Kitchen Minimalism

Another variation on the kitchen themed femdom shot. This time it’s a very stark setting created by Natalie Noir. I do hope he’s being careful with his knees and that fancy looking induction cooktop.

I find it interesting what different pro-dommes choose to feature for scene shots on their sites and social media. Obviously scenes set in dungeons are common to all. However – to paint in very broad brush strokes – there does seem to be some regional variation. I’d say the US pro-dommes don’t feature kitchen or service type settings that often. UK dommes tend to the more rustic and classic kitchen scenes (like yesterday’s post). And European pro-dommes lean towards these sleek and minimal settings. No idea why that is, but there’s probably an interesting study to be done on the cultural significance of it.

I sourced this image via this tweet. Natalie Noir is a Zurich based pro-domme whose primary site can be found here and twitter feed here.

Kitchen Maid

I’m continuing the domestic and kitchen theme with this shot from Mary, a Bristol and London based pro-domme. I like the idea, but can’t help thinking a slightly longer maids dress might be needed. Nobody want’s hairy naked wobbly bits around kitchen table height. The playboy bunny ears and stockings do make for a fetching look though.

If you’d like to schedule a session with Mary, and maybe try a similar outfit on for yourself, her scheduling info is here.

House of Servitude

LA based submissives who are looking for a slightly different experience to the usual pro-domme session might want to check out House of Servitude. Its primary offering is a 24 hour slave immersion experience with some of the most well known dommes in LA.

It seems like an interesting middle ground between a typical session of a few hours and the kind of multi-day offering places like OWK offered. I can’t speak to the house experience, but I have played with some of the dommes involved and know they’re very talented. Presumably there’s multiple guests and different dommes come and go over the time, so the cost is spread out compared to a more traditional 1:1 session. If you’re interested in trying it out, you can find the application form on their site.

Perfectly Posed

This shot comes courtesy of Dominatrix Ai. It’s one of those bitter sweet shots for the submissive involved. On the plus side, he’s all tied up and has Dominatrix Ai sitting on him. Which, you know, pretty sweet. On the other hand, he is missing out on the fabulous gams being sported front and center here. I guess as problems go, it’s not a bad one to have.

Dominatrix Ai is a Bay Area based pro-domme. You can find her professional site here and her twitter feed here.

Furniture Finale

Today wraps up our short sequence of posts on contemporary furniture and femdom. Oddly enough, just after my last post, I spotted another example of the Wassily chair in a kinky setting. This particularly one came courtesy of Domina Juniper Dolor and a lovely image she’d posted to twitter.  You know how it is, you wait forever for 1920’s German furniture femdom shots to show up, and the two come along all at once.

However, I’m going to finish with a return to Corbusier. The shot below features Mistress Trinity, her roped slave and what looks like the Le Corbusier LC3 sofa. Or, if not that, something clearly inspired by it. The shot itself is a striking one. Full of black leather, shiny surfaces, soft ropes and bound flesh.

Mistress Trinity is an NYC based pro-domme. You can find more from her via her links page.

Afternoons

As a fan of modern design and kinky shenanigans this image is right in my wheelhouse. Or maybe I should say, right in my contemporary design dungeon. There’s a lovely symmetry and simplicity to it. The magazine at the end of the shelf adds a nice touch.

I think the chair is Le Corbusier’s Chaise Lounge, AKA LC4. The lady doing the lounging is Natalie Noir, a Zurich based pro-domme. The identity of the gentleman on the floor has yet to be ascertained.

Dating Bootcamp

BDSM pops up more and more in mainstream media sources these days. The latest is this USA Today article on a dating bootcamp featuring Domina Colette. She was there to help the attendees “…access their vulnerability and reflect on their definitions of power.”

I was lucky enough to play with Domina Colette a few years back and had a really enjoyable session. She’s a talented and empathetic domme. It’s obvious from her social media feeds that she’s heavily involved in BDSM education and I’m sure she did a brilliant job of teaching at the dating bootcamp. In the more dedicated BDSM realm she runs a regular two month-long Dominatrix mentorship class. You can find details of that here. The great shot below is the dommes who graduated from it last fall.

Guild of Dommes

Discussion about a guild or governing board for pro-dommes crops up every year or two. The latest example I’ve spotted was this thread triggered by Charlotte Douleur. If you’re new to professional domination or haven’t thought about it too much, then the idea might have some initial appeal. After all, BDSM scenes have inherent risks, there are significant sums of cash involved and relative strangers are meeting in isolated spaces. Why not have some sort of certification or oversight? However, the idea quickly falls apart when you think about it.

Who would appoint and manage the membership? How would they enforce anything? What would the rules on activities and behavior be? Whose standards are the right ones? How would you stop bad actors (asshole clients) stirring trouble with bogus complaints? How would you even investigate a complaint?

More opportunities for education and classes is obviously good and advocacy groups – like the kind Savannah Sly directs – are awesome. But I personally can’t see how an old school guild would ever work out.

In many ways, from the client perspective, the internet has already improved matters tremendously. As Sardax described in this post, in the old days you really took a chance based on nothing more than a few words in an ad. Now you can follow a domme’s social media feed, see what events she attends, get a sense of her interests, go along to domme led classes (see prior post), etc. etc. In major cities it’s pretty easy to find a pro-domme with a lot of experience and a high reputation. No guild certification needed.

Mentioning Charlotte Douleur does at least give me an excuse for featuring another of her lovely images. This was sourced via her twitter feed.

Previously posts featuring great bondage shots from Mistress Douleur can be found here and here. She’s London based and someone who falls very much into that category of experienced dommes with a strong reputation.

Kink in the Produce Aisle

It’s always fun when your kinks sneak up on you. I had that experience today in Whole Foods. After recovering from my bout of Covid I needed to restock my cupboards. I was therefore squeezing fruit and weighing vegetables in the produce section when I was passed by a female store employee in a long rubber apron. Totally conventional outfit for someone whose job is dealing with moist and sticky products and 100%  practical. However, some tiny bit of my brain still went “Oooh! Long rubber apron. That’s kind of hot.”

Admittedly, I had been stuck in my condo for a week alone, so it’s possible I was slightly sensory deprived. She was also kind of cute. But that was an observation made only after the industrial green apron had kicked into life some kinky braincells. It’s always fun to be reminded of how weird you can be whilst trying to pick between bunches of cilantro.

This is Domina Juniper Dolor, sporting the kind of apron you’re very unlikely to find in your local grocery store. She’s a Bay area based pro-domme and this was sourced via her twitter feed.

DomCon 2024

DomCon LA just wrapped up and – as is their tradition – there was a big group shot of all the dommes. Or at least all those who were comfortable appearing on camera. The copy below is shrunk to fit my format, but you can see the original fullsize version by sweet girl julia here.

I’ve featured these shots before (e.g. 2019 here) and I always enjoy them. It reminds me of what a big wide world it is and how many kinky people are out there. Although I spend a lot of time in online kinky spaces (twitter, tumblr, blogs like this, pro-domme sites, etc.) I still tend to see a lot of the same faces and names. It’s only natural – the human brain can only handle so many connections. Seeing a shot like this, where I recognize very few people, is a good reminder of the bigger picture.
