The Stanford Prison Experiment

When being a prisoner femdom style feels safer than participating in a scientific experiment

Last month Philip Zimbardo passed away. Most likely that name doesn't ring a bell but perhaps the Stanford Prison Experiment does. In 1971 a group of 24 volunteers was divided into 12 guards and 12 inmates. The 1971 psychological experiment was designed to study participants' reactions and behaviors in a prison environment over the course of 14 days. However from the very start guards became increasingly brutal in their tactics to stop the prisoners from escaping. Christina Maslach visited the experiment on day six and was troubled by what she saw. The psychologist confronted Zimbardo, who played the role of superintendant and as such was in charge of the guards. He ended the experiment that same day.

Today many consider the Stanford Prison Experiment to be unethical. One element that directly casts doubt on it's scientific merit is the fact that those who responded to the ad, mostly did so for monetary gain, making the pool of participants all but random. Volunteers were paid $15 per day, roughly equal to $113 in 2023, meaning that for the whole fortnight, participants were paid $1862 for the full duration of the experiment. Zimbardo also "instructed guards to find ways to dominate the prisoners, not with physical violence, but with other tactics, verging on torture, such as sleep deprivation and punishment with solitary confinement", thereby directly intervening in the outcome of his very own research project.

The project went of the rails so bad that when one participant staged a hunger strike, the other prisoners, rather than considering this inmate a hero "and following along in his strike, they chanted together that he was a bad prisoner and a troublemaker."

Looking back half a century later, a consensus that seems to be forming is not so much that William Golding was right in 1954 when he wrote Lord of the Flies [2]  [he was not] but that the guards were led towards extreme behaviour by Zimbardo himself. Not only did Dr. Zimbardo not stop his guards, he even instructed them in the way they should behave. Nature or nurture, the answer will forever be blowing in the wind.

For quite some time now I've been wondering about the recent increase in the popularity of prison play -  or so it seems. Then again perhaps it's not so much that whole prison scene but the warden in chief and her crew behind it. The question that remains is what happens to a man, how does his attitude change, when he signs up voluntarily for femdom prison? One day, one day I'll tell you.

Interesting article in the Financial Times about the Doctor Who theme song.

Delia Derbyshire, who helped create the Doctor Who theme in 1965.

Notes

[1] Keep in mind that the standards in the 1970s for scientific experiments were different from today.

[2] In the novel Lord of the Flies boys turn into beasts after their plane crashes on a deserted island.

[3] In the real Lord of the Flies, six boys are shipwrecked for 15 months. Rather than fight for power, they cooperate. “One day, in 1977, six boys set out from Tonga on a fishing trip ... Caught in a huge storm, the boys were shipwrecked on a deserted island. What do they do, this little tribe? They made a pact never to quarrel.”

Outdoor Fun

Spring is here

[and the new Doctor. Who? Yes, him]


Four years ago I wrote about the impending spring that was just around the corner. As the post's masthead image I selected an absolutely lovely and stunning photo of mistress Saint Lawrence surrounded by cherry blossom trees in full bloom. Excellent choice if I may say so.

It also turned out to be the worst spring in recent history. Why? Covid-19 had us all locked up at home, watching Tiger King. At the time I thought it was funny to post an image of Carole Basking and her second husband as mistress and slave on their wedding day. Her first hubby clearly died, erhm married the wrong woman and because of that we shall never speak of marriages again. Or so I thought. Then one day an ex of mine got married on my birthday, which means, yes, that marriage has made a spectacular return to the writers room but that's for another time.

Today I want to discuss something different with you. No, not summer dresses, lovely as they may be. It's climate change and the benefits it brings to femdom, more specially the advantages of high temperatures in early April that allows mistress to toy with her slave outdoors this early in springtime. Of course you can argue it doesn't matter whether or not the slave likes the temperature but where is that deeper sense of servitude dude? It's all about her. Why should mistress be forced to wander outside when it's cold. Just to punish you? There are easier - and more comfortable - ways to do that when spring not quite sparkles. Temperature wise at least.

