We've been so busy writing about our Arizona trip that we're behind describing the rest of our travels. In fact, we've been back to Austin three times in the last three months. We had our first private party at our Texas house on Labor Day, and we were back two weeks ago to go to the SinSations Erotic Carnival and The Jade Gate.

For the Erotic Carnival we dressed as Gadget the Purple Pony and her Leather Trainer. The fun part was getting Dee dressed as Gadget in the car. We went out to dinner first, and sushi bars don't serve horses, so Dee had to start the evening in vanilla clothes.

After the fortune cookies, we drove to a well-lit but sparsely occupied part of the parking lot and changed Dee into her pony tack. Since this event was open to the public, we had to modify Gadget's costume a little to cover the naughty bits, but that meant that once she was dressed, I could walk her the block and a half from the parking space to the venue in full pony regalia.
