When I (Alice!) was twelve, I was in the sixth grade and had a friend named Annie I had known since I was first grade. She lived in the next block and we spent more time together than we did with anyone else. We used to play jacks, tag, hide and go seek, dolls, and all the other things.
We were also both readers and sometimes just sat together and read for hours. We would spend the night frequently at each other's houses. I was average size and she was average for her age, 11. She was in the 5th grade. Neither of us had boobs yet, but I was just noticing little bumps, more than used to be. I hadn't started my periods either or gotten more than two long hairs over my slit. I did have a little hair under my arms now.
My mom told me all about periods and sex and babies when I was eleven last year. She showed how everything worked and what it was called and even stuck her finger inside me so I could feel it and then had me do it myself.
She showed me my clit and rubbed it and then had me do it. She had some pictures she showed me, as she said, just so I would know. It was pics of her and my dad, who died in a car accident 3 years ago, having sex and showing me his thing she called a dick, and prick, and schlong, and penis and cock, and weiner. She said guys use all of those names, also Peter and John. I asked her if I could see her what she told me was a pussy, vulva, and where she put her finger, vagina.
She said it would only be fair. So she pulled off her jeans and panties lay down on my bed and spread her legs. She said take a good look, and ask anything you want. So I moved over where I could see real good, and asked her if it was OK if I could feel her pussy. She said I guess so. So I spread her slit apart and looked at her clit. I asked if I could rub it, and she said oh all right. I started to rub it and and got bigger and felt harder, she was breathing different and I asked her why she was breathing so hard.
She said because when you do that it feels really good. Didn't it feel good when I showed you? I said yes it did. Then I put a finger inside her vagina, to feel what a woman felt like inside. I felt something hard all the way in like a little bump.
I said what is that mom? She said that is the cervix it is the where the womb or uteris and vagina join. The sperm that a man shoots into you has to go through that to find the egg where it can join to make a baby like you were.
I said thanks, mom, can I see how many fingers I can get inside, since you are so much bigger than me? She said OK, but if you don't mind, keep rubbing my clit, it really feels good and don't mind if I start yelling or moving around I will explain later.
I said OK and put two fingers, then three, then four, then my whole hand inside her. Wow I didn't know it would fit. She said don't take it out, and move it in and out slow then speed up when I tell you and don't stop rubbing my clit. So I continued and pretty soon she was moaning and making strange noises and moving all over the place.
The she suddenly shrieked, arched her back and quit moving. She lay like that for a minute or two, then collapsed on to the bed with some really deep breaths. I said Mom, are you OK, what happened? She said Alice dear, you just gave me my first orgasm in 3 years, I love you honey, hope you didn't mind me taking advantage of you to pleasure me. I said no Mom, I loved doing it and it was so nice to see you so happy. Then I said what is an organism mom?
She said no, honey, it is orgasm, it means you have had the best feeling experience in sex that you can. It is also called cumming, and climax. Men can only do it once then they can't again for a while. But women can sometimes do it over and over for a while. You are only 12 and haven't started your period, but let me see if I can give you one. So strip down and lay on your back, I also want you to suck on my nipples while I do it, that should enhance your experience I think.
Mom, like I did when I was a baby? Yes, dear, it feels really good. Here let me see if you can enjoy it yet. So she put her mouth down on my nipple and began tickling it with her tongue and sucking on me.
It felt really good and I started to feel some feelings in my belly and then in my pussy too. I told her, hey Mom, that really feels nice. She said OK dear, and she felt my pussy saying well no surprise, it really got you wet.
So she straddled my body, but I couldn't reach her tits so she moved back so I could.
I took hold of one and put the nipple to my mouth. Then she started rubbing my clit and also pushing two fingers inside my vagina.
I never felt anything so good. She started moving her fingers in and out and also around and around, then I felt a shock as she touched one place inside and my clit was exploding with feeling too. I started to tingle all over and felt like my whole body was on fire. I was panting and making involuntary sounds, I started moving my hips faster and faster, then all of a sudden it was like fireworks and a whole body shock, and it kept on while she kept her hands working on me.
I shrieked, and froze up, then collapsed. After I could speak again, I said, MOM, was that an orgasm? She said it sure was baby, and a very good one too, your very first one. Now I want you to know this, it is fine for you to play with your parts as much as you want to but you can't ever do it in public, OK?
I said you mean I can make myself feel that good too? She said you sure can. Then she said I have a present for you, I got it last year but wanted to wait until the time was ready and now is the time. She went to her dresser in her room and came back with something in her hand. She put it down on the bed and said this is a vibrator and also called a dildo. You use it inside you in place if a man.
She showed me how to put the batteries in it and how to turn it on and regulate the speed. She said, Alice, do you want to try it now? I told her yes I would like to, but would you do it and show me how? She said of course darling. She turned it on and ran it around my incipient breasts and nipples. I said hey that tickles but feels good.
Then she said how about this now? She put the tip against my clit and rubbed it. With the vibration and the rubbing I felt like I might orgasm again.
She stopped and said now Alice, this is how you use it in your vagina, you can fuck yourself with it. You should do it at least 3 times a week, and all your body will benefit and your boobies will grow faster. I said thank you mommy I can hardly wait to get my real boobs.
So she slowly pushed it into my little virgin hole. She worked it all around and in and out, and it wasn't long before I was screaming into another orgasm. After I recovered and she was just lightly moving it in and out, I said, Mom, that felt sooo good. She said OK dear, now I want to see you do it and make yourself cum, so I know you are OK with it.
I also looked closely at your vaginal opening and what little hymen, remember what I told you about the maidenhead, you had, is never going to be problem, I think the vibrator has stretched and moved it aside enough.
Some girls have a thick one that goes all the way over the entry, but that's not you, thankfully. Before they can get a man inside them, they have to have it surgically cut by a doctor. I said isn't that painful, and she replied, not very much. Your dad got mine and it tore a little but the pain was only for a few minutes and not bad.
OK Alice go to it, now, make yourself cum hard, and here is my nipple to suck on too. I began to push the vibrator in and out my little pussy and she told me to not forget to rub my clit too. So I am rubbing my clit and fucking myself with the dildo, and feeling better and better, suddenly THERE IT IS!! My back voluntarily arched and I froze just like she did while all I could feel in the whole world was just my pussy and clit.
This went on forever, I thought, then it slowly dwindled and I fell back on the bed. She caressed my whole body with her loving hand, and kissed my lips saying what a sweet little woman I have. Now I want to tell you some things. It is ok if you and your friend want to play like that, I didn't tell you about one thing, though. It's called cunnilingus or eating pussy. Scoot down the bed a little. I did and she got over me with her knees about on each side of my head.
She put her mouth down on my pussy and started licking me and sucking my clit and labia into her mouth. It felt so good.
She lifted her head, and said, Alice, you do it to me, too. When two people do it together it is called the 69 position. I put my tongue out and began to lick her pussy, sticking my tongue inside the folds and trying to find her vagina to stick my tongue in it. She really tasted strange, but I liked it, and she seemed to be dripping that good juice all over my face, I swallowed as much as I could, but I soon had to quit as I was just about to orgasm again and couldn't do two things at once.
