Perhaps Farewell
My life has changed and hopefully, I’ll be truly happy for a few more years.
So this blog has now been left in a state that anybody can read and not be embarrassed. Unless of course you are perhaps a supporter of Gordon Brown. And he needs those now!
I may post again. But I probably won’t!
Alison,
Fabulous lady what has happened? how are you and what has brought you to think of leaving your adoring fans?
I hope you have found true pleasure and that it is not something which is causing you great pain. I hope that you continue and wish you the very best wishes for life. Paul

Please don’t leave us. I enjoy reading about your wonderful life and would miss you terribly.
And, Gordon Brown should be calling the moving trucks.

I’m fine really! But life will take a different turn, and I’ll restrict my blogging in future to the nice things that grannies do!

It is always sad when writers of blogs choose to end their correspondence and I shall certainly miss reading your insightful posts. But having just closed down one of my blogs I can fully understand that times change and more exciting and fulfilling activities arrive to demand attention.
Best wishes for your granniedom.

Maria disappeared into the ether recently. I suppose it becomes difficult and boring to continuing writing about your life and your thoughts for years on end with the expectation of keeping it interesting to your readers.
The internet woke up a lot of fetish thoughts and even action in my life but alas it’s all become rather wooden and repetitious and not as exciting as it was in those early days when things were new and exciting.
I’m more into sailing and the arts these days which are real life experiences which seem to do something for my soul that the internet (and fetish/kink) doesn’t seem to.
Thanks Allison for all the good reads, the silly stories and erotica… find something for your soul and don’t worry about looking after your body and your fortune and the latest man.
Ciao!

Paul summed it up well for all of us. Your blog has given hope and encouragement to so many. Personally, you have had a rough ride lately, and I trust that you are not suffering physically or emotionally as a result. Our bodies ultimately pay a price for our grief and pain. I hope you have support and understanding on the next stage of your journey. Know that you have the thoughts of many riding with you – and hoping to hear from you again!
Bon voyage, Wondergal!

Dear Alison, I came across your musings in the LMU forum, and was very pleased to follow your exciting (and varied) thoughts and deeds in your blog here. I would have loved a chance to discuss your experiences with CB’s, but if it’s not to be, may I offer my very best wishes and wish you good luck! May I find a partner of such calibre of my very own.
Thanks, Matt (in Australia)

A wonderful blog. Insightful, honest, thought provoking and most importantly humorous.
I do wish you and your man all the very best with everything and raise a glass to your good health.

Alison,
The suddenness of your turnround is quite a shock – your blog was one of the places I visited regularly, and found it fascinating – and unique. With the loss of your blog and the http://www.chastitybelt.me web site recently, there has been a dramatic reduction in the amount of material on this topic.
Further, the fact that you’ve removed all the “interesting” stuff is nothing short of a tragedy – and rubbing salt in the wound is the fact that your former postings come up a lot in Google searches, only to give “Page not found”, of course. It’s a shame we didn’t get any notice so we could have one last look before it all went.
Whatever has happened to cause such a dramatic turn-round (you haven’t even told us what that was!) I wish you a very happy future.
And if you should decide to return to your former ways, you can be assured of a very appreciative audience for your exploits!
Au revoir

Alison, Fabulous lady a Grandmotheralready how wonderful, I am so pleased you ahev the happiness and joy you seem to be having, we all miss your adventures and your true life feelings, I wish you many more years of happiness!, One thing grandmothers do is to show their grand children lots of things which will bring them pleasure in later life, i hope you show them that the best way to get attention is tight lacing and corsets is the best way to a mans heart (only if your grand children are girls)
best wishes from agreat admirer Paul x

I’m so sorry to see you stop blogging…to me it was especially difficult as I was working through several years of your blog as I had only found it recently. So I really feel lost…as I hadnt read your more recent material and dont have a clue as to what occurred in your life. I trust that all is well. If you find it in you to help us understand, I’m sure your many readers would feel relieved. We have been very intimate followers of the workings of your mind and social life and personal thought, both fetish, business and other. I wish you well.

