Puppy Love
It's Friday evening in the life of a hypnodomme. Is she mesmerizing men, luring them into her spell where they will forever serve her? Does she have some eager slave bound and chained, helpless to resist?
Not tonight. Tonight she's sitting in her bedroom dressed in a oversize University of Kentucky T-shirt, humming "Puppy Love" under her breath, and writing in her blog. (Here, I'll admit that I'm pantieless, does that bring back the aura of sexuality just a bit? ;) Actually you might want to skip this entry if you're just looking for kink and/or other sexy stuff.)
"Humming Puppy Love??" you may ask. If you were a mid-40s woman you'd without question know exactly what I meant, but since I doubt there are too many of those who read my blog I'll explain.
Donny Osmond and all the other Osmonds were on Oprah today. Since I'd heard they were going to be, I TiVoed the show. As I began to watch I was so surprised at my reaction. When Oprah introduced Donny and Marie, in the span of 20 seconds, I was back in that 12 year old girl headspace. As the words to the very first pop song I remember came from the lips of the very first boy my teenage heart ever loved, I found myself holding my breath, sitting on the edge of my seat, and listening with excited happiness. It probably sounds neurotic but I assure you I was in good company. As the camera spanned the audience I could see that every woman there was in exactly the same headspace. I think even Oprah was a little enamored.
Watching the show led me on a pleasant trip down memory lane. So many memories of a wonderful, happy, unencumbered time of life. About the same time that I fell in love with Donny, I remember my fickle heart embracing another famous figure - superstar catcher for the Cincinnati Reds, number 5 - Johnny Bench. Since I was a bit of a tomboy back then I couldn't only have a gorgeous singer to love, I had to have a sports figure too ;)
Happy sigh. I'd better stop before I start talking about Barry Manilow.
What is it about first crushes? I'm not sure, but I'm guessing each one of you can remember yours. Perhaps as you finish reading my words you'll sit back, close your eyes, and just for a few moments allow your mind to drift back to that place, too. It's nice, isn't it?
Never fear. Tomorrow I'll go back to enslaving helpless men but tonight - tonight it feels really nice to embrace the innocence.

I read your blog not because I enjoy it per se but because I want to see what inane thing you will blog about next.
You really don't get that dominance is about perception do you? Any time you post something like this you shatter what few tenuous strands of desire there might be for people to submit to you.
I'm signing my name because there seems to be a consensus among the hangers-on here that one must sign some nom de plume in order for their remarks to be valid. Let the whining about this cease.
Wow...it's like seeing a tone-deaf person who tries to imitate a singer but produces only a horrible screeching noise, and who then says to her pained audience "What? I did all the same things a singer does! There's no such thing as music, it's all just perception and image! All that matters is whether you can fool someone else into thinking you can sing!"
Or perhaps it's like seeing a politician who continually tells the voters "I am a leader! I courageously lead the way to a better tomorrow because I'm such a strong leader!" without ever actually doing anything to demonstrate real strength, or to lead people, or to inspire anyone to follow him. The poor fool thinks that just describing it makes it so. (There are plenty of these in both parties.)
The fact is, there is such a thing as musical ability...there is such a thing as courageous leadership...and there really is such a thing as innate confidence, control, and natural dominance. Someone who genuinely possesses one of these traits has no need to fool people into thinking she does, nor to put on a big show of boasting about it to deceive the credulous. These traits speak for themselves. Only the fraud or poseur needs to constantly put on an act.
In short, Lady Julia has such confidence in her own abilities and the respect and admiration she receives from everyone who truly knows her that she doesn't need to play your pissy little games to impress us. Is that clear enough? If you can't cope with someone being a real person, that's just sad.
Lady Julia,
Of course, you know you can just continue to be yourself. Most of us here are happy to interact with and be guided by our bossy friend.
As to puppy love, I remember the girl in my 4th grade class that I wanted to please. She had long red hair and a nice laugh. The teacher put the class in alphabetically order and I happen to end up next to her. She and I actually talked to each other (a new experience for me at the time to like talking to a GIRL). She knew more about Bear Bryant than I did. I looked forward to the slow times in the class when she and I could talk.
Anyway, we didn't sit together the next year and we both moved on. Still 30 years later I remember her as my first love.

P. S. On Gilligan's Island, I used to really like Mary Ann.
Any time you post something like this you shatter what few tenuous strands of desire there might be for people to submit to you.
If you read anything at all of what Lady Julia writes you would realize that she isn't here to try to get people to submit to her. In spite of that there are still a lot of men who would give anything to do so. We merely respect her and her wishes, a lesson you would do well to learn.
Lady Julia I like stories about your everyday life and reading your opinions about things that are not kink related as well as all the things that are. You're real.
I always liked Lee Merriweather as Catwoman.

i loved the introduction You gave to this item. You about had me rolling - You're so much fun!
IMHO, the psychology of "the crush" is not all that unlike the spell woven by the hypnodomme.
First crushes? Hmmmmm... i'll give the honors to Dawn in 3rd grade. She was cuter than a bug and could touch her nose with her tongue at day camp. A little later in 7th grade there was Shelley. She was my first blonde crush the cutest smile and incredibly big blue eyes. She would say "Wow...hi" and everything after that was a bit of a blur to me as i would become speechless. i caught up with her on classmates.com 35 years later, and the first words of her email to me were "Wow... hi". That's the honest truth! It about knocked me off of my chair.

