Hi A/all - I'm back in town from NYC and LA!
I got back last week from the USA after 9 days break visiting the East Coast for the first time!
I had the first day in LA recovering from jet lag - only to get on a red eye plane to NY the next night! I stayed in Brooklyn with fetish friends and saw a lot of Manhattan on foot the first day. The second day I went to NYC Rubber Studio, hosted by the wonderful Mistress Araiana Chevalier - check out the best studio in NYC here!
New York City Rubber Studio
I had wanted to visit Her space for a long time as I'd been told how much great rubber She has collected over the years and what an accomplished Mistress She is. I was not disappointed but I also found out She's a wonderful person too! She even gave Me a gift of a handcrafted wooden frat paddle from Her personal slave! I'd definitely recommend a visit to Her space when in Manhattan!
I shopped at The Leatherman and Purple Passion, as well as buying some souvenirs for friends at home! Being a foodie, I also visited the Chelsea Markets for cheese and great (albeit expensive) coffee. I did indulge in some non-kinky tourist sights too - the Statton Island Ferry, Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building were fantastic! One of the things I enjoyed the most was the great graffitti mixed in with the beautiful 1930's deco architecture of many of the older Manhattan buildings.
One of the most outstanding cultural highlights was certainly the "Museum of Sex", a privately-funded curatorial space on 5th Ave showing exhibitions focussing on the history of sexuality. I saw exhibitions on the history of the condom, sex in film, the sex lives of animals and even a small exhibition on BDSM from the permanent collection.

One of the things I saw from the permanent collection was this amazing vintage anti-onanism (masturbation) device! What a thing of beauty, seen only before in My dreams!

The space even has a cafe on the lowest level with a menu focussing on using ingredients that have aphrodisiac properties! I can personally recommend the "Persephone" mocktail! :D

Yes, yes, I did bring back a whole heap of toys with Me, too! I bought new electrical gear from the Leatherman - a different style of ass plug and a catheter - as well as more CP gear! I bought another single tail to match My favourite one, a new **very hard** flogger, amongst others. Most especially, I bought a beautiful stainless steel knife. I've wanted a new knife for a long time and not found anything inspiring locally. Even better, I was able to buy a great one in stainless steel, so I can autoclave it after every use…
While I was there I also visited My fantastic friend Sue Nice from www.nicecorsets.com! She is now making Me my 4th tight lacing corset, in black satin, to match My vintage corsetry and lingerie. I was also able to pick up a superlative vintage leather corset for My XD and TV slaves! I am constantly crestfallen by the dearth of good leather and corsetry in Sydney, nay Australia! So the search for corsets that suit My taste has been a long and arduous one. I'm happy to say - that I am now happy! I was able to acquire a beautiful black leather corset from a friend in LA. I maintain that I will not see My slaves in fetish clothing anything less than the best I can provide!
It's been great to travel but I'm happy to be back to My routine in Sydney to see the rest of the year out! Speaking of such, I'll look forward to seeing you all again before I leave for Xmas Holidays!