Maintaining a blog is a difficult thing. Many are expressions of vanity, driven by the desire to express and share some or even many aspects of a personality or a world view. They can take enormous effort and are only sustained by the need for vanity, self expression and the positive support and encouragement from anonymous readers. For many they have no other outlet for the types of things they put on their blog. For professional writers it is often topics they can’t or don’t write about professionally, or perhaps an amplification or clarification of their publicly stated views. The comments often serve to connect these writers with the public.
The entire fetish genre has greatly benefited from the web. On the one hand it provided a marketplace for gear which allowed more people to exercise their fantasies aside from reading novels. But fetish based fantasy prose proliferated online, some of it alleged to be not fiction but fact, most of which was completely unverifiable as such because the authors still required anonymity for multiple reasons ranging from personal security, to freedom from real life harassment, to feel of being ostracized in the community, having work or family problems and so on. Most are completely valid reasons to not “come out”, whether the blog is fiction, fact or a mixture. Fetish bloggers still have a scarlet letter attached to their lives one “exposed.”
Of course many fans would be free to support these bloggers, who themselves might be in the closet for the very same reasons. But more and more people are actually enacting the fantasy roles we read about in fetiish depcited online. We have people who are in CB belts in varying amounts of “intensity” duration etc. We have people in Dom sub relationships, some who have slaves, live as slaves and actually have come out of the closet on some level. We still don’t see too much over fetish displays on Main Street, but more and more people are adopting “fetish” as a fashion making the look more palatable to the main.
But this success, which many in fact consider it success, is killing the goose that laid the golden egg. What was riaque is not normal. and this means that fantasy to have the same currency and impact need to be more extreme.
While the move to more extreme and intense is a normal progression in most endeavors, in fetish this means always being an outlier to the mainstream and this may prevent some from going there. It also may mean that what was once a dangerous thrill has become largely mundane and feel like an unpleasant addiction, a constant burden and time to move one’s attention to something else.
They say there is a 7 year itch as far as marriage is concerned and this may be largely due to the way a relationship between individuals unfolds. It passes through all the stages and many simply need to repeat, but require a new partner all over again. Blogs are like that. People get all sorts of thrills from various aspects of their blog and often once they have explored a topic of interest thoroughly, the blog has served its purpose and it becomes more of a burden than a joy.
Maria’s diary was an example of a character, real or fictional or both who was driven to the extreme of what she was into. She was introspective and understood well the dynamics of her fetish desires and those of he counterparts. She faced simply telling the same story again and again, or ramping things up, or just fading away. I think she tried variations on again and again concept, choosing some aspect of the overarching theme to turn her focus on and making that an extended diary entry. She was even able to revisit an episode and focus and a different aspect of the kink involved. It made for interesting reading. Having ramped up the play to pretty extreme in her genre, added visuals and used the revisit with a different aspect idea in the end she decided to end the blog. Her claim was that there was a breach into her real life, which could be true, although it seemed that she was pretty out in that in her business and that of her husband. Aside from publishing her blog in the local newspaper it seemed that much of what she was about was publicly known.
Of course in public we are anonymous unless we are a “famous person”. Many fetish people have proved that they can get decks out and go to town (a larger one of course) and pass without recognition and usually without being bothered, but also being noticed. Maria and Allison seemed to have played with this, but if these characters are accurate it is possible that a reader could run into them and that might become a problem for any number of reasons.
Most of the fetish personalities on the web fade away from whence they came or come out in a more public way – become “famous” and recognizable at least within the growing fetish community. LatexLadyII is one example of an enigma which keeps on going. She is someone who claims to be extreme in her fetish activities and have a very recognizable public presence in Ireland , Texas and Ca, yet no one from the online fetish community has interacted with her out there and off the web. Nor has anyone seen her walking through the mall or the airport in her rubber burqa. This of course has led many in the community to declare that “she” is a fantasy and might very well be a he and a the entire blog spanning years an elaborate ruse. Like the other fetish blogs, it contains all sorts of real life references which lend authenticity, but which can easily be faked, as in mention who makes her outfits.
Obviously many readers don’t care whether it’s fact or fiction because it’s a fantasy that they want to believe and the blog was created by a real mind which resonates with their own fantasies.
There will always be someone to fill their high heels.

That is an interesting comment about latexlady. I remember reading one of her posts and thinking it was absolutely proposterous. To live for an entire year in latex, dressed by another, simply not possible. Imagine the weight loss due to sweating and how tiresome it would be for the other to be toileting an adult simply to pay homage to their fetish.
I find that I cannot be bothered to read blogs that strike me as unreal although I will continue to read a blog I suspect to be written by a man and not a woman if it is done in a way that appeals to me.
Alison,
I’m routing for the English in the ashes, lets hope they can contain the aussies. The Oval match always brings back memories for me when I see the gas cylinder in the background. Glad to hear that you are having fun.
