposed to know what he wants. One of the recurring themes that has come up is that he wants a household (with slaves.)
I’ve suspected this for a long time and I have nothing against the concept. I don’t think it looks the same in my head as it does in his though! I LOVE this kind of relationship talk! Using his logic of having slaves giving him more time to do the cool stuff he’d rather do (like gardening and sex.) I will gladly lay down a plan that includes him as my landscaping and sex slave!
