I would have been a really BAD Victorian because nothing bugs me quite as much as
proper people, but if I lived in a society where EVERYBODY bought into that crap, I'd be in a lot of trouble. I suppose it is grounded in my issues with rules. Say it with me: RULES SCHMOOLS! But there is also a judgmentalism to it and judgmentalism bugs me even MORE than rules. And you know what ELSE bugs me more than rules?
POMP. It drives me CRAZY when people act better than everybody else and one of the things those pompous, judgmental people do is act
PROPER! Grrrrrrrr.
My mom used to drop the 'ladylike card' when I was cartwheeling in dresses or eating with my mouth open. I'm willing to bet to this day she doesn't see how the feminist “you need to make your own options, because there are no guarantees anyone will take care of you,” ran contrary. Did she want me to act like a lady or be an independent person? I didn't really see that the two were compatible.
No, if proper behavior didn't include baring my bottom before the relatives, I didn't want anything to do with it.
So in an effort to tempt the rest of you away from propriety, I am presenting the prisoners. You see, in the Tart Dungeon there is a
Posse of Prisoners for my Pleasure.
Parade of PrisonersAragorn was one of the original prisoners and he's been very helpful keeping the other prisoners in line because he's... you know... a MANLY man. He's been largely resistant on the lingerie training, and he is disinclines to dance like I like, but MAN can he use his sword!
Another early entrant is Captain Jack. He wins kudos for his ability to turn pretty much ANYTHING into a toy, if you know what I mean, and for having that 'look' in his eye that tells me he is one of very few people on the PLANET who thinks thoughts as naughty as mine.
Lucius runs my cabaret. He took to the Lingerie training like wildfire and actually has some skill as a choreographer, so when we have special guests to the dungeon, I lean on him a lot to organize the entertainment.
And then there is the new cast... (my friend Stacy is responsible for their attire.)
And our new special feature:
First we spend a little time getting really dirty...
Then we get clean again!!!!!
See, isn't this more fun that being proper?
