While I was researching one of my recent posts, I discovered that a fair few places that I had used over the years to purchase items are no longer viable. The websites are gone, the people that ran them seem to be no longer in the scene, or just gave up on the whole business…
Lament
lament [ləˈment] – noun 1. an expression of regret or disappointment Of all of the kink-related toys that I’ve either purchased or acquired over the years, I would have to say far and away my collection of floggers are my most prized. That being said, I somewhat regret choosing the Heartwood elk flogger instead of the…
A little help goes a long way
The other day I was browsing through Fetlife when I came across a post on a selling group from someone semi-local to me. She was trying to sell a set of kinky furniture she had purchased as a present for her (then) submissive who, when seeing the equipment apparently had a change of heart and…
Local Kinkster?
Last week I was at work and I happened to spot someone wearing what appeared to be either a Ring of Steel or Eternity Collar. As it seemed to be slightly tarnished, it could have been either, but the way the person was wearing it suggested (to me at least) that she was very comfortable…
Collar Conundrum
I thought I was done with this issue a couple of years ago when my pet accidentally lost her first collar, and we replaced it with one that seemed a bit more practical, wasn’t necessarily going to get misplaced inadvertently, and wasn’t going to have issues with allergies to its material. It worked for a…
Our ‘Chair’
A kinky friend of mine posted today about a session she and her Master had with a particular piece of furniture they own. It easily reminded me of many conversations my Pet and I have had over the years about the inclusion of a similar piece of furniture that could be incorporated into our play. …
We planted a money tree!
Ok, don’t get your knickers in a twist. They don’t exist literally. Lemme ‘splain. After our most recent visit/trip, we determined that in order for future visits to occur and not incur heavy use of my credit cards (lodging, food, emergencies) it would be best to start socking away money somewhere to pay for them. We’d…
Old Dogs and New Tricks
The other day, I was combing through my email and a Fetlife post caught my eye. It was from someone that wasn’t on my radar, and they were posting about a steel collar that they had recently crafted in their home workshop and were posting not only pictures but a veritable how-to of how they…
Rising from the Ashes
One might refer to this as a 2.0 version of this blog. I had a backup before I had to abandon my previous hosting service (they wanted to charge me 450% more for 2023 than they had each of the previous 16 years I was with them), but as of this writing, I’ve been unable…
Little Monster
It’s been a while. But not as long as I thought it would be after losing my previous cat (Rochester) to a cancerous tumor. There’s a new kitten in the house. And there have been adventures already. She’s a little thing, but as the saying goes, ‘Though she be but little she is fierce‘.
