The first Sunday of this month saw this puppy attending two events, and having a fantastic time at both… but it was the last time I’ll be attending one of them in it’s current format – but more on that later.

The first event I attended was the London Alternative Market (LAM), which is an event that I don’t often get the chance to attend for various reasons… however, this month I made a special effort as the theme of one of the talks was on Pet Play. Additionally, there was also a “Best Dressed Pet” competition, which was also part of the reason for turning up.

Due to tube engineering works, and not feeling particularly well, we took the opportunity to travel in to London from our local National Rail station rather than driving, which meant it was a more relaxed journey in. Had I been feeling well, this would have been an opportunity to travel in Lycra but as it was, it didn’t present the opportunity. We made our way to the LAM, and after arriving the format of the competition was explained – you had to collect vouchers from the other visitors and the one with the most won the competition – but we had limited time, because voting for collecting the vouchers closed about 45 minutes after we arrived!

To maximise collection opportunities, I went straight off to get changed in to full puppy mode then came back out and started wandering around. Very quickly, I started to collect the odd vote and by the time I moved back towards the entrance, I decided it might be better to wait (and beg?) there. *wags*

I continued to collect more votes, and towards the end of voting time, there was a parade of the pets around the venue, and an opportunity to collect last minute votes, at which I managed to collect a few more… We moved to just outside The Dog’s Bolloxx stand where the count was to take place, along with the announcement of the prizes. First prize went to a latex cat with 76 votes… and second place went to….. me 🙂 *wags tail rapidly* with 30 votes. Ironically, on arrival, and seeing the prizes I’d wanted 2nd place anyway, as the prize was blue 🙂

After having a quick break to cool down, and a chance to actually look at the stalls with my hood off, it was time to go to the Pet Play demonstration, given by Leo from The Dog’s Bolloxx, which was quite interesting and a good introduction to Pet Play for those that haven’t experienced it and want to, or who are intrigued as to what it is. After this, we had to make a quick exit as we were meeting PupGizmo for dinner before going on to Heros. I changed back to domestic clothes, although I did put on my prize of my new blue collar 😀

This was to be the last time I’d ever be attending Heros on it’s regular Sunday night because as of May, the event will now be held on the First Saturday of the Month at the same times. Please follow @clubHeros for more information and updates on the event.

This was a pleasant night catching up with Gizmo, Scamp and Mark and others that were there, and a good chance to relax and unwind. I did debate going home still changed, but decided against it just in case I ran in to someone…

It was a fantastic Sunday out, and below are a couple of pictures of me at the LAM by Scratch and Co.

My owner and I were invited to attended Subversion on Friday 7th June along with Scamp & Mark, Scamp’s Owner – Rexpup and Sam. We’d never been before, so after rearranging some plans, we agreed that we would go along. As we got closer to the event, however, we had to change plans again as we had an early start at work on the Saturday morning which meant we’d now have to leave early.

The evening started off with me meeting my owner at Victoria Station so we could get some food (Subversion starts at 10pm) and then walk to Scamp’s hotel. After the food, as we walked towards Vauxhall, a group of people walking the other way said to me “My dog’s walked all over your t-shirt” as I’d had my dog collar and paw print t-shirt on.

We changed at Scamp’s hotel, met up with the others, and started wandering to the venue. We called in at a shop to get buttons on the way, and then carried on to the venue.

After changing in the venue, we checked our bags in and had a wander round… Dance floor and dungeon area seemed to be the only bits we saw, preferring the dungeon area as you can actually hear in there and the bar was quieter!

After a short while after my first drink, I dropped down to all-4’s to be a pup, and there I stayed, just soaking up the atmosphere and being a good docile well behaved puppy. Broken only by the various head scritches and pats on the back.

At one point I got chatting to a group of people from the L.A.M., who told us that there next demo is on animal play, (pups / ponies etc) but I get a niggling feeling I’ll be working during the day of the L.A.M. in July 🙁 … but I’ll see what I can do, as it’s be great to attend 🙂 *wags*

As the night went on we moved round the dungeon area a bit as one of our group was being tormented on the cross.

Earlier in the night we watched Sam being suspended in rope bondage, and I decided I would like to try it out, so later on I asked the person if I could… He said yes, so I was duly tied up and hung by some ropes 🙂 I was very well behaved though *wags*. I’ve done suspension bondage before, but using the leather mitts or ankle cuffs, which is fun and experiences of this can be found elsewhere on the blog. The rope suspension was somewhat different though – due to the nature that you can spread the weight out across various locations of the body means you’d not limited to ‘one hanging position’. In the rope I was suspended face down with my arms behind my back. I felt totally calm and relaxed as I knew I was in safe hands. This is definitely an experience that I’d like to try again 🙂 After a short while – I started to feel the weight on my chest, and so it was time to come back to ground level.

