  1. I suppose postmodernism never truly ended, but as many of the primary themes of the movement are still prevalent within our society. Some might argue that postmodernism is dead (Really the whole thing is absurd in general, how can something come after modern, if modern is the current time? Why not call it futurism? Then again, the play of words here is something they probably intentionally toyed with). I've heard terms like "metamodernism" and "pseudorealism," given our society's love for fake reality and bubble gum pop culture. George Saunders work comes to mind as far as literature, but given his affinity for Vonnegut, it is difficult not to simply label him as another postmodernist. David Foster Wallace is probably a better example, but I haven't had the chance, and frankly the desire, to read Infinite Jest. Despite that, I've always wondered if people living during a specific "era" or "movement" realize they are in fact a part of a cultural shift, or is it more of a retrospective thing? Did the Victorians call themselves Victorians or was that a term ascribed to them later? Are we currently in a movement that has yet to be labeled? I'll say that I teach middle school and leave it at that. It should explain why the essays that I critique aren't exactly filled with academic rigor. It is depressing to say that I don't generally get to explore my literary period of choice very often, if at all. I believe that I have had a single student even recognize the term. I am shocked that no Amish have ever visited the Fortress! Maybe we should make fund a research project on the topic. Maybe write a peer-reviewed journal entry on the sexuality of their society. I'm not exactly sure who would want to review it to be fair. I didn't mean to suggest that our society is tolerant of all sexuality, but rather far more open than it once stood. This past weekend is a stark reminder that we have a long way to go. The society you described seems like a natural progression, but it is a journey that will be arduous. There is still much that bars us from living in a world without judgement, and without getting too political or philosophical, it mostly revolves around ideologies and ignorance from both sides.
  2. Mistress Rey, I must say, it is a simply enlightening experience whenever I read once of your posts. I spend much of my time grading essays, and your writing is a refreshing break from it all. You certainly compose better paragraphs than my students (but frankly, that isn't surprising). I scheduled an appointment on the second weekend of July, and I'm tempted to switch one of the mistresses out for you, simply because I feel like the discourse would be elating. Regardless, this is a lovely analysis of the links between fashion and taboo. I actually just finished teaching a unit on the Middle Ages, and clothing and religion were two elements that we frequently discussed in class. Don't let the garb of the time fool you, text certainly suggest that even such sheltered and conservative cultures had their raunchy sides. Chaucer does a lovely job of giving some subtler views of society at the time. I wish I could comment more on the Victorian era but my specialty is Postmodernism in American Culture, and our society had already begun its downward descent into the debauchery that we all enjoy today. It is clear that you know quite a bit about this topic. While it seems expected, I had no idea that their idea of being risque was so subtle. It is amusing to think that they displayed their more primal urges via undergarments or piercing, things that couldn't be seen. They were clearly more symbolic in their rebellion their contemporary counterparts. The very concept of the meekest flash of flesh, such as a wrist or ankle being considered sultry is nearly unimaginable. They are just nonsexual objects at this point, but years ago, it could stir any man I suppose. Of course, we can still find examples of this behavior all over the world. Indeed, even communities in our own country (though they may not be mainstream) still hold this moral view point. Maybe we can pay a visit to an Amish community and see what their idea of being indecent might be. Maybe they flirt by coloring coding their socks. I personally still find the idea of being nude with someone to be an embarrassing, and intimate experience, whether it is the first time or millionth time. It has nothing to do with shame, but something about the inherit nature of being so exposed. That begs the question though, considering that counter culture is always finding a way to rebel against the status quo, what is the next step? The beatnick era started us on a path to the modern era, and now sexuality is something so blatant and boisterous that it is hard to avoid. How does it keep pushing the envelope? Entire styles of life that were once considered taboo are now quite common place and easily accepted in our society. Do we somehow continue to one up it? If so how? Or do we take a step back and reevaluate? Counter the extreme with regression and fight back by returning to a simpler time? Your game does have some lovely creative and historical aspects to it! Perhaps it is something to test out. Does the slow teasing and taunting amplify the desire or simply frustrate? Either result can be desirable depending on the mood.
  3. She has a line about golden showers in "When I Grow Up" I believe.
  4. I am typing this from my phone so I can't provide a link. Check out pretty much any Nine Inch Nails song. Discipline is a good example. They also tend to have very fetish fueled videos.
  5. Hah, I think I would need to learn how to dance first. Despite all of the EDM I listen to, my dancing is reminiscent of a wet fish suffering from seizures. I've been wondering if some of her backup dancers are guys. Sometimes (not every video) they just seem like formless bodies without faces.
  6. I am so happy he got knocked out. I hate when Silva pulls shit like that. He is boring to watch when he doesn't want to fight. He deserved it.
  7. So I may be double posting here but... What have you done to me!? I downloaded a bunch of Kyary's songs on my phone. I am driving around town blasting jpop, getting the oddest looks. I think my friends are getting ready to disown me. This is the catchiest happiest most disgusting music ever. How can you not smile when listening to this?
