Check me out off to the side in my horrifyingly purple Volunteer t-shirt! I have luckily replaced it with a blue one for the next events (I am just not jamming on the purple).
So far so good with the new foster. She’s sweet and relatively tractable – for a cattle dog. Mouthy, though. She barks and howls when the ball isn’t thrown fast enough to suit her. We’re working on SIT! everytime we throw the ball – and eventually to come inside the house. Right now, we’re just trying to get her adjusted to being with people and outside. She was kenneled inside of a vet’s office for about four months.
She’s not good with cats (we’re going to work on it) and she doesn’t really have any leash manners (again, we’re going to work on it). She doesn’t jump (too much) but she does get on the furniture (another thing to work on). She isn’t a snatcher or grabber, so that’s nice. She also doesn’t nip or chew (which is really nice).
Mostly, she likes to catch squeaky bouncy toys and have belly rubs.
I’ll be putting up some more pictures soon.
Meet Roxy.
We will meet her to evaluate her this weekend. Cross your fingers that she is (in my opinion at least) adoptable.
We will also see Wyatt (now Tucker) with his forever family. I’m excited about that.
Sadly, I have no pictures of my own of the fetish ball but there is a website with pictures of the older events and eventually the pictures from this most recent event will be up. Click to see naughty pictures.
This was my first fetish ball and it wasn’t fetish-y enough for my tastes. The vendors had some good products (good cheap prices too) and there was a side stage with occasional naughtiness (spankings and tyings up). But except for one act, the main stage was all bad electronic noise. Admittedly, the one act that was on the main stage was damn impressive. It was Allen Falkner who is supposed to be famous (I’d never heard of him) but he did body suspension that was horrifying and yet fascinating. He started off dangling himself from 6 abdominal hooks (all connected to a cage with one string – this is important for the later bits) and writhing around to Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” as rivulets of blood ran down his red leather pants. His helper woman spun him around a bit but it was merely entertaining. And then he changed the song to a loud one that I don’t know and as the song changed, Falkner cut the one string and snapped down to the end of the hooks embedded in his shoulders (two of them). He probably dropped 3 or 4 feet straight down and then JERKED. OUCH, OUCH, OUCH. He then was seriously bounding around in mid-air for a whole song until he cut the line on one of his back hooks. Then, dangling from one hook, he reached down and picked up his helper woman (no little twig either) and BOUNCED UP AND DOWN. It was pretty cool.
There were also many a neat costume – Xander from Drawn Together, the Tina Turner costume from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, Elephant man (teeny tiny elephant t-shirt and an elephant g-string – the trunk being his penis of course), lots of school girls (male and female), ever so many corsets (even one woman who clearly was in “training” and had probably a 16″ waist – it was horrifying and yet stare worthy) and so many more. Hugh Hefners, slave boys, the old people who were clearly exhibitionist (he started spanking her with a new crop in the middle of the vendor area – pants down around her knees and everything)…. I’m sure the pictures will be fascinating once they go up online. I will be looking especially for the large numbers of gentleman dressed in street clothes who were very drunk that had just wandered by and followed the T&A into the fetish ball. They spent most of the night gaping and then drinking and then gaping some more.
Favorite moment of the evening…
We’re standing in line waiting to purchase tickets and get in (probably 30+ people out there all in costume). I got spanked by an angel wearing ruffle bottomed panties, sparkly white pasties and knee-high shiny white go-go boots when suddenly a very drunken Abercrombie/frat type gentleman walks by. His mouth drops open, his feet start stumbling (more than they already were) and he asks repeatedly in a very loud voice: “What is this? What is this? Some sort of Halloween party?”
I wonder if anyone ever answered him?
There was a comedy show going on at the same Venue and they were lining up about 5 feet away from the fetish ball line. All very conservative looking people compared to the folks in the fetish line of course. The one girl waiting for the comedy club asked if they could put the line for the comedy club in the back alley so they wouldn’t have to be in the front with these “other people”. She sounded HORRIFIED.
Only one?
That’s not fair but, if I must.
I want to be a dragon.
They can fly (but aren’t stupid like the majority of birds), they are predators (and big enough that most things aren’t going to eat them), they can breathe fire (so as to not have to eat raw food, you know) and they are mightly impressive.
What? A dragon isn’t real? Bah.
Ask me a question about what I would be if I could become any animal and then tell me I can’t be an imaginary creature. How about some consistency, people!
That don’t make no sense.
