Pedestal - 27 Jan 2012 ; Thank you and well done! (21)

Thanks very much to Derek and the crew!!!

I really appreciate their efforts to make such a great event every time.

I had a very good time. Met a lot of my favorite friends at once, too many to catch up. Had lots of smiles and laughs, had a bit of play, too.

See you in March!

Loved the very happy American lasses from ClubFem Houston branch.They were very iconclastic and not a Femdom cliche in their behaviour.

It was wonderful to see so many friends, and to have good chat and play, too.

Well done to Team Pedestal: you *always* deliver, but some nights are just amazing, really buzzy ... and well worth the 18 hour round-trip

A/all my guests enjoy the night, and few youg male & female lost pets, find their way to the true blessing of 'Power Exchange'...

A refreshing (busy) night indeed (lol). Well done Pedestal!

If any Mistresses are reading this and do have a pain slut they know of and you attend pedestal and we are stuck when requested for one, we can aproach you to advice me where the pain slut is, i failed in a quest to find one on friday. (there a rare breed) - we were missing our main slave who takes these requests.

I have posted on other thread, though felt it was best to say well done, on this one. As Mistress Nana(not sure how Nana likes to be addressed) had rightly started a well done pedestal thread.

I thought the dress code was quite strict this time!

When I arrived the club, I just wanted to walk to the toilet upstairs to change my clothes as the small changing room downstairs was packed with 8-10 men, so I didn't want to get changed there at all. I often have changed in the toilet upstairs at the beginning of the night in the past.

However, I was stopped by a house slave at the entrance of the floor upstairs this time. I was told that I couldn't get into the floor with ordinary clothes. I explained to him why I don't want to change in the changing room and I had no intention to walk around in my ordinary clothes, just wanted to go to the toilet straight away. He said 'It breaks atmosphere if you walk with clothes like that!'. He spotted another person in ordinary clothes getting into the floor like I did, so he quickly asked another house slave to stop the person.

He seemed well trained to keep the rules as rules which is really great. But...

It was right after 10pm as I had just come from pre-Pedestal drinks at the bar next door, not many people in the club at that time.

By the way, there were two routes to get to the toilet. (a) the left one, through the main dungeon area which is usually busy with people. (b) the right one, through the dance floor which is quite dark, no one seems dancing at 10pm.

If I took the route (b) through the dance floor, would I still be destroying atomosphere? I said that to the house slave, but the reply I got was still 'No, you can't get in, sorry!'

OK, the rules should be respected all the time. I didn't fully understand why the atmosphere would be destroyed if people go to the toilet to change, but I understood that was what the club has decided and the house slave followed it perfectly(...he did his job, so well done to him then).

Luckly I met my friend and he covered me with his coat while I was changing in the corner under the stairs. It was not great, but still, much better than being in the changing room with lots of men around.

[[This is just an aside... to my surprise, later on in the club, I saw several men who were in ordinary clothes!(some of them had a collar, so they are not just a member of staff). Why were they allowed to get in?]]

I don't mean that I wanted to be treated as an exception to be allowed to go to the toilet when I change my clothes. I don't want to make a big fuss about it, but I think there are many women like me! So that's why I wanted to raise an issue. (Or... am I the only one who feels very very very uncomfortable if I have to take my clothes off and show underwears when male strangers/acquaintances are around??? Do you think people who are into fetish/BDSM should be able to take clothes off and change when male strangers are around??? Might be interesting to find out...)

So hope this issue could be solved sometime in future. I have several suggestions. Not sure if they are good or bad, but I hope the staff will have a glance at them.

(1) The changing room downstairs can be used by women. Men can change in the corner downstairs. I personally think this would be the simplest and the best.

(2) A corner of upstairs by the windows can be sectioned, used by women as a changing room. Men can use the original changing room downstairs.

(3) House slaves can accompany 'ordinary-clothed women' to the toilet through the dance floor when the club is quiet, maybe before 12am?

(4) Big black cloth(like a bed sheet) can be borrowed at the entrance. 'Ordinary-clothed women' can wrap themselves with it, walk to the toilet.

About (1) and (2)... I know, there might be problems like, 'who are <women>?'(including TV/TS? or just TS?) or 'what if women want to have assistance by their male sub?' - personally, I don't want any male be around me when I change my clothes even they are someone's sub. They are still 'a male stranger' to me...

On one hand forcing people to get changed downstairs creates a bottleneck and slows entrance into the club - especially early doors.

If you start to let people upstairs before getting changed - it becomes harder to police the dress code.

I would say however, it's very rare I see woman violating the dress code, hence letting woman use the upstairs loo is probably the right way to go.

"Breath out, so I can breath you in"

I just thought, from this Pedestal, everyone had to get changed in the changing room downstairs... Then I felt like, 'Some women would feel unconfortable like me if they have to get changed when men are around!'(eh... still haven't found out if it is only me and no woman really cares though!)

If women still can go to the toilet to get changed for keeping their privacy, there won't be any problem then.

So... when people want to get changed,

The changing room downstairs - for everyone (women, men, whoever)

The female toilet upstairs - for women. So only women can go upstairs with ordinary clothes

Right? Thanks!

Now I have to wonder... Did the house slave saw my mustache and Adam's apple??? I thought I hide it well.
