The beauty of dominant women
Continuing the theme of finds from Bluesky – this lovely image comes courtesy of Sacred Sadism via Your Master Gardener. Although I have zero interest in gardening I always find these kind of shots very appealing. I think it’s the combination of objectification combined with being made into something desirable and aesthetically pleasing. I suspect for a lot of male submissives that’s not a common feeling.
A funny thing has happened over the last week. There has been a flood of people – including a lot of sex workers – to the Bluesky platform. Just a few posts ago I was fretting over my usage of Twitter. Now it seems my problem might be solved. The vast majority of people I follow there are all actively migrating to the new, cooler place to be.
There have been attempts to replace Twitter in the past of course. Switter and Mastodon never really caught on. Threads got users but is incredibly unfriendly to adult content. The combination of Musk wrecking Twitter and Bluesky creating a very close equivalent seems like it might actually overcome the tricky network effects of moving people between platforms. It even got the menswear guy.
One tip for new users: If you don’t like the app, then use the web interface. The app on the iPad is terrible – just a port of the phone version with a tiny viewport – but the web version works great.
If you’re creating a new account and looking for people to follow there are a ton of starter guides floating around. For example, here, here, here and here. You can also just go look at who others follow. My profile is here and as you might expect, there’s a lot of kinky people in my follow list. Also, as Miss Pearl points out, it’s a great opportunity to find new people to follow.
I’m sure it’ll have a bunch of teething issues and technical glitches given the flood of new users. It’s a small company and there will be growing pains. However, I’d rather have a vibrant and adult friendly community with the odd glitch than the right wing cesspool that Musk seems determined to create.
Here’s some sexy media content from Bluesky. Specifically, the account of Goddess Ivy Harte, as posted here.
I’m taking a vacation over the next week. Hitting up some good restaurants and getting hit by a wonderful domme.
Normally, at this point, I’d say something about my posting being potentially more erratic than usual. However, given that posting is already pretty erratic these days, I doubt it’ll affect the blog. Getting away from home and work might even give me a bit more time to write. I’ll at least have a session or two to report on. Assuming I can avoid any of the seasonal bugs that are floating around that is.
While I go off to pack my case and figure out what gadgets go with what USB cords, I’ll leave you with this from Servitor. Hopefully, I’ll not oversleep and find myself in similar trouble.
Well that fucking sucked. A truly miserable election outcome. Competent women are out and chaotic lunatics in. After living in the US almost 25 years I’m now seriously wondering if it’s time to head back to the UK.
In the meantime I have a Twitter dilemma to consider. I dislike Musk almost as much as his new political friends. And browsing social media is definitely not good for my mental health. However, Twitter is the one mainline social media site that allows adult content and that sex workers can still use. I get a lot of blog content from it and there are lots of great dommes still tweeting. So by following them and staying on Twitter, am I supporting sex workers or supporting Musk?
Here’s a nice example of the quality content that can still be found on Twitter. It’s not all racists, spambots and Trump fans. This was posted here by the Lady Lux. She’s a Dutch pro-domme whose professional site can found here. I’m sure a lot of us could use a hug in bondage now.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

Is Matrixesque a word? If not, it should be and this should be the photograph next to it in the dictionary. That’s Mistress Lux and The Villainelle (AKA Parker Penn) looking like two Agents who are particularly disappointed in you Mr. Anderson. Better hope you know Kung-Fu.
