A TASTE OF KINK : Redux - post Everett

Bar Myx at 7pm was quiet and I had that little tug of anxiety in the back of my mind that we'd scared away the normal crowd. Immediately, though, I was greeted with smiles and hugs from faces familiar, long missed and brand new. New friends, old friends, what a lovely blend of people too! We quickly set up and I will admit I was delighted with being in the middle of it all to be boot blacking; I got to see it all and even better, I was able to interact with the crowd and be in the middle of it all. It was nice, although it gets a little crazy in a bar around 11pm, if you're sitting in a chair hunched over shoes.

By the time we really got going at around 9, the bar was hopping and we already had a lot of interest in what we were doing. We got the chance to introduce the Cocoon House members who showed up to represent and the crowd really warmed up; the Sisters worked their magic and we soon had lots of folks wanting to be tied up, flogged, paddled, caned, trampled, electrocuted and waxed. We had quite the little debauchery den in the back room with Cro waxing people and using dick-cicles to introduce temperature play; Catawhorl paddling and Sir flogging - and they took turns with the violet wand. And up front, on the platform we had decorative rope & suspensions by Tenball, caning by TheFutchCake and trampling by RyanS. And there I was, my chair against the dance pole right by the dance floor, shining shoes for anyone who cared to sit in my chair.

We had the chance to raffle off some prizes, one of our winners - our first winner - told me that she was delighted because she never won anything. It was such a great start to the evening! We raffled off a Babeland gift bag and lots of small prizes like lube and hand-made coaster sets donated by a sweet kinkster in Spokane. We raised a decent bit, but even better - Cocoon House got a lot of interest and was invited back to host their own fundraisers anytime.

We were delighted!
And then the management at Bar Myx thanked us for coming in and hosting such an event and invited us back this year and next to continue such parties. It was such an amazing experience and I can't wait for this weekend to continue this run. It's just been wonderful and I feel as though we've had a lot of good interaction with the community at large.

A TASTE OF KINK : Washington Style

February 23rd
Spokane, WA
The Red Club inside Irv's
The Hop

We drove out of Seattle at noon on Friday, 2/22. About 5 minutes into the drive (which is to say not even into Bellevue yet) I got a call from my bank advising me that their servers were hacked and there were fraudulent charges on my account. As a result, my debit card had been cancelled and I would have to hit a bank to pick up a new one. I wasn't too thriled with this but there was a location in Issaquah that I could stop at, so Sir drove us there.

I got a new card in about 20 minutes; and the fact that there were seven folks in front of me for the same thing, it sounded like a pretty heavy hit on the bank server. Either way, I got my card and we were on our way!

Up and over Snoqualmie Pass we went, the temperature had dropped just as we reached the summit and it began snowing. Still, nobody can question Sir's driving skills and we made it through the snow without issue. Once we were in the lowlands, it was all smooth sailing again and we arrived in Spokane without further incident. But we weren't quite sure was going on yet so we grabbed a bite to eat at Sattelite Cafe (really good food, ok prices) and then walked next door to Irv's to get ready. Bless her heart, Savannah - the Empress - showed up just before us and found a spot to change and get ready before the event. We were surprised with the news that they had left the show open ended in case we had any performances so Sir & Texas John did a flogging demo while I narrated and then during the drag numbers and other announcements, I was bootblacking.
Sir & I were asked to join the Court on the main floor of the Red Club and were made Leather Ambassadors; and we are so very honored. I just need to get a shelf to put the placards, because they're awesome. :) After the show, we finalized arrangements and headed to our night's destination : bed.

Saturday, we slept in a bit and then hung out with a few out-of-face Queens while we all got ready for the night - I even got a haircut! Then we were off to meet our Tops for the night and grab dinner before heading to The Hop. The event went well, though I will admit I'm used to Seattle crowds, so it was quieter than I had hoped for to begin with but what a wonderful evening it was. Sir handled flogging while I did boot blacking. We had an electro & pervertables Table, a rope & bondage Table and a spanking & paddles table. We had a local sex & toy store who came out to represent and they even donated a grand prize bag worth over $400!
All in all, it was a good night. I was very glad to be able to get to a bed afterwards as boot blacking, while wonderful and enjoyable, does take a lot out of a girl.

Sunday, Texas John treated us to breakfast after I had a little "Travel Tetris" game with Brigit - my beloved leather Bug; then it was back to Seattle. Fortunately, there was no snow over the Pass this time and Sir got us home in great time. I remember very little of the trip home, having been happily curled up under a blanket in the back seat sound asleep.