Once again I exploded, and thought I felt something squirt out of me, afraid I had peed on my mom's face, I asked her after if I really did pee on her? She said now don't worry, dear, some women squirt when they come, and maybe you are one that will most of the time. It isn't pee, just more of that nice juice you make. Now I want to caution you, you may do this with Annie all you two want to, but don't take a chance on doing it at her house, I don't know her mom well enough to know if she would accept that.
I told her that Annie's mom had never told her anything about sex, but I was planning to tell her soon, and I would love to show her what you showed me Mom. My mom said, that's a good girl Alice, you are a very caring friend and Annie is lucky to have you.
I think she is very sweet girl and wouldn't have minded having her for my own daughter. Then she told me that I would probably want to have a boy fuck me before many years went by. She said that when that time came, it would be OK to do it here, and even have him sleep over, but before we did, she wanted to have a talk with both of us. She made me promise that I would not do it on my own, or let a boy get me to do it.
She told me also that when I started dating boys, they would want to play with my tits and pussy and want me to suck on their dick and have them cum in my mouth.
I asked her what it tasted like, she said it is a little different depending on what they have eaten. But it is fairly tasteless and very slippery. Again if you and a boy want to experiment just bring him over to our house, and I will let him know its OK and its safe here. I wouldn't want some cop finding you fucking in his car. I told her that she was the best mom a girl could ever have. I said what about Annie? Can she bring her boyfriends over here too?
Right away she told me that of course she could. But the three of us needed to have a little conference soon so Annie would know the score. She said for that we better wait until after you have taught her all you know and the two of you are comfortable having sex here with each other.
And its ok to show her how to use your vibrator, I might even consider getting her one, but if she took it home and her mom found it both of us might be in trouble. By the way, be sure to wash it off good every time you use it. Oh I almost forgot, I did get you some condoms, a lot of people just call them rubbers, you can use one on the vibrator then you don't have to wash it, just toss the condom.
I said what are those Mom? She said wait a minute and went back into her room and gave me a package of something. She took one little pack out and opened it, then she took the vibrator and unrolled it on the vibrator. She said this is the way you put on a boy's dick too, then when he fucks you and cums it will keep you from getting pregnant. Mom, I can't get pregnant, you said so, until I have my periods. Well, little girl, just cautioning you now, since when you are ready you must keep that in mind.
Mom, don't call me little girl, you said I am a woman now. OK she said, just a technicality. Until you have been fucked by a boy you are still a virgin and some people think not a real woman. Oh, I said, so that is what that means. She said yes it is. Now you have had a really good sexual experience for your first time, and I forgot to tell you, when two girls do it like we did it is called lesbian sex, and when two guys do it it is called gay sex.
But some people men or women like to have sex with both boys and girls, and we call those people bisexual. She said I had never heard of that but I heard some boys call others queer, fag, and gay. Mom said it is the same thing but you should never put anyone down for being what they are. They are just born that way and can't help what they like. And it should be OK for anyone to be whatever way they want.
Maybe some day, everyone can accept that. And the boys like to tease or torment other boys with those terms. Now take the vibrator and roll the condom up off of it and then for practice put it back on again, while I make sure you do it ok. That's it, now pull it down tight. Now put it back in your pussy for a minute and fuck yourself with it.
I turned on the vibrator to high speed and did it for a few minutes and almost had another orgasm. She said I think that's enough for one day. Let us get dressed and go out for dinner to celebrate your becoming a young lady. She said pick out what you like best to wear. So she got dressed and I went into my room and got my prettiest little dress she had bought me.
It was a pale blue velvet. Then I put on the blue stone necklace she gave for my last birthday, and a ring she gave me. I brushed my hair and we were ready to go.
She then asked me if I would like to take Annie with us, and maybe have her stay over tonight, as it was Friday night. I jumped at the chance and said I would love that Mom. She said OK, wait, I will call her mom and fix it for you.
So she did. We went over to pick up Annie and she brought a little satchel with her extra clothes. Then Mom said, I have a surprise for you. I said what is it now? She said Annie is not going home until Sunday night. I gave Mom a huge hug and a kiss before we got back in the car to go eat. We went to a real nice restaurant a little ways from home but not downtown. Annie and I talked in the car about what had happened at school last week and how nasty one of the boys had been to her. We went in and got our table, and Mom said we could have anything on the menu we wanted.
I took the red snapper and Annie took a small steak. After dinner, Mom asked if we wanted dessert. We both piped up loudly YES! So I got a chocolate ice cream sundae and Annie got a banana split. Mom paid the bill and then we went home to my house.
Annie got her satchel and brought it up to my room, and Mom said what do you girls want to do? I told her we would just go into my room and do stuff. She said OK, if you need anything or get hungry again let me know. Why don't you take some sodas and chips up to your room to munch on?
I said good idea Mom, so we did. So after we got settled into my room with our drinks, two each! I told Annie that I really had some stuff to show her that she needed to know. She asked me, why do I need to know it? I told her that you said your mom didn't tell you anything about sex, or periods. Since I am your best friend for life, I have made it my job to tell you and show you what your mom must be afraid to do. She said to me, Oh Alice, you are so wonderful, I hope we can always be together.
I said to her even if we get married and have kids I will still want to spend time with you. She said there is a program on TV I want to watch and it will be on in a few minutes. I told Annie, good! I will watch it with you. So we watched a silly cartoon about a bear and an airplane and air pirates.
We both liked it. By then it was 10 o'clock. I said we ought to get ready for bed. She said why don't we go into the bathroom and wash each other's hair and then get a shower. I said you mean together, naked? She said, of course silly, haven't we done it before?
I giggled and said oh, I guess I forgot. Heehee I really didn't. So we each shed our clothes rapidly and went into the bathroom that is mine. It opens into my room. She said let me do yours first.
So I agreed and put my head over the sink. Then I said, wait a minute, its easier to do this in the shower anyway. So she turned on the water in the shower to get warm. It is really a tub with a shower, and it has glass sliding doors, or maybe they are plastic, I don't know. When the water was right, we both got into the tub and closed the doors then turned the water into the shower.
I had a flexible hose type you can move around. I found out it felt really good on my pussy. She has long black shiny straight hair and blue eyes with skin that is slightly tan. I have long red hair, and am very fair. I have to stay out of the sun as much as I can, or I will burn. I did that once and believe me I don't want to do it again. My eyes are green. Her nipples are dark red and mine are light pink. Hers have a bigger dark circle around them than I do. Neither one of have any pussy hair to speak of, well yes, I do have TWO!
I have just started to get wider hips than my waist, but she is still straight up and down. I have little titty bumps and she is still flat as a board.
Funny thing though, her actual nipples stick out more than mine do. So she started washing my hair, then rinsing it off.
My turn she told me. So I washed her hair and then rinsed it. I said now you have to wash me. So she started with my face, then my neck, and then did my whole back. I told her not to miss all of my rear crack, so she spread it and washed the crack. Then I turned around and she washed my front, playing and tweaking my nipples.
