A young 62 single female. Divorced a long time ago. Average everything for height/weight/proportions. i tend to be more serious than light hearted, yet people who offer me feedback, say i am one of the happier people they know. i've had D/s in my blood for a very, very long time. i never pursued it though. Now I wish to. i believe my tendency is to be a bottom or a submissive. Though i have been very self suf, i desire structure. i need someone to take care of. Someone to be responsible to. It would be especially nice to find not only a trainer, but also a peer mentor. i am fascinated by the Art of being an Odalisque.
i sense it is appropriate for me to respond to well thought out serious inquires. i do not sense it is appropriate for me to respond to "one-liners", etc. i have offered my photo for your review. Please offer me yours. You may be the Dominate or Master, i the submissive, .... courtesy and respect are still important to me. i will need to be with You doing things together outside the bedroom as well as in it. If You to not feel You can to that with me, i will sense that You are being disrespectful towards me.

i have been spending a lot of time on the Odalisque web sites and Yahoo groups. i have been searching and collecting Odalisque art work. Mostly from the Orientalist period. Some modern representations. i have decided to create my own collection and photo album of those artistic representations that stir my soul. Those that i have a guttural, core, physiological connection with at first sight. Some will be in an album above my bed's headboard. Some will be framed and displayed on my bedroom wall.
Other free time has been spent reading Dr Rob Rubel's book "Protocols: handbook for the female slave." Dr. Rob inscribed and autographed my copy at the SinSations event in February. It is very special for me. i am grateful for His conversations with me at the event.
My friend Sir C, has been slowly introducing me to the delights and pleasures of being in-service to Him and to His alpha submissive.
i continue to attend Munches. i find that my path is winding and twisting and curving and turning as i progress down this journey. i was speaking with a vanilla friend several days ago, describing my journey. He inquired "Are You Lost?" with a questioning voice. i confidently responded, "No, not at all, ... On The Contrary, I Am Not Lost, I Am Exploring."

This past Thursday, i attended the March West Suburban Munch. There were more than 20 welcoming friendly people there. i had a great time. This weekend, i attended the SinSations Leather Conference. There were close to 250 people there. i had a really good time at SinSations. i made a number of new friends, both local and from around the country. i found that, although i can be a spectator and value that experience. i can also "put myself out there" and find play partners, if i desire to. i attended eleven educational seminars/workshops that were very informative. Being new to the lifestyle, i sensed it was perfect for me. i watched, i learned, i played and i made connections for future relationships/play partners. A good time. Well worth the effort, for me.

So, i'm back home, reorganized, caught up on my sleep and with the mail. Billl's, darn bills, they just never stop arriving. I've had a lot of people notice the Odalisque thing in my profile. It's not that i am an Odalisque. i am not an Odalisque, however, the topic fascinates me. i went to a public play dungeon here in Chicago for and education program. It was nice. i need to join and volunteer my time to the Club. it's still cold here. Gotta find someplace to go for all winter next year. Two months way from this weather is not enough. Maybe i need to think about relocating in several months to a year. It sure would be nice to be in a stable relationship by then.

i returned home from my extended trip this past Tuesday. The bleak weather here has really gotten me down. i have been kind of depressed. To lift my spirits, i have done some on-line research. Delightfully, i found an intriguing treatise on the Code d' Odalisque. Thought i do have tenancies for BDSM, i am sensing that serving a Master/Owner, my Liege as more of an Odalisque, is what i would like my transformative training to be like. i find it appealing. At least in the conceptualization of the discipline. i am confident that at times i would be deserving of some BDSM principles and methodologies. i sense i am also drawn to the Code d' Odalisque.

It has been awhile since my last entry. Lots has happened. i went through a major medical procedure, that ended up being 12 hours long. The recovery has been a little more than i had anticipated. My girlfriend and i took a side trip to Prescott for a day. Another trip to Sedona for a day and spent part of a day in Payson. We have finally started our way back to Chicago. We stayed in Holbrook, AZ last night. We are in Tecumcari, NM tonight after making a side trip to Socorro, NM. Tomorrow we will drive through the Texas panhandle, all the way across Oklahoma and rest our heads in Eureka Springs, AR. We'll spend most of the day on Monday in E.S. and drive to Murhphysboro, IL for the night. i should be back in Chicago by Tuesday evening. What a great 7 weeks this has been.

