Earlier in the week I came across this story on a public display of D/s. It’s an advice column, and featured the story of a woman taking her leashed partner for walks in a residential area. The letter writer was a concerned neighbor who wanted to know how to handle it. While the ultimate advice given was good (be friendly and don’t worry about it), the tone it was couched in was obnoxious. It seemed to have no understanding of why somebody might do it and attributed it entirely to a juvenile desire to shock.
I was pondering writing about this when, courtesy of a post from Mistress T, I was pointed to a follow-up article. The domme in question, a woman named Kai’enne, had seen the article and contacted the columnist. It’s a much more positive piece and puts across their D/s lifestyle in an understanding manner. It reflects well on all involved, although the reader comments are depressingly full of the usual hateful rubbish you might expect.
Then, just minutes after I’d read that article, I came across this post by Mistress Alex. It features leashes, public exhibitionism, bootblacking and the photograph below. I wonder what the original letter writer would have said to this scene in her neighborhood?
Mistress Alex is a NYC based pro-domme. Her blog is available here and her professional site is here.
Hi Paltego:
Great photo! Mistress Alex is to die for! Personally I love a little public display. I am something of an exhibitionist and that combined with the humiliation aspect really gets me going. I have mixed feelings about inflicting my kink on vanilla folk though. I don’t think they are ready for it and it seems a bit non-consensual somehow. Then there are always the kids to consider; “Mommy why is that man naked and licking that lady’s shoes?” As a parent I can see how that might be tough to explain! 😉
This wonderful photo, and a companion one of thrash (the lucky slave), after it has finished polishing Mistress Alex’s boots, kissing Her right one while She gently caresses the slave’s back with the toe of Her left, are floating around the net. They make a beautiful story. Alas, Mistress Alex has retired from active Domination, and now makes Her living in NYC as a counselor, using Her legitimate Ph.D, as Dr. Alexandra Pitagora. These striking photos, plus a few more, including the Wall Street series, are all that is left of the most fantastic Domina anyone can possibly imagine. Cherish (and download!) them before they disappear.
