Age Appropriate....

We were in an office supply store yesterday, finishing up My purchases when danae and I both noticed a woman in a very short snug printed dress, hose, heels, the works.. She had her back to us and My double glance was more of a: "it's Sunday and is this her Sunday best??" While danae's thought process was: "that was not age appropriate.."

I take two steps as we're leaving the store before the explosions in My head go off:

"AGE APPROPRIATENESS????"

For a moment I thought I had instantly been transported into some twilight zone adventure ... but when My faculties returned, I asked her: "Age appropriateness??"

danae then quipped back with a solid, definitive "yeah, she should be dressing her age.." My mouth probably dropped down around My kneecaps ... because here is someone who clearly knows that I'm a clothing fetishist and so a display like that doesn't bother Me at all ... in fact, I can turn it into a multitude of different aspects of D/s and be happy as a clam ... but now I've just been wrestled to the ground by something that has never appeared before in My instruction manual.. (..."age appropriateness??")

As danae would go on to describe it for Me -- yes, it makes sense.. (paraphrasing) "If she wants to dress like that way and give her man a lap dance, then have it, but not when she's out in public.." *grumbles* Even if My girl is partly correct, the overriding principle remains of whether or not it's within MY right as Dominant to have danae dress in such a manner in public..

Bottom line: yeah, it's My right, but am I prepared for the repercussions of the decision I've made?? Good owners, Dominants, Masters and Mistresses work this into the equation because of what it's going to do to your property.. Case and point: take a sledgehammer to your brand new car - are you prepared for the repercussions of how the car is going to be after you strike it with your weighted mallet?? At least one would hope so..

So do I dent My property for the sake of My inner fetish or do I "do the right thing" and not subject her to the inner horror of dressing inappropriately?? That's where I wrestle - because I do have other outside considerations to ponder before I make that choice for danae ... but deep down, I don't want to damage My property and let her dress as she deems inappropriate..

In a way, I will lose out regardless of which way I decide because it'll either cause harm on danae's self-image or I'm now living My fetish through other "wanton sluts" in the world that don't see the harm in dressing the way they do.. I fully admit that this is politically incorrect, insensitive and maybe even unfair.. I guess that's why I love the gothic approach to "fuck it all to hell" because they put themselves out there for *themselves* not for the general population to approve of / disapprove of.. They do it because they like it, they do it because it's who they choose to be..

And I guess that's why it doesn't matter to Me if there's a 50 year old woman trying to become 30 years old again ... because if she wants to do that - then the world should just shut up and let her be.. The world won't shut up though because of the Barbie ideal and all the other assorted traps and pitfalls that women fall into.. Maybe this is a sign that we're getting older and our tastes will change - and that makes Me feel very depressed and bummed all of a sudden..

When the feet touch the ground running....

It's Saturday morning -- the pussy cats have been enjoying the monitor's warmth, I sip My coffee that I've missed so much and the universe is quiet.. My brain has been expired the past couple of days and yet it feels good to have so much that I've accomplished.. I've missed My girl something fierce and I'm sad I couldn't be here for her when the world seem to crash around her.. Like a trooper - she dug in and held on until I could come home..

I don't have any revealing - lifestyle thoughts to contribute as there simply has not been the time to wrap My mind around it..

The break I'm in will last for about 10 days before I gear up for the next major project.. It's at times like this that I wish I could clone Myself 2 or 3 times ... but I'm blessed with the work even though it's very heavy right now..

More updates and other tangents as they warrant..
