Gotta Whip It… Whip It Good! :P

Wednesday night was the Flogging 101 Workshop given by Contessa Alura.  During this workshop she introduced the attendees to the art of flogging.  She showed different types of floggers and explained the different effects of all of them.  She explained the different regions of the body where you can actually use the flogger safely.  Her demo model that night got a bit more then he bargained for since she used him as a human blackboard and marked the different areas on his back.  I hope for him that the lipstick she used for that washed away easily.  And lucky she didn’t use a permanent marker…lol

   After the theory we got into the practice.  She put some tape on chairs so we could practice hitting the target before trying it out on each other.  Once we seemed to hit the targets properly we started it out between ourselves.  But then it was the end.  Some of us were not bad others would need more practice.  One hour and a half was already gone.  Thanks Contessa for a wonderful workshop.

Saturday July 30th was the ALCC “Potluck In The Park”

Quite a few showed, lots of great chit chat goin on, and lotsa fab food! Smoked meat, 3 kinds of pasta salad, and some great items made by Jody that were of vegan and “carnivore” type!

A beautiful sunny day, not too hot or humid, great company, fab chit chat, what more could you ask for?  This is like a munch in the park! Forget munches in a restaurant! Come to these! Much more personal, and not as many worries about anyone nearby!
