Greetings everyone! This week, TQWD brings you our first female guest. This interview was particularly interesting for me...not only coming up with questions geared toward one of the ladies, but also someone I know well. She threw me a couple of surprises, and I hope you find this interview as fascinating as I did. Ladies and gentlemen, our favorite galpal...the one and only...
Mimi!
****************************
1) I know you to be both a vicious 'ler and a tremendous 'lee. Given one or the other, do you lean toward one side?
That truly depends on my mood. I started out as a complete lee, with no interest in being on the giving end at all. That changed with my first gathering, and my first experience at being a ler (thanks, Venray, for being such a terrific and all too willing test subject!). Upon meeting a fellow ticklephile, my ler and lee tendencies have now levelled out perfectly at 50/50. Which way I lean on any given day depends on the frame of mind I am in that particular day. Sometimes I have an uncontrollable desire to be tickled silly, and other days I only want to create ticklish agony for whomever falls victim to my preying nails.
2) You've created some extremely nice signature images for TMF members, and in the process helped further "uniquify" our Forum. From an artistic point of view, which of them stick out in your mind as a lot of fun to create?
Honestly, the ones that are the most fun for me to create are the ones where people come to me and say: "You know, I honestly have no idea what I want specifically. Just take my screen name and run with it. See what happens." I love working free of restrictions, where if I feel my idea gravitating in a certain direction, I'm clear to go with it. As a computer generated artist yourself, I think you'll understand when I say sometimes graphics just create themselves. You sit down with a basic idea, and they take on a world of their own. You don't question it, you just go with it. Those are the most fun to design, creatively speaking.
3) Ok, you're the first female guest I've interviewed, so here's a chick question...do you ever get that not-so-fresh fee---oops, wrong index card. Seriously, How do you feel a woman's "role" within the community differs from that of the overwhelming majority of males? (By "role", I mean a combination of expectations, experiences, social interaction...the whole "place in this world" thing)
Women in the community honestly have the best and worst of it. We are far outnumbered by the males in the community, and that serves as both an advantage and a disadvantage. On the positive side, we're never really at loss for a chat partner or attention of any kind. If you are female and seeking someone to correspond with or interract with, you'll have no trouble at all finding someone to fit the bill....and in record time. The negative side of it is obviously the overwhelming volume of attention often showered upon you. And not all of it is friendly. More often then not we're treated as basic fantasy fulfillment, and when we either politely decline, or perhaps can not spread ourselves thin enough to respond to every comment, we're labelled as being stuck up.....or far worse. It can get to be rather frustrating at times, and very scary to a newcomer to the online tickling scene. Men, in their desperation to connect with SOMEONE of the opposite sex, often unintentionally frighten a girl off before she can ever truly gain her footing. And that, unfortunately, only aids in keeping the playing field so off-balance.
4) A two-part question while we're on the subject of a woman's point of view: What one piece of advice would you give to guys on the Forum concerning interaction with the female population of the TMF? And, what would be the one thing you'd tell guys NOT to do when getting to know female members?
Patience. Patience. Patience. Don't bombard the ladies with PM's and PC's in the chat room everytime they log on. Give the new girls to the forum a chance to feel comfortable before expecting them to share their personal experiences and private fantasies with you. Understand that women need to feel like they have a connection with a man before they can intimately discuss our fetish with them. Treat them with respect, and show an honest interest in them as a person, not a female statistic, and you'll have better luck at finding someone to correspond with. And whatever you do, DON'T treat the women of the forum like they have some sort of obligation to chat with you and answer your questions simply because they are members and fellow ticklephiles. Approaching female members with set expections of conversation and cyber will NOT endure you to our forum ladies.
5) I asked this one of Ray, and I'm curious to hear your answer...if you could live in any country in the world, where would it be and why? (And again...Canada doesn't count. No offense, canucks, but the cultures are too similar for this hypothetical....eh? 😀 )
Hmmmm. There are several countries that I would absolutely love to visit to experience their sights, sounds and cultures....but I think if I had to pick one single country to reside in I would have to go with the one that totally enthralls me with it's natural beauty, majestic sights, and incredible history: Scotland. The rolling hills, emerald green pastures, sparkling lochs, and breath-taking castles and buildings....if heaven truly does exist on earth, I think it can be found somewhere within the shores of that country.
