Shibari show at Aust Power Exchange Contest

Hi A/all,

As promised, I'm dedicating a post here to My most recent shibari rope bondage show at the Australian Power Exchange Title Contest on Oct 19th...

It was definitely My very best show to date!

I tied My co-performer Shuga with My ubiquitous red rope into what is called a Tippy Lyra. This is a device used by aerialists clearly shown in the shots - a hoop like device that hangs parallel to the floor. (It weighs about 10kgs!)

We then raised her in the air and she worked the lyra, spinning and twisting through the hoop using the rope to hang in the middle of the circle...

It was magic!

Shuga was even able to hang straight off the lyra, making her look like she was hanging in the air supported by nothing at all! (I'd used black ropes on the suspension line, so it didn't read as clearly as the red ropes, from a distance...)

The thing I really loved about this show was that, as Shuga informed Me later, all her moves were determined by the random and arbitrary arrangements of the rope and the hoop together. This meant that she could not decide where she was going to move to or land, meaning every movement she made and shape she created was totally spontaneous!

It was rope and aerials magic!

I'm proud to say we've already had inquiries about a repeat show next January...

Best, on land or air!

Shots of My Shibari show at Oz Kink Fest...

Hi A/all!

I've been SO super-busy in the last one and a half months I've simply not had time to blog!

It's been bumper to bumper with events, shows, sessions and travel! I'm very happy to say I'm now entering the home stretch to Xmas and NY with very little in the way of extra-curricular activities...

Since Septermber, I have done 1 workshop for Schwelle Sydney, 5 workshops and a Shibari show at Oz Kink Fest Melbourne, 2 workshops at The Gathering Sydney THEN My own event the Australian "Power Exchange" Title Contest with Me organizing the whole event PLUS doing My best Shibari show ever, then last weekend in Melbourne AGAIN for another Shibari show at the Halloween club Titty Twister.  (You know they say you should never create a paragraph out of one whole sentence - but I think we can let this slip just this one time? lol)

So, here's some of the things I've been up to; an intense shibari bondage show with the fabulous Miss Bliss, international fetish model and rope bondage bunny! She lives in Melbourne and is a treat to tie - sexy, positive and VERY BENDY!

We did a hot show where I tied her in an upside down suspension from her ankle and thigh (futomomo) then put a rubber breathing hood on her and sat on her face to cut off her breath, then suspended her with a pulley system and started to choke her out while she was upside down! Holey crap - intense much?

Thanks Bliss, you rock lady! Many thanks must also go to Andrew Bott for the fabulous shots of My show at Oz Kink Fest, too!

On another note, just in case some of you are wondering, I have also had My Facebook account suspended. I've had a couple of people ask Me "where I went"! If you do follow Me on Facebook, please know I've not deliberately blocked or barred YOU - it's Me whose been put in the sin bin. :(

This is because I've been using a name other than My real or birth name. I could therefore use the "fake" account to bully or harass others on the Facebook social media platform. There has been a pusch recently by Facebook to iron out fake profiles in order to decrease the amount of cyber bullying, which has inadvertently negatively affected many people who legitimately use a nom de plume instead of their real name.

This is of course, HAUTE BS. I have written to friends at the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San Francisco to bring the same legal ruing used against Facebook in support of drag queens using a nom de plume, to support My case.

Stay tuned, "Mistress Tokyo" on Facebook is unfortunately not out of the social media woods, yet!

Enjoy the pictures and I'll look forward to seeing you all again soon in cyber space - where ever you CAN find Me!

Best,

MT

Shibari Lessons, BDSM Couples Training

Want Me to show you how to do this?

Hi A/all,

Over the last couple of years people have, with increasing frequency, asked Me whether I provide "training" or private classes outside the workshops I facilitate.

Usually, these are people who have seen Me do My shibari rope in a workshop or a performance and want to learn how to tie.

Some also are curious about going deeper into SM, either as a couple or single person looking to up-skill.

I'm happy say that those who want to benefit from My skills in a one-on-one context can now do so!

I now offer two streams of training:

"Shibari Lessons" and

"Couples BDSM Training"

I've had a such a response to this notion I've created a new page on My site here devoted to just training! :)

Want to learn how to tie with Me?

