Lolita Wolf's Predictions & Predilections

We headed to the harbor in Baltimore because we wanted to go to the Aquarium. Unfortunately it was sold out. As we stood outside trying to figure out what we wanted to do instead, we saw Santas.  Lots of Santas. They were coming from all over.

“Let’s stalk Santas!” I exclaimed.  They were headed to the ESPN Zone and we followed them there. There were all kinds of Santas: an Elvis Santa, a soldier Santa, Mexican Santa, Jewish Santa and more.

Kathryn found Black Leather Santa and made friends with him.

My favorite Santa was wearing a dress and some hot Santa Boots.

Then we went to Barnes & Noble and they had a big fish tank which made Boymeat very happy.

Glenda is hosting a Women and Trans Play Party at The Crucible during MAL weekend.

Burger King does it again with some really cheesy marketing.

My boy AJ really wants to be on the TV show, The Biggest Loser. Please go read her personal statement and then sign the petition.

That photo up there is my Donald D.U.C.K. paddle. At least it used to be mine.  I bet you are wondering why it is nailed to somebody’s basement dungeon wall.

About six or seven years ago, I was invited to a D.U.C. party.  D.U.C. is an acronym for Dyke Uniform Club. They are extremely emphatic that D.U.C. is always spelled out and that they are not to be called “Ducks.”  They hate that.

So this party that I was invited to was a uniform party.  I realized way back that, while I  appreciate a uniform on someone else, it isn’t really my thing,  I am a six-year-old princess.  Luckily, that lends itself to wearing a little girl sailor dress, so I had the perfect outfit for the party.

Since it was a play party, I needed to bring a toy or two.  My Donald Duck paddle would be perfect. because Donald wears sailor clothes too.  But it was important for me to be respectful to the D.U.C., so I renamed it my Donald D.U.C.K. paddle.  It was only proper.

I arrived at the party and everybody was surprised at my uniform dress.  They were not quite sure how to wrap their heads around it. As perfect as I thought it was, they thought   it was just not right, but they were gracious and did not say anything about it.  It was not until I brought out my Donald D.U.C.K. paddle that they really lost it.

“What’s that!?” barked the General.

“It’s my Donald D.U.C.K. paddle.  That’s D.U.C.K.  You have to spell it out because you can’t call it a Donald Duck paddle!”

The four Generals were totally nonplussed.  They quickly conferred and decided to take a meeting in one of the back rooms. I stayed in the social area and hung out talking to people.

After a little while, the Generals returned to the front.  I saw them speak to one of their recruits and point my way.  The recruit came over to me and asked me to hand over the paddle. When I refused, the little pipsqueak tried to wrestle it from me.  Pffft!  That wasn’t happening. It was easy for me to defend my paddle from that little recruit.

Then the Generals sent another bigger one my way. I may be a girl but I know how to stand up for myself so I also deflected that one. Finally, the Generals, sent three at once.  I was sorely outnumbered and sadly I lost my beloved Donald D.U.C.K. paddle.  It now resides, with a nail between his eyes, in a pace of honor in the General’s dungeon.

Hanging with a nail between the eyes!  Like as if it were a trophy or something.

Talk about iPhone applications!  Joe.My.God posts about iCycle which tracks menstrual cycles so you know who is PMSing when.

Kink For All is a participatory event, an unconference, that is being planned for March in NYC.  Only problem is that they are still looking for a space to hold it!

While on my trip, I was shocked to read an email that Caren Cunningham had died.  She was always so full of energy and always had a great attitude.  I was able to go to Asbury Park on Sunday to the funeral and the reception afterward.

Here is the obituary for her.

It is with deepest sadness that we must share with you that Caren Cunningham, our reigning Ms. New Jersey Leather 2009, passed away this morning at the Jersey Shore University Medical Center near her Asbury Park, NJ home. She was 51 years old. Caren was an enthusiastic member of the Lesbian Sex Mafia (LSM), co-founder of TRIBE – NJ’s LeatherDykes, a member of the Sirens MC, a founding member of NJ Andromeda, a close associate of Crusty Old LeatherDykes (COLD), and a very, very good friend. During the past year she also volunteered at several community events including Philadelphia’ s Liberty Gay Rodeo, Asbury Park’s First Friday Leather Nights, and served as a DM for The Floating World.

She was admitted to the hospital one week ago and diagnosed with advanced cancer. Her fiercely devoted girlfriend Cheryl (LSM’s Party Officer, Sirens MC founding member/incoming VP), and Caren’s mother and brother were with her when she passed.

Caren was an expert horsewoman and dog trainer, biker dyke and leather top. She was employed as a chef for The Center in Asbury Park, a voluntary service organization and supportive residential facility for those living with HIV/AIDS. She had a heart of gold and a wonderfully wicked sense of humor. She gave freely of her time and energy to all she knew, loved her friends unquestioningly, and stood her ground against any adversity.

She was quoted in the Summer 2008 issue of The Jersey Gaze, published by Jersey Pride, Inc., which featured NJ’s Leather Community on the cover and as its lead story . . .

“I have been into leather my entire life, starting in my early teens with motorcycle clubs and a BDSM lifestyle. Over the years, as leather has become more defined in the community for womyn, I have been proud to call myself a leatherdyke. Having come up through the ranks and having earned my leathers, it is an honor to be called a leatherwomyn. I am proud to stand with my Sisters and Brothers in the Leather Community.”

Caren, it was indeed an honor and a privilege to have stood with You.

There’s snow in NYC and other northern climes. I am even getting photos sent to me from my Seattle friends and their freakish snow. Even Ft Lauderdale is getting into the act with a snow covered front yard.

Ahem! How come only one person entered my contest to win the I Rub My Ducky vibrator? What’s up with that???
