| My pretty after-party marks <3 |
On December 7th, I attended a party I've been looking forward to all year, the SSNY Christmas/Anniversary party, which occurs on the first weekend in December.
Beth Eisley had been staying with us since before Thanksgiving, and
Malignus joined us on Thursday so the 4 of us could drive up to NYC the following day.
On Saturday, Malignus and I ventured out into the city to spend a few hours together doing romantic couple things. Despite clear instructions, I took too long poking about the house, and we left 2 hours later than planned. We still had a lovely time admiring the Christmas decorations and then enjoyed a slice of delicious NYC pizza before heading home to get ready for the party. I felt badly about my dawdling and sincerely promised him I'd stick to his schedule for the rest of the weekend.

In the hours before the party started, the house our group had rented was full of adorable girls getting pretty in all manner of ways. Beth did my hair, and Heather gave me the most adorable red sparkly bow to complete the look. I sipped a glass of wine and bounced from room to room, alternating between doing my makeup and exchanging gifts with the girls. Before I knew it, it was well past the time we were supposed to leave, and I scurried past Malignus to grab my bag.
In my rush, I failed to notice that he was gripping Jenny (the evil wooden spatula). I stopped to assure I had everything I wanted in the Owie Owl Pack and suddenly felt the searing sting of that awful implement on the back of my right leg, just above the knee. You can still make out the mark in the photo above. In a split second, my attention was on him. He reminded me of my promise to stay on track, and we were out the door a few moments later and in a cab with
YS and Beth.
Having been scolded, I was feeling rather small as we walked the two blocks down the street to the party. Malignus held my hand and didn't walk too fast so I could hobble along in my heels without falling. He smiled at me. "You look gorgeous," he assured me, and I felt like a good girl again. Finally we reached our destination and took the small elevator up to the party. The metal doors slid open, and there it was, all the goodness! We were greeted by Jules, Mike Tanner, and Miranda Marx, and my heart instantly lifted. There were lots of hugs, and my internal micro-bouncing began. We had the entire floor for the party, and it was full of Christmas and spankings and all of my favorite things!

This was an anniversary of sorts for me. Although I'd been to a couple of small private parties previously, one year ago was the first time I'd attended a more public party. It was also the first time I met a lot of people in the scene who I've since come to care for a great deal.
On that note, I entered the main room and immediately ran into a gentleman who was also the first person to spank me at the party a year ago. It was a great scene the first time, and I was more than happy to follow him into a play space and reconnect. I went over his lap and was instantly surprised by how firm his hand felt as it came down on my untouched bottom. I remembered having the same feeling the first time he spanked me, and I enjoyed everything about it. After warming me up OTK, he got up and directed me to lay over a cushion on the couch. He unbuckled his belt and slid it through the loops (zoms so hot). It was the same Italian belt he used the first time we played, and I knew I was in for a treat. I wasn't disappointed in the least!
After a lovely scene, we parted ways and I ran into
RainySpanker, who is lots of fun to play with. He's a lot bigger than me and had taken to lifting me in the air over his head all weekend (I pretended I was flying, shhhh), which made me feel delightfully physically vulnerable. He effortlessly tossed me over his lap and proceeded to give me a truly wonderful spanking, which was interspersed with good conversation and rubs that put me into an amazing headspace. After we were done, I sat in his lap and got some A+ cuddles, and then I floated back to the party.
YS and I typically don't play at these sort of events. It's mostly because we have a limited amount of time and want to spend it with others we don't usually have the opportunity to see. For some reason, though, we gravitated toward one another this time and it just felt right. We slipped into one of the more private rooms and embraced. He always feels like home to me. I'm never insecure with him, and in his arms I feel like the best form of me. Over his lap I went, and we spent the next few minutes enjoying each other. He knows just what I like :)
Next I spotted Malignus across the room and went to touch base with him. He introduced me to
YouKnowThis, who I promptly joined in a nearby space for a really fun scene. I always enjoy playing with new people. There's something really spontaneous about it, and it's a delightful way to get to know someone! He's very charismatic and immediately put me at ease. He guided me over his lap, flipped up the skirt of my red dress, and began spanking me firmly. He eventually handed me his phone so I could send a text to a friend of his, and I apparently missed a comma (oops!), so he stepped up the intensity a bit! It was all quite nice, and I returned to the party with a big smile on my face.
Smiley happy me promptly crossed paths with
TheCaringJoe, and I was struck by the sudden urge to be over this man's lap. He gives a seriously great handspanking that always leaves me wondering how a hand could sting so much! He's also been a great friend to me this year. He makes me feel safe while still a little intimidated, which is a nice combination. So we found ourselves a space to play, he sat down, and I promptly leaped over his lap! There were spanks and cuddles and great fun was had by all!
By this point, the party had been going on for a while, and I hadn't yet played with Uncle Richard! This would be remedied. You see, this party marked the one year anniversary of the day I finally met
Richard Windsor. I had a secret spanko crush on him for YEARS, and when I spotted him across the room one year ago, I psyched myself up, put a smile on my face, headed straight for him, and introduced myself. We proceeded to have a lengthy conversation that didn't culminate in a spanking that night, but it did plant the seeds for a solid friendship. The first time he spanked me was no more than a couple weeks later, and it was well worth the wait. Since then, he's been at all the parties I've attended, and we never miss out on playing together. He has been a highlight of my year. So, I clearly needed to find him. No sooner than I started to look, however, he appeared, and we headed off to find a space together. Ducking behind a curtain and into the little private area, he sat down on the couch and helped me over his lap. He positioned me so I was comfortable and my bottom was vulnerably resting over his knee.
Rich and I have had some really fantastic role play scenes together, a serious spanking that brought me to tears, and a few just-because-it's-fun spankings. This one would probably fall under the latter, but it also held a sense of importance that made it more meaningful than usual. He paid thorough attention to my bottom and even the backs of my thighs, a habit he picked up at some point in our friendship! Afterwards, I sat myself up in his lap and planted a kiss on his cheek, wishing him a "happy anniversary!" And it was. Inasmuch as he's claimed I've had a positive effect on him this last year, I can also say he's done the same for me. I always feel special when spending time with Rich.
Soon thereafter, an announcement was made that we should gather in the main area because Santa was about to make an appearance! Sure enough, he was there, AND he had a bag full of candy! Still my beating heart! Candy! Santa! Christmas! Spankings! I was so beside myself with glee that I didn't even notice it was
DrLectr under the Santa suit. :P
Along with the candy bag, Santa carried 2 lists, and he started to read off names from them, one by one. The girls on the Santa's list (the good girl list) got a nice spanking from Santa and a piece of candy. Much to the dismay of everyone in the room, Beth Eisley ended up on Santa's list! She proudly displayed her candy cane for all to see as striped sugary proof of her good girl status!

