Spring Pan. Wow. What just happened in my life? Huh.
On Friday night we showed up and did the tasting. I did flogging,
but I had the easy part. My slave worked her ass off as she signed people up for
15 or 10 minute sessions, then tracked them down when they would wander off, talked
and put people at ease, cleaned the cross in between sessions, provided water
and a place for people to sit afterwards, and encouraged people to try other things
like single tail as they waited for the flogging. I was so impressed by her- it only made me
love her more.
The whole thing was a
phenomenal experience. I ended up flogging people for about three and half
hours. I was sopping wet when I was done-
but I was so INTO IT didn’t really start to hit me until
I laid down that night.
The next day we were venders. There were four of us at our “Crossroads
table” and we all had goals for the day, obtainable goals that would mark
success for each of us personally and the table as a whole. So imagine our surprise
when I sold out of books by noon, Lori sold out of candles, and Jaime couldn’t
take a break between readings. The
biggest surprise for us was that my slaves stuff sold also completely out. I mean
completely, we had nothing but empty boxes and tumbleweeds at the end of the
day. It was so overwhelming that when it was time for my flogging class I was
already high in the clouds!
When I walked into the class I knew it was going to be a challenge,
they always are, but every class is different. My goal for that class was to
get people looking at flogging differently, to get them thinking about the skill
and not the tool, to get them making the connection between the crotch and the
flogger. I was SO DEEPLY grateful to WhipDaddy, Master C, and my SMOKIN HOT demo
bottom Cupcake for stepping up and helping people while I was rounding the room
and doing one on ones.
After the class I was glowing, sweating and on cloud nine. People
were really getting into positioning and understanding floggers. They were
catching on to how not let the tool define the skill. It was just what I
wanted. Since then I have gotten personal positive feedback- and I hope to
receive my comments within the next 2 weeks or so. I wish that I would have had
a little more room for people to explore- but I can’t complain- this was perfect.
When I left the class we packed up, had dinner, and a little
rest before the Pageant of the Perverse. During one of the performances I got to
dance with my slave in the back, I loved holding her.
Then they called Jaime and Lori up to the stage, and I
looked at my slave like “What is going on?” she just smiled.
They started talking about Mamas family, what the organization
does, and what it means to them and to the international leather community worldwide.
Then they pinned our Brother WhipDaddy.
Next they called me up. I was stunned. I was so stunned that when I stood
up and walked into the isle my pants feel down and I tripped almost falling
over. So there I was walking up to the stage pulling up my pants, and trying
not to look crazy.
I got down on one knee to receive my pin. I couldn’t think
of any other way to receive such an honor. Jaime pinned me. After that they
called up my salve. They let me pin her. I was shaking and crying and so proud.
Then they had JD call up our brother Mauro. I was shocked and amazed to be able
to be on the stage with Jaime, Lori, WhipDaddy, and Mauro. It is one of the
highest honors that I have ever received.
Afterwards was the play party. It was hot hot hot! I had the
best time! I got to watch all sorts of hot amazing play and was amazed and blown
away by what this community has organized.
Thank you to ClareDeLune and to YourDarkness and to everyone
who had a hand in this.
All of you made this weekend epic for me. Life changing.
As we were leaving for the night on Saturday- I had someone
pull me to the side. They asked if I could talk, I said sure I have a couple of
minutes. And what they said is forever burned onto my heart.
They had read some of my book, and they wanted to thank
me. What they had read had helped them.
With other books it was more of a monologue, but with this one they really felt
like they could do something.
I was BLOWN away.
We had to leave because my slave was crashing, but I promised
to find them on FET the next day so that we could talk. I did.
Amazing.
Just Amazing.
