The beauty of dominant women
As I’m currently traveling, this seemed an appropriate image to share. One wonders what the storage arrangement inside the train is. Getting him into an overhead luggage bin would seem tricky. I’m picturing a special luggage van with rows of lock points for the wheels and the handle. Perfect for safely transporting all the slaves for the ladies on the train.
I found this via tumblr, but I’m certain it’s the creation of Loviante. You can get more of their work via their Subscribestar.
Starting the week with some visual loveliness here, courtesy of Audrey Fatale. The tones here are beautiful, all black leather, shiny chrome and naked flesh. Looks like a wonderful place to be.

I hadn’t intended two posts on this topic, but here we are.
Part of the reason is that Cosmopolitan also posted an article on it, and it contains just as much handwringing as they other articles I referenced in the last post. Apparently wrapping someone’s body in plastic wrap is a super advanced kink that you should never do at home. Weird. It goes on to advocate for things like using a weighted blanket or noise cancelling headphones, which is pretty weak sauce. How about just telling people to not put anything around or above the neck?
However, the main reason for a second post is that I saw this post on Twitter. It’s by LustTek and, as far as I can tell from other posts like this and this, they’re building their very own mummification machine. It’s the kind of crazy kinky idea that is both totally OTT but also kind of awesome. I love to see projects like this. Although of course, this one actually is really dangerous! You could solo wrap yourself to death. Let’s hope Euphoria don’t decide to use it in Season 4, otherwise hand wringing in the press will be off the charts.
More mummification does let me feature an expert in it – Mistress Hinako. I’ve featured her work before (for example here and here). The shot is particularly sexy, given the contrast between the extreme mummification and her casual pose.
You can find more from Mistress Hinako on her website, her blog, her instagram and twitter.
The HBO show Euphoria is generating a bunch of coverage for its depictions of kink. It’s not a show I care to watch, so I’ve no idea how fair (or not) its coverage is. If the goal is controversy and debate, it’s certainly managed that.
The latest kink it has drawn on is mummification. That in turn has generated a lot of hand wringing about it’s potential dangers. For example, this Metro article and this in LAD Bible.
The concern seems a little misplaced to me. Or, perhaps more correctly, doesn’t draw the right distinctions. Wrapping plastic over the face for breathplay is definitely dangerous and not for beginners. However, that’s a different thing in my mind to mummification. Wrapping the body below the neck is a lot less risky. It’s not something to undertake lightly. You should always make sure you’ve done basic research, go slowly and have safety shears to hand. But it’s not a high risk activity like breathplay. In some ways it’s easier and less risky than regular bondage. A simple plastic wrap has less chance of causing nerve damage or twisting body parts awkwardly. I’ve done mummification lots of times and always felt safe. Only a small fraction of those experiences involved putting anything over my face.
This mummification shot from The English Mansion does feature something over his face. However, I doubt he’s going to object too much in this case.
Some beautiful artwork for the weekend. This seemed fitting to continue the theme from the last post. It’s by the artist Luen as shared here. The colors in it are wonderfully vibrant.
You can find more from the artist on Bluesky and on Subscribe Star. They also have some fun kinky stuff available on Etsy. I previously featured some of their artwork in this prior post.
It’s that time of year again. Tax season. My friendly tax preparer (actually recommended to me by a domme!) sent me the details today. Ouch. Normally when I get screwed it’s a lot more fun. There’s something particularly annoying about it this year. It’s one thing if I can imagine it going towards healthcare or education, but sending money to scum so they can blow stuff up in the Middle East is particularly galling.
Anyway, I think it’s mandatory for this kind of post to feature someone getting screwed, so here we are. That looks a pretty stressful set-up, so that also seems appropriate.
Not sure of the original source for this, but I’d guess it’s from one of the Kink.com shoots.
Something cute and sexy to start the week. This is by the artist Smutty Rogue, as featured here on Bluesky. I’ve been in a tease/denial kind of headspace recently, so this definitely appeals.
You can find more from the artist via Bluesky and on their Patreon.
What caught my eye in this image wasn’t the latex, bondage and milking device, yummy though all those things are. It wasn’t even Lady Delphine’s shiny and beautiful bottom or cascading red hair. What caught me eye was the crutches and eye chart on the wall. I can’t imagine they’d ever be useful for a scene, but they do add the appropriate ambience. It’s always nice to see the extra little touches that people bring to a playspace.
This was sourced via Lady Delphine’s Bluesky feed. She’s a Toronto based pro-domme. If you’re interested in experiencing her healing hands yourself, then her professional site is here.
In theory this might make a good candidate for my occasional ‘Fetish or Fashion?‘ series. Unfortunately, I’ve no idea which of those it is. I found it on tumblr and reverse image search has (as usual these days) failed me. Google’s stupid AI system claimed the man was Kevin Costner at the Golden Globes, so that’s clearly a few billion dollars well spent there.
Personally, I’d guess fashion. It strikes me as the kind of thing someone like Helmut Newton might shoot for a fashion magazine, but I’ve no way of telling for sure. He’s wearing a tuxedo but with a black tie rather than a bow tie, so that seems like a bit of a fashion faux pas. Perhaps that’s why she has tied him down. Is she explaining how to dress properly for a formal event?
This image by Mistress Estelle Leon is a lovely combination of textures and colors. There’s the soft white bandages, the hard shiny gag and the colorful organic spray of branches. They’re apparently Eucalyptus, so there’s even scent in the mix for our lucky subject.
This isn’t the kind of scene you’ll ever see as a tick box on a session request form. But I’m sure by the end of it the submissive felt lucky and privileged to have been part of it. There’s something very satisfying about being decorated by a domme.
You can see another shot of the same scene via this Bluesky post. Mistress Estelle Leon is a Melbourne based pro-domme whose professional site can be found here.