But there was a second list! Krampus's list! For the other kind of girls... and as Santa began looking over this particular list, Krampus himself appeared. Now
he was actually scary. Dressed from head to toe in full out Krampus-style, complete with a
really freaky looking mask and a bundle of switches, I was far too taken aback to realize it was
StrictDave underneath. In retrospect, of course it was StrictDave, and he pulled it off quite well. But if I was too overwhelmed with Christmasy glee to recognize Santa, you can be sure I was too overwhelmed with vaguely intimidated morbid curiosity to recognize Krampus.
Soon Santa called my name, and I couldn't wait to get my candy cane! But much to my surprise, I landed on Krampus' list! At this point, I would like to draw your attention to the list on the left. Notice anything fishy? YES! EXACTLY! THERE ARE GOOD GIRLS ON THAT LIST! It must have been rigged, and for a moment I wondered if Santa didn't have a pet bunny that Beth was holding hostage, but I didn't have long to think much more on it. Having been condemned, I made my way over to the demonic looking creature in the center of the room and bent over as instructed, placing my hands on a table. I felt my skirt lift and rest on my back and then heard the swish of the thin switches before they burst into a lot of ouch across my bottom. I don't recall exactly how many strokes he gave me, but it was pretty effin' incredible. I'm a sucker for being spanked in front of a crowd anyway, but this was just too much fun!
Girl after girl was called up and attended to by Santa or Krampus, and it was great fun to watch! And for anyone rightfully worried about my lack of candy, Beth gave me hers in the end. Cause of course she really is a good girl! <3
After this display of holiday tradition, the party began to wrap up. Thankfully, I was able to sneak off with
BradD for a quick OTK spanking that was as nice as ever. This man has really big hands and uses them quite effectively. He is always a pleasure to play with. After that, I floated off to find the rest of my group and ran into
TopJosh. He and I have been trying to play with one another since meeting at BBW last year, and for one reason or another, it just hasn't worked out. I simply couldn't accept that we'd missed the opportunity yet again, so we darted into a space and tried to make the most of a few minutes. Unfortunately, we were cut quite short, but it was enough to provide ample incentive to connect again in the future. Next time, I'm going to track him down early!
After the party, we went out for sandwiches and then headed back to the house. StrictDave brought out parts of his Krampus costume and eventually produced the switches he'd used. He had a bunch of them. They were thin and smooth and long, and I really wanted to feel them again. He tied them together with a red piece of yarn and made them into a really pretty birch! It looked authentic and scary, so obviously I was dying to try it. I'd never been birched before, and this was far too enticing an opportunity to pass up. He re-wet the switches, which had apparently been soaked already. I draped myself over the back of a chair and waited, focusing my thoughts where I wanted them. I was surprised to feel cool water being poured over my exposed skin and savored the sensation of expecting something to hurt a lot. It did hurt a lot, but it wasn't what I anticipated. The little rods hopped over my skin, leaving a trail of tiny stinging lines. It wasn't overwhelming. It was kind of fantastic, really. Of course my brain was marinating in a lake of endorphins, so I had some help!

When he finished, I was sure I'd be covered in pretty pink welts, and I was, but to my surprise there were tiny little droplets of blood that dotted the surface of them. To be clear, I'm absolutely not ok with just anybody making me bleed, but Dave and I have played to the point of drawing blood in the past, he's aware of my limits, and he's an incredibly skilled player who I trust in this capacity. He's also always made a point of making sure I'm emotionally sound after an intense scene and that my primary partners are ok with it too. So please understand that this was 100% consensual but not an open invitation to just anyone. And if I'm being honest here, the sight of the birch with red-tinged tips was pretty freakin' hot! He then cleaned me up and put on some bandaids, and by the next morning, I was completely healed and ready to go again. Apparently the cuts were very superficial. So! My first birching was certainly an enjoyable and interesting experience and made for a perfect ending to a fantastic day. I should've remembered to get pictures while the effects were still fresh, but I didn't get any until a day or so later. Even so, you can see the remnants of the birch's effects on my bottom (along with a few other marks acquired over the weekend that extend down my legs)!
Sometimes I really do marvel at all the fun I get to have. I'm a lucky girl and I know it :)
