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.

Why Are Pro-dommes So Very Expensive?

Why not?

Nobody ever refused a raise

A certain Dutch DJ who shall remain 'secret' was promised an intimate capsule hotel, not this. Thanks Mr. Cheapskate tour manager.

So, turning off the music for close to 30 seconds in front of a huge crowd is not for everyone. Apart from talent and technical skill, there's a third element involved, people skills. Not exactly like reading the room when you have 2.000 anonymous ravers in front of you but I [think I] knew what I was doing. Nor is it a trick you can repeat at random. The result, however, is that people are high on endorphins right from the start. So in the end, I didn't get paid for one or two rare skills but how I balance my skill set. All of that would never have worked without a huge dosis of luck. To this day I'm deeply grateful to all those people who have mentored, supported and taught me or gave me a break. I've lived the good DJ life and beyond thanks to all of them. I am who I am but it's been a huge influence ever since. Probably would have happened anyway but now I'm the tutor. Not as a DJ but in many other areas in life. As it should.

That Time My Library Books Were 11 Day Overdue

#NeverNormal AKA You never guess what happened

Librarians in popular culture part 4

A personal note on librarians. It's not just the fake librarians you have to be careful of. Real librarians are very good at changing the rules without telling you. And there is no point in complaining. Complaints are useless. "Haven't you read the note on the door?" "I assume you can read, why else would you be here." Well, there's an explanation for everything. Just read what happened to me the other day. And yes, the book was exactly 11 days overdue. Just my luck.

Today on Twitter: Cute, Sweet & Silly

X - or where have all the humans gone?

More of the same [continued from last time]

With Blogger now forcing readers to log in 'to verify their age' the number of visitors to my blog has dwindled dramatically. In itself not a problem, I enjoy writing. It's just that when hardly anyone reads your stuff, why continue? So, a while back, I decided to tweet-announce new posts. Nothing fancy, just title, link and image and I'm gone. Timed it. Takes 11 seconds. Why am I not surprised?

Slaves Ashamed Of Their Fellow Slaves

Why does pants down have to equal bye bye grace and dignity?

Dutch is forced to cross of interviewing dommes of his bucket list.

Remember what I wrote about eyes being the mirror to the soul. He's in good hands.

Basically I write a lot and this blog is definitely not among my best work. Reasons include English not being my native language, the topic of femdom and the unwritten rules of our community, according to some. Yes I write about kinky, sexy stuff but there's no need to be sleazy, whenever you can avoid it. No reason to be shy either. As for 'our' community, what I am often missing is adult conversation communication between two people. Blame the slave, blame the domme. It's either her unable to get of her high horse or him sucking up. And it's bad for femdom.

Enigmatic Goddess in Green

Hypnotic

Obviously the first thing you see is boobies. At least I do. Then again I'm very good at that. I try not to brag about it but it's true. But then you start to wonder about the abundance of the colour green in today's image: green blouse, green grass. But wait there's more. Not exactly sure what but there certainly is a little extra. What is this woman thinking of. No clue. And why is there this dark glare in her eyes. Then she slowly raises her whip - rather unexpectedly - and things get even more fascinating. It's an instrument that's clearly very dear to her. The intention on her face intensifies adding more to the mystery. As if she ponders what to do with it. Don't think she's that green.

Again: Why Are Pro-dommes So Expensive?

You'd do the same

Dutch has a gig across the border. Air BnB with extra's. But not the usual complementary fruit bowl. Lovely stay even though it drained me.

Continued from 'Why Are Pro-DJ's So Expensive?'

So DJ's make a lot of money, some at least. Someone told me these days a three hour gig goes for around 350 euros. That's before expenses, taxes and agency fees if the dj is booked through one. Many also work for free. A mistake, they hope it will get them the name recognition they so crave. Perhaps, but you cannot beat free on price and at the lowest rung you're easily replaced. No more posting cool hot dj pics to your Insta. Quelle horreur. Scary future ahead indeed. It's also why most clubs go under.

Why Are Pro-DJ's So Expensive?

Disgrace

Groupies... Sleep is essential for creative people like Dutch.

The discussion keeps coming up again and again. Why are professional DJ's so expensive? Because they can, some at least. Others don't want to work that often and quote astronomical fees. Especially for Back to the Eighties parties. Yikes! And you know what, it works. Inbox empty. Maybe you think it's absurd DJ's get paid a lot of money but it's their job is to entertain hundreds of people at once.

Librarian or School Teacher?

Errhm...

Librarians in popular culture part 3

Last time we learned how to spot a fake librarian. Leather is the answer. Today we have another puzzle. Is this lady a librarian, school teacher or something else. Like a failed gardener for instance. Just look at that dead plant to the left. All the leaves have gone. A little bit of water every now and then would have helped.

Don't think she is a librarian, the books in the background are nothing but wallpaper. She's probably no teacher either. Apart from the fact there is just one desk, which is so elitist, what teacher has to write herself a reminder on the door not to come late again.

So neither a librarian or a teacher. Nor is she a gardener. What is she then? My guess is that she works as a physical therapist, helping old people learn how to walk again with the help of a cane. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Librarians and the power of reading

It's the inside that counts [yes, that goes for books too. D'oh]

Barbie Is The Best Femdom Movie Ever

Total depravity in pink

Corrupt and conquer those Vanilla's

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.

Corrupted By Her Books

And a cane

The story you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent. [And the lady you see in today's image is so not of my former secondary school teacher, Mrs. Hayek.]

Yes, that's teach, mistress Hayek

Most lads had to take the entrance exame multiple times, not me. Guess the teachers immediately understood what made me stand out. Looking back I am terribly proud of what my secondary school did for me. It was a long, harsh journey - but one that made me the man I am today. Back then I felt different. If you're a rebellious teenager, everything is stupid. Especially the alphabet and boobs. Don't worry by the time I was 14 I'd grown over my dislike of books. Funny how that happened. Once my interest in books spiked, my grades began to suffer. My secondary school prided itself on preparing us for elite universities. No-one was left behind. Something which is hard for a 15-year old boy who has developed a sudden crush on books and refuses to study. Desperate times, desperate measures, which is why they brought in a special needs teacher. It only made things worse. In fact, it corrupted me for life. Mrs Hayek's teaching methods are also the reason you're reading this blog now.
