Mr. Harakuwa (春川ナミオ) was born in 1947, shortly after the end of the Second World War in Osaka. His artist name was made up combining the name of film actress Harukawa Masumi with an anagram of the name Naomi. A Fool's Love (痴人の愛) is a 1924-1925 novel by Japanese author Jun'ichirō Tanizaki (谷崎 潤一郎) with Naomi as its sadistic heroine. [1] [2]

OWK V - DNA Mismatch: Glorious but Doomed (Wronged, part III)

All hail[ed] the queen!

In the end, the OWK attracted only a few. Affluent men and women who share queen Patricia I harsh and often misandric vision of femdom. Dreaming big on the Dark Side won't keep the light on in Vanillastan once bills start piling up and the castle collapsing.

You and I, dear reader, are truly special. The two of us belong to an elite group that understands women are born to be worshiped. Sadly we are nothing but a drop in an indifferent ocean.

Tiny
Some years ago I did a rough estimate of the number of people into BDSM by using the percentage of people that use Facebook and multiply that by how many subscribers Fetlife had at the time. It's tiny, closer to one percent of one percent (0.01%) than to one percent (1%). That was in 2013, back when Fetlife had zero entrance barriers and didn't try to steal your phone number.

Latex as Art and Subversive Daywear

My journey into the world of latex continues with something less formal and even more fun. Part one: here.

Nurse Noah will see you now. (image: paper magazine)

As the world's 11th most rebellious slave it's my solemn duty to show the world the benefits of latex. It's the kind of behavior mistress expects of me. Also I'm on a quest to pervert the Dark Side from within. Highly successful I may add.

In other news: Today's vanilla perversion is an article in The Guardian. "NHS urged to avoid PPE gloves made in 'slave-like' conditions." We all know the answer to that, so let's focus on latex instead. It's a material you can do so much more with than just make black skin-tight catsuits. I for one love bright, happy colours, and it feels to me that's what latex is made for.

The image used to illustrate this article show Noah Cyrus as a latex nurse. Not only fitting but I also like the contrast. Sarcasm is still alive I guess. As to who Mrs. Cyrus is, no idea. That's not important, it's the outfit that counts.

OWK IV - Wrong Location (Too) (part II)

Location, location, location! [4]

Nope, nobody hijacked my URL, if you love what you do, better do it right. So where do you start? Location obviously.

Queen Hibiki (almost wrote mistress). By now you kinda get where this is going. All images in this series are dommes who have visited the OWK. [3] But there's more... Nighty night everyone. (image: Hibikism.com)

Continued from OWK III - What Went Wrong? (part I)

Yesterday, I wrote one reason the original OWK didn't make it, was the fact the owners didn't run it as a business. [2] It's far from the only reason. Equally important in why the OWK was born with flawed DNA is the location. Černá is situated in the heart of the modern-day Czech republic, meaning cold winters and hot summers. Imagine you buy a house to rent out only to discover that because of the weather you can only collect six months a year. You forgot it is freezing cold during the winter. That's gonna be a drain on your finances.

OWK III - What Went Wrong? (part I)

The short answer: it's all about the business & location, location, location, combined with too much of an extreme ideology.Very expensive fun also.

The question "what went wrong" can be misleading. In the case of the OWK, I don't think so however. What does it take for the world's pre-eminent - and perhaps only ever - full-time femdom society to close it's doors?

Money makes the world go round
Some men balk at the prices pro-dommes charge. They conveniently forget pro-dommes have to pay bills too. Break it down and I'm actually surprised they don't charge more. Think about it, apart from the daily cost of living, tribute should include pension payments, liability and health insurance, vacation pay and compensation for loss of privacy, just to name a few.

And that is before you take into account most successful pro-dommes invest time and energy in their sessions, meaning they prepare for sessions, putting considerable energy in them and because of that don't do 40 hours of sessions a week.

"Kiss The Other Sheik"

No dungeon to clean and watched everything on Netflix? Here's a suggestion.

The movie poster is probably more fun than the movie itself.

As you know Dutch was bitten by a radio-active submissive spider at the tender age of 11. As a result I have enhanced sensibility to all things femdom in the vanilla world. That gift comes at a price though, I'm afraid of fear.