I told her that felt good, why don't you try sucking on them? So she sucked on in her mouth and it felt really good, then I told her to do the other one too. That felt better yet. I said OK, wash my front and legs. So she carefully ran the washcloth all over my belly and legs, and did my feet as I lifted them for her. I said you forgot something. She said what, I thought I washed all of you. I said how about between my legs. She said Uh, oh yeah.
Well I can't wash you there if you don't put them farther apart. I spread real wide and said to her, is this OK? She told me that was good enough, and started with the washrag washing both sides. I said hey, you haven't done the middle. She said like how? I said get your finger wet, but don't get too much soap on it, then rub inside pulling me apart. She said like this, and began spreading my lips and rubbing her finger all over my clit. It really felt good but she didn't know that, so I let her keep on cautioning her to not get any soap in my pee hole.
Then I told her you still aren't done. She said what now? I said you have to get your fingers wet without soap and stick them inside me, she said in your butt? I said no dummy, in my pussy, she said I have been washing your pussy. I said get down there and look, as I spread myself wide apart. Don't you see a hole in front of my bhole? She said, yes, is it OK, it looks like it might hurt, its all red.
I said no my sweet Alice, all girls have one, you too, and that is were babies come out, and something else goes in like your fingers will now. She said won't it hurt? I said of course not silly, it will really feel good. So go ahead and stick a finger inside as far as you can, wiggle it around, then add another one, wiggle it around, then see if theree will fit in me.
She got three inside it felt so good, I was afraid I would cum again if she kept it up, but I told her to see if all her fingers would go in. She could only get 4 in it sort of hurt when she tried them all.
So I told her that I would wash her now. I started with her face, neck and back. Then I had her turn around.
I really played around her bhole a little too, but she didn't say anything. She just looked like she liked it. Next I surprised her by sucking hard on her left nipple. She gasped OH, but didn't stop me.
Then I did her right nipple. She didn't have any more, so started washing her top front and moved down to her belly and then did her legs skipping her pussy.
She said, Alice aren't you going to wash my pussy like I did yours? I said of course, silly. Move your legs apart for me. So I soaped and rubbed her clit. It got pretty stiff and big while I was doing it and she was breathing harder than normal.
I then moved down to her vagina and started fingering her. She had never had anything in it before. She said, Alice, what are doing to me, it feels good. I told her the same thing I had you do to me.
I kept it up and got three fingers inside her. It didn't hurt her any, so I guess she didn't have much of a barrier maidenhead.
Anyway after I got through with her tonight she would never have to worry about that thing again. When I finished, I said, well my sweet Annie, how did you like that? Didn't it feel good? She said it really did I don't know why it made me feel so funny and breathe so hard. I said you will know shortly, but first lets dry each other off and blow dry our hair.
I had two blow dryers so we did each others at the same time. We decided to have our other drinks and the rest of the chips before anything else. I said hey don't put on your gown, let's sleep naked. She agreed and we got in bed and finished our snack.
I told her that now I wanted to tell her about sex and stuff. So I asked her to lay down on her back and spread her legs apart. I was sitting between them and I started rubbing her belly as I talked. I said Annie, my mom and I talked about everything today and she showed me some things too. I learned that sex feels really good, better than anything else. I found out that the hole you saw and felt me pushing into you, is where boys stick their stickyout thing.
She said what thing? She had never seen a naked boy or man. I said instead of a slit like us girls have, boys have this funny stuff between their legs.Mom showed me a picture, it was my dad. There is like a little sack of something that looks funny and wrinkled hanging down and then this sort of bendy pipe like thing with a bump on the end of it. I told her they call it lots of names. My mom said it is really a penis, but boys call it a prick, a dick, a peter, and some other names I don't remember.
It doesn't always stick out, but mom said when they see a naked girl or just tits they usually get it to stick out and it is really hard, like wood. Then they want to stick in your hole.
Annie said, ewww, I bet it must hurt. I said, Annie, did it hurt when my fingers were inside you? She said, no, it felt real good. I told her mom said it always feels good, especially when he shoots some stuff out of it into you. She goes eeew. I said hey silly, that's how babies are made. That is how WE were made by our parents. She asked me, really? I said for sure. Mom said that when we get older we will want a boy to stick his thing inside our hole and fuck us. She said, you said a bad word.
I said no that is what doing it is called. It's called fucking. I was figuring out what I should tell her next. I really wanted to play with her like me and mom did, but she wasn't ready for that yet.
I said Annie, you are eleven now, right? She said yes I won't be twelve for another six months. I told her, here is what is going to happen to you. You have seen older girls, and how they have tits and nice small waists?
She said yes, but I don't look like that. I said it is something that takes time to do. When you are 12 or 13 or maybe even a year or two later, every month you are going to bleed from that hole.
Oh yeah, it is called your vagina. At the end of it, is a little tight thing sort of like a bhole, and that is where the place babies grow is on the other side. They grow in your womb or uteris my mom said. That bleeding is called your period. Haven't you ever heard any older girls mention it? She said I don't know any older girls. Is that why my mom buys those things called tampons every month?
I said yes, it is so you don't bleed all over your clothes, you stick them inside and they absorb the blood.
Will it hurt when I bleed? I told her my mom said it doesn't, and it only lasts a few days. Like I said things will happen to your body, see my nipples, and how they are now sitting on little bumps? She said yes, but I'm still flat. I told her that by the time she is 14 she will have nice boobies and all the boys will want to see and touch them.
Mom told me it feels really good to have them touched, like it did when I sucked on your nipples. She said my mom told me to stay away from boys.
I said for now that's a good idea, but when we are older we can go out on dates. Now mom told me if you or me want to fuck a boy, we can bring them here and it will be safe.
Alice, she screamed, I don't want to fuck a boy. I said remember how it felt with my fingers? She said yeah, I said its better than that. I told her now it was time to start learning how sex feels, even though we did some in the shower. She said, you mean that was sex? I told her it was, but we can do more. So I told her to just relax and enjoy everything I did to her. I had moved my hand to just over her pussy on her little bump over it, and was squeezing it.
I then put my mouth right on her clit and began moving my tongue all around it with it sucked into my mouth. It got bigger and hard real fast. She also started breathing fast too. Then I put my hand inside her vagina and started moving it in and out and around in circles too.
She was now really panting, and started moaning. I thought I wonder if I can make her cum for her first time. So I started working on her faster and faster, she suddenly went AHHHHHHHHHHH, and arched her back way up, and stayed perfectly still making strange sounds for a minute or two, then she said stop it's too much, I can't stand any more, but Alice, that was so good. I told her Guess what? You just had your first orgasm.
She of course said, what is that? And I told her just what you did. She said nothing ever felt so good before. I said now Annie, you need to find out how to do it to me. Mom made me do that three times today. Besides an orgasm it is also called cumming. So I cummed three times already today. So you trade places with me and do exactly what I was doing to you. She moved her naked 11 year old body down betwen my 12 year old legs which were widely spread, and hesitantly put her face near my pussy.
I told her don't be afraid go ahead, it will taste good. So she jumped right in and started to suck on my clit, I told her to put everything she could in her mouth and suck on it as well as move her tongue around.
