Balloons Aplenty...

Every Memorial Day Weekend in my home town there is a huge hot air balloon festival.  If you have never been to one, it is worth the trip just once.  Unlike many big events such as this, you can get out and walk right around them all as they are being put up and inflated.  You can get right in the middle of the action.  This year I think there is somewhere near 100 balloons participating. 

My young daughter even jumped right in the middle of it all, helping one crew inflate their balloon.  She was in awe, and the fact that they are so big up close, along with so many in a tight space, makes for quite an experience.  They usually have to have almost perfect weather to fly.  No bad weather, not to much wind, etc...  Yesterday morning was an rare exception...not enough wind.  What, you say?  That's right, not enough wind.  They were afraid they would get over the river here, other other not good areas, not go far, and run out of propane, plunging back to earth in a bad spot.  Yet, they all inflated and tethered on the launch field, so we were able to walk around and see them all up close. 

Our house isn't to far from the launch field.  This morning the balloons we going out to other locations, launching, and trying to fly into the field.  A good many of them flew right over the house as we stood int he driveway watching.  Coffee in hand of course!  It's amazing how there is no noise at all, except when they fire the propane burner.  You can even hear the people inside them talking as the slowly drift overhead. 

Some of the balloons just have designs on them.  some have advertisements and are sponsored, like a Pepsi balloon shaped like a Pepsi can.  One is sponsored by the Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt Medical Center.  And yes, there is even one shaped like some sort of cartoon bird. 

So, I would recommend it if you ever have the chance to go to a gathering or festival like this.  It's quite an experience, especially if you have never been.  And the kids..well they absolutely love it!

Not All Pain Lovers Are Masochistic

In this lifestyle we choose to be involved in, almost every relationship has some form of pain involved with it.  For some it may be very mild, or more of a discomfort.  For others it may be very intense and harsh.  There are those out there that love the feel of pain.  They get turned on by it, aroused, and need it as a part of their life and from the hands of their partner.  They are the masochists.  They can't imagine going without being able to receive some sort of painful stimuli. 

I think the true masochists are few and far between.  I believe that almost all submissives love, like, or learn to like some level of pain.  This does not make them masochistic.  For them it is not about the pain itself.  Pain is a side affect of the bigger picture.  For them it is about the act and the method in which the pain is received.  Most importantly, it is about the person inflicting the pain or discomfort. 

For most submissives, pain from their Dominant is part of the relationship.  Whether that be spanking, nipple play, orgasm denial, or any number of other possibilities.  It the feeling they get from taking what their Dom dishes out.  It's feeling the strength and power from his hands.  It's being wiling to withstand what he does to her.  It's feeling her own submission to him in giving herself completely to him for whatever he desires.  This isn't necessarily about the pain itself.  It's much more mental and emotional than just receiving pain.  It's much more about her sense of belonging to him and giving all she has to give. 

So...just because you read, see or hear about a submissive and then pain she has withstood, don't think it is just about her love of pain.  More often than not, it is more about her submission itself and her Dominant.  She wouldn't take this type of treatment from just anyone.  And the same pain under different circumstances would feel totally different.  Yet, under the right circumstances, and with the right person, there is a lot a submissive will take and do, regardless of whether it's pleasurable or not.  And most can take much more than they believe they can take. 

The irony is that in some ways the pain is pleasurable as she feels her Doms pleasure in her taking what he is giving to her.  It's his control and the trust she has in him that enables her to go much further than she ever would otherwise.  This is when she feels most like herself and most at peace inwardly, as she pleases him and gives of herself completely to whatever he chooses to do.  It is in this she can totally let go and concentrate on nothing but him and their time together.

Fantastic Ass Friday (FAF)

As many of you noticed, I missed last week and wasn't able to get FAF posted.  My apologies!  I have been out of town and a lot, as well as had family visiting, so I just didn't have the time.  Ok...the time with no chance of eyes peeping in.  LOL!  Anyway, the last FAF was of men for the ladies, and the winner is posted to the right. 

I hope everyone has had a great week.  I have chosen what I think are some good pics for you this week, so I hope you enjoy them.  Have a great weekend!

He Has A Way...

