A successful first party for Tampa Tanners

Sunday was the Tampa Tanners very first spanking party the "Spanking Shamrocks". Alot of love and work went into preparing and pulling this party off and we were very happy with how it all turned out and everyone that attended was happy and had alot of fun. We got a thank you note before the night had even ended. As soon as I get the good pictures with the spankings and contest things edited and get permission to use the photos if I can from some of the attendees I will write more about the events and the wonderful time we all had. For only being a six hour party it was a blast and there is so much to write about.

I had to work amongst all the planning and I work third shift so it was quite eventful starting Saturday morning when I got off from working Friday night. I slept just about two or so hours before we got up and got ready. We knew we weren't getting the meeting room so I wanted to be at the restaurant before the actual meet and greet to reserve the section off to the side for our group.

Which happened to work but I also want3ed to sign up for the rest of the year in the hopes that we could get the back room at all the rest. We were disappointed to find that the chess club meets the same Saturday we do each month and had it booked for the year. We quickly decided to change our venue since we did need the privacy of a back room. We decided to check out the TGIF's that holds the local munch and Tampa Ties munches. We lucked out as we were able to secure the room for those dates. So we have to switch our meeting place just this once. Which I don't think will be much of a problem.

Due to other events planned as well and the local renaissance fair going on this meet and greet was smaller then the first but we did meet a new face and we had alot of fun chatting and getting to know the ones from the last one better. We even decided to show off the Spankopoly board to a few of the members that were at the meet and greet that asked about it. We obviously couldn't play it but it was interesting to set it up at a local restaurant. LOL Here's a picture of it on the table. I was so ready to play if we could have.

After the meet and greet about 8 of us headed over to the hotel to get some pre party play in and play a game of spankopoly. It was alot of fun and I think we might have a few pictures from that. I know that Todd and Suzy had gotten an aluminum cane from Cane-iac and we all tested that out. when it was my turn I quickly requested that Todd be the yielder since Thomas tends to lean towards more firm smacks to his own bottoms I believe all tops are that way. it was a little ouch but we had fun here are a few pictures of me and the Aluminum cane as well.

I had to get to work and Katia had to get home since we had alot to do before the party the next day. Todd and Suzy came to my work for dinner and we decided that when I got off in the morning I would meet with them for breakfast at the hotel. That was fun and I got the room paid for and ready for when we got there. There was a few issues with the hotel and we will not be using that hotel anymore. We have secured another spot that is alot nicer and is actually cheaper. The only downfall to that is we cant bring in outside food but that's alright we will end up paying the same for their food as we did our own that we bought. Most of the morning we spent getting the room set up and things and nervously waiting to see who would show up. Everyone showed up except for one Top who had car trouble and was traveling from about 2 hours away. Here's a few pictures of us setting up and getting things ready for the party. It was alot of fun even though it was work and we laughed and had a good time before the party even started. LOL.

Here's a little picture of the party favors.

And more pictures of the setting up and the decorations and food.

Here's Thomas in some of his Shamrock attire playing with the balloons LOl

And this picture is our friendly host Katia being all official on us LOL

I'm working on editing the other pictures and hope to have a post with all the juicy details real soon.

Speaking of Cane-iac After we got everything set up we were able to also get a few photos of the custom paddles made by Cane-iac. I absolutely love how they came out and we added a shamrock sticker for the party. Here's a picture of them and Katia and trying them out on each other LOL.

Operation: "I Love It In The Can" Tampa Bay/Lakeland

Tampa Tanners had a very successful first party yesterday. I am sitting sore today but that's a good thing. it is a reminder of all the fun I had! I am working on getting a post made soon with pictures and lots of stories to share. For those that missed it it was a very fun party.

Tampa Tanners has also decided to help support the cause started in fetlife. At every meet and greet as well as party we have we will have a donation box available. it is our pleasure to help and Katia and I will get each box to Erin and Banrigh after each party. I have emailed her and asked what else we could do to help. It is my hope that at our August party we get lots and lots of donations to get to them. Please visit the fetlife group for more information. I copied and pasted some of it to share here.

