In the Park

Here’s one of the better examples of AI art I’ve seen recently. I actually didn’t think it was AI until I traced it back to the original source – this post by Dora TV.

The common problems of AI generated scenes – wonky backgrounds and oddly shaped fingers/toes – don’t appear to be present. It’s very coherent. The only thing that’s off is her handbag strap, which seems to vanish under her arm. The low part of the left lamppost also looks a bit odd, although that’s minor. Impressive stuff.

Happy New Year!

Wishing all my reader an amazing and kinky 2025. If you’re the kind of person to make resolutions for the New Year, then I hope they prove productive and achievable.

Personally, I’m hoping to travel and play more this year. I made that pledge last year and was partially successful. I did get down to LA and SF, and I did get to play once again with the fabulous Domina Yuki. However, I didn’t get back to Chicago or NYC and, if I’m honest, I still didn’t session as much as I’d aimed to. So, still more work to do there.

It’d be fun to pick a new activity to try, but I think that depends so much on who I play with. Certain scenes lend themselves to certain dommes. Maybe I can just aim to try at least one new thing and figure out what that should be when I figure out a session schedule. Puppy play maybe? That’d be a new one.

I’m afraid I’ve been unable to track down the source for this.

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).
