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.

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.

Green Flags in Kink

Ms. K. makes Twitter a lot more fun 

Now that's what I call enthusiastic consent. And yes dommes need to consent too. Seriously.(image Ms. K. on Twitter.)

Despite the horror show that Twitter is [1] I truly enjoyed the account of Ms. K. Loved the thing with the Workmate. Not just that Ms. K. also has lots of humor and takes safety seriously. One post that especially stands out is a retweet about green flags in kink. It's a short list with do's before you enter the dungeon. 

"understands the importance of explicit, enthusiastic consent."

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.

The One Without... Regrets?

Why not make memories instead?

The eternal mistress Mir. (image: mistress Mir)

Rachel: Alright, let me see. Uma Thurman, Winona Ryder, Elizabeth Hurely, Michelle Pfeiffer, and... Dorothy Hammill?
Ross: Hey, it's my list.
Rachel: Okay, honey, you do realize she only spins like that on ice.

Friends, season three, episode five: The gang all consider what five celebrities would be on their "freebie list"--people they can sleep with without anyone getting upset; Ross finally narrows his list down by eliminating Isabella... then he bumps into her.

Ross: What? You don't think I'd go up to her?
Rachel: Ross, it took you ten years to finally admit you liked me.

Monica: Rach? Are you really gonna let him do this?
Rachel: Honey, he's about to go hit on Isabella Rossillini. I'm just sorry we don't got popcorn.

Isabella: Is that the list?
Ross: Yes.
Isabella: Can I see it?
Ross: Um, no.
Isabella: I'm not on the list!
Ross: But, see, that's not the final draft.
Isabella: It's laminated.
Ross: Okay, see, you were on my list. But then my friend, Chandler, brought up the very good point that you are international. So I bumped you for Winona Ryder. Local.
Isabella: You know, it's ironic, because I have a list of five goofy coffeehouse guys. And yesterday, I just bumped you for that guy over there.
Ross: Oh no, no, wait, wait! Isabella, don't... don't just dismiss this so fast. I mean, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Isabella: Yeah, for you. 

Cold.

Spanktown School

Sounds delicious 

Look what I learned today in history class.

Glad I don't have to go back to school anymore, not even the Spanktown school.

It's late August and as I wrote last time it's back to school for the kids in Holland. According to Wikipedia - which, unlike mistress, is not always right - schools in the United States usually reopen Wednesday after Labor Day, which means early September.

Southeast of New York is the town of Rahwah, New Jersey. "Known in the last century as Spanktown, the name having been given because an early settler publicly took his spouse across his knee and chastised her." No doubt US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett approves. I don't. All spankings should be consensual and bring people joy. Not in the heat of the moment of course but you know what I mean.

Of course Spanktown had a school, how else do you learn? It didn't survive because these days it's a cemetary which is a bit odd.

Not sure how they motivated their pupils but one can dream. Something like this perhaps?

Two teachers 'educating' a student. Some only learn the hard way.

Back to School

What if?

More nostalgia, sort of.

A little one on one adult education.

Bye bye Summer. It's late August and it's back to school for the young ones in Holland. After Covid-19 it would be nice for them to have an uninterrupted year, not just studying but also hanging out with friends after school, in the afternoon, playing sports and other stuff, whether it is the school newspaper, drama club or chess club. What matters is that kids are no longer confined to their rooms as part of the fight against Covid-19. If it happens again, surely there must be better solutions.

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.

Das Zuchthaus - An Introduction

Look what I found online mommy

Prison with extra's [as in additional punishment]

Das Zuchthaus has lovely artwork, must be a lovely place to stay.

For some reason [language may have something to do with it] the almighty multi-coloured search engine that sees no evil has decided that Britain and Germany are top destinations for men who are into femdom [whatever that means].

On top of it both countries also have an abundant supply of castles. Just mentioning it in case you're into Harry Potter femdom cosplay. And don't tell me such a thing doesn't exist. For a long time now I've been wondering about something less cruel than Azkaban - a place where wizards lock up their fellow magicans. 

'Whip It'

Devolution vs devotion

Mistress taught you to read between the lines so why don't you?

Goddess Joanna from Latin Beauties makes her slave kiss her whip.

BDSM music is boring. Endless listicles where the only variation is the track order [with a few exceptions here and there]. Obviously topping the charts is Enigma. Why? Beats me. Another inescapable 'classic' if you will is Devo's Whip It. Perhaps because it has the word whip in the title.

The Financial Times hosts an irregular column about the 'Life of a song'. Personal favourite. Last November they discussed Whip It (€). Ten years before the track was released - in 1970 - the Ohio National Guard opened fire on students protesting against the Vietnam war in what is called Kent State massacre.

Do Not Buy Stainless Steel or Titanium Rings

Don't

"Please do not buy stainless steel or titanium [cock] rings. They seem cool until you can't get them off."[SaltyEM on Twitter]

This is a fun hospital. Look at the gorgeous eyes and beautiful smile of the lady in black. The real ER is not.

[PS free power tool porn at the end. Over two million subs love it.]

So you bought a titanium cock ring on Amazon last week and now you're in trouble. More correctly you are in the ER and not excited about it. Agreed from a lower vantage point things looks somewhat different. Read this Tweet as a warning:
