I have never managed any journey from point A to point B without a lot of side trips, meanderings and stops to smell the roses...I doubt this is going to be any different. Get in, hang on and enjoy the bumps!

This time of year always gets me thinking about my love life...or lack thereof. I really haven't had time to explore this in a while, part of my new year's resolution is to make time for this...to make room in my life for that partner. Can't have one if there is no room or no time for one, now can I?
But I digress...
When we talk about Femdom or FLR's or D/s...we seem to get bogged down in the technique's and how to's, it seems like there is little written on WHY we do this. Or more precisely...WHY we wimmen folk do it. Am I the only female on the planet that wants to be adored? I want to be the center of someones universe, the apple of their eye, the cream in their coffee, their...well, you get the idea.
So, I know umpteen ways to tie someone up, and own many different flogging/spanking tools and so on and so forth...what I want to know is this...where is the romance? Where is the fella who serves me my morning coffee on his knees? The guy who has dinner on the table (candle light and all) when I get home? I'm not talking white knight stuff here...just the usual courtly manners...opening doors, carrying packages, etc...Are these old fashioned values? I like that word, VALUE. It is worth something, to me, at least. And he should do these things because he knows it makes me happy, he Values my happiness.
All of this started when I watched this video on YouTube...I was there innocently collecting christmas songs to post. It has been a favorite since it came out, because it embodies all those things I Value, and it starts this train of thought, pretty much every time...
I have had a hard time finding pictures of nekked men with a Christmas theme...but this one ain't too shabby...
Here I was having visions of shibari with ribbons and bows, you would think that bondage would lend itself to this sort of thing. Maybe I am not using the right search words? Maybe I have to take the damn pictures myself...I have more books coming in on the subject of dark rooms...if I am going to do it, I will prolly do it all. Now all I need to get is a camera, the right one will drop into my lap, I have no doubt. So if you see an ad on Collar Me looking for male models in the new year...
So onto some pics I did find...
How's this for wrapping paper?
Have yourself a Poly Little Christmas...
Looks like Santa is on the Naughty list, this year...
or somesuch... although, those are breeches I would like to get into ;)
I am headed back to the coast, I have a job to finish up. I will be back on Friday evening and then start my vacation...2 and a half weeks...sigh. I plan on finishing my christmas presents, my co-worker and partner in crime at this site has helped me create a DVD of slideshows. We took pictures of my dad and set them to Dean Martin songs (dad's favorite), now if I can get the calendar finished...most of my Christmas shopping will be done. As a Pagan, I celebrate Yule (the solstice) but a good portion of my family is Christian and so I celebrate it with them. This means I have many get togethers and party's to go attend.
As I was putting together my post for Mute Monday on submission, I was again frustrated at the lack of good pictures/photos/art that exist for the femdom community. Most of what you find is graphic male fantasy stuff...while I'm sure it works for you males, we women tend to be turned off by it. I like shots that hint at 'more', that make you use your imagination. (mine is in excellent working order, thank you) And it doesn't have to be sexual in context, it has to involve males and in a context outside of the normal or accepted society role.
I have stumbled across several photos that have grabbed me and twisted my insides delightfully. One I have posted several times and will use this as an excuse to repost...
This is not a sexual picture...but it affects me sexually. I don't get off on watching women nurse their children, but the care and role reversal implied in this shot, gets to me. I found another photo the other day that grabbed me in the same way and for the same reasons. Obviously drawn on the infamous Demi Moore pic, it is that elusive 'more'...more what? Hell if I know...
Whew! It has been a wild couple of days...just returned from a trip to the coast. I have been working out there, popping over on Sunday evenings and returning home on Friday nights. For those of you who didn't catch the weather channel...we had 120+ mile an hour winds out that way...so I have been out of power, phone and Internet range for the last couple of days. I couldn't do the work I was sent for but I am not without talent. Being an ex Army cook I volunteered in the kitchen of the Hospital and spent my time making sandwiches and washing down tables and such.
The road home opened up yesterday, although it was not without it's hazards...high water and mudslides...I did make it home to find that my teen age boy had demolished my house and had a girl in his room...all the while he was supposed to be in school...you can imagine my reaction. He lives.
Anywho, I have much to get in order around here and errands to run...I will take time later today to respond to comments, visit all the Mute Monday blogs that I missed out on and catch up on my reading (I was a bit behind going into all this)
