Is this topping from the bottom?

Why couldn't this be looked upon as orneriness, or playfulness by the sub?

Is this topping from the bottom?

I hate when someone from outside says "she tops from the bottom". I know Master will have his say if I cross the line. So, why is it, that others think they have the right to say or judge..who is topping from the bottom?

Master's disarray Grace
Its all perspective.
