bumps n bruises
ok
so i have bruises from i don't know where
and though i thought last nite's show was "softer" that other shows i've done,
i guess in the end i was wrong. i am sore. and like the marks i had last week (mostly concentrated on the right side of my body), this time my left has taken brunt of the ropeburns. back n neck a bit worse for wear, but it'll fade.
funny how the soreness is more apparant after a nice cleansing and slightly stinging shower.
so many people last nite. not so many as in thousands of guests, but lots of LJ peeps, lots of chatting, even with peeps who i had met a long time ago! neat!

edited to add more ramblings:
YUM arbys!
so i got this message from a girl on myspace. she's in greece. she said that she thought the show i did in athens was awful. so i go check out her profile and see what she's into, etc. 21. marilyn manson, etc. (oh, she also commented on my bunny picture by stating that it was 'not art').
i figured i'd give her the benefit of the doubt and and responded without taking offence but asked why she felt that way. she replied that it was not "real". again i asked her to elaborate. she said that she thought i was faking. i think she thought that my submission was faked, therefore my pain. i told her that my submission was not faked - in fact, it was not there at all since i'm not a sub - and that the show in question was not an S/M scene but a bondage performance. as far as the pain goes, i told her she could try it out herself and determine those pain levels for herself. she also said that amrita didnt seem like she was a good mistress to my slave-ness (not her words), and the other 2 people on stage were blah (again, not her words).
this particular show had some audience members simply thrilled to pour wax on me and make me squirm. this particular show had 2 audience members come on stage to be rigged (chest harnesses) by amrita to add more interaction to the night rather than have a seriously dark and moody type of bondage scene.
in the end, the girl admitted to reading the article in Epsilon magazine that spoke about the "masochists of athens". it was from this story that she finalized her opinion.
it was the issue that had me and amrita on the cover. it did cover the arts and such, but the reported completely dropped the ball in neglecting to interview amrita and myself. she assumed and incorrectly reported about the "mistress/slave" show that she witnessed that evening at the underworld club. it almost irritates me, when people use my image in such a way to tell others about who and what i am (not). when i spoke to the promoter about it briefly (i believe he also supplied information to the reporter - most likely incorrect), he told me that it was pointless to give the reported the proper information since "vanilla" people will write whatever they want and it's no use to expect them to do things right.
this irritates me to no end. if you don't expect the best of people in such situations, then why should they want to excell or portray the "alt" scene in accurate manner. if you don't give them legitimate facts, then there's no way in hell that they're going to pass on the proper facts.
considering he says he's part of the alternative and fetish scene, he should know better. (this of course, was the same guy that said i was not really 'fetish' since i don't listen to 'fetish' music).
i really should write to the reporter. the article came out some time ago, but perhaps there's still time. this time next week i will be in Greece.
