Vendor Fair

Saturday afternoon was the vendor fair at the Back to School Bash. We didn't have a whole lot of vendors but the few we had were very nice and we were able to pick up a few goodies for ourselves.

Most of the party I had the tables already set up for the vendors to use. So it really wasn't a set time though about 12 I went and changed into my purple outfit for my booth for the Lupus foundation and the raffle for the Cane-iac cane set. Also the Court took a break to get lunch and look at the vendor fair.

We had about four vendors if you include my booth as well. The first vendor was Paddles And Panties ran by Ms Cali. I was able to get a few things from her booth including some misfortune Cookies that we will be using for the next party. During the party cali also opened a box for everyone and we got to use though and get spanks and things. They are alot of fun and i love fortune cookies these are made better by having nice fortunes including spanks and with what. I also got 2 pairs of panties and a paddle with holes in it. The panties include a pair with a glow in the dark hand that I got as a gift for someone since i was already given a pair. The other pair was her seat of education panties that I ended up wearing under my school girl skirt for dinner. She has a wonderful selection of panties and they are all quite comfortable I am looking into getting the camo ones as well soon. Check out her great selection at Paddles And Panties and see all the wonderful things she has to offer. here's a few pics of her and her booth as well. The paddle he is using on her is the same type of paddle that I purchased.







Another vendor that we had was leather thorn he came for the whole party and i was able to get a pretty good spanking from him with a few of his paddles. I purchased a really nice purple leather strap type thing from him. I'm not sure what the name of it was but Ill have pictures to add tomorrow when I get my bag out of the car. LOL I was going to share some pictures with you today but realized i left my bag in the car and Thomas took it to work. He did sell a few items and here is a pic of Dana Kane and The Villain showing off their new paddles from him.



And here's a few pictures of all the beautiful leather paddles he had available.






He also holds a special name the paddle contest and the winner of that contest will receive the paddle for free. You can enter the one going on http://leatherthorn.homestead.com/Contest.html here Everyone was very happy with their purchases from him and he did very well he says given that we were such a small party. It was well worth his travel to come out here so I am sure he will be back for our next big party I sure hope so he was a delightful person and a great craftsmen as well. Not to forget he is a fine spanker to. Visit his site at leather thorn and get a very nice leather paddle today.

The other vendor we had was a guy I had met locally at the local fetish events and things. He vends at the local fetish circuit as well. So I was happy when he decided to join our group for the vendor fair. he had some really nice things and we were glad to have him. He also had a few things that were not only spanking related that peaked a few of our guests interests. but he also had a whole lot of paddles and things that were designed for real ouchy LOL. I purchased a Purple riding crop from him. I am really starting to get a arsenal of spanking implements in my little toy bag. LOL I usually pick the purple ones as well. LOL. Thomas picked a very large paddle from his table which you will see in the pictures. it was then used for Isabellas birthday swats LOL here's a few pictures of his table. L Means Leather does not currently have a website but he is local to the Tampa area and can be found at most of the fetish events and will probably return for another of our parties as well.









And of course the other table was set up by me for The Lupus foundation Of America. I had a few canes that cane-iac had sent to sell for a donation and I sold a few of those and a few of the raffle tickets for the cane set.Although the set for the raffle is a very nice 45 dollar set so we decided to extend the raffle until our Spooky Spanktacular party. This means that those online can also get a chance to enter. The winner will be announced and the set will be mailed to the winner if they are not present at the party. You can email me for for more info on that raffle which is still going on now. Here's a few pictures of that and the set that is available for the raffle.


This Lexan cane set available for the raffle being held now until October 23rd 2011. Tickets are 3.00 each and you can email me for your chance to win this beautiful set from cane-iac.










All of the vendors including cane-iac donated something for door prizes. So we had a very nice selection of prizes to give away at the dinner on Saturday. Everyone got something and then some I'll write more about that at a later date though here is a great picture of our wonderful door prize table.



I encourage all my readers to check out the above vendors. All of them were delightful people and they all have something for everyone that I am sure you will like. i am looking forward to having all these vendors and more at the Anniversary Bash in February 2013.

The Spanking Court comes to Tampa Tanners

Tampa Tanners. was honored to welcome The Spanking Court. at our recent Back To School Bash. The Spanking Court. brought their show on the road all the way from California for live filming. They also attended the Back To School Bash. When they were not busy with filming and things their members were amongst the guests mingling and having some spanking fun. The whole cast and crew were wonderful people and it was such a pleasure to have them here in Tampa.

On Friday morning when we all arrived we saw some of the crew and welcomed them to Tampa. I saw Ms. Cali and Mr. Kauffman first and we said our hellos and started the process of setting up. We were in separate rooms but we saw a bit of each other as we were all setting up. Here's a few pictures of The Spanking Court. live filming set up as they were setting up.