Shibari Lessons:

I have trained under some of the best Nawashi and Shibari practitioners in the world. I have formed My own style, influenced by Satomi (Osaka) and Osada Steve (Tokyo). I combine these shibari influences with My training in Takemusu Aikido, bringing a circular celerity to My movement and a martial percussivity to My approach. 

I can assist you with the basics of starting to tie rope, through chest harnesses, to partial and full suspension. I can also advise you on aesthetics and sensibilities that may accent your rope and enrich it, as it has Mine. 

My time for this style of interaction is $100 per hour for 1 student with a model, whether a basics or an advanced class.

 Two is fun - but three is better!

Couples Training:

Do you both want to explore BDSM but don't know where to start?

I can tutor you in topics like:

• Rope and other forms of bondage
• Impact play including spanking, flogging, caning, etc.
• Needle play
• Anal play and fisting
• Electrical Play - TENS machine or Violet Wand
• Constructing a scene that flows
• Health and Safety, First Aid

All training sessions are conducted in My studio and My time for this style of interaction is $100 per hour. This is different from a session and is purely an educational experience.

Yes, I am most definitely happy to see couples in session, too - My pleasure! ;)

If you are interested in training with Me, do check My new "Training" page on this site!

Please then feel free to send an email to

themistress@mistresstokyo.com

Shibari shoot with Bliss, by Ms Tascha

Hi A/all!

So, amongst everything that I do with My life, there's just got to be some budge room for creativity!

I caught up with the fabulous Bliss, My rope model here - and the talented Ms Tascha, Lady of the Lens, and we put our creative "juices" together and came up with...

A super hot shibari rope bondage shoot!

We created so many great shots I've created a new gallery for some of them!

I'm also hoping that a new gallery may be the start of more shoots with Ms Tascha - and Bliss!

This was an exceptional shoot, so please do go check out My "Gallery" page and tell Me what you think!

No, don't bother - I already know what you think! :D LOL

In Melb Sept 25-29 for Sessions, "Oz Kink Fest"

Hi A/all!

It seems I'm back in Sydney *just* long enough to be traveling again - this time to Melbourne for Australia's biggest kink event, "Oz Kink Fest"! (Phew! Where does it end? LOL It doesn't!)

My session dates in Melbourne:

Thurs 25th & Fri 26th Sept only

As per usual, I'll conduct My sessions at Collingwood Confidential, close to the Melbourne CBD. Please note, I'm NOT AVAILABLE over the Oz Kink Fest weekend.

Unsurprisingly, My time is extremely limited in Melbourne. Thusly, only bookings with a confirmation by deposit are considered.

If you are interested in meeting in Melbourne on one of these two dates, please do be in contact on My mobile 0420 879 204 or email Me directly at themistress@mistresstokyo.com.

I'll look forward to hearing from the slaves I met on My last trip to Vic - and hope to meet some new ones, too!

And... I'm also in Melbourne for "Oz Kink Fest"! :D

Oz Kink Fest is in it's 7th year and I'm proud to be contributing to this amazing event again for the 4th time!

I'm conducting 5 workshops and doing a shibari show at Hellfire Resurrection Friday night!

"Oz Kink Fest brings fetish enthusiasts, experts and retailers together for 10 days of workshops, parties, performances and trade across a number of inner-city venues."

It's 10 days of constant action! There's a Fetish Expo market with it's own Expo After Party, Hellfire Resurrection Party, 2 days of workshops on a diversity of topics, then ANOTHER Stay and Play Party afterwards. Holey crap, it's a BIG ONE! :O

And, to My great delight, I've been asked to be one of the headline bondage shows at the Friday night Hellfire Resurrection party! I have an exciting shibari bondage scene forming right now - and I can't wait to develop it further..!

Click on this poster to go to the Oz Kink Fest site...

My 5 workshops over the weekend of the 27th/28th are; "CBT: Women on Men", "Sex Rope: Non-Japanese Basics", My now infamous "Heavy Sensory Deprivation Bondage", My new and improved - fresh from the USA -"Takedown Bondage" and the BRAND NEW-NEW "Catheters and Sounds on Cis-men".

It's going to be a massive weekend after two days of sessions! I've got a busy, busy life - and I'd not change that for all the お茶 in Japan...

I'll look forward to hearing from My Victorian slaves again for a taste of their hospitality on My short trip South!

Best,

MT