Early April temperatures in the Netherlands hit 20 degrees Celcius. Then rain. Days on end. And more rain. One month on it finally looks like spring has arrived. 20 Degrees today and 25 tomorrow. Why not take you slave out for some fun? Just make sure to tie him up, you really don't want him to pick you flowers. [You know it's gonna be tulips, don't you?]

[1] Dr. Who is back. Yes he is. And look at that date. Today is the 11th, can't be a coincidence. And it's gonna be a double bill, two episodes back to back. And you know what I always say 1+1 =2 but also 11. This definitely is not a coincidence. It's on in about an hour and yes we get the BBC over here in Holland. Normally I would not go and watch television given the lovely weather but I'm making an exception for Dr. Who. Really looking forward to Ncuti Gatwa as 15.

And what about Mrs. Flood? Enjoy.

Learning the Language of Rope

Today is not about tying the knot

Just don't trip over the rope and guard your privacy. Not everybody understands happiness has many faces

The awe inspiring Claire Adams from Men in Pain in a classic case of learning the ropes.

Dutch had a busy Christmas, so I watched this years Doctor Who Christmas episode only now. The sound was terrible, too much background noise but I do think I heard 15 say that he was learning the language of rope. And yes, in a Goblin airship that would not have been out of place at Six Flags but who cares. Just like you, my instant gut reaction was: finally. Sadly things are not always what they seem [1] and the whole thing quickly unravelled. But what a lovely title for my last post of 2023.

Pure

Together

Even at the other end of the whip she is there for you

I may break you but it never will break us.

He must be in a bad place right now. Just look at the way she is comforting him. How she pulls him close and the way she tries to alleviate some of his pain. The pain she inflicted upon him. That's not what the image shows but you and I know. She probably didn't hesitate when he screamed. No, most likely it made her smile and gave her a buzz. He is hers and she is his. Next time will probably be worse. But when all is over they're in each other's arms. No way in the world any outsider will ever understand just how pure and unique it is what the two of them share.

This week the Netherlands went to the polls. The biggest winner turned out to be the far right Freedom Party, who incidentally also want to cut aid to Ukraine. That would be a huge mistake, even if you are just selfish. A free Ukraine is essential to the security in Western Europe. Not that it's the main reason to support Ukraine. Ukraine is an independent country and should be free. Sadly there is this new deadly disease called Ukraine fatique.


Notes

[1] Watched 'An Adventure in Time and Space' the other day, a dramatization about how it all began for Doctor Who. The program was specially created for the show's  50th anniversary back in 2013. Ten years later and my favourite Timelord is turning 60.

If you think of Doctor Who as an advent calendar, back in 2013, we were - suprise - at number 11 with Matt Smith portraying the Eleventh Doctor. We all know what comes before 11, but what comes after 13? Is it 10 or 14? A bit of both. Tonight the Doctor returns. [2] David Tennant once again becomes the Doctor, yes number 14 this time. It's complicated, it always is but who cares. It also shows just what a mess the Whitaker/Chibnall era has been for the BBC to do something so desperate. What I think is not fair is that originally Ncuti Gatwa was cast as the 14th Doctor but is now 15. Why not let the incoming Doctor star in the celebration of 60 years of Doctor Who. Easy to preach the gospel about how equality and inclusiveness but to act accordingly is something very different altogether. Shame on you BBC.

Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor

Anyway, some two weeks ago showrunner Russell T Davies  spoke to the Guardian. He said among other things that "scenes in upcoming episodes of Doctor Who will be ‘violent and scary’". Doctor Who returns this month with three special episodes featuring David Tennant as the 14th Doctor, to coincide with its 60th anniversary. The first episode is family friendly, Pixaresque almost. "The second one, Wild Blue Yonder, is darker. Not scary – it’s genuinely weird,”"
"The third, The Giggle, features Neil Patrick Harris as a toymaker and is “nuts, completely mad, frightening”, Davies said. “That one will scare you.”"

