Big Day

It’s a big day in America. A presidential election. We’re faced with a choice between an intelligent, competent woman and a sociopathic grifter man. In any sane world it’d be a slam dunk, but that’s apparently not the world we’re living in. I’m hopefully we’ll get our first woman president, but I was hopefully in 2016, and look how that turned out. Fortunately, Kamala is a much better politician and campaigner than Hillary ever was.

I’ve already voted using Washington State’s sensible and well run postal voting system. Of course, thanks to the wacky electoral system, my vote doesn’t really make much difference. If you are in a swing state and voting for Kama, then please do so. If you’re voting for him, then I’ve absolutely no idea what you’re doing on this blog.

Nasty Nazis

The Jewish magazine Forward has an article on Kink and Nazi roleplay. It’s a general discussion on the topic rather than putting forward a specific opinion, but interesting given the source.

I’m always a little torn on the topic. WWII has now been the subject of countless comedies, sitcoms and action movies. Alongside serious treatments like The Zone of Interest you have sitcoms like ‘Allo ‘Allo, featuring slapstick, double entendre and lots of national stereotypes. The picture below is two characters from that show – Gestapo leader Herr Flick and his sexy assistant Helga. Readers of my age may look back fondly on some of Helga’s appearances.

When a prime time BBC show from the 80’s is using Nazis as a source of light entertainment, it’s hard for me to get upset about kinksters using them to get off. At the same time, it does seem all a bit tasteless. There are plenty of severe military outfits you can combine with interrogation scenes to get a very similar dynamic, without actually having to drag real Nazi paraphernalia into it. Taboo power imbalances are fun, but surely one can kink on the concept and idea rather than specific historical reenactments.

Lesbian Nuns on Rollerskates

I’m not sure it’s really femdom, but the story was too good to skip. Apparently a stage show in Germany, featuring the aforementioned nuns, has caused a bit of a stir.

Eighteen theatregoers at Stuttgart’s state opera required medical treatment for severe nausea over the weekend after watching a performance that included live piercing, unsimulated sexual intercourse and copious amounts of fake and real blood.

Now that’s entertainment!

If you’re interested in more detail – and who wouldn’t be? – the guardian has actually had two related stories. The recent one with the fainting patrons and this one a few months back on the director. The shot below is from the latter one. Good to see that’s she wearing kneepads – safety first!

The Best Gag

It’s a personal opinion, but I love this type of gag in a scene. A big ball gag is visually impressive but tough to handle for long. The classic cleave gag isn’t all that effective. This type – known as the Whitehead Dental Gag – is easy to wear but opens you up to all sorts of intrusive penetrations. Mixing it with watersports can be particularly hot.

I believe this is Hong Kong based pro-domme Mistress Elis Euryale. You can find her professional site here and her twitter feed here.

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.

Shadowplay

This very striking image comes courtesy of LA’s Mistress Rozz. I thought it made for a great contrast to yesterday’s image.

Both are ostensibly of the same thing: A close-up of a pro-domme and her controlled slave in a simple accessory free setting. However, the energy is totally different. Yesterday’s image was intimate and close, the domme physically wrapping herself around him. This is cold, impersonal and objectifying. The touch is enough to position him and no more. Both great shots, but showcasing very different D/s dynamics.

Boots and Gloves

I have a session planned for latter this week. The first one in what feels like forever (technically 4 months). It’s giving me a nice anticipatory buzz. Not sure exactly what’ll be on the menu, but I am sure it’ll be fun. I’m craving some close physical contact, the kind of thing portrayed beautifully in this image. I love the sense of connection it shows.

This is another image off tumblr. I can’t locate the original but I’m fairly certain that’s an older shot from Domina M .

Kitchen Minimalism

Another variation on the kitchen themed femdom shot. This time it’s a very stark setting created by Natalie Noir. I do hope he’s being careful with his knees and that fancy looking induction cooktop.

I find it interesting what different pro-dommes choose to feature for scene shots on their sites and social media. Obviously scenes set in dungeons are common to all. However – to paint in very broad brush strokes – there does seem to be some regional variation. I’d say the US pro-dommes don’t feature kitchen or service type settings that often. UK dommes tend to the more rustic and classic kitchen scenes (like yesterday’s post). And European pro-dommes lean towards these sleek and minimal settings. No idea why that is, but there’s probably an interesting study to be done on the cultural significance of it.

I sourced this image via this tweet. Natalie Noir is a Zurich based pro-domme whose primary site can be found here and twitter feed here.

Kitchen Maid

I’m continuing the domestic and kitchen theme with this shot from Mary, a Bristol and London based pro-domme. I like the idea, but can’t help thinking a slightly longer maids dress might be needed. Nobody want’s hairy naked wobbly bits around kitchen table height. The playboy bunny ears and stockings do make for a fetching look though.

If you’d like to schedule a session with Mary, and maybe try a similar outfit on for yourself, her scheduling info is here.
