Here’s what we got at TASSP 2026 from the vendor fair:

From the left:

• My hairbrush, which I already owned, for a size comparison.
• A leather paddle from the charity auction. I think it’s by Kink Works but the paper with it didn’t say so I can’t know for sure. It’s a little floppier than my black leather paddle but I still like it.
• A leather “donut” implement from OTK Leather that Partner 1 purchased for her own personal use. It’s fun. It left some nice marks on her thighs.
• A leather “beaver tail” paddle from OTK Leather, which is mine. OTK Leather gave us one for the silent raffle at GASP 2026 this year, and I wanted it so badly, but someone else won it. So I bought my own.
• A leather paddle from Ouch.uk.com. We were walking past the booth and saw this and it was exactly what we wanted — the original leather paddle from Kink Works was what we were using, but this is thick, stiff, and loud. So much fun. Partner 1 paid for it, so it’s hers and hers alone.
• The “Spoon of Doom”, which we won in the charity auction. It’s Partner 1’s as well, and she hates it. Or loves to hate it. Whichever.

The only thing I went in knowing for sure that I wanted was the blue paddle. We spent a little more than we planned overall, but I would say it was well worth it.

By the way, the title of this post comes from the song “Tremendous Brunettes” by Mike Doughty. As I was organizing the implements for this photo, that was the song running through my head.