I also had to tell her to stick her fingers in me. I said Annie, make your fingers move like I did for you. Well it only took me about 5 minutes and I was also screaming my head off.
A few minutes later I heard a knock on my door, and mom said, I thought someone was hurt, I heard you in the living room. I answered mom, its ok, come on in. Annie turned bright red when mom walked in the door. Mom said I see you girls were having a good time.Weren't you Annie? Annie blushed again and got redder and said, I,I,I,I,I,I guess so. You aren't mad at us for doing this are you?
My mom answered Annie and said my darling girl, of course I am not mad at either of you. I am glad that Alice was willing to teach you so much, since your mom seems afraid to talk to you about this stuff. Alice told me that she was going to teach you about sex and periods and babies today. I think it is wonderful that you girls are so close to each other that she can do that for you since your mom won't. You are old enough now to really need to know about things so you won't be surprised when you start bleeding and wonder why.
I want you to know that it is ok with me for you two to pleasure each other whenever you want to when you are over here. But I don't think you should say anything to your mom about it.If she ever decides to talk with you about it, your best thing to do is just pretend you don't know anything and its all new to you, and then ask her some normal questions.
Alice, honey, did you show her your vibrator yet? No mom I was going to do it now. She said OK Alice show her about the condoms too and explain why you need them with boys. I said, hey Annie, I got something really neat to show you. Mom gave it to me today. Mom, you want to stay and watch me show her?
Mom said well only if it's OK with Annie. Annie said you can stay I would like that. Sit on the bed by us. So I got up and told Alice to lay back down like she was before. I went to my dresser and got out the dildo and vibrator. I sat down by her, mom on the other side, and showed her how to turn it on and how to put the batteries in. Then I got the same condom we used earlier and showed her how to put it on the dildo.
Next I made her do it, so she would know how and how to put it on a boys dick. Annie asked mom if she could see the same pictures she showed me today. Mom said, that was all right and she went to get them.
While mom was gone I told her now I am going to make you cum again with the vibrator. I moved it all around her wet little clit, which was soon sticking straight up and out, then I pushed into her little hole and started fucking her with it. She was soon on the way to orgasm heaven. Just then mom came back. When mom sat down Annie had another screaming orgasm. I took the vibrator out and stuck it in me. After she calmed back down, we all sat on the edge of the bed on each side of mom, and she showed us the pictures of dad with a hard long dick, and with a soft little dick, and then pictures of them fucking in several positions she named for us: missionary, reverse missionary, doggy style, cowboy, and reverse cowboy.
She also showed us several positions on the sides of them with his big dick stuck inside her pussy. I still had the vibrator in me at top speed. She said I will tell you both one other thing it's on the last two pictures. We both said at the same time, what is that? She said well you girls call it a bhole I think. But you can have a penis inserted there too, and believe me it really feels good.
You can use the vibrator for that but be sure you have a condom on it and use some lotion on the outside and on a finger you stick in first, so it goes in easy. Then she showed us a picture of her on her hands and knees and her butt up in the air. Dad had his dick sticking in her bhole.
Then another picture she was on her back with her legs held up over her head and he also had his dick in her bhole. She again assured us that bhole fucking was very good, and we should try it on each other.
So I got into the doggy position and told mom to go ahead and fuck my bhole with the vibrator. She said OK, Annie watch. She reached between my legs and pulled the vibrator out. Then she turned it off. She put the condom on it, and then put lots of lotion on it.
Next she put lots of it on her index finger and rubbed it around my bhole. THEN she stuck her finger inside me and wiggled it.
It really felt good. She asked me if I was ready to get fucked. Annie snickered. I said right now do it mom. So she pushed the tip of vibrator in slowly with it turned off. It was a little tight but didn't really hurt hardly at all. In a second or two it didn't hurt at all, and she had about half of it in me. Then she turned it on, stuck her fingers in my pussy and rubbed my clit and I had a big cum in less than seven minutes.
Annie yelled, NOW ME! Mom said OK if you are sure you want it. Annie said yes and I want you to do it to me. So mom pulled it out, threw away the condom put another one on it and lotioned it up then asked me to put lotion on my fingers and grease Annie up good.
It felt good to rub Annie's bhole and then to stick a finger in her. She was whimpering Alice thats good do more. Finally mom said, Annie, are you ready to get your butt fucked? Annie laughed and said, yes fuck me. I never heard her say fuck before. Mom gave the same treatment to her she did to me, she slowly inserted it into her tight little bhole a little at a time just twisting it and pushing it in.
When it was about half way inside Annie, mom told me to put my fingers in her pussy and rub her clit. Well I tell you, within a few minutes she was bucking like a horse in a rodeo and moaning her head off. Then she exploded. It took her a whole five minutes to go back to breathing normally. Mom said, you girls go clean up your pussies and bholes and go to bed now. So we went into the bathroom and had some fun cleaning each other up.
We both had to pee too. I said lets watch each other pee. So she sat on the toilet and spread her legs real wide. She reached down and held her sides open. I could see where it was coming out. I never was sure of that place before. When she was done we traded places but I asked her to pull my sides apart. She did and watched me until I was done. When we got back into the bed, I put my pussy over her mouth, and my mouth over her pussy and said let's sleep like this tonight.
The light was still on and mom returned to see if we were ok. She was surprised I guess, she said OH, now you want some 69 too? Annie said what's that. I told her it was what we were doing right now and told her to lick and suck me, and I started on her. Two or three more orgasms each and we had to give it up and go to sleep.
I am thinking, this is only Friday night. She can stay two more days, and we can fuck all day if we want to.
I like fucking.

5 Tips for Delivering Tough Feedback that Fuels Performance
The ability to give tough feedback ranks as one of the most important and difficult of leadership skills. Before we go on, let's define "tough feedback."
Many think tough feedback is always negative, like bad news. It implies the recipient has messed up or done something wrong. That's not necessarily true.
Tough by definition is "unyielding, firm, durable." So it's more useful to think of tough feedback in that context—it may be uncomfortable for someone to hear what is being said simply because it's not consistent with how they view themselves.
Here are five coaching tips to help your clients provide tough feedback that will get through to their employees and, more importantly, help them grow.
1. The 6-to-1 ratio
There's a number of theories you can encourage your clients to follow that suggests the best balance between positive and constructive feedback. The one I have recommended to clients comes from leadership consultants Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman. Their research shows the ideal ratio of praise to criticism is 6:1—the highest-performing teams were nearly six positive comments for every negative one.
Getting the ratio of positive to negative feedback right is important. What made the greatest difference between the most and least successful teams, according to Zenger and Folkman, was the ratio of positive comments. This isn't the same as "candy coating" or softening the message. It's about achieving the right balance.
2. Don't stockpile tough feedback
This follows directly from the 6:1 rule-of-thumb. If your clients wait for a "timely moment" to deliver all of their tough feedback in one meeting, they risk setting the stage for a difficult if not overwhelming meeting for their employee. This may lead to disengagement that can fuel tension rather than resolve a potential performance or behavioral problem.
