God, that seems like a lifetime ago. But I do remember it was very fun.
Two years I think. Dude.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Although the "corset" play piercings look SO cool. I think I'd try *that.*
Yeah, that's kind of appealing. Huh.
Plus, endorphin rush = YAY.

It was when I was interviewing at Bennington right? Then three. Still, multiple apartments and cities ago.

The first was the letter-writer whose sister had insisted on bringing her slave, dressed in full slave gear, to the family Thanksgiving dinner (they had a formal written contract and he lived in a dungeon room in her basement)
See, shit like that pisses me off. One of the biggest tenets of kink is that it has to be consensual. And the thing is, that's not limited to the 2 (or more) partners -- if you're bringing your slave, in collar, etc., to your non-kinky family's holiday dinner, and they (1) don't know you're going to do so, and/or (2) would prefer that your slave wear jeans and a sweater, then that is you, the "Master," VERY MUCH non-consensually dragging your family into your kink. And that's just selfish and egotistical and wrong.
Ahem. When did I climb up on this soapbox? I can see my house from up here!
(And the second thing, the one JZ kindly whitefonted -- YIKES! Unsanitary! UNSANITARY!)

You guys got to see my brother's restaurant (as did Nora and Tom) about a year before *I* ever did!

agreed. Being fairly vanilla myself, I'm also extremely open minded (most of my friends are kinky!) I wouldn't have a problem if one of my friends wanted to bring a slave to dinner, but ONLY if all of the other guests were okay with it. I might mention that if they wanted the slave to do the dishes, that would be okay with me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Teppy, doesn't sound soapboxy to me. Very sensible, actually. Though I'd have less sympathy for the family if slave had gone in "civvies" as an ordinary guest. (Or are such things not done in the master-slave world? I'm no expert.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I am bitter that I have neither Vortex nor Aimee for FSF rampaging.
However - bonny, that's really cool that you're a safe space for your young friend.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yeah, that was pretty much Dan's take on it, Tep. With a side of personally pissed off, because apparently the sister got all huffy when her parents timidly objected, and went off on a rant about how if she were lesbian they'd feel honor-bound to accept her partner at family gatherings, and since this was her sexual identity they should have the same obligation toward her slave, or else they were oppressive and kinkophobic: to which Dan delivered a lovely little "Please stop being on my side" counter-rant.
eta: Fred, my (admittedly vague) memory of the letter was that the slave was there in full slave mode, "Yes mistress, no mistress, may I please mistress?" and sitting on the floor while everyone else was in chairs and all the rest.
