Looking around I said to myself the other day:
Dear Laundry:
You know I love your freshness when you are done, and the clean variety you offer. Without a question the site of you piled in a corner awaiting my attentions plagues my mind every time I search for something to wear. ...

Being a sex-positive dyke, I've moved in a lot of spaces, queer and str8 where Eros abounds. But as a woman, the opportunity to to do what the boys do isn't really available. So I made something happen in my city. And in two other cities in Canada, other women ...

Another week. Same as others and yet one that comes with both bitter and sweet. Lots of time spent with friends and Tribe.
You know.... Now that Mayhem is over I can't seem to shake the urge to do, do, do... Really nice to go to an event that I had ...

So. The Mayhem is over and I am back to my real life. Somewhere in there, Twitter got it's act together so I'm starting to reach out that way too.
*sigh* how I missed the simplicity of 140 characters...
Next up: Diva's Den (a fundraiser for the Dyke March) and the annual ...

The week began with closing out the South Plains Master Slave conference. Glad I went. I got stories but most of them are around the culture of the place.
Have to say that I expected a higher level of... well... manners. Protocol. Something.There were incidents that distressed me. And I'd like ...

Loving Mayhemeven as I spin into madness with all the meetings and organizing. Did you know Mayhem has a FetLife group?
This is a thing of beauty that has come out of all of this. Elaine Miller does hot graphics work. The ass my latex gloved hand is on? A thing ...

What a week. All about prepping and going to to South Plains LeatherFest and International Master/slave weekend.
And lots of working on Mayhem. And planning MORE things like the next D/s Dinner/salon and my fourth annual Sexy Sauna B-Day Bathouse party. I seem to just keep adding things to the schedule.
The ...

Went to Taboo with a friend (OK, I DM'd first) and handed out cards to cute girl teams, dykes, transfolk, and lesbians. No butches yet though.
No "leatherdykes". But, ya know, not all of us flag all the time.
But there's time.
I'm at the Taboo show all weekend scoping the crowd, causing ...

Barely into the New Year and I've got many a plan up my sleeve already. Which surprises even me given the events of the fall.
In September I had major surgery (I was sick when I was at the conference) and have just returned to work now. But I'm still being ...

A plan is officially afoot to do the next D/s Dinner/salon. You can expect the gathering to occur the week of December 8 in the evening - most likely a private residence.
A library of D/s and M/s books will be on hand for casual perusal, along with a high level ...

Tough night for me. And that's the truth not the hype. I went in feeling physically unwell and found myself being psychically attacked. Ah well... skunks have no idea about the impact on the world around them either. Which doesn't excuse but it is the fact.

I was engaged in the second of a quarterly series of conversations: The D/s Dinner/salon. At the point that things slid sideways in the conversation for me, I was trying to respond to something that a top was commenting on around why people come to the scene (and D/s) but ...

How amazing.
I think I can safely say that folks were challenged and learned and came away with food for thought.
Many thanks to all that showed up and to those who had good intent but were unable to attend. A lot of the women who attended the first one were present ...

One of the attendees took some notes and agreed to have them published. Wasn't that kind?
There's some good food for thought in them. Questions that deserve to be answered. Tasty.
Many thanks for the generosity.

Here are my notes from the first session. More questions than answers... I regret that I wasn't so clever as to have included attributions. Which sucks because in both cases the knowledge in the room was humbling:
