A Quick Post by Mistress, Link to a New Post by slave allan

As I said in my last post, I am just swamped with electronic-paperwork and assorted projects in and out of the dungeon. A new one was added to my plate last night, my landlord has asked if I could move from my lovely second-floor space to his third-floor unit. In truth, the third floor is in better condition overall; but smoking Mistress Cassidy wants to climb 2 flights of stairs not the fuck at all. There was a legitimate and acceptable reason for the move, and I will be accommodating his request while swearing quite a bit about it. Local subbies wishing to be of service, message me immediately to help me move my gear.
While tackling some of the assorted, never-ending electric paper stuff this rainy afternoon, I had a notification that my LD collared slave allan had updated his blog. I assigned him a subject matter earlier in the week, and then quite forgot about it. The ding of the notification was a welcomed break from the monotonous youtube video I was watching that explains the steps for a vanilla project I am working on. slave allan's assignment was to write about chastity devices. I love chastity devices & key holding. I may write an entry about it soon, but this isn't that entry. I know chastity is not a hot button for slave allan. I believe he would endure it if I requested it, but it would be impractical at this time for the dynamics of our contract. It has been my intention recently to assign him tasks and administer punishments that are outside of his knowledge base but of course within his comfort zone. Remind me to share the story about why he had to stick his hand in maple syrup for 10 minutes. Chastity training fit that bill for this week's blog assignment. As I knew it would be, his entry is a quick but thorough exploration of the history of male chastity devices, well-worded commentary on current use and a few picture examples of modern devices. The history component was his own spin on the assignment, which I appreciate. I  have no use for mindless drones who write what I dictate without expanding on the ideas. After the maple syrup punishment, I felt my devoted secretary slave would appreciate a little public praise.
So go check out his blog, and wait for my follow up on what I love about chastity training soon.

My Dominatrix Fantasy verses Real Life as a Dominatrix

There will be no Monday's List this week. I am simply swamped with commitments in every area of my life. I imagine that some readers are thinking something along the lines of, why doesn't she delegate some of this work to her stable of subs? That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.
In my fantasy life as a dominatrix I might imagine that my day looks something like; wake up at the hour of my choosing, to birds chirping and a breakfast tray of pastries and fresh squeezed juice. Served to me by a sub who bears a striking resemblance to Alton Brown, and is his culinary equal. A Bowie look-a-like draws my bath and sings to me while I soak in a bubble-filled tub that JK Rowling used as the inspiration for describing the bath in the fourth Harry Potter book. Madeleine Stowe's doppelganger lays out my clothing and helps me dress. All the while a team of grooms are hard at work in my stable preparing my pony for a relaxing romp around the grounds and another team of secretaries are screening and scheduling sessions that will amuse and stimulate me for that evening. The grooms and secretaries might resemble Prince, Cynthia Ettinger, Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman and Johnny Depp in a pirate costume; my tastes are eclectic like that. My evening sessions would be a charming X-dresser who wants to be dressed up like a blushing bride and given a lesson in etiquette, followed by a sensory deprivation session with a side of forced smoking, and wrapping up the night I'd have a pain slut with resilient skin who wants to be covered with welts and bruises. Each sub would arrive on time, bearing chocolates and flowers, and they would smell like soap & toothpaste. I would return home to slave-chef Alton serving something new & delicious and all of my celeb impersonating subs would reenact my favorite scenes from my favorite movies. He couldn't quite understand that the charge nurse couldn't make it be yesterday. Thank you very much, Albert Einstein.* 
I am blessed. My real world does, in some areas at least, mimic my fantasy life. I spend my free time riding my pony. I am often indulged and treated to masterful meals. The vast majority of my clients are timely, well-groomed and a ball to play with. But at the end of the day, being a dominatrix is my business. It is a career that I love, but there are components to it that are work, just like any other job. I can not delegate screening clients to a sub. It would compromise my clients' privacy and it would be impossible to teach a sub to hear the things I hear when I interact with potential clients. I can not task subs with managing my advertisement. When advertising an adult service, the venues I advertise with have various safety & legal protocols. I am often asked to verify personal information such as my legal name, my residence and even my tax ID information. Even if I had a slave who I trusted with that information, it is actually crossing into some legal gray areas to create an advertisement for another in an adult industry. I only trust myself to clean my gear and playspace to my standards.
So it's back to the trenches for me. Branding, advertising, screening potentials and upkeeping the dungeon. The really cool idea I planned on unveiling a week or so ago? The one I imagine is going to be so much fun when it is up & running? Ya, well, creating a merchant account with a reputable provider who is adult industry friendly is proving a bit more challenging than I thought it would be. I'm in a holding pattern waiting for my site to be screen & approved. The assorted great ideas I have for posts here? They're still shorthand notes on my paper To Do List.
 But stay tuned, I'll catch up soon.
* If you can name the movie that quote is from, without using google, I'll publically declare how very cool you must be.