Some time ago I saw this little set of animated gifs and my superior submissive spider senses began to tingle. Probably some movie I thought. But what is "Kiss the other sheik" all about and is it worth seeing? After all, it's flagged as questionable for children.

OWK II - A Day in the Life

Even though the grandest experiment in femdom didn't last long, most of those who have visited the OWK, got hooked for life.

Continued from part I: OWK - Rise of an Unique Femdom Project.

The OWK, located near the Czech city of Černá, was Disneyland for femdom aficionados. During its short run from 1996 to 2008, it made an life-long impression on those who actually stayed there. To this day, both actual and wannabe visitors mourn its demise

So, what was it like? Surprisingly, stories about visits to the OWK are hard to find. When it comes to images and clips, it is the opposite. Whoever was in charge of marketing for the OWK did a superb job. A decade after the world's finest femdom fantasy shut down, its imagery continues to rule the internet. Therein also lies the problem. Those who look from a distance at the OWK see something that probably never was.

OWK I - Rise of an Unique Femdom Project

After running teasers and spoilers for six months - being kind here - let's cut to the chase.

Goddess Amazon, here pictured at Residenz Avalon in Berlin [couldn't resist] visited the OWK in better days.

Ever since Game of Thrones decided not to go out with a spectacular bang, HBO is frantically searching for a replacement. One of the ideas being floated, is a show called "Confederate" about a post-Civil War society where slavery is legal. Floating that idea causes the inevitable backlash.

In the year 1580 the Ming dynasty is ruling China for 212 years. It will take another 64 years for the Middle Kingdom's emperor to lose its heavenly mandate. In that same year, the Battle of Omosu took place in neighbouring Japan. Recent archaeological evidence confirms wide female involvement: DNA tests on 105 bodies revealed that 35 of them were female. Closer to home, also that year, construction for a castle near the Czech city of Černá began.

Professional Dominatrices Are The Best

The best, just not exclusively.

Ties are optional, showers and respect are not. (image: artist unknown)

At times Dutch can be a bit naive. Perhaps I take things for granted or maybe "I don't look further than my nose long is" [3], but I never realized just how terrible some people behave when it comes to voicing negative opinions about professional dominatrices.

When it comes to men, it kinda feels like they're trying to score brownie points with lifestyle mistresses by repeating the mantra of how they will never visit a professional dominatrix over and over again. Apart from the fact that many professional dominatrices are also lifestyle dommes, I don't believe them. For one, the 20 to one domme deficit makes that highly unlikely. On top of that, men are men. In the meantime they pretend to preach the gospel of female supremacy. In a world where things no longer add up 1+1=11 makes more and more sense. Then again, to me it always has.

Japanese Mistress Bible

And yes another blog recommendation, but only if you can ready Japanese. [Working on it, working on it. I'll start any moment now.] [1] [2]

Raw power. Can I be your Forest Gump, my queen? Please? (Image: Kitagawa Pro, found on Buchi)

Back in early 2017 Ron mailed me about Yapoo's Market and queen Naomi Asano and her vision on femdom and BDSM. Included was a link to a Japanese blog about the historiography of Japanese femdom video work in the past 20 or 30 years.

The scans on the blog are from old "Mistress Bible" magazines as far as I can understand. But I can't read the Japanese Interview of our Femdom Amaterasu Naomi Asano, nor feed a translation program with the Japanese script, Ron concludes.

Harry Is A Hero

Never mistake the slave for the man.

"Tossed aside because it would distract the press from writing about the bond prince Andrew and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein share?" See how easy it is?

Blogging about some guy that should have listened to his wife was only partly in jest. All women want their husbands to be tall, successful and wealthy, so both spouses share the blame for their fiasco. When it matters, try harder and never quit.

Forever out of luck can mean many things. What if you are born in a golden cage yet nobody cares? All eyes on big bro, dude will one day ascend to grannie's throne. If dad were a commoner, he'd be retired long ago. Not if daddy is named Prince Charles and first in line. After which comes his first-born, whose single purpose in life is to entertain the masses that look up to twue royalty. Said person’s uncle excluded obviously.
