I’ve always thought that the first sentence in any writing should have impact. It should engage readers so they are intrigued, excited and in expectation of an arc of a journey until there is a climatic ending. In my case I have always written how I feel in my blog. With my mentor I am journaling every day. I just asked him if its too boring to read if it’s not exciting and titillating, and if other mentees are more interesting and make things up just to get spanked, not that I need to with my record! He explained that it should be a true account of my thoughts and feelings, and he is there to help me if I need. It’s kinda like having a secret bot I suppose who I can sound out to, who won’t judge me or be indiscreet and will only hold me accountable in person when I break the rules. Plus, it really helps me get out my emotions and feel better that I got it all out at the time, rather than changing it just to pretend life is all highs.

So, this post is actually about my trip to Las Vegas for the Labor Day Oasis Spanking Party event. With the above paragraph in mind, I will tell it as it is/was for me and hope that works for you all. In fact, I am going to cut and paste some of the text from my daily journal, but I will leave out a lot of ‘thoughts and feelings’ stuff so as to not bore, surprise or freak out anyone.

I went to Las Vegas with my good and now local friend Josie Harrison Marks. We booked some extra days so we could have an extra day before the party registration, and then a couple of days afterwards to shop and sightsee in fabulous Vegas. We were hosted by our professional friends Isabella Dollish and Marsha Darling and their entourage of lovelies, who gave us their extra social time too so we had an amazing holiday. It was hard for them because they were there as pro models with a busy schedule, so god knows how they found the energy to run us around the city too, but as we also we had a 10,000 mile round trip I guess it evened the score.

We arrived on the Wednesday evening and after Isabella collected us from Harry Reid we got to the hotel and checked in. We were all staying at the Plaza Hotel, rather than the Tuscany I went to in February. I had never stayed Downtown before, but OMG I loved being there it was so perfect and different. My only complaints were that the rooms are badly lit that not looking like a hag for photos was impossible, and there is a canyon to reach across the sink to check my make up in the mirror, plus a lack of a full length mirror too…I’m a princess remember?! We met Marsha in the lobby and ran into Paul Kennedy and Alex Reynolds, who I haven’t seen for years, since I worked with Paul at Northern Spanking in films. Got to our room and unpacked, and after a shower Isabella collected us and we went to the Fremont Street indoor pedestrianised area which is huge. It has three stages with bands on (my heaven as a muso) and lots of souvenir shops and food places, I really loved it. I had a cocktail drink of strawberry marguerite from a stall but it was full of ice and too strong for me so I had half and threw the rest away. I got some cute knickers (panties when I’m home in America) that Isabella saw that the man in the shop printed ‘Pretty Pretty Princess’ on that Isabella suggested for me. We did a photo shoot later that I will post some pictures of sometime.

Thursday morning came and amazingly I was up early bright and full of beans, no jet lag just excitement. In the afternoon we went down for the party registration where I saw some familiar faces and there were more hugs and introductions. Later on at 3pm Isabella was hosting her show for her Discord channel group IntrinsicKinkinc (on Fetlife). Me and Josie were invited to attend, and Isabella also had a few of her friendship group appearing, who were all so very lovely people we got to know well and spent a lot of time with afterwards. I didn’t know what the agenda was for the filming or who was doing what, but as it was a live broadcast that would be made into a video for Fetlife afterwards me and Josie thought it would be fun to attend. The video has since been published on Fetlife (note, the sound was a problem on the day but I hope you get the general idea.) It turned out to be a live demonstration about Consent and Negotiation in the scene. I was first to be demonstrating with Bella and Josie spanking me with my choice of a leather paddle and a hairbrush. It wasn’t hard and I had 30 smacks and we stopped and talked as it was happening. Everyone was involved after me and it was a fun hour or so with new friends.

In the evening we went to the bar area and met up with other familiar faces at evening registration, and after just one bottle of Corona I was tired and decided I needed to sleep. I was already overcome by the 36° heat outside (99° F) when we had gone for a walk, and the aircon was killing my dry eyes so I went to bed early. I was feeling a bit low from a few emotions I was already having before the event and my head was messed up trying to figure out reasons for them, so I decided to cancel attending Oasis School or the Arts on Saturday, which I have managed to gain a prized place at. I was crying as I typed the email but sometimes I go with my head and it was telling me that nobody wanted to see me crying there too, and another person on the waitlist would be more fun for everyone around. I hope I will back in class though another time and be full of my usual bounce.

Friday morning we once again went to the Hash House cafe restaurant in our hotel and I had eggs and bacon. It was becoming my local, I like the staff and it’s a nice easy walk from our rooms. In the early afternoon we popped along to the Female/female event in one of the large suite rooms. We read the room and it just seemed like a bunch of girls and other related gender identifying types who all knew each other catching up, so that was fair enough. I don’t know what I was expecting, maybe just a chance to make new friends to hang out with socially in Vegas, and if they later wanted to spank me and they only had to hint or ask (I’m useless at asking and even more shy with other girls). But this seemed like a lot of familiar groups together who were engrossed in chats, which is fantastic, it’s hard enough as it is to navigate events and finding like minded souls. Maybe i got it wrong, sorry if I did and maybe I should have stayed a bit longer.

