Last week I was speaking with a friend of mine who had a problem with my blog. She told me: “I hate that you say we are mundane. Why do you do that?” The “we” she is referring to are the non BDSM/vanilla folks.
The weekend prior to seeing her, I met up with the sweet sub I talked about but this time we met up at the mall to do some panty shopping. I’ve never been one for sissifying my sub but somehow the thought of this broad-shouldered beau in a pair of pink, tight panties really stirs something within me! As we riffled thru the store’s baskets of clearance panties I was excited to watch him pick out underwear.
It was an interesting insight into guys who wear these types of things. I teased him that he picked out more girly undies than I would’ve worn! But I guess if you’re going wear women’s clothing why not go all the way. The funniest thing to me was when we were checking out the cashier just assumed that the underwear was for me as she handed me the receipt even though he had paid…if only she knew!
He was gentleman throughout our shopping spree as we whisked from store to store where he ended up buying a cute french maid outfit but did not find anything worthy at the adult store.
That is a typical weekend for me.
What’s interesting is that I have gotten this complainant before. Many people have a problem with my using of the word ‘Mundane.’
Let’s make this simple: I call you mundane because you are boring.
At least to me. But who gives a shit about my opinion of you?
It’s not meant in a derogatory way. In my mind a life that doesn’t involve some form of kinkiness seems quite frankly…unappealing. It is one of the few reasons why I also think we are not all meant to be put into such boxes. Some people are fine with routine and the “mundane” things that vanilla relationships have to offer. But, honestly this regime just doesn’t suit everyone and if we (non-vanilla) types were to be forced into such arrangements it would probably (and usually does) end badly.
For me, it doesn’t really affect me whether or not if people are accepting of my choices in my personal life. It’s refreshing that I find most kinksters feel the same. It’s the vanilla folks that seem to be getting their granny panties in a bunch. Which leads me to believe it is similar to the mentality of someone who is very concerned about how they feel about themselves.
Why are you focusing on what others think of you? This insecure behavior is unfortunate and I associate it as a sign of weakness (where’s your self-assuredness). Part of what defines my dominant personality and Mistress-ness is that I am confident in myself. I don’t give a flying fuck who thinks what of me or if I meet others’ standards.
I only answer to myself.
I only dance to the beat of my own drum.
So the question isn’t why do I think you’re mundane but more adequately: Why do you think you’re mundane?
Great post. Really made me think. Do you have an email? I am a lean, athletic, intelligent sub boy in D.C.

I love this post. I agree. I hate roller coasters….Not because they are not thrilling or dangerous or they make me scared, its because they do none of the above..Im along for the ride…I dont wanna ride, I want to take you on one….I want to be the one who makes the ride thrilling…I want my partner to be the operator of the roller coaster not the patron…..get in and get colorful…..dont watch the grass grow…make it grow
Dear Mistress L,
My name is Michelle Doellman and I am the assistant editor of a new lifestyle magazine. Last year, I was the associate publisher with The Printed Blog, the world's first print newspaper comprised of blogs and other online content. You can read about The Printed Blog at http://www.theprintedblog.com and at blog.theprintedblog.com. You can read additional coverage at the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/22/technology/start-ups/22blogpaper.html?_r=1) and at hundreds of other newspapers around the world.
We're using the principles we pioneered with The Printed Blog to start a new type of print magazine, and we are seeking high-quality, user- generated, online content for a mockup. During our initial quest for content, we came across From Mundane to Mistress and think it would be a perfect fit for the mock issue.
This mock-up will not be distributed to the general public; it may only be seen by potential advertisers and investors. We would love to use your content, with your permission of course, for this mock issue. You can get a sense of how the mock up will look by reviewing The Printed Blog at http://www.theprintedblog.com.
If you are interested, please send us an e-mail to michelle@printedmag.com, granting us permission to use your content. We are asking permission for the mock up issue only – if we begin to produce the magazine for public consumption, we will ask your permission again. Also, if you have a blog badge or logo, please send it to us and we will publish it with your content, along with your name and URL, and any other information (such as a company name) that you would like included with your photography or blog entry. If submitting photography, please send the highest quality images available. In return (if we use your work) we will send you three copies of the mock-up for your records. Please join us in creating a new lifestyle magazine made entirely of your voice and opinions. We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Michelle A. Doellman

Interesting post!
Why do i think i'm mundane? As a 24/7 slave, there are parts of my life that are mundane. Boring. But i love the routine and order, and that is part of my slavehood. Yes, Master and i have even gotten into mundane sex ruts before. Tie me up, fuck me, flog me, etc. To others this may sound wild, but it does get boring if it's just repeated over and over. Sometimes the routine is nice and comforting, but it would get old very, very fast.
I agree, it's a state of mind and a statement of one's self-opinion. One needs to be happy in one's own skin. Vanilla or not.