Description
One can per month per person is all we ask.

If every kinky person in the Tampa Bay/ Lakeland area gave one can of food per month, think of the difference that we could make for people who struggle to feed themselves.

Banrigh and Erin challenge you to join us in the coming months to participate in this opportunity to give back. It is our hope that on November 19, we will make a sizeable donation of canned goods that will show that the kink community cares.

We challenge you to do more too. I think we can do better than one can a month. How about one can an event? Could you do that? How about becoming one of my minions and helping run some of the events in the upcoming months. Can you spare some time?

I have approached Feeding America Tampa Bay (Formerly Second Harvest) and they have gratefully accepted our upcoming donations. We are working on securing a charity in Polk County.

I know so many of you in this area. I know what amazing compassionate people you are. I know what you're capable of doing.

Pass the message along. This is one of those occasions where we all stand together. BDSM. Swingers. Polyamory. Nudists. Goreans. Riggers. Leather. Who did I forget? (spankos) Let me know. Shout out and represent.

We CAN make a difference and we will.

Thanks for your support

I have been doing alot for Tampa Tanners as well. We are getting ready to have our first party on Sunday and I am really excited about that and can't wait. I haven't been able to do any videos since my son once again got his self suspended from school and has been home for the last few weeks not leaving me time to do any videos. he goes back Thursday and i hope to get a video done on Friday at least.

Tampa Tanners has taken off very well and it is exciting to promote and organize and work with some wonderful people in the spanking scene.

whirlwind

lately my life has been a whirlwind of things and emotions. Some good and a few not so good. As I mentioned before my 17 year old daughter is missing and has been since Valentines Day. That is like the worst imaginable thing a mother can go through. The unknown. I worry if she is okay and safe or if this was really a runaway situation or if someday did something to her. She had a bad habit of meeting older men she meet off the Internet. her foster mom isn't cooperating at all and won't return my phone calls. The only thing I was told (when I was told about three weeks later) was that she left a note ran away and there is nothing really anyone can do because she doesn't want to be found and she is 7 months away from being 18. It is one big mess and I am really disappointed in the system. She was placed in Foster care because of these habits and other risky things and stuff she was doing. We were trying to get her into a home. But the state felt that foster care would be less restrictive for her and they always try the less restrictive way first. Now she is gone and they really don't have much to say and wont really return my phone calls. It's frustrating and what we were attempting to avoid has become reality. Maybe they should listen when a parent says their child needs help in a restrictive setting. At least she would still be here and wouldn't be missing. All I wanted was for her to finish school and get her life together and she seemed to be doing well. That was until the rules came in and she apparently didn't want to live there with rules.

To make matters worse my 14 year old boy decided Saturday morning while we were all sleeping to steal 400 dollars and take off himself with some friends. We went out Saturday night to the fetish circuit and munches and things and left them with a sitter. However the sitter allowed people we didn't know in our house and was sleeping when we returned at 1:30 while our son and two friends of his had destroyed the house in a BB gun fight as well as were still awake and playing the Xbox. We shooed them all to the room and were not at all happy about the other kids being there. Although at 130 in the morning I couldn't just send the kids home. One was the sitters brother and the other no one even knows who he was. When we all awoke that morning all the boys were gone along with my younger sons bike, a cell phone, and 400 dollars I was saving up for bills. Then the babysitter said she woke up at 4:30 and they were out in the living room playing the PlayStation at that time. So between 430 and 7Am they all decided to rob us and take off. So now not only is my daughter missing but now my 14 year old is on the run. Although with him at least I know he took off on his own will. and I am more pissed at him at this point then I am worried. I am sure once the money runs out which in the hands of a 14 year old on drugs will be soon. Needless to say we do need a new sitter now and wont be using her anymore. It would be nice to be able to trust one person to actually take care of the kids or at least be able to trust your 14 year old to act civil enough that a sitter can handle him. When the money runs out and he does come home he has a big surprise waiting. If he thought he had no privileges before because we couldn't trust him he has nothing now but a bed and clothes and I switched the rooms giving the youngest the big room. I gave all his stuff away and Im taking the Xbox to sell to try to get back some of the money that was stolen. He wont need that big room anymore as he will no longer have anything to store unless he gets a job and buys it himself. I am done giving him chance after chance. The only thing left to do is totally take away everything from him. It will take us a little to get back from losing that much money but I can guarantee that he will not be a happy camper when he returns. That is if he doesn't go to juvenile detention for the theft as well as most likely drug charges and runaway charges and what ever else they get into while on the run.

