My Birthday is rapidly approaching...

On October 31st - And I don't have any firm plans yet!

Some birthday beatings - from me to my purrsonal slaves - are of course in order. But other than that, I'm just not sure this year...

For the last few years my birthdays have been relatively quiet. I had been ill so that's understandable. And I can always cover any feelings of not wanting to celebrate with Halloween cheer (one of the benefits of being born on a major holiday). Dressing up happens no matter what. Ideas? If you were me (and don't you just wish that was true....) what would you do?

Interview with the... Baby Jesus?

How odd is this? Some people "find God" and I can kind of see it, and then there are others who seem so far in the opposite direction that you think it would never happen.

Anne Rice has announced that she has now found God and will only be writing books for the Lord now. Could this be promotion for her newest book that is coming out now? Or the other two that she promised would follow it? Sure (she said with hope draining quickly out of her voice). But it seems kind of serious.

I mention her because she's a really incredible writer - I'm more of a fan of the Vampire novels than her erotic/bdsm-lite stuff - Her next book is "Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt," a novel about the 7-year-old Jesus, narrated by Christ himself.

Scarier than vampires....

Important Petition - The PETS Act

This is a really important petition for everyone to sign...

Tell Congress - while they might be actually thinking about coming up with plans for dealing with natural disasters - to not forget about including provisions for not abandoning pets in disasters!!!

The PETS Act will require federal evacuation plans to protect pets, and it's a good plan for us all - even if you don't like animals it's good for your karma.

The Feline Tarot

I'm actually quite a good reader of tarot cards, having spent a considerable portion of my life until this point entranced by the occult. I'm a bit rusty at not having done readings on a regular basis for awhile, but it's kind of like riding a bicycle...

The purrticular day that these pictures were taken was the day I shot the BDSM video, the Bondage of Miss Fortune. I was all inspired by the idea of destiny, and being at the mercy of the cards.

Lots of rope was used that day, all of the action that you see onscreen quite real - it was her very first video, although she had been a purrsonal slave of mine for some time.

Maybe I should get back to the cards soon....

And the Boots Came Back...

Just sold another pair of fetish boots - the ones pictured above. Quite nice really, in that they were very stable (chunky heels, big platforms), but essentially a little on the cheap "stripper" side. They were indeed nice for some thudding kinds of trampling, not to mention that with 7" heels they made me quite considerably tall.

So adieu, my dear boots.

In other boot news, my very first ever pair of fetish boots seem to refuse to leave. I have now sold them 3 times to 3 different boot fetishists and each and every time the monies arrive but without anywhere to ship them. Very odd to happen once, much less three times now. And no complaints or angry emails from the gentlemen who purrchased them. Maybe they're all the same purrson... not that this would be odd, I have had quite the assortment of "admirers" over the years, and been stalked several times, enough to be cautious.

They are quite trashed to be sure - I've owned them for many, many years. I purrchased them from the Magic Shoe Company in England way back when I had to send pound notes through the mail (no internet!) and just hope that they would arrive safely. Then pay a hefty duty as customs could never contain themselves and always ripped open my fetish purrchases. They're thigh high boots, 5" heels and 1" platforms, pointy, black real patent leather, inside zips. Large rips at the back ankle area on both boots from serious wear - those boots have travelled all over the world with me until they were literally hanging on for dear life! Very well-seasoned to be sure.

Being Afraid of BDSM

I am constantly amazed at how incredibly afraid everyone in the USA is about BDSM. Those of us who are involved in the scene don't think anything of it, that it's all consensual and therefore ok. Unfortunately with the current regime, this will protect no one. There is no such thing as a legally-condoned consensual beating...

If you're not involved in the adult website business, you may or may not know about the 2257 laws. And how the government is now prosecuting businesses it deems "obscene". Yes kittens, BDSM sites are among their biggest targets, because even the "straight" porn world thinks that we S&M practitioners are filthy and vile (well, at least long enough to cover their own asses).

So many folks are moving their websites offshore, which only partially deals with the problem. If you or your company are still located here in the US you potentially still have a very real problem, and may have someone knocking on your door late at night. Max Hardcore was recently raided. The operator of NowThatsFuckedUp was arrested. Even an online story site, Red Rose Stories, was shut down by the FBI.

Shouldn't they be searching for terrorists, by the way?

They're even talking about how to kill porn in church now on Porn Sunday, to rid their parishners of evil pornographic thoughts.

Sites, practitioners, and the like - both large and small - are getting out before the witch hunt really starts. I may not like every kind of porn out there but I will fight for it's right to exist (exceptions - kiddie porn and bestiality). Even some larger websites are shutting their doors.

Just because we're BDSM doesn't mean we're not porn. Lets all get that straight. My shoving a dildo up someone's ass is exactly the same (in fact, it's even worse) as being all airbrushed and giving someone a blowjob. We are all in the sex industry and need to all stand together and help each other when we can. This is going to get really, really ugly...

Medieval Cleavage

Amongst my many talents, I also make chainmail. Yes that kind of chainmail, the stuff that knights wore. The stuff that goth kids salivate over. For both men and women.

Over the years I did sell some pieces, but mainly smaller things like collars and bracelets. It's an incredibly labor-intensive process, each ring is attached one a time to it's neighbors in intricate patterns. At the beginning I was even making my own rings from galvanized steel wire I would buy at Home Depot (there it is - Pervert Paradise again), and built myself a little contraption that would allow me to wind the wire around it into long coils, then I cut the wire with a fine hacksaw to create nice, even rings. That was a huge pain in the ass, but there were no other sources for already made rings (except jewelry supply companies, and their rings were neither large enough nor nice enough for what I was making).

