In Tatters

I knelt at His feet in the utter mess I’d made. My struggle to succeed was stark. No one had ever seen me so disheveled…in such embarrassing circumstances. As He cleaned me up for the second time two minutes, I looked up to meet His steady gaze and tried to gauge his reaction. Disgust at another disastrous, completely unimpressive act of service? Frustrated at my inability to get it together? Sadistically amused at another ridiculous unglamorous predicament I’d once again found myself in? I knew he was taking in every fucking minute detail of the wreck before Him and squirreling it away in the vault of His mind, but what did He feel? His stoic expression offered me no hint. Without comment He stood firm in front of me. Fuckin unwavering. He hadn’t walked away. He hadn’t stepped back. I swear He may have even leaned in. As soon as I’d semi-collected myself, I began my third attempt even as I tried in vain to push the remaining proof of my ineptitude out of view, hoping it would simply

TES Fest 2022 | Vendors & My Groaning Wallet

Series | TES Fest 2022
Essay #3 | Vendors & My Groaning Wallet

FINALLY...a week later, I finish UNPACKING from TES Fest!  Unlike packing, this process allowed me to unwrap, touch, and/or play with all the goodies I brought home with me, so there were little bursts of joy to carry me through the week as I emptied one bag and then another.  ")

I'd purchased a number of custom pieces over the last 2 1/2 years from folks like Whispers of Fire Fet | Website, Whips by Axel Fet | Website, Toolworks Chicago Fet | Website, and UniqueKink Fet | Website, so my S&M Toolbox was VERY well set.  Yes...Kinky Retail Therapy during the pandemic was a thing for me...don't judge. lol

Knowing my toolbox was already too damn big to take with me any-fucking-where anymore, my Lifestyle spending for 2022 was going to focus more on gear.  After all, I AM doing the Con/Run thing now!  Gotta show up and represent, right???  I'd browsed the TES Fest Vendor websites, but meh...only one piece caught my eye.  I had my budget.

HA!  Mr. CL had warned me, but my ass just didn't understaaaaand...

I have no problem admitting I'd completely underestimated how PHENOMENAL the Vendors would be at TES Fest 2022, and I didn't even visit them all!  After I'd spent essentially my entire year's budget, I refused to visit one more damn room/table/spot!  My wallet was ready to bitch slap me, but I absolutely LOVE everything I'd purchased.

Steelbones | Fet | Website  | My first stop.  Holy shit, they have BEAUTIFUL corsets!  I meant to walk in there and grab one.  ONE!  Instead I walked out of there with TWO in under 15 minutes and plan to buy at least one more before the end of the summer.  Is there a frequent shopper discount?!? lol  

Pendragon Chainmail via UniqueKink | Etsy Shop | I'd already purchased my UniqueKink floggers & dragontails in 2020, so I felt pretty safe just stopping by to look around.  However, Amber (I'm HOPING I got her name right! Too many naaaaaames...) was absolutely delightful and charming every time I ran into her, and before I knew it I'd bought the last chainmail skirt they had, which was on her body, as well as a chainmail whip.  Again...that whip was NOT in my plans, but the second I threw it and heard that CRACK rip through the room, sadistic bliss ran down my spine, and I was opening my wallet.  LOL

Cutting Edge | Fet | I browsed out of curiosity.  Aside from my throwing knives, I'd long ago quit looking for steel.  Any shop I've hit was always filled with over the top testosterone-laden crutches.  ~ eye roll ~ Cutting Edge's selection was insane, and low and behold...I found a little something for me!  ")

I also caught the stuffie heaven spot (sorry...I don't know the vendor) and was fascinated to watch them stuff the stuffies.  It ALMOST made me want to buy one.  If I had a little in my world I sooooo would have been sucked in to spoil them.  

~HAT TIP~ to TES Fest 2022 for the broad and professional Vendors.  Next year, I'll readjust my budget accordingly!  And maybe bring an extra bag just to take everything home.  LOL

After two long years, I am FINALLY launching my M/s class—The 9 Service Languages of Authority Transfer Relationships & Dynamics!  Special thanks to the late BlackMusic for sitting through my very early stage versions in the Summer of 2020 to pressure test and debate the concept I was pulling together.  His support and encouragement helped me believe in the idea that refused to fade from my mind.   Note | There will eventually be additional class structures (duration/intensity levels) of this material.  Still working out those options!

At The Mercy of His Hands

It’s been two fucking days, yet my cunt still weeps for Him as if His dripping fingers had only just stopped sinking into my hot, juicy, greedy, clenching hole.  Hasn't mattered where I have been or what I have been doing.  Work, writing, waiting too long for a damn bus that never arrived, nibbling at food, catching up with my Board, commuting through the city via my feet, trains, and cabs, I have just been...soaked for the last 48+ hours.   I was wet before my Uber had even crossed Whitestone from the Bronx in my cross-borough pilgrimage.  As the twinkle of Manhattan's skyline beckoned in the distance, my disorganized mind and unexpectedly chaotic nerves froze in recognition of that solitary truth my slick thighs spoke of.  My body was already reaching for Him—had already completely surrendered—despite the illogic, the lack of plans, the absence of sexy anticipatory promises.  My body knew something my mind didn't, a trend that has continued to intensify and shows no sign