(more excerpts from inside the head of DV)

He has a way about his approach to her.  He loves to put her in positions that he views as both submissive and vulnerable.  Positions where she is bound and can move slightly but can't get out of place.  Today, he chooses not to blindfold her.  He wants her to see him moving about, and let her wonder what he is doing.  Let her wonder what implements will be his choice this time. He wants the butterflies to build within her.  He knows it makes her nervous, yet excites her at the same time.  This is what she has asked for in giving herself to him, and it makes her drip with nervous anticipation.


Sometimes she still does not understand this.  She still questions how she can need such things from him.  How she can be so nervous, and subject herself to this.  And yet it turns her on beyond belief.  Her mind says one thing, while her body responds so willingly.  Her mind may question her desire, but her body has no doubts whatsoever.  It burns with a searing heat produced from deep inside, and like no one else has ever made her feel.  

This is her drug.  It's addictive.  As much as she tries she can't do without.  He makes her want and need what only he can give to her.  Sometimes he makes her beg for it.  Sometimes he sates her just a bit but not enough.  Other times he makes her suffer the withdrawals of going without.  While still, other times he gives her so much she thinks she will overdose and can't handle it.  


She has never presented herself to anyone like she does him.  She has never willingly been this vulnerable to anyone or anything.  So why?  Why now?  Why him?  Because she trusts him with every ounce of her being.  She trusts him with her life and every breath she takes.  He has proven he is worthy of her trust.  That he will push her limits and boundaries, but will also care for and see to her well being.  He treats her like his most valued possession, makes her feel appreciated and loved.  She respects him like she has never respected anyone, man or woman.  She truly does belong to him in the most sacred of ways...in her mind. 


As he approaches her, her moves around behind her.  All she can hear is a faint snicker come from him.  She knows why he is laughing.  She is embarrassed, but can't help it, and now that he is standing behind her watching, it kicks into overdrive.  She can feel herself dripping.  She can feel the moisture pouring from within her.  All this time he hasn't said a word.  He hasn't made a single utterance about his intentions or of her being left in this position.  Then finally the silence is broken...

"Oh look...you made a puddle for me again.  You can clean it up when we are done.  No point in doing it now when you'll just have to do it again later."  

To The Edge...

(An excerpt from inside the head of DV...)

There you are, laying there bent across the kitchen table in your orgasmic bliss.  Chest and face on the table with your arms up next to your head.  Your legs are shaking slightly...breathing heavily...your legs barely able to hold yourself up.  You have been taunted and teased and you finally got the release that had built up so strongly inside.  You were finally shown and better understand that you get to cum when, and only when, I allow it.  That I can take you to the edge over and over without letting you cum for me.  

I can inflict pain as well as give you pleasure, and it all turns you on as it comes from my hands.  It all can take you to the edge, and only I decide if you are allowed to fall off the edge to satisfaction.  You never imagined that you could possibly enjoy pain, no less have an orgasm because of it.  But, now you are seeing just how much you need to be controlled by me, how much it turns you on to let go and be at my mercy, and how letting those feelings and sensations flow freely will allow you to feel things like you never have before.  

And here you are...used and dripping and laying across the kitchen table completely bare and naked.  Trying to catch your breath, and not really able muster the strength to rise up.  To some this would be a horrible and embarrassing position to be in.  Maybe even for you once upon a time.  But now, no shame has even crossed your mind.  You feel comfort and peace in being in this position and belonging to me.  Baring yourself to me.  

Just when you think you are about to regain your senses, you feel it.  I am now standing behind you, and you didn't even notice how I got there.  You try to rise up a bit and put my hand between your shoulder blades and shove you forcefully back down against the table.  As my hand applies pressure to your back holding you down, sensing me directly behind you, you feel my hardness against your exposed assets. You are a sloppy mess, but have come to expect this reaction from your body.  It pours uncontrollably for me, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.  

Still feeling me right behind you, rubbing myself in the mess your body has created for me, the tension building, and then all of a sudden you are filled with what you have needed more than anything else...

Secret Service Debacle

The below article was posted on Yahoo! yesterday.  It is about the whole storm that is brewing over the Secret Service Agents hiring prostitutes in the country of Colombia, while on a  forward security detail for President Obama.  I'm sure most of you have heard about this at this point.  The more I read this article, the more I laughed.  So, let's have a little fun with it.

