Another Exhibition Missed; Pfft!

Back in 2006 / 2007 Paris-based artist, Wang Du, held an exhibition of his sculptures in Istanbul. These included three giant female feet sculptures, modelled on specific images of:

Nicole Kidman:

Britney Spears:

Ashley Judd:

I can’t believe I missed this!

I’d probably advise him to try and take the glossy shine off the feet, and find a way of making them look more matte like an actual woman’s foot, but otherwise I would love to have one of these in my home. After all, a home isn’t a home without some kind of spiritual shrine.

One more shot to give you a sense of scale:

Yup, Nicole would flatten that guy, good and proper.

Doctor Who!

Lulu.com

As an avid long-term reader of Giantess fiction, I am extremely pleased to have recently discovered lulu.com. Their site lets you upload any kind of writing / stories etc, then they will print it for you in high-quality book form and send it to you. OK, you have to do a little bit of laying out of the text in a Word template they provide, and if you want an attractive cover then you have to design that yourself on their site, but it’s all pretty intuitive and user-friendly, and I’ve managed to “publish” three books with very little trouble.

As a fan of the giant woman / shrunken man genre, I’ve always been frustrated by having to read stories on screen – it’s not great for your eyes, and I tend to find that I skip to the… “good bits” and not really appreciate the entire story. Having it in book form solves this, and means that I can absorb myself in an epic Giantess tale, without just skipping forward to the next poor guy getting squished.

The three books I’ve published for myself thus far are:

Jamie Westwood’s “The Melissande Experiment“
Cassadria’s “Neverquest“
Desiderata’s “Diary“, combined with a collection of Scott Grildrig’s stories

Now you might be thinking, “But, Pedro, what about these author’s copyright… rights? Are you not grossly infringing these?” Well no, I’m not. I’m don’t little more than printing out their stories to read off-screen. I’m not making them available to anyone else, and I’m not making any money from them.

I could, for example, make these three novels publicly available on lulu.com, but then I’d receive a cut of every novel sold, and that would be immoral. So I’m afraid, if you’d like to replicate in any way what I’ve done, you’ll have to format the books yourself, and make them very much your own versions.

Still, I completely recommend it!

Puppyman Behaviour Control

Ask or tell?

Direct instructions work best. Tell him what to do, firmly, as though you expect him to automatically obey. There shouldn’t be any doubt or wavering. There should be no concern that what you’re asking him might be difficult for him. If a puppyman will find something too hard or distressing, he will let you know.

Should I not use “please” and “thank you”?

No. A puppyman feels most comfortable when he knows his place within a broader hierarchy, being at heart a pack animal. This hierarchy consists of himself and other men low down on the scale, and women, especially you, ranked far above him.

The use of the words “please” and “thank you” elevate him within that hierarchy in a way that isn’t comfortable for him. When requested to do something, rather than instructed, he finds himself having to make a choice, which is something he doesn’t have the intellect to contend with.

So why does he sometimes disobey me?

There are two main reasons for this:

1) Almost all disobedience in puppymen is due to feeling out of place within the hierarchy of your relationship. If you have presented him with requests rather than instructions, or thanked him for something, or wavered in your resolution when telling him what you expect of him, he will become confused about his role. You are his world, and he looks to you to be a guiding hand, defining right and wrong for him. If it seems that you’re not sure of yourself, he will cease to feel safe. He will then attempt to kick at the boundaries you set for him, hoping that you will re-assert them and remind him of his place.

2) The other reason for disobedience is plain rebellion. How this should be handled it very much up to the individual owner. Some find it an intolerable infraction, to be handled strictly, yet many find it to be a charming expression of the puppyman’s wilfulness and inner spirit. Be assured, however, that your small man will only exhibit this form of playful rebellion if he feels very safe within the boundaries you have set for him, so you could look upon this behaviour as evidence of a job well done!

Recognising the difference between the two forms of disobedience is something most owners learn over time. Many report an identifiable sparkle in their pet’s eye when they’re exhibiting the more playful form of rebellion, whereas the former type can be identified by the presence of a sullen mood in your pet.