Shortly after the suspension, it was time to go – I had hoped to leave the venue in full pup gear, but because I didn’t have any of it on for the suspension as it would have been in the way, I ended up leaving in just Zentai and harness … A night bus and then the Oxford Tube back to where I’d parked the car earlier and we finally got home and into bed at 4am and set the alarms for 7.30am, to try to be awake for work!

All in all a good night out, and would go back again. Now that we know what’s there, I guess I’d know better what to bring and what is the ‘norm’ for things that go on there.

I’ve been incredibly busy with work recently, which has meant I haven’t had as much time to either be Spot or to update this blog as I’d have liked to 🙁

Since my last post, my owner and I visited the London Fetish Weekend London Alternative Market at the beginning of the month (just after my Birthday), to meet up with Caz from E-Stim who was going along as a visitor to the show, rather than to work. We spent some time wandering around, and we visited one of the talks that were going on, but I have to say we were not terribly impressed. There seemed to be lots of stalls if you were female and looking for clothing, but not much else. The venue also didn’t feel particularly clean (where the art galleries were, and the route to the stage / workshop room was particularly  sticky as you walked across!), although the atmosphere in some of the rooms would have fitted the events!

We did, however, finally get around to purchasing something which we had been debating for a while… a new ball weight – which is 1.6kg in weight, and 9cm long. I’m currently able to wear it for brief periods, but it’s definitely the weight that is the problem rather than the height.

This also gave us a chance to catch up with Caz and also meant that I was given a fantastic dalmatian mug at the end of it for my birthday.

The Sunday following this saw me attend Heros, but unfortunately, due to a prior commitment, I was a bit late. When we arrived and I changed, after a quick pint, I dropped in to pup mode and spent most of the night on the floor playing wtih two dog toys – one which made a noise if you shook it and the other some rope wrapped in to a ball. These kept me amused for almost the entire time we were there… so apart from the time when I appeared to fall asleep, I think I spent most of the night on the floor enjoying myself with chew toys. Even my owner can’t remember me doing anything else, so it must have been fun!

Heros 10th Birthday

It is the 10th Birthday of Heros on November 4th, and they are trying to get as many people along as possible so if you’re in to that sort of thing, come along 😀

Sunday saw the first Sunday of the month come and go… which meant Spot had a visit to Heros, but also to something else.

Not only is Heros a monthly event on the first Sunday, there’s also the London Alternative Market (or LAM) which is held near the Tower of London… and as Colin and I have never been before, we decided it would be worthwhile paying a visit there.

Unfortunately, various things conspired against us on the day, and while we hoped to be there for the 2PM workshop on Male Chastity, we turned up slightly late and the discussion had already started, so we felt it rude to interrupt. However, as it was their April one, we did get a free Easter Egg on entry… and after some Puppy Dog eyes at Colin, we both selected Cadbury’s Button Eggs – as regular readers will know, Buttons are by far my favourite doggy treat! It was a shame we didn’t make the discussion, as based on some of the topics that were covered at Erotica by the LAM organisers, it would have been quite informative.

The venue for the LAM is actually quite a pleasant one, although being Central London, the bar prices are quite steep.

I decided, for some reason, that I didn’t really want to get changed in to the Zentai – probably due to the heat of the day – so we wandered round the stalls domestically. A couple of items caught our eye, but we were good and decided not to buy anything.

After having looked around the venue, and deciding it was time to leave, we debated what to do. As it was still a nice Sunny day outside, we wandered down towards the Tower of London, and sat outside there, admiring the views and just chatting.

At this point, it became time to think about heading off to Heros, so we duly hopped back on a Tube Train and made our way to Mile End. Unfortunately, we still ended up a bit early, so we had a wander round Mile End’s Park by the canal before heading off to Heros.

We were the first to arrive at Heros (rather unusually!) but as we both had to change fully, this wasn’t a bad thing – lots of space to change. Not long after though, other people started turning up – mainly people we knew – and we started conversing and heading off to the bar.

I spent a lot of time standing catching up with people that we know, but I did drop down in to pup mode and become mischievous – trying my usual tactic of untying shoe laces on unsuspecting victims (apart from the mirror – which meant they saw me!). At one point, Scamp and I stole some rope and someone’s outfit off the top of a bag… well, if you will leave things on or near the floor when there are two pups around!

It was nice to have a catchup with people at Heros, and I travelled home still in the dalmatian print outfit – although under my combats and fleece, as despite the weather of the day, it was actually quite cool out at night.