Before I go too far with this, let me say that I highly respect our military, police officers, federal agents, etc...  As a former member of public safety myself, I fully understand what a thankless job it can be.  But to be honest, these people are just idiots, and deserve to be the brunt of my jokes.  

I have re-posted the article below.  I have made my own comments in red, which are what was running through my head when I read this.  Just to be clear, in no way am I picking at or making fun of ABC News, or Christine Romo or Brian Ross, who wrote the article.  Am I picking at and making fun of the Secret Service and the prostitute (ahem), I mean, female escort?  You bet your sweet ass I am.  LOL! 

On with the roast! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secret Service Escort Says US Agents 'Showed No Respect'  Because let's face it...this would be a whole different scenario, and probably would have never even hit the news, if they had just been respectful.  LMAO!  Right!  And  the prostitution profession is so well know for commanding respect.  LOL!

By CHRISTINE ROMO and BRIAN ROSS | ABC News

One of the Colombian escorts at the center of the Secret Service scandal emerged from hiding today, recounting in detail her night in Cartagena with a member of President Obama's protective detail and saying she fears for her safety.  If she hadn't been trying to charge so much for her services and rip off the agents, there would have been no argument, and there would be no reason to fear anything.  

Dania Suarez, a 24-year old dark-haired beauty (matter of opinion), appeared on a call-in show carried by Colombia's W Radio and Carocol Television Friday morning, telling callers the agent was "heavily intoxicated" and everything in his luggage and his papers was left open in his room and could have been easily stolen. But this girl isn't stupid, because then she would really have reason to fear for her safety. 

Asked if she had been a spy could she have removed the papers, Suarez said, "Absolutely, absolutely." Let's face it..she couldn't spy on a new born that can't see and couldn't go anywhere. 

"Clearly, in those moments, if I had wanted to, obviously, I could have done so," she said. But I just wanted my money. 

Suarez says she met the agent at a disco where they danced and she began to rub her hands over his body. Because we all know a guy can't resist that. And...we now know the agent didn't go looking for it, she went after him. 

"He didn't know how to dance," she said of the agent, identified in published accounts elsewhere as Arthur Huntington, who has left the Secret Service under circumstances that are unclear. Ok...stop right there!  Let's not pick on the poor guy because he can't dance.  There's a lot of us that have absolutely no rhythm.  That doesn't mean we don't like to have a few drinks and throw our hips around anyway.  And really?  I mean, Really?  The circumstances under which he is no longer employed by the secret Service is unclear?  LMAO! 

She said that Huntington did not appear to be searching for a prostitute but that "I found him." Those stupid Americans just can't resist when a foreign prostitute throws herself at him. 

Suarez said Huntington fell asleep when they returned to his room and refused to answer the question of whether they actually had sex. 

"If I answer this you will know what happened," she said. LMAO like we don't know what happened.  The only other explanation is that she is lying about everything, and the agent was in the right.  Hmmm...!  But since she won't answer, I guess we'll never know. 

Suarez said the agent "did not feel he got what he was being asked to pay for" and that this led to dispute over how much he owed her at the end of the evening. Because she went after him, he didn't even seek her out.  And it must not have been very good if he wasn't willing to pay for it.  LOL! Or...this is a prime example of why you don't drink too much.  By God I want to remember the sex I have.  :D

She said she does not consider herself a prostitute, but an escort because prostitutes "are lower class and live in brothels." Ummmm...uhhh...ummm...I don't even know what to say about that other than...WTF?  Especially since she appears to be a "higher" class citizen. 

She confirmed other accounts that the agent offered her $30, which led to a confrontation at the agent's door which drew the attention of the hotel manager and local police. He offered to pay her, what more does she want?!?! 

She said the agents pleaded, "Please, please no police, no police." Because if the police showed up then this scene would really get out of control more than it already is.  ROFL!

"Between all of them, they collected the money, $250, and that's what happened in the hall," she said. "They were part of Obama's security group and I told them I was going to call the police so they can pay me the money." Who is "all of them"?  I'm beginning to think this poor guy was screwed from the start (no pun intended).  This woman is off her rocker.  She admits she extorted the guy by raising hell in the hall.  And then...then...let's call the police and tell them I'm a prostitute and the guy won't pay me for the sex we had, or whatever she did, so she wants him arrested or for the police to make him pay.  I'm sure that will go over real well.  LMAO!  ALthough, I guess down there maybe it's no big deal.  

