The digital divide is genuine but it is closing slowly
- by: Bernard Salt, Social Editor
- From: The Australian
- August 29, 2013
THERE is a digital divide in this nation and it has nothing to do with the National Broadband Network and its rollout, or lack thereof.
It has to do with who has and who does not have home access to the internet. This question has been asked at the past two censuses so it's possible to see where the digital divide lies. And as far as I can see access to the internet in the home is seeping out from the knowledge workers of the inner city to embrace the ordinary and the aspirational of middle Australia on the very edges of the city.
Between the 2006 and 2011 censuses, there was a 16 percentage point lift in the proportion of households with access to the internet. The type of access - broadband, dial-up, wireless - is not relevant to the existence and the course of the digital divide. Rather, the question is whether some parts of metropolitan Australia are being left behind in the digital revolution. At the 2011 census, 79 per cent of households had internet access; based on recent growth rates this proportion now is probably closer to 85 per cent, although there are some parts of the nation where the rate of household internet access exceeds 90 per cent.
The digital cognoscenti live in an odd collection of places such as the curiously named Pleasure Point near Voyager Park in Sydney's southwest; 92 per cent of Pleasure Point's population have internet access. Pleasure Point is a new infill, and clearly aspirational, housing development; internet access is part of the suite of services regarded as de rigueur in selling new homes.
Other areas where internet access today is likely to exceed 95 per cent of households includes Melbourne's Docklands, Brisbane's Burbank and Perth's Burns Beach. The common denominator for these digital hot spots is that they appeal to large families where both partners work and where there are teenagers and/or young adults still living at home, or they are the preferred location for professional singles and couples who would most likely work in the knowledge industry.
But this is not to say that there aren't places within metropolitan Australia where internet access in the home is limited. In suburbs dominated by public housing, internet access hovers about the 66 per cent mark. For example, in the Sydney postcode 2559 that centres on Claymore in the city's southwest, just 62 per cent of households have internet access. Similarly low levels of internet access dominate Ardeer in Melbourne, Athol Park in Adelaide, Dinmore in Brisbane and Balga in Perth.
The digital divide is real; it can mean the difference between one-third of households having or not having internet access. In Sydney, the digital divide separates Pleasure Point from Claymore; in Melbourne it separates Docklands from Ardeer; in Brisbane it separates Burbank from Dinmore.
But there is evidence from the censuses that the digital divide is shrinking. Those suburbs where home internet access was poorest in 2006 are generally those places that recorded most percentage-point growth. For example, in the Adelaide suburb of Athol Park internet access lifted 31 percentage points from 34 per cent to 65 per cent across the five years to 2011.
Lots more here:
Considering this information in the light of our e-Health needs what we see is that we are moving ever closer to full access to e-Health applications on the internet. However we need to remember that many of the target groups for things such a patient portals and the PCEHR are sadly those who either do not have access or who are not all this skilled in its use (the target groups being the aged and those with chronic illness and disability.)
The source document on which this is based is found here:
The effects of age, household income and location are all very important.
With less than 50% of those under having internet access and with only 60% of the lowest wealth quartile having internet access we really do have a way to go.

You'd remember if you've ever met Vegas-based featherweight Rocco "So Cal Kid" Santomauro (11-0, 1 KO). He's the kind of guy who is hard to forget.
The well-liked and colorful 26-year-old is as known for his out-of-ring antics, such as his signature move of eating cake while weighing in, as he is for his undefeated streak as a professional fighter.
Originally from Hesperia, California, Santomauro moved to Vegas six years ago to pursue his dream of becoming the first world champion in history of Uruguayan heritage.
Santomauro will appear on Saturday, May 31, as one of the featured undercard fighters on DiBella Entertainment's and Sampson Boxing's (in association with Right Hook Promotions) event entitled "Real Fights" in the Tropicana Pavilion at the New Tropicana Resort in Las Vegas. His opponent is, thus far, TBA.
The co-main events that night will be telecast live on HBO Latino and HBO2 (12 midnight [ET/PT]) and feature a 10-round super featherweight battle between Dominican former world champion Javier "El Abejon" Fortuna (24-0-1, 18 KOs) and heavy-handed Mexican contender Juan Antonio Rodriguez (26-4, 23 KOs), as well as an "All Puerto Rico" 10-round super bantamweight war between undefeated Luis Rosa (16-0, 7 KOs) and Luis "Orlandito" Del Valle (18-1, 13 KOs).
Tickets for "Real Fights" are priced at $85, $65 and $37 (plus applicable taxes). They are available for purchase online (www.troplv.com), in person at the Tropicana Las Vegas Show Tickets desk or by phone (800-829-9034).
"It's a natural energy," said Santomauro of his flashy ring persona. "I watched a lot of movies growing up and always saw the hero come in with a lot of energy. When it's fight time, I bring that in with me. Its' a winning energy. I come in with the attitude to fight and win in a memorable way."
Santomauro also says there's an underlying motive for his penchant for dining on the scale. "I hate making weight. About six years ago, I started working with a doctor and I learned how to diet properly. I'm at weight now a week before my fights, while other fighters are dying and suffering. I'm always light the day of the weigh-in. I could eat breakfast, but I'd rather have my meal when I step on the scale. I do it for show and to intimidate my opponent and get the psychological edge. They get very angry. Plus, the media, the commission and fans all seem to enjoy it."
Born to an Argentinean mother and Uruguayan father, Santomauro says it's a funny story how he became connected with his promoter: the equally colorful Uruguayan-born Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing.
"My dad came to visit me in Vegas. I dropped him off at the airport to go home. My dad is crazy. He was at the airport and heard a guy on the phone speaking about boxing in Plate River Spanish, so he started following him around. At about 5:30 am I got a call from my dad and he said he met a promoter from Uruguay. I'm like '??? There's only one promoter from there, you ran into Sampson?' Next thing you know, Sampson is on the phone. He said 'you're going to be fighting for me in July on ESPN2 and that's that.' That's how it started. There are no world champions from Uruguay and Sampson shares my dream of making me the first ever."
An aggressive counterpuncher, Santomauro had about 60 amateur fights and now trains at Mayweather Gym with his coaches, Pops Anderson (Samuel Peter), former world champion Cornelius Boza Edwards and his own brother, former USA #1 amateur boxer, Jason Ingwaldson, whose own promising career was cut short by unfortunate injury.
"I'm in your face. Even though I don't have a lot of knockouts, anyone who knows me knows I hit very hard. I'm very aggressive. I'm the one who controls the pace of the fight. With the team I have in place and all the hard work I put in every day, I feel like I could fight the world title right now, but I need to cross a few more bridges before I get there. Hopefully by the end of next year, I'm ready to go."
Whatever happens, it'll almost certainly be memorable.

The world has gone a little bit(coin) crypto-mad this week. Case in point: shares in Eastman Kodak soared nearly 120% after the photo firm revealed plans at CES 2018 in Las Vegas to mint its own crypto-currency, the KODAKCoin.
The U.S. firm is teaming up with UK-based WENN Media Group to carry out the initial coin offering (ICO). Kodak and WENN Digital, in a licensing partnership, announced the launch of the KODAKOne image rights management platform and KODAKCoin, a photo-centric cryptocurrency to empower photographers and agencies to take greater control in image rights management.

It's part of a blockchain-based initiative to help photographers control their image rights. Kodak plans to install rows of Bitcoin mining rigs—called the Kodak KashMiner—at its corporate headquarters in Rochester, New York.

