So I've Been Told…

On several occasions that I remind people of various celebrities and iconic characters. I've always been fairly flattered by these comments and taken them in stride. I mean, we all look like somebody, right? Anyway, I was thinking about the fact that maybe I was missing the subtext of these comments. Like maybe they don't just mean I resemble the physical appearance of the actress/character, but maybe I remind them of the "essence" of the person and that got me wondering if that were good or ...

In Search of a Strong Female

The other day I was laying on my couch vegging out to the television when an advertisement for Lost Girl came on. This is a show on Syfy, that honestly I have no idea what it's about other than the main character is a woman.

My guy says, "You're probably going to want to watch that aren't you?"

I replied, "Why do you assume that?"

To which he replied, "Witchblade, remember?"

Okay, some backstory. I loved the series Witchblade with Yancy Butler. I loved that she was a kick ass female who didn't...

Consent and Assent in BDSM Play

I'd just be recreating the wheel writing my own post on this topic when it has been eloquently addressed over at Miss Catherine Gail's blog, Submissions. This is a thought-provoking blog in general, but this particular piece really got me thinking about the simple logistics and legal ramifications of BDSM play, something I hadn't spent much time thinking about.

Anyway, it made too much sense not to put it out there for my readers …

My Thieving Ways

As I ramp up to finding yet another stellar government proposal within me, I thought I'd regale you with more of my criminal ways. I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable weekend!

36. Have you watched American Horror Story? 

No. I stopped watching horror anything (with Pitch Black being my only exception) in the 80s after watching Silent Night, Deadly Night. I was so disgusted by that movie I almost got physically ill. I can't...

The Power of a Hug: Part 2

I'm taking a break from my current WIP and thought I'd finish up my post about the power of a hug. I was searching for images that represented hugs because I've found so many of the bloggers that I follow are in some serious pain and one in particular happened to mention he really needed a hug. Well, I don't know him in real life, but why not a virtual hug. I'd already posted about Giving Away Hugs and realized I had really enjoyed that post. I was surprised by the comments where people...

The Power of a Hug

Submissive Blogs and Justifications

I've started this post off and on for a while now, but kept deleting it. Then, I realized I wasn't following my own advice. I didn't want to piss anyone off with this post because I really enjoy my readers and would like to keep interacting with you guys. All of that being said, however, there is something I see online that I really don't understand … submissives justifying being submissive.

One of the reasons I started this blog, was because I had been introduced to the BDSM lifestyle...

I'm Giving Away Hugs…

My Dear and Lovely Readers … I've had the benefit of becoming aware of many of you and your struggles and challenges in life. I've spent my morning in tears, giggles, triumph and outrage over many of your stories. So, since we are virtual friends, I'm giving away virtual hugs. Consider each and every single one of you hugged!
