Marriage - the Ulimate Collaring

Weddings today are more than a celebration of love. They are major events, sometimes with exotic or non-traditional destinations and are often talked about long after the bouquet is thrown. Couples use this event to send the world a message about who they are and how they see themselves. If you're a celebrity, people expect a bizarre wedding and are even disappointed if it approaches societies idea of "traditional".

With so many couples literally tie knots celebrating their love of bondage, is it no wonder that one such couple will celebrate their wedding with a BDSM theme? Tomorrow, Sunday August 16, at the Tampa Fetish Con will be the setting for one special couple as they tie the proverbial knot - talk about the ultimate collaring!

Foot Fetish Story Contest

If you are a member on Alt.com you might remember seeing an email about a Foot Fetish writing contest. The rules allowed only 150 words - not an easy task, but I submitted 2 entries. Below is a cope of one entry - the other one is hotter, but you'll have wait to read that one!
Scroll Down for Story.

A seat on the train; must be a rush hour miracle. No one ever makes eye contact but She stares directly into your soul. You shift your gaze downward to find shapely legs clad in gloriously sheer nylons with seams.
Continuing to stare, comprehension slowly dawns: the vision haunting your dreams is real and standing before you.
	Her foot slips free and with pointed toes she drags her foot upward revealing Cuban heels; your cock springs to life. A sudden stop propels her shoe toward you.
Falling to your knees, you retrieve the shoe, catching the scent of leather and HER.
She presents her perfectly pampered foot. Numb with pleasure, you replace the shoe. The trains slows, Grand Central is next. Uncomfortably you attempt to rise, she glances at your tented slacks.
	Exiting the train she hands you Her card. Mistress W In that moment, you know God exists.

San Francisco's Fetish Ball

March 6th marks the start of San Francisco's 7th annual Fetish Ball. I'm stuck on the East Coast, but if you're in the area, it sounds like a great time!!

WOW - Those are Some Serious Shoes!

Ever wonder what Million dollar shoes look like? No need to wonder any longer. Top shoe designer Stuart Weitzman, who just happens to be one of My favorites, designed this stunning diamond adorned pair that will set you back a cool Million. I bet they looked great on the red carpet!!

"Adult-Only" Circus

I'm thrilled to be back in NY. I enjoyed traveling, but New York is My home and there's no place like home! Summer in Manhattan means there are more things to do and see than time will allow. So, I wasted no time in getting out on the town. I arrived home on July 5th and had plans for the 6th to see La Vie. I'm glad I didn't wait, after yesterday's review in the Times tickets may be harder to get.

Tucked behind the mostly forgotten South Street Seaport Mall, on pier 17, Spiegelworld has created is a delightful night spot to enjoy some "Adult Theater". The outdoor setting is part of the appeal. Arrive early and enjoy drinks while swinging from woven hammock style chairs tucked behind the DJ tent, giving you an unobstructed view of the East River, or reserve one of the cozy semi-private "harem-tent" style seating areas which also sport a great view of the water. If you're less adventurous, or can't get one of those coveted seats, there are plenty of picnic tables and benches all around the DJ tent. Either way, the party atmosphere outside the main tent helps set the mood for the in-your-face acrobatics that makes up the show.

While the I enjoyed the setting, My trek downtown wasn't for the atmosphere, but to see LaVie and the show alone was worth trip. The use of "Adult" to describe the content is used liberally - more to mean they don't allow anyone under 18 than to describe the content. The content isn't "prime time" material and qualifies as "mature" due to it's suggestive nature rather than any real overt sexual content despite the brief nudity in one scene. So while NOT "adult" by My standards, it was a sexy and thoroughly enjoyable show - well worth the effort. Don't wait if you want to see it, the show closes 8/31.

Fetish Marathon and other Kinky Events

With so much happening in the world of kink, it's hard to know where to start!

Perhaps it's best to start were we've been and then we can move on to were we're going. It's hard to beleive that Red Hot Ice happened nearly a week ago. As always, anything hosted by the creative minds at Arena Studios, it was a top shelf event with every detail expertly tended to. A great time was had by all!

While the vanilla world awaits the long Memorial day weekend, the kinky crowd anxiously awaits the Fetish Marathon the following weekend. This year however, there is a huge twist in the schedule. The focal point of the weekend, and for many the highlight of the entire NY Scene, the highly acclaimed Black and Blue Ball, will be held in the fall and not during the Fetish Marathon. I'm sure there will still be enough kink to put even the most hard core player into overdrive with events Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights begining June1.

Fetish Party Scene

According to The Baroness, "any occasion to dress is an occasion to overdress". So last Sunday I ventured downtown to check out Her monthly Fetish Review. I was decked out in a stunning purple latex suit by Vex Clothing and dangerously high platform shoes to see what the NY fetish community considered "couture". I found a few deliciously clad latex divas, sporting ensembles that could bring out the green-eyed envy monster in us all, but in general the fashion part of the evening was disappointing. What made the night well worth My time were the people.

Tonight I'll venture out to the monthly Byte party. I'll be sporting a new made-to-order wardrobe piece - this time in leather. Daringly short and made to show off those vintage stockings so many of you are fond of, this piece isn't for the shy! It's more open bottom girdle than skirt with a short zippered front and lacing up the back like a corset; paired with a thong, it's the perfect piece to show off my lovely full backside. More than a bit too risque to wear out in public, well covered by a trench coat the vanilla world will be none the wiser enroute to the event and once safely inside, the Byte crowd will be treated to a nice view of the Mistress's rear end . Topping off the ensemble is a delightful new corset, perfect for my tight lacing tendencies. This handsomely finished, double-boned corset was designed by Shane Aaron. If you haven't seen his pieces, check them out at Purple Passion - they are worth every penny!!! I now have two of his corsets and know they are only the beginning of my collection from him. And of course no outfit is complete without sinful shoes! A simple 8" platform black leather mule is the perfect accessory to show off the lovely Cuban heel of those Dita Van Tesse inspired hose.