Difficult performance conversations are also best held as soon as your clients become aware of a performance issue with a member of their team instead of waiting for the "right time" where issues may lack context and fall prey to poor memories.
3. Link tough feedback to goal progress
Tough feedback is more likely to have a positive impact on motivating an employee if it's tied to something practical like their progress on a goal. Ayelet Fishbach, a professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, proposes that "positive feedback motivates goal pursuit when it signals an increase in goal commitment, whereas negative feedback motivates goal pursuit when it signals insufficient goal progress."
For your frontline manager clients, this also underscores the importance of establishing clear goals with employees and talking about their progress on a regular basis. A conversation about goal progress provides the opportunity for your clients to share feedback that will motivate rather than demoralize an employee. This approach to providing feedback can help your clients keep their team focused and productive on what's important.
4. Make it specific
The usefulness of any feedback, positive or negative, is amplified when your feedback is specific, timely and targeted. Saying something like "Look, you are consistently late with your projects and that really needs to change" is a bit vague. As you can see, there are a number of key and helpful details missing. If your clients take this approach to giving tough feedback, they won't be seeing any change in behavior. How many projects is the employee late with? How late were they? The absence of specifics doesn't set the stage for performance improvement.
Instead, they should say something like "Over the last three months, four of your past five projects have been completed one week after the agreed upon project deadline without any explanation. That makes our team look disorganized. What can you do to manage expectations and your projects better?"
The specifics of the second approach establish instant credibility for the manager's criticism and a foundation for addressing the performance concern. It also provides the opportunity to have a dialogue about what can be done differently in the future.
5. Don't beat around the bush
Most people appreciate getting bad news or constructive criticism in an upfront, straightforward manner. A 2014 survey by Zenger and Folkman found that 72 percent of respondents thought their performance would improve if their managers provided corrective feedback. That number rose to 92 percent when the caveat of "if delivered appropriately" was added. A sugarcoated message risks an employee not even realizing that their manager is actually being critical of their performance.
One coaching tip I've found useful, particularly when I have had to give tough feedback, is to prepare in advance what I want to say. This helps ensure I can clearly convey the meaning in a way that is constructive, not confrontational or lecturing.
Be clear about what needs to be said and say it
The goal of feedback, positive or negative, is to provide useful insights about the performance or behavior of another person. Unfortunately, many leaders mistakenly try to soften the message, which makes it more difficult to articulate the point they are trying to get across. The result is a confusing message that won't really have an impact one way or another.
Giving tough feedback is seldom fun. However, when delivered correctly, it can be the most valuable feedback your client can give to an employee. Following these five tips will help them deliver that feedback like a leader while motivating their employee to peak performance.

A student is a student
A small aircraft of the Scandinavian airline SAS landed at the Cracow airport. Planes would not touch down frequently back then and there were not that many visitors. When you appeared in the terminal building with your legendary coat hung over your shoulder, you had no difficulties in recognising us. Two youngsters and Ajzik the dog with whom you met immediately. How many times did we laughed later that there were just us, you, the dog and several soldiers at the airport.
That was the reality of that year 1999. We were proud of Polish achievements made over the decade following the regaining of independence after communist rule yet we also knew how much still remained to be done. We, fresh university graduates with no money, wanted to remove inequalities and exclusion, youthfully naive and wishing to move mountains. You, in the prime of life and hugely experienced, with a brilliant mind, good stature and contacts, decided to help us achieve just that.
That evening, and maybe the following one, you invited us to a Corsican restaurant. Never before had we been to such an eatery. I remember us eating chips with garlic, some refined meat and that strange apple pie served hot whose French name I had heard for the first time back then. And we were drinking very good wine.
You were an adviser to the Danish government then while all we had were our romantic visions. You told us that to have a vision was a lot. I thought you were joking. Now I obviously know you were right.
Those words must have been spoken exactly during our first meeting ever. You asked what the duty of a university student was and we were wondering how to provide you with a neat answer. You were prompting us trying to mislead us: to be nice to your teachers (indeed), to have fun (obviously), to meet some cool people (fair enough), yet the key duty of each student, including those with disabilities, was to have good results and pass examinations. And then there was the other part of the question: 'What is the obligation of the university? To ensure conditions for those students to take examinations on an equal footing with others, to be fair in assessing them, not to allow any negative – but equally positive – discrimination as well as to do everything in its power so that they can achieve increasingly good results which in the labour market will not make them any different from other graduates,' you were saying.
How many times, over that period of twenty years, in various locations in Poland and elsewhere in Europe, have we recounted that 'a student is a student' story and quoted your questions? How many times have our audiences been surprised that such students also deserve equal treatment? It was seemingly simple yet you will remember how frustrated I was when things were going slowly. When eighteen years later we were on a raft on the River Dunajec, we concluded, however, that the plan, once sketched out in a Corsican restaurant and based on a youthful romantic vision, had been actually implemented.
For a dollar
Maybe I asked you that question back then in Aarhus, when were sitting with your people and a group of Poles I had gathered from various universities who were keen to learn something from you. Maybe then and maybe on some other occasion, yet the story about one dollar surely made the whole Polish delegation laugh to tears. They had heard it for the first time, I – far from it – yet I just always loved it.
The 1960s. A group of Danish students set off for summer holidays wondering where to go. 'We have been to France, Spain as well, and in Germany we are frequently,' they debated, 'but we have not yet been to Poland.' 'Yes, but Poland is a country behind the Iron Curtain,' some were expressing their fears. The bravest, obviously including Willy Aastrup, were excited about the prospect and managed to push the trip trough. Despite some travel difficulties and their ignorance of the local language, the holidays in Poland proved highly interesting for the group of friends.
'We did not have lots of money, yet enough to have good fun in Poland. We were always received with kindness and great hospitality. I remember fantastic dinners. What we ate was very tasty and homemade. They offered us Russian bubbly at one place and Polish home-brewed booze at another. I would then produce a dollar and ask whether that was a decent payment. It was always enough and the hosts were thrilled.'
To conclude, you used to frequently add: 'Can you just imagine that, to get all that for a single dollar?' and the Polish listeners would burst with laughter. When we had finally learnt to tell that story together, I would say the memorable closing words: 'Forget it, Willy. You will not get anything for a dollar in this country any more, best not to come here without a thick wallet.'
And so in 1999 you wanted to be reminded what this strange country lying on the Vistula looked like after the systemic transformation as you remembered it with fondness from your student years. I have always told you that your advice given to me cost a dollar. I then need to thank my fellow countrymen of the sixties for preparing the ground for it.
Parchment made of embryos
The Vistula and San Rivers, the Polish Jura, the Karkonosze and Bieszczady mountains and the River Dunajec: you developed a liking for that Polish nature although you did not always expressed it with burning emotions. Well, that is how Scandinavians are. Yet when we were sitting at a bonfire in Wetlina tasting local cheeses and looking at the Milky Way you were describing to me, I clearly sensed that fascination. It was probably then that we discussed how to talk to blind persons about stars, the horizon and the Milky Way. Do you remember how we made a stop at the Pod Małą Rawką mountain hut from where we were looking at mountain peaks enthusing about them? I found funny your somewhat fearful question whether Ukraine was truly lying over there. Bieszczady-related themes kept recurring in our memories for many years.
