I suppose it would happen sooner or later but I was kind of hoping never.
My own mother found this blog. She found everything, via twitter. She didn’t close the browser when she found it, instead reading practically everything, and looking at everything.
That was NOT was I was hoping to find out when I woke up this morning and found she had followed me on Twitter. I called her and it was one of the most awful conversations I’ve had. Everything was out of the bag. My interest in BDSM, my dancing, my relationship. Everything.
For that reason I’m yanking this blog. I plan on making a new one.
She’s not disowning me, she didn’t shame me, she doesn’t hate me, but she’s disappointed. Not in my interests or my job, but the fact I posted things with my face in it. I take that as the least worse thing that could happen, which sounds odd but is true.
I suppose that’s it.

Oh my!!! I always wonder how I will react if that ever happens to me! Sounds like you and your mom handled it very well.
I tried to email you for the new address, but gmail says the email address isn’t valid.

EEk. I feel for you, I do. It’s never nice to have people disappointed in the life choices that make you happy.
My mom, some of my family, and most of my friends know about my lifestyle choice. They may not agree with it, but they respect that it is my life to do as I please.
If your mom loves and respects, this will blow over quickly, so don’t you worry.
As for the showing your face in nude shots on the interwebz, I wouldn’t worry unless you are planning an ultra conservative career in politics or religion. 😉 I’m guessing not, so be free, don’t be ashamed.
Oh, yes, And I want to follow your new blog too! 😉

I am so sorry Lexi….I hope your mom calms down and realizes that you are an adult with adult desires. I am glad she did not disown you, that would have been wrong of her….and having a grown child I can kind of understand her feelinga about posting pics of your face, but again, you are an adult.
I would still like to follow you, I like the way you write.
