I took a vacation day off from my vacation today. After three days of being beaten and abused (in the best possible way) I relaxed and did touristy stuff. I did get to enjoy some instruction on wine from a very attractive sommelier wearing a short leather skirt and sporting a slash of dark red lipstick, but I’m going to consider that more a happy bonus than a part of my kinky trip.
The break also gave me chance to catch up on the world and write a post featuring the happy couple below. I generally steer clear of politics on this site. As much as I despise the current US administration, I don’t think readers comes here for my political opinions. However, the moment I saw the pictures below, I knew they’d end up as blog post. For anyone who missed the story, that’s Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin with his wife Louise Linton. She’d already made a lot of new friends via twitter spat earlier this year, and this photograph was just her latest PR success story.
The reason I feature it here is because it reminds me of so many images I see on my twitter feed. There’s an attractive lady staring down into the camera, brandishing a stack of bills, and offering a look that mixes sexy, smug and condescension . It’s a fin-domme classic. Normally – on my twitter feed at least – it’s accompanied by comments about everyone being pathetic losers and the need to drain their wallets, but I think with these two that context goes without saying. Louise even accessorized correctly with the fetishistic black leather gloves and skirt. Given Mnuchin is worth a fortune, I doubt she’ll need to start a new career as an online financial domme. But if he’s the first up against the wall in a revolution, she’ll at least have career options to fall back on.
“I doubt she’ll need to start a new career as an online financial domme.”
Ah, but that just makes it even sexier. She doesn’t ruin men financially because she needs the money…
I saw the photos too and was… distinctly aroused, I have to say. But I suppose she’s not really like that. For one thing, it’s not a very female supremacist action to take one’s husband’s name, particularly if he’s called ‘Munchkin’.
I don’t believe she has taken her husband’s name. At least all the articles I see still refer to her with her original name, and give the couple as ‘Steve Mnuchin and Louise Linton’
So your fantasy of her breaking men and taking their money for the sheer joy of it can remain alive!

Yup, officially a goddess, then.
I’d like to be her munchkin…
The photo is a tad revealing indeed. Notice her gloved hand is overriding Mnuchin’s. The impression is one of her control over him and the $$. Or is it my imagination? The look in her eyes is also the kind of look that says “what you see here is mine.” (Not just the $$, but the guy – dare I say her sub ?- as well)
I think it’s impossible to judge from this kind of snapshot what their internal dynamic is. A moment captured in time can often lie. But I like the idea of her topping him and bossing him around in their private life – it makes me think more fondly of both of them – so I’m going to hold onto that happy thought!