When at the Jagiellonian Library we were provided with very old books to look at, you told me that I had probably been the first person to have touched them with their own hands after two hundred years. It did not matter that there were cotton gloves on those hands of mine. The atmosphere became elevated, as it happens in that noble Library. Yet everyone laughed at the words you had spoken. Those were truly extraordinary books. Their parchment pages had been made centuries before of embryos of lambs, maybe just like those that grew to become their sisters living in Bieszczady. Thanks to their milk, we were able to eat delicious sheep milk cheese in Wetlina. We discussed cheeses, books and many other things at the main Market Square in Cracow in the evening, over your favourite coffee. You would light your pipe that oozed a tempting aroma, we opened a good wine and talked late into the night. Then we would take a walk along the lanes of the Old Town ending up in Poselska Street, where you liked to stay.
A blind surgeon
A seminar, another one and yet one more. You ask serious university people whether Mr Białek sitting here could be a surgeon; to general bafflement, although everyone knows he could not yet will not say that out loud. You say that in the case of that particular profession and that particular disability it is impossible but people with some other disabilities could become surgeons and should not be discriminated against. You give another example: women are medical students nowadays but a century before no one could imagine that and they could study fine arts at best. Consequently, we must accept that what was impossible some time ago due to the stage of development and mentality is a social norm now and not stunning anyone. It is a reasonable example yet you are taken for a radical as you claim publicly what everyone quietly considers to be obvious: as a blind man, Mr Białek cannot be a surgeon. People who on a daily basis do not necessarily make Mr Białek's life easier protest at your words – that Aastrup goes slightly too far – they say, and I reply to them that as someone directly affected I think exactly like that radical from Denmark.
'You do not let me be a surgeon, Willy,' we are laughing in the evening over Ripasso. It is thanks to you that I know good Ripasso. Poor Willy, considered a cool-headed rationalist by romantics and an incorrigible romantic to rationalists.
'Let us give it up,' I said to you then, 'no one understands us. You have been in business, maybe we could think of something together?'
'You inhabit a certain sine curve, Irek. Once at the bottom, then at the top, yet one day you will glide high,' you said, puffing away on your pipe.
Yes, I know
When I take my iPhone in my hand and look at the contact list, you are in the first place. Well, your surname starts with a double a, so it is only natural. Yet even if it started with a z – yes, I know, you would still be in the first place.
I have grown very much used to activating that double a by voice and then I learn about your assessment of my place on the sine curve, after which we talk about everything, lately much about music.
Penderecki, Lutosławski – you stress how much appreciated they are in Scandinavia, and Polish jazz players, obviously. I would like to reach for something more relatable and local, but there is more play on words there – potentially ambiguous and vague – while you have always liked to have a full understanding of things. Maybe it does not matter that much now?
Yes, I know that we are not going to take photos again.
Yes, I know that your legendary coat will not brush against me in Gołębia Street any more.
Yes, I know that the period of twenty years after university studies is sufficiently long for a youngster to become a mature man who does need to hold your arm.
Yes, I know that now it is I who should give other people an arm to hold on to.
Yes, I know it all. Still, I would like to be able to double-touch that icon with the double a and hear on the other side a pipe being puffed on and your words: 'Hello Irek, this is Willy. How are things going on?'

Very odd issue I'm having with an Asus N16 with the latest release (54): periodically the router will boot all distant wireless connections (unfortunately it's located rather far from the main usage area) until I log in from close by and activate the wireless site survey (under Tools). At that point it will reconnect all distant clients (and show a higher signal strength on the close one).
Any idea how to either keep this from happening or have it auto-correct itself?

It has been a busy week for me on the Instagram front. I have been blogging like no other and posting my usual style, beauty and lifestyle images. I have to say that I'm loving this time of year, I've always been more of an Autumn/Winter girl. Between building up my AW14 wardrobe, travelling, event going and of course the big one, Halloween, it is by far my favourite time of year.
Today I'm sharing a few of my favourite images that I've posted in the past week. From the standard Monday Blues ( A Megan Hess illustration) to oriental style florals, there is quite a random mixture of cuteness. Oooh and keep an eye out for MAC's fabulous collaboration with the Rocky Horror Picture Show! The excitement! ♥
Happy Hump Day. Hope all of you rascals are having a beaut of a day. See you Friday! 😉

Have you ever wondered what it is like to start, groom and grow and ultimately sell a business in Singapore? And what kind of negotiation techniques can be successful for the entrepreneur?
Come and hear about it first-hand from Jes Johansen (MBA alumni of 2001), who has done exactly that.
Jes is the co-founder and CEO of Store Friendly Self Storage Group Pte Ltd (storefriendly), which he started in Singapore in 2011.
storefriendly is a franchise holding business specializing in self-storage. The company was built and sold within four years, with an original exit format: instead of selling the franchise holding entiry itself, Jes elected to buy back all 10 franchisees, and then sold the whole package as a selfoperating business to SingPost – a company that already owns another self-storage business and through this transaction could add scale, while taking out a competitor.
After selling the company in late 2015, Jes stayed with the company for 12 months under an earnout arrangement. Upon completion of the earn-out, a brand buy-out agreement was negotiated, which meant founders could retake control of the brand for added compensation, while the buyer could focus on operating under one brand.
Before starting storefriendly in Singapore, Jes supplied partition materials to self-storage companies in Asia and having been "bitten by the self-storage bug" Jes decided it was time to introduce a new self-storage product to Singapore and East Asian markets.
Jes will discuss the process of starting a company in Singapore, growing pains, competitive analysis, the franchise model and buy-back, valuation aspects and deal negotiation. He will also focus on the 'hesitant entrepreneur' aspect and what, in his mind, it takes to be an entrepreneur.
Come prepared with questions! We expect the session to be highly interactive and fluid.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
12:00 - 12:15 Registration
12:15 - 13:30 Lunch and discussion

In terms of health and wellness, it's important to let of go the old in order to make room for the new. Whether it's around weight loss, food choices, exercise, and so on, it's important to take inventory. What's working for you? What isn't?
At least 45 percent of Americans suffers from some type of food intolerance, which is akin to a milder form of an allergy. In contrast to allergies, food intolerant reactions can manifest up to 72 hours after exposure. Food intolerant reactions rarely need medical attention, but can certainly reduce the quality of life and cause chronic illness. Symptoms can range from sluggish weight loss, skin problems, gastrointestinal distress, excess mucus, lethargy, and so on.
You might not even realize that the foods you eat on a daily basis are causing you issues. Maybe you've accepted these symptoms as simply par-for-the-course of being human in the modern age. Or maybe you've begun to recognize how poorly you feel but don't know exactly how to fix it. That's when I suggest going on the Elimination Diet. It's very basic and very effective. Here's how it works:
1) First, identify how often you eat any of the Top Five Usual Suspects, the foods or ingredients people most often react to. There are many others and I can help you figure out what might be your trigger, but the most commons ones are:
- Cow's-milk products
- Gluten-containing grains (wheat, including spelt and kamut; rye; barley; triticale; and oats if they are from a company that processes on machines that also process gluten-containing grains).
