Happy August everyone

Ultimately, if this isn't what the internet is for, I think we're not using it correctly. Trust me on this one... stick with it...


Oh, and I think this is the second best name generator ever: Douchebag Name Generator. I say second best, because the drag queen name generator on facebook picked "Miss Diagnosed" for me and that was just too funny.

Contagion!

Blech. My PC got a virus over the weekend. A nasty little sassy thing too. And although my Anti-Virus found it, but I was pretty sure that it didn't clear it in time. So I spent a bit of time over the weekend trying to clear it off, fearing that as soon as I rebooted it would be a real test. And it was.

After the reboot, when I would login - it would immediately log me back out. Even in safe mode. T'was an annoying day of work to fix it. But I'm 95% sure it's cleared now, though I've been super busy lately and now I'm behind the 8-ball with work. Meh. It would've been 100x easier to fix if the M$ instructions for how to fix it weren't for XP SP1 (and my install disc was SP2) - so when the initial steps didn't work and I went to the second set, everything got more complicated. :-/

So fun posts and stories and recollections of chastity will have to wait a few more days...

Le Bel Age - temps du fumer

Thanks gents. The other day when I babbled about Pat Benatar's smoking video (and drew a blank) you guys linked to some screen caps at smokingcelebs.com and next thing I know it all comes rushing back. And yes, I found the vid too! Interestingly enough, most smoking fetishists probably would find this video not only disappointing, but very frustrating. In the entire length of it, there is just one exhale and one inhale (and no light up.) But personally I enjoyed it. For a few different reasons.

First, the simple facts:
A very natural exhale at 2:18
A very natural inhale at 4:28
There is also a cutaway just as she was about to take a drag at 3:11

But the biggest sign for me, is how natural she appears with the cigarette. First, she holds it very comfortably. Most non-smokers get bothered if smoke drifts into their face - Pat couldn't mind a bit. And not only does she hold it in the "classic" feminine style, but it's obvious that they paid attention to detail in the filming of it. The lighting, the setting - heck all the extras even smoke. They also must have paid good attention to things when they filmed it, since as the video goes along Pat's cigarette always and accurately decreases in length. That's often something over looked in movies, since I'm always noticing the cigarette I can tell when they cut from one person to another in a conversation and after they edit it all together the woman's cigarette gets longer and shorter back and forth over and over... it's almost comic how frequently that detail is overlooked. Heck, I've even seen movies where the cigarette goes from all white to cork filtered in one scene. But all the details in this video are well done, with perhaps the mediocre cutting on the inhales/exhales...

Above all though the most natural and telling moment for me that Pat was at least an occasional IRL smoker was a very subtle one. It's a simple ash flick moment from 2:50 to 2:56 in the video. While she's supposed to be singing, without missing a beat she notices her ash has grown long and very casually and naturally, flicks it off in mid song. Most non-smokers have to really pay extra attention to their mannerisms while smoking, since it's not second nature to them - but it sure looks casual to Pat.

Anyways, thanks for leading me to the video guys. I'm surprised that my fetishists eye remembered things that accurately after 20+ years! Maybe I didn't fry all my brain when I was at UF after all! :)



In other news, I should have an interesting chastity story to share sometime later this week or so - but til then you'll have to be happy with Pat ;)

Turtle Pr0n! And then...

Yes, you heard me right!
Who the hell films this stuff?

That's not all. Then there's the TG mayor of Silverton who gets in trouble for wearing too short a skirt. Oi!

I sit accused!

Advochasty has accused me of pilfering his personal motif of providing music to accompany his blog posts. Well, I never! Kinda...

But if I did, it'd be sexah. Because this blog oozes teh sexah.

And in my quest to find a good and proper sample of what I'd be posting, it'd probably be this one video after another by Pat Benatar. How insanely hot was 1980's "You Better Run"

My God... they just do not make female rock stars like her anymore. Sure we have the Lady Gaga's of the world (all body and attitude) or Brittany (all jail bait) and the myriad of hyper packaged girl bands (hey... I'm *NOT* complaining about the level of eye candy...) But Pat had it (has?) it all. The super tight bod. The pouting upper lip. The smokey eyes, with that look... that look which says "In spite of being a 95 pound pixie, I will absolutely kick your ass!" And those hot pants... Oh my dear lordy... those hot pants. Eeep!

