Sleep

Apologies for somewhat slow pace of posting recently. I’ve been having trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. Not sure if that’s due to work stress, election stress or simply age. In an effort to improve matters I’ve been trying to cut down on late night screen time, which is typically when I write posts.

Maybe a relaxing vacation is called for. Or possibly a very tight leather sleep sack with lots of straps. This example looks suitably relaxing, although it might be tricky to get up to pee in the night with all those locks.

Rodzo

I think I’m due a series of posts on old school femdom artists. The kind that have been around for years and maybe not got the recognition due to them. First up is Rodzo.

Their artistic style and themes are unmistakable. You can always tell it’s a Rodzo drawing immediately. Scanned versions of their art has been online for a long time – I added it to my gallery back in 2011 – but I’ve never found any background information on the artist at all. As far as I know, there’s also been no new work produced in many years. I’d love to know the story behind the art and the artist but it seems destined to remain a mystery.

Trinity and Roxanne

Continuing the theme of duos with a Matrix influence (a niche but important genre), here’s Mistress Trinity and Roxanne Waters, with sub Heavy. There’s a lot of lovely latex, leather and bondage on display. They would have all looked very at home at Sydney’s Hellfire club – the location for the BDSM club scene in the original movie. The background extras were apparently the regular club goers, dressed in their usual kinky gear.

Deceptive

My first impression of this was that it’d be a fun femdom cartoon to share. It had a nice light flowy energy.  Then I looked a bit closer and realized it’s actually pretty intense. Heavy bondage and cuckolding wrapped in a deceptive presentation. I love the contrast between the style and the hot but serious scenario.

I found this on an old tumblr. I can’t find a direct attribution, but from the style I’d guess it’s by M Pluume.

More Boxing

I featured artwork of a bondage and box scene a couple of posts ago. A few days later, by odd coincidence, this photograph of a real life bondage and box scene popped up on my feeds. It adds hooded sensory deprivation and electro stimulation into this mix. Not quite sure how the spiderman outfit fits in. Maybe a superhero kink for added fun? Whatever the setup, judging by the floor of the box in the second shot, our friendly neighborhood spiderman did enjoy it.

Perfectly Posed

This shot comes courtesy of Dominatrix Ai. It’s one of those bitter sweet shots for the submissive involved. On the plus side, he’s all tied up and has Dominatrix Ai sitting on him. Which, you know, pretty sweet. On the other hand, he is missing out on the fabulous gams being sported front and center here. I guess as problems go, it’s not a bad one to have.

Dominatrix Ai is a Bay Area based pro-domme. You can find her professional site here and her twitter feed here.

Boxed

There’s something very sexy about being packaged up. It manages to combine two disparate feelings. On the one hand carefully packaging something up so it’s safe and secure shows how you much care about that thing. It’s  treasured possession. At the same time to pack something away is to objectify it. What matters is that the object stays where the owner has left it. Where it wants to be is irrelevant. Those are all powerful buttons to push for a lot of kinksters, myself included.

This very hot bondage / packaging image is by a Japanese artist who tweets under the handle @1233288. I think they also go by the name Pouring Rain.

Furniture Finale

Today wraps up our short sequence of posts on contemporary furniture and femdom. Oddly enough, just after my last post, I spotted another example of the Wassily chair in a kinky setting. This particularly one came courtesy of Domina Juniper Dolor and a lovely image she’d posted to twitter.  You know how it is, you wait forever for 1920’s German furniture femdom shots to show up, and the two come along all at once.

However, I’m going to finish with a return to Corbusier. The shot below features Mistress Trinity, her roped slave and what looks like the Le Corbusier LC3 sofa. Or, if not that, something clearly inspired by it. The shot itself is a striking one. Full of black leather, shiny surfaces, soft ropes and bound flesh.

Mistress Trinity is an NYC based pro-domme. You can find more from her via her links page.

Afternoons

As a fan of modern design and kinky shenanigans this image is right in my wheelhouse. Or maybe I should say, right in my contemporary design dungeon. There’s a lovely symmetry and simplicity to it. The magazine at the end of the shelf adds a nice touch.

I think the chair is Le Corbusier’s Chaise Lounge, AKA LC4. The lady doing the lounging is Natalie Noir, a Zurich based pro-domme. The identity of the gentleman on the floor has yet to be ascertained.

Guild of Dommes

Discussion about a guild or governing board for pro-dommes crops up every year or two. The latest example I’ve spotted was this thread triggered by Charlotte Douleur. If you’re new to professional domination or haven’t thought about it too much, then the idea might have some initial appeal. After all, BDSM scenes have inherent risks, there are significant sums of cash involved and relative strangers are meeting in isolated spaces. Why not have some sort of certification or oversight? However, the idea quickly falls apart when you think about it.

Who would appoint and manage the membership? How would they enforce anything? What would the rules on activities and behavior be? Whose standards are the right ones? How would you stop bad actors (asshole clients) stirring trouble with bogus complaints? How would you even investigate a complaint?

More opportunities for education and classes is obviously good and advocacy groups – like the kind Savannah Sly directs – are awesome. But I personally can’t see how an old school guild would ever work out.

In many ways, from the client perspective, the internet has already improved matters tremendously. As Sardax described in this post, in the old days you really took a chance based on nothing more than a few words in an ad. Now you can follow a domme’s social media feed, see what events she attends, get a sense of her interests, go along to domme led classes (see prior post), etc. etc. In major cities it’s pretty easy to find a pro-domme with a lot of experience and a high reputation. No guild certification needed.

Mentioning Charlotte Douleur does at least give me an excuse for featuring another of her lovely images. This was sourced via her twitter feed.

Previously posts featuring great bondage shots from Mistress Douleur can be found here and here. She’s London based and someone who falls very much into that category of experienced dommes with a strong reputation.