Now the good stuff. it was a blast going to the fetish circuit. I got to meet some really amazing people and try out a few things I haven't tried before. katia and were out on the balcony for a little while watching the parade and catching beads. it was great fun and we got alot of beads. We also got to try electric play. That was quite interesting and i have come to the conclusion that I really really like sensation play. Although the electric play got rather intense in the end and my back burned for a while the next day I still have some marks from it but it was a good time marks are always a good thing I guess LOL.

I also got to be suspended. it was very fun and exciting. I was suspended once before at a smaller private party and I really like it. Fetish circuit is a whole different ball game then the parties I am used to. A spanking party is just that a whole lot of spanking where as at fetish circuit there was very little spanking that we saw. It was someones birthday that is well known there but since I don't have his permission to name him I won't. I took a spanking from him for his birthday as did Katia. it was nice.

Speaking of spankings since Katia and i are very much spankos we really wanted to be spanked but Thomas really hates the dungeon atmosphere and was a bump on a log the whole night and would not play. I guess he really only went to be there if we needed him. He did not enjoy his time at all. Since it was hard to get a spanking and we really didn't ask anyone to play like at a spanking party Katia and I decided to play with each other. it was interesting. She practiced on me with her hand and then we used the Tampa tanners paddle we got from Cane-iac.com. Katia knows how to spank that's for sure LOL. I think we will soon do some F/F videos as well. It is all new to us though so we are testing the waters right now and we will see how it goes from there.

There were alot of rope guys there and alot of girls being tied and walking around in just the rope ties. Katia was brave enough to try it out and wear a rope dress and panties. I couldn't do it though but I was curious as I love ropes and being tied. I almost did myself but do not really feel comfortable topless. I did very much enjoy the suspension though and would love to do it again.

We saw a few people we know and meet a few others that we didn't know. The people are wonderful and it is a very friendly place just like the spanking parties. being new and shy I was a little nervous that we would end up being wall flowers and be bored all night. But nope we jumped right in and had a blast. I can't wait to go again though I really need to find a reliable sitter because it is a bummer coming home to chaos after having a great time.

Family Emergency

I have had a urgent family emergency come up and I am sorry. My 17 year has runaway from her legal guardians a month ago and has not been seen or heard from since and I am working on trying to find her which is why I haven't answered any emails or posted recently. I am really sorry and I hope to be back real soon with regular scheduled spanking things. Thanks

Promotional video for Tampa Tanners

yesterday I worked on a short little promo video to advertise Tampa Tanners. There really isn't many places that I can advertise but it was fun none the less. I think the video came out all right so I am sharing it here as well. There is the Lord's of Acid song "spank my booty" playing in the background as soon as the video starts, so if you are anywhere where you don't want that song to be heard you might want to turn down the volume. LOL. Anyway I hope that you enjoy and that if you are in the Tampa area you come and join us for the spanking shamrocks party.

Tampa Tanners "Spanking Shamrocks"

Tampa Tanners private after party day 2 (Sunday)

When I finally got back to the hotel after work Katia and Tomas were finishing up their video and Thomas was tending to Katia's bottom. She had a particular painful session caning and she had agreed to let Thomas record it for Birchwood Academy. After I changed and was ready to relax it was my turn.

