Following the Yellow Brick Road is not only one of the notable scenes from all of cinema history, but it’s one that speaks of an amazing journey. The illusion behind it is that if we follow this colorful road, our destination will be easy to get to and will yield us everything that we could’ve possibly hoped for … and more.
A lot of times we overthink things in life and while the Yellow Brick Road fills us with fantastic thoughts, it can sometimes be dumbed down and used as a tool to teach us not to dream.
Well … that just seems like a rotten way to look at something that was intended to enhance dreams and imagination. And how many times in our lives have we been discouraged about following after fairy tale endings.
The reality of it all may be that Fairy Tale Endings and Yellow Brick Roads are perfect examples of what we dream about. But it doesn’t mean that our journeys have to be anything less than fantastic. A lot of times in life, we set out in pursuit of something specific, only to find along the way, that our pursuit has changed. And we discover so much more of what we wanted that we wouldn’t have ever known we wanted … had we not taken the journey.
TeddyCon is coming soon … a lot sooner than you may realize. And thankfully, you won’t have to walk down any brick road to get there – regardless of what color the road is. But TeddyCon holds dreams and preserves the best in all of us – just waiting for that weekend to open the magical gates of an emerald city unknown.
And there’s a lot in store. As we draw near to TeddyCon, the details begin to become clear.
There are classes awaiting us. Oh, my, are there classes awaiting us.

DiaperedDad is both a DL and AB, who has been active with others since the early 70s. After attempting to establish contact during the 60s and finding no real “scene,” I began placing ads in 1971 in both underground and gay newspapers searching for people who shared my fetish and interests. I heard from many others who all told me, “I never thought I’d see an ad like yours ! I thought I might be the only person doing this.” I introduced everyone who wanted contact and a diaper family grew and grew, with telephone calls and eventual meetings. This was soon followed by smaller clubs, enterprises and publications (Lil’ Wrangler, Florence’s group, “Playpen” and a few others) and then in 1980 I encouraged Tommy to start a national (soon to become international) club and DPF was born, thanks to his hard work; as you know, this was the primary method of contact for many years until the computer revolutionized it all. Having been involved for so long, I am amazed and delighted to see so many folks enjoying what I discovered at age five and what has given me so much pleasure, plus has introduced me to so many wonderful people for the last sixty-five years. We do have an intersting history and I’m sure that others can share their history begining with their own involvement. I am particularly eager to talk to anyone who has information of activity before 1971.