- Soy
- Yeast and yeast-containing products
- Peanuts
2) Pick one and only one of the above foods to eliminate first. Use your intuition as to which one you think might be causing your symptoms. It's important that you only eliminate one food group at at time to more accurately determine which is causing issues.
3) Completely eliminate that food group from your diet. Read labels. Seek the support of a professional health coach to help you decipher which of your favorite foods might contain your trigger ingredient. Eliminate that food 100% for 2 to 4 weeks. If you slip, don't beat yourself up but do start over.
4) Record your reactions before, during, and after. Notice the subtleties. Are you sleeping better, having easier bowel movements, or have more sustained energy throughout the day?
5) Reintroduce a small amount of the food at every meal for the next 3 days. If you notice any adverse symptoms, immediately stop consumption. If you notice no issues after 3 days, assume that food is not the cause of your problems and start over the Elimination Diet with a new possible suspect.
6) Once you discover the culprit (and there could be multiple), completely eliminate it for 90 days. You should be able to gradually and occasionally reintroduce the food without issue. If you start experiencing symptoms again, you may need to eliminate the food for longer until your system is completely cleared.
I know it can feel overwhelming to eliminate your favorite foods. But I guarantee you that if you are like most Americans, having not a full-blown illness but low-level illness and general malaise, you will experience great results from trying out this elimination. If you want more support in clearing out your system and finding the foods that work and don't work for you, I am here as your personal, professional health coach.

International Space Station managers have targeted Aug. 21 for the next spacewalk at the orbiting lab. NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Andrew Morgan will work outside in the vacuum of space to install a new commercial crew docking port, the International Docking Adapter-3 (IDA-3).
Robotics controllers will remove the IDA-3 from the trunk of the SpaceX Dragon two days before the spacewalk and ready it for the six-and-a-half hour installation job. Hague and Morgan will install and configure the new docking adapter to the top of the Harmony module. Once connected, the IDA-3 will be ready to receive new Boeing and SpaceX crew ships.
Meanwhile, the six Expedition 60 crewmembers kept the station humming on Wednesday performing new microgravity research and maintaining life support systems. Biology and physics research in space reveals new phenomena potentially benefiting humans both on Earth and in space.
NASA astronaut Christina Koch serviced the new BioFabrication Facility today to help scientists take advantage of the properties of weightlessness to successfully print and grow human organs. Earth's gravity can inhibit 3-D bioprinters and incubators from recreating and growing complex organic structures.
Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency (ESA) researched possible causes for neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. The crew is examining protein samples for amyloid formation that differ from samples observed on Earth. Results may inform preventative therapies for Earthlings and astronauts on long-term missions.
Students on Earth are learning how to maneuver tiny satellites inside the station today. Morgan set up a pair of basketball-sized SPHERES satellites controlled by student-written algorithms. The middle school kids are practicing rendezvous and docking techniques in the Kibo laboratory module.
Hague is setting up material samples for robotic installation outside Kibo. The Japanese robotic arm, smaller cousin to the Canadarm2, will remove the scientific samples from the module's airlock and install them on an external platform. Researchers observe the exposed materials to understand the effects of microgravity and space radiation.

There's a great post at J-Walk about Dr. Michael J. Bisconti's reasons we shouldn't elect a woman president.
- God has commanded that women shall NOT lead nations. This commandment of God is found in the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, the Word of God.
- God has commanded that women shall NOT lead men. In leading nations, women would be leading men. Therefore, women cannot lead nations. The commandment of God that women shall NOT lead men is found in the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, the Word of God.
- History teaches us that EVERY great nation experienced a decline in power and reputation once a woman was given the leadership of each of these nations.
- Women are more likely to make wrong decisions than men. This truth is stated in the Bible and proven by history.
- Women generally do NOT have the mental and physical stamina required by the position of the President of the United States of America.
- Currently, all those women interested in becoming president are women of only average character and intelligence.
- Women do not have the political pull of men, which is required to be effective in the position of the President of the United States.
- Women do not have the political will of men. They are more likely to waver in their views and decisions than men.
- A woman would not have the support of the American people. The latest poll reveals that 90% of men and 95% OF WOMEN are against having a woman as president.
- A woman would be incapacitated more than 3% of the time because of natural, physiological events. What if this happened during a time of national crisis such as the "9/11 Attack"?
- Women generally score a minimum of 20 points lower on IQ tests than men. We need the smartest person in the presidency.
- One woman currently interested in becoming president has the wrong motives for becoming president.
So there you have it. God is against the idea. Also, women are kind of dumb — which has been proven by history. Oh and they menstruate. The J-Walk post also brings to our attention Dr. Bisconti's "How to Tell If You Act like a Slut", which includes this lovely schematic to help illiterate women figure out how to dress:

The Real Tuesday Weld's Book Soundtrack Gets a Creepy Stop-Motion Love Story [VIDEO]
When it comes to The Real Tuesday Weld's newest album The Last Werewolf: A Soundtrack, there's something for everyone, whether you like music, books or the visual. This Music Monday, however, we're highlighting the visual in particular: a creepy, yet sweet stop-motion animation video for the track, "Tear Us Apart."
The Last Werewolf: A Soundtrack [iTunes link] is just that. However, it's not a series of songs meant to accompany a film, but a companion to a book with the same name by Glen Duncan. Stephen Coates, the man behind The Real Tuesday Weld, previously worked with Duncan on a soundtrack to his book, I, Lucifer.
"When we did it the first time it came out of a drunken idea in a pub one night: 'Let's do a soundtrack to a book,'" he says. "We were quite surprised that other people didn't start to do it, so we thought we'd do it again ourselves."
While the video is "about the moon and transformation," according to Coates, it's not a direct take on the book itself. The director, Alex de Campi, created it without any knowledge of the book, instead basing it on the song. "I wanted to refer tangentially to the book, however, so I started off with the moon, and the idea of a love triangle — and of a wolf and a doe," she says. "Out of that, and out of what the noises in the song suggested to me, came the absurdist love story in the film."
"I love working with filmmakers because they hear your music in a different way than you hear it, and their images are different images than you have," Coates says of the final product. "It brings something else to the music. It brings a whole different interpretation to the song."

Maybe it would have been better if the exact locations of anime shops in singapore were stated
Thanks for sharing the tips and tricks!
I am currently a Cosplayer Photographer but I do have plans in mind to cosplay some day (when I finally get the right body shape for the characters that suit my personality).
Director, Project JeForceX
* Better Life with Japanese Popular Culture *
Hi all, i hope u dun mind if i post my questions here. I have been thinking of cosplaying since i joined the forums but due to various reasons, never execute my plans at all. I would like to know if going solo is a good idea since i do not seem to have the group of friends who is committed to cosplay, willing to take me under their wing so i can learn all about cosplaying? And also because of certain fear (putting contact lens for the first time) which is stopping me from proceeding with the plans. Hope u can give me some tips on this
P.S Please ignore this post if you think its a stupid question >.<
I don't usually wear contacts... unless the color is v different.