  8. Hey! If you do it right, they might not even be able to tell... outside of the strange way I would be walking. I've actually never tried spandex, so... I can't comment. I have no idea what to go as. My older brother wants to be a gladiator or a spartan. However, that is only because he wants to manwhore his body since he is all ripped and muscly and stuff. I keep telling him those aren't even relevant now days but he doesn't seem to care. My inner hipster wants me to do something weird (is there anything even considered weird at these things?) but my lack of talent wants me to find an easy way out. Hah.
  9. I think my brain just ruptured. It is like if my nightmares came in a cotton candy variation. Also, why is this so catchy? I have no idea what is going on.
  10. Of course I've played Tomb Raider! When the original came out though, it was 1996, so considering my age at the time... I wasn't very good at it. Sadly the series slowly declined. A new reimaging of Tomb Raider was released just this year. I hear it was pretty good actually. I did actually end up buying Comic Con tickets a week or so ago. I've been debating what to go as ever since. I was thinking Nightcrawler but then I'd have to wear spandex, and a tail! Not even sure how I would wear a tail...
  11. Oh snap, the guest forum finally updated? The game went well! Nerded out and loved it. The cake fart video is not in my bookmarks! >Implying I would bookmark porn! http://www.cakefarter.com/ I mean, a basic google search would of probably solved this problem too =p. And no, I would not eat the cake! Oh man, someone is confident in their abilities! I however, like getting my butt "whooped". I was totally wrong though. I was definitely able to sit the next day. I think I underestimated myself. That was pretty much the reply I was expecting though =p, privacy and clients and all that jazz. Totally understand. If you change your mind I play it all the time. Considering the money I sank into that dumb game... why do I even own surprise party fiddlesticks? I hate fiddlesticks! It is great to take chances! I'm certainly happy that I did. Did my nerd culture impact me? I'd have to say that it certainly introduced me to a lot of the stuff I am interested in. When I was a young tech savvy boy, (not too long ago actually) I stumbled upon a website that we shall just describe as an anonymous imageboard based on a similar Japanese website. I still spend way too much time on that website. Anyway that website definitely introduced me to a bunch of fetishes and made me realize that I was not alone. Back when I was fourteen (holy fuck, almost a decade ago) I thought I was the only person in the world that like such weird things. Thanks to that website I was introduced to new fetishes that I had never considered, both real (feet, corporal punishment) and impossible (giantess, vore). Now days when I enjoy my fiction I always take a liking to those dominate female characters. I saw The Man Of Steel last week and I was all about Faoro Ul. Hnghhh, such a badass. Forget Lois Lane. I don't want a girl I need to rescue. I want a girl that can kick my ass.
  12. Let me start by saying that I am at loss of words for what to type here. I figure that might have something to do with trying to make this review a little different than everything else we see on this board. Alas, I am not sure how well I will accomplish that. I'll keep the nitty gritty to myself (you gits have to go yourself if you want the experience), but I will say that if you care about privacy, this place is for you. Everything is super sleek, and there is no chance of seeing other clients while you are there. I had the great pleasure of seeing the pink room. It has a goddamn asteroid (atari game) wall. As a nerd, I absolutely loved this. Mistress Sunya and Mistress Koi had me guess the meaning of the number on the top right (or was it left?), and I nailed it. Hah, take that riddle, you have been thoroughly bested! Regardless, they made me feel very comfortable. For what it is worth, I am pretty much a newby at this stuff. I had a single ex who was into femdom so my experiences were limited. However, Mistress Koi and Mistress Sunya made me feel very comfortable. I'm not the kind of guy who is all about servitude and feeling subhuman (no matter how true that might be, and how much of a nasty nasty perv I am), and I feel like they picked up on that right away. It was interesting getting tied up and flogged while discussing the finer points of game of thrones or videogames. I felt like I could be friends with these two after I was done and I was upset I had to leave no matter how much I wanted to continue being an awkward nerd. Oh god, depressing myself. Moving on. The procedure is simple, safe, and the mistresses are professionals at the trade. A quick talk when they get in, and then you are set to go! At one point my hand went numb from the ropes being a little tight and they picked up on that right away when I gave my hand a wayward glance (don't fail me now you dumb limb!). They were quick to respond and make sure I was alright. Anyway, the two hours flew by. We did everything that I mentioned I enjoyed and then some of their suggestions since I commented on being open minded and wanting to try new things. All in all it was a great experience. I have been eyeing the facility for ages (live nearby), and I am glad I finally bit the bullet and did it. I'll certainly be back in the future. Oh! P.S. Mistress Sunya, did you actually want that link to the cake fart video? It is pretty funny. P.S.S. Mistress Koi! You kept mentioning league of legends. Do you play? I could always use more friends to game with.
  13. This gives "Kicking someone's ass" a whole new meaning. Hah.
  14. Oh man. I have to comment on this. I love your name. Vonnegut is amazing.
  15. My goodness. Here I was all calm and people start coming out of the woodwork to ruin my demeanor! At least the mistresses will have fun. I'm scared to imagine the future.
