Kinky Wear: Over-the-Knee Socks Edition

I looooove over-the-knee socks. Yes, I said "socks..."

...Not "spanking." Although, if you mistook, no worries: I could very probably say the same thing about that... :D

Besides their obviously thought-provoking name, this item of kinky wear appeals to me on a number of levels.


One could compare them to thigh-high stockings (worth a-whole-nother post, on their own!) -- and yet, they are different.

There is something... I don't know... perhaps a little more innocent? Perhaps more along the lines of "cute" rather than "sexy," in over-the-knee socks? (Although, they can be quite sexy, too!) And while sexy is a good very thing, sometimes, "cute" is more what I am looking for...

Over-the-knee socks are quite versatile...!

Good for both the wintry cold of snowy months...

...and the summery heat of mid-July.

They are fantastically fashionable -- perfect for pairing with skirts, dresses, tunics...

...but can also stand quite well on their own...

They are lovely for a comfy, lazy day, perfect for lounging around the house...

... And yet equally as fitting for a night out on the town!

Depending on one's mood (or company), they can be quite demure...

...or eye-brow-raisingly bold and ostentatious!

They are perfect for outdoor sports!

They can be quite elegant... Simple, classic...

... or spice things up with a little flair!

All-in-all, Ladies and Gentlemen, over-the-knee socks have more to them than a suspiciously kinky name: they are a delightful addition to any kinky wardrobe in need of some definite spank-factor. =D

Even Good Girls Need Spankings

Ahh kinky merchandise... :D

Not only does my collection of implements and kinky outfits seem to be continually growing -- now the trend appears to have begun infiltrating my very wardrobe! (Thanks in large part to my lovely and very generous kinky friends :D)

I recently became the proud owner of my first pronouncedly kinky T-shirt:


:D :D It says I'm a good girl! :) Not only that, but it promises that even if I am a good girl, I don't have to worry about never getting spanked!

As you can see above, the s-word is very strategically high-lighted... and, closer in on the right, an illustration is included just in case the text needs a little more explanation...

Can you see her pink little bottom? And the mark is even stick-man hand-shaped! How cute is that?? :D

Now I just have to make sure I don't leave it unattended in the communal apartment laundry room... Or forget that I'm wearing it when I walk out the door!

Kinky Wear: Restraint Edition

Juliet:
'Tis almost morning,
I would have thee gone—
And yet no farther than a wan-ton's bird,
That lets it hop a little from his hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,
And with a silken thread
plucks it back again,
So loving-jealous of his liberty.

Romeo:
I would I were thy bird.

Juliet:
Sweet, so would I,
Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good night!
Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.

When I moved across the country to graduate school, I left behind a wonderful community of friends and family, both kinky and vanilla. In particular, as a part of a polyamorous BDSM family (a household, actually, of which I was a non-house member), I learned a great deal about myself, about the kinky lifestyle, about relationships, and about BDSM in general (and not to mention fit in quite a bit of spanking :D). I forged incredible relationships with people who will remain with me forever -- souls intertwined in our lives' journeys, whom I shall never forget, and with whom I will always remain closely tied.

But for now, I am away, on toward new adventures, and the experience of parting has never been easy for me to quantify. Both good and bad, happy and sad, but overall a beautiful new feeling of change and growth and forward-thinking along with lovely memories and experiences from a wonderful past.

Before I left, I did receive, quite to my surprise, a particularly luxurious and humbling parting gift:










This is a custom-made set of restraints, complete with my favorite color (purple), my favorite animal/mythical creature (dragon), and my name (Rayne). They are black leather, made with a soft lining and adjustable in size, along with the capability to fit into T-bar attachments for ease and versatility of bondage use.


I was blown away when I saw them : )

These would be much more than I would be able to afford from any maker for at least several years -- they are beautifully constructed by a master craftsman and will be with me through my lifestyle journeys forever : )

Thank you, my dear Professor, and while parting may be such sweet sorrow, I will always have you in my heart :D

Kinky Wear: "Spank Me" Edition

Remember CafePress and their custom-kinkyfiable Valentine's Day panties? :D

Well guess what!! I finally had the courage to custom-make my own pair of "Spank Me" panties, for use on particularly special occasions...

