This blog is 5 years old today. Happy birthday and hip-hip-hooray!
Since it started in 2010 there have been 1,626 posts (an average of 6.5 posts per week), and 3,703 comments. I don’t find the age particularly amazing, but the number of posts and comments does shock me. If I guestimate 30 minutes to write a post, and assume a 8 hour work day, that’s around 20 work weeks of nothing but blogging from 9-5. Or, doing the maths another way, at a glass of wine per post, that’s 271 bottles of Bordeaux.
I started it originally because the blog I wanted to read didn’t exist. I therefore thought I could write something to entertain myself and maybe others like me. I also thought I could impress lots of dominant women with my wit and wisdom, and thereby attract many offers of kinky shenanigans. I’d rate my success as therefore a ‘maybe’ and a ‘maybe not so much’.
I’ll probably write some more thoughts about the last 5 years in coming posts. In the meantime I’ll finish with the kind of imagery that makes me glad to keep doing it. This is by Zemekiss Photography and was shot at the 2015 Vancouver Fetish Weekend. I found it on the Happy BDSM tumblr (where you can see other shots from the sequence). Happy people doing kinky stuff is a wonderful thing.
Love the blog!! Found it about a year ago and look for it every day often times living my life a bit vicariously through you.
Thanks for all you do to make this work, and just figure there has to be a “strong” woman out there somewhere who appreciates your wit and wisdom.
I’d also say how much I appreciate the additional work you do maintaining the various pages of the blog. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come back to these pages to begin a search or look for information on a particular topic.
Good job or good work just doesn’t seem to say enough. WW
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it. I started off doing it for myself, but I would have stopped long ago if it wasn’t for feedback like this. Makes me happy to share stuff and point people in good directions.
