Just home for a quick change because silly me walked out of the house this morning without my diaper bag! I guess I shouldn’t have been drinking all that coffee if I didn’t have a change with me! 🙂 hehe
So here is my rant for the day… is anyone else sick of hearing about the psycho astronaut lady who like hunted down her husband across the country wearing a diaper? Someone was talking about this at work today and it made me think some about it! The thing is it is not the fact that she was chasing her husband and his girlfriend or whatever down all the way across the country that is so “strange” to everyone about this story, instead it is the fact that she was wearing a diaper so that she wouldn’t have to stop that is so “weird” to everyone. Common’ if we don’t have enough issues trying to be taken seriously and showing people that we are not some odd group or strange group of people who are social outcasts now we have this lady who makes those like us (or at least I am speaking for me here) that wear diapers even more weird. I don’t know why for once there can’t just be something that people accept that is outside of the “norm.” Now, I am not one who really cares about what others think but I am just tired of hearing people talk with discust about wearing diapers..THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!! And thanks a lot to this astronaut lady who yet again gave a bad name to wearing diapers…..
Alrighty, well sorry for that rant 🙂 More from me later!!.
I AGREE WITH U STACEY ON THIS MATER IT MAKES ME VERY UPSETT MYSELF.
On the other hand, her stunt did thrust the wearing of adult diapers for practical reasons into the public consciousness, and that has no doubt led to countless private conversations about the merits of wearing for convenience. I’d say it did a lot more to help in getting DLs accepted by the mainstream than it did harm.
I must disagree with you about doing more good than bad. The general public does not see that as for ‘practical purposes’ they see it as a jealous woman wearing diapers for no need at all.
As much as we want to believe the general public sees it like that – they don’t.
(sigh)… I have to agree with you, Stacy– events like this only point out that the AB/DL lifestyle has a long way to go before we graduate from “point and laugh” status in the larger public consciousness. News stories like this always present the “diapers” detail in a larger reporting of some aberrant behavior– in this case, obsessive love and driving 800 miles and knives. Leave out the diapers, it’s STILL a weird story… but throw in the diaper angle, and all it tells the public is “diapers = mentally unbalanced”. …Hey, I know I’M not crazy, and I’ve been in the ABDL scene long enough to know that there’s thousands of others of us who sanely go about our lives… but news-items presented like this totally SUCK! … I don’t really wish for a day where I could just parade around in public in a diaper, but it’d be nice to see it generally recognised as the sane, private enjoyment that it truly is. (sigh…)
From what I heard, Nowak wasn’t even actually wearing diapers. She had a pack of diapers in her car that she used to pee in while on the road. It just got mis-reported and completely blown out of proportion.
Ah, just found the link. That appears to be what Nowak and her lawyers are saying.

Not really sure what impact this would have on the public’s opinion of our fetish. Probably very little, and I doubt most people will ever get the story straight.
I have heard of people wearing diapers in public but what about wearing a t-shirt and only a diaper in public (no pants) Should I do this? If I should then wear should I do it. I have read the commits of jogging and biking in diapers so were you only wearing a diaper? How will people react if I should do this, I am a little confused?
i wear short over min ewhen i jogg and bike,
I’m sick of the astronaughty lady!!! I wish they would leave the being diapered part out of this crime because it in no way should influence a jury. The fact is the lady had issues more in line with a mans response to jelousy and the crime was in the assult. Diapers were not the cause of her meltdown and I am tired of that stain being reflected on the folks in the DL/ab community!
