A Valentine’s Two

I’ve often referred to Feb. 14th as the Pink Holiday for good reason.  It’s a day of love, of all emotions that are stronger while being soft – just like the color pink.

Did you know there are two origins of Valentine’s Day most widely accepted?

Two seems to be a theme of the day – Two Hearts, Two Lovers, Two Origins.  But Valentine’s Day shows how two can become one, building One Heart to make One LifeTime … Together.

Always remember: You will only ever be half of something that is perfect for you.

But don’t aim for the perfection.  Instead, be perfectly imperfect for each other.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Everyone.

Blessings to You and Yours,

Zorro Daddy

Ahh … some day.

On the day The 50 Shades books were reported about on NBC Nightly News, this website saw a one-day spike in traffic that has yet to be even remotely equaled since.

At first, I thought there was some sort of glitch in the WordPress stats feature.  But other less-than-vanilla websites were also reporting record visitations on that day.  So I knew something was up.

Three years later, I went to see the first 50 Shades movie in the theater – something I rarely do anymore … unless it is the latest Sylvester Stallone movie.  As I sat there watching it, I thought about the possibilities of where this all could lead.  And I will admit that my mind went right to The Zeke and Lily Saga. I saw it as a pipe dream, but still contemplated how to take all 10 books in the series (11 now, but at the time, there were only 10) and combine them into 3 or 4 movies.

To just see those words: Zeke & Lily on the screen would have been a thrill unparalleled and likely, never to be paralleled again.  But it might come at a grave cost.

Tell ya what … like me get back to the explanation of that grave cost in a minute.

Unlike a lot of folks, I liked the first movie.  It was extremely watered down, but at the same time, it was watered down enough to give the vanilla masses the ability to swallow it without choking.  When speaking with a friend about it, he disagreed with me – calling it an abomination of BDSM, going so far as to refer to the Shades stories as an abusive relationship and not a representation of BDSM at all.

He would continue on about it, saying how this showed BDSM in a horrible light and how it wasn’t fair to present it in mainstream with such an inaccurate depiction.

I respected his opinion, as he was entitled to have one.  But my reply to him was:

“Throughout the 90s, ABDL was bastardized on talk show after talk show after talk show – from Jerry Springer to Donahue to Montell Williams to Sally Jessy Raphael and so many others.  And not a single one of them took a serious approach to exploring the meaning of age play, instead opting to decorate their stages as a nursery and to allow their audience members to ask insulting and  demeaning questions with intention of poking fun at the subject – as opposed to learning about it and perhaps comprehending its meaning … none of which even once being corrected or redirected by the hosts.

So I understand your pain when I hear you speak of how 50 Shades has misrepresented BDSM.”

But he brought a good point to light, once again.  Everything comes with a cost … a grave cost.  And without the necessary monitoring to keep the subject objective (for lack of a less confusing way to put it), BDSM becomes a way to physically and mentally abuse people and get away with it … and ABDL becomes an organization of diaper freaks with Peter Pan Syndrome who avoid adult responsibilities.

Sounds ugly, doesn’t it? The four letters we have in common have never been given a fair chance in the public eye.  And because of this, we don’t smile fondly on more opportunities when they arise.  But as a community, we protect our own.  And we always will.

Perhaps there are situations when certain ABDLers go at each other.  Sometimes, this is a scuffle, figuratively speaking, between two members of the younger generations.  Sometimes, this is a battle between members of opposing events.  Sometimes, this is a poor exchange between two people who struggle with how to present their opinions. 

But regardless of our reasons for being human, another human condition is to dream.  And dream I do.

Who would have ever believed that we could come as far as we have already?  We have at least three hotel conventions, two of which that are now hotel takeover conventions.  We have massive house parties, regular events and gatherings, more munches and groups and websites than can be counted … and the ability to keep growing – on our terms.

Zeke & Lily – In Theaters Now.

Ahh … some day.

The 1-on-1 Podcast: Episode Five – Little Philly

How do you react to people who don’t see things the way you do?  Do you accept their opinions or do you attack them?

Or here’s a more interesting question:  How do you react when you meet someone who actually sees things the way you do but uses different words to convey their thoughts?  Do you try to insert your own words into the conversation or do you listen?

Having been around a few years now and having attended quite a few munches, conventions and other sorts of gatherings, I still marvel over how the closest friends I’ve made all were met at the very first thing I attended.

One of those friends is Little Philly.  He’s no stranger to any of us and most know him for his tireless work on TeddyCon.  But there’s a lot more to the guy than that.  And while we lightly reference TC in this episode on occasions, I spend the majority of the time digging into every other facet of what makes Little Philly a giant among insects.

As usual, Phil is humble – always trying to pass the attention and the glory onto someone else.  But in a 1-on-1 setting, I was able to keep the focus on him.  He’ll be the first to tell you he is no more entitled than anyone else to such attention. This is one of many reasons why he is and always will be one of my best friends.

There is a lot that people don’t know about him.  And that is what we talked about.

The topics of this episode included (but definitely were not limited to): ABDL Mission Impossible, the one thing Phil would choose over gummy bears, clover clamps, a more in-depth explanation of negotiations, the double-secret LittlePhilly 101 document, brand branding, the people of our community, cliques, balance in an ABDL relationship and the truth behind why there will always be two sides to a coin.

