Life Drawing at Art Gallery NSW "Art After Hours" for Mardi Gras

Hi A/all!

I've been so busy over Mardi Gras and My tour of Melbourne I've not even had spare time to blog!

I do beg your pardon. 5 shows in 1.5 weeks over 2 states while balancing sessions, flights, 4 successful public workshops, building a studio AND circadian rhythms? Hell yes, I'm your perp!! 

LET'S WRAP IT UP, like pallet wrap:

A truly wonderful thing I was asked to do for the Sydney Mardi Gras festival was to host Life Drawing for the Queer Edition for the regularly fabulous Wednesday night "Art After Hours" night at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Just stand there and look shiny? Not on My watch - not with the fabulous Paloma Negra from Paloma Negra Theatre in tow either, we STOOD and SHONE up a storm!

Some of the shots below are from the wonderful attendees, including some drawings!

We had 40 easels and drawing boards around us. I said to Paloma that "If we could cause enough ruckus to fill 60% of those for MOST of the 2 hour slot, I'd be content."

Talk about content. Turns out, WE MADE GREAT CONTENT! lol

At one point, people were sooooooooo stuffed into the room, people couldn't get in - or out. Such was the jam, such was the unanimous response.

Thanks Sydney, and a HUGE thank you to the Art Galley of NSW for having Me back AGAIN in conjunction with the incredibly popular Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition.

As shot on the day, below! Enjoy!

Best, as art...

Paloma and I in our final drawing tableau - she in My inflatable BALL gown, Me drawing rope out of the zipper in her inflatable loveliness!

Us in our first tableau with Me doing the rope bondage, natch...

...to our third tableau - which we called Clean Qween!

As I stood there to be drawn, I called out, "Spot the Feminist".

Thankfully, people appreciated My black humour! 

Our second tableau was sure to be a crowd pleaser.

My beautiful uchikake (Japanese wedding kimono) with some asymmetrical tying and some take (bamboo) looked bloody amazing even if I say so Myself.

Happy Xmas & NY Holidays!

Hi A/all!

Oh My gosh! I'm writing YET ANOTHER end-of-year blog post after an EVEN BIGGER YEAR than last year. 

Wow. "Is it possible?", you ask? "YES", I confirm! (...and I'd have it no other way!)

I remember looking back over last year and thinking how bumper it was, but THIS YEAR I'm proud to say I've grown more, yet again.

Firstly, My holiday dates...

My Xmas/NY availability:

Sessioning to Dec 23

Dec 24 to Jan 7 - unavailable for appts

Available again from Jan 8

Please know I always observe strict radio silence for this period. This means that I don't check My phone, inbox or social media during this time.

A solid block of time off enables Me to come back refreshed and rejuvenated to torture the hell out of you all as creatively as possible once more in 2018. ;)

On My return on Jan 8, I'll reply to all messages ASAP. 

On to My 2017, in review...

Top of the Task list that I knocked off in 2017:

Me on ABC TV's "Growing Up Gracefully" - touche!

# I was on commercial TV, on "You Can't Ask That.." and "Growing Up Gracefully" on the ABC.

# I was also on commercial Radio on Triple J, on "The Hook Up" - 3 times!

The 2nd Fetish Ed of Australian Penthouse

# I was in Australian Penthouse AGAIN on their second Fetish Issue, then in another regular ed with an in depth interview.

# I took on a trainee, Mistress Reina - and I think she's going to be a winner!

May I present, Trainee Mistress Reina

# I finally made it to Melbourne Sexpo after having to bow out on My first invite when I nearly lost the sight in My right eye 2 years ago! (Yes, it's been 2 years)

# I was asked to speak at an Art After Hours panel at the NSW Art Gallery for the Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition, what a pleasant surprise!

# I did My further-est outcall ever. To Glasgow. Thankyou.

# I went to Ireland, Scotland and Berlin for sessions; three places I'd not gone before.

# I won an Australian Adult Industry Award for "Best for Fantasy and Fetish".

# I celebrated TEN YEARS as an Independant Pro Domme! Yes!!!

...and what a TEN years it's been!

I didn't think I could go as far as I have - but I've already proved to Myself that all I really need to do anything is a leap of faith. I definitely didn't think that I could take this whole ride this far though, 18 years ago...

Every day I look in the mirror and I see My competition - it's a fight with tough odds! That's why I need to get up and hit it EVERY SINGLE day. (Those odds are a blessing!)

Ok. I'm out. See you all next year! (...and yes, I've got something totally new up My sleeve!)

Best, EVER!