Guess what, I'm looking forward to it. Also also excited to see Neil Patrick Harris come on to the show. We'll talk more Doctor Who later. Just one question, am I the only one wondering how Doctor Ruth [the Fugitive Doctor] is doing?

[2] Oops, programme already aired yesterday, have to catch up later.

Dutch Sent Back to School

It's gonna be a unpleasant change of seasons

Continued from Cruel Autumn Ahead.

"It's time for you to go back to school." Is it suddenly cold in the dungeon or is it just me? What?

"It's time for you to go back to school." Huh? It's gonna take a zillion years before I'm smart enough to build a Tardis. Doctor Who is not even real. What's the point? By now mistress is sitting in front of me, oozing personal gravity.

"OK, I better explain. This is a very serious discussion we are about to have so let's do it properly. Strip!" Being naked in front of mistress is hot, the proof is usually somewhere in the middle of my body. Undressing in front of her is not. It makes me feel small, like she is studying me under a microscope. Mistress on the other hand enjoys the show. What I have learned over time is that only one thing matters. Don't blink. I do.

Lady Mercedes of Avalon, Berlin's Second Interview With Lady Sas

Why Avalon had to close

Dreaming of the day her fury meets my fever. It's both frightening and marvelous. {End of personal note.]

Lady Mercedes is smiling. Stop smiling back dude. You know what's next. Oops. I get it.

The other day German femdom blogger Lady Sas polled whether she should continue to post  both in German and English. The answer is no, which makes an aweful lot of sense given Germany's bold, proud history when it comes to femdom. Remember reading that Lady Daria of the Warsaw Prison also studied German. Why am I not surprised? So did Dutch. Bit rusty these days but I'll manage.

Barbie Is The Best Femdom Movie Ever

Total depravity in pink

Corrupt and conquer those Vanilla's

Barbie and Ken on a bike through Dutch tulip fields with windmills in the back

Barbie loves the colour pink. No spoilers so far. In case you haven't seen the movie, do it. It's highly enjoyable. Still no spoilers but be careful, from here on there will be spoilers, like the fact Ryan Gosling plays Ken. After all some girls prefer blondes.

We last met Barbie when Philomena Cunk interviewed queen Patricia, formerly of the Other World Kingdom. Forget the OWK, forget the Kendom, what I wanna know is what the world Barbie lives in is called. It's either Barbie World or World of Barbie. There's also an outsize chance its name is Pinkalonia but I really hope not. Anyway it's a weird place. Barbie's house has no walls, she drinks coffee but she doesn't [cup is empty] and all her friends are called Barbie too. And Barbie wakes up happy every single morning, which given the outlandish use of the colour pink, is hard to believe. Oh and all the Ken's are called called. Yes Ryan Gosling too. The only unique character is Allen, Ken's buddy. Must be a tough life to be the only non-Ken male in Barbie World. Also rather odd but each Barbie has her own Ken. Imagine me getting lost at the annual mistress-slave convention and looking for My mistress. How far do you think shouting 'mistress, mistress' wil get me? Barbylonia is a complete mystery to me. Don't worry both Barbie and Ken [all of them] are equally clueless. And that's not all they're clueless about.

Our Anniversary

After this I plan to put my time machine in permanent storage

What is love?
You know when you see her.

Made a mistake today, a big one. Forgot to tell someone I love her. Yes she knows, but this is no ordinary day for her and she needed to hear that from me. And how proud I am of her. Always struck me as odd to say you're proud of someone. It's their achievement but if that's how it works, let's do it. And whenever I think of her and what she's done, a big grin fills my face. My heart is about to explode, guess that's a good thing. [It is.]

All done for tomorrow. Ironed a shirt and some cotton handkerchiefs. No worries I also carry paper ones. I'm a pro, which means I also have a couple of sticker books in my bag for little Miss great granddaughter. Yes, it's a funeral. If you've been following this blog for some time you know I have a way with words, but no worries. I'm more of a hugger. 

