2024’s Lamp Entry

We’re almost at the end of  the year and I just realized I’ve yet to feature a 2024 lamp entry. For those of you that have no idea what I’m talking about, I am of course referring to my intermittent by long running series on submissives as lamps. The first entry was back in 2011, with periodic updates over the years. The 6th and most recent was back in 2023. So let’s illuminate the winter months of ’24 with a new entry.

This one comes courtesy of Miss Ruby Alexia. I guess technically the submissive is standing in the lamp, rather than actually pretending to be one, but I think the judges will still count it.

Office Pet

Continuing the theme of introducing new (to this site) artists, here’s something by Dirty Sparrow. I don’t think she has a primary website but you can find her and her work over on Twitter.

This example is particularly cute and fun. I love her rapaciousness and his shy but totally into it expression. I like to think it’s a bossy project manager with her favorite developer. He does great work, but needs firm guidance lest his attention stray.

More Hood

A lot of shots featuring hoods look terrible because they’re obviously just being used to conceal the submissive’s face. I get the logic of that but it typically ruins the image for me. It’s hard to enjoy  a kinky scene if one of the participants is embarrassed to be seen doing it.

This lovely image from Natalie Noir shows how a hood can be used whilst still making the shot work aesthetically and erotically. There’s a cohesive design to it that makes sense of the hood. I particularly love the little locks on the chin strap.

Natalie Noir is a Zurich based pro-domme. You can find her professional site here and her twitter feed here.

Warmer Days

As an arctic blast of cold air settles across most of North America, here’s a shot to remind us all of warmer, sunnier times. I love the color coordination between her dress and his bondage accouterments. It’s those little touches that really make an image work.

This is Alexis Chantelle, a dominant companion based in NYC. You can find her professional site here. I sourced this image via this tweet.

Pythonesque

This image – sourced via Madam Is All tumblr – looks like it could have been a sketch from the Monty Python crew. They always had a penchant for playing Northerners in flat caps and pulling out old fashioned frocks and wigs for their female characters. There’s more than a touch of Michael Palin as Mr Gumby in the man  in the center.

I’m afraid I couldn’t find any background on it. Image searching suggests it’s from London in 2003 but nothing else. I’d guess it’s some sort of art project.

If Only

One final post on the recent Femdom Ball in London. Although I loved a lot of the photographs posted (see previous post) my favorite tweet wasn’t an image. It was a quote posted by the event organizer, the Nubian Matriarch.

I had a fun conversation with one of the security guards near the bar before leaving… I asked him if he’d had a good night. And he said “so let me ask you bruv, are the women paying the guys to be on the leashes…”

Ah, my sweet summer child. That’s sadly not the way it works bruv.

I’ll finish with this image from Sardax that features some appropriate leashing. I believe this was donated by Sardax as one of the prizes at the ball (source here).

Travelling

Visiting a country that has minimal air conditioning in the middle of a heat wave wasn’t my best scheduling decision ever. A/C is one of those things  that you can live without until you live with it. After that, it’s really hard to go back.

Despite my hot sleepless nights, the UK trip has been fun so far. I did manage to sneak some top class kink in and I can hopefully share some photographs of that in the coming days. In the meantime I’ll leave you with this shot of me assisting a fellow traveller while catching the train up from London.

(Only kidding. This is by German photographer Naina Mey. Apparently while shooting it at a train station a bunch of old men came up and asked how they could be bossed around like that).

Concentrated Kink

Here’s an image with a very high density of kinks. There’s all sorts of fun stuff going on – bondage, leashes, feet, heels, whips and crushing. It’s extreme, yet somehow it captures the sense of a real life play session.

Sadly, I’ve no idea where it’s from or who the creator is. I found it lurking in a obscure folder on my hard drive. I suspect I got it from a tumblr years ago. Reverse image search didn’t turn up any useful leads.

Perverted Pup

I’ve a bit late to the table with this Onion article from 2013: Masochist Dog Enjoys Being Walked Around On Leash While Naked. However, it made me smile and I figure there’s no time limit on humor.

According to neighbors living near local French bulldog Ruggles, the humiliation-loving canine apparently derives intense pleasure from being stark naked, clipped to a movement-constricting leash, and paraded around in public.

This gentleman clearly shares some of Ruggles perversions. Hopefully, he at least doesn’t leave his walker little presents on the grass outside.


I found this via the Madame is All tumblr. A bit of digging around led me to the original source – Troupe of Slaves and specifically this section.
