Returning to the Ball

After almost 2 years away our trouple has returned to the Ball.  I know you've now had three posts in a row about the Ball, but it has been a big deal around our household the last couple of weeks.  So that means it is what is on our minds when we sit down to do things like blog.

So in case you don't know what the Ball is here is a quick rundown, if you already know skip this paragraph.   The Ball is Winnipeg's longest running and largest fetish event, I think it might also be the longest continuous one in Canada as well but I'm not sure.  Dress code is fetish wear, no fetish wear pay the gawkers surcharge an extra $40 on top of the ticket price.  I was heading out to keep tamale company while she smoked and I watched four guys at the door debate amongst themselves about paying the fee just to go in.  I'm not sure if they heading in our not in the end, but they were seriously considering it.

So we got there wandered around for a couple of minutes visiting with some friends both new and old.  One of the great things throughout the evening was watching how people who we knew had met at our place interacted and how their friendships had blossomed.    We browsed a few of the merchant tables but nothing was purchased, but it did generate a few fun ideas and hopefully some upcoming DIY projects.

In the dungeon things started off slow as they often do.  One couple went in and used the flogging post it was an old friend from tamile's childhood who had her back flogged into a lovely shade of red.  We waited till the Ball got a little busier and then I took tamile into the dungeon.  She loves a good audience the extra people really help to push her over the edge.  As you already readier birthday is in June and we had plans to celebrate.  I had put out the call to several Dom(me)s I know that it was her birthday and she was going to be available for spanks.

I'm not going to go into too much detail about the birthday spanks. tamile covered it well, what I will add is a short list if those who were able to lend a hand (pardon the pun). As she wrote her post I did ask her if she was able name those who had come out, she was close but missed a few.

• BabydollBBW 
• The Oberon
• Smokin_Stiletto
• naivara (it was her first time ever spanking someone and she was so cute and tentative at it)

There were a few others who had wanted to take part but as tamile pointed out we timed out.  The dungeon is a shared space and we have monopolized a piece of equipment for a little over an hour.  I’m honestly debating inviting a few people over to the house so we can give her a good working over the night before her birthday.

After we were finished and she was unclipped from the bench.  tamile could barely walk, so we got her into a chair and moved to the side to free up the bench.  A little bit of tlc and attention later and I was able to help guide her from the dungeon area and outside to smoke.  The wonderful thing about the dungeon is the feel that goes along with both the audience and other people using devices.  Directly in front of me was a lovely short woman in a cage being touch and felt by men and women like. I could tell she was having a great time.  I had hoped to get a feel for her myself but she was done by the time was able to get back by the dungeon.  Behind me four of sets of Dom(me) and subs were at work on other devices.  There is just something about knowing you are not alone.

The rest of the night was a mix of dancing, visiting, and hanging out with friends new and old.  tamile was in a wonderful mood and heard from several people how much they enjoyed watching.  naivara was having a bit of a rough time, it was her first real Ball. Thankfully a past playmate of hers and mine was on hand and wasn’t in the best head space either.  The two of them were able to entertain each other and spent the better part of an hour making out.

In the end it was a great night for all of us, and I for one look forward to getting more and more involved in our local community.
