There are two great events coming to the Pacific Northwest in November and I couldn’t help but share them with you:
Mollena Williams: IMsL 2010 – Vancouver Tour – November 5-7 2010
NubianImp Projects is bring Mollena Williams up to Vancouver for a fun, educational weekend in November. Check out her 69 Stories: One Pervert’s Tale, which has had rave reviews from others. Saturday and Sunday is full of workshops which will let you learn, grow and have a good time. For the event details, check out Numbimp event listing or the Fetlife listing. You can register for the whole weekend or sign up for individual classes and the show.
I’m really looking forward to the weekend, I’ve seen Mollena present at Beyond Leather and enjoyed her classes. She is a natural performer and her workshops that I’ve seen were entertaining and educational. I’ll be there for the whole weekend and PG will be there for most of it.
Leather Reign – November 12-14 2010
The weekend after I’m heading down to Washington state for Leather Reign. I first heard about the 
conference from some of my friends and once I heard more about it, I wanted to attended. Master Z, Mollena Williams, slave caroline, Daddy Ken and slaveboy Tim along many others will be presenting. I’m looking forward to the workshops, play parties, speaker meals as well as seeing friends and hanging out with them for the weekend. The organizers were sweet enough to give me a discount code to pass on AGONE2010 to save $5 for my friends/readers/community. It’s a limited number but there is still a chance to use it to save. (I’ll take this down once it’s no longer available). Check out their website or fetlife listing. You can register for the whole weekend or just the day.
Let me know if you are coming to any of them. I would love to see you at both or either of them.
I’m happy to announce that I’m organizing a GrUE in my home town, Vancouver. I’ve been wanting to organize one for awhile and after talking and making arrangements with Graydancer, the date is set. More details will be annonced but mark your calenders now.

Curling up in bed and watching the rain fall as I’m thinking about the weekend that just passed at Paradise. I seemed to crash harder than usual after this long weekend away. Being away at camp has a magic surrounding it that is enhanced more so than other conventions. You’re isolated away from the world around you and with people who are at the very least kink friendly. You don’t have to worry about finding something to cover up your fetish clothing or your naked body when heading to a workshop, dinner or just walking around. You’re not surrounded by the news and the daily life stuff that occupies your life normally. It’s a fabulous getaway.
One of the things that was reinforced from both Jim Duvall “Rape and Abduction Play” workshop and “Defining the Moment” workshop by Graydancer was thinking and communicating about the core thing that you need to be fulfilled in certain scenes. It can be an action or a feeling but it served as a good reminder that when you are planning certain scenes to think about that, define it and communicate. I’m looking forward to thinking about some of my other fantasies, breaking them down and trying to make them a reality.
I met so many wonderful people, reconnected with friends, got to know people who I met previous better, hot play, workshops, cuddling, lots of naked swimming and hot tubing, long conversations, time by the fire, new fantasies and fulfilling one.
I’m still slowly trying to get over the drop from this weekend. I’m hoping cuddling up and watching some True Blood with a mix of blueberries and raspberries will hopefully help as tomorrow morning is going to come early and I’m sure the e-mails and in-tray are going to be stocked high after those couple of days off. I’m planning on writing more about some of my time at Paradise but right now, I’m going to take care of myself.
This Friday past was Bride of Pride, which is a fun women’s party for past, present and future women. They are hosted by Canadian 
Mayhem, which hosts play parties and will be having another conference in May 2011.
The play party was a lot of fun and very free-flowing. I was able to see a lot of people and have the chance to catch up with them. Lots of sexy people in great outfits, hot scenes, and great conversations.
The social area and play area were mixed well together with lots of stations to play at. One of the best things I like about it, is the rules are very free and they don’t have the restrictions that other parties have. I was DMing later in the evening so I didn’t get a chance to play but walking around and watching the scenes were entertaining, hot and fun.
If you’re a past, present or future women, you should definitely check out one of their parties. I had a blast and there are so many fun and sexy people who attend.
