Darling Laura J. in The Dungeon
Welcome to our very first “Meet the Darlings” feature here at WIPs and Chains. Granted, I probably won’t be very good about posting new interviews with our wonderful Darlings (a.k.a. frequent & well-known visitors to The Dungeon) on a regular basis, but this is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now.
And who better to start with than our very own long-standing & most dedicated DARLING LAURA J.? She is also the moderator of my HappyBookers YahooGroup & pimp-erella of my Street Walkers Street Team, where she is best known as “Huggy Bear.”
Here she is with her daughter (a.k.a. B-Girl—I’ll let Darling Laura tell you the story behind that, if she’d like. *g*) in her very best Dungeon garb…
And here’s a never-before-seen picture of “Huggy Bear” & Mistress Heidi together, out pimping my books:
Don’t they make just the most perfect pair?
So without further ado, here is our interview with Darling Laura J.
How did you first learn about The Dungeon? I first learned about The Dungeon after I won a book from Heidi from another blog where she was a guest at. I don’t remember what blog that was, but I’ve been hanging out in The Dungeon ever since.
Are you naughty or nice? I would have to say I’m a little of both. 94% nice and 6% naughty…or is it 94% naughty and 6% nice?
What do you like best about being a Darling of The Dungeon? It’s all the great friends I’ve made here! This place really is the best and most fun place to hang out.
What is the naughtiest (i.e. Dungeon-worthy) thing you’ve ever done? Let’s see…probably in college when I would sneak into the all-guy dorm. We were supposed to be “checked in” at the front desk and only on weekends, but there was free pizza and card games, so what’s a girl to do but sneak in through the window? I think the whole year I was only legally “checked-in” 4 times. Sorry, can’t recall the number of times I was there “illegally.”
What is your favorite Heidi Betts book? I loved all of them, but it would be a toss-up between KNOCK ME FOR A LOOP and TANGLED UP IN LOVE.
Mistress Heidi—cool, scary, or scary-cool? Scary-cool of course!
In your everyday life, are you a dominant or a submissive? I’m a little of both. Depends on the current mood swing.
If you had to choose between the bullwhip or cat o’ nine tails, which would you rather have used for your daily punishment from Mistress Heidi? Cat o’ nine tails.
If you were allowed to claim one Dungeon Hottie for yourself, who would it be? BRADLEY COOPER (So the rest of you just back off!!!) Joe Manganiello is a very close second.
LIGHTNING-FAST LASHES ROUND:
Leather or lace? Lace
Devil or angel? Devil
Angel food or devil’s food? Devil’s food
Hemlock or arsenic? Hemlock
Blood, sweat, or tears? Tears (especially when they help me get my way)
Cowgirl or missionary? Cowgirl
So now is your chance to pick Darling Laura‘s brain. Is there something you’d like to ask her? A topic you want to discuss or get her opinion on? Grab your Mistress Heidi whip & really put her through her paces!
And in honor of Darling Laura‘s visit, I’m going to give away an autographed copy TANGLED UP IN LOVE to one lucky blogger!
U.S. residents only, please. To enter, simply leave a question or comment for Darling Laura J. As usual, the winner will be announced during our November 20th Happy Sunday post, so be sure to check back & see if you won!
And thank you again to Darling Laura for being Mistress Heidi‘s victim…er, guest today. We look forward to getting to know you better!

I first found out about The Dungeon the same way as you. And I don’t remember the blog I won the book at either. lol

Laura J. says:
Must not have been an important one? Saying that hoping that if it is another Darling of the Dungeon, they won’t remember that I won Heidi’s book there either!
On November 15, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Heidi says:
The important thing is that you both “discovered” me elsewhere, but ultimately ended up over here. That’s the way—uh-huh uh-huh—we like it. :mask

Welcome, Darling Laura! Thank you so much for hanging out with us today (altho…what else is new, right? *g*) & letting us tie you to the rack & poke around in your brain like mad scientists. *Mwahahahahaha!* :elvira

Don’t expect to find much there in that ol brain of mine. Well except some naughty images of my Bradley. My brain is full of those!!

Heidi says:
Well, at least that explains the excessive drooling. I was starting to worry. :lol

You do know this is kind of like the Hotel California, right? But much more fun! Oh, and no carving the beast with steely knives, that would be gross. There may be voices in the corridor, but I’m sure Mistress Heidi just needs to adjust their gags. And we do have spirits here. Fruity, tasty drinks with or without umbrellas. Your choice.
On November 15, 2011 at 11:07 pm
Heidi says:
IOW, you can check out, but you can never leave…right? :fangsmiley

:show Hmm what to ask? Okay Darlin Laura J, what tasty bad guy from Heidi’s book would you most like to snuggle (wink wink) with 😉
On November 15, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Laura J. says:
That’s tough one Jen….Sebastian from MLV or Zack from Knock? Probably have to snuggle with both of them. Yeah. Definitely Sebastian and Zack.

