  I am very excited to be doing my second interview today with one of my favorite bloggers and very close friend's, Tiggr. I'd like to thank her very much for participating in this new series and letting me interview her. I am really enjoying my new series and have a few more interviews lined up for the next few weeks. If anyone else is interested in being interviewed/reviewed for their blog, please let me know at shyanne.blog@gmail.com. I'm really hoping others will participate in this new series here at Journey to the Darkside.
It's a great way for other reader's to get to know you and your blog and hopefully bring some new traffic to your blog. Please let me know if your interested. I also have a new graphic for the padme's interviews. As far as I know, Tiggr is the only one who's put it up on her blog. Thanks Tiggr for helping me with this brand new series. I hope everyone enjoyed my last interview with Katie Spades: The Princess of Spanking. If you missed it, just click HERE and check it out!!
I've put up a few holiday blinkies on this blog and padme's devotions. I wanted to get into the holiday cheer. We have put up our tree and I got a lot of Christmas shopping done today and am happy about that. It's a little over a month away now and the malls are getting nuts now. I couldn't believe how busy Wal mart was today.
Onto the interview..Some of my reader's may know who Tiggr is. I have mentioned her in a few different blog post's. She was my online Domme for a while and is a good friend of mine. Please check out her blog, A Spanking Good Time if you havn't had a chance! She's one of the most creative blogger's that I know. She has many different series on her blog and I have participated in a few of them like Fantasy Friday (A public spanking) and Wankable Wednesday. Master Anakin has also participated in Wankable Wednesday also. She also has a series called Tiggr talk which is a great way to ask questions and get to know her better. She updates her blog frequently and always has fun and different creative ideas going on her blog. She's one of my daily read's and I recommend her blog to everyone. Please drop by and say hello to Tiggr and tell her I sent you. *winks* :) I'd like to thank her for letting me put up a very hot photo of her also today for the interview. The "lady in red" photo is very erotic and beautiful!! Thanks Tiggr!
Interview with Tiggr:
1. Q: What is the name of your blog? A:" A Spanking Good Time! "
Q: How long have you been blogging? A:" I started ASGT nearly seven months ago (at the end of May, 2006). I’d been reading several spanking blogs on and off for a couple of years and eventually dared to come out of the shadows on Patty’s and Bonnie’s blogs a few times, finally finding the courage to comment sporadically. "
Q: How did you come up with the name Tiggr? A: "I’d used a couple of different pseudonyms on other people’s blogs but finally settled on Tigger not long before ASGT was born. Tigger’s always been equated with me, and is my favorite Disney character I recently deleted the e to make my profile unique (and also to try to stay off Disney’s hit-list, since I am not trying to emulate the original strippedy, bouncy feline. But Tiggr suits me I am bouncy and playful and a bit clumsy as well. My life is an ever changing series of peaks and valleys of dizzying proportions. "
2. Q: How did you come up with the title of your blog? A:" I love it. Thanks! I wanted something perky and peppy and bouncy kinda like me. And I wanted the name to start with A so it wouldn’t get lost in the middle of peoples’ blogrolls. Also, I wanted something that indicated interactivity, because even though I write for myself first and foremost, I want anyone who stops by my treehouse to feel not only welcome and comfortable, but also as if they are a part of my extended family. "
Q: Can you tell people a bit about yourself? A:" Geez, where do I start? Do you want the short version or the oh-so-boring and drawn out novel that is my life? I’m in my very, very early 40’s, a mother of two (a boy and a girl) and I am happily married to an alpha male (my Dante who has his own blog). I had a less-than-happy childhood and my adolescence was rocky to say the least, as were my early adult years. I’ve spent the vast majority of my life bringing pain and hardship on friends and family, but hopefully that is behind me now. I am submissive only to my Dante and I have a very strong dominant streak in me that has yet to be fully explored. I still struggle with issues of self-control, self-discipline and communication but I think I’ve made great strides in recent months. "
3. Q: You have three different series on your blog. Could you please let us know the names of the series and what they are about?
A: "All three series are interactive, meaning that my readers and fellow bloggers are encouraged to interact with me directly in some respect. I also include links in each posting directing readers to view the blogs of the participating possible authors or picture-owners for any given week, thereby doing a bit to promote readership elsewhere."
~Fantasy Friday is the longest running series on ASGT. Fellow spanko bloggers email me their fantasies or as yet previously unpublished stories and then the readers get to guess who wrote each one a new story is posted every Friday along with a poll and the author is revealed on Monday morning.
~ Wankable Wednesday gives fellow bloggers an opportunity to send in pictures of themselves and their partner for identification by my readers, once again using an online polling system. The individual blogger can choose whether to send in pictures of their actual parts (pussy or cock) or use some sort of representational picture to creatively illustrate them. Several different ideas have already been tried and there is a link on my sidebar to each week’s offering so readers can take a peek to get some ideas of their own. No two weeks have been the same since this game started, making it that much more fun for everyone who stops by.
