I just want to give stuff away to celebrate So I‘m being very flexible with the format.

Your entry/s must your own original material and not published else where.
Entries may include photos and/or art work. use your imagination and have fun with your entry/s. Stories, poems and resource pages are great, but dressed up with some pics WOW now, that’s got to get our attention. This is your chance to shine and show us all how clever, and creative you are.

Submit your “entry” to the forum and you will be registered for a chance to win.
Each entry needs to be added as a new topic in the contest section (start a new thread)
You may enter as many entries as you wish.
Dead line for entries is 23rd August 2008
All pictures (if added) to entry/s must be your own original content (or Creative Commons copyright) and must be placed and linked from your personal album.
(if you are unsure on how to do this contact admin)

SOME IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS:

Write a Femdom story it could be real or just a fantasy you have.

Write a Femdom ode or poem. Poems may even be dedicated to your partner.

Why not write a Femdom story and include some personal pictures or art works showing ‘just‘ what happened, or use pics to set the scene.

You could recreate that CBT scene you had, or dream off, maybe even give instructions if story writing is not your thing.

Or how mistress has you chastity, what CB’s are, how they work, the impact on the mind, body, relationship

Or how she likes you to dress. Do you have advise on clothing selections or ‘how too’ instructions for ‘forced Femme’ maybe corsets are you thing, how do you care for them, find the right sizing, correct lacing, what’s the history of corsets?

Maybe your good at giving a manicure, manicure or sensual massage...instructions and pics on the process could make for interesting resource page.

Recourse page entries need to be instructional , factual, or informative, or at the least ’food for thought’

have you made a toy or planning on making a toy. Why not include photos of your progress and finished item.
Good with rope? What about a step by step instruction page with pictures.
Got a Femdom game you play? Instructions would be a wonderful addition.

The limits are only your imagination.
Imaginative entries attract attention, attention gets you prizes.
What are you wanting for…go on get creative!!!

Dominant Damsels Birthday

Born on April 22, 1923, in Nashville, Tennessee

With locks as dark as midnight and a smile as bright as day, Bettie Page was much more than a beautiful pinup model, she was simply the best. A legend as much today as during her modeling days, every facet of Bettie's life and personality captures the interest and devotion of the thousands of fans that followed her career until the day of her mysterious disappearance.

Bettie's numerous contradictions undoubtedly added to her charismatic personality. Nice and naughty, shy and daring, simple and exotic, Bettie shone with a freshness never before seen in the modeling industry. Without elaborate props, costumes, or set-dressings, Bettie produced some of the most beautiful shots to ever grace the covers of hundreds of magazines. Bettie's smoothly tanned skin, deep blue eyes and coal-black hair with her trademark bangs, were enough inspiration to spark the imagination of even the least experienced photographers. Her "girl next door" look and innocent smile only complemented that explosive combination of features.

Through the 1980s and the 1990s, Bettie Page re-surged as a modeling icon. The media, intrigued by her mysterious disappearance launched a countrywide search for Bettie. Comic books soon featured characters that resembled Bettie, contemporary artists such as Olivia, Dave Stevens, and Robert Blue immortalized their idol with their powerful images. Today, Bettie is enjoying her private life with her family.

Bettie's undeniable influence is present still today in fashion, films, and magazines just to name a few. The dark-haired girl from Nashville has become a living legend, a modern icon, a symbol of beauty and femininity that transcends ordinary standards. In the heart of her adoring fans, Bettie will forever remain the queen of pinup.

Tag I'm it

Ohhh crap I've been tagged





As Saratoga wrote in this post, the rules of the game are:



-Write your own six word memoir

-Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like

-Link to the person that tagged you in your post

-Tag five more Blogs with links

-And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged Blogs with an invitation to play



Saratoga wrote the below

For quite some time, I suppose the salient characteristic of my approach to life

is to explore new intellectual, emotional and/or personal terrain while

leaving behind things which are no longer useful or necessary. A graduate

school friend once remarked on my ability to continually change and reshape

myself according to my current needs and planned explorations.

Thus, like Nina, describing what I consider to be a hallmark of my life is also pretty

easy. The concept was instantly clear- it just took a little effort to get the exact wording right.

My six-word memoir:



Pushing new frontiers without unnecessary baggage.



Now that I've had my fun, I

tag Lenora, Milliscent, Bonnie, MsSnS and MsCatwoman to play.

I hate being tagged but seeing it’s Saratoga I'll give it ago.



Ever Moving Forward Never Looking Back







Forever:

because I know I’ve meet my soul mate for forever.



Moving:

I never stop moving. Moving either as in movement sake or moving house is always ever present on my mind. Riding moving with the road.





Forward:

I love the direction my life has taken. When I was in my early 20’s I never imagined life could take me where it has. I still have many more years and wonderful adventures and travels planed. Standing still you forget to learn. Still to me means stagnating.





Never:

I have this list of ‘Never’

never do ‘this’ or ‘that‘, this year I decided I decided to increase moving, better the forward directions I’m taking and turn some of those never do’s into must conquer and do’s and add to my never have to conquer again list





Looking:

I’m always looking for new ways, new adventures, new toys, new skills. I always tell my boys you never know what you’ll find unless you looking around you. Stop looking and things pass you by.





Back:

a place from back there that’s gone. A person from back there that’s gone. A family from back there that’s gone. A past that shaped me into a person Forever Moving Forward Never Looking Back.

I’ve picked this picture because it’s my new toy, it sort of links my past to my present plus give me ‘movement’ I grew up on the right side of tracks but choose to hang out on the other side. My life was full of bikes, subbiebikers, and misadventures. I seek adrenaline and they gave it too me. As I’ve aged this part of me kept returning…the bikers are long gone now but that addiction remains. I guess no matter how much we change and grow over the years something’s of our past never do. Hey at least now I can wear more leathers ;-)



I’m choosing not tag five, as reading back through most of the bloggers have already been tagged LOL

Show some love..please :)

In honour of ‘Amore’

Being your slave what should I do but tend Upon the hours,

and times of your desire?

I have no precious time at all to spend;

Nor services to do, till you require.

Nor dare I chide the world without end hour,

Whilst I, my sovereign,

watch the clock for you,

Nor think the bitterness of absence sour,

When you have bid your servant once adieu;

Nor dare I question with my jealous thought Where you may be,

or your affairs suppose,

But, like a sad slave,

stay and think of nought Save, where you are,

how happy you make those.

So true a fool is love,

that in your will,

Though you do anything,

he thinks no ill.

~William shakspeare~ Sonnet 57
