I just discovered this BDSM 101 article in Time Out for which I was interviewed.
Hilton of Purple Passion is also a media star in Time Out NY’s Sexy Holiday Gift Guide.
The Times of India has a surprisingly pretty good Bondage article.
“Mr. Marcus Tribute: Philadelphia Leather Family” video by Alex L & Teddy O. And another one from Wytchwolf.

In September, I made another California trip. I taught at Folsom Fringe in San Jose. A good event in a lovely boutique hotel with the dungeon parties held at the fantastic Edges dungeon. I taught classes and had a great scene with Mollena.
Stay tuned for more from that trip.

I was honored to spank Susan Wright at Kinky Kollege. She is one of the most spankable people on the planet! Thank you to Kelly for allowing us to do this.
In addition to being the founder and spokesperson for NCSF, Susan is a published author. Her new erotic urban fantasy, Confessions of a Demon

I had a hot play date on Friday night. When we spoke beforehand to make plans, I had asked her what she liked to do. “Spanking, caning, paddles, floggers.” She then added, “I have my own toys.”
I love that! Yes, I love those activities, but I really love a playmate who brings her own toys. Even though I own so many toys myself, I appreciate someone providing their own.
First of all, why does the top have to always buy all the toys? Especially when you are starting out, or when you are a poor student, these costs should be shared.
And why does the top always have to schlep all the toys? I take the subway when I go places and that stuff gets heavy and bulky to carry around, especially if I am going somewhere else beforehand. And if I’m flying somewhere to teach, clothing and teaching supplies take up the vast majority of my checked in luggage. I need to stay under the airline’s weight limit!
And why does the top always have to maintain the toys? Kits have to be restocked, ropes need to be washed and toys need to be cleaned. This is extra work. Not only is it nice that the bottom can do this, but the bottom can be sure that it is done in a manner that they think is safest for toys used on them.
Another reason that a bottom may want to have his or her own toys is that they can bring something that they really like or that fits them well, like a straitjacket or a blindfold.
So, on Friday night, I used her toys. But I did not come empty handed. I brought my single tail, a toy she likes but does not own. And now we both have toys to clean.

1. It was a very good idea to attend. A lot of it was over my head, but I learned a ton of stuff anyway.
2. When shooting video, adjust your white balance manually.
3. When looking for plug-ins, look at release date, not just usage and ranking. Some plug-ins aren’t up-to-date with the later WordPress updates.
4. Both WordPress.com stats and Google Analytics are good, but they give different info. Look at both.
5. Put your media mentions on your About page.
6. Adobe Browser Lab lets you see how your site looks in different browsers.
7. See who is linking back to you with Link Diagnosis.
8. A new theme can make your website look fresh. Find a free one at WordPress Free Theme Directory.
9. Check out Google’s Search Engine Optimization 101 Guide.
10. I am very fortunate to have a brilliant BlogMommy who helps me with my blog. Thanks, Viviane!

At Your Service – His hand pushes on my thigh and I turn away from him, allowing him to inspect my ass. His hands spread my ass cheeks and again I flood with wetness.
Cinderella – “‘I want to fuck you…’ he growled, nipping at her neck and kissing down over her breasts, biting at her nipples through the fabric, making her cry out.