~ Tiggr Talk is my newest game and is open to anyone who reads my blog. It has thus far been completely anonymous, so even the shy ones (lurkers) can participate with the utmost safety. I’ve asked my readers ALL of my readers to ask me questions about myself, about my blog, about my relationship, whatever. Anything they may be wondering but haven’t yet seen or heard or read on my blog.
"The only rule is that I won’t discuss anything potentially identifiable (by people who know me in real-life) and I won’t speak for Dante or put words in his mouth. But if any of your readers want to know more about me, they can always send me an email and I’d be more than happy to write back or to include their questions on the next edition of Tiggr Talk. "
Q:How did you come up with the concepts for these different series?
A: "My little strippedy brain works overtime and I’m always thinking of quirky ideas and creative ventures. One of the things I absolutely love the most about blogging is hearing what other people think and how they feel about any given topic. I’ve learned so much from my readers and my blogger friends and just can’t say enough great things about each and every one. "
"These games give everyone a chance to join in the fun and a way for me to constantly mix up the action so people are always guessing what I will do next. I’m a huge tease at heart and this gives me an open forum to taunt my readers in all the very best ways! "
Q: Can anyone participate in the series’? How can they get in touch with you to participate?
A: "Absolutely! Anyone and everyone can read the stories and look at the pictures and vote on any of the polls. Only readers with blogs of their own can submit stories or pictures because otherwise the readers wouldn’t even be able to make an educated guess. But everyone can vote! And ANYONE can submit questions for Tiggr Talk by emailing me or even asking questions in the comment section of any post on my blog. There is no need or expectation for me to even know who is asking the questions. "
My email address is liltggr@gmail.com!
4. Q: How long have you been a spanko? When did your spanking desires/fantasies start?
A: "I’ve been an active, consensual spanko for about 11 years, and I’ve only had three real-life spanking partners. My first spankings were given by a true sadist for nearly a year and for the last 10 years, I’ve been spanked only by my beloved Dante. I’ve been spanked once by woman, a friend who was intrigued by the idea, and I very much want to someday have the opportunity to spank a woman in real-life. I’ve spanked Dante several times, too, when he has allowed me to do so as a reward for me."
"I’d fantasized about being spanked since I was a teenager (13, if I remember right). It didn’t start out as a consciously erotic thought, though I did masturbate to the fantasies, but my earliest fantasies were very much about control and discipline and domination, much as they still are today! "
5. Q: What's your favorite spanking toy? Why?
A:" Hmmm. besides my Dante’s big, strong hands? I’d have to say I love his belt the very best. I used to fear it more than anything, not because of anything associated with Dante but because of lots of bad memories from my childhood and also from the sadist I was involved with when I first met Dante. "
"But my ever loving husband helped me past my fears and now I find everything about his belt incredibly reassuring and intensely erotic. Just seeing it coiled through the loops of his jeans is enough to send shivers down my spine and hearing the clink of the buckle or the swish as he pulls it through the loops is enough to make me come just from the anticipation. "
"There’s really nothing better not even my birthday tawse gets me so wet and ready. Granted both implements (and his hands, too, of course) have been used severely as well and at the time, I never enjoyed those sensations but I always appreciate the love that flows through every stroke of any implement. "
6. Q: What's your least favorite spanking toy? Why?
A: "Our acrylic cane. wicked evil personified is that damn thing. Dante has of course proven that it can be used erotically, as can anything he ever touches, but it’s still my least favorite implement. It is used for punishment more often than not and even though I no longer actually receive true bad girl spankings, the threat of a few quick strokes of the cane is almost always enough to make me shudder and change my ways instantly! "
7. Q: You were my online Domme for a brief period of time. Did you learn anything from that experience? Are you interested in pursuing the Domme role any further?
A: "I learned a great deal from my limited role as your online Domme, and I continue to read and talk with others who have far more experience and yes, I do look forward to one day having such an opportunity again. I enjoyed it very much in every way. "
"My journey to assimilate the submissive and dominant natures of myself is never-ending and the road has been paved with much confusion, sacrifice, loss and pleasure. The rewards are great but the perils are many. Most important of all, I’ve learned that in order to take on the awesome responsibility of someone else’s life in any respect, you must be self-disciplined, focused and controlled yourself. "
"One of the neatest things I confirmed during my Dommeship of you was that the more I allowed my dominant streak to evolve with you, the more deeply and strongly I felt my sense of submission to Dante and my desire to be dominated and controlled by him. In other words, the more control I had with you, the more I wanted to give up with him. "
"I also learned, for many of the reasons cited above, that my dominance is not something to be feared, as I believed for so long. Instead, it is something to be embraced and encouraged, nurtured and explored. I simply can’t be fully or completely myself if I deny something that flows so strongly through everything that I do and everything that I am. "
