That is a beautiful collar she's wearing Homie. Not that I am into collars (Angeline don't wear no collar for nobody lol), but it really is lovely. Did you make it? :)

Yes, I did. I tend to do as much of that sort of thing myself as possible (here is the collar alone. You'll note some reliefs woven into it allow for more flexibility). The rope I pictured above was hand-conditioned and finished by me. I've made wrist and ankle cuffs, rope collars, leather collars, ball gags, bit gags, floggers or rope and some of hide, various impact implements, spreader bars, etc. Made various things for friends and play partners as well. Given them out as gifts, sold a few.

I plan on doing another collar here shortly, though a more decorative, less-functional one. It was inspired by a conversation with a particular lady, and I'll be making it largely to see if I can pull the weave off. It is certainly more complex and less functional than the usual. If you are interested (and I am successful), I'll post a pic.

The design would make a completely gorgeous choker. You'd wear a pretty choker, wouldn't you?

It's beautiful. You do have a gift.

Well, I'd wear a choker sure, but never if someone said you have to do this because I say so. I'm more dommy than submissive. Sweet but I've never been the submissive type. But fortunately I'm with someone who totally loves that. :D

:kiss:

Thank you.

Just curious on the choker thing. I'd hate to think I was making something there could only be an academic appreciation of.

And, goodness, I would never order anyone to wear a collar, even viv. It is worn because she wants to wear it, and asks permission. She actually brings me her leather collar before bed each night (the one pictured isn't comfortable enough to sleep in).
 
Time for a random musical interlude

Listening to this currently. I adore that song, and really think that it was one of their most powerful pieces, musically-speaking.

Here's another gem.

The more political deep tracks from Steppenwolf always make me want to go agitate. John Kay sings it so well.

"Now we are fighting a war over
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost!"


Some days I sound like such a hippy =P

NOTE: I've not parsed either video for the political content of the images. They're linked because I like the music.

Well yes I understand, but I think you're the real thing: a whole person who is also a dominant (which is probably why I've grown so fond of you). What I see here, and a lot of places I suspect, are a lot of pretenders, people who act out their aggressions--baggage and insecurities--in the name of kink. A few people at Lit--who shall remain nameless--actually irritate the hell out of me because that mask is so transparent, if you know what I mean. You strike me as someone who is a) real and b) really loves women. :) But I also understand that submission is a preference, too, that in the right circumstances has nothing to do with working out your psychological pain. I have an old friend who is the most independent person I know aside from sexually--and there she is totally submissive, just really into it. Maybe it has something to do with the way we're hard-wired, I don't know. It doesn't appeal to me as anything more than an infrequent game--and the game where I get to call the shots is a lot more fun to me. I'd do anything sexually with the man I love because it's great to try it all and see what clicks and show your love. But preferences are what they are.

:kiss:

Thank you. I am real, and I do love women. :eek: A lot of other people call me dominant. Kind of confuses me here and there because I am way too laid back compared to most folks that use that term. Then again, those are the pretenders and compensaters I guess.

It is a preference. Interestingly, it does not always work out how you'd think. I can think of one lady in particular that is all sorts of toppy, but I find potently attractive regardless. I don't think it would be clear which one of us would wind up on top, but it would be a damned fun go to figure it out.

Bottom line is that I do love women, and have no troubles being attracted to toppy chicks; even toppy Jersey Girls with gorgeous eyes (whom I will probably always imagine in flip-flops and cut-offs, driving a really hot car).

:rose:
 
(YAWN) 'Way past my bedtime... I think UYS has fallen asleep too... Somebody want to help me get her home?

'Nite all.
 
My all that olive oil makes your skin soft and smooth in the morning!
That conversation about subs and doms is very interesting I guess I am one of those mixed up souls. I find the submissive thing very attractive (in the bedroom) but on my terms if that makes sense and very occassionally am willing to switch. I reckon some of the so called doms use the title to just be mean to women and that's not what it should be at all. I once had an interesting conversation with a guy who said that in reality its the sub that is in control i.e how far she is willing to go even though he attempts to push the boundaries each time.

I've heard a few people say that too, Annie--that a good sub is really the one who controls the parameters. I admit I am a bad sub because I don't listen well. This is also true of my sweetheart. He'll say he wants to play the game and then do exactly what he wants anyway lol, which usually leads to us laughing at each other, but in a really good way. Gods I just love being in love with someone who likes to talk and laugh in bed as much as I do. Well and other stuff. :devil:
 
Some musing this morning brought me this:

Perspective

When we were whole fortune never smiled.
Remember? If this would happen
or that, then I will be happier
in that today. Yesterday was selfish.

All of those if-onlys count
against the wishes we make
and now don't matter. Empty
dreams of wealth-bought joy

batter their wings on the window.
There's no room for them here.
Today, we are happy for the moment
and if only tomorrow we live. Wishes

are granted by a smile and a breath
taken when we wake, shared like breakfast
bacon over morning paper news or kisses
that answer prayers for a better tomorrow.

Lovely! My divorce is final (really, really final) tomorrow on the 6th (I thought it was Friday, but it's tomorrow), and your poem kinds of fits for that, makes me think about how far I've come in the past few years.

But I'm not a'cryin!

Check this out (Tzara! Looka here!):

Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin.

Think it's a pop song? Think again. Not when Dr. John and Mavis Staples duet it. Then it's an achingly gorgeous blues. ;)

Who cares about your divorce! I just got permed! Permed at the Glamour Hut!!! My god, I can't let Hugo see me for the next three months. I can't even talk about it right now...

Oh my god! Little orphan Evie! :devil:

Pictures! Pictures!
 
I hear the kinkiness can be washed out of it ... or is that spanked? or ...

If you ask him, Hugo will certainly help. It can't hurt and it might be fun. Beware, you may wind up with more kinkiness than you bargain for though. Caution is needed.

I'm guessing Hugo loves her for a lot more than her hair. ;)
 
or it's kinkiness.

(Please note: We are discussing WE's hair here people. Nothing else, no, nothing else.)

Actually I was thinking that the Bistro was taking on a tinge of the beauty salon on a busy afternoon: a hen party. :D

Sorry boys. We'll just take those tools of the trade; the curl enhancer, the lip gloss, and be back soon all glammy like.

We are holding our collective breath in eager anticipation.