Last night I went to a FIRE party, which stands for Female Identified Riggers Evolution. It was a lot of fun and a completely different vibe from most rope events. It was great as there was social time in the beginning and then a beginners work shop and downstairs there was a chance for people who were beyond the basics to practice everything from floor work to suspension.
We got a chance to go over the basics. My friend G graciously volunteered to be my stunt bottom as I learned and thankful helped me when I got stuck. I was very happy when I did my first chest harness on him.
One thing I noticed is that as soon as the hemp rope touched my hands, my mind was starting to get all floaty and started to wander into a more bottom space. I had to fight to stay out of it. I guess over the years, I’ve been conditioned. However, I love being conditioned that way so it will be an interesting experience trying to keep that but being able to turn it off when needed. I’m looking forward to practising more and slowly learning. Now, just to find people to practise on.
June MVK rolled around and we made sure that either PG or I would be volunteering as we wanted the night to have fun since he will be going on vacation soon. I headed out early to attended Rivers “The Care and Feeding of our Top” which was a well put together, informative workshop. If you have the chance to see a workshop by River, take the opportunity as she is a great educator. It allowed me to think of ways to maintain and grow my current relationships and helpful reminders about the power of new relationship energy along with other things.
After hanging out in the sun and grabbing something small to eat, PG and I were able to catch up for a while before we went into play. We jumped on the high blue bench and had a wonderful scene with lots of impact play including paddles, fists, kicking, leather gloves and more. It was a lot of fun and I was floating high pretty early in the scene. One of the many things that is great about PG is that he knows me so well and we have done hundreds of scenes that he knows how to get me out of my mind and into the wonderful floaty space. He let me relax, uncuffed me and lay down on the bench afterwards and relax. After I was more with it and was able to walk, we went to the aftercare tent before being social. I was still pretty floaty but PG made sure I was okay while we talked to some of our friends before calling it a relatively early night. We decided to go back to my house to cuddle and give each other aftercare but unfortunately we feel asleep together before taking part of Cane A Slut Day which is June 6th. However, we still have time today to take part.
I wrote this on the train but only got around to posting this now after adding links. I’ve been a busy girl but enjoy the post. It was a wonderful weekend.
I’m sitting on a slow train heading back to Vancouver. I was down in Seattle for the weekend attending Sex 2.0. Numerous sessions were held, new thoughts, discussions and ideas were formed. I’ll be writing about other aspects of it but right now by brain is done so I’m moving onto some social aspects and naming the sessions I went to.
After taking the train down early on Friday. K was sweet to pick me up from the train station and we went back to his and S new place. It was nice hanging out with them as it’s been way to long since I’ve seen them. We hung out and I learned more about Leather Reign which is happening in November (I’ll be posting more about it). After hanging out, catching up and grabbing some food, it was time to head back to the hotel to register and begin the night at Sex 2.0.
There were dual events going on but after showering I checked out the hospitality suite which was playing CineKink shorts and had a selection of treats. I watched a couple of them including a video about these massive balloons that are blown up and people put themselves in them halfway or fully. It was interesting to watch and I might want to try it if I got the opportunity but I wouldn’t be seeking it out. After getting my fill of shorts, I decided it was time to go change and head down to the pool party. I was pleasantly surprised that the pool was clothing optional. I dislike swimming with a swim suit (thank god for Wreck Beach) as swimming naked is so freeing. After stripping down, I went into the pool and got to know some fun people, flirted, talked and swam. Plus, what’s better then swimming naked. I headed back up to shower and my roommate for the weekend, Graydancer, came in and we checked out the hospitality suite with brownies and Crash Pad playing before crashing. He was a great roomate to have, perfect with nudity, fun and a pleasure to talk with.