“In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.”


― Maya Angelou  

Today is exactly 11 years since we first met. And what a journey it has been. Despite the fact we both went our seperate ways. Or did we?

In 1977 NASA launched Voyager 1, a space probe. Sixteen days earlier its twin, Voyager 2 was sent on its way. Don't expect any logic in the order in which they were launched. Life is not about making sense. In May of this year, Voyager 1 had travelled some 24 billion km away from earth. It is the most distant human-made object from Gaia ever. And the amazing thing is, we can still hear it. Everybody else hears nothing but static but the scientists at NASA continue to pick up the data Voyager is sending home. Amazing.

Obviously we have grown more distant but every now and then we still talk. No not in words, we're much more advanced than that. She and I share an intimate static, a tongue just for the two of us. Don't be jealous, one day it'll happen to you too. All it takes is time and honesty.

In 2012, the year we met, Voyager 1 left for interstellar space, the region beyond the influence of the stars. If atoms had free will, this is where they would be, out of reach. In reality it is mostly empty with an average of one atom per cubic centimeter. Sounds like a lot, but no. Also these atoms have no free will. Kinda similar to falling in love. We have no say in it, no control over it, it just happens. Usually when you least expect it. Isn't that beautiful? But when you're number is up, embrace it with all you have. We did. Those of you who have been following this blog for a while now, know there is this little traffic jam between my heart and my head. Took me some time to say I love you, then again, those are just words. Guess what she said. "I knew." Smart never sounded more sexy.

No pain, no sadness, just gratitude and happiness. Maybe we'll meet again, perhaps we won't. So what? Forget about what if. I never wondered. There is no next life, this is it.

To be honest, I started writing this post a while back. And finished it several weeks after our anniversary. Nobody will ever know, let's keep it between us. Nope, Dutch is not late to the party, most of the time I'm the light of the party. But no matter how much you love or loved someone, life is in the here and now. Two years ago Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer, stage IV, AKA final phase. Doctors initially tried to ward him of receiving treatment. What's the use? We disagreed. A small miracle happened, today the tumors in his lungs are about 1/100th of the size they were back then, that day we walked into the hospital for the first time. Of course heaven is always just out of reach, so intestinal cancer it was. Against the odds, surgery proved highly succesful. Dad was back on his feet, up and running, a week later. Once wrote Dad has been to hell and back before, this was mere a trip to the supermarket, so to speak. Still. Last week we went to the hospital again, doctors being worried about some of the scar tissue. Haven't slept in days but everything turned out fine. Imagine.

She's not my first love, but eleven years on, she matters beyond words. I once said to someone I loved, I'll go last. Let me finish up here then I'll cross over and find you. Seen it over and over again, two people blessed with love for all eternity. The more decades they share, the luckier they are. Don't we all want that? Then one of them passes away. Seemingly unfazed, their other half takes care of whatever is left to do before they pass away rather sudden for someone in such good health. Health is not just your body. Nothing more healthy than to give and return love. After decades, what's the point in soldiering on allone Nobody enjoys wandering through an empty desert. In one of my first posts I wrote about Baucis and Philemon, a couple from ancient Greek mythology. For their hospitality, the gods rewarded their wish to be together for as long as they could. Upon their death, they became trees. But even trees have to go some day. "Goodbye my love." "Goodbye my love." Harsher words have never been spoken. This is it. The here and now is all we have. And if you're truly lucky, whatever happens, good or bad, you deal with it together. Even if the outlook is grim, facing it together is a privilege. If it happens to the two of you and you can, you're blessed.

