So, seeing as I do plan to run through the vendors at IML, I figured I should ask the boyfriend if there was anything he wanted me to pick up for him. On the list of things that I refused to pick up for him whether he wanted them or not, I included Slaveboy, sling (just too big to carry), or shower douches. I did, in fact, give the reason specified in the strip. That’s all I need is to walk around giving everyone the impression that not only am I a bottom, but I’m soon to be an incredibly clean bottom.
Not that if I were going to be a bottom, I would be anything BUT clean.
But everyone already knows that I’m as pure as a the driven snow… the well-driven snow. With a slurry of snow and salt mixed with mud and tiny little rocks. That’s how I roll.
Regardless, I do want to pick Mike up SOMETHING as a little gift that says I’m thinking about him while surrounded by leather-dudes, whips, paddles, and giant whale-penis dildos. Seriously, though – if I came home with a whale-penis dildo as a gift, I’m fairly sure that would be grounds for divorce. Unless I gave the impression that I only intended it to be a centerpiece on our coffee table, and even then…
I feel like I should also mention somewhere in the blog that one of the classic descriptions of a Hipster is someone who does something not because it’s cool – but because it’s so uncool that it’s ironically cool. Get it? Neither do I. Regardless, the concept of it amused me for the strip in the context of someone because a sexual Hipster. I do imagine there are some people out there who know everything about every type of sex act in the world, every fetish, every types of sex toy, etc… And if those folks are often found at parties mocking others for their lack of knowledge and scoffing at the pervo-newbies, then perhaps, yes, sexual Hipsters DO exist.
“Psh, I was wearing a bondage harness before it was cool!”
I’m sure I’ll run into my share of those at Bear Pride as well. Regardless, that’s the least of my concerns for a run – and to be honest, the more “colorful” people I meet, the better overall. The only thing that really disappoints me is when I hear that people who read my strip saw me somewhere and didn’t say hello. I’m horrible with faces… and I mean that because I think I know everyone and I’m terrible with names. So for fucks sake – throw me a damn bone if you see me and come up and introduce yourself. Regardless of what I’m doing, I can only assure you that I’m cool with it.
For now, though – I’ve got a month and a half to wait for my trip to Chicago and work to attend to tomorrow morning… so I suppose I should get my priorities straight and head to bed. Ta-ta for now!
You’re gonna hit IML? COOL! Hopefully I’ll see you there!
For goodness sake, don’t buy a “shower douche” unless you want to be one. Go to the local hardware store where you can ogle the boys/men.
Buy the diverter, the tubing for an hand held shower, and then by a shower head neck with a ball on the end. Most necks have a screw on the end where you can screw on a new shower head. Others have a ball permanently mounted to them. These are designed where one half the head goes on before you put it in the wall, and the other half gets installed onto that ring.
Of course you don’t need those other parts. Should coast you less than $20.
A) They don’t give you slings at IML, they ship them to your house via UPS/FedEx.
B) I’m pretty sure people aren’t analyzing the contents of your (usually) opaque bags. They’re too busy trying to hide their whale penis dildos.
People were TOTALLY buying portable slings that they could mount on their hotel beds at IML last year. Not sure which vendor had them, but it was definitely a “thing”. The full-scale dealios, though – yes, delivery only.
Ft. Troff used to have half-frames, where you would have two uprights and a crossbar, with things that slid under the mattress to stabilize it, all used to hold up the legs or ass. I can’t find them for sale now, though.
Fort Troff offers a door sling, the fun and frisky “demonstration videos make it look fun and quite portable. The theory being it is made for travel?!
Oh yeah, you haven’t asked for my shopping wish list yet?!
To be embarrassed to be seen as some one that like to bottom, to even go to the effort of not being seen with an anal douche for fear of what other people will think! Now that’s a specific type of homophobia.
