Hey so out of pure curiosity/experience I came up with a list of questions for everyone xD just to see how other people are effected by our collective kink.

Do you get nervous/self conscious when shopping for a wam session?

I know when me and my ex went shopping I power walked around the super market, grabbed everything and ran out. She was laughing on the way home saying "I don't think anyone would look at your basket and be like 'they're going home to get covered in that' I know I wouldn't before meeting you!"

Do you get nervous in public situations where something messy happens?

For example public charity gungings or a pie-the-boss day at work, do you feel you can participate or do you avoid going incase of things happening to you (messy or otherwise).

On the opposite hand, do you ever try and nudge situations into a messy scenario? 'Dropping' a cake on someone's head or something for the rush of their reaction?

If this threat gets a good response I'll start others with other questions, its nice to see how much we have in common or have different :3

I can certainly answer that first question with a resounding 'yes'! I don't get messy myself too often but when I do, I will normally just buy 1 can/jar/pack of each thing so it doesn't look too strange!

Yeah I got nervous just buying more than one pie crust!

I'm sure no-one would ever say anything but I guess we just worry what others may be thinking. I have the greatest respect for some of the esteemed WAM models on here who must have to go & really load up for customs & sessions.

Yeah that's what I was hoping to get from this post, different perspectives on living with wam, from amateur lovers to professional.

I'm in the process of collecting supplies for a planned messy day in the summer. I'm buying five of the same item each week and feel so self-concious, I'm finding myself getting two, then going round a second time. The trials I put myself through!

Don't people just assume you're in Catering?

I dunno, that's why I feel nervous cos I don't know what they assume xD

Don't you guys have self checkout stands at your super markets? This can go a long way towards avoiding the embarrassment -- assuming it'si a reasonable amount of stuff and one isn't carting off a truckload of pie crusts or marshmallow fluff that would readily catch someone's eye.

Oh, anther approach -- if one has the money (not too much more is needed) -- is to hire a personal shopper and let her/him deal with the questions (and they can just say (I'm personal shopping for someone)...plenty of young folks looking for easy work to make some quick cash...or, crowd source it (via taskrabbit.com, for example).

ive bought lots stuff in bulk before no one seems to care or is even slightly bothered people have got thier own shit going on

i once bought 35 1ltr cartons of custard with other stuff and zero fucks were given by anyone involved

It's like, if I saw someone buying a bulk load of diapers, I would probably think they've got triplets or something, before my mind leapt to the obvious autonepiophila conclusion. As far as civilians are concerned, pies are for eatin'.

Lol gooey girls, I guess we worry so much because we KNOW what it's for when many people wouldn't even consider it.

Other people don't think about the contents of your shopping trolley half as much as you do. And even if they do think that what you are buying is odd, it won't be more than a passing thought. We have a tendancy to overthink things like this and we feel unnecessarlity guilty. Honesly, no one really gives a shit. They are too busy worrying about their own stuff.

I have been in Tesco's with a trolley with 10 tins of custard, 10 tins of rice pudding, 6 trifles, paper plates, 4 bottles of chocolate/raspberry sauce and 6 cartons of cream and the girl at the till has said "Are you having a party?"

And I've replied "Yes I am!" whilst thinking if only you knew what sort of party it was............!!

Haha you should have given her an invite!

Been doing this for 10+ years. It's not rocket science. If you're easily embarrassed, some tips:

1) Online ordering. UPS guy drops off a boring cardboard box at your front door. Done.
2) Self-checkout. I'll buy just a few items at a time at the nicer stores... Then for bulk stuff, I usually go to a super Wal-Mart. Cheap prices AND the benefit that there is literally NO ONE I care about impressing there. (Or would be embarrassed by...)
3) Express check-out lane at the grocery. This is how I get pie crusts now. (Thanks for killing your Subscribe & Save option, Amazon!!) Place the order online, pick it up a few days later. Crusts are 12 to a box. Sadly I don't save for buying in bulk, but it's about as anonymous as you can get short of online... Usually it's the same grocery worker too. And I have no problem telling them what they're being used for... They usually get a kick out of it.

