Shibaricon 2008
I’ve registered. Excellent. Happy Birthday to me!
Now I just have to reserve my room & figure out what classes I’m going to want to take…

So Many Things At Once
An interesting article here from a few months back. Quite a few names I recognize, namely Lochai and Midori, as well as Jimmy (Jimi?) Tatu. All people I hope to meet, when I’m at Shibaricon this upcoming year.
At one point in the article it tries to describe shibari, saying:
“Depending upon whom you talk to, it’s a creative way to get off sexually, it’s a compelling visual art form, it’s a magnet for serious photographers, it’s an ancient set of sado-masochistic techniques, and it’s a prototypical male-domination fantasy that makes feminists’ hair stand on end.”
Do we have to choose?
Gargoyle Toes
So this is the rope from Gargoyle Toes, a local shop in Montreal. Haven’t had a chance to play with it yet, but I have done some experimentation on myself. It feels nice… not as soft as the Bavarian hemp I got from Monk, but good nonetheless. Holds knots well. And it’s a good red. Eventually I’ll want to get something a bit more burgundy.
Except, I think I need to curtail my rope acquisition for a while, though. I’ve been itching for some new ink for a while. Designing will happen over the holidays, and hopefully I’ll be paying a visit to The Reverend Matt early in the new year. Another birthday tattoo, yes please.
Want: The Bondage Bed
On Control’s Wishlist -
Yeah, if I had the money, and trusted the floor of my apartment could support it, I’d pick one of these up in a second. Four post, really solid looking bed. Very much my aesthetic.
The real reason I want one, though, is because with virtually no effort, it turns into this.
I mean come on, how fantastic is that? I do feel like I’d want to be at ground level. My bedroom is far too slanty to make such a thing possible right now. But still, still, I covet. AND they’re local. If there’s anyone who reads this who’s actually played with one, let me know how they are. I’m dead curious.
cummings (one)
Three poems, all from ee cummings, one of my favourites. This poem is, in fact, a joy to say aloud.
~
i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like,, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh . . . . And eyes big Love-crumbs,
and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you quite so new
ee cummings, 1925
