ORIGINAL: theRose4U I think that many of us would feel very differently about the BDSM lifestyle if it meant that you could go to your children's PTA meeting, the gas station or grocery store and see someone with a garden variety magazine (star, enquirer) that has pictures of you in full shibari breasts high with the tell tale black dot on them and a ball gag on the cover and a 2" headline reading Mama Beth all tied up. I know that celebrities aren't any different than the rest of us in wanting to avoid this at all cost. that's where you are wrong---do you think Paris Hilton is ashamed and in tears over her sex video being made public? not hardly. it spawned a level of notoriety and fame she couldn't have dreamed of previously. in spite of the fact that this slave would have to stand in line behind quite a few celebrities who could only HOPE that they could get that kind of publicity---this slave couldn't care less. this slave has been asked by countless photographers if they could photograph her, in thigh high leather boots, bustier, collar, led around by Master on the end of a leash and those pix have been posted on their websites--ever heard of the Folsom Street Fair? this slave's bank account and credibility with her unmentionables does not depend on "pop" culture's celebrity worship, nor the neighborhood's acceptance, so why should she even care? if this slave was a celebrity, then her family would totally understand and this slave wouldn't shed one tear, all the way to the bank. quote:
Beth by your logic it could track that by posting your opinions and picture on the net you've given up your right to privacy. "Well she put herself out there in the public eye, no one MADE her...so therefore it's ok to embarrass her in the grocery store, auto shop, PTA by putting her ideas out in a public forum she opened herself up to this." I'm pretty confident that you'd be humiliated (not in the fun way) and in tears. which just goes to show how little you really know this slave. this slave is not so stupid as to think that her thoughts, images and whatnot are NOT public fodder, once posted. Not only does she not attend PTA meetings(never have), Master has the groceries delivered, the Mercedes dealership(auto shop?) doesn't even HAVE those magazines in it's waiting room, and this slave's bank account couldn't care less if she is fodder for tabloids or not. Public opinion does not bring this slave to humiliated tears. quote:
I have more than a couple friends and aquaintences that cover all spectrums of noteriety...that I will never tell. Kink or otherwise they all have the right to a personal life. It's no one's business what happens behind closed doors. good for you and for them. however, this slave's relationship does not start and end at the bedroom door. in case you missed it, the story of Ms. Jolie's search for a dom was not something she personally shared with this slave in confidence. It was all over her website and the morning news, therefore, it was something she INTENDED for the public to be aware of. No-one photographed her behind her back enjoying a local dungeon and she had to put spin on it. when this slave has the occasion to entertain a "celebrity" she is sure to ask how they feel about being talked about in the public forum with regards to this lifestyle. quote:
My point is all people especially in this lifestyle value their privacy. Being famous, or rich, or poor, collared or not doesn't change that fundimental value. Opening the mind and learning when to keep the mouth shut can make for interesting times of the...if only I could tell variety. I mean how many people can say they've ever gagged anyone with an olympic medal. again, you are wrong. ask the "International Master/slave" if they earned their title and in the meantime helped people to take charge of their own happiness and their path in this life by remaining anonymous and keeping their lifestyle hidden from others in their family and society. while your intimation about being gagged by a gold medal-ist might be titillating to some, there are some, including this slave, who find gossip, names or no names, boring and immature. Who really cares if some celebrity or gold-medalists whips you or themselves into a frenzy?
