The beauty of dominant women
Any guesses what she’s doing with that left hand? Is it a pull, a squeeze or a pinch? Whatever she’s doing, it’s producing two very contrasting expressions.
I found this on the Diaries of a Submissive Husband tumblr. It’s originally from the Woman Worship site.
I’m a fan of Maitresse Madeline. As an independent and a kink.com performer I think she’s produced some interesting material, and I’ve featured some of it here in the past (for example – here, here and here). Apparently I’m not alone in appreciating her work, as somebody just paid $42,000 in an auction for a 1 hour web cam session with her. Assuming it’s not a stunt by the kink.com PR people, I’d guess that’s the most anyone has ever paid for a webcam session.
I’m not somebody who gets upset at rich people spending money. Moving cash from the wealthy to the less wealthy seems a fine thing to do. However, no matter how attractive and talented Maitresse Madeline might be, this didn’t strike me as an entirely optimal use of this gentleman’s kinky dollar. That got me to wondering what kind of alternative experience he could have got for the money.
Let’s stick to the West coast of the US. This guy was from Australia, so a first class round trip ticket will set him back around $6,000. Obviously he’ll need somewhere nice to stop, say a suite at the Beverly Wilshire (setting for the film Pretty Woman) at $1,500 a night. He’ll also need wheels to get around, and a Ferrari 458 runs to around $2,000 a day to hire. If we assume a 5 day trip, and throw in $500 per day for fine dining, that’s $26,000 so far. Now we get to the kinky stuff. I don’t think Maitresse Madeline does private sessions anymore but there are any number of gorgeous and amazingly talented dommes on the West Coast. For example, the famous Isabella Sinclair has recently started offering sessions again. Let’s shoot for an entire weekend of crazy kinky fun. At $300 per hour, that’s $14,400 for 48 hours and grand total of $40,400. That leaves him $1555 to splurge at the Stockroom retail store, with $45 left over to tour the kink.com Armory location.
Or, as a not at all crazy alternative to all this decadence, he could have a 1 hour web cam session. Let’s hope his network connection doesn’t freeze.
The image shows Maitresse Madeline doing a zippering in a shoot for Divine Bitches. I love the look on his face and the puckering of his skin as the zipper pulls away. Having been in that position many time I can definitely empathize.
One of the nice things about playing with professionals in dedicated spaces is that you don’t have to worry about hiding the equipment afterwards. There’s no worry that an elderly relative will entangle herself in your sex swing. Or, as happened to this unfortunate couple, your kid will lock himself into your handcuffs. The best bit about that story is that it happened during a family party. That must have made for some interesting smalltalk over the punch bowl.
I’m guessing there was nothing accidental about the location of the handcuffs in this image. It was originally taken by Patrick Shipstad. I found it on the Design Domme tumblr.
Welcome to a new series of occasional posts featuring femdom or kink related literature. The plan is to review and recommend books I think might be interesting to my readers. The reality will probably consist of me blathering about whatever caught my eye recently in the kindle store.
First up is Terri-Jean Bedford’s Dominatrix on Trial : Bedford v’s Canada. She’s the retired pro-domme who was recently in the news for taking on the Canadian prostitution laws. This is her autobiography and it splices the drama of her legal entanglements into her life story and work as a pro-domme. She had a troubled upbringing, and an early life that featured drugs, prostitution and low paid jobs. She eventually found stability and a profitably career working as a pro-domme in a dungeon space she designed and created. That is until the police raided it in a very public fashion and splashed her name across the front pages. Rather than take the easy plea bargain she fought back, and the book describes how and who helped do so.
I’ll get the negative stuff out of the way first. Bedford is a solid writer, and communicates the who/what/why information clearly. However, she doesn’t bring it vividly to life in the way a professional writer might have done. I believe she wrote the book over a number of years as the cases progressed, and it’s a shame it couldn’t have been as a collaboration with someone with more literary experience. She also writes a fair amount about her dungeon and the interests of the people who visited, which might be shocking to vanilla readers, but will probably be old news to regularly visitors to this blog. Finally, in several spots she makes sweeping statements about BDSM and why people, particularly submissive men, are kinky. She may be accurately describing her experiences, but I don’t think they can be extended universally, given how complex and varied the world of kink is.
All that said, I did enjoy the book. Some righteous anger at the broken legal system and those who enforce it can be cathartic. Her life has been a turbulent one, and it was inspiring to hear how she kept fighting and about the people who rallied around to help, contributing time and money to her cause. A lot of the lawyers worked pro bono, but the court expenses still racked up quickly, and she was in no position to pay them. The lawyer Alan Young comes across as particularly heroic, leading her original defense to the charges, and then leading the constitution challenge that was eventually successful. The book itself stops just before the recent Supreme Court announcement, but watching that final chapter play out on the news made for a particularly satisfying conclusion all of its own.
