Adventures in
(September 2002)
Continuing the great time I was having in the past couple of
months, I finally got the chance to venture southwest a bit to visit friends in
This trip allowed me to do several things at one; spend some very quality time with my “niece/nephew” Baby Richy, visit with Ms. Brook and her new subbie Angel, and fulfill a promise I had made to a good friend to speak to his BDSM group.
Baby Richy picked his Auntie up first thing Friday morning and we made the trek down to Brook’s. The drive was a great chance for us to talk and catch up on our respective lives. I also got the chance to learn a lot more about the world of Adult Babies. We got down there in early evening, and spent the remainder of the evening eating and visiting. Since I hadn’t been to bed yet that day, I retired fairly early, missing what I heard later was a neat little tyke’s fashion show, as Baby showed Brook the latest additions to his growing wardrobe. I guess the three of them stayed up until way into the next day!
Based on the time the others got to bed, I was really
surprised we got going as early and as well as we did the next morning. Brook and Angel gave us a good breakfast,
before hitting the road back to
Brook’s glow intensified as she supervised the three of us in the hotel preparing for the evening. With two CD’s and a Baby to watch over, her hands were definitely full. Angel is still learning what works for her and I was able to give her some ideas and advice. The good feelings I get from doing that just intensify as time goes on! It is so good to be able to be able to pay back some of the kindnesses others showed me in my beginning, by helping others now.
One of the main reasons for the trip, as I mentioned before,
was to talk to a local BDSM group down there, Springfield Masters and Slaves. The group’s leader, Jerry, is a real strong
supporter of us girl’s. I had met him,
his wife and another couple from the group at some of the
True to form, I used a couple of outfits for the evening. For dinner with some of the group’s members before the actual meeting, I dressed sort of conservatively in a new pleather outfit I had just gotten. After I great meal and some nice chat with a few of the group’s members, I went back to the room to change into my outfit for the evening.
I met Jerry in the meeting room and we visited a bit before the meeting. He then excused himself, saying he had a few things to do before the meeting began. When he came back in, he was dressed in his femme best! Jerry is not a regular “dresser”, but as I said is very supportive of us! As I came to realize later, he did this as his way of welcoming me and introducing my talk. With a start like that, the evening could only go one way……GREAT!!!!!!!
To make the evening even easier on me, all I had to do was look out in the audience to the first row. There was Angel, two other local TGs, and my “niece”, sitting there, all pretty and cute. It was a real treat to finally meet D’hana, who I had corresponded with a bit on-line and the other TG (please pardon me for forgetting her name). And for the occasion, Brook had dressed Baby in a new dress given to him by my friend Sissy.
The presentation went great (at least that is what my friends there tell me)! The group’s members were very receptive and asked some very good questions. The resulting discussion was awesome in my mind. There was one moment where I thought I was going to faint though. As part of my talk, I mention in somewhat a humorous way my work in regards to my dressing. One of the ladies in the group spoke up saying yes my employer would be a bit surprised at my interests. She went on to say she worked within the same company. Yikes! She spoke to me later and assured me all was well. But what a moment that was.
Another “special moment” for me that evening was talking with another of the group’s members who I had met before. I knew we had been in the same line of work, but I was almost knocked to the ground when we realized that he had been raised in the same part of the country as me and had later known my dad professionally Wow, this small world thing has got to stop!
The rest of the evening was spent visiting with folks and enjoying the scenes that transpired in the play space. As the evening progressed, I continued to answer questions, got to know my sisters there better, and re-enforce the support the girls already have from their friends there. It was also fun to exchange ideas on fashion and makeup with the GG’s there. I definitely made some new, special friends within that group.
And Ms. Brook made damn sure I lived up to my comment that we girls can be serious players in the scene! We had a marvelous time with those canes of hers! Oh! the sub-space of that scene really helped me after the excitement of preparing and giving the presentation.
It was real hard to pack up on Sunday morning for the drive back home. But, alas Baby and I did, and after a nice breakfast with Brook and Angel were off on the road again. I do want to thank Baby here for playing chauffer and making the trip so nice. It really helped, especially that night when I returned to work (Yuk!)
The weekend had been a good mixture of visiting, sharing and learning for me. As I come to grips with combining more of two personalities into one, experiences like this really re-enforce for me that doing so is the right thing to do. I truly feel more at peace with my male and femme sides now, than I ever have. My continuing inner growth amazes and surprises me sometimes, but is something I am cherishing more each day.
My special thanks to Jerry for me inviting to his group and to the members of the group for welcoming me so warmly. I WILL be back folks!
