valentine's day - marilyn manson

valentine's day has so many nilla connotations, it's sometimes hard to maintain a bdsm focus to it. out of all the cards available, how many femdom-themed ones are there? and of those, how many are simply semi-risque jokes - without the humour, of course?

to my elevation-of-the-feminine mentality, this goes down like the black 'n' white minstrels sharing a bill with public enemy.

presumably, from a femdom perspective, valentine's day is a time, like Her birthday, where the male makes an offering to his Goddess.

interestingly, st valentine himself made his name marrying roman soldiers to their sweethearts, defying the army's "thou shalt remain single" rule. for that, he was tortured and beheaded. and not in a good way, one assumes.