How best should I let him know that he’s doing well, or not?

Complex value judgements are beyond the intellectual ability of puppymen. We would suggest telling him that he is a ‘good boy’ when he’s obeyed you and is behaving as you would like, or you could even stroke his hair as a way of communicating the same message. Of course if you’re busy, he can live without positive reinforce from time to time.

Alternatively if he’s fallen short in his performance, you should point out in what way his behaviour was not good enough. If he is doing something that you disapprove of, it is important that you tell him that he is being naughty or bad, so he has a clear sense of what he needs to do differently.

How best should I punish my pet?

Punishment of small men can take many forms, and there are no hard and fast rules. Many women avoid the use of excessive violence towards their pets, for they are, after all, fragile creatures. It’s worth remembering that your puppyman, while he may fear you, adores you entirely, and would rather be close to you than anywhere else. Therefore the following make excellent punishments / behaviour modification techniques:

• Order him to sit in the corner, or in another room
• Insist that he sits and sleeps on the floor / forbid him from all furniture
• Withhold affection, including not allowing him to touch you
• Forbid him from looking you in the eye
• Forbid him from speaking unless spoken to

Giantess-Themed Origami

Yup, you read correctly. Today I present to you some origami I came across a while back with a giantess (well, shrunken man) theme. I discovered this book online back in 2005 and bought it right away. It then sat on my shelf for four years before I came across it the other day while packing for a house move. I thought it only proper to share my discovery with the giantess community.

There are two models detailed below, both taken from the book Origami to Astonish and Amuse by Jeremy Shafer. Be sure to let me know if you successfully put either of them together. They look far beyond my capabilities!

Be sure to read the author’s comments about the models. If there’s not a touch of the giantess fetish in there, then my name’s Coco the Clown.

This was yesterday’s comic on the Seattle PI news site:

The Reality Paradox

The giantess / shrunken man fetish is rooted deeply in fantasy. To the disgruntlement of thousands of men, who feel in their heart of hearts that they either belong in the presence of a woman many many times larger than them, and to the disappointment of the women who would love nothing less than a tiny man-creature to hold in the palm of their hand, it is unlikely to the point of hopelessness that these fantasies will ever come to fruition in any real, tangible sense.

Putting the freezing cold bucket of aside for moment, however, a thing I find interesting when reflecting on the workings of my mind, a I often do, is the fact that, while I enjoy exploring the vast cornucopia of possibilities that the world of these fantastic offers, if I ever think about it as becoming real – actually really real, my mind gets pulled in all manner of directions:

Pros: OMG WTF LOL! It would be real! I would finally be the teeny pet of a strict but loving, malevolently playful but really utterly adoring Goddess of a woman.

Cons: Oh no, I’m now tiny in a very dangerous world. I now have to find a way of managing the elements of reality that I never allow into my fantasy world – microwaves, insects and other bugs, animals and normal-sized men. Also then there’s the whole issue with no longer being in control of my own life. And the part of me that rallies against any kind of authority. And the male ego… etc.

I like to think that, could I find some way of making those ‘cons’ go away, I’d have the most wonderful life as some delightful woman’s toy. To do this I’d need to get her agreement that she never takes me anywhere near a microwave, as I can’t think of anything scarier for a little guy than being boiled alive from the inside! Next, we’d need some agreement that, by whatever means are necessary, she would keep all the nasty, ugly ugly bugs away from me. Be it by mosquito net, electic fly-exploder, or just her protective, bug-crushing foot, she musn’t let the things near me. Or animals, ideally, but they’re drastically less gross.

Next, normal-sized men. Well that’s simple, there must be no normal-sized men in that world. If this fantasy is to become an actual reality, why not make it the reality within which all men have been shrunk? Now I’ve spoken to a few women about the subject of this reality, and several of them have expressed dismay at the idea of no longer having any big, strapping men around for cuddles, rambunctiousness and general heavy-lifting. But these are the same women who’ve also agreed that shrinking all the men in the world would probably be a very good idea, when you take into account such factors as the world’s over-population and men’s propensity to war and violence. So I’m going with the latter of their opinions, because there’s no way that any tiny man should have to cope with a woman-sized man around!