"For many in the tech industry, 'blockchain' and 'cryptocurrency' are hot buzzwords, but for photographers who've long struggled to assert control over their work and how it's used, these buzzwords are the keys to solving what felt like an unsolvable problem," stated Kodak CEO Jeff Clarke. "Kodak has always sought to democratize photography and make licensing fair to artists. These technologies give the photography community an innovative and easy way to do just that."
The @KodakOne platform & Kodak branded #cryptocurrency #KodakCoin give photographers a new revenue stream and a secure platform for protecting their work. #KodakCES2018 #CES2018 https://t.co/cRP6SJR1YB pic.twitter.com/MiLgRTZx7G

Cryptocurrencies are indeed one of the buzzwords at this year's CES, which is hosting the CoinAgenda Summit and Digital Money Forum double-header event for startups and others in the virtual currency and blockchain space.
As Swarm Fund CEO Philipp Pieper told us as CES was just getting underway, "Bitcoin was the story that dominated the end of 2017, and many of us in the market see 2018 as the year that cryptocurrency and blockchain truly achieve validation and become much more part of the mainstream."
Financial institutions are watching and dipping in their toes. Ripple, a blockchain-based cryptocurrency backed by some major international banks and financial institutions, partnered in November with American Express and Santander on a blockchain pilot to expedite cross-border payments between the U.K. and the U.S. This week, Ripple announced a trial with U.S. money transfer giant MoneyGram to test international cryptocurrency payments.
The crypto craze (which still has skeptics such as Goldman Sachs, even as J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon comes around) is reaching far beyond CES and Las Vegas.
Japan on Friday saw the launch of Kaso Tsuka Shojo / 仮想通貨少女 (which translates as Virtual Currency Girls), a girl pop band—call them crypto-pop instead of J-pop—designed to educate the public about cryptocurrencies and warn about abuse.
The group staged their first performance in Tokyo on Friday to promote the idea that virtual currencies are an innovative technology "through entertainment" — and admission was only possible, of course, to attendees who paid using crypto coinage.
Each of the eight girls in the band portrays a character representing a virtual currency such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or Ripple. Wearing character masks, frilly mini-skirts, maid aprons and knee-high socks, their tunes included their hit song, "The Moon and Virtual Currencies and Me," warning against fraudulent operators and urging attention to online security.
"Our brains are fried as we are studying every day" about virtual currencies, said the group's 18-year-old leader Rara "Bitcoin" Naruse, above, to AFP.
— 仮想通貨少女 公式ツイッター (@kasotsuka100) January 5, 2018
The band is the creation of Japanese entertainment company Cinderella Academy, which manages other J-pop bands. Fans at their first show paid 0.001 bitcoin (around $15) to take a picture with one of the performers and chat virtual money. As noted by the Financial Times, Bitcoin is recognized as legal tender in Japan and close to one-third of global bitcoin transactions in December were denominated in Japanese yen.
While lacking the flashy costumes, KFC Canada also announced this week it's accepting bitcoin for a cryptocurrency-themed bucket of chicken, in a limited time promotion.

"The Bitcoin Bucket" complete with a Facebook live-tracker, costs about $20 Canadian and the chain is accepting Bitcoin via BitPay as one option through an online check-out page. The Bitcoin Bucket will then be delivered to the customer's address for an additional $5 fee. The Bitcoin Bucket contains ten chicken tenders, waffle fries, a medium side, a medium gravy, and two dips.

On Facebook Live, KFC Canada updated its deep-fried currency in real time, every 5 minutes for almost 4 hours.

— KFC Canada (@kfc_canada) January 12, 2018
KFC Canada admitted on Twitter: "Sure, we don't know exactly what Bitcoins are, or how they work, but that shouldn't come between you and some finger-lickin' good chicken. Not a bull market, this here is a chicken one. We could maybe be persuaded to someday accept DogeCoin."
The company drew parallels between the secret chicken recipe concocted by Colonel Sanders and the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. "Was Satoshi the Colonel all along?"
If Satoshi reveals his true identity, his bucket is on us. #BitcoinBucket
— KFC Canada (@kfc_canada) January 11, 2018
Not all are amused. Carl Miller, research director of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at Demos and author of upcoming book 'Power: Liberation and Control in the Twenty-First Century' said of the promotion, "The marvellous, terrible way that a system deliberately designed to undercut the economic world order is neatly turned into a branding opp."
Marketers are born to market—and when something is as hot, and mysterious, as cryptocurrency, it's understandable that it would inspired some branded entertainment.
#BitcoinBucket is currently sold out. There will be a restock tonight. We're mining for more as fast as we can.

A doomed love story
Read more below
- Published 15.06.13
The anguished plea of a desperate wife and mother marks the culmination of a tumultuous love story that was ultimately scarred by the social attitudes to race and marriage in colonial India.
"Our beloved Kitty and Alexander thank God they are in good health and often hope to see their beloved father," Eliza Kewark wrote to Theodore Forbes.
Theodore was a wealthy Scottish merchant who had made his fortune in India in the early 19th century.
Theodore arrived in India in 1809 as an employee of the East India Company looking for adventure and fortune. The 21-year-old merchant was posted to the port city of Surat, where he met Eliza through her brother-in-law, Aratoon Baldassier, who was acting as his agent.
Theodore described Eliza several times as a "girl", suggesting that she may have been several years his junior. Eliza's father was Jacob Kevork, or Hakob Kevokian, a very Armenian name, but there is no record of her mother. However, DNA test results show that she was Indian.
There had been a thriving Armenian trading community in Surat since the 17th century and there was some inter-marriage with the local population. When Theodore met Eliza it was common for British men to begin relationships with Indian women and to have children, even if they already had a family back in Britain.
Susan Harvard, who has been researching Eliza and Theodore's relationship for almost 30 years, believes that the couple were married in the Armenian church in Surat in early 1812, shortly before he was posted to Mocha in current-day Yemen. However, it may not have been legally recognised. In his notebook, Theodore refers to Eliza as "the very pattern of what a wife ought to be" and in his letters addresses her as "My Dear Betsy".
Their daughter Katherine (Kitty) Scott Forbes was born in Mocha in December 1812 and their son, Alexander, two years later. Eliza returned to Surat in 1815 and a second son, Fraser, was born in March 1817 but died aged six months.
Theodore had been offered a partnership in Forbes & Co, a trading company based in Bombay, where the senior partner was Sir Charles Forbes, a distant relative. But there had been a significant change in colonial society. An influx of British women to India had led to a change in social attitudes, with relationships with local women now considered inappropriate for the merchant class.
While Theodore worked in Bombay his wife, Kitty and Alexander were left in Surat.
In a series of pitiful letters, Eliza begged to be allowed to join her husband. In October 1817 she wrote of her hope that "Our Almighty may do so the lucky day as connect our eyes to eyes. Our children as they hope be make them love at your present will. I entreat you my dear sir you may call from hence as soon as possible. Then will be happy and save my life."
The letters, which appear to have been written by a scribe in Surat, were signed "Mrs Forbes" followed by her title written in Armenian, presumably by herself. But in earlier letters she and Kitty both wrote in Hindi, suggesting a mixed heritage.
The following February she appealed for money for the family, describing Theodore's "prosperous face with your merciful eyes" and how she prayed for "lucky day as we can meet to each another". In a postscript she added: "Kitty and Alexander often ask after you their beloved Papa and I let you know they are in good health." A week later she wrote again, seeking a reply to her letter.
In June 1818, Theodore's friend Thomas Fraser wrote to him after visiting the family in Surat. "Kitty retains her good looks but the sooner you give the order about her departure to England the better as her complexion will soil in this detestable climate."
So Theodore decided that his daughter, then 6, should be sent to his family home at Boyndlie, Aberdeenshire, where there would be less sun.
Eliza reluctantly accepted this plan but insisted that her faithful servant, Fazagool, accompany her daughter to Scotland. In another letter, she pleaded again to be allowed to rejoin her husband, writing: "My good sir, I pray you let me know by your leave I will bring my child to give in your hand by myself and after Kitty is dispatched to Europe then stay in Bombay or stay in Surat."
It is Eliza's final surviving letter to Theodore, so it is possible that the couple were reunited in Bombay. Kitty left for Scotland in August 1819 and Theodore decided to return to Britain the following year, but died aboard the Blenden Hall in September 1820.
In his will, written aboard the ship, he refers to Eliza as his "housekeeper" and leaves her a monthly allowance of just Rs 100 a month, less than half the sum she had been receiving. Theodore left Kitty, his "reputed natural daughter by Eliza Kewark", Rs 50,000. His "reputed son" Alexander received Rs 20,000 and his father stated that he should remain in India.
Life for Kitty at Boyndile would have been very different from her home in Surat. Harvard said: "I don't think her grandparents would have encouraged her to talk about her past because it could have given the impression that she was illegitimate and 'coloured'."
Mary Roach, the maternal aunt of Diana, Princess of Wales, agrees: "My mother appeared to have no knowledge of (Kitty's Indian mother), so perhaps it was hidden."
Kitty later married James Crombie, a member of the family that manufactured coats, and was a respected member of Scottish society.
Eliza was last heard of in 1834 when she wrote to Charles Forbes complaining that the annuity left by her "beloved master" had been halved. Charles Forbes forwarded her letter to her children but there is no record of a reply.
In a footnote to history, the current Earl Spencer, the brother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, has named two of his daughters Eliza and Kitty.

PolyWood: Toy Animal Concepts Rendered in Polygons by Mat Szulik
Sometimes it seems long gone are the days of kids sitting down and playing with simple wooden toys, trading tactile objects for screens and buttons. Freelance illustrator and 3D artist artist Mat Szulik straddles the two worlds of digital and physical in this fantastic series of conceptual wood toys based on digital polygons. Titled PolyWood v1.0, the series of 8 creatures are all digital, using wood textures mapped to Szulik's geometric illustrations. I can't imagine how something like this could be produced or carved from actual wood, but they're lovely to look at regardless. (via Behance)

Disney DVD and Blu-ray), everyone's favorite pixie comes face to face with her first human being … and it's not Peter Pan.
Continuing with the various season-themed plots of its predecessors, Great Fairy Rescue finds our heroine (once again voiced by Mae Whitman) attending "Summer Fairy Camp" on the "mainland" (England, circa 1920s). Alas, the close proximity of humans and all their various gadgets and gizmos proves too much for a certain tinker fairy. With the haughty speed fairy Vidia (Pamela Adlon) in protesting pursuit, Tink risks breaking the cardinal fairy rule ("don't be seen by humans") and sets out to check out a neighboring home.
The residents of said home are Dr. Griffiths (Michael Sheen, of The Queen and Frost/Nixon fame), a preoccupied entomologist, and his young daughter Lizzy (Lauren Mote), a curious, imaginative child crazy about (naturally) fairies. Soon after arriving at their summer home, Lizzy puts out a homemade "fairy house" to lure them to her and, before you can say "Faith, trust and pixie dust", she's captured Tinker Bell.
Despite being locked in a birdcage and menaced by a pudgy cat, Tink quickly discovers that Lizzy just wants to learn more about fairy folk like her. And, since she can't fly home due to a nasty storm outside, Tink decides to stick around and teach her a thing or two about fairies (including a flying lesson), even if they do have to overcome a certain language barrier ...

Britain's Big Four auditors moved a step closer to a full-blown competition investigation on Tuesday after the Office of Fair Trading launched a consultation into competition issues in the audit market.
The OFT said it was conducting the consultation as it suspects "there are features of the [audit] market that restrict, distort or prevent competition in the UK".
It will allow the OFT to consult on whether to refer the issue to the Competition Commission, and consider whether in practice the commission could do anything to resolve the issue.
The listed audit market is dominated by KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers. In 2010 the Big Four audited 99 of the companies listed on the UK's FTSE 100. A recent report by the House of Lords also found that the largest companies change their auditors, on average, every 48 years.
The Lords report called on the OFT to look again at the issue, which has been repeatedly kicked into the long grass – the dominance of the Big Four is a global issue and it has been hard for regulators to conceive of remedies that would work on a national basis.
"Having considered a wide range of evidence, much of it reflected in the House of Lords economic affairs select committee's recent report, the OFT has now reached the provisional view that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that there are features of the market that restrict, distort or prevent competition in the UK," the OFT said on Tuesday.
"Having reached this provisional view, the OFT needs to decide whether or not to exercise its discretion to make a reference of the market to the Competition Commission. A key consideration is whether there is a reasonable chance that appropriate remedies will be available to the Competition Commission. It will also be important to assess the relative benefits of action at international or UK level. To consider these issues further, the OFT will therefore be conducting a number of roundtable and bilateral discussions with selected parties in May and June."
Clive Maxwell, OFT executive director, said: "As we told the House of Lords economic affairs committee, we have been concerned for some time about the extent of competition in this market, with only four large players and substantial barriers to entry and switching.
"We believe that the statutory test for a Competition Commission reference has been met, but are keen to understand more about the remedies available in the market and, consequently, whether or not a reference to the Competition Commission would be an appropriate response to our concerns. Our next step is to discuss this with regulators, government, business and the audit industry."

New super-earth detected within the habitable zone of a nearby star
Too bad it's 22 light years away and not say 3 or 4. Project Orion could get us there well within an acceptable amount of time if it was 3-4, but nooo no one wants to do it.
An international team of scientists has discovered a potentially habitable super-Earth orbiting a nearby star. With an orbital period of about 28 days and a minimum mass 4.5 times that of the Earth, the planet orbits within the star's "habitable zone," where temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to exist on the planet's surface. The researchers found evidence of at least one and possibly two or three additional planets orbiting the star, which is about 22 light-years from Earth.

Russia sets its sights on the moon for 2020
Good, now lets start a cold war with them again so we go back too! I swear, war is the only way we will achieve more space exploration via governments, fortunately private space industry is growing ever day.
Looks like Republican Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich might have some competition if he wants to be the first to build a base on the Moon. Last week, the Russian Space Agency Roscosmos announced plans to put a man on the Moon by the end of the decade with a lunar base as its next step.

Classic portrait of a barred spiral galaxy
Here is your beautiful photo for the week.
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken a picture of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1073, which is found in the constellation of Cetus (The Sea Monster). Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a similar barred spiral, and the study of galaxies such as NGC 1073 helps astronomers learn more about our celestial home.

A-hiking we will go!
*This post is about a trip I took last month*
Later that day, I went for a walk along the Neiden river.
Summer has been warm and long in Sapmi, the name for the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola peninsula of Russia -- the Sámi traditional homeland. At the end of the first week of September, fall was in full swing. Leaves were turning, there was a chill in the air in the morning. The lingonberries and blueberries were ripe.
Perfect time for a walk!
The Neiden river is important to the Skolt Sámi people. St. Triphon, after killing his wife, wandered up this way and preached orthodoxy to the Sámi and blessed the water of the river. That was in the 1500s. The Skolt Sámi still baptize in the river today.
They also netted salmon hundreds of years ago. It is still regarded as one of the best rivers in the region for salmon.
There were many more beautiful scenes which I could put here, but life intervenes.
I walked back to the lodge. Eeva and I had a nice last dinner together of reindeer, lingonberry sauce and vegetables. The Finnish cafe workers at this stua were very nice and pretty excited because this was the last weekend of the season. The next day, they went home to Ivalo.
The next day, we got up and tidied, ate a nice breakfast and went to the Kirkenes airport. Goodbye, Eeva! Hello adventure alone.

|Excerpt of Adam White artwork by José Cano (2015).
© Paul Hair.
Spying and treason accusations are all the rage in the news. So "Presidential Pardon" will be a short story in the Mortal Gods universe that will fit right in with the times. There will be espionage and betrayal in the story, with some people supporting it and others opposing it. There will be accusations of injustice followed by demands for justice. Some people become very outraged with what has happened and this leads to further conflict between characters.
Adam White is again the protagonist of this tale and through it all he will face difficult circumstances where he must make tough choices.
So how does the power of the presidential pardon factor into the plot? You'll have to read the story to find out. I'll only say that it is an important factor throughout the tale and a wholly appropriate title for the short story.
I haven't yet scheduled a date for when I'll start publishing "Presidential Pardon," since other stories have priority over it.
But as is with most of the stories I'm currently writing, I plan to publish it serially here at Liberate Liberty and simultaneously at Liberty Island Magazine. And as always, if you'd like to see original, commissioned artwork for this story (instead of my sketches and other creations), you can help towards that end by purchasing my published books and by contributing to me for my published work at Liberty Island Magazine through the PayPal link that is posted there.
No guarantees of original artwork with any purchases of my books or contributions to me, but that is the only way of there being any possibility of original artwork. Furthermore, it supports my writing, including all the free stories I have already published and that I am about to publish.