6) Here's a spin on one I asked Kurch. You are hosting a dinner party for any three people, living or dead. Who's coming...what are you serving...and what did you ask each of them to bring?
I'm a firm believer that good food should warm the soul, the spirit, and the body...so I'd probably serve a hearty, rich, heavenly stew chock full of tender meat, colorful veggies, and flavorful sauce with a nice tossed salad and a huge loaf of hot crusty bread. My dinner guests would consist of:
The late Julia Child.....and I'd ask her to bring one of her favorite infamous artery clogging deserts to top off our splendid meal.
Elton John......and I'd ask him to bring his piano. You can't have good food without good music, and it doesn't come much better than a legend like Elton.
My late grandfather......and I'd ask him to bring his yahtzee game. He passed away just before Christmas 2000 of cancer, and most of my heart went with him. He was my hero, my idol, my comforter, my confidant, my wound healer, and my best friend. I loved him more than anyone in the world, and I miss him so much that life is sometimes unbearable without his presence. I think about him nearly every day, and I still cry everytime I do. But some of my greatest life memories are centered around Grandpa breaking out the old yahtzee game, and the whole family gathering round the table to play, laugh, curse, drink, and love one another until the wee hours of the morning. That is what life is all about, and I'd give anything for just one more night with the old fella and his rattling dice cup.
7) You are being tickle-tortured for vital information. What is the one "spot" you pray your interrogators don't find out about?
Yikes. Well, while my feet are by far the most ticklish part of my body, and in desperation I'd gnaw my own legs off at the knee to escape a prolonged bout of foot tickling torture, I'd probably have to answer this with my hips. Even though they are not quite as bad as my feet, they are the one spot, that when nailed with the right touch, will literally send me into agonizing fits of unbearable agony. In a controlled session, I'll break and say my safeword immediately if they are tickled just so. I simply can NOT tolerate it. It's worse than any torture I've ever endured in my life.
8) I know you're a major Green Bay Packers fan. Do you follow any other sports and if so, who are your "teams" (or athletes)?
Well, since wrestling is only "sports entertainment" and not actual competition, I won't list that. So aside from football, the only organized sport I follow with any regularity is NASCAR. I come from a racing family....my grandpa, my brother, and my nephew are/were all race care drivers, and my family is personal friends with several NASCAR racers, including Scott Wimmer (I have a cat named after him as well....I got him back when Scott was only 17 years old, racing late model at our local track and I first got to know him), and the entire Sauter family. I also watched Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle back when they were rookies racing our local tracks, and I graduated with Dick Trickles son. Racing is in my blood. My favorite drivers are Dale Earnhardt Jr. (I became a race fan the first night I ever saw his dad, Dale Earnhardt, race at one of our local tracks during his rookie year in Winston Cup...I became an immediate fan and remained a faithful #1 fan of his for 20 years...the sport just isn't the same without him), Michael Waltrip, and Elliot Sadler.
9) Ok, let's see if we can dig this one out...what is your deepest, darkest tickling fantasy...the one you think about if you had the power to control space, time and reality? And none of that politically-correct "I'm living my fantasy with the Lazbian" crap, either, sweetie...I'm talking about your dark closet stuff here. (j/k Laz
)
Yow. Okay, I told you nothing was off-limits, so I guess this is fair game. I've never told ANYONE this, and now I'm about to expose it to the forum as a whole!
My ultimate tickling fantasy would involve me as a ler (believe it or not), with several sadistically geared female lers at my disposal to aid me in my plan. It would also involve a hyperticklish female lee....one who had a love/hate relationship with tickling where they were true ticklephiles and did love being tickled, but could hardly tolerate the actual sensations of literal tickle torture. She'd be secured tightly upon an X-Frame, and blindfolded. She would then be put through a good long session of sensory overload. A ler strategically placed at each ticklish 'hot spot' on the lee, and one stimulating the poor girl orally at intervals, but never allowing her to fully release. I'd be overseeing the whole thing, jumping in here and there where it struck my fancy to do so, testing out my favorite toys and techniques in various places, and instructing changes in her overall stimulations....stop for a few moments totally, slow down to a light soft trace everywhere, full effort everywhere, focus on one spot, finally allow her to climax, tickle her again immediately afterward, etc. Yeah yeah, I'm a sadistic bitch. But if I'm in a lee mood, my ultimate fantasy is much the same, only with me as the victim. So I AM willing to take in fantasy what I wish to dish out in fantasy.