Oh, and for those hoping to meet a cute checkout girl who will be curious about the items you're buying... And then take you up on the offer to USE said items later....

...If, during your previous job as a pizza delivery guy, you actually delivered pizza to two hot porn stars AND had sex with them, then congrats! Your lucky streak will probably continue to the checkout girl.

Otherwise, NO. Save it for your scripts.

It was one girl, and we didn't have sex! But still....

Wait...are you saying this was a genuine scenario? I thought it was scripted?!

Nick! Ewww! That picture! Now I have to wash my eyes out with battery acid!

I asked MG about this in one of her AMA threads a while back and she said that it really was a random pizza delivery guy in that vid...

All good advice. Also, if you have a Smart & Final store near you, these places are designed for buying in bulk. It's what everyone is doing there so you fit right in. You look like a small restaurant owner or a soup kitchen worker of something. Nobody's asking questions.
Personally, I go around to a few different markets and mix my supplies in with other (normal) groceries. You would all be tremendously proud of Lenny though. He's hilarious. When he comes to LA for a shoot he just calls a local supermarket, tells them he needs a thousand pies, tells them exactly what they're for so they make them for optimal face-smashing, then just strolls in there and picks them up. No problem. Cracks me up every time.

Wow! He's my hero!

(You've heard of "Buns of Steel"? Well, Lenny has "Balls of Steel"! )

Yall have seen mine and ariels pics! We have to go to the other side of our large city though. We can't let the other moms see us or the jig is up. I moved out of my hometown for a reason! Lol. Not just for this...just bc it sucks! Everytime I got asked there bc everyone knows everyone. Here? Not a word!
I told a girl once I was on a diet of nothing but cake batter and I showed her an old oooollllld I.D. I had when I had gained a fuck ton of weight being on methadone and said "look at me now!!" This was in my hometown and she was a total bitch ringing my stuff up like an asshole while I smiled and carried out over 100 boxes of batter. Lol

I've even gone so far as to visit multiple stores and buy various things at each store.

Just the other day at wal mart I had a nice haul of pies and other fun things and the clerk asked who's getting pied in the face tonight? I looked around and pointed at the man who WAS the target of my pie assault. Among many other things...First time I have ever had a person really say something other than just Hungry? or You must like cake! Nothing like fun on the road. Sessions are the best! I just hit San Diego!!

Cool! It's too bad she didn't show up!

Norman

Wow, Layla! They're catching on to us!

Does that mean we're becoming more mainstream?

Hey New York

I am glad I crack you up. You know the old saying truth is stranger then fiction. I even give them the website, need to promote business

But if it wasn't for you and Neil and Johnny Yen my shoots would never happen. I am so grateful to you guys over the years. Like I said in another thread I have no regrets in WAM. I have met and still have many friends I really have a good time with and cherish. I would never of met these people without the computer age.

A quick story if the audience doesn't mind. Way back 20 years ago Mark Kelly was nice enought to invite me to his shoot with 8 British models. Well I thought this is what heaven must be when you die.

Well we had the best time. But after it was over A few months later I called one of the models in England and her mom answered the phone. It was like 10 pmher time and her mom said she was fast asleep. This was a girl who was up untilothe sun rose in the morning and thats when I realized that she was just a hard working person like everyone else and just having a good time on vacation

Like I said we are all basically the same with just a little different fwtish then most that we enjoy. But we should never be embarassed or think we are different than anyone else. So I dont think I have balls of steel just going through life normally

Love most of the people in this community

I'm still waiting for the day that I randomly run into ya'll!

The oddest encounter I've had buying stuff is when I bought 16 lbs of peanut butter and 6 jars of marshmallow fluff at once.. They asked what I was making, and I told them peanut butter fudge, for a bake sale.. They proceeded to tell me where to find a good recipe..
