In my frantic excitement, I also set up SM Feminist. If you're a feminist into BDSM and want to know more or contribute, drop me a line.
I aspire to be a consumptive late-Victorian vampish heroine with a 14 inch waist and questionable taste in hats, but unfortunately I'm also rather fond of cake, swearing like a sailor and doing all manner of terrible things. Truthfully, I suspect I'm probably a bit more like the syphillitic, gin-drinking whores even Jack the Ripper wouldn't have bothered with....
... or the gribbling auburn wild thing...
... but a girl can dream.
I write mostly friends-only entries, quite a lot about fetishism and BDSM, and sometimes about my involvement in the fetish scene. However, I understand that lots of people reading consider this too-much-information. To save any unsuspecting LJers a horrible surprise, here be a useful poll. You can let me know what you'd like to be able to read. See? Easy.