They have arrived, and I have since tried them out, of course, much to my own customer satisfaction : )


It takes a certain amount of chutzpah, I found out, to actually wriggle into a pair of these all-too-provocatively forward knickers before going to meet someone for the very reason, no less, of carrying out their proclamation... but all for the better, right?

I am very glad to have them, and highly recommend them to any spankee who may be willing to exhibit a small amount of daring adventurism! :D

Kinky Wear: Garter Edition

There's something so delightfully spank-tastic about some particular kinds of lingerie, wouldn't you agree? In today's closer look, we'll be zeroing in on one such lovely piece of kinky wear: the garter belt (and stockings), as modeled so nicely below...


I've always been a huge fan of garters and garter belts: the way they create such an enticing and convenient frame... :D *blush*

Such a fan, in fact, that it didn't even matter if my mother was with me on the day we were out shopping and I happened to stumble upon a Frederick's that was having a MAJOR sale... I didn't yet own any garter belts at the time and I wanted to so badly that I didn't care who saw me buying them! As it turned out, she didn't really seem to mind all that much... :D

Already within my possession at that point (unbeknownst to my shopping companion) were the thigh-high stockings I would need to complete the look, so without further ado I stocked up on a few choice garters to add to a growingly kinky collection of clothing... (non-clothing?) Remembering to vary color and style, such as the magenta one I found above, and the smokey blue below, rather than just buy out the whole place on the spot...

For some reason this type of lingerie always takes my mind back to the very first time that I ever saw the musical Caberet, at the ripe old age of 11... It was also the first time I'd ever seen anything quite like a garter belt and stockings on a lovely young woman, and I remember it affecting me even then...

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would actually be able to wear one myself, or look good doing so!... But in reality, they do a lot to compliment any type of figure :D That aforementioned framing action works surprisingly well... :D:D

Now that my kinky closet is swelling, I'm having trouble remembering just where I threw that last pair of bow-topped stockings or shockingly short plaid skirt... Letting vanilla friends into my room is becoming something of a spectacle -- I'm sure they must just think I'm a bit of a neat freak, zooming around the room in front of them yanking random articles of clothing out of sight... :D

I suppose this is just a precursor to when I start accumulating large stores of implements...

"What is... why do you have a crook-handled school cane propped in the corner? Next to --"

"The birch rod? Oh, those are just props for my sister's school play..." that I apparently forgot to throw a sheet over... "She asked me to hold on to them for her till the weekend... It's set in historical England and they just need them to be sitting in the background for authenticity..."

"The handcuffs, too? And did women wear bright pink garters back then?"

Turning a deep shade of red, "Uh..." :D Maybe I should start coming up with stories now, just to have a few filed away in case such situations do happen to pop up in the future... : )

Luck of the Irish :D

Well, I guess I'm not technically Irish... but apparently around this time of year, there's enough luck to go around, because I was lucky enough to have a wonderful time at my first spanking party! (AKA, to find myself over the knee of a very considerate and personable spanker :D)


As the party upheld a St. Patrick's Day theme, naturally, I wore green (wanting to be spanked, not pinched...) And while I wasn't brave
enough to don something as straightforward
and demanding as this (true as it may be):



I did want to be prepared just in case my jeans happened to come down (which they did) and leave me slightly more exposed, so I found these:


At this rate, I'm going to end up with a pair of panties for every holiday!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone, and I hope you find what you're looking for at the end of the rainbow :D

Happy Valentine's Day! wink, wink (-_^)

The above image, courtesy of MyFunCards, called out to me this Valentine's Day. :D Not only are we graced with the image of lovely frilly heartsy Valentine's panties, but "get behind me"?? Seriously? These are the moments when I question the vanilla-ness of some of the people who make these ads... :D

The idea of Valentine's panties led me to other web-domains, including one of my favorite sites: CafePress! :D The perfect place for finding/making/sending/buying/browsing Valentine's gifts! Not to mention, Valentine's Day just happens to be one of the loveliest holidays, and the one with the most perfect color scheme for a spanko's imagination... pinks... reds... ; )