- I cut and sewed this dress yesterday. It was on my Summer Sew list and I figured I'd better get moving.
- Knit garments can be made really quickly when you own a serger. This dress has four seams, so it was like lightning.
- I love it when things you've been putting off take almost no time to throw together.
- I've never felt the maxi dress was much of a friend to the sewing mama…it really makes a poor effort to hide the post-partum belly, bearing in mind that my "baby" has just turned four, ahem. And then, horizontal stripes…
- You better believe I am sucking it in for these pictures. Big time.
- More info on the knit I used in this post.
- I tried to line the stripes up, I really did. I swear there is some rule in the universe that if Rae Tries to Line Up Stripes They Will Not Line Up and when Rae Doesn't Try They Will Magically Align.
- Also let's just ignore the fact that I cut the back with the stripes in the opposite order than in the front.
- This pattern was taken from the Alabama Chanin Studio Sewing and Design book, though I did not sew anything here by hand, and I eliminated the front and back seams by placing that edge of the pattern along the fold.
- Jamie Christina also has a fantastic maxi pattern if you're looking for one.
- We are going to a Great Wolf Lodgey place this weekend with Mr Rae's family. I have never been to one before. I think it will be fun. I will be sporting my new maxi dress with pride.
- What's on your summer sew list yet? It's time to get moving on it before it's too late!
25 thoughts on "Striped Maxi Dress"
gaaahhhhh a knit maxi dress has been on my list all summer too!!!
yours looks great, no belly to be noticed at all.
Super cute! While in school at MSU I had lengthy winter daydreams about an indoor beach somewhere within driving distance. So cool that it's a reality! Last time I went to one there was also a mojito bar on wheels. Bonus.
Mmmmmmmm maxi dress. Looks so comfy, and love that it looks like you can wear a bra with it too. That's my biggest issue with maxi dresses – tank ones show straps, spaghetti strap ones same issue…GAH. Anyway have fun at the Lodge. Never been to one, heard they're a blast though.
I resisted the maxi dress (in the same way I resisted the skinny pant), but I just love long skirts and dresses. I now have four, with fabric to make two more. Summer lasts a long time here, thank goodness.
Love this knit! You've converted me to Girl Charlee, fo sho.
This dress is so cute on you! I love maxi dresses, but you are right about the belly…I usually wear loose shirts layered on top for a little belly camouflage. Your opposite stripes can easily be called a design feature 🙂
If, like me, you prefer to breath out at some point while you wear this: Spanx. Very cute with the stripes and it looks just great on you, suckin in or no.
You look fab in that dress! So pretty! I love me a good maxi!
I'm starting to think the post-partum belly never goes away…. although you look great in that dress!
I bought some linen in May to make my son some pants… I should probably get on that.
PS I love the mis-matched stripes. I thought you did in on purpose!
The blue stripes match up. 😉
SO CUTE! I love maxi dresses! I agree though, they aren't great for PP bellies… though I don't see one in the pictures!
Perfect timing! I just finished a maxi dress last night. I'm in this mad dash to finish my summer sewing before the cold weather comes!
Maxi dresses are so cute on everyone else but I look at least 4 months preggers in one! Boo :(. Oh and I just realized that none of the stripes in my store bought clothes line up so why bother trying when I sew?
Love those easy projects! Have you tried a cute belt with it? It's counterintuitive to put a belt on when you don't want people to look at your middle, but if you put it around the thinnest part of your waist it will actually make your waist look smaller.
Sucking it in, ha! I tried Spanx (or rather, its lesser cousin, Assets) and while I looked good and felt OK in the AM, I found that by late afternoon, I couldn't breathe very well. You look great and the dress is smashing, so exhale and let it hang out, don't fret about your appearance. 🙂
great job! The dress looks great on you, and a very easy summer comfortable wearable! Love it when I too do projects that whip up quickly! Makes those longer ones not so tedious anymore! Beautiful job!
What is not on my summer to-make list? No doubt my list will bleed carelessly into fall. No matter…I enjoy it.
You know, I thought the stripe line-up was kind of cool because the black stripes seemed to line up nearly perfectly. Love those Alabama Chanin patterns. You inspired me to try one with the babydoll top you did, and now I've been sewing a ton of them (I'm wearing the corset tank right now). I really love them inside out, no serging, because you get a cool detail from the seams that way, almost like you sewed ribbon on. I don't think I'm explaining that well. Also, wanted to tell you that Great Wolf Lodge is awesome with kids (or if you are a grown-up type kid). Hope you enjoy! I have a dress to copy and maybe some kid shorts from Dana's pattern to make. We'll see. I'm folliwng the sewing mantra of the Selfish Seamstress lately and only making stuff for me. 🙂
My first thought. Wow, that's so cute. She looks amazing. She can totally wear this with her perfect figure. I could never wear this. Well, then I read your post and was like: Hmm, seems like she had the same thoughts. Maybe I just go and try it…
The heck with sucking it in. If you can't be comfortable in a knit maxi, when can you? I made two of them in the past week so you aren't alone in waiting until late in the summer season. McCall 6559 is very similar to the Jamie Christian pattern; that's what I used.
As for the stripes matching, it's all in the layout. If the pieces aren't lined up before cutting out, there is nothing you can do. Lots of pins is the second secret. Lay it out properly and pin the heck out of it and it'll look seamless.
Gorgeous! I would love to make a dress like this for myself, but I'm afraid it wouldn't look too flattering around my belly or butt.
What a cute dress! I love the fabric, and the mismatched stripes!
Gorgeous dress, it looks lovely on you. Also, I just thought you'd run the stripes on the back in the opposite direction on purpose.
Very cool! I like how the stripes just miss!
I think it looks fabulous ! And my second thought is I still haven't lst the baby weight and my child just turned 5 so thank you for your honesty about sucking it in 😉 and I love that it took you no time to whip it up ! Inspiring all around !
My twin girls who are now 23 years old said i need to quit using the "I had twins" belly excuse. Trust me girl you look awesome!! I love the dress! I also have the flabby underarms which i hate. Well now there i guess i feel better or worse about myself. Oh well. Off to walk around the block and lift weights.
Oh wow I so want that dress! It's gorgeous. The colours go really well together. Make more and sell them 🙂

