Nikki Domino

I’ve posted in the past on the importance I place on eyes when shooting a close-up face shot. There’s that old cliche about them being the window into the soul, but like a lot of cliches, there’s a kernel of truth to it. More than any sneering expression, a woman’s eyes can convey a powerful impression of dominance, and nothing consistently pushes me into sub-space quicker than lengthy eye contact during an intense play session. I may also have occasionally mentioned, just in passing, only now and again, my attraction to dominant women in glasses. This particular images was therefore a show stopper (click cutter? browse blocker?) when I stumbled across it.

Three new blogs

I’ve added the following three blogs to my blogroll over on the right.

Mistress160’s Abode is run by a lifestyle dominant and documents her ongoing D/s relationship with her husband Sol. There’s a wealth of information there, covering everything from getting started in BDSM to more extreme edge play. I particularly enjoyed her very lengthy description of a chemical play session she’d organized, which has inspired me to try something similar in the near future. That also happens to be the post that led me to Mistress160’s blog in the first place, thanks to the miracle of referral logs and her link to an old post of mine.

The Fetish Furniture Factory is managed by Vanessa Chaland and features a large amount of queening and cuckolding. She also describes the custom furniture that she designs and modifies specifically for those acts. The one based around a Sardax drawing looked fairly ingenious, and was even appreciated by the great man himself.

Finally, last but certainly not least, is Sexonomics, a new blog by Brooke Magnanti aka Belle de Jour. As its name suggests, she intends to focus on social and political issues relating to sex. It’s still early days for the blog, but given how much I enjoyed her writing as Belle, I have high hopes for this one. As I alluded to in my earlier post on ‘Women and porn‘, I’m very grateful to intelligent sex positive people who can reach out and confront some of the lazy stereotyping that passes for analysis of sexual issues in the mainstream media.

Which I admit is a bit of a loose connection to the blogs themselves, but it seemed a shame to mention Belle and not take the chance to post it.

Cake with sprinkles on top

I try not to post too many images from The New Bootblack’s Oubliette. It’s one of my favorite tumblr sites, and I don’t want to end up simply echoing all the images posted there. This one however, was too good not to repost.

The posted comment with the image was a simple “Happy birthday, fucker.” This is certainly short and to the point, but for me doesn’t really capture the moment. I like to imagine that it’s actually her birthday, and the slave in question has spent many hours working on this cake. But upon its presentation on the lady’s special day, a tiny almost imperceptible flaw is discovered. In such a situation obviously only one course of action is open. Smash it to the floor, piss on it and then force him to eat his imperfect piss soaked cake like a dog. That seems only fair.

The dark half

The shy demure girl who’s secretly a kinky sex freak is admittedly a little bit of a cliche. But I do like this particularly twist on it. And I make no excuses for my love of nerdy girls in glasses. Particularly those who also may happen to be kinky sex freaks.

Secretaire by JoelI originally came across this on the lunar black tumblr site. But the magic of tineye took me to the original artist – joel27 on deviant art.

A stereotype rejuvenated

If you asked someone to describe this picture I think it would sound like a million other femdom images. There’s a mistress flexing a cane and staring into the camera. But this is that one millionth and one image that somehow makes the stereotype seem fresh again. I like the feet casually slung onto the desk, with the just hint of stocking showing. And I’m a sucker for women in glasses. But it’s that quirky smile and slightly off center glance that really makes this work for me. She looks like she’d very much enjoy wielding that cane.

New Story Chapter

I’ve added Chapter 4 to my tale of cuckolding and torture ‘The Loving Wife‘. Where the previous chapter was heavy on the pain and torture, this flips it around and explores the cuckold side of the coin. Feel fee to direct any feedback, compliments or insults in my direction. There’s probably one more chapter to come in the story.

Given the cuckold focus, I thought a suitably captioned image would be an appropriate illustration for this post. I considered several from Servitor’s excellent collection, but ended up with this one from LittlemanRayburn’s galleries.

Chastity / Cuckold Captioned Image

Ideal for light spanking

I know Pulp Fiction spawned the expression “go medieval on your ass”, but I never realized anyone might take it quite so literally. I believe that’s a ball and chain, or more generically a flail, that Lady V is wielding. I’m not exactly sure how you’d incorporate something like that into a scene, but I’d hope the operative expression would be ‘very carefully’.

Lady V with flailLady V is a pro-domme based in Los Angeles. Should you be in that neighborhood and wish to find out in person just how good she is with spiky weapons, her session request form is here.

Classic Femdom

From the vintage femdom in the last post, we jump forward 70 or so years to some classic femdom, with the late great Bettie Page. I was never personally a great fan of her bondage shots, as they always tend to the ‘loose clothesline draped vaguely over limbs’ school of bondage. But occasionally I’ll come across an image like this one which reminds me why she become such an iconic fetish figure.

Bettie PageFound on the Suicide Blonde tumblr site.

Hairbrush

I’m sure this is old news to most of my readers, but human sexuality is a strange and curious beast. What turns us on and why is a constant puzzle to me.

Take the image below. I was never spanked as a child, and certainly not with any kind of implement. Corporal punishment in school was long gone by the time I was getting into fights in the playground, and my parents didn’t believe in beating children. I’m also fairly certain I didn’t interact with any strict women in short skirts and high heels. Everyone was far too sensible and boring for that. So how come the image below gives such a strong twist of excitement deep inside of me? And in fact has done since I first saw it many years ago? There’s something very attractive about the nonchalant but confident way she’s sitting, just waiting, casually holding the hairbrush. It’s a pose that manages to be very appealing despite not being grounded in any ‘normal’ experience (excluding BDSM play).
