esoterica's blog post - Here today ....

... for as long as I enjoy myself. I've been out ot sorts for a while but blooging is a way out of it.

I've given up on pics and I thought it would be a strange feeling and it is. There were plenty of lovely comments, much more than I ever would have anticipated. As a femiinist (yes, truly one of those dinosaurs) it was an altogether wierd experience. I've spent well over thirty years asking not to be judged by my body and then .. woo hoo... I come here and find it really liberating. And undeniably exhilerating and exciting. But there was a downisde ...

It's shown me to be vain - posting my pics made me feel vain, Bad comments didn't put me off ... they were few enough you see, and they weren't the reason I took my pics down. You see I have the confidence to ride them out ... I can do confidence in great big buckets most of the time. But vanity doesn't sit at all well with me and leaves me feeling uncomfortable....

So this pics have gone, the name's gone, the old blogs have gone. But I can't do without bloggin.......

Ok now, you can't believe how happy I am right now reading this. I have always enjoyed you. Regarding your pics...I didn't think them to be vain at all. I think they revealed a beautiful and lovely woman. Very sensuous and real. Frankly I don't see any contradiction between your posting and being a feminist...I mean does being a feminist mean not being feminine? Glad you are still with us xoxox

It's important to feel comfortable, and I respect your decision immensely. Looking forward to reading your blogs Esoterica :)xxxx

We're all a sum of our parts and vanity is part of us, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be admired but we all have to do what is comfortable for us - but we would have been very sad to have entirely lost such an incredible and classy lady xxxxxxxx

I never thought your photos showed the least bit of vanity. They displayed a very engaging creativity and self-expression, along with at times a wonderful humour and joie-de-vivre. And you brought pleasure to a great many people with them. Pat yourself on the back and award yourself a big Gold Star...! :-)