Evidently, the hot pants were a big deal for Pat too. According to her wiki page, she felt "She was too technical on stage... one Halloween she didn't have time to get into her regular stage outfit, and went onstage still dolled up as the vampire she went to a party wearing... it lead to her first standing ovation. The crowds were always polite, but that night... they went crazy, it was the outfit and the makeup."

I have to admit, I was 11 when "Crimes of Passion" was released, and I was never the same. I think that my preferences for small chested dark haired women - who throw out a fake angry glare is entirely because of her. Yah, some guys were all Farrah or even Dolly Parton, not me. Not for one second. Like no other, Pat was able to get my heart to skip a beat. *sigh*

Practically the only "mainstream" fetish of mine that Pat didn't totally embody is that of the smoker. I recall that she did smoke in one of her later videos, though if my foggy memory serves me, she pretty much just held it. And for the life of me I can't find the video online - or remember the name of the song, which probably makes finding it all the tougher. Either way, it was one of those sexy black and white "so very French" cafe type settings with just her at the mic. If I recall she took just a few drags, but the editing didn't allow my young fetishist eyes to recall if she actually inhaled or exhaled. Either way, I always wondered... those lips of hers are the classic model's "smokers' mouth" but she was a real crooner and that usually means no smoking at all. Either way, I guess it's good to have a bit of curiosity and dreams, right?

And looking back at it - I see one advantage of getting older, I have lived long enough to see trends like spandex make coming back. :)

Slaving over a hot monitor

It sounds like some kinky fun doesn't it? And sometimes it actually is. Last week (shortly before my future in-laws showed up) I did some banners for a good friend, Ms. Troy Orleans.

I like to think that I'm actually starting to get the hang of banners. I've been doing graphic work for print & web design for so long, but it's only been in the last year that I've really started to do more and more banner work. It's an interesting challenge. Such a limited space (and so short height wise) - and each format (.jpg / .gif / flash) are all very different. Standard banners are 468 x 60 pixels... wait... was that a yawn? Anyway, I'm probably boring most of ya, but I just figured I'd share some of what's been going on.

In addition to that, we got some major painting work done with the in-laws (and some yard work too.) All in all, the house is really coming along. It's tough to take a day off though, and both the Ms. and I are getting a bit pooped from it all - but at least we're at a point now where we aren't embarrassed to have guests. Especially guests who are going to help out... though I would've preferred if the dog had not lent us a hand, or a paw rather. ;)

Daily Distraction #15 - APB

My APB of late haven't been as successful as the first. Item #3 - #2

But that doesn't mean I won't keep trying to turn you mostly fappers into an effective hottie identification system. So, suspect #4.


Thanks to Rubbermatt for ID'n Ms. Ava Martinez. The pictures are from "T3" magazine issue #58 April 2001 - for those who might want to track them down for future... study ;)

There are no strangers

One of my favorite remarks of all time is: "There are no strangers, only friends I haven't met yet."

Yesterday's lunch with Advochasty (aka. Client 9 1/2) was a great reminder of that. Sometimes the internet really is great about helping folks connect. Then again, sometimes it's nice to just meet a person IRL too :)

Turns out that sharebee.com sucks

Sorry folks. It appears that the site I've been using and recommending for hosting large video & zip files is pop up hell for folks.

I didn't know. I use Firefox with an add-on called "ad blocker plus" and well, it eliminates a great deal of that silly crap from web surfing (oh and about 99% of all ads - and any ones that you manually add.)

Anyways, I'm sorry that's been going. Please, if anything on this blog ever sends you to pop-up hell like that, let me know. I have gone through all July, June & May links (and anything linked to from them) but I'm not sure when I'll have time to clean up the older sharebee links, but if you spot one please send me the url. Thanks.

Here's a hot picture to make up for it. ;)

OT: Moon

Wow, what an interesting looking film. It's currently playing in limited release - official web site. And it looks like the real heir to 2001 - though my sis saw it and said was just "ok" :/



I guess just saying that makes me old ;)

Then again, the 40th anniversary of the lunar landing is coming in a week. If you want to re-experience "live" - checkout this site.
------------------
An HGTVAarkey side note, it appears that the ole landlord j0rk is going to send us a full refund of our deposit! Chalk one up for being fully prepared for someone trying to steal from us. Otherwise I might not have read up on the laws and contacted him too soon, and/or failed to take pictures of the apartment just so we could take him to court if we needed. Woot!