Jessica Lemmon says:
Ohhhh, Zack. *pauses for steamy daydream*
On November 15, 2011 at 6:11 pm
Laura J. says:
Back away…Bradley is Zack!
On November 15, 2011 at 10:28 pm
Heidi says:
Jess: :fangsmiley
Laura: If she imagines somebody else as Zack, *then* is she allowed to fantasize about him? :fanglips
On November 16, 2011 at 12:38 am
Jessica says:
Yeah, Bradley is hot, but not who I see as Zack…mmmm, Zack. :fanglips

*rubbing hands together evily*….so my Dear Huggy Bear….or LJ …
What is your favorite thing to do when you aren’t in the Dungeon or with Bradley?(no one really wants to know the answer to THAT question)
AND
If you had a million dollars, What would you do with it??
On November 15, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Laura J. says:
Favorite thing to do when not in the Dungeon or with Bradley? hmmmm…well I spend a lot of time recruiting and training minions. Making scarves for my little crafty biz, running around like crazy. But with all the time I spend here and with Bradley there isn’t much time left to do anything else.
What would I do with a million dollars? That would be a nice down payment on my evil genius lair.
or I would support some good causes that I like. Appalachian Bear Rescue would be one and there would be a few others that I would share with too.

Heidi says:
:lol :lol :lol
And now you see why LJ makes such a wonderful Darling of The Dungeon. :tada
You *have* watched Igor, haven’t you? Your answers made me think of it & it’s soooooo cute. (B-Girl would love it—hint, hint. :fangsmiley )
On November 15, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Laura J. says:
Still need to watch it. I know. I know.
On November 15, 2011 at 11:07 pm
Heidi says:
It was just on Disney channel (I think) not too long ago. Definitely watch for it…you’d get a kick out of it.

Laura J. says:
And for the record….Chris Hemsworth is also MINE!
On November 15, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Heidi says:
Hmmm…I don’t know if you can claim ALL of them, Darling Laura. You have to leave some of the hotties for the rest of us. :evilsmiley
On November 15, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Laura J. says:
I’m not claiming ALL of them, just quite a few. Sometimes I can…..crap! What that word I’m looking for? I think it starts with “S”? Oh…I can’t think of it right now. Maybe it will come to me later.

Jane says:
Hey Laura,
I thought for sure you were more of an arsenic person. I also have a question. Boxers or briefs? :bat
On November 15, 2011 at 3:44 pm
Heidi says:
Ooh, that’s a good one. Might have to add it to the Lightning Round. :dancingelvis

On November 15, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Laura J. says:
Comando. Definitely comando!
On November 15, 2011 at 10:29 pm
Laura J. says:
Oh and I do sometimes use the old arsenic. I will switch back and forth from time to time. Just depends on availability and my mood.

I found this site through AuthorIsland. I entered a contest. Didn’t win the prize but I found this blog which I now visit almost daily. So in a sense I did win.
So are you going to tell us what Heidi is really like?
On November 15, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Heidi says:
Yay! Great way of looking at it. :money And you’ve since won stuff here, haven’t you? I hope so, anyway; & if not, perhaps there’s a way to rectify that. :vamp
Not sure what Darling Laura’s answer will be to that question, but mine would be What you see is what you get. I am not, sadly, much deeper than this. :jack
On November 15, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Laura J. says:
She is AWESOME!! And I really mean that!!

So if no one else is going to ask, I will:
How did B-Girl get her nickname? :fanglips
On November 15, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Hollie says:
I already know the answer so I didnt ask! :cape
On November 15, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Laura J. says:
Come On people!! That’s the best story of all!!!

Sherie says:
Loved your answers, Laura! Except you cannot keep Bradley to yourself! :lol
On November 15, 2011 at 8:32 pm
Laura J. says:
Nope, Bradley is mine. Gerard is mine. Chris is mine. They are ALL mine!!!!! bwahahahahahahaha!
(Except Jason and Dwayne. Nope I don’t go anywhere near them. No way! No How! I don’t even think of them.)

ok but keep the you scarves.wips, and/or chains away from my beautiful Gage. :hubba
On November 20, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Heidi says:
Oh, Sherie…you are poking a lion with a stick, here. I do not think you want to get between Laura & her Bradley. You can probably get away with lusting after him quietly & privately, but DO NOT let her know you’re doing it. I really am afraid someone will get hurt if they try to lay claim to HER Bradley. :uhoh

The B’Girl story.
Okay, a when Tangled came out. I was sitting at home, reading, minding my own business. My lovely and extremely smart daughter sits down beside. She had her own book. A little time just sitting together and reading with my daughter. Well after a couple of minutes, during which I *thought* she was reading her book, she says: “Mommy?” “Yes G”, I replied. “Why is the word butt in that book?” Now if you have read Tangled, you might remember the scene in the book where Dylan is sitting in the bar with his buddies Zack and Gage, when Ronnie (Veronica) walks by and well, Dylan, being a guy and kind of, but not really, having a thing for her, was watching her butt as she walked by. Now remember, I said above my daughter is extremely smart. I couldn’t give her a simple answer because she doesn’t ever want just a simple answer. What that means is I had to explain and I mean explain everything. He was looking at her butt because he liked her, but he didn’t want to like her.
After a brief pause she exclaims…..”EWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! Doesn’t he know that’s where she goes to the bathroom!!!!!!!!!!” Yep that would be my B’Girl (short for Butt Girl).
On November 15, 2011 at 10:49 pm
Heidi says:
:lol :lol :lol
Still cracks me up! B-short for Butt-Girl.
I suspect this will stick with her well into adulthood, too. It’s going to be like showing her naked baby pictures to her boyfriends. :lol

Heidi says:
How cool is that? Really lucked out on that when I asked for a pic…& now I’m thinking I might have to require ALL the Darlings to provide “horny” pics to be included with their interviews. ROTF