Before Court officially started that night Dana Kane , The judge, The villain and Ms. Cali and Mr. kauffman as well as a few others that came with them came to the party room to mingle and get some play in. Red Palmer was eager to meet Dana Kane as he announced for the first time to us that he was a switch and would like to get a chance to be spanked at this party. After introductions and things Dana happily took Red Palmer to the hot seat to receive a Dana Kane spanking with a new toy from cane-iac. as well as the free cane they all received for registering early. Here's a few images of that fun time.









After we all mingled and ate pizza and things a little it was time for the Court to begin. I was a little nervous and tried to save my bottom for court I was glad that my court case was Friday night so my bottom wouldn't have had to much play and things before. Dazey had her case heard first in which I was a involved in. Her case involved her being Thomas and mine roommate and making a mess of the house and not doing as we asked her and things. I was glad that I got to be in her case first as it gave me an idea what to expect when it was my turn. The whole Court staff though was very friendly and they made it very fun and put everyone at ease. They walked you through everything and made sure everyone was comfortable with things so as not to make anyone nervous. It was a very nice experience and i can't wait till they return so I can do it again.

As far as cases the court had a full docket for the weekend. They had a few models coming that didn't attend the party but alot of the cases were also party goers so it was alot of fun. One of their models Ten Amorette attended the party and was alot of fun. Before Dazey, Katia and I went to court we got a picture of us holding our summons to appear in court. here's that picture.




When it was my turn I got really really nervous the judge, The villain, Dana Kane and Ms. Cali all made me really comfortable and helped put any of my fears at ease. I ended up being sentenced to 150 with the wooden paddle. The case Thomas brought before them was an actual case and a problem we have dealt with before. It was about me not taking my medicine like I should. The paddle that was used ended up cracking on number 148 or so. We continued though and i didn't know until the end. I was allowed to keep the paddle and the The villain signed it for me here's a pic of that as well.





The Court had a sentencing uniform we had to change into. I am glad I have gotten used to and comfortable with changing in front of others it made it alot easier for everyone. Once I got changed and things the paddling began. it was alot but it was fun and the Villain was very reassuring to begin and end. During though he was quite serious. We were given panties that say Guilty on them as you will see in the next pictures.

Here's me after my punishment in court and a picture of dazey and I both showing off our nice marks from the Court.





After that there were no cases for Friday night. During my court case in between cases the judge had had some fun with Katia and a few of the girls that liked rope. We also had a PJ party in our room after we left the ballroom and invited them to join us. A few minutes later the judge came to join us and we got to experience his unigue spanking style as well as his rope work. He is an awesome guy and we had alot of fun. We all had to get some rest though because the party and Court started bright and early.


The next cases started with Katia first thing at 8 in the morning. We all got up and went to breakfast before heading down to the party and court area. Thomas and katia went to make up as I went in to start things for the day and be there if any party goers show up as we were still waiting on a few to arrive.

Katias case was soon over and here's a pic of her bottom after court.



The Court then had a few other cases including a couple that came to us as newbies and have attended a few of our parties. They are a very nice and sweet couple and they certainly were glad to get the unique experience of the Spanking Court. Shy also had signed up to have a case heard. She of course as you probably already know is our youngest member and a whole bunches of fun and great personality. We love her to death. She was really really nervous and asked katia and i to sit in with her. After her make up and things we had a few minutes to wait as they were still taping a session with a model that came for the Court. So we sat in the lobby and talked with Shy and she was messing with the security guys. The conversation was hilarious as Shy is so funny and cute. She was telling us a story that involved Puddles but her meaning was quite different then the security guys. It was a hoot when she said she left puddles and the security guy asked who's that the family dog? We all busted into laughter and things. Shy talked the security guy into handcuffing her as well so we took a picture of her looking all innocent cuffed even before her court hearing. It was great times and I am glad we were able to be there for her before during and after her appearance in court. Shy did very well and the court was quite happy with her. Here's a picture of our innocent baby tanner as she has been nicknamed.



The Court was alot of fun and we all had a blast their was so many stories to tell and it was wonderful to meet and have them there for this event. I am also very excited that they want to return as well. I am looking forward to that very much. You couldn't ask for a nicer crew then them.

All the videos from The Tampa Spanking Court will probably soon be available on their site The Spanking Court. Check it out and become a member and see the great videos that were produced right here in Tampa at the Tampa Tanners. Back to School Bash. If you missed this event I encourage you to attend the next event they do as well. it will be an experience you will be happy with and take many memories with you.

A little on Cane-iac raffle and The Back to School Bash

As you may already know Cane-iac sent us a beautiful lexan cane set to raffle at the back to School Bash. Due to the low attendance we have decided to extend the raffle online and to other events as well. You can see the canes at any of the upcoming Tampa tanners events meet and greets or other events that I bring them to up till the drawing which we have extended until the Spooky Spanktacular party in October. The canes are wonderful you can see them at this link. Tickets are $3.00 each if purchased through online and $1.00 a piece if purchased at a Tampa Tanners event or in person at any event I attend and bring them. You can contact me through Fetlife or to my personal email at c00kie_crawford@yahoo.com (The O's in Cookie are zeros) for more information on how to get your raffle ticket online. If the winner of the raffle is not present Tampa Tanners will mail the set to them. So you wont have to be present to win. You can also email info@tampatanners.com for more information as well. So hurry up and get your ticket today it is a great set and will make the lucky winner really happy. The raffle drawing will be video taped and shared on this blog. So keep your ticket number handy for that. We will also contact the winner as well.