HGTVAarkey v.4

Makin' progress... at least my love can appreciate it now. I've been the one doing most of the work, so I can see the progress all along. Like Wed night up on the roof, snaking the line til the sun went down - but I got it cleared... woot! Want to see where it started - click here.

Oh and just a lil' reminder to folks, if you snake out the drain line for the washing machine, be sure to connect the drain line back into plumbing before starting up a large load. Oi! Whattamess that was - though it could've been a whole lot worse if our garage wasn't slanted like it is.

I like Trent, but Adam > Trent

If it's too obscure a subject line for ya...
That's just too bad :P

With my fetishist eyes

Yes, I see the world through them. And sure, this is a very pretty young nubile redheaded hottie. But what fascinates me is different than most. And I share it with you because of that.Did you notice her nails? I did. I wonder what the context of this picture was. It clearly looks like the nails are tips and not actual - though a perv can dream, can't he?

Then again, sometimes you just never know what you'll get.

They stole my script!

Well, they didn't really... but if I thought that I could get a script filmed, this might be close to what I'd have done.

Megan Fox as a high school cheerleader who gets possessed by a demon and starts seducing and killing. And, like she says in the preview, she isn't killing people, she's killing... boys.

Sure, it'll be cheesy as hell, and stupid. But she's yanking guy's pants down and saying things like "You want it?" and "We always share a bed when we have slumber parties" and "I need you hopeless..."And even w/o a snug corset, she's yummy to look at. I won't bother to see it in the theater - but you can be sure I'll sneak it my Netflix at some point!

Actually, I have to be totally honest. My story would be about a girl who is a college cheerleader who moonlights as a pro domme to pay her way through school, who get turned into a demon. So it really would have a whole different market. :P

Get & Do.Not.Get - Pt 1

FYI - This line of thinking has continued on long enough that I'm had to make it three parts. Now that it was all finished and online for a bit I'll flipped the order so folks reading the blog read 1 and then 2, and finally 3. So if you got confused about it - that's what's happened.

In the last week or so, I have had some good and thoughtful friends try to feed my fetish by sending me smoking pictures. And I appreciate being thought of. Really, I do. Two of them sent the pictures or link to the "Smoking Fetish" series at the darker sights and sounds blog, which is normally some great *FAP* stuff - though this week it has stayed (disappointingly) with a gay BJ opening shot. The thing that is funny about it, to me a smokey BJ shot isn't my idea of smoking fetish at all. And though I don't mind them - they aren't *IT*. Though, I have to say that though that a gay BJ is even less *IT* for me. See the thing is, every fetishist is a little different, even every smoking fetishist is a little different. And it seems that about 95% of the time, folks just do not get my fetish - at least the particulars of it.

When I get down to it, I have plenty of pictures. If there's some rare celeb citing or something, and you think I might not have heard, then please, by all means - pass it along. But when it comes to my fetish buttons, I really do have got plenty of button slamming pictures already. And well, the kinda snarky fact is, if you don't have the fetish - odds are really good that you don't quite get *IT*. At least not my specific fetish. Hey, it's ok, I very likely might not get your *IT*. My preferences are one of the reasons I did that specific babble last January about corsetry aesthetics.

There are plenty of fetishes I don't fully understand. And I'm sure there are things that I *THINK* are wow... I have to pass that along to someone, when the fact is the particular item that made me think of it might be a buzz kill for them.

The other day I saw a cute young woman who had not only a French manicure, but a French pedicure. Its the first time I ever noticed a French pedicure. I immediately thought - "Wow, I bet ya some of those foot fetish guys would be having a heart attack!" But I'm sure I'm a bit, or even completely, totally wrong for some. Heck, I know there are guys who prefer really stinky dirty feet.

I recall a conversation a few years ago that I had with a friend who was down on Miami Beach with his Mistress. My love and I went to have dinner with them. He told me that the night before his mistress had walked around the block barefooted and then made him lick them clean. I cringed. That's definitely not my thing. When I cringed he sat up a bit more... "That's gross right?" he said excitedly. "Yah, totally gross." I replied. He said "the fact that it's that gross to you makes it that much hotter to me."