The Roleplay Roulette event was good. I dressed up in this German beer festival Fräulein wench type outfit I had bought last time I went but never got to wear, and I added my hand made tasseled cowgirl boots I bought in Nashville a few years ago. I just picked out three people to have mild fun spanking with, some of the ones all the other girls choose, and it was a giggle. I saw Isabella there and she wanted to spank me, but I didn’t realise she would be there as she is busy working some days here so that was fun and giggly.

I got back to my room and got changed as I had a date night booked with someone I love very much, but that’s not something I want to talk about online. I was wrong about some of my fears about what to say and how I should be, and just had a lovely time, that’s all I want to say.

After that I went to the Paddle Decorating competition which was part of the Vendor’s fair here. The theme was Greek Life so we all dressed up as ancient Greeks and I added my real princess tiara. I only had one drink of Corona and was not going to feel ill like I did yesterday, but I was still tired after not much sleep. We went back to get changed for the open play suites and I just threw on a white T-shirt and over the knee socks and a plaid skirt, kinda like Britney Spears ‘hit me baby one more time’ video. I only played with JC briefly as I wanted to try his belt that he was using on the girls, it hurt but was a nice feeling. I rarely like playing with Tops in a very public open suite, but he is so good, calm and understanding and a lovely person and maybe I just see it differently with some people and connect better. I chatted to a lady who knows my friends in the UK so that was also good. It was a perfect day and I was very happy at the end of this particular day with the biggest and hopeful smile on my face so this was a High.

Saturday by mid day it was super hot and stuffy with the aircon too and I was feeling so tired already. I went back to the room after Josie had finished her play session next door and only had an hour to nap, but really needed a full night’s sleep. We had to get ready fast as there was the photos for the Dark Academia theme dinner and dance in the ballroom. I wore a schoolie Gothic type outfit I found and some chunky shoes I loved, like Wednesday Adams! They are super comfy so I might wear them again. The event was fun and I caught up with Mija who runs her own blog and followed mine before. It was good to talk about the other parties we both went to in the US before. I like her, she is a fabulous honest girl with a warm heart, and cute dog she brought with her!

After a quick change we went up to the party suites. I only had another short play again with JC and he had his Canadian prison strap he was using. I don’t usually do public things as they are way too adult and I’m not an exhibitionist lying on tables type, but all the rooms were busy with people. We found a room with no one in it but it only had a bench facing the door you I could lie down with nobody looking at my bottom, but as the room was empty I said ok if it was quick. He gave me a warm up as I’ve hardly played here, which was what I wanted. I had 6 swats over my skirt at medium level he said, then another 6 and final two on my knickers harder. It hurt at the time but in a nice afterglow way. I was out on my feet already anyway and so tired so went straight to bed. My Garmin body battery was a High of 8 (should be 100) and I have been that low since Thursday but somehow I was surviving this trip just on adrenaline, and not wanting to spoil it for anyone else in our group. I slept for a full 8 hours for the first time since I’ve been here.

Sunday we walked to the Fremont Street shops and saw that tonight there was a free concert with three bands playing live. When we got back we went to the CP court event where people can bring a case against each other for fun things, and the loser gets a few swats of leather from Judge Dave on the stage.

In the evening we had dinner, I had a chicken burger with fries, and then we saw the live bands on stage. Ugly Kid Joe were fantastic and I was amazed it was free. When I got back, I went up to the play suites just as the Family Vacation was starting. This is for the school kids and friends to have a party and then the Tops come in a catch us. I was spanked by two people and it was a giggle, and I’m sorry I never got to look at their badges and know them better. The cute gorgeous girl who grabbed me and let me suck fake sugar Charlie through a one dollar note was so much fun though and thanks for letting me join in with you.

Later we went to the open play suites and I met Spankmaster2011 who wanted to stamp my bottom after spanking me. He was funny and we had a laugh and got some good photos and a video that Josie took. I sheepishly and embarrassingly admit that I did kick the tool bag of one of the Tops I played with at Roleplay Roulette. He didn’t recognise me and gave me a funny look and thought he was in my way, or my subtle bratting skills need refining or I need consent before being playful with the wrong people. I do apologise though, with a note to myself to be more considerate (and memorable) in future 🙂

The party was officially over today and lots of people go home after the long weekend. I had a good time and did pace myself, but it was a long way and lots of money so I will need to earn some again now before I can go again. Thanks to the amazing organisers at Oasis who keep coming up with new themes and fun ideas to include everyone. I didn’t play much at all, but my reasons for coming to Vegas were not just to go to a spanking party, it was more than that it was a holiday trip too..

The rest of the time, Josie and I spent socializing and we left on Wednesday and landed on Thursday 4th September. Since then I have had the hugest drop in my entire life and I am still very emotional and down, but I will get through it. This is the biggest Low I can remember for a long time, and I need quite a bit of time to process my feelings and understand things. I hate the ocean and time differences between me and my friends, and I hate goodbyes and my immaturity in situations. I feel awkward, and I know I make myself too open and vulnerable and I hate that feeling. All I want is things to be simple and happy all the time, like I usually try to be, but I struggled a lot fitting in on this trip. The whole party event was once again totally awesome, and I want to come back again next year but I will keep it simple next time.