And... it's always so much fun on CafePress to try out the custom-maker options and see what kinds of kinky things can be made... : )

Needless to say, I was quite happy when I found just such a customizing option on CafePress for Valentine's panties...! I've always wanted a pair like those pictured immediately below, just to make sure that if, unlike the ad above, I'm being too verbally subtle (which happens quite often), he may still get it in the end... :D

But why stop there?! With three cute styles, CafePress provided quite the Valentiney stimulation to my kinky imagination, including a pink and white "peace and love" theme:As well as one with a scholastic-type print and cute little hearts which cried out "Academia" to me... :D

If your creative kinky side has been awakened this Valentine's Day, please feel free to try it out yourself here, and if you would care to share a description of your creation (the style you chose and what you wrote), please do!!

A happy holiday to all, and to all happy spanking! :D

A Plethora of Skirts!

In much the same vein (or 'vain') as my previous kinky shopping trip, I have suddenly started being much more open to buying... well... short skirts :D

It used to be that every single skirt I owned (which wasn't many) reached my ankles. Then, I got my first *knee*-length skirt -- scandalous! :P Most of my skirts now are knee-length, mostly due to the fact that I am rather insecure about the rest of my legs... But, recently, shorter skirts have been catching my eye...


Not in the least because of my (also recently acquired) love of plaid:




(the straight-backed wooden hairbrush is just for length-reference, I swear... :D)






But also due to other attractions such as cute little belts:




(don't mind the wrinkles, I have yet to learn how to use an iron... :P)







And peace signs!! :D


*claps hands together excitedly!*


Of course, these features are all secondary to the fact that, being shorter than anything I would ever wear in public, they offer a rather enticing view (not featured here :D) for any potential spankers... :P **

**Please note, I'm not this raunchy in person, and actually am usually quite shy... so short skirts like this are quite new for me, and wearing one in the presence of kinky company is only slightly easier than downright asking for a spanking :D *blushes*

Kinky Shopping Trip!

Ooooh I love shopping! :D

I've never shopped for anything kinky, really... Maybe a pair of argyle knee-socks here and there... :D And then of course your typical small arsenal of lingerie... But no other suggestive clothing, shoes, or anything overly 'fetishized'... : )

Now, I have a pair of rather high, black heels, several different kinds of stockings and tights with lace and ribbons and ruffles (and argyle) and things! :D I have TWO little black dresses...

Why this sudden burst of money-spending?

Well, along with the tradition of firsts... I'm about to go to my first public event this weekend :D It's a first for the local area, so will be rather small (and thus less intimidating...?), and is in a private venue, so although it's 'public' to me, it's still private within the larger 'bdsm' community.

I'm a little nervous (ok, more than a little), not only because it will be my first time at one of these kinds of events, but also because it's not just spanking -- it's going to be including the much broader spectrum of bdsm, which is not completely my thing, but which I am open to experiencing. : ) I will probably be watching most of the time, and hopefully will have an interesting conversation with more than one or two people... perhaps I may even find myself over a lap or two... :D

Will definitely post after going, though, so no mysteries as to how it goes...!! : )

Argyle Fetish

Recently, as in, the past few months, I've found myself invariably and irresistibly attracted to anything of argyle or plaid design.

Shirts, sweaters...





(advertised as: "Turn on a Lumberjack...") :D








folders, pens, pencils...

socks...







(advertised as: "Over the Knee Socks") :D










phone cases, sunglass cases, computer cases...

backpacks...







(for going "back to school!")











belts, earrings...

shoes, boots, bags...







(sooooooo CUTE!)









sitting room walls and throw pillows...?






(overkill? :D)








And, I am in no doubt whatsoever, that this sudden addiction to all things plaid or argyle has everything to do with the following phenomenon:

I blame one fetish for turning me on to another. Ah well. Such is life. :)

At least I know that, should I ever feel the need to wear pants rather than a skirt for such an occasion, I'm covered in that area as well...