Suarez said she left Colombia for a few days because of concerns her life could be in danger and has had no contact with any American official. It's called, I ran with all the money and didn't want to get caught or arrested. 

"Maybe they are just as dumb as the Secret Service agents," she told the station. Hmmm...dumb American officials, and Secret Service Agents?  Ok, that one I can buy, because that has become so very painfully obvious.  But to taunt them in public like that?  You're asking for trouble missy. 

Throughout her appearance this morning, dressed in a skimpy green blouse, Suarez laughed and smiled even as the host reminded her of the seriousness of the scandal. Oh yes, this is something to get on tv and radio and laugh about.  Who is she calling dumb?  I don't care who you are, if you do that and taunt the Agents and officials, then that is when you better start worrying for your safety.  And I guess a skimpy blouse for a tv interview is much more refined and escort-like than what a prostitute would wear.  LMAO! 

Friday Humor

I haven't done one of my humor posts in a while, so it's time to make up for it.  I'm not sure about where you live, but around here it seems every other car has the family figures on the back glass.  I saw this picture and about fell out of my chair.  This is just too damn funny not to share! (if it's not big enough so you can read it, click on the picture to see it in a larger format)

Fantastic Ass Friday (FAF)

Welcome to the first week of May.  I hope you all are having a great Spring so far.  It's been nice and warm here in the deep southeast U.S.  We had another great vote last week.  In fact, tow of the pictures tied for the most votes.  I started t do a playoff, but then decided I really liked them both.  So...they both get a win.  :)  The winning pictures are posted to the right. 


This week I'm going to give all you ladies who have asked, the treat you have been requesting.  Yep...it's time for some man ass for you all to salivate over.  Sorry to all the guys, but I have to keep the ladies appeased as well.  After all, you men do want your ladies to be happy, don't you?!?!  A special thanks once again to Blossom for her contributions and submissions to FAF.  All you ladies can thank her for helping find some nice pics for the male version of FAF this week.

So Much More...

When people in general hear something or think about D/s or bdsm, the first thing that comes to mind for them is kink.  It is about the physical acts, the force, the sex, being tied up, spanking, etc...  It is what most would refer to as stepping outside the norm of sexual interactions.  If you just like to play the roles every once in a while, then sure, it is all about the physical acts.  When you don't understand it, sure all you see is the physical acts.  When you have never experienced it for yourself, all you know and see are the physical acts beyond what is the norm for you.  But for many of us, it isn't just the kink.  It isn't just the physical acts.  It's so much more!

In my most recent post (You Raise Me up), the video I made and posted attempts to show this.  Yes, the video portrays Domination and submission.  Yet, I tried to make it show and exemplify the deeper side of this lifestyle.  Showing couples that are involved in these types of relationships, and attempting to show the connection and bond between them.  Trying to show the depth of what they have together.  The lyrics to the song stress this point as well.  When we have a great partner and are together, you do raise each other up.  You give each other strength.  You enable each other to be more than you could be on your own.  And don't think it is just the Dom enabling the sub.  It goes both ways.  A sub can have just as powerful an affect on her Dom and show him how much more and better he can be as well. 


There was a recent post I read by Kitty, where she re-posted and quoted some words written by her Daddy and Husband.  The post (click here to read it) is about how the word submission is viewed in society and gets a bad rap.  Then it goes into the religious references of how a husband and wife should be towards each other.  Daddy explains his view extremely well.  He makes it very clear, which I completely agree with, that submission isn't just about giving and not receiving.  It isn't just about a woman submitting to her husband, obeying, and doing as he says.  The husband should be willing to give as well.  In being in charge and having control, the husband should be willing to give everything he is and has  The Husband should give all he has to and for her, up to and including laying down his own life for her. 

Does that sound like kink to you?  Does that sound like it's just fun physical acts?  Not to me!  It's so much more!  It's a connection and bond that transcends everything else.  Even in everyday life, it's the dynamic within the relationship that can lend strength and stability.  It can make you feel more like yourself, more balanced, and more centered than you could ever be on your own.  It can make you desire to give more of yourself than you have ever given anyone.  It's a place and feeling of safety and security.  There is no other place you would rather be than with that person, giving of yourself, and accepting what they have to offer in return.  It is...home!