You can pick the book up at a variety of online locations – Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Google, etc. Given she’s now retired with health issues I’m sure she’d be very grateful for every copy sold.
I’ll keep this simple. Writing a post after attending a new year’s eve party is liable to lead to much wahrble gahrble and very little insightful commentary. So I’ll content myself by wishing all my readers a happy new year and hoping that all their kinky dreams are fulfilled in 2014. Apart from that one involving fisting, mayonnaise, greasy nipples and the Turin shroud. That’s just sick, and you should be ashamed you pervert.
I found this very simple but effective image on rohosub’s tumblr. I’m afraid I don’t have an original attribution.
Here’s a picture that’s worth much more than a thousand words. I can imagine many interesting storylines that could be spun from it. Who are they? What’s their relationship? Where are they? Is this post-sex, pre-sex or a no sex situation? Why on earth did she not tell him to take those socks off?
Personally I like to think it’s her bedroom and it’s a bosses wife/employee situation. He’s not measuring up in any department, and she’s going to fix that no matter what the time and cost (to him). I’m sure fans of CFNM and of older women with younger men can conjure up many more fantasies from this particular image.
This is originally from a photoset for V Magazine shot by Donald McPherson. Sadly all the other images in the photoset have a very different vibe to this. I found it on the Her Butler tumblr.
I don’t normally feature the stereotypical sneering ice queen femdom. It doesn’t often push my buttons and for anyone who does want it, there’s an almost infinite supply on tumblr. However, this particular example of the type did make me smile. There’s something about stance and expression that makes me think she’s about to start smacking him about the head with the flowers. I picture her stalking away muttering about these ‘goddam perverts who keep showing up and slobbering all over my feet’. Clearly mentioning her extensive shoe and boot collection in her OkCupid profile is attracting entirely the wrong type of suitor.

I always aim to bring variety to this blog, and to mix it up with odd cross-connections. This post, which features thoroughbred horse breeding, is one of the stranger ones. So brace yourself for the ‘teaser stallion’ as described by the first section in this Australian sports article.
Always up for it, this lowly runt of a beast is brought into proximity with the hind-quarters of the mare when she is on heat, and if she is in the mood and reacts appropriately, the poor brute of a teaser stallion is led away, to be replaced by the prize stallion, who then does the business.
At this point, Mr Prize Stallion, Mr Studley Do-Right, Stud-to-beat-all-Studs then gets led away for a fine feed and a bit of a rub down followed by a nice sleep until he is up for it once more. Our friend Teaser, though? He is taken to the hind-quarters of another mare, to get her in the mood. Of course, she may well kick out with her hind legs, in which case it is only Teaser’s ribs that cop it. And that is Teaser’s whole life!
I’m not exactly sure how that could be translated into a scene, but it sure seems to overlap with a bunch of kinky triggers. There’s tease and denial, cuckolding and, should the mare not be in the mood, tramping, kicking and general brutality. It sounds like a terrible job, but I’d guess some guys would volunteer given a human equivalent.
This vintage porn shot is from Biederer Studios, a Parisian studio that produced fetish photography in the 20’s and 30’s. I assume that the head he’s wearing was taken from an actual horse, which makes it particularly weird and disturbing. It’s also good to see that the tradition of men in porn inappropriately wearing socks is a long standing one. Heaven forbid he should literally get cold feed while being whipped wearing an authentic horse’s head.

I’ve really nothing clever to say about this image. It’s very cute and makes me sigh in a wistful manner. There’s some expertly done rope bondage and a couple clearly enjoying their moment. What’s not to like?
I found it on the Wet Beehive tumblr. I’ve no original source and Google image search doesn’t help at all. If anyone can help me attribute it correctly then feel free to leave a comment.
Danielle Lindemann’s book Dominatrix contains an amusing description of a guy with a fetish for bondage in carpets…
I approach the bar and put my foot on what I assume is a step, when I hear a faint “Oof!” The man is laid out in front of the bar, fully submerged in the rug, his face peering out of a roughly cut hole. I step off and apologize, but I am immediately “corrected” by a nearby domme.
“That’s okay, sweetie—he likes it!” She proceeds to kick the carpet repeatedly and with great force in her platform boots, while the other people at the bar look on with a mixture of nonchalance and delight. The man in the rug beams the whole time. I return to the table where I’ve been sitting.
“I just accidentally stepped on a guy rolled in a rug,” I tell the group of people who’ve brought me to the party.
“Carpet Guy’s here?” one responds.
I was entertained by this scene when I first read it, but never thought I’d have chance to quote it. As fetishes go it sounded like a fairy unusual one. Then I ran across the image below. I think it’s targeted more to foot fetishists, but there’s clearly a rolled up carpet being used as a method of restraint. Either carpet guy is now doing fetish modelling or it’s not as unique an interest as I first thought.