I have had a few issues with remembering to take my medicine and for the last few months I really haven't taken it like I should. So Thomas and I decided to give me a reminder about that and also record it for our stores. This week though quite a few spanking opps happened. On Thursday we recorded a special promo video for our back to school bash party. Friday I did a pretty long and hard self paddling video and then Saturday we played alot for the after party. my bottom was feeling it that morning and I was in for a serious wedding gift paddling. The fact that I was already sore didn't stop Thomas for laying it on me though. It was fast hard and furious and it took me by surprise. Afterwards my bottom was burning. Here's a preview clip of that video that is now available on my Cookie Crawford clips and Cookie Jarstore.



Here's a few screen shots as well.


















After both of us were finished with our punishments we talked a little and Katia was very brave and wanted to get a spanking out of the way that she had agreed to take for a friend of hers. her bottom was completely sore though and I felt for her. I even stayed on the bed and held her hand through it. She took 100 with the bath brush so that a friend of hers could get a lesser sentence. That's a real friendship there. Her bottom had just went through a 200 some stroke caning and was really really sore but yet she still went through with the bath brush spanking and agreed to record it for the stores in hopes that it would make a few dollars to help support Tampa Tanners since all proceeds from my two stores will be going to benefit Tampa Tanners. Here's a preview of that clip as well.



After the 100 with the bath brush was finished Katia and I were laying there talking with Thomas as the camera stilled rolled. We ended up in a playful wrestling/spanking match though and that was recorded as well. it was fun at that point even though both of us had sore bottoms and poor Katia was still bared across his lap. I have included both versions of the video the unedited one with the play at the end and one with just the 100 with the bathbrush. Here's some screenshots of that as well.















Afterwards we decided to check and see of Todd Suzy and jean were awake and wanted to go down and get the free hotel breakfast with us. Of course I am sure that the smacking coming from our room probably woke them up before hand anyway. but they were awake and we all headed down to breakfast together. It was a pretty decent breakfast as well. Once we all had our fill we headed back upstairs. I was quite surprised I was still functioning and ready to play some more. We had until 1 to check out so there was still some spanking fun to be had. Well kind of LOL. Katia and i were pretty well done and well spanked and sore. But that didn't stop her from messing with Thomas. We both started out trying to tag team him and get him but I quickly grew tired and at one point had gotten elbowed in the cheek during the wrestling. But she kept going and Thomas and her were having a very serious and funny as hell knock out drag down wrestling match. They were all over the room. I was laughing and resting but I wished I had turned the camera on it was quite a match. They both fought hard and were both sweating and tired in the end of it. I think once he even managed to wrestle her into the bathtub and turned the shower on her. It was alot of fun.

Since three of us Suzy's Spanking Union girls were at the party and so was the new S.S.U. paddle we had to get our pictures taken with it. Every new paddle needs a picture with a nice bottom behind it LOL. here are those pics as well.





Suzy also blogged and has some more pictures with the SSU paddle check out her post at the Suzy's Spanking Union blogspot.

After the pictures and things we all just sat and talked. The adrenaline was quickly wearing off and i was getting rather tired so around 12 we decided to say our goodbyes and Katia Thomas and i left. I went home and crashed and slept until 5:30 before I had to get up again and go to work again. I was really really tired and by Monday morning the post party drop was kicking in. But the weekend was certainly a blast and we all look forward to the first official Tampa Tanners party in March. We hope to see you there as well.

Tampa Tanners first Meet and Greet and the private after party Day 1 (Saturday)

As I already mentioned Tampa Tanners very first meet and greet was on Saturday. we had a great turnout and now that I really looked at the numbers it was more around the lines of 15 rather then 20 but still a great turnout for it being our very first event.

We all enjoyed some really friendly conversation and i really enjoyed meeting new people and getting the chance to sit and converse about spankings and other kink related things.

Since Todd and Suzy from American Spanking Society were coming from two hours away and we all had wanted to get together for some spanking related play for awhile now it made sense for us to rent out the hotel we will be using for our parties for the night and all spend it together. Todd, Suzy and jean rented out a room and Katia Thomas and I rented out adjoining rooms which came in really handy. We just opened the adjoining rooms door and we all socialized for most of the night. Of course when you have that many spankos together there is no way that the socializing didn't involve spanking LOL.

