Is she or isn’t she???
Is she even aware of the connotation of sucking that dummy?

I’m sure that’s a question that circles through yours and my mind when someone who is AB aware see the ravers suckling on a overly large flashing dummy for hours at an all night rave?

As many people who know me will tell you I work in clubs, working at some of the biggest indoor raves and outdoor festivals in the UK`s and seeing these incredibly cute ladies barely out of there teens (but still legal... guys...before you question..) suckling on there lollipops and pacifiers is probably the first encounter I had with this deep desire I have. In fact I met my first AB at a rave... which is a story i will tell another time

There is something in the vulnerable stare from the lost glazed eyes of the Girl who sucks her pacifier as she wonders around the corridors of a rave in the early early hours, that triggers my inner-daddy, the need to bring them in, hold them close and watch over them till they get over the inevitable comedown which is settling over them.

Of course, we all know that 99% of the girls make no connection between their use of dummies, little plastic tea sets, carrying teddy bears, hello kitty clothing and kawaii cutesy little carry bags, which contain their evenings drugs - and the AB world. But to me it suggests that many people are aware of this need within them. Most of these girls are like I was, at their age, they find the harsh reality of the adult world all a bit over whelming and this arena provides them a space to rebel, to regress to a safer time, in a place where no one will judge them.

So yes, I know that the dummy serves a practical reason, which is to stop the user from gnawing at his/her cheek flesh whilst speed/ecstasy causes the user to chew savagely sometimes catching the tongue as well.. but.. BUT, they could use chewing gum.. most others do. the look us usally expanded, it is a complete outfit, the childish colourful clothes , the plastic beads and their hair in Child-like ponytails, these girls must know, they must......dont they??

Anyway enough rambling.. to celebrate this glorious sight..... enjoy these.
