I swooped in and got my order placed in time for Midori/AIDS Lifecycle color-of-the-month. This stuff sold out in less than 14 minutes.

Fourteen minutes, people.

I have been thinking about what this “means” that there is such demand and such a following for Monk’s rope, that the entire stock of color-of-the-month would be spoken for in less than a quarter hour.

There’s all the obvious–the color is a great color; contributing to Midori’s fund-raising efforts; the high quality of Monk’s product. Oh, and this was ultra-premium “Bavarian Blonde” And there’s another obvious and interesting aspect–people love rope.

Of course it’s all relative to how much of the color-of-the-month was produced. I keep meaning to ask.

I do know that I purchased a total of 90 feet–one 50′ length that I intend specifically to use for a karada, and four 10′ pieces to use in all the flexible ways they can be used.

I should be receiving delivery any day now.

Taking stock of what rope I already have, in preparation for ordering more–because Twisted Monk’s color of the month goes on sale in just under 24 hours, and it is “a shocking bright PINK.” And how can I pass that up?

From Monk’s blog:

. . . this month’s color is a benefit color with the profits going to support Midori and the AIDS/Lifecycle.

This is our ultra premium 4-strand, “Bavarian Blonde” hemp rope, now dyed a shocking, bright pink.

This color will go on sale Saturday, Jan 23 at noon (pst) The color of the month always sells out fast, but the Midori colors always sell even faster, hence me giving you all lots and lots a warning.

Here’s his sample shot. See what I mean?

So, I am not sure how well this color will “go” with the colors I have, but whatev.

But I have an argument all prepared, to justify the purchase.

See, I actually use boric acid. It’s something that multiple health care practitioners have prescribed as a way to help keep my vaginal flora and fauna properly balanced. I fill little gelatin capsules with boric acid powder and do the suppository thing. And it works, like nothing else has–in spite of the fact that boric acid is also used to kill rodents. That part does disturb me.

But I have trouble remembering to use the boric acid treatment, so my rationalization for purchasing this swell–but pricey–antique pharmacy bottle is that I could set it on my night stand and it would make my capsules more obvious, and this would help me take care of myself. Maybe that makes it a tax-deducible purchase?

In completely unrelated news, I am thinking about taking this workshop at Babeland in a couple of weeks.

Why? Why is this crossing my mind–training in dominance? I am not altogether sure. I like Midori. I like the terminology “power femme archetype.” And I seem to be encountering many men who want to be dominated a little. So, for $35.00, why not see what a professional has to say about it?