When it comes to success, it's easy to think that people blessed with brains are inevitably going to leave the rest of us in the dust. But new research from Stanford University will change your mind (and your attitude). Psychologist Carol Dweck has spent her entire career studying attitude and performance, and her latest study shows that your attitude is a better predictor of your success than your IQ. Dweck found that people's core attitudes fall into one of two categories: a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. With a fixed mindset, you believe you are who you are and you cannot change. This creates problems when you're challenged because anything that appears to be more than you can handle is bound to make you feel hopeless and overwhelmed. People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. They outperform those with a fixed mindset, even when they have a lower IQ, because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new. Common sense wou…
In this new-millennium talent market we are all learning how to sell. We are learning that a job search is a sales and marketing process.
If you get to the end of a recruiting pipeline and you get a job offer that is too low for you to accept, don't get mad. Don't be miffed or affronted. Mother Nature is tapping you on the shoulder. You missed a step somewhere.
Unless the people you're dealing with are unethical people who looked you in the eye and said "Yes, for the right person we can pay $80K" and then offered you $60K for the job and told you "Take it or leave it!" you missed a step somewhere.
You have no time for unethical people, so there is no sense in negotiating with a hiring manager who tells you "I know we talked about $80K but I couldn't get that much budget, so I'm making you this massively-discounted job offer, instead."
He or she should have told you about that earlier, before dragging you through the entire interview process! Walk away from a bad deal like this, because it cannot get better once you take the job.
Most of the time your manager is not trying to jerk you around, but your expectations and his or hers may have gotten confused. You're going to get your hiring manager (not a recruiter or HR person) on the phone and talk live with them about improving your offer so that you can accept the job.
You're going to explain how excited you are to begin your new job, if only you and your future boss can figure out a way to bridge the gap between what you need in a compensation package and what has been offered to you.
Here is a script for negotiating a job offer that comes in too low for you to accept it.
While you are negotiating with your possible next manager, be careful about a few things.
You may feel insulted that the company's job offer was low, but that shock to your system represents valuable, free sales training for you! Don't get upset about it. If you feel upset, you should walk away from the job opportunity altogether.
If you want the job as long as you and your manager can come to terms, then start a conversation about that — but be careful not to say any of these ten off-putting things.
Ten Things Never To Say While Negotiating A Job Offer
This offer is very surprising.
You can't say this for two reasons. Reason One is that you didn't get your salary expectations and your manager's salary expectations out on the table earlier or this lowball job offer situation would never have happened. You can't accuse the employer of having misled you or walked you down the garden path.
Who cares if you are surprised, if we are honest? Your emotional reaction has nothing to do with the question "Are you and this job a good match at this moment?"
The second reason you can't say "I'm surprised the offer is so low" is that by saying that, you're making the negotiation personal when it is actually a business transaction. No one who makes you a lowball offer is trying to insult you or put you down.
Your salary offer is very low for someone with my experience.
How will insulting the employer after they insulted you help you? It won't help. Either they know the market or they don't. You didn't make the case for your value during your interview process and no one is slamming you for that, so don't slam the employer for being out of step with prevailing salaries.
Just talk about bridging the gap between the offer you received and the offer you will be able to sign.
Let's do this deal – you're going to be happy you hired me!
Don't go there. They already made you a job offer. Begging for a pay increase in a salary negotiation is no better than begging for the job itself. Talk about the size and scope of the pain you are joining the organization to relieve, rather than about your own fabulousness.
If your hiring manager is nervous about going back to the VP and asking for another ten thousand dollars in salary to pay you, your self-praise won't make that conversation any easier.
I'm a really hard worker — I'll do the work of two people!
This is grovelly and it doesn't work. Your leverage in any negotiation is your ability to walk away. When you beg for the job at an increased level of pay you are still begging and that is not your best negotiation strategy.
I earned the salary you've offered me back in 1996.
This is not the employer's fault. If you think they are cheapskates then walk away. If you stick around to negotiate, talk about their pain and your value, strictly. What you earned in any past year is completely irrelevant.
I will offer you extra things (working on weekends or taking on an additional project) if you give me the salary I'm shooting for.
This is a terrible strategy. A full-time employee is presumed to be offering his or her best and most concerted work whenever he or she seeks a full-time job. There is no "standard" versus "premium" edition of you as a staff member. Don't invent one! You only diminish your own value when you talk about going above and beyond the offered position to justify a higher pay rate.
I can give up benefits and/or vacation time in order to help bridge the gap between your offer and my minimum salary.
Never offer to give up vacation time or other benefits, including medical benefits. You are worth what you are worth without having to sacrifice time off or employee benefits to get paid fairly.
Give me the salary I seek, check out my work for six months and if I'm not doing a great job, fire me!
They will fire you with or without your invitation to do so if they don't like your work, so this offer has no value whatsoever.
I can't pay my bills on the salary you offered me.
Irrelevant and desperate.
Try this instead: "I'd love to be able to accept this job, and if we can bridge the gap between your salary offer and my salary requirement, we're in business!"
If you can't improve on this offer, I'm going to have to walk away.
Try the positive approach instead of the negative one: "I'm excited to get on board and start working on projects. Can we get creative together on the phone right now and figure out a way to let me sign the offer letter and get going?"

State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) has signed a preliminary agreement to take an operating stake in Gujarat government firm Gujarat State Petroleum Corp (GSPC)'s KG basin gas block.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed last week has a dispute resolution mechanism set out wherein any differences over issues like valuation or natural gas reserves would be referred to a three-member committee of outside experts.
Sources said GPSC is keen to get ONGC on board to help tide over its difficulties in producing gas from the Deendayal fields, which a decade back were touted as the biggest discovery in India.
GSPC began trial production of a very small volume of gas from August 4, 2014 but has not yet reached commercial production. "Daily plateau production gas rate envisaged from Deen Dayal Upadhaya (DDN) West field is around 5.663 million standard cubic meters per day as per approved Field Development Plan (FDP) for a period of 14 years.
"There is problem of high pressure and high temperature in completion/drilling of wells in the field. No final date of commercial production has yet been given by operator (GSPC)," according to an RTI reply by the Oil Ministry's technical arm DGH.
Sources said this is perhaps for the first time that a MoU sets out a dispute resolution committee and it perhaps is indication of the pitfalls that ONGC anticipates in buying a stake in the block.
It has already differed with GSPC on the gas reserves the block holds and has appointed US-based consultant Ryder Scott to do an independent assessment.
The three-member committee will include economist and former oil secretary Vijay Kelkar and former CVC P Shankar.
Since the BJP-led government came to power at the Centre, the Gujarat government firm GSPC has been seeking to sell a majority stake in its KG-OSN-2001/3 (Deendayal) block in Bay of Bengal to ONGC to avoid defaulting on loans.
ONGC initially was not keen to buy stake in the block as it felt the block had reserves far less than what GSPC was claiming and the asking price for the stake was not commensurate with the returns. But it has relented lately.
GSPC was to begin gas production from the block in 2013 but after sinking in USD 3.6 billion it was found that gas reserves are one-tenth of 20 trillion cubic feet claimed in 2005 and that too is technically difficult to produce.
In the process it has amassed Rs 19,576 crore of debt, on which interest cost was Rs 1,804.06 crore in 2014-15, according to the CAG. And against this, its revenue was Rs 152.51 crore in 2014-15.

