What Goes On In Ms. Betty's World

I started a blog to reflect on what I've learned in my life and to reach out to others engaged in our curious about BDSM.

I talk about much more than kink, though. There are many sides to me and I tend to express them all. I write about whatever happens to be on my mind each day, from pet peeves to news stories to what's happening out there in the arts.

I started exploring the world of power exchange 14 years ago. While a Lady Dominant isn't all I am, I believe it influences the rest of what I am, just as the way the rest of what I am influences the type of Domme I am. So here I share all of me because I believe it is all relevant to what I do and how I do it.

I do talk in very frank terms at times about BDSM activities, dynamics, and other scene-related issues, but I talk about plenty of vanilla things, too.

Sit and stay awhile. I think you'll like it here.

When worlds colide

You know that feeling Harry Potter has in The Order of the Phoenix when Aunt Petunia is talking about dementors and Mrs. Figg turns out to be a close friend of Dumbledore's?

I think I know how he felt.

I read exactly two vanilla blogs. Only two. Imagine my surprise when I came home just now to find one of them posting an article on historic floggings.

Now I'd expect Abel and Haron, or The Spanking Blog, or maybe even good old Mitch at All Things Spanking to come across such a gem, but my chess blog? Somehow I didn't see that coming.

Anyway, for any of you interested in such things, you can find the story here.

That's very tempting, but I think I'll pass on reading it. The blog owner might get a shock if s/he decides to find out where all the hits are coming from!

Hugs,

Oh, good point, Hermione!

I changed the link now, so it goes directly to the article in the online edition of Edinburgh's Evening News.

Much better, I think.

That article is very much a "Spanking Writers" type of thing. But maybe they play chess too!

LOL I just love this!

Perhaps I should spank Haron as we were so slow off the mark on Spanking Writers...?!!!