Next it gets tricky – the psychological element. As much as I enjoy the idea of being tiny in this woman’s world, I know that, once the novelty was to wear off, I’d start to struggle with no longer having total control over my life. I wouldn’t be able to:

• Go out when I wanted.
• See friends without permission.
• Eat what I want.
• Storm out mid-argument.
• Win an argument.
• Bring up the courage to actually HAVE an argument!
• Sit at my PC for HOURS just watching stuff, browsing the web and playing poker.

…because I know that my life would become about what she felt was best for me, rather than what I felt was best for me. OK, so granted, chances are her opinion would be right, but where would be my freedom to be pigheadedly, stupidly male when I felt like it? I can just imagine refusing to go to bed, because I just want to finish watching something on my PC in one window while playing World of Warcraft in another, only for the familiar shadow of her foot to come looming threatening over my precious machine, making me to shutdown and follow her obediently to bed.

But then maybe that would be good for me. Maybe that kind of truly calm, wise and authorative powerful female presence would be the making of me. OK so I’d need broken in in many respects, and I’m sure that wouldn’t be a pleasant process for either of us, but maybe once I’d learned my place in her world my life would find new meaning and purpose. I’d no longer be wandering aimlessly in the world, but would have everything a little guy needs – love, security, food, nurture, sex, companionship, purpose, a means of fulfilling his potential, and a higher power to serve and be guided by.

So where do I sign up?

There’s a scenario I’ve spoken to a few women I’m close to about. I’ve asked them, imagine if there were a secret government role whereby you were given a shrinkray with the purpose of tracking down male criminals and disposing of them. This secret organisation would periodically provide you with a list of men who are known to be serial rapists, child-abusers or commiters of violent acts against women, and it would be your job to find them, shrink them and ‘take them out of circulation’ by whatever means you wished. Of the women I’ve asked, most of them said they would love to take on that role. They’d enjoy feeling that they were doing good in the world, removing these errant members of society, and getting paid for it. They would also take great satisfaction from the act of meting out the reprisals for the torture and pain these men have caused unto others too small and weak to defend themselves.

And I then make it clear that I’m not talking about a fantasy world here, but rather that they should imagine that this was actually on offer, in actual really real reality. Their answer is still the same.

I don’t really know what to do with that fact, but can’t deny that it makes the idea that much breathtaking.

The Importance of Womanness

I know this might sound like the utter epitomy of obvious, but the most important element in my fantasy world is women. I could be a couple of inches tall anywhere in the whole of the magnificence of creation, but if there isn’t a woman there (or let’s face it, the right woman) then I may as well just be at home watching TV, at work or on the bus. It’s not going to get my spine tingling.

Now I’m sure this is nature at work, ensuring that our species keeps on reproducing. Although in my case, the method by which my mind desires the reproductive act to take place bears no relation to the size of the physical forms I find myself in. More’s the pity. But still, nature is a marvellous and magical thing, and seems to have much more control over what I do and feel that I do!

What’s most exciting of all to me, and not just in a sexual way, is a woman’s mind. My fantasies are all well and good, but for me there is no greater joy to be experienced than to explain these ideas to a woman and watch her think them over, process them, evaluate them, and then find her own way of enjoying them, be it through humour, malevolence, or just a devilishly coquettish playful charm.

Of course, not every woman’s mind will comfortably hold these ideas. Many will be repulsed or confused by them, but I think an equal number will take at least some indulgent amusement or gratification from imagining being that creature of overwhelming power and all-seeing, all-knowing love. And when they do, I’m left speechless and breathless in their wake.

Woke Up This Morning…

…to an article on the BBC News site entitled “Crushed” with this as the article image:

It turned out that the article was nothing to do with giantesses or shrunken men, obviously, but it certainly got my heart pumping early on a Sunday morning!