Monday: May 8th 2017

It's a week into May, and so far, it's getting a mixed review from me. While it hasn't been utterly dead in the studio, it has been slower than I would like. I have been clicking away at the keyboard. I've made steady and significant progress on several projects, but I haven't completed one yet. The garden is exploding with flowers from all the rain, while the riding ring  is ankle deep mud. Over all I suppose all is well, but there is definitely room for improvement. 

Let's get on with the list. 

• New Toys: It's been a few weeks since I mentioned picking this up, I finally had a chance to try it out. (The picture will be at the bottom. I can't seem to post it here without messing up the formatting.) It's the pink seat bouncy seat with a built in, vibrating, oh I hate to be vulgar but I'm at a loss for a delicate term for it. The pink seat with the big vibrating cock. There just say it and move on. It came from Love Honey, which you will find the link to right over there----> on the sidebar, and if you order through that link I will get a little commission. I forget the exact price, but it was under $40 and my order qualified for free shipping. The shipping was lightning fast, and the packaging was completely discreet. Just another big brown box like my mail carrier is use to dropping on my doorstep every few days. It has to be blown up of course, I don't know if you could affix a bicycle pump to the valve. I know if you are me you can hand it off to a slutty sissy submissive (try saying that 3 times fast), and promise them they can be the first to try it out if they blow it up. I think most ladies would find the toy to be a great size, and the range of vibration to be pretty standard. My slutty sissy submissives though will probably think it looks a bit too small and then find it is actually a bit too big when they try to use it. Covered with latex and plenty of lube, with patience it'll fit.Because it's a seat, and we had it set up on the floor, gravity wanted to challenge patience and have it slide home faster. Setting it up on the edge of a bed may make it easier to use, and I suspect for taller than average subs, it would be much more comfortable on a surface higher than the floor. I'm very happy with the purchase. There are certainly better, oh here we go again with the vulgarity, there are better fucking machines on the market. They sell for significantly more than $40 bucks. This was inexpensive, seems very durable, and it is easy to clean. If one doesn't have a private playroom where one can display big pink cocks on a bouncy chair, inflating and deflating for storing after each use might become a pain in the ass. But in my studio it can sit right in the middle of my toy room. 
• Nails & Toes: They're naked again. I have a professional mani & pedi scheduled later this week. 
• New Projects: I believe I will be unveiling the project I've been fine-tuning this week. The next entry should be the big announcement and I think the next entry will be on Wednesday. Another project that really needs to go on the To Do List, is creating an email sign-up gadget. Then you'd be notified whenever there was a new post or project. 
• Looking Forward To (Scene): I believe I am going to do a double Mistress scene with a very good friend, a talented life style player I've been trying to convince to join me in sessions for years, later in the month. For now it is a one time engagement, but my fingers are crossed that she'll love it and regularly join me in the dungeon. 
• Looking Forward To (Vanilla): Things are relatively quiet in my vanilla life. It's almost, but not quite time to schedule the first camping trip of the season. Almost but not quite time to open the pool for the summer. 

And there it is in all it's vulgar glory. 

Tuesday is the New Monday

What's better than any Monday? A Monday that also happens to be the first of a new month! If Monday is a new notebook, with infinite possibilities; a month starting on a Monday is a new Trapper Keeper with matching folders. Mistress is a bit of a dork, I am OK with this. You should be too or you should look for a new dominant to follow and/or serve. 

• New Toys: If I'm not mistaken this will be the third time I type, no new toys lately. It's almost like my wishlist isn't posted on my website & my subbies don't know what I need. 
• Nail & toe polish: Completely naked on both fronts. I've been in the garden or the stable every moment it hasn't been raining. A deep moisturizing session is in order before fresh paint. 
• New Projects: Steady progress is being made on the as yet unrevealed new project. I'm hoping it will be ready for sharing in the next week or so...hold your breath for me, it may make me work faster. Oh OK that's a fib, but it will amuse me if you turn blue like a smurf for a minute or two.
• Ebook Updates: Progress here! Yay! My muse started singing and I banged out another few pages and edited what was done previously. I'm going to remove my self-imposed deadline here. It was intended to motivate me, it failed.The ideas come when the ideas come, forcing it when it's just not happening makes it sound awkward and labored.  
• Looking forward to (scene): I have a couple of old friends stopping in the studio over the next few days. Looking forward to some extended scenes. There's also a couple of rough draft entries awaiting tidying up & posting here. Watch for them. 
• Looking forward to (vanilla): We can probably just always assume that this space will contain the words horse, garden in some combination until summer. At that time it will be edited to say horse, garden, pool, beach.
