It is a struggle to explain what 'The Lifestyle' really means to people. One of the main things I have tried to stress is that it is not in any way similar to 50 Shades of Grey. That story is a fantasized, smutty view, which more closely emulates the life of an abusive kinkster, as opposed to a Lifestyler. It might be easy to suggest that the taboo world of BDSM (Bondage, Domination/submission, sadism & masochism) is all about kink. This is how most "Vanilla" people view it anyhow. However, it is much more complex than just saying it is a kinky fetish.

A common theme for me lately, has been for me to help and console ladies who have been, or are currently dealing with abuse in their lives. This has manifested typically in the form of a domestic relationship, however has also been family members and 'friends'. If you or someone you know is dealing with this, don't hesitate to seek counseling, or even shoot me an email. I typically have some free time and enjoy talking to and meeting new people. It won't hurt to chat about your situation.

The above image looks like a fairly typical refinery, right?

Well the image below is what Senator Boxer presented to the U.S. Senate in a fight against the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Isn't this ... kinda illegal? Not only does the photo below appear to be an obvious photoshop, but it is a poor photoshop at that. Clouds and stack smoke don't mix like that. Refineries do not create such smoke either!