Mum passed away exactly ten years ago this summer. In the days leading up to her death, I had this recurring dream that my love would fall out of the sky, in the car seat right next to me. Somehow everything would be allright. That did not happen, but one crucial night she saved my live. Not sure if she keeps up with my blogging adventures, but I never told her this in person. Whenever Dad and I are at the hospital, I see mostly elderly couples. His burden is her burden and vice versa. Remember how I wrote about Harm Me To Hurt You. It's that kind of connection - done right. Yes, we both dabbled a bit in kink but it's not why we love each other. Once told her: the woman? Always. The woman and the mistress? Even better. Just the mistress? Never. She smiled.

Mistress is always right? Nonsense. Cannot disagree with the woman you love? What is she to you then, some sort of kinky crash test dummy? If you love her, speak up. Send her to see the doctor. Sorry, I mean, we should go see your GP because I'm worried about you. I'll drag you if I have to. Always remember, whatever comes next, we'll do it together. And yes that includes holding hands when it's crunch time at the doctor's office. D'oh. Disagree with her when you have. That's love too. What if you have kids together? And we all know proper parenting means Mom and Dad are equals. Rises way above any kind of silly game you can come up with. If you hope to spend the rest of your lives together, there's more than femdom. She was always ahead of me. Basket for our mobiles so we can have proper family dinners. Excellent. Yes, that's my girl too, the woman who, if she could, would have her phone surgically implanted in her arm. She even offered to go camping trip with me. Imagine. I just smiled, outside and inside. Very much not her thing but she wanted to try it. By now I imagine she's writing the ultimate guide on how to win any man's heart. When she does, it's gonna sell out in seconds.

Most of the time people are just stupid individuals, I am. Initially there is little difference between being hit by a ton of bricks and struck with love. But when it happens to two people at the same time - me still not being aware of the transitional proces I'm being in - and she calls you one morning, wow. And then again. Oh, did I already call you? Twice she tells you the exact same thing, that she loves you. I was in bed, floating. A little later the phone rings a second time. Same thing all over. I'm happy to have survived so much bliss. The night before a 'friend' slipped some MDMA in her drink. My Angel doesn't remember a thing. It's both beautiful and sad. If two people are so deeply connected, this should be a shared memory. It wasn't. Her precious gift to me to cherish forever.

On the other hand, the absurd amount of trust she put in me, a stranger at the time, is breathtakingly overwhelming. How can any man live up to that? A beautiful burden, yes, but nevertheless a burden. Don't worry it's a happy burden.

Love is crazy and if it isn't, you're probably with the wrong person. Ours is. Then it ended, the chewing gum way. Try to tear it apart. We kept on talking, kind of irregular but who says time is linear. I remember one special night when the doctors had given up hope on Mum. Being me - and exhausted - I technically messaged her on  t+1: 'hey. today. anniversary.' Trust me, seeing my phone flicker up just moments later is unlike anything else. Especially that night. And no, I didn't tell her. But right there and then something she said a while back, came to mind. "When my Mom passes away, I'll be very sad." That night we talked about the weather or something. And Ascott I think.

Another time after we broke up, she fell ill, seriously ill. After a day or so without any kind of reply I was worried. That's not her. Passport ready on my desk, staring back at me, so I bought a last minute ticket. About 90 minutes before I was about to leave, she texted. Friends just dropped by with soup. Some may find it odd. Just remember this: your ex doesn't tell you she is gravely ill - and worried about 'the fam' - if she doesn't want you in her life. Anyway, I threw out the ticket.

Don't worry, this is no some half-baked attempt at getting back together after all this time. She went her way and I went mine. If you truly love someone, you do leave a piece of your heart behind. Beautiful, isn't it? Imagine two people falling in love. Hard. One night she shows it in such a way that the brakes come off for all eternity. Impressive? Yes? Never a burden. Still you keep on wondering how you can live up to her expectations. Quick reminder, this is a story about two people, hopelessly in love. Her happiness is all that matters. Don't worry, she and I share an unique rhythm to connect. It just flows naturally. It's good, as in really good. Don't worry, it's gonna happen to you too one day. Just be yourself. And say hello when you see her.