To each their own, right? Heck, I know lots of foot fetishists, all are different. And some cute young ladies' French manicure might be a total turn off to him - heck... they looked clean! How lame! Right?

Anyways, I want to make this clear. It is 100% ok not to get my fetish. It seems very common that folks just do not, no matter how I try. I consider it rather simple, but then again it *is* mine.

Pictures of pretty women smoking cigarettes works for me - it may seem mundane, so everyday. But to me, every smoker and every cigarette is unique. Each subtle style nuance is all part of her dance, her way of communicating to the world who she is, and how she wants to be seen. And that's what gets me excited. Plus her mood will definitely affect the way she smokes. I'm sure everyone (even non-fetishists) can admit to seeing a woman who's smoking excitedly, nervously, seductively, even desperately. To me, it's all just a very distinct and personal experience.And I like when I get to see it that way - Bolly-Fashion.avi @ 90MB is available on any of these hosts: MU - DF - RS

I noticed that the other day a Domme on the Max forums started a thread about smoking fetishes and nothing of what she listed has any appeal for me. Though I have to admit, Down Low's reply sure echoes the kind of particular thinking that I have... even though he and I differ a bit, it's nice to be re-affirmed about how much of a kill some little subtleties can be to the fetish fun.

Get & Do.Not.Get - Pt 2

I was tempted to just call this a daily distraction, but it's a bit of a continuation of the Get & Do.Not.Get entry from the other day, and ultimately it's just more of chance to keep babbling about the specificity of my smoking fetish.

And while I consider it to be rather simple, I can babble on and on about how I like to witness an attractive woman smoking. I suspect there might be some who already see things that way here.

What's more though, is for a domme to smoke during a scene just because she wants to, that's about the pinnacle of hotness for me. It's a statement of her power, her choice, her lifestyle. And one of you kindly passed along a video that is exactly that. Something that I very much *GET*

It's a Lady Victoria Valente in "Session #3" - and it is one of the rare times when I see smoking portrayed in a FD scene that fits my fetish. It isn't about burning, or ashtray, or constantly blowing smoke in the face. She doesn't spit on him, and the ritual of smoking isn't done in some hyper-elaborate over the top manner. She just very manner of factly smokes while she's dominating a slave. It is really rather simple that way. The video is a bit "screamy" at times, and I'm definitely not into licking dirty boots, but this is still really hot. It is a 53MB .rm file, available on any of these hosts: MU - DF - RS

Find more about her at these links: Her site - victoriavalente.com and her clips4sale store. Note: She does do the ashtray and smoke in face stuff in some of her videos, in this one however it's not the "focus" of it. And that's a big part of why it's such a hot video for me.If she's going through an elaborate or unusual (or very staged looking way of smoking) it generally detracts from the act of smoking. Sure, I have a dozen sub-fetishes (more?) to the whole ceremony of it. Things like preferring all white cigarettes, dark lipstick, cigarette dangles, black gloves - or painted nails, talking exhales, etc... But all in all, I like to just see pretty women smoking, and most importantly, looking natural while smoking. I'm not into cigars, or pipes, or pot smoking (and yes, those are all distinct sub-fetish groups). I'm not into women who put their tongue on the filter, or put it into their naughty bits. I'm not into cloves, or being burnt, or even really exhales in the face. I'm not into the human ashtray stuff - though a slave holding the ashtray for his domme is kinda hot and symbolic. Hey, I'm fine if you think I'm a fetish snob, it just is what it is. Oh and I don't like when women hold it in their thumb and forefinger, and I'm not big on unfiltered, or cigarette holders even. But now I'm just getting persnickety.
------------------
In HGTV news, the tiles are set in now (grout will be happening later today) - it all went well and but was one heckuva learning experience.

However on a down note, we learned today that our old landlord is going to try to steal our deposit. Here's some pictures of the condition we left the apartment in - he's claiming we did $1500 in damage. Now that I've talked to a couple lawyer friends, it's time to write official letters and talk about small claims court.

How dishonest & greedy some people are simply amazes me. Sadly, every time I rented from an individual its been like this. From corporations I have always received 90% or more of my deposit back. A poopie on your head Kenneth.Unless you like that. In which case, no poopie for you!