I hope you enjoy listening to episode five as much as we enjoyed recording it for you.

The 1-on-1 Podcast: Episode Four – ALot and a little

How do you react to people who don’t see things the way you do?  Do you accept their opinions or do you attack them?

If we all felt the exact same way about everything, we would be nothing but clones of each other … Stormtroopers (for Star Wars fans), the Borg (for Star Trek fans).  The vast majority of advancements we have made in human history have happened because certain people saw things differently than others.

And a lot of friendships and other acquaintances we have don’t actually begin because of things we have in common, but rather, the things we don’t – making each of us unique and that much more interesting.

If you thought episode three was a crazy ride, then get ready for episode four!  The (now) Resident Guest Antagonist PA_Daddy returns to keep the talk lively as DaddyHugsALot and BabyHugsALittle join this episode of the 1-on-1 Podcast to talk about the benefits and challenges of an age gap age play relationship.

But the topics of this tsunami-strong episode also included (but definitely were not limited to) origins that led to double-edged confessions, some rather graphic 3-D printer projects, log castles, the properties of Desitin, the definition of Dewquerey, the creation of a new fetish, kink engineering and of course, the never-ending debate over the one wonder of the world that will likely rip a whole in the space-time continuum … creamy peanut butter or chunky peanut butter?

But when we got into the deep discussion about age gaps, it was a very touching talk – filled with a lot of honesty and a lot of good advice.

And throughout the podcast, they were so kind as to put out a few public service announcements:

1. Shit can wait.
2. Please don’t give Saran Wrap to your dog.
3. Please do not forget your bills, instead running to New York for two weeks.

I hope you enjoy listening to episode four as much as we enjoyed recording it for you.

Forever Young

Ella is 29 and dreading her next birthday. Unmarried and with no prospects, she wonders what’s wrong with her.

Wandering into a bar, she meets a Gothic guy named Dante who makes a special deal with her that will enable her to stay “Forever Young”.

Jokingly agreeing to this deal, she doesn’t truly understanding what is about to happen to her.

With a simple finger snap, her world changes as she is carried away and retaught everything she thought she knew about herself.

Along the journey, she goes through states of mind that regress, humiliate, unravel and rebuild her.

But, in the end, did she reach that destination she was looking for?

Join Ella and Dante as they venture into a mysterious place … the mind of someone who has decided to break free from the shackles that hindered her.

Take from the ABDL romance:

Forever Young

Kindle – Nook – PDF Ebook – Smashwords – Kobo – Google

here is a little story about the first time and about the unforeseen dancing that accompanied it.

The Waltz of the Butterflies –

Going along for the ride, Ella was without any ability to shake from her little mind the fact that she had been denied entrance into that room.  And in a matter of a few seconds, it truly had become an obsession for her.  Dante took immediate notice to this struggle, her eyes once again being the windows to her soul.  But in a matter of a few second, she would be distracted in a way like never before.  And in a matter of a few minutes, her mind would be focusing on what she actually had – as opposed to what she thought she wanted … if not thought she needed.

Getting to the bottom step of the staircase, Dante turned and carried her into the front room – walking over to the front bay window and drawing the heavy rod-pocket curtain open fully.  But there was a second curtain behind it that he left closed.  It was made of a silk-like material, very-light and only semi-transparent – still allowing the brightness of day into the room but keeping the view into the room somewhat private to passers-by outside.

Initially, she thought nothing of this, but was about to understand the importance of that second curtain – finding instant gratitude for it.

How do you react to people who don’t see things the way you do?  Do you accept their opinions or do you attack them?

Or maybe you learn that the things you don’t have in common make clear the things you do.

Strap yourselves in for this one!  The third episode is a rollercoaster ride and that is no exaggeration.  Star_Platypus and Special Guest Antagonist PA_Daddy sat down with me and we put together a recording that makes fairly clear what a LLAMA munch in Lancaster, PA feels like.

With each episode, I try to add a little something different and this go-around, my job was easy.  Plat and PA are well-spoken individuals … even when they speak over top of each other.  But they are perfect examples of how two people can have differences of opinions on certain issues without losing the human trait of respect for each other.

The topics of this hurricane-proof episode included (but definitely were not limited to) origins that fostered self-discoveries, the known, the unknown, confessions, convictions, confections (when cookies were brought into it), what you just might find at a Papa John’s, calorie counts, vanilla frosting, alternate meanings for the acronym LLAMA, how to eat Chinese take-out like a boss,  Star Wars and who from Star Wars movies we would diaper or be diapered by, the post-apocalyptic, stamina at the half-way point, conventions, fetish festivals, gatherings, munches, what we favor and what we don’t.

The debate raged on about the truth behind the greatest conundrum in human history …  creamy peanut butter or chunky peanut butter?

And at the very end, Star_Platypus told a story about a mind-melting and personally gratifying experience he had at Camp Crucible … a story that had me speechless.

But I will say that it has convinced me to go to Crucible in 2019.

I am still in recovery from this one and will be for a little while.  LOL  But I am extremely grateful to Star_Platypus and PA_Daddy for bringing their points of view, their opinions, their unique differences and all the similarities that make us friends.

And as an added bonus, I made a quote list from the episode.  You can find it here.

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it for you.
