#charmed!

Now, if you were at Charmed! and visited the dungeon you already know this, but it occurred to me that I never really posted these for the general Tumblr population to see. So ...

We have 2 St. Andrew's Crosses:

These are not actually finished pictures, because I farmed out the upholstery to someone else , but they're close. Just imagine these with a black pad where the oval is and hard points on the upper cross pieces.

This one is a little folding spanking bench. It worked okay, but I will probably remake it this year to address some issues with tipping too easily.

This is a more robust spanking bench that knocks down instead of folding up. More stable, wider, and gives a good place for the head of the spankee.

This was just a fun idea that I had to try out, and it worked really well. The height of both center pieces is adjustable (note the holes on the sides every 2 inches), so it is technically quite possible to put two people in here at once.

And then, the most popular item at Charmed! this year, was ...

Yes, it's a freestanding doll box / display box. We had a motorized base in it so the doll could slowly rotate around, but it's also good without that because of the plexiglass sides. The inside is 25x25 and it's about 6-1/2 feet tall. The best trick? With a mallet it breaks down into four walls and a base for easy transport.

Y'know, I haven't done a hypnocon write-up in a long while, though I used to do full scene logs way back when. I'm not going to write anything long this time, but I feel the need to post something!

I think this was my seventh Charmed! convention, and going this year felt like going home. Every year I look forward to this con, and every year it proves worth looking forward to! No matter what personal problems try to stand in my way (this year it was a random case of hives that left me itchy all over...). I got to see my friends, hang out, and have a fantastic time! I went to a few classes, much less than in past years, but every one I went to was a fun time as we had such wonderful presenters! The Hypno-Cirque was quite the experience, and I'm tempted to figure out something to sing for it next year.

Over the course of the con, I got a surprising amount of compliments, usually on my outfit, especially when I dressed up Saturday night (and I was convinced to wear that again Sunday night for a room party). I'm really not used to that, and especially not used to people actively telling me I'm hot, so it was nice every time!

I did actually have a scene! I don't do as much pick-up play as I used to, though not for lack of effort, everyone's just always busy with one thing or another. The person I scened with was adorable, eager, and very susceptible, which made for a really fun time! And it was her first con, so I'm glad I could add to her enjoyment of it!