10) What are your three favorite gathering memories? Here's the catch...one about yourself, one about someone else, and the last about anything in general NOT related to tickling.
Okay, lets see.....
One about myself: As many "favorite moments" as I do honestly have from my gathering experiences, the #1 ultimate memory keeps coming back to the infamous "Air Mimi" incident. For those who are new to the forum and have not yet had the joy of hearing about this moment in gathering history, let me quickly summarize it for you now.... It was the very first time I had EVER been to a gathering, and the very first time I had EVER been tied up and tickled by a group of lers. Word had gotten out in advance about a certain "insanity spot" I had located on my lower back, just above the waist to either side of my spine (the kidney areas, if you will). TTD (TickledToDeath) had made this spot the primary focus of every ounce of his tickling attentions, and despite my squirming this way and that, thrashing side to side, and bucking frantically up and down, the little bastard would NOT LET GO AND STOP TICKLING THAT SPOT! Finally, in desperation, I turned all the way to my right (the direction he was standing), hunkered down as firm as I could, and then threw my whole body as fast and hard as I was able to being tied spread eagle all the way to the left side. That little shit dug in, hung on, and flew HEAD OVER HEELS straight into the air, over the bed, and landed perfectly on his feet on the other side of the bed. And he NEVER LOST THAT SPOT OR STOPPED TICKLING THE WHOLE TIME! Never missed a beat! The funniest part of the whole thing though, had to be DVNC. He was sitting on my left hand side, working over Lite on the bed next to mine. He stopped tickling Lite long enough to watch TTD fly into the air, over the bed, and land perfectly on both feet on the other side, and he did so completely straight faced. But the moment TTD landed and resumed tickling, DVNC lost it and collapsed on the floor in a fit of hysterical laughter over what he had just witnessed. His incoherent babbling between howls while gesticulating the whole thing with his hands was one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed. I could probably attend another 100 gatherings in my life, and not top that one single gathering moment. That's the sort of thing gatherings are made of!!
About someone else: This one is actually a tie between Lite and lowercase ttd.
With Lite, it was the first time she had been to a gathering, tied down and tortured by several lers, and after they had been tickling her relentlessly for what must have been a good half hour straight, DVNC ordered them all to stop, looked down at Lite with care and concern in his eyes, and said "how about we give you a little break?" Lite glared up at him, curled her lips up in a wicked grin, and screamed "FUCK YOU!" The lers standing around her waiting for instruction literally dove right back in on top of her, fingers and nails flying everywhere without mercy. I couldn't hear anything more beyond Lites screams of ticklish hell after that.
With lowercase ttd (screen name tickledtodeath also, but all lowercase letters...not seen him around in years now), it was the sounds he was making while QBWeaver showed him what a thorough tickle torture was all about. People in the lobby 3 floors below could hear the inhuman, near death, agonizing wail of this man as QB worked him over with glee. The best way to describe it would be a cross between the Joker and a dying moose in heat. The combined result was utterly unearthly, and absolutely hilarious.
And one totally unrelated to tickling: Amnesiac and the infamous doughnut raid. The hotel we were having the GLAT gathering at offered a free continental breakfast to guests of the hotel. Our first morning there Amnesiac went down to raid the breakfast display, and returned to his room with a plate the size of a flying saucer sporting approx 4 dozen doughnuts. He continued to feed off this mountain of sugar and dough for the entire weekend. And we wondered why he was so hyper!

My thanks to Mimi for taking part in this installment of TQWD. This was an extremely enjoyable read for me personally, and I hope it was for you as well. Our humble Forum is that much better for her presence and now we've got a small peek inside to let us know exactly why. Thank you.
