Ultimate shoulder rides

The only way to do this-in this time of the credit crunch-is for people in the same country or area in the case of large countries
to get together.
No other way would work-but can you see members doing it-I doubt it-a lot of talk and not much action-we must all be politicians.

Option 1 seems like a good idea.

Any one in UK interested.

Typical isolationism-must be spreading.

I think I need to do something about that... Sometimes one needs to push people to make some things happen. Once this community was very very silent, almost nobody uploaded pics or participated in discussions until the bonus membership was implemented. Then it almost exploded with activity. We just need to find that specific action needed to move forward. I'm sure there are lots of members here who would like to meet other members in real life. We just need to implement something smarter than a discussion thread.

Its not long only 10 months-see you in 2010

Any one for coffee.

we are getting closer-it is only 286 miles to london

I will look forward to it.

Hi- Well Liz, you are in London-lets start there

Hyde park is as good as any-or a nice walk along the Regents Canal.

Hello Mates!

Greeting from Bristol! Please don't leave me out from the meeting!
Liz! You are absolutely right! To do some sr would be much better than have a cup of coffee only!

Sincerely Yours:

Boba

Hi-A pool would be a good idea-trouble is that there are not that many about here.
If we have a meeting-why do we have cameras present?-it is better to meet people and enjoy their company rather than record the matter for posterity-a photo call could come later-much later.
A suggestion- How about meeting for coffee-then we could see who or what we would be letting ourselves in for.Then take it from there.

Just a thought

Sam Your ideas seem a little over the top,when initially all that is involved is a cup of coffee.
Is there a point in recording the drinking of coffee-unless you work for Maxwell house.

Your explanation is most enlightening and welcome.

Thank you.

Dear Liz:

If you and Roger could show up with face masks and withhold your true identiities it may work. You could be El Leyende de Zorro y Zorra. Some celebreties such as Marilyn Monroe reportedly walked down busy streets of New York and of other cities without being identified. Maybe that was because their make-up was off at the time.

I suspect that Terri Nunn, Katy Perry, Alejandra Guzman, etc. do somethings so similar and we know they love to shoulder ride as they sing. I am also certain that they have staffs to  guard them  against stalkers, that is crazies that would hurt them.

I too find it so disgusting that a few bad people make it so hard on the many who just want to have fun with you and give you fun. There are so many more "horses" that would love to give you a great shoulder  ride and you would love to shoulder ride them if safety to you and your music career could be guaranteed. That is what you get for being polite and charming, describing yourself as being attractive, and indicating that you love to be shoulder carried. But, you already knew that, didn't you?

Also, why does classical musical always have to be expressed in Victorian style clothing? Japanese enka music has been sung and played in old style clothes similar to that warn by samurai of the past and in modern day Western style clothing. Someday, why not shoulder ride in a thong or string bikini as the violinist shoulder rides her "dear horse?"  Yes, security precautions would be prudent, difficult, and expensive. The alternative can be worse. I saw that Benazir Bhutto was getting careless with security and what was going to happen to her. Many of us still remember that Teresa Saldana got severely knife by a stalker.

No, I am not a security expert who runs a security service, I am not trying to refer you to one, nor is this is not part of a business proposal.

Besides, if you are truly happy with your life such that it is not broken, why try to fix it?

So many celebrities are divorced once or more,  on drugs, and like Howard Hughes did in the end, they live such unhealthy lives.

No, you did not state that you want to be a celebrity but that you want to enjoy one passion without damaging pursuit of the other. It just seems that only celebrities can afford the expensive security and bodyguards. Even if you shoulder rode a "dear horse" while you wore a thong bikini and played classical music with a violin, it would be difficult for you to sing with a violin against your chin such that the lead singer would probably have to be another ridress on a "dear horse." Maybe you could still wear a mask and use a stage name to guard your privacy.

Oh well, at this point it looks like I only get to imagine giving you a sweet shoulder ride as a "dear horse" pursuant to my aforementioned requirements of course which are that your man consents, my lady consents, and you give a shoulder ride to somebody else that enjoys it, even if that is a child.

Of course, based on how you described yourself, you have already received more shoulder rides than I can even dream of giving and certainly do not need to abide by my rules to get shoulder rides. You rule and we know what I can do about that.

Taurus,

I do not know how to be more constructive and more truthful at this point. Maybe you can tell me how. I too acknowledge  Liz's  right to live her life as she deems fit as long as she is hurting nothing and nobody, and have no indication that she is hurting anybody or anything, regardless of what we say or do.

I too doubt I have anything further of value to add regarding why she may or may not want to shoulder ride one of us participants of this website.