The morning came early with sessions, I attended such as New Sex Educators by Ducky DooLittle and Off-Road Relationships:Expanding Beyond a Picket Fence by Kay Porter which were informative and gave me lots to think about. Lunch was a great cafe with Grace from Monopolyblog and Holden who host Hawtsome podcast, check out both of their sites. It was wonderful to meet them and to get to know them. There were lots of people who I met during the day, during sessions and on breaks including Inara de Luna, Julian Arancia, Veiled Venus, Betty Martin from Sacred Eros, Nick, Allena and many other.
After lunch, I attended, Out: The Challenges and Rewards of Being Sex Positive to Your Family, Friends, Job and Culture by Graydancer which has relevance as I am trying to come out in more parts of my life where I can. The next session was The Need For “Peermanship” In Meat-Time: Flying Your Freak Flag At Conferences, Why It’s Important to Hit On Your Peers, and How To Handle Your Conference Crushes… by Reid Mihalko which was interesting and funny. After the session, I found Scarlet Lotus who I really wanted to hang out with since I found out I was going. As we were trying to find a place to eat, we ended up running into a bunch of people from the conference and grabbed some Thai. Delicious food and great company.
In the evening there wasn’t anything officially planned with the conference but I knew that I wanted to go to the CSPC for their pansexual play party, The Edge. Others wanted to as well which turned out great. After checking out the space and familiarize myself with the rules, Gray and I negotiated a wrestling/fighting scene we talked about earlier that day. It was a fun scene but boy, he is really strong. I couldn’t even really pin him down but it was fun being able to punch, fight and get thrown around. The after scene experience was mind blowing and I’m not sure if I’m able to use her name and details, however all of us ended up staying till closing having a memorial time.
Sunday morning came too early after a late night last night, the first session was The Whore Madonna Complex in Contemporary Society with Veronica Monet and then Making Money as a Sex Educator with Ducky DooLittle, Graydancer, and Inara de Luna which provided lots of information and things to think about. Yes, No, and Consent by Sinclair Sexsmith was also well worth attending including an exercise about saying no. Later there were closing remarks, draws for raffle item, and a recap of the day.
My body was pleasantly sore from the previous night, including a sore pelvis bone and bruises that were starting to form. I went back up to the room and Gray mentioned that Maymaym was organizing people to go see Iron Man 2. It was a perfect way to take a break and simply relax and enjoy a movie. You meet so many people, new ideas, experiences, things to try that at the end of it, it’s nice to take time to do something where your mind and body can relax. I’ve added it to my list of things to do after a Con and now will suggest it to others as it really helps. Thanks Gray for the suggestion, it really helped me and helped the post con crash.
After the movie, a much needed hot bath was had and dinner. After taking some downtime I went to the Sex 2.0 afterparty at the CSPC. I got there late but it was a nice way to end the conference, hang out and talk about the weekend..
Monday I said goodbye to my roommate, went back to bed and ran into Essin’ Em at breakfast before meeting up with K and S, going out for lunch and hanging out with them before catching the train.
It was a great time at Sex 2.0 and this is only a brief post about the weekend. I know I’m forgetting some other great people that I ran into but I could write a short novel on the weekend. The weekend inspired me to start trying new things, pursuing opportunities but the best part of the weekend was the personal connections with people I knew or just met and the new ideas to pursue. Potential play dates when I come to Seattle next, thoughts to explore and planning a special event for Vancouver is only the beginning.

May MVK was really quiet for me. I got really sick on Thursday with a cold/fever and spent the majority of Thursday, Friday and Saturday in bed and on my couch. I was hoping to be better for the unconference but unfortunately my body wasn’t going to have it.
PG called me as he was volunteering for the whole night and was starting to feel sick too. He wanted to check in and see how I was doing and if I was feeling better. I was a bit better but didn’t want to push it though so I thought I would stay home. I wished him a goodnight and to feel better. After I hung up, I thought that I wanted to help him out and give him some support since he was starting to feel sick too. It sucks having to volunteer when you are feeling like crap. I was feeling a bit better, wanted out of the house plus S was going to MVK and I wanted to spend time with her too.
