I need (for some value of "need") more whacking toys. Can anyone recommend a toy
store in the SF Bay Area?

Thanks,
Molly B

said that, however, there are a couple of kinky women I can think of in the
Bay Area that are very close to my size, so that may not be true at the
Flea.

I got a bit of the giggles when I arrived at the big play party a few
weeks ago, because there was, indeed, a rack full of all black leather
coats, and it struck me as so incredibly cliche.

Why *do* people treat it like it's a requirement of uniform, anyway?

was a major exception.)

I'm a Dom who is keen on leather and also is a Goth, a rack full of
black leather seems perfectly delightful to me. (G)

I love leather, but that much of it kinda makes me feel like slipping
into a nice yellow sundress. That said, I think it's time for a new
leather jacket--mine's nearly twenty years old, and looks it. I'm not
sure how much longer I'm going to be able to get by with the
old-n-tattered look before the very seams give out.

For me, black leather isn't a uniform :) I truly enjoy it. And black
leather is one of the few combinations of fabric and color that flatters
me. I *love* black leather, and have as much of it around me as
possible, from collars to crops to sheaths for swords to boots to purses
to wallets to hats to gloves to jackets etc etc ad nauseum.

The chances are good, in fact, that in a purely vanilla context whenever
I go out, I'll be wearing something that's both black and leather. Just
because! Haven't analyzed why, particularly. It's enough to know that I
enjoy the look and feel and smell ect.

My dog's new collar is leather :) It looks good on her too! Not black,
though. She is black, so I got her a russet colored collar for contrast.

No uniforms here. I just really like the stuff.

Ok, so what's the code word? besides the "Molly?" inquiry that Masterwoof will
be making?
If a short, chunky woman with reddish-brown hair looks at you and then appears
to be debating with herself about whether it's you, it could be me ;)

Is this being held in a part of town where I should Walk Very Fast from BART?
Someone has told me that's the case, and I'm not sure if that's accurate info. I
tend to think it's exaggeration, but I have been wrong before.

Ok, gotcha! Assuming I get well and make it there, I'll be with a guy with
salt and pepper hair and a goatee, who's just a hair shorter than me and a
little less round. We also both wear glasses.

Oh, wait! Here you go: http://people.tribe.net/smoorefu

It's not the best part of town, certainly, but I wouldn't hesitate to walk there
alone in the afternoon (the Flea is 2-5). I wouldn't linger there alone after
dark, however. Also use common sense, look like you know where you are going,
that kind of thing.

Yeah, but then I'd have to actually buy the yellow sundress, instead of
just talking big.

Nah, you delegate that to the person(s) running the event. All *you*
should have to do is show up and put on the garment. Hmmm, I'm thinking
that friend we have in common that buys the most amazing pervertibles at
Goodwill... ('Course, she is so evil that it might end up being *pink*!)

Mine is of similar vintage, with popped underarm seams and a dog-chewed
lapel. But it's grey with black lapels, and no eaupelettes. They go
with the black leather cuffed slacks. It's replacement will have to be
tweed, I'm afraid - with leather elbow-patches and a tie.

Ack, the last time she and *her* friend dressed me, I lost a layer of
skin! I've learned to be frightened when she says, "I bet we could
find something for you to wear". (And, frankly, I can't imagine the
friend of the first part even *touching* pink. It'd probably turn
black in her hands or something, just to fit in.)

Er? They dressed you in duct tape? I once saw someone put a young man in
a duct tape corset. Unfortunately no one had realized that he was allergic
to the glue. Oops. Getting it off of him was ... interesting. I think it
may have been even more edge play for the top than for the bottom, as she
clearly hadn't wanted to dish out that much noncon pain.

Hmmm, I can just picture her saying that, and the gleam in her eyes too.

Ha ha ha!! I dunno, I could picture her even *wearing* pink, but it would
be purely to mess with the heads of the spectators, and I'm certain it would
be paired with Big Black Boots.

Ouch! That's what the Saran Wrap is for! Alternatively, use athletic
wrap first, or the stuff doctors put on limbs before they apply the
casting tape.

Well in this case, she had done this to others, and the pain upon removal
(on a pretty hairless person, that is) was part of the scene. It's just
that when you add an allergic reaction, it becomes much more intense.
