Nice to know that boys can be Cinderella too :) <BR/><BR/>And I think it's a very good idea to embrace the martyrdom when it's fun for those involved, but just not to become a great big full-time misery. Hmmm, still haven't written a happy post though... Shall psyche myself up to it. Soon.<BR/><BR/>Joan of Arc :)Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14227493173788958565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874304429395300084.post-48215260106068641192008-04-29T12:24:00.000+01:002008-04-29T12:24:00.000+01:00I agree with both Ariel's posts and Hywel's comments. <BR/><BR/>Nothing wrong with mentioning bad stuff in life - as long as you do something about it, to prevent it happening again. (And this is from someone who was a grade A cinderella - so yes it affects male subs too!)<BR/><BR/>I do have a suggestion - instead of ignoring Ariel when she moans about something - the BDM should just gag her to keep her quiet then give her a spanking! :Dsvennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874304429395300084.post-27920569084262814392008-04-28T21:59:00.000+01:002008-04-28T21:59:00.000+01:00I don't think it's fair to count the falling-down-the-stairs post as Cinderella-esque. I thought it was an excellent example of Ariel/Amelia not taking herself too seriously. And more power to her!<BR/><BR/>God knows we've all suffered the crushing humiliation of such disasters and yeah, an "oh, poor me" post might have made it less readable. But as it was, I thought it humanized the subject, made her more real and approachable. Honestly, I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me.<BR/><BR/>Riiiiight. Clearly my brain is fried. Must be because today's outdoor shoot was cancelled (rain) and it's turned my entire world upside-down and made me self-destructive. Oh, poor me, pity me, rescue me...<BR/><BR/>What's wrong with relishing the role of martyr anyway? Don't we all want to be Joan of Arc?Niki Flynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00961774941922430139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874304429395300084.post-2187787821585145762008-04-28T02:01:00.000+01:002008-04-28T02:01:00.000+01:00Um, could it be that having the flu for weeks and losing your diary really are awful things to endure? And the one about the stairs was hilarious-- probably even to you in retrospect. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure your happy tales will be just as interesting, but your blog is great the way it is!Indianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11949593044223905786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874304429395300084.post-29026912575929057172008-04-27T23:10:00.000+01:002008-04-27T23:10:00.000+01:00Couldn't resist the last comment :-)<BR/><BR/>I have also noticed this tendency amongst bondage/sub models to widely broadcast the awful details of how terrible their life/boyfriend/journey/last shoot/etc is. Often in somewhat overblown terms.<BR/><BR/>The thing which has always irritated me is that they never seem to actually <B>DO</B> anything about it. So your boyfriend is a shit-bag? Dump him, already. Your car keeps breaking down? Get it serviced. You worked with a horrible drooling pervy photographer who tied you too tight and spanked you too hard... let me see, have you actually TOLD him so, or even decided that you won't work with him again? Hmmm, apparently not, you've just booked another shoot with him. Why would that be?<BR/><BR/>I think you do a pretty good job of keeping the lid on the Cinderella syndrome, Ariel. I wish I could say the same for all models ;-)Hywel Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06819710773457051752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874304429395300084.post-25390377072977009482008-04-27T23:05:00.000+01:002008-04-27T23:05:00.000+01:00Brrrrrr.