We got to MVK just before 10pm and after seeing PG, socializing, and catching up a bit, S and I decided to practice some ties together from the Complete Shibari , which was really fun. PG would come by and help us when we would get stuck and show us little tricks. I’m looking forward to doing that again.
Afterwards I hung out with PG, giving him a massage and just watching the scenes take place until it was time to go home. A bit of socializing with others and it was time to go home. It was nice car ride home, just spending a bit of time together, hugs and holding hands.
Even though it wasn’t the most action pack MVK and I was still feeling a bit sick, it was a great time socializing, learning and spending it with two very important people in my life.
For April MVK, a scene was planned with PG and River. During a previous MVK, PG bid on River during a scene auction. I wasn’t told anything as PG negotiated on my behalf. All I knew was that a take down was going to take place and bruises and marks were okay. I tried over the past couple of weeks to get more information from him but he won’t give me anything except for stuff that I already knew.

Saturday came along and I stopped by the thrift shop to pick up something that could be destroyed. After searching for a while, I finally found a slip that could be used. I was excited but nervous going into it. I wasn’t sure what to expect except that it would be fun and intense.
When we got there, PG and River went to go talk secretly. After topping up fluid levels the basic summary guidelines were given and we socialized with others. PG came up and told me to run. I ran around the dungeon but since it’s a closed area, I ended up getting stuck. They caught me and dragged me by the hair back to the cross. They let me go again and this time I went into the aftercare area but was blocked by a big mirror on one side. I should have found out before about how much I could do when fighting back. I know what I can do with PG but I wasn’t sure how hard I could fight back with River.
She pushed me to fight back which was good because then I knew I could be physical and hit and kick back. It was fun because I didn’t have to hold back as there was two of them taking me down. There was pinching, punching, kicking and other rough housing. After running away and doing an okay job of escaping, they caught me a dragged me back to the cross that we were using.
I was thrown on the ground when I noticed what they were trying to do. River was trying to control me while PG was trying to put my black locking cuffs on me. I was doing a pretty good job fighting back and moving my arms away so he couldn’t get them all. After much fighting, River sat on my arms so I couldn’t really fight but I was trying. My wrist were connected to a chain on a hard point on the cross which gave me plenty of room to move but not escape.
Most of the rest is a blur of memories as I was already started to get floaty. Once I was cuffed, a knife was shown to me and I was told not to move or I would be cut as I felt it cutting the slip off. Very hot. There was lots of kicking, punching, sharp objects and a game of tick tack toe on my back. Lots of kicks to my cunt and feeling and smelling my own wetness. At one point my legs were lifted up so my ass and pussy were exposed, my face was slapped. There was so much was going on and I couldn’t help but giggle and scream as everything was going on. It was so much fun
In the middle of fighting back at one point, my hand was on the floor and PG came down on it with his knee, I felt some pain but just held on it as we kept going. In the rough housing, I got a cut so we had to take a break to clean up and bandage up the cut. PG noticed my finger was a weird shape and assessed it. He asked me to squeeze his and I couldn’t. River looked at it to and they decided it would be best to stop to get it checked out. We got another opinion from the DMC and some first aid was performed. Everyone was really sweet. I was so high when it happened that I didn’t realize that it was something that had to be looked after and was confused on why we would have to stop. Lots of endorphins.
We went to the emergency room where they took an x-ray and before or during that time, it snapped back into place. Luckily it was only dislocated and sprained instead of being broken. I just need to rest, take T3s to manage the pain and wait for it to get better.
Despite the injury, it was a really fun night, I’m just sad that the scene had to end early. River and PG were really great to play with and took really good care of me once the injury was realized. PG kept me company and gave me support at the hospital, filled my prescription, make sure I have some easy to make food and cuddled with me till I was restful and asleep. I get pretty dopey when I’m on painkillers.
Now I’m just resting, recovering, taking some meds and smiling from the memories.