Ahn was sitting in her dressing room after the show in Baton Rouge. She was sitting with her leg up on the chair. I came into the dressing room, wearing a black sweater and jeans, with my usual smile.
I stood in front of her enjoying the view of her panties, then I walk over giving her a peck on the cheek as I made my way to the nearest chair and sat down. " How are you, Ahn?" " I'm fine," She said distractedly, trying to remember me. " Is my agent with you?" " No," I said. " He called asking me to come see your show." " Oh," She said, not registering.
She skinny bint has her tight asshole drilled in a moment that I was the possible investor in her music and band.
" Oh, sorry John for not recognizing you sooner." I shook my head. Ahn stood up standing close to me, my stubbled lower lip brushs her chin. She shakes her head against my face, her eyelashes brushing my eyes. My finger sifted up the hair at the back of her neck. I kiss her. "Just don't," She said. My hands tighten on her shoulders. " Why did you come here?" She said. She was uncomfortably pressing aganist me, thinking she was comfronting me. My hands wrapped around her arms holding her tight aganist me.
She was off-balance. My lips grazed her cheek, then pushed firmly into the corner of her mouth. " I can't-," She breathed into my mouth.
I look into her eyes. " Can't what?" I murmur. What was happening? Ahn couldn't stop me from pushing her back into the chair. Ahn could feel me begin slender beauty has her moist cunt plowed undue her blouse.
" John, don't-" She breathed into my mouth. Our tongues touching. Ahn didn't know what to do, as long as she kissed me she thought I'd leave the blouse alone. " Don't do something you'll regret," Ahn managed to gasp out as I caressed her midsection. I reached down and pulled her skirt up. I laid warm hands over her cold thighs. She jumped. " John!" Ahn tried to push me away and get up from the chair.
I lean in closer to her, " Where do you think you're goin'?" I chuckle. My hand filled with her hair pulling her back, forcing her towards me instead. Reflexively she looks at my face. I was smiling mischievously again, my eyes sparkling with that same sense of delight at her appearance that I had for quite sometime.
" I ain't done with you yet," I grin. " I ain't lettin' a sweet angel like you get away that easy." My hand pulls at her hair, drawing her head downward, " Get down there and suck my cock," I tell her. " You want to play on the dirty side, so play.
Suck me until I get hard. Suck my cock, sweet angel." My hand pulls harder, more insistently, guiding her down along my body. Instinctively she reachs out with one hand and grabs my soft cock, wrapping her fingers around it.
She feels the coating of sweat on it, intending to wipe the majority of the sweat off with her hand she strokes the limp cock with her fingers. Before she pulls on it twice I shove her face into my crotch, forcing her to engulf my cock in her mouth. She feels the limp member slip past her lips, feels it fill her mouth. As her taste buds were suddenly assaulted, her nose fills with the scent of musk mixed with my sweat, she feels repulsed. She whimpers as I shove her face further into my crotch, made her engulf my entire monster cock.
Reflexively she swallows, sucking on the soft member and rolls her tongue over it. " Yes, suck it, suck it good," I tell her. " You suck on my cock like a good little angel and I'll give you more of it in your pussy. I'll fuck your sweet little tight pussy hard." Ahn's body feels weakshe manages to hold herself up while I hold her face buried in my crotch, my cock held in her warm, wet mouth.
She rolls her tongue across the sweat coated pole again and again as she sucks on it deeply. Seconds later she feels me reaching down, feels my hand grabbing her thigh and tugging on it. " Get up here.
. . on your knees," I instruct her. " I wanna play with your pussy while you suck my cock." Struggling to keep my cock in her mouth she shifts and slides on to the sofa, pushing her ass up towards my head. When she got her body at an angle to me, her ass near my face, I make her climb onto her knees and spread her legs. In this new position she had her ass sticking into the air, with her legs parted so that I could stick my hand between them.
When my fingers brush across her swollen pussy lips her hips jerk in response. Sparks of passion runs through her body, warms her insides and fans the flames smoldering within her pussy. " Mmm-mmm," she whimpers around the flaccid cock between her lips. Ahn couldn't believe the way her passion is starting to burn, couldn't understand why she was becoming so aroused.
Instinctively she slides her knees on the sofa and spreads her legs further apart. Her hips pushing her crotch into my fingers as they play with her throbbing clit. In her mouth she feels my cock growing hard and twitchingsensing the first indications of it gaining life and she reflexively sucks harder. " Yes, suck it. Get me good and hard Ahn. " I breathe happily. My fingers playing with her pussy, stroking along her slit and slipping into her opening.
As two of my fingers penetrate her roughly, pushing inside and swirling against her upper wall she whimpers around my cock. Sloshing sounds reach her ears as my fingers begin to thrust in and out of her pussy, stirring the juices. My cock is hard between her lips. She swirls her tongue over it, sucking on it and sliding her lips up and down. With one hand she grasps the base and squeezes it. Her hunger building, she drops her hips lower, spreading her legs more, and pushing her cunt at my probing fingers.
" Mmm-mmm," she whimpers weakly as they drive deeper inside of her. I hold her hair, hold it tightly within my grasp as she sweet horny couple having great passionate sex her head up and down on my hard cock. Blood pumping into the member, making it hard and throbbing.
My fingers thrust harder into her pussy, pushing and rubbing inside of her with growing intensity. She feels her juices flowing heavily. Her tits were smashed against my thigh beneath her, the hard, sensitive nipples flattening into my hairs. " Mmm-mmm-mmmmmm," she whimpers as I push a third finger into her.
Her pussy growing hotter, her big black booty take on huge white dick building. Her hips starting to rock into my pumping fingers. She pants through her nose as she slides her lips up and down my cock, sucking hungrily on it. The duel actions of her pumping mouth and my driving fingers continue for several minutes with my rock hard cock throbbing painfully within her lips. Her own passions grow hotter from the actions too, her body responding to what is happening.
Her hips rocking faster on my fingers, pumping themselves with growing urgency. Suddenly one of my fingers slip from her wet pussy and pushes its way into her tight ass. The action was so swift and her state of arousal so intense that her sphincter never had a chance to tighten up, to prevent or even hamper the intrusion in the slightest.
My finger simply slides from within the hold of her pussy to be hot threesome session with a fit blonde european big tits past her little rose bud and into her anus with speed and ease. " Mmmm-mmm," she whimpers from the sudden sensation. Never before had Ahn's asshole been touched or probed in such a way, never had anyone even dared to come near it.
And now there she was, on a dressing room sofa on all fours, sucking a strange man's cock while I stuff my finger into her ass and roll it around a little. Through the thin membrane that separated them she feels the one finger rubbing against the two buried in her cunt, feeling my fingers wiggling and twisting in both her holes.
" Mmm-mmm," she whimpers as new, surprising sparks of lust races through her to fuel the heat within her pussy. " Mmmm-mmmm." Soon I begin to pump my fingers once again, pulling back then pushing forward all three fingers at once. The sensation of her two holes being simultaneously fucked like that causes Ahn to moan around my now completely hard cock, causing her hips to rock and push back at the assault.
" What a sweet upeksha swarnamali xxx sri lankan actress you have," I grunt behind her, my fingers pumping at her backside. " You ever have a hard thick cock in this sweet ass, Ahn?" The question causes Ahn to tense up as she realizes the implications of it. She feels her asshole tighten around my pumping finger, feeling her sphincter clenching around the finger. The action makes it difficult for me to continue my pushing and pulling actions, causing my fingers to freeze in place.
" Suck my cock, Ahn," I order roughly. The hand in her hair pushes down, stuffing her face into my crotch. She is forced to relax her throat and allow it to be penetrated by my hard thick cock, to deep throat the member. This causes the rest of her body to relax, her muscles to loosen, which was the effect that I desire. With the loosening up of her asshole my finger was able to probe at her ass with ease once more. Holding her face buried in my crotch for a moment, her nose pressed into my pubic hairs, my cock stuffing her mouth and throat, I used her body's vulnerability to slip a second finger from her cunt and into her ass.
This penetration of a second finger stretched her sphincter, sending bolts of pain coursing with ones of unrecognized pleasure to her lust filled pussy. Her body tenses with the desire she was feeling. As her head pushes up at the hand holding her face down, her ass jerked in the air. Once I had the second finger planted in her ass I allowed her to raise her face from my crotch.
She breathes in deeply with relief from the suffocating effect of having her throat blocked by my hard thick cock. Locking her fingers in place around its base she grips the member tightly to avoid another such assault. For a few minutes her ass remains still as I pump my fingers in and out of her different holes, now with only one in her wet cunt and the two stretching her sphincter.
I pumped them slower now, with less force and speed. Instead I seemed to slide them along with slow and deliberate ease, the two fingers rolling and twisting slightly as they stretch her pink hole slightly more with each passing second.
After a few dozen strokes I slid the fingers from her ass and push them into her cunt once more, rolling them around and coating them with her juices before pulling them back out and pushing them into her ass again.
I did this several more times while she continues to suck on my cock, sliding her lips up and down along its length, her tongue swirling over the fleshy pole. My treatment seemed to work on both her body and her mind. With each new insertion her sphincter seems less and less resistant to the penetration and with each removal her mind seems to be more unhappy with the loss.