There is no such thing as 'they made it'. What does it even mean? Two people married for 50-plus years and nobody knows whether or not they were happy. But hey they made it. So what? I love her. She loves me. This time zero assumption or arrogance. To love each other and being together are necessarily the same thing.

Back in 2013 Mom couldn't go on anymore. Our Mother passed away shortly after seeing her granddaughter one last time. Mum waited for her. To this day I wonder what seeing her granddaughter must have meant to her. As for us, not all lovers spend a lifetime together, no regrets. OK, would've been nice, very nice. And yes, in those days before Mom died, there was nothing I wanted more than for her to be by my side. I needed her by my side. All it took was just one word. But that wouldn't be fair. One night, before we fell asleep, she asked: 'what will your family say when you bring home a black girl for Christmas?'

It's difficult to translate emotions into words. What I really meant back then was not for her to fall out of the sky to give me strength, but to meet Mom. "Hi Mom, this is Her." And everything would be alright. Only last year we found out the secret hell Mom's life had been. Now I crave the impossible even more. The day she died Mom said something beautiful. "Just love each other, it's all there is." So true. Real love, long, short, today, tomorrow or yesterday, whether you're together or not, lasts forever. I know she loves me. And I love her. It's one thing to love someone and another thing to tell them you do. Apart from the memories, the best thing perhaps is that I finally understand it's better to say you love rather than to assume they know. So I started telling those I love, I love them more often. Here we go:

I love you.

"Would you care to repeat what I just said?"

Das Zuchthaus III: Prison Application Pending

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Or not?

Previously on Das Zuchthaus: Why is Dutch not in some long forgotten German prison, hauling screams of despair. Privacy perhaps? With das Zuchthaus' latest mailing also came an application form.

Das Zuchthaus in Germany for a special BDSM, femdom & prison play experience with mistress Frau Aufseherin and visitor lady Daria from the Warsaw Prison in neighbouring Poland.
Diabolical Dream Team: Frau Aufseherin with lady Daria imprisoning the prisoner.

One thing I've always admired pro-dommes for - apart from their hot outfits and infinite toy bags of course - is superior people skills. Think about it. Random stranger walks into your dungeon. A lifetime of dreams and desires all pent up, and he is pinning his hopes on you. What can go wrong. It's easy to bash them but make no mistake, successful pro-dommes pose excellent people skills, honed over many years, putting us all to shame.

Take a Bow

Hardcore happiness at the end of the rainbow

Immersive beauty

You've seen them too. Your first reaction was: "what a bunch of weirdos." But secretly you envy them. How the couple connects, how they click and how their love is beyond compare.

Clearly there's a secret ingredient that makes relationships work. Let's hope scientists - or Gordon Ramsey - never discover the recipe behind it. Let alone Disney and Hallmark.

'Born To Make you Crawl' - Mistress Roberta

From the 'what a woman'-department

What if crawling comes naturally - AKA the easy part?

Hand in glove? The wonderful mistress Roberta on a visit to The English Mansion.

The other day I read an article about a woman, newly available and looking for love. In her forties, which is good, she rattled of the usual list. Tall, educated [whatever that means], stable, mature, good job and  - hold your horses -  a full head of hair. Women and sexism, whenever the two of them meet, its love child is ugly, no exceptions.

What Wouldn't You Do With 44 Billion Dutch?

Thanks for nothing Mr. Musk

Dutch' birthday bash in full swing. Hardcore. If only. (image: Divine Bitches)

Hardcore hangover. What else can I say? My birthday bash was beautiful. Until my alarm went of the next morning. Without 44 billion in the bank. At least this time I didn't wake up with a pillow in my arms instead of her. So not complaining if it was her instead. Empty arms hurt much more than an empty bank account. Some guys have all the luck.

Blue Birthday

Today is the day!

