CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT
Hi Y’all,
So I’ll going to start out by admitting this letter that I’m about to write didn’t start out with the theme of ‘change”. It actually started out with the title “What I’ve Been Missing” because by Day 3 of Virtual Naughty N’awlins, I was really missing the in person reality of seeing my Naughty friends. While I was getting them virtually: laughing, connecting, seeing their faces, making innuendo jokes and gestures, just to see their reactions. It was great and yet, I was still dwelling in the “missing”.
That’s when the magic started to happen. Picture this, it’s Superheroes & Villains Night, I don’t really have a costume but I throw on steel plated corset and do my best. Yeah, I look cute but am I really a Superhero? Please remember I’m dwelling in “missing” at this point, I feel more like a girl all dressed up for prom and going solo. Then my phone dings, it’s a text from Naughty J9, and she introduces me to her superhero character “The Flogger!” That’s when the magic occurs, I pulled out my mini key chain flogger and instantly become “Mini Whip” (pictured below), the sidekick to “The Flogger”. Side note, Naughty J9 gave me that flogger key chain for my birthday in June, some may call it serendipity I like to call it magic.
This night on Virtual Naughty was epic. The Flogger and Mini Whip hosted the most hilarious Interactive Hour: Scavenger Hunt, our Naughty guest’s turned on their cams and went on an all out search through their homes, some found the most ingenious solutions to “banana hammock” that we’ve ever seen. Literally, I’m still dying laughing over that one. I guess you had to be there, don’t worry we will be hosting another Virtual Naughty on Naughty Video Chat, it was just too good not to do it again. My night didn’t end there, I ended up dancing into the wee hours, as Illest Rich rocked my EDM loving heart in my very own private bedroom disco. I continued playing out my character of Mini Whip till the end. I had a blast being this super dorky made-up superhero, so I’ll definitely be wearing this costume again, and you can get a chance to meet Mini Whip in the future.
After that night, I changed my view point, I started looking for all the good things that were occurring in my life and I reflected on a mantra I have written in my room:
“Change is the Only Constant. Seek Comfort in the Change.”
Seek I did, I remembered the pure joy I get in just putting on make-up and dressing up. Let’s be honest, I could spike my hair up in a 6” mohawk and wear a steel corset to the grocery store but I’m probably not going to. My times where I get to play out my inner fantasies and create them in reality occur at my favorite sex positive events like Naughty N’awlins or Temptation Cruise (I’m already planning my costumes for the 2021 cruise). My other yearly magical sojourn is Burning Man (which was cancelled this year), there I get to live out my Mad Max post apocalyptic costume dreams. So I changed my view and thought “How blessed am that I have 4 nights of Virtual Naughty N’awlins to express myself?!?” Better yet, my friends are going to be there and they are going to get the same experience of seeing what I will be wearing tonight. Trust me, I got up on my chair and gave a few full length twirls for my webcam, I might have even shook my ass a time or two. I just love any reason to play dress-up, and I reflected on that feeling of love.
The magic just kept building as the nights went on and by Mardi Gras Night it came to a pinnacle for me, a surprise package arrived in the mail. Most of the time surprise in the mail are not a good things, this was not one of those times. I looked at the package and saw that the return label was from my friends company, Jungle Tribe. I opened the package and stood there for at least 2 minutes in complete shock and adoration because staring back at me was a gift, out of nowhere, the Ouroboros Snake Necklace. So I thought, “How blessed am I to have friends that design epic jewelry and choose to send me a gift because they know I’d love it?!? If you haven’t figured it out yet my “How blessed am I…?!?” question are rhetorical. We are all blessed and we all have magic occurring in our life, we just have to look for it and maybe change our perspective a bit.
What Was I Really Missing?
Sure, I couldn’t smack Cheeky’s ass when she flashed it on her cam. You definitely can’t bite an ass through the internet, although I think Pippy Rocks is grateful for that fact. You know what I did get, I got to see Cheeky’s ass and it’s been over 5 months since I’ve seen that beautiful sight. I got more than a show from Pippy Rocks’ performance outfit, or lack there of. Nudity as a performance outfit is something even we can’t give you at our in person events, luckily we’ve gone virtual. So thanks Naughty Video Chat for giving me a place to see my friends and show off my make-up and costuming skills.
Let’s be honest, I wasn’t missing anything! In actuality, I was being given another gift. A gift of new experience, connecting virtually with my friends in a Virtual Naughty playground. I saw some Naughty sites on a Safe & Secure internet platform with out worry of the internet police blocking my account. Best part, I got to take all things I’d seen on our Naughty Video Cams into my dreams every night. Let’s just say they were some very vivid and juicy dreams.
We are all living in uncertainty now, so I’m choosing to seek comfort in that change, to reflect on the place I’ll go (eventually), and continue living my life to the fullest. Just like you, I don’t know exactly where I’m going, especially right now.
I do know that I wish for y’a'll that,
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.
With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!"
Excerpt from Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Suess
We may travel there virtually or go explore someplace new. I know that there are always places to explore and ways to connect with your Framily. As The Rolling Stones said “You Can’t Always Get What you Want” but you’ll get what you need. As a side note and for another point of serendipity, I’m writing this article on July 15, 2020, exactly one year ago in 2019 I was seeing The Rolling Stone at the at the Superdome in New Orleans with Bob Hannaford, the owner of Naughty Events, and my pretend Naughty Events hubby, Louie. The connections I’ve made in this community have shaped my life, to the point where I have a “hubby” at every Naughty Event I go to. Now I have new memories with those two gentleman to reflect on and they came from Virtual Naughty. Louie as “The Flash’ on Superheroes & Villains Night sparked something in me, so we end our night just as Naughty as we always do. 😉
I’m leaving y’all with a little video I’d like to share that I hope it will inspire you to dream of the place you’ll go and add some whimsy into your day.

(Yes I said June, I forgot to put in my recommended reading last month. What can I say, it was my birthday and I may have been a little tipsy in Nola.)
Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships by Christopher Ryan & Cacilda Jetha (Read this if you’d like a little bit of behavioral science and history to explain why monogamy maybe a social construct, not human nature. This book was like preaching to the choir with me. I’ve been meaning to read it for years and I’m glad I did. I like that I can add some research behind my philosophical beliefs.)

My First Five Husbands...And the Ones Who Got Away: A Memoir by Rue McClanahan (Read this if you want to see how much life can change over the years. Also, who doesn’t love the Golden Girls?!? I was definitely a Blanche and reading about her real life was fascinating.)