Soon she was rocking her hips once again at my pumping fingers, rolling her ass in the air and humping herself at the fingers fucking her ass. " Mmm-mmm," she whimpers and mewes around my cock as the attentions stirred the flames of her lust higher and higher.
" Mmm-mmm." Sucking deeply she tastes my flesh and a small amount of precum. " Yes, Ahn. I can't wait to shove my cock in this sweet little ass of yours," I growl, pushing my fingers completely into her.
" This sweet, angel ass." This time when my words register it wasn't fear or trepidation that shot through Ahn's mind, instead a surprising sense of anticipation and desire.
" Mmm-mmm-mmmmmmmm," she whimpers, releasing the base of my cock with her hand and dropping her face freely into my crotch. A moment later I yank her mouth off of my cock, jerking it up and away with the fingers filled with her hair.
Busty hotties christy and kirsten fuck each other silly pull her away from my hard cock, pulling her lips from around it. As I did this I swung my body up and around with hers so that in an instant I was kneeling behind her as she remains on all fours on the dressing room sofa. The maneuverings made me remove my fingers from her holes and she whimpers from the mixture of their lose and the painful way I moved her. She feels my free hand lining my hard cock up with her wet pussy a second later she reflexively pushes back at it.
She was on her hands and knees, with her legs spread, her aching pussy being penetrated by my cock. Her long black hair was tied up in a knot around my clenching fingers, her head pulled back. Her bottom lip quivering, her eyes closed from the mixture of sensations shooting through her body. As soon as the first inches of my cock was enveloped within her wet pussy I released the base of it and grabbed a handful of her ass cheek, my fingers gripping the soft flesh tightly.
I then thrust myself forward, driving my cock completely into her, burying the entire length in her wetness. " God yes," I moan as I grind myself into her, rolling my hard cock around inside of her pussy. " That feels so good." Slowly I withdraw myself from her clasping muscles before driving forward again.
In quick succession I then pull myself back and ram forward several times, slamming my cock into her pussy with jack hammer force. Ahn rocks upon the sofa, ramming herself back at my hard charging cock and slamming her pussy along its length with each filling penetration.
Her passions were flaming inside of her, another orgasm beginning to emerge deep within her pussy as I thrust my cock in and out of her aching pussy. " Like it hard, don't you, Ahn?" I huffed as she whimpers several times. " Mmmoooooohhhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeeessssssssss," she groans. " Harder. Fuck me harder.
Mmm-mmm. Mmm-mmm." I pull on her hair, tugging her head back further. My other hand fills itself with one ass cheek as my thumb slips into her crack. While I slam myself forward, drilling my rigid cock deep into her wet cunt my thumb finds her sphincter and applies pressure. The tip of it pops past the small pink hole and into her anus. " Mmm-mmm. Mmm-mmm," she whimpers, her mouth falling open slightly.
My thumb rolls around in her ass a few times, stretching her sphincter open. Her body rocks faster into my cock as the feel of this throws fuel onto her raging pussy, causing her orgasm to move forward, closer to the brink.
" Mm-mmm-mm. Mmm-mmmm-mm." I slam into her several more times, honey gives an astonishing blowjob hardcore russian her orgasm closer and closer to the edge.
Her juices flowing wet and free around my cock, coating the fleshy pole as she fucks backwards into me. Her neck was bent back, her body arching downward as my hand pulls at her hair and forces her to move in this fashion.
Suddenly I stop thrusting my cock into her, withdraw it as I lean back away from her. The suddenness of this, the fast removal my hard cock from her spasming cunt, causes her orgasm to freeze in place and begin to fade back away. " Mmm-mmm-mmm," she whimpers. A second later she feels the tip of my cock brushing along the crack of her ass, feels my hand spreading her one ass cheek. My cock tip finds her sphincter and presses at it her body suddenly tenses, her muscles clenching and her asshole squeezing itself shut.
" Mmmm," she whimpers with a mixture of excitement and dread. " It's goin' in your ass, Ahn." I growl. My cock pushing at her tightened hole. "Just relax a little." The hand on her ass slids down and under her body. My fingers finds her pussy. One of them presses at her clit, rubbing the hard nub, while others dip into the wetness of her slit and strokes the walls of her opening. Bolts of excitement shot through her body from the touch, her passions being stoked.
Her body relaxing slightly as she pushes her pussy into those fingers. " Mmm-mmm." The tip of my cock presses into her sphincter and pushes past the very edges, slipping into her anus with slow, deliberate pressure. Between this and the feel of my fingers on her pussy her body went into a state of confusion, unsure of what to do or how to respond. Most of it, heated and aroused by the events that has transpired, wanting to relax and allow the penetration of her ass, wanting to feel my hard cock filling her ass and fucking her.
The other part, the part unaccustomed to such acts and now beginning to dredge up thoughts of pain and betrayal of her boyfriend, wanting me to stop and just put my cock back into her hungry cunt. The finger on her clit rolls the sensitive little nub, stroking it and sending more bolts of electricity through her. Reflexively her body rolls beneath me, her hips jerking backward slightly.
The action helps force the entire head of my cock to push into her ass, causing it to slip past her sphincter, stretching her open more. Shots of pain and surprise runs through her, mixing with the hunger her body was feeling. " I'm gonna fuck this sweet little ass of yours, Ahn." I told her with confidence. " Gonna stuff my cock deep into it." With the head of my cock completely inside her anus the full penetration was now only a matter of time.
Still stroking her hard clit and rubbing her pussy walls I slowly applied more and more pressure, pushing the first inches of my cock into her ass. Her body tenses then relaxes only to tense back up a second later. " Mmm-mm-mmmm," she whimpers. Once I had partially inserted my cock I begin to withdraw it, sliding it back until only the head remains inside of her.
I pause for a moment, allowing her body a small chance to get used to the feel of it. Ahn feels her sphincter gripping the circumference of the fleshy pole, feeling it clenching around the hard cock assaulting it. I slowly push forward once again I apply more pressure to her clit, rolling it around under my finger.
Her hips roll back at me, her body reflexively responding to the attention. Then I push a little more of my cock into her ass, pushing forward another inch or so before stopping and holding still. As I remain kneeling behind her, my cock halfway buried within her ass I rub and roll her clit, my other fingers caressing her slit and opening. " Mmm-mm-mmmm," she whimpers, her body squirming in front of me. " Mm-mm-mmmm." Once more I pull back until only the head of my cock remain then hold still for a second before pushing forward again.
This time as I slowly penetrate her ass with the rigid cock Ahn feels the fires in her lust filled pussy raging higher and hotter from the sensation. The heat causing her to push her ass back oiled up webcam girl rides her dildo into me, pushing herself down onto the length of my cock. Seconds later she feels my pelvis push against her ass cheeks, feels my corase pubic hairs scratching her soft flesh, and knew that my entire cock was buried inside her ass.
The two of us ground into one another then, rubbing against each other. " Feel that, Ahn? That's my cock in your ass. My entire cock." I tug harder on her hair, pulling her head further back and causing her body to bend downward more. " Mm-mmm-mm," Ahn whimpers. I pull back then, withdrawing most of my cock from her tight ass before pushing forward again.
This starts a rhythmic pace of me pulling back and pushing forward, steadily fucking her ass with the rigid thick cock. Ahn whimpers and mews as I thrust in and out, the sensation of my cock sliding along her sphincter, the feel of my hard thick rod filling her ass, fanning the flames in her pussy.
She rolls her hips, pumping herself back into me each time I push forward. I continue to rub and play with her swollen clit, massaging the hard nub while stroking her slit and caressing her pussy walls. As our pace steadily increases it becomes difficult. I pull my hand back around and fill it with her ass cheek, my fingers squeezing the soft flesh, gripping and digging into her.
" Mmm-mm-mm," Ahn whimpers, her body rocking faster, her ass jerking into the squeezing hand. " That's it, Ahn. Fuck my cock with your ass," I growled. I squeezed her ass cheek, digging my fingers into her pliant flesh as the speed of their fucking increases.
My cock slids back and forth in her ass, slipping along the edges of her sphincter. Horny college girl fucked by a friend pumped and pounded our bodies at one another. Ahn feels the orgasm re-emerging, rolling along her heated pussy toward the edge of release. She rolls her ass into me, pushing herself at my now driving cock as she moans and whimpers more pigtail blonde camgirl live webcam show jincamcom each thrust.
Her breasts rock beneath her, the hard nipples sticking down and being brushed by the air swishing past them. The fingers in her hair tugged at her, pulling her neck back and forcing her back to arch downward more.
" Mmm-mm-mmmm," she whimpers as the orgasm grew closer to exploding within her. " Mm-mm-mmmm." " Yes, fuck my cock with your ass, Ahn. Fuck me with your ass." Ahn's body begins quivering, her nerves twitching with the impending orgasm.
She mews loudly, whimpering as she bent her head further back and jammed her ass onto my cock again and again. I sense what was happening, understood that she was on the brink of cumming and suddenly stop thrusting my cock into her. I froze with the entire length of it buried deep within her, my pelvis grinding hard against her soft ass cheeks.
The suddenness of this, the quick halt to the pumping of her ass which had been driving Ahn's orgasm to release, causes the sensation to stop, to freeze as it sat teetering on the cusp of exploding and to recede slightly.