At the meet and greet Todd and Suzy had meet Sissy whom I think they knew before hand but I am not sure. We also all met a newbie to the scene a girl named Shy. She is a young one only 18 and we decided to invite her to the after party for a little while so she can get an idea of what a spanking party is in a smaller setting with people that I know and trust that wouldn't take advantage of her young newbie status. The 8 of spent the time together playing spankopoly. For those that have never heard of it go to American Spanking Society Spankopoly post for more information. It was created by Todd and Suzy and has been a great blast at many spanking parties I have attended.



There was a whole lot of spankings going on for the game and we all had a blast playing it. Cane-iac has made special paddles and a strap for the game and of course those were used as well as the hand and a fire hose small brush and a souvenir "Who's your Daddy" paddle. The implement that was used if a spanking was earned in the game was determined by a roll of the dice. 1 being the strap, 2 the small brush, 3 the fire hose, 4 the spankopoly paddle and 5 being the who's your daddy paddle and 6 was the hand. Since there were two dice the other dice was used to determine how the spanking would occur with 1-2 being over the jeans, 3-4 being on the panties and 5-6 being on the bare. There were a whole lot of 4's being rolled with 5-6's meaning a whole lot of the spankopoly paddle on bare bottoms.

Here is a nice collage that Todd made with some of those spankings.


And here a few shots of me getting my dues as well as a few of the other players.









There was a time when katia got a turn to be spanked and I think the number was pretty high but I believe the implement was a hand. We teased about it being patty cake for Thomas to spank with his hand so I sat in front of her and played patty cake with her. here is a two pictures of that. Todd and Suzy took a few more pictures but they appeared darker and you really couldn't see us playing.





After the game Shy had to leave so Thomas took her home. Katia Suzy and i went to get some snacks at that time as well and had a blast talking and getting the snacks. When we returned Sissy was getting her spankings from Thomas and had already gotten hers from Todd. Todd also took that time to make good on his football bets with Katia and I. during the football season we always join Todd and Suzy's league for fantasy football. Both Katia and I lost when playing Todd so he got to give both of us the spanking of his choice. Here's a few pics from that spanking. I think I asked for the donkey hide paddle just to see what it felt like. It is not a very friendly paddle that is for sure LOL.





After those spankings were done I think it was then that we all took a short break and ordered some pizza. I was hoping for domino's but we had to pick pizza hut whom I dislike and have yet to have an order from them be right. We ordered ham and pineapple but we were given ham and pepperoni instead. Not really a tasty combination to me but I was hungry so I ate a piece. we all talked some more and it was getting close to time for me to go to work. I requested the day off though three weeks prior but wasn't able to get it off and had to work 12-7 that night. It is a good thing my adrenaline was pumping as I had been awake since around 7 Friday morning.

We still had some time for play and it was decided that the four bottoms that were left at the party Jean, Katia Suzy and I would lie across the bed side by side with our bottoms bare as Thomas and todd took turns trying out each and every implement in their toy bags. Which between the two of them is enormous LOL. Both of them have a very large assortment of spanking tools and things. I ended up being on the end which meant that when they switched implements I got a double dose. I got the last spank and the first when they went down the line. LOL. It was a whole lot of fun. Thomas saved the aluminum paddle for last. it was nice and cold since he always keeps it in the fridge at parties. Only three of us were able to take the swats though so Suzy took the extra one since she loves that paddle so much. Thomas then used the paddle to cool down our backsides. How nice was that LOL.







This is where I had to get ready for work and head out. I think there was some more spankings going on after I left but I couldn't be there for the fun. Which really sucked. I went to work and worked the night until 7 although I got off at 6 I stuck around to get my paycheck at 7 when the manager got there since Thomas and katia were filming........

Ill post about Sunday morning in my next post tomorrow. Which will include plenty of pictures and some video clips as well.
