Final Shadowlane Thoughts

I went into the Shadowlane party with some strong pre-conceived perceptions of how it was going to be based on stuff I had heard: 
  • I was expecting this huge division between people and that there would be people I'd never even see as they were off at uber-secret parties that required code words and psychic super powers to know about.
  •  
  • I was expecting snotty attitudes and people to look down their noses at me.
  •  
  • I was expecting people in fancy fancy clothes and being all fru-fru and elitist.
  •  
  • I was expecting total naked spanking debauchery.

    What I actually found:

    • Really nice, friendly, and welcoming people.   
    •  
    • No pressure to do anything I didn't want to do.
    •  
    • No elitist or snobby attitudes.
    •  
    • More people knew of me than I'd have ever believed possible 
    •  
    • Everyone mingling with everyone else -- I did not notice anyone who thought they were better than anyone else.
    •  
    • People actually wanting to spank me.
    •  
    • People almost always had long conversations before even broaching the topic of spanking.  I enjoy feeling like a person first and so I really appreciated this.  First and foremost it's nice to make friends. 
    •  
    • Nice normal people getting spanked or doing the spanking.  It wasn't some sort of naked free-for- all-spank-orgy.

      I had a great time and I'm glad I went.

      Hey girl -- can I have a copy of this blog? I'd love to have something like this to show people when they start their whining about how Shadow Lane is clique-ridden and elitist. Sour grapes, I say!

      You put forth an effort, you networked, you showed up with a smiling face. Your good party started with you. :-)

      Erica: Of course you can. I had such fun! Sure I had my meltdown moments, but that is a me thing not anything to do with Shadowlane or the people there. Overall though, I think I did great and I'd do it again!
