E for effort

 Tales from the past as the return to school looms.

I was never that good at gymnastics of any sort not that we didn't try anything and everything the others were doing with the advantages of two fully functional legs and at least a modicum of co-ordination.

The overall philosophy was one of everyone takes part regardless and has to try all to which any "but miss my..." tended to get short firth asthmatic, disabled didn't come into it and so I did encounter the vaulting horse.

It was never easy to get over it without ending up on the floor although back then if you gave the impression you put nothing into it you were likely to feel warm glow delivered to your rear and a public lecture.

I preferred the Games part of the curriculum

Safety and submissiveness

 

Today's entry is a bit different than some from the recent past although going way back in time in other places it was the kind of thing that I was prepared to talk about and that point blog sites were less "prissy" about what could be published.

Submissiveness is something I think most of this blogs readers would be aware of, the extent to which we may be prepared to do something that may not of been at our instigation and to just accept what another may do upon us.

It can come in different guises and I'm not inclined to say how your live should be lived.

For some of us, as Littles we may be happy to hand over a chunk of upper (adult) decisions and responsibilities to a Big because it gives us the mental space to just be our own child pursuing our playfulness to wherever it does knowing we'll be looked after when say it comes to stopping to take any medical treatments or pulled away for spanking if in our playfulness we've got out of hand.

For others this can run into notions of being "made" to dress in certain ways, such as a "maid" (great pun,eh!), sexy bimbohead, being treated in ways that outsiders would see as humiliating (and some people do like it surprisingly enough) or even just being "used" in a sexual way.

Some things in that last set do have some clear risks, one reason why some communities have codes based around advanced consent even if may appear to be "forced" and the use of safe words if what was agreed at the outside is not from a psychological or physical sense "safe" at the time and so on.

Given the amount of interest shown around them clearly whatever our own ideas about what we'd do, they are meeting a need some people have.

The one area I do feel we need to very cautious over are things that involve allowing others direct access to our money as some forms of domination involve financial extortion or the use of personal details and photographs for blackmail

Some might fantasize about it - a common form is that of the deliberately outed "sissy" - but could that person really deal with the in real life consequences such as losing jobs, friends and damage within their families never mind losing their home?

You may enjoy life as a little, some like being in certain respects more of a doll, a plaything that  ultimately that individual buys into but certain elements need really thinking about because the risks are very high and hard to escape.

Acting on your submissiveness is okay but do stay safe.

Getting the balence right

 

I'm slowly catching up after this long super hot period reduced me to a puddle of inactivity as it was so hot I struggled to even concentrate which as we all know was never my strong point.

I mean I could of got a degree in not concentrating and otherwise not paying any attention to anything although the usual way of dealing with that might of been too much for a Grown Up too as everyone seems to had struggled so it's not just an adult little girl thing!

She's showing a look I sometimes do, that of the "When is this gonna stop?"  look as you just carry on until think I've got the point with the sniffles, attempted apologies as your bottom is burning.

Sometimes you just have to go to that point to get us to make the change.

Respecting limits is sensible but you need to keep your senses open to gauge when you got far enough as to underspank can be as bad in its way as to go overboard we just cease to really take anything in.

Summer Melts

 

An overload of cuteness is something I am prone to having a long term addiction to all things Sanriotown for a long time, from tote bags to all manner of things

I quite love sugary sweet pink in tops, short kittenish skirts and accessories so if it was given its fullmost expression then you'd need to wear sunglasses all year round and not just on summer days like these.

I was also into Care Bears, probably cos the message resonated strongly with me liking cartoons a lot.

I mean I seldom watch adult tv these days as little really interests me unless say it's arts or history based with nothing changing much over the years.

The clock has stopped.

Can we have a sports revolution, Miss?

 

We're going through the summer splurge of sports with the Commonwealth Games currently taking place here in the West Midlands and of course we have had the Final of the Women's Uefa championships in which England did actually win.

Sports and girls has a mixed connection as every sooften we have reports saying how girls drop out of sports in their teens with various things such as a preoccupation with hair, not wanting to sweat, body image issues (but there's a massive problem around sexual images sent by girls to boys!) and lack of role models.

Then consider girls (and women's) football which has risen in popularity over the last five years and in which as I recall officially younger next no girl ever got the ball in the school playground which so binary divided it was bloomin' unreal with approved/unapproved activities for boys and girls just on grounds of gender.

That was often compounded by rigid gender division in team games which meant for many boys had to play cricket and even now in a good number of secondary schools football isn't an option even as girls only team sport.

That was picked on by a number of commentators on Monday, will schools see the success and following by teen girls of the game, their involvement in the game outside of school and make that change.

It wasn't so long a go their was a vogue for pushing personal exercise plans rather than the games element in school sports suggesting all girls wanted to do was excercises.

Apart from seeing improvements within the game, I hope school sports departments grasp the nettle and make participation in P.E. and Games more fun for every child with opportunities for all whatever they're interested in.