I also still have a few of the Derlin canes. canes that are available for a $10 dollar or more donation to the Lupus Foundation. You can email me at the above emails as well for information on those and I will also have them at any of the Tampa Tanners events or events I attend and am allowed to bring them to until they are gone. I will also have the Lupus bracelets that are available for a $2.00 donation. or you can just donate any amount you would like to benefit the Lupus Foundation of America. I am a lupus fighter and I know a few others in the scene that are as well so it is going for a great cause. I'm also currently looking into having a benefit concert for the lupus foundation by a local band that comes into my work and mentioned that they want to have a benefit concert. They aren't kinky but it could be a fun night for a good cause I just won't bring the canes to that event LOL.

Speaking of cane-iac and the back to School Bash alot of our door prizes from the party were donated by them. I have a few stories and pictures to tell of that as well though I know i am not going in order for the Bash retelling but that's okay i have it all in memory so nothing will be forgotten.

As I mentioned there were some vanilla security working for the Spanking Court that we got to meet and talk with over the course of the Bash weekend. These really really awesome guys and when we get big enough to warrent security at our parties we will certainly be asking for these two. They were awesome and they even addmitted at dinner that when they first got the call they were not to sure about us or the event and it was strange to them but they accepted anyway. by the end of the weekend we had them laughing and joining us for dinner and door prizes. They also told us what a wonderful time they had and how down to earth and great everyone was. That made our night as well having a vanilla who knows nothing about our lifestyle or anything sit with us and not think we were all freaks and weird for what they were hearing and seeing that weekend was neat. one security guy even walked away with a spanking stick by L means leather. here's a few pictures from dinner and the door prize drawing where everyone got something and then some. I can only post the pics from the ones i got permission and some of course didnt even want their pictures taken but you can see it was a blast.

Back To School and the Bash

This past weekend we hosted the Back To School Bash. Today the kids finally started back to school so I have some peace and quiet and the chance to get some kinky fun in while they are at school once again. I have lots to share about the back To School bash so i will probably have a few posts about it.

Our fun started Thursday night. Thomas and I took the kids to the sitters and headed over to katia's to spend some time with her before the Bash in the morning. it was wonderful i always love spending time with her even outside of the kinky fun at parties and things or shopping for and planning our events. Just being together helps both of us relax when we get nervous about upcoming events and things. We had alot to be nervous about with this party as well as it seemed things kept changing and people kept backing out. We were frustrated and scared about the outcome of the party. So we really enjoyed spending some time outside of the party atmosphere together and she lives closer to the hotel so it made it easier to all get up in the morning and head to the hotel as well.

Friday morning at bright and early we all got up. Katia and i had to run to the store for a few last minute things. Thomas headed out to pick up Dazey and we headed to the hotel to get things rolling and set up the room. We had over 40 people register and plan on coming but each day as it got closer the numbers went down and even as we were setting up we had a few cancels on us. This disappointed us quite a bit and we were a little worried about how we were going to afford the room without some of the fees we had planned on. So we had to change our plans as far as space and things for that but in the end it all worked out and we had plenty of space. The hotel we use is wonderful and work hard at being accommodating and helpful as well as understanding. We couldn't have asked for a better place to host our events at.

Setting up was fun. It was even better when we got to meet Ms Cali and Mr. Kauffman and the crew from The Spanking Court. At first I was scared and nervous as I have never meet any of them and I didn't know what to expect. They were very friendly and helpful and things went really smoothly as far as everyone setting up and things. My nervousness on meeting them was over. There was no need I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to join our party then them. All of them were very nice and did everything they could to make us and our guests feel comfortable around them. I honestly felt like I was at a big happy family reunion and I had never met any of them before this event.

here's a few pictures of the set up for the Bash and us as we were setting up.























































































































































































After we got all set up it was the waiting game to see who all showed up. LOL At this time we were really nervous as we were not sure how many would come and we all kind of sat around looking at each other. Some spanking play went on between the guests that were there at this time but we still were worried as our numbers were very low. Shortly though things got started and Red Palmer showed up from work with the pizza for the pizza party and most of the people that were coming that night showed up. the Spanking Court group also joined us for some pizza and some friendly spanko chatter and fun. here's a picture of a special pizza that Red Palmer made just for our group. he made a special butt pizza for us and it was priceless. We never did eat that one either just got some pictures of it and thought it was really neat. its amazing how we can make anything spanko related LOL.





































Since we had a classroom set up some of us girls decided to get pictures in the Dunce hat we had even Ms. Cali took a turn in the Dunce seat here's those pics.







Lots happened after that though and the party got started. I'll share more of that in my next post. When red Palmer showed up not only did he surprise us with the special pizza he had more surprises for us. Tune in next time for more on the Back To School Bash and the surprises and fun we had.
