Fet Ball: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

It certainly seems like I'm a bit behind here since I attended yet another play party last night and still haven't written about last week's Fet Ball! I'm pretty sure I was dropping all last week as I was just freakishly exhausted; I seem to have stabilized for the most part now. I didn't scene last night as the Goddess Maeve was visiting me in the form of cycles and rhythms; my spirit and soul wanted to desperately but my body wasn't having it. There's still tons to write about last night's party...but first, the Fet Ball if you please.

It exceeded my expectations and fell short of them at the same time. Ah, yes, there's that walking contradiction thing I'm so amazingly gifted at. All without trying folks--it just comes naturally to me.

The falling short stuff I will attribute to myself and my own shortcomings. I wanted my costume to be much sexier than I felt it turned out; it was lovely mind you, but not enough boobage was showing and my mother fucking wig was falling off all night long. Yes, laughter is not only allowed but also warranted in this case; please feel free to imbibe. Besides, it's damned good for the soul.

I wasn't a complete wreck. My makeup turned out well and I found some amazing fuck-me-boots that I could actually walk in. But still, next year there will be more boobage and if the wig comes along there's going to be major work and a ton of bobbypins to keep that fucker on.


My friend Danae looked fucktabulous. She went as a gypsy and even created several of the items herself. She was just yowza and then some. Another beauty, who I haven't mentioned here yet, was someone I will call Aine; she is dark, sexy, sensuous, and full of light and joy. I am really hoping to get to know her better; she is close to the Goddess, gifted as all get out, and I want to be just like her when I grow up!

The other area I was disappointed in was socially; I want to meet and make connections with other folks there but am so fucking shy. I tend to stick with those I know well and not drift too far away from them. I'm tempted to just put on my 'training' personae, the part of me that is 'on' and has to engage others in order to facilitate the learning process. I guess I worry about looking like a fool or something; I don't tend to worry about that while training folks--as long as they learn that's what is paramount to me, that means I've done my job.

So those were two main things that fell short of my expectations. I think the part that exceeded my expectations deserves a post of its own, so I'll be back with that later.