i had a quiet and enjoyable day today. i slept late, after being awake multiple time during the night with acid reflux resulting from the Mexican dinner i had eaten.
i walked around the courthouse square in downtown Prescott. i spoke with several art gallery shop keepers. They were fun to talk with. Interesting to hear their stories.
i toured an art exhibit at the Prescott Fine Arts building. It was quite an eclectic combination of mediums and expressions. A small show, yet quite pleasant. All local artists of course.
i had dinner at a very nice American Jazz Grill. The wine was good, the owner sang lite jazz with a piano accompaniment. The pork coulette was great. A nice place.

i drove the (actor) Andy Devine Drive in Kingman, AZ. Ate at Bob's Route 66 Diner. Toured a Route 66 Museum and saw an 1850's two story settlement house. Kingman is trying to become known as an artist's gathering community. With modern galleries and frequent art festivals.
i toured Seilgman, AZ. It is supposedly the birth place of "The Mother Road," Route 66. Not much there. Numerous souvenir stores.
Tonight i am in Prescott, AZ. i haven't been here since 1994. It's a little bigger. Housing prices are a lot more. It too is an interesting mixture of people, cultures and lifestyles. They have over 300 days of sunshine per year. Nice !

Well, .... the class programs did not work out for me. i did not feel comfortable with the other participants and the faculty was not supportive. Yellow flags went up for me and i left. i just did not sense that the group or the faculty were receptive to people who are different.
Tonight, i am in Kingman, AZ. Driving across the high plains desert of California, Nevada and Arizona has been interesting. i see all these small hamlets of dwellings that are many hundreds of yards apart, yet, in a group. Or a single dwelling not near anything. i keep thinking about the isolation they must want to experience. How they are apart of their own sub culture society. i think about their fierce individuality. Or maybe it is dis-functionality. i think about how they are, in a way, responsible to no one. i would not like that. Yet, i suppose they are responsible to their enclave. i would like that.

i will probably not be available for the next few days. The schedule i will be on the classes run from 8 AM to 7 PM. Also the hotel i am at has very poor WIFI service.
The drive was great this morning. On the road at 7 AM going north through the Mojave desert. There was nothing there, yet there was lots to see. It was an interesting drive.

i had a very nice quiet day at home. i did some reading, uploaded pictures to my profile, and began learning how to use Windows 7 on a new laptop computer. Tonight i will reply to several Dom/Domme inquires, read more and watch another episode of The Training of "O" on kink.com. A good day. i am grateful. |

I have a nice time at The Citadel last night. I attended a 3 hour class on "Dungeons for Beginners." They spoke about terminology, etiquette, appropriate behavior and inappropriate behavior. Developing a good reputation or not. About the equipment. What to expect during a scene. A lot was said about safety issues. And they stressed the need for continuing education. Attending lots of free classes. For Tops and for bottoms. Attending classes for Tops, even if your a bottom and visa versa. It was interesting and informative. I am glad I attended. |

Guess what !!! .... I found out that an old girlfriend that I haven't seen in 4 years is now living in the Filmore district of S.F. WOW !!! How cool is that !!
I spent the morning shopping for a new outfit. This afternoon/evening I went into the City to the de Young Museum. My friend and I went on a two hour tour of the Egyptian King TUT exhibit. It is amazing all of the artifacts that have survived in tact for 3,500 years. Lots of them wood and paint. Naturally formed (not man made) glass created into bowls and vessels. Vessels, 3 feet tall, for oil and such carved out of stone. Cloisonne jewelry !! 3500 years ago!! WOW !! Good stuff. We shared a nice time. It was good to see her again. |

I had a wonderful day in the City. I went to a corset shop and purchased a waist cincher. A very nice Victorian Brocade: burgandy, gold, and browns. I cann't wait to see it on me.
I drove up and down Misson Street and Market Street multiple times. Just looking at shops and stores and where to park and where the better areas were and the less than great areas were.
I went to The Citadel. I attended a class on stretching before beginning a scene. Stretching so that a bottom can hold up better and last longer for their Top. Stretching so that a Top has more energy for their bottom. It was a fun class. I will be returning on Thursday evening for a Beginners Class on Dungeons. Should be fun as well. |

I am vacationing this week in the mid San Francicso peninsula. Bought some black legging today to go with my black ankle boots. Going to take a trip into the City tomorrow. I plan on stopping at Dark Garden Corset shop, hopefully the KINK.com office, find a kink store and spend the evening at The Citadel. Should be fun. |