You cna get the colored daily contacts. they are more comfortable.
i think i got 10 pairs at $48 or something... they are more exp too though.
get the optician shop to go through everything with you, from how to wear it to how to care for it.
Mmm... tell u what...
do your best in making your costume, go to events, find a coser of your fav series, go high with them and then make friends.
the cosplay community if quite small and tight knit.
i'm sure your newly made friend will intro u to more friends in the cosplay circle!
Personally, I totally hesitated in getting contacts for a while too, because I am a persistent blinker and also fear putting anything near my eye. In the end I still got contacts, spent 2 hours putting them in for the first time and after a while, with enough practice, it does get easier, and you will get over that fear.
As Tesun said, go for an event in cosplay, have fun and make friends and soon you will enjoy it so much you wonder why you waited so long to cosplay

Savage Words, this rules system made me like again the role-playing games, no less !
I play RPGs since my childhood and I only bought at that time the Shadowrun 2nd book. I never really liked the main RPGs books. Many complicated rules systems often promoting competition between the players and nitpicking about the rules
And one day, by a miracle, I came upon this appealing short book in a RPGs store.
Energy, simplicity, wish to play, creativity, not expensive, user-friendly size, these are all the good points that came in my mind when I first read this book.
This rules system was and is still a terrific tool to create my settings and get my friends to discover the RPG. Around the table, this system promotes fun, laughs, heroism, while giving a large choice of evolution for the characters. The players are happy and everyone plays without a headache.
This rule system is really fun and easy to use. It uses the d4-d6-d8-d10-d12, which is really fun and not repetitive. The rules are really adjustable even by improvising and it is really easy to give your players what they want.
About probabilities, this rule system makes the job even if people in fond of mathematics might consider it a little bit unbalanced. The most important is that it brings fun and adventure, and this is what I expect from a RPG.
About improvisation Savage Worlds is a fantastic system for me who really like to improvise. You are not limited by technical points and with a few numbers you just have created what you wanted : a non-player character, an object, an enemy…
If you need to read a rule it is done in less than 5 minutes. If you don't find what you were looking for or if the rule really doesn't satisfy your players, in 5 minutes you should be able to create the good rule.
Of course the ruleset book will quickly shows its limits for a particular setting, but Pinnacle Entertainment has published a huge amount of settings and you will surely find what you need.
Like I already said, you will more over be able to adapt with ease you favored movie, video game or book by creating your own gear, characters and rules. You will also find a lot of free stuff on internet, you could start by looking on my website 😉
As for me, all my RPGs are played with the Savage Worlds' rules. I am also the dungeon master on a D&D5th table and I am working on my own system, mainly thought like Savage Worlds but with a lot of modifications to satisfy my own way of playing a RPG. I will make an article on it when it will be done and it will allow me to create my own games, not only settings.
The last word : you want to try, give another chance or simplify the RPGs, buy Savage Worlds !

When NBA TV at Turner Studios wanted a technologically advanced basketball studio that would appeal to the NBA player of today and their audience, it turned to scenic, lighting, and graphic design firm Innovative Show Design (ISD). Based in Orlando FL, ISD delivered a 360-degree studio, inside of which fit an NBA-regulated half court with a three-point line and basket.
"We wanted the design to display the glitz and glamour of the game," recalls Justin Garrone, Associate Artistic Director for ISD, which specializes in broadcast television and live events and whose clients include NBC, ESPN, and Poker PROductions. "Considering the game is constantly moving, we wanted the set to have a sense of motion. We also looked at the arcs created by the ball when a player shoots it. Every corner and edge of the set reflects this."
In addition to rendering its files and adding texturing and lighting to achieve extra realism with CINEMA 4D software, ISD relied heavily on Vectorworks Spotlight software to ensure its measurements were correct. This came down to quarters of inches as the firm made changes to shape sizes and scales to ensure accuracy.
"Upon receiving measurements from the NBA, we recreated the court in Vectorworks, placing the court inside the studio drawing to make sure it fit," says Garrone. "Then, we built the scenic wall around the court where we were limited on space. The walls, therefore, act as the out-of-bounds lines."
ISD sent the Vectorworks construction drawings it created for the set to its fabrication shop, also a Vectorworks user, which used the files to extract a list of materials needed to build the set. In addition, ISD's machine tool vendor exported cut commands from the files so his machines could create the set's parts. This seamless, collaborative workflow proved to be a slam dunk for the entire team.

Tropical Dreaming
Spelly and I are on another designing trip in Bali. Our minds are so full of ideas and designs and endless possibilities that sometimes we just look at eachother and burst out laughing!
Yesterday we took a break from designing in the city and took ourselves on a day-trip Ubud. The lush hillside town has a special place in my heart – on my first trip to Ubud (blogged here) I stumbled upon a silk painting factory and convinced them to take me on as an intern for a couple of days.
We had lunch at a dreamy organic cafe called Sari Organik set in in the middle of a huge expanse of rice paddy fields. As far as you could see lush green fields of unharvested rice spread out to the mountainous horizon. Storm clouds heavy with tropic thunder brewed in the distance. The location inspired a quick inspiro-shoot channeling that 'lone girl on a journey' feeling that we love!
Vintage afghan jewellery & our crochet leather travel bag available soon.

Serves: 6
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 1 hour 30 min
- 1 pound bacon
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- ¼ red onion, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup button mushrooms, diced
- ½ cup dill relish
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg
For the caramelized onions
- 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
- salt, to taste
For the garnishes
- ½ – 1 cup The Honest Stand Smoked Cheese Sauce*
- 2-3 jalapeños, thinly sliced
- cilantro, roughly chopped
- Preheat oven 350 degrees F. Line a baking baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Place all bacon on the wire rack and into oven to bake for 12-15 minutes, until crispy. Place bacon on paper towels and then add 3 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat into a large sauté pan – this will be used to caramelize the onions later on. Dice bacon into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, mix together ½ the diced bacon, beef, pork, red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, almond flour, mushrooms, dill relish, both mustards, salt and garlic powder and 1 egg. Use your clean hands to mix all of the ingredients until completely combine. Press mixture into a parchment paper lined 9×5 loaf pan (lining it with parchment paper helps with easy removal later on). Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, until the meat is completely cooked through in the middle to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- When the meatloaf goes in the oven, add the thinly sliced onions to the pan with the rendered bacon fat and turn heat up to medium-low. Toss onions in the bacon fat and let cook down for 30+ minutes. The slower they cook, the more they will caramelize and not burn. Toss onions every few minutes to help cook evenly throughout. Cook until sweet and brown. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and toss. Keep on low heat until meatloaf is done cooking.
- Once meatloaf is cooked through, let cool for a few minutes then dispose of the excess liquid left behind in the pan and remove meatloaf from pan.
- Pour smoked cheese on top of meatloaf, then top with caramelized onions, bacon, jalapeños and cilantro then slice up before serving!
*don't have this brand in your area yet? that's quite all right! top your meatloaf with Cassy's Nacho Cheese instead!