Liz, wishing you a long and happy life whatever you decide to do. Wish to continue to hear your charming comments.

Dear Sam, Taurus, namaegaaru, and all my friends,

Thanks for your concern and your kind wishes, as always.  I love my work, I play with several different ensembles, and people enjoy my violin playing; but I'm a very minor celebrity, if I'm a celebrity at all, and people expect different things from different kinds of performers.  If I were a rock singer, I would certainly love to ride during my solos, and hope that people would see TV appearances and photos of me and like what they see.  But imagine what it would be like to see a newspaper photo of a string quartet together with another one showing one of the violinists looking sexy in a thong astride someone's shoulders.  The United Kingdom seems to me a little conservative about stuff like that. 

It's true that we could wear masks when we meet (I wonder how I'd look in a Dracula mask), but would that attract even more attention and also interfere with our peripheral vision?

I'll be on tour until the middle of next week.  I hope when I get back I'll see some signs of real possibilities for members of this fabulous group to get together and do what we love best. 

Liz

No, I am not suggesting that you dress out of place with these classical quartets. I doubt that Terri Nunn or Alejandra Guzman would be allowed to perform and pose with them in usual Rock and Roll attire and be considered actual members of these quartets. This would cause this quartet to star on tabloids and lose some of their audiences.

You would look like a feminine cutie in a Dracula mask. I believe, but have never tried this to verify, that a mask with slits around the corners of your eyes and high enough holes would allow you peripheral vision. Maybe a scarf over your mouth and nose and a cowgirl hat that makes you look like a member of Jesse James' gang would better do the trick. But, you may want to keep your "dear horse" and you away from banks." Maybe a mask of the Lone Rangeress and a white hat would be better but I doubt you or most Bobbies nowadays ever watched The Lone Ranger except maybe in cartoons. Oh well, your dear horse would probably prefer to run for you in the park where there is room. Ride-em, Cowgirl.

Are you inclined to come to this group or are you just hoping for some postings of photos and videos? You know that we want to know.

Liz, if I am making you uncomfortable, my apologies in advance. You are welcome to email and politely tell me how you want objectionable comments restated. Polite and kind ladies are emotionally painful to not cooperate with. They rule. That is why I gave that shoulder ride to the seven year old girl that was born about the year you were.

You certainly have the right to look only at videos and pictures posted if you choose, in case that is what you, Taurus, are getting at. If not, Taurus, what is the nature of your objection in that many of us would love to know if Liz comes to such a gathering and would love to have her there? Taurus, maybe you can email me too to counsel me, sir.

Liz, I remember you stating that you object to being the subject of gossip. The only way I can avoid that entirely is to avoid discussing you in third person which is often difficult to do. If avoiding being the subject gossip means to you the avoiding of being discussed in third person in a negative manner, you have done a wonderful job of that. Of course, there will always be somebody that objects to something that all of us of humanity have done whether the objection makes sense to all of us or not. This too I am sure of.

I was once sure of one thing only, that we will all die. Now I am also sure that you will avoid drawing gossip to yourself by posing on shoulders in a thong bikini with a string quartet.

Hello Friends!

I'd like to ask that what about our gathering? Gave we up yet?

Boba

Dear Friends,

As always, I'm grateful for your concern.  I play the violin with several groups, and sometimes for large audiences.  I think if I asked conductors of big ensembles how they would feel about my being photographed riding someone's shoulders in a thong, they might worry a bit about my sanity.  On the other hand, if I were a rock singer, you can bet that I would jump at the chance to ride during my performances.  I even think that it might enhance my popularity.

I really hope that there can be some group meetings in a public place like a park or beach.  I don't even think we need to identify ourselves as group members; we can even remain anonymous.  If people see some riding going on and happen to like it, they might want to join in even if they're not aware of the group's existence.  A message from another member got me thinking: there are lots of light, athletic blondes in the world, and if you see several of them riding, how would you know which one was me?  I think this informal approach would make it comfortable for members and even passersby to have fun riding, and I'd enjoy that more than making myself conspicuous with a disguise.  (I can just imagine people thinking to themselves "Who's that crazy lady in the mask and the wig?")

If a very informal meeting can be agreed on for a particular time in a very public place like the south end of the Sheep Meadow in Central Park in Manhattan, I think it's likely that both male and female riding enthusiasts, seeing some riding going on, would wander over and very gratefully take an opportunity to join in the fun. It might even attract all of the combinations that people enjoy -- WOM, WOW, MOM, MOW -- and give them a chance to share the excitement. Does this sound like it might work?

Liz
