This is my 1000th post. I knew it was coming, but I’m still kind of amazed to type that. It has taken exactly 1010 days to get to it. Given that I do actually have a reasonably full non-kinky life featuring work, friends and family (against all the available evidence to the contrary here), I think that’s pretty good going.
I was initially going to make it a retrospective post on the blog itself. I still might write something like that in the next few days, but for today I’ll make it a post that best characterizes my goal here. I’ve always aimed to provide useful links to interesting people, mixed in with some fun and erotic visuals. So here’s an image that I love from the artist and writer Yumine. I only discovered her work in the last day or so, and hopefully it’ll be new to a lot of my readers. She has both a tumblr and a blog called Storyland. Both feature some excellent artwork and writing and are well worth checking out. As her blog introduction says…
If the promise of men bound, abused, and enslaved stirs your senses and whets your appetite, then you have come to the right place.
Congratulations Paltego! Your blog never fails to provide me with new information and fascinating insights about BDSM. It is exactly what you intended it to be; a great femdom resource for the BDSM community!
A perfect example would be this lovely work of art by Yumine (I kept reading her name as “Yummie”). I have never heard of her before but this piece is outstanding! I will now explore the links you provided. Doubtless her work will end up appearing on Her Majesty’s Plaything in the not too distant future.
Congrats once again and please keep on posting! 🙂
Cheers hmp! Thanks for the nice words. Always appreciate it when you drop by 🙂
And yes, I Yumine has done some great stuff. I was surprised I’d not stumbled across her work before.

“Chapeau”, as they say in my neck of the woods.
Your site has been enormously helpful to me in a project I’m working on. For this, and your thoughtful replies to everyone’s comments, many thanks.
Thanks. Always nice to hear the site and my random musing has been helpful! That has always been my primary goal.
(Although doesn’t Chapeau mean hat? What is that neck of the woods?)

My neck of the woods is France. And “chapeau” is short for “je tire mon chapeau” – I take my hat off to you.
HTH
Aha, that makes sense to me now. Never heard that contraction of the expression before, but I like it 🙂 Didn’t realize you were based in France.

Nice going. I know that it’s not easy keeping up a blog on a regular basis. You’ve done a fine job, and this blog is near the top of my RSS feeds.
Thanks Tom. Appreciate the support and kind words.

Congratulations paltego. I’ve always enjoyed your posts. Admittedly, I’ve missed a few, but it’s safe to say all 1000 of them would be of interest to me.
Keep up the excellent work….please.

Thanks RW! I appreciate the support and positive words.