Then I found a door hinge supplier that was willing to make rings for me and sell them to me by the bag. Stainless steel rings, really nicely made, would arrive in these huge, heavy parcels and I would spent many hours creating pieces, researching patterns, and trying to create things that only my imagination had seen. Everyone who saw me in these pieces was impressed - the medieval/renaissance/SCA people, the fetish folks, the goth kids. Any everyone wanted a piece for themselves (especially my headpieces) - the only problem being that my pieces are so intricate that it takes a huge amount of time to create each one, therefore making each piece wildly expensive to create. Rings aren't cheap, and then to spend several weeks with two pliers in hand, bending rings and keeping track of patterns. So there was definitely a limited pool of people who could afford to commission work from me...

So most of what I created I made in my own size... so I could wear it! I still make some pieces now and then, and stand pliers at the ready should a substantial commission come my way...

The birthday countdown has started - only 24 days left until my birthday!

Dreaming of Bondage

To say that this kitty is fascinated by rope is a gigantic understatement -- ever since I first picked up a pile of Home Depot clothesline I've been conjuring up different ways to tie up willing (and occasionally not-so-willing) slaves.

I have had many, many bondage dreams over the years but they always always always focus on the technical: I dream about actual methods of binding, which are the best ways to constrict or allow access to certain areas of the body, what works and what doesn't, and how to do it. Thousands of feet of rope glide through my fingers in my dreams, and every time that I've woken up and remembered what I did in my dream I've found that it worked like a charm. Even if it was just an idea or an inspurration about how to tie someone, it works incredibly well.

The pictures here illustrate one such dream. This was taken a few years ago in my dungeon in downtown LA. The slave was one of my favorite boys for quite awhile while he was available to pose for me... his very first experience ever in BDSM was when he showed up for a session with me and wound up posing for bondage photos for hours.

I like both precarious positions as well as more stable ones, it just depends on what I'm trying to achieve. This one would fall under the banner of precarious - and was made more so by the fact that I was in a slightly evil mood, and felt that tickling his feet while he tried so hard to stay in the position was a good thing to do.

What can I say... taking advantage of tied-up men is something I'm always up for...

A Girl and Her Tools

I'm a huge collector of exotic paraphernalia... without a dungeon in which to store all of my evil items beautifully, they mostly sit in boxes these days, meticulously categorized (thanks to one of my ex-purrsonal slaves who had a knack for mind-numbing tedious work that I never could bring myself to do), awaiting their next victim.

I tried to do a little survey once to total up what all of my accoutrements were worth - and it startled me. I had to stop. Much of the collection were gifts from loyal slaves and admirers around the world, as well as many custom-made pieces concocted from various materials and based on a series of wicked dreams that I was having several years ago (I'm sure I'll expound on this topic again in the near future, knowing me...).



The whips in purrticular are the big-ticket items. All handmade, many ordered directly from their artisans, most tailored to my throwing style and specifics. Floggers, whips, cats, bullwhips, and other specialty pieces. They're also my purrsonal favorites, as I'm quite accurate with my whips. They excite me the most. They allow me to either vent my anger or slowly allow my wishes to be purrformed, depending on how and when I use them. They really do have their own purrsonalities - and good days and bad days.

One of my favorite whipmakers was Alan of Snake Pit Leather Works - I understand that he is no longer creating whips under that moniker (although the company still exists) - he was a very cool guy, really into the scene as well as being a first-rate whipmaker. I also really love the pieces that I have from DeTails Toys...

In looking through them I am struck that I never really invested in a longer bullwhip - most of my collection are 4-6 feet, much more practical for closeup, indoor "target" work (your ass being the target, naturally). The only one I had that was longer was a 10' cowhide whip -- more for the wicked crack it had and the commanding presence I made when I held it than for actual whipping. And I sold that awhile ago, as it was no longer giving me pleasure to have it.

It's always dangerous to get me talking about bullwhipping - it's one of my favorite things...

My Wicked Catwoman Fetish

I've been going through a few CDs of my photos recently and was struck by this purrticular photo... I think it really expresses a lot of the emotion that I try to convey when I'm dressed up in my Catwoman regalia... full catsuit, boots, ears, cat mask, my cat head belt and my full set of silver claws - not the ugly ones that are sold in so many fetish shops which cover the entire fingers and are more like pokers than claws - but a full set of 10 sterling silver claw rings that I purrchased to fit over my leather gloves. Add my black bullwhip and what do you get -- Purrfection!

Catwoman is a fetish I've had since I was a little kitten myself - I remember distinctly watching the original Batman series and thinking she was the most amazing looking woman I've ever seen. I'm speaking of course of the great Julie Newmar, but Eartha Kitt worked for me as well. There are photos of me dressed up as a black cat as a child for Halloween - yes, that may have been one of the easier costumes for my parents to throw together for me, but I prefer to think that purrhaps they knew there was a little something different about me, something that resonated with felines...

Not to mention the boots of course, 9 inch heels with 4 inch platforms, thigh high and all. I have those babies hanging on the outer door of my closet at home so I can admire them without needing a reason to...

And it inspires me to maybe go for it and make another liquid latex-covered catsuit...