8. Q: What's the most memorable spanking you've ever received?
A: "That’s a hard one to talk about, but it would have to be my very last true punishment spanking. In many ways, it was my ONLY true punishment spanking, for it was the one time I know that Dante actually allowed the spanking and the entire punishment episode to be exactly that, not just to purge me of guilt but to exercise his own demons. "
"In the end, it destroyed at least the current possibility of there ever being any such similar punishment in our lives. But it also in many ways cemented my belief that true physical punishment can accomplish some much greater things. If the person doing the punishing is not acting in anger, and has already truly forgiven their partner, and the one being punished has already truly repented and seen the error of their ways, spanking as punishment can be extremely effective. (Even for those of us who are considered to be pain sluts, or derive pleasure from pain). "
"That spanking, though clearly one of the hardest I’ve ever received physically, was ever so much harder to bear emotionally, and that is precisely WHY it was so effective, for both of us. Dante literally exhausted himself as well, and he used the force of his blows to exercise all the feelings he had allowed to fester for so long. But I think maybe what he felt and saw inside himself that night may have cared him a little, too, and I don’t think he was truly ready to let it all go back then. But as far as spankings go, yes, that is certainly my most memorable. "
9. Q: What are your hobbies?
A: "Playing with my little guy, with our dog, with the neighbor’s dog and cats and kittens and horses, photography, writing, photo-art, animal rights, blogging, walking in the woods, visiting the cows, climbing trees, dressing up and acting crazy, swimming, spanking, sex, pretty much the usual stuff. "
10. Q: Are you bisexual? Have you ever spanked a woman? If not, would you like to one day?
A: "Yes, I am indeed bisexual. I’ve been married twice (am still married), have had long-term relationships with women, one of which last more than ten years and saw the rise and fall of my first marriage (she was my ex-husband’s girlfriend before I showed her the error of her ways, lol). "
"No, I’ve only spanked a woman in my dreams. oh, so many colorful, vivid, lengthy dreams. And I did ask Anakin to spank you a few times, too. which he was kind enough to do since I couldn’t be there to do it myself.
"Oh, yeah, would I ever like to someday make those fantasies a reality! (Not just you, silly girl. I have a few blogger friends I’d LOVE to pull lovingly across my lap for all sorts of unmentionable fun). "
11. Q: What's your ultimate spanking fantasy?
A: "There are simply too many to name. I keep an ongoing list of my fantasies on my blog (originally this was done as an assignment for my beloved Dante). It’s in my sidebar and links to a post that I update daily or as often as my fantasies change. I use different color text to signify which fantasies I most want to happen at any given moment. But since Dante has recently been in a spanking lull, I’d take just about anything right now. Got any ideas? I’m always open to suggestions. "
12.Q: Do you enjoy Star wars at all? If so, which movie is your favorite? Who's your favorite character?
A: "I DO enjoy Star Wars, which is a very good thing since our little guy is a Star Wars-aholic. He owns most of the movies, is constantly renting the others at the library (all of them) and has started writing his own screenplay for his very own Star Wars-themed movie. He’s got the outfits, the mask, the light sabers (a whole mess of them) he lives and breathes it from dusk til dawn. "
"I think my favorite is Revenge of the Sith, though I still have very fond memories of watching the original trilogy in the theater with my friends as a child. But I love the mystery and illusion and deception and contrast of the dark side. I’ve always been drawn to the darkness yet terrified of it at the same time. "
"The mere sound of Darth breathing in his mask sends me running from the room and makes my skin crawl. seriously, I HATE it. But somehow, in a weird way, that hatred pulls me in, drawing me ever closer, wanting me to figure out exactly why I am afraid and then face the fear head-on. "
"My favorite character, without a doubt, is Yoda. green and bouncy with pointy ears and a weird voice and oh, so wise yup, I love the little critter! Who wouldn’t? "
13.Q: You are a member of the BratPack, aren't you? Who's in the brat pack? How can one join the brat pack? What has the brat pack done together?
A: "I’m so glad you asked about the BratPack. I’m actually the founding member of the new and very much improved version of this time-honored organization. My sister brats are Kayley, Lessa and Spice. Anyone interested in joining as an associate member of the Pack can contact any of us for more information. "
"So far, we have taken one virtual road trip to Australia, the land down under, where we partook of plenty of merriment and wreaked our share of havoc along the way. New and exciting adventures loom on the horizon in the coming weeks and months and the Pack will soon be launching their very own blog, which will become the center for all BratPack comings and goings. We will all obviously continue our own blogs as we do now, but this new site will give us a place to play together and perhaps also attract a slightly different crowd of readers."
14. Q: What other new adventures can your readers look forward to in the coming weeks?
A: "I am thrilled to announce that I will be reviewing erotic and spanking toys for EdenFantasys on at least a monthly basis and maybe even much more often. I am, at this very moment, anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first toy for review. I’ve already worn a path from the house to the mailbox! "
"I am a strippedy feline of perpetual motion and constantly evolving thoughts and ideas so just bounce on over to my big tree in bloggerland for join in a spanking good time! "
.....
Great answers Tiggr. Thanks so much for letting me interview you!! :)
Stay tuned tommorow for Gratitude Tuesday and the letter L. I've already got my list ready to go.