Twitter is sort of an LBO, leveraged buy-out, meaning Elon Musk pays much less than 44 billion. The majority is a loan force-fed onto Twitter. Yes, that's right. Elon Musk buys the company with Twitter's own money. The little blue bird is now looking at an interest bill of about one billion annually, which it cannot sustain for long. There are going to be savings, cuts and raids - finraids. If Twitter has a pension fund and Musk smart lawyers, they're gonna bleed it dry. And that's just one example. Welcome to vampire capitalism 101.

Summer's Over

Happy autumn everyone

Now that's what I call a lazy summer.

Think of your Love and mistress. If the imagine in your mind is not full colour, radiant, shiny and sunny, there's something wrong.

Guess the warm days are over. Believe it or not but Dutch owns a bike. Yes an actual one, one with two wheels. Yes two, not 11. And I'm not afraid to use my bicycle. Sunday I went shopping on my bike for winter clothes. Guess what? The internet has reduced old-school brick-and-mortar shops to convenience stores. You only go there when you forgot something and need it now. For everything else there's the internet. Who doesn't buy their cool power tools online these days? [1]

Anyway, I went to buy gloves, after all winter is coming. Later that day I did some gardening. Looking at the last flowers, I was thinking of how the summer of 2022 started. Don't get me wrong, I love how the seasons change but summer remains my favourite. Especially the ones without Covid-19 lock downs. Some of you may find that odd given my love of bondage. How to explain? Safe, sane and consensual perhaps?

Twitter Femdom Is Fake

It's a sin [science/porn]

"The Disney Channel teaches you that you should hate your stepmother, Pornhub teaches you that you should make love to her." [from the comments]  

porn intimacy, femdom style

I vividly remember my first porn magazine. Around ten years old and me and the other boys in the neighbourhood were preparing for a fun fight with the next street by picking buds large enough to throw at the enemy. There it was, in the bushes, a discarded porn magazine. No more war, we all wanted to see what the fuzz was all about. Not for long. Porn was boring, stupid and gross. Within minutes we ditched the magazine where we found it.  it. That didn't last very long, we found it's boring, stupid and gross. Then we heard a fire engine and threw it back were we found it. Fire engines are so much cooler than [naked] girls. Anyway girls are stupid. All girls are stupid. Firetrucks are not. How times have changed.

Ariel Burgess' Artist Impressions of Dominant Women

As curated by mistress Sidonia of the English Mansion 

Take a walk on the wild side of art.

The character of Semirhage from 'The Wheel of Time' series of books as drawn by artist Ariel Burgess. 

Sometimes other bloggers have something that is so cool, I just have to write about. Remember Paltego's ice road truckers femdom style? [7] That image amazes me every time I see it. And now mistress Sidonia of the English Mansion, who, earlier this month, published the latest installment in her series that go by the name of 'In Blood Red'.

Don't blame me for being late, blame the Google blogger software, it refuses to show my entire blogrol. For four years now mistress Sidonia - a true femdom original - has featured the work of artist Ariel Burgess.

Workmate or DIY Berkley Horse?

When worlds collide 

Don't believe the hype, there is no such thing as camaraderie among slaves. Friends? Forget it. How many feel sorry for a slave being punished by his mistress? Most envy him. Seriously, the guy is in trouble and all you want is to take his place? Makes me wanna cry.

Same thing with my power tools. Other slaves don't care whether or not I get 'm back. Not even a word of encouragement. [1] Not even a simple 'hang on in.' No, nothing. I keep on hoping. That one day mistress gives me back my power tools. No, not waiting for support from my fellow slaves. Those days are over.

Chillax Baby Slave

Slave Baby anyone?

In the end, what man can continue to serve a woman he doesn't love?

Life is full of nostalgia. Oops wrong image.

A couple of British pounds and an old Oyster card [OV chipkaart] are lingering in my desk drawer for years now. So I give 'm to a friend, planning a trip to London to watch football in a couple of weeks. Makes sense, doesn't it? Also brings back memories. It happens. Whatever, there is a time and place for everything, including emotions and nostalgia. Shelve 'm. Definitely not now. I'm so cool.