" Mmm-mmm-mm," Ahn whimpers hungrily. Her ass ground back into me as she rolls herself against the cock filling her ass. Her body quivering and twitching from once again being refused the orgasm.
Needed fully she rocks upon her knees with limited mobility as I hold myself tightly against her, keeping her from fucking my cock in and out of her ass. After a moment of this I pull back, completely withdrawing my cock from her ass.
Ahn whimpers again with the loss. As the head of my cock pops out of her tightly clinging ass jerking her head to the side, the hand on her hip pushing her as well. Ahn iss tossed down onto the sofa rolling onto her back with the rough actions.
Releasing her hair for the moment I grab both of her legs and swung them onto my shoulders, effectively spreading her open to me and lifting her ass upwards. " You're liking it in your ass, ain't you Ahn?" I chuckle as I position myself. " You like having my cock in that sweet ass of yours." " Mmm-mmm," she mews in dejected agreement. Laying upon the bed with her legs over his shoulders, her long tresses splayed out wildly around her face, she looked at him from under heavy lids, her bottom lip quivering.
On her chest her large tits rolled and swayed as her body was maneuvered, her nipples standing out straight and hard. In her crotch her pussy shined with her wetness, her juices shimmering as they coated her flesh. Her lips puffed out, displayed wetly by the moisture glistening in her fine, downy hairs.
Below that her asshole lay still gaping open slightly from the stretching of the cock that had invaded it. Seconds later she feels the tip of my cock pressing at her pussy, feeling the head slipping into her opening and filling her with one steady thrust. Ahn's head rolls back, her eyes close and she pushs herself at the penetrating cock.
" Mmm-mmm," she mews with delight. " Gonna get it lubed up again," I groan as I push forward. " Get my cock all wet with your juices so I can fuck your ass some more." Ahn whimpers in response to my words, her body and mind tormented by the different sensations she was feeling.
She feels my cock filling her pussy, feeling its rigidity stroking along her walls with delicious delight. She wants this to continue, wants my cock to fuck her pussy, to slam into her pussy and drive her orgasm forward. At the same time she wants that delicious cock to be filling her ass once more, to feel its stiffness ramming into her to bring her orgasm forth that way. She laid there whimpering and moaning as I push myself in and out of her cunt several times, her juices coating my cock.
Her tits rolling with the actions, her body rocking beneath me as I slam her pussy with my hard cock. The feel of it reignites the torches of her orgasm, pushing it back toward existences moist and wild twat licking pornstar hardcore. " Mm-mmm-mmm." After several strokes I withdraw my cock and hot angel goes from giggles hardcore bondage whimpers sadly. Quickly I line it up with her sphincter and push forward.
Although the opening had started to recoup from my previous assault, the muscles re-tightening, the mixture of having already been opened and the new supply of juices coating my cock and having ran down from her drenched pussy made this new entrance go easier and smoother.
Like the first time though I enter her slowly, pressing my hips forward with slow, deliberate force. The head of my cock pushs past her opening, stretchs the hole back out and allows the length of me to follow.
As her ass was steadily filled by my rigid cock I reach down and brush a thumb across her swollen clit. " Mmm-mmoooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh," Ahn cries, her hips jerking, her ass jumping down my shaft. "Mm-mm-mm." The orgasm that had twice been halted suddenly explodes inside of her. Tidal waves of pleasure washs through her entire body, earth quaking shocks rumbles through her. Her head flew back, her eyes clamping shut, her mouth hanging open. Blast after blast of lust inspired delirium explodes inside of her.
With the entire length of my cock buried deep in her ass I grind myself into her while playing with her clit. Ahn's hips jump and jerk at me, her ass pumping into my pelvis in short, rapid strokes.
" You like that, Ahn?" I smile. " Yes, yes, yes," she pants, her ass humping crazily. " Ooohhh, fuck my ass. Fuck my ass with your cock." The hand not playing with her clit reachs up and fills its fingers with her hair again.
Her head is jerked sideways as I yanked on her long tresses, pulling her body into a slight sideways arch. Holding her like this I pull back a couple of inches then ram my cock forward again, alicia toys her juicy hairy pussy with a toy tube porn it into her.
The orgasm sends Ahn to new heights of pleasure exploding through her, huge waves of lust crashes against her. " Oohhh God. Do it again. Fuck my ass hard. Fuck it hard." Ahn had never before said such things, never before spoken so crudely to any man.
No man has ever fucked her ass or brought her to such an orgasm. I quickly give her what she asks for. Slipping back a few inches I slam into her again, simultaneously jerking on her hair and stroking my thumb across her clit. Ahn cries out again, her body jumping under the feel of so many sensations. I drive my cock forward I pull my hand away from her pussy and grab one of her tits.
My fingers dig into the soft flesh, squeezing and mauling her firm mound. This throws new fuel onto her orgasm as it continues to roll through her with more and more waves of pleasure.
" Mmmoooohhhhhh God yes," she moans. " Fuck my ass hard. Fuck my ass with your cock. Fuck it. Fuck it. Fuck iiiiitttttttt." He began a steady, rhythmic fucking of her asshole then, pumping his cock in and out, slamming it into her with each forward thrust.
The orgasm caused more juices to flow in her sex and they leaked out, running down along her flesh to coat his cock and her sphincter.
The lubrication added to her lust and made his pounding cock slip and slide in and out of her with greater ease, allowed it to fuck her with limited hindrance. As her orgasm continued to wash through her then slowly subside, her body quivered under his assault, her tits rolling on her chest with one of them covered by his hand and being massaged hungrily. Her head was pulled to one side, her tresses locked in his fingers and being pulled on, drawing at her scalp. Her hips jumped upon the motel room bed, her ass jerking its way upon his cock as he pounded it into her.
Gone were any lingering thoughts of her husband or the betrayal she was performing. Gone were any concerns about anything other than the feel of this man's cock fucking her ass with ruthless abandon. "Mmm-mmm-mm," she whimpered as her body quaked through the aftershocks of her orgasm. "Mmm-mmm-mm." I'm slamming my cock into her, jerking on her hair and squeezing hard on her tit.
Her hard, sensitive nipple lay beneath my palm, flattened and caressed by my rough hand. I grunt and groan above her, telling her how good her ass feels around my cock and how much she looks like an angel being fucked deliriously. I exclaim about how she likes having my cock in her ass, telling her that she was an ass-fuck loving little bitch. And she agrees. She tells me she loves my cock in her ass, that she wants it harder, that she wants it faster.
She whimpers and mews under the verbal assault, she is exploding with this additional new experience. " Mmooohhhhh God yes," she cries as my pistoning cock brought another orgasm toward release. " Fuck my ass harder. Ooohhh God, fuck my ass with your cock. Fuck it. Fuck it harder. F u c k i t h a r d - eeeeeeerrrrrrrr." The new orgasm explodes inside of her as her body was quivering from the previous one's aftershocks.
She rams her ass down along my cock as I'm thrusting it into her with extreme force, slamming it into her like a jack hammer. Her head tries to pull to the opposite direction and I jerk it back with a hard yank. Ahn's body rises up and crams her tit into my mauling hand, flattening the soft mound under my squeezing fingers. She feels my cock growing harder inside her as it slams into her, pulling and pushing at her ass.
Her body instinctively tightens the muscles surrounding that hard pole and milk it hungrily. As her orgasm crashes through her body, sending tidal waves of passion coursing along her nerves, she feels me bury the length of myself in her ass, feeling my cock throbbing and jerking inside her. A second later she hears real french maid fucks her ass and pussy with dildo live on grunt as the first shot of cum sprays into her ass, the warm liquid washing and coating her insides.
" Mmmmoooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," she mews excitedly. Her body rocking and quaking its way through her orgasm as my cock shoots spray after spray of cum into her, the hard pole throbbing and jerking wildly as it unleashs the load from my balls.
Several moments later the two climaxes are over and I drop onto the sofa, away from her, my softening peter north and angel kelly are back at it again o slipping easily from her ass. Ahn's legs fall onto the sofa, her body slumping weakly into the sofa's support as I release her hair and the hold on her tit. Together we lay panting, our chests rising as we gasp for air.
Ahn's body iss coated in sweat, her nerves twitching as the aftershocks roll through her. She rolls onto her side, brought her legs partially together as cum leaks from her ass and her lust juices shimmer across her pubic area. Her tits showing red marks, the nipples shining red and hard for several minutes as her body relaxes. " You better get cleaned up," I told her after catching my breath. " Don't want your manager to see you with your body like that." " Mmmm," she manages to agree quietly.
I rose up and stepped from the sofa. Standing above her, my naked body covered with sweat, my now limp cock hanging down, I stared down at her. " I'm leavin' day after tomorrow," I grinned.
" If ya wanna come to my hotel room tomorrow I'll be there." With that I turned and walked toward the bathroom, disappearing behind the closed door. Ahn hears the shower, its water spraying against the back wall. Weakly she pulls herself from the sofa and reaching for her cloths.
Her mind screaming at her, cursing her for what she had done while instructing her to hurry up and go take a shower herself. As she dresses and steps toward the door to leave she tells herself that she would not go to the hotel the next day, that this had not only been a one time thing but that it was wrong and she shouldn't have done it at all.
But as she stepped out into the hall a quiver runs through her body as she remembers the way it had felt and she found her resolve quickly weakening.