Tyrelle sugar, would you be the artist formerly known as AnonyMonyPoohPooh? I think you must be. We fake Dommes (no wait, Fauxdommes) have a way of knowing these things. We also know what city and state you're from and your IP address. Funny thing those web statistics monitors, they tell a lady so much sometimes.
Thanks RAB and Nick :) You're sweethearts.
TVH, I think you hit about a 40 year debate. Maryanne or Ginger?
Will and Robert, thank you for sharing your stories. Donny and Johnny were my first crushes when I was old enough to know what a crush was, but like you both I remember someone from grade school. Funny enough, his name was Robert :)
Dear Lady Julia,
I must confess to two things here.
1. When the Osmonds started to become popular I ranked them right down there with the measles. I couldn’t stand them. They made me cringe!
2. Reading about your feelings for Donny ranks right up there with the best trances that you so graciously share with us.
Would that I could go back in time with the knowledge that I have now and hear Donny Osmond again, knowing that he made you so happy. I don’t care how corny or silly or goofy it sounds. Knowing that you liked him makes me feel almost that I like him. (“Almost”. I do have limitations, as you have probably guessed by now.) No, I’m not going to go out and buy his music but I will no longer cringe when hearing his name.
Some people will not get that you are powerful as a Domme BECAUSE you are so open, honest, and human. Those folks, sadly, will subscribe to the out of date notion that to be a Domme means to be a simplistically imagined caricature of a Domme, never showing tenderness or experiencing soft emotions. They have no idea what they’re missing!
This is Lady Julia's blog so I don't want to get into a third party exchange with Tyrelle here, but I do have a couple of things to add.
First, thanks Tyrelle for identifying yourself albeit with an alias. As long as you use that alias consistently then at least one can try to begin to understand you and your perspective over time. I use an alias for personal reasons but its consistent.
When I read your opinion of Lady Julia's blog and how that impacts your image of her, I'm left wondering why you feel that way. I can't tell whether you are expressing some disappointment because your conception of her is impacted by her expressing her inner feelings, or whether you just have a narrow personal view of what a Domme should be. It's really hard for anyone, including Lady Julia, to respond to your comments meaningfully without that context. In any case, I hope you can find a way to resolve your personal issue.
Tyrelle, I think you'd get less of a reaction from us "hangers on" if your comments were less personal affronts to Lady Julia. Its one thing to say "I think a Domme should be tougher", but quite another to personally demean Lady Julia for being who she chooses to be.
I want to add that I think a Domme who has the confidence to reveal a soft side is actually a more powerful Domme figure for me, because it is easier for me to trust that person and so to surrender control when She wants to take it. So rock on Lady J! If that doesn't work for you I hope you can find a Domme out there who better meets your expectations.
And because I do not intend to usurp Lady Julia's blog any further on this that's its for me on the topic.

My first crush was on 2 guys. Yes, I was pretty wild even back then.
And their names were.......
Wham:)
I actually snuck into the Lady Julia Yahoo Group for a couple of weeks once. That was until the fire marshal asked me to leave. There were literally thousands of members/fans jammed in there.
If Lady Julia were to do an open casting call for male submissives, I’m thinking the line would form somewhere around North Dakota:)
Arafin, that you can think the name "Donny" without cringing is a testament to my powerful hypnodommelyness (grins). Ok, it's a testament to our friendship and your sweetness but the other thing sounded more Dommely for certain anonymony people who need that ;)
TVH, thank you for offering some (what I hope are) helpful words to Tyrelle.
Susan, did you have very many crushes when you were younger or were you faithful to your idols? I found myself flitting here and there (I fondly mention the Bay City Rollers and Tony DeFranco at this point) but until I outgrew the preteen and teenage crush sort of thing, there was always Donny and Johnny (yet another happy sigh). (Laughing)
Hugs to Susan and a soft kiss on the cheek to my knightly friends. You know I adore you, right? :)
I agree with Robert. You are so playful and fresh, Lady Julia. I never know what to expect when I come here to read.
Tyrelle I'll give you kudos for finding a linguistically correct way to use a Latin phrase correctly in a blog comment. Other than that I will agree with TVH. If you appreciate a different style of dominance then good for you. Obviously many of us don't agree but no matter if we did or didn't we wouldn't personally attack Lady Julia or any other Domme for the way they choose to be.
