I think it would be a great ideal if we had some type of symbol to wear that would tell someone that we were into the lifestyle. The downside is that once the word got out about the symbol then everyone would know what it ment. Like the rainbow pins a while back. So how about some kind of hand signal. The one with the middle finger extended would not work.

That's it! We can all wear snowman jammies to identify that we are all in this together.

i don't need a symbol to publicly show that i'm part of the BDSM community - my collars and ankle chains do that for me

I've worn one of Quags necklaces with the emblem on it for nearly 8 years now. When I was working with the public there were an awful lot who knew what it stood for lol, always interesting conversations from that.

WooHoo! Count me in, i LOVE my snowman jammies!
 
Ok, i love snow and snowmen. Our Christmas catalogs just started coming in and i found something i just have to have so bad i told Scooter and Jewel i really want this( i rarely ask for anything, they will tell you that).
 
It was a complete snowman bed in a bag set complete with curtains, table runners, everything.
 
I could spend all winter with snuggled up with snowmen all around me..

I have some special hand signals I use in private conversations.

What's wrong with the "O" ring?. Dommes/Doms. wear it on their left hand, subs. on their right.
