Presenting at Sydney Xplore Festival over Easter

Hi E/everyone!

After I jet back into the country from San Francisco I'll be looking forward to the next thing on My dancecard - presenting two workshops at the Sydney Xplore Festival this Easter!

Click thru here to go to the Xplore site...

If you haven't heard about this benchmark festival, here's a couple of words from the it's convenor, Dr Peter Banki;

"Xplore is a three-day event on creative sexuality, BDSM, tantra, ritual and other body practices. Delve into new found pleasures by joining us.

Xplore offers more than 40 workshops and performances, bringing together a highly developed interest in the body and different aspects and variations of sexuality.

Xplore is hosted by international and local presenters, most of whom are professional artists, dancers, choreographers and/or scholars. There will be workshops with Hajime Kinoko, (one of the world's most dazzling Shibari artists), Tristan Taormino (best-selling author, sex educator and feminist pornographer) and Annetta Luce (dancer, choreographer extraordinaire). The festival culminates in all night Berlin-style party called "The Aristocracy of Desire".

Xplore presents workshops which will give you the chance to have new experiences, rather than only discussions or demonstrations. These experiences are as varied as sexuality itself. Some are therapeutic in nature, some emerge from aesthetic intentions, others are spiritual quests or searches for the borderline. Their common ground is playfulness, communication, creativity and expansion beyond traditional relationships. They represent a different sexual culture.

Above all, Xplore wishes to bring together those who think and love unconventionally. To share and to learn."

I missed the inagural festival last year due to prior commitments but this time, going on the success of last year, I was happy to offer My skills to the community!

I'm presenting workshops on "CBT: women on men", and "Latex: The initiation"! I'm really looking forward to the rubber workshop as I have not presented it before and am VERY eager (as you may imagine) to impart some of My love of latex to the workshop attendants!

I'm personally really looking forward to reacquainting with a certain person from Japan too - the really cool and immensely talented Kinoko Hajime! I've had the pleasure of attending a couple of his workshops in Melbourne and look forward to downing tools and rocking up to his workshops as a student! I'm sure I'll see him do some amazing things! Above is a taste of his truly unique rope style...

After I return from Japan - see My next blog posting, I'll be covering the festival for Tony Mitchell's "thefetishistas.com" too! I'll look forward to informing the rest of the kink world on yet another amazing happening down here in Sydney town. Stay tuned, I'll let you know when we publish the article.

I hope some of those who I'm familiar with in a professional session context can make it to what should be an amazing experience!

Best,

MT

Shots of My unique gear from a recent session!

Hi E/everyone!

I've had a number of people make inquiries about My fabulous chrome and stainless steel Medical Neck Brace from Carrara in the Netherlands after showing it off for the very first time in My recent shoot with Luke from Soul Focus Studio!

If you missed the release of the shots - go to My blog entry on the 27th of October (two entries back) and you'll see Luke's amazing work, although I do happen to know there are more shots to come! ;)

Here are some shots of a lucky slave who recently sessioned with Me, trussed up in the brace! This piece is not only beautiful but also a devastatingly successful bondage device! As I've worn it Myself, I know the amazing feeling it provides - having your occipital lobe pushed forward and your mandible jammed up into your upper jaw! It ensures your head and neck do not move and can be tightened using the front and back turnbuckles to the point that you cannot even flex your jaw! Yummmmmm!

My lucky slave in the amazing brace!

The original device by Carrara

Carrara also make amazing chastity gear for both men and women. I bought this piece in Chicago at International Mr Leather 2010 and I don't think you can buy these in Australia. Mr S in San Francisco does carry them, but they are strictly to order only.

If you want to have a look at more of the work by Carrara, have a look at their site below via the link...

Indulging My slave with this amazing piece of gear was not the only scene we played in our 12hr long marathon overnight play session! Amongst our many scenes - including a walk down to Blackwattle Bay at midnight with both of us in full rubber and gas masks to tie My slave up on the waterfront in inflatable latex then teased with a vibrator!! - we did some suspension bondage!

Enjoy these shots of a Japanese bondage Shibari "gote" harness and full suspension! We both had a great time and I loved tying My slave then torturing him with electricity and breathplay while he was "flying"!

Come fly with Me...!

Enjoy the shots of another great session - and My fabulous new shiny gear!

Back at sessions after a break due to injury, new pics!

Hi A/all!

Long time no post! I've been flying low over the last two weeks due to needing to recoup from a bad injury sustained during a bondage show on the long weekend - I've been resting Myself so I can heal properly...

I'm very conscious that if I'm not feeling in top form this negatively affects My sessions and the quality of energy I can share with My slaves. I'm very much an "all-or-nothing" sort of person - and Domme! I sure as heck wasn't put on this earth to be lack-lustre, thusly I've been keeping My head down both online and in person…

...but now I'm happy to say that I'm back at sessions and back at what I do best!

A close up of My rubber slave in suspension heaven...

Here's a shot of a recent session with one of My favourite slaves! he loves his latex almost as much as I do and can take VERY NEARLY all that I deal him - which is quite a feat indeed! We LOVE that! :) you know who you are!

In these shots I've tied him in what we call a "Superman" rope suspension; a face-down version of a standard Japanese bondage Shibari "Gote" tie paired with two "Gunslingers" off each thigh. This was only his second experience of full suspension; the first time being with Myself where I tied him in a "dead man" position, face up in one of My latex bodybags. We had been seeing each other for a while and he wasn't so experienced with suspension bondage - so I decided it was high time to give him the gift of knowledge!

A very happy latex slave!

During that first tie, I put him up then forced him to take a full catheterization! I could tell from his breathing through his hood and gag that it was very challenging for him, but I was able to "inspire" him to do it regardless! Both these heavy bondage & latex scenes took place in overnight non-stop 12-14 hour sessions.

I'm also happy to report that Ms Nikita Weiss landed safely in the UK after My last blog post offering Our double sessions! We had a great deal of fun together during Our last scenes in Sydney! She and I make quite the dynamic pair and play together as two Women very comfortable in their Dominance! I for one will sorely miss Her comapany, both in and out of the studio! My very best to our Lady in London!

Enjoy the eye candy and see you all back again at My boots sooner… ;)

My 1st public Shibari performance - goes off! ;)

Rigging by Mistress Tokyo for Matt Bylett show, Lunamorph 2010

Hi A/all!

Weeks ago the fantastic Matt Bylett from Matt Bylett Designs asked Me to be in his show for the Sydney Fringe Festival's "Lunamorph" at the Enmore Theatre. "Lunamorph" is an annual alternative fetish and gothic fashion show for local Sydney designers - of whom Matt is one.

Check his own latex fetish fashion website here...

Matt Bylett Designs

He asked Me to model his unique latex creations but... to also SUSPEND IN BONDAGE OFF THE STAGE RIGGING A PERSON WEARING ONE OF HIS DESIGNS - an amazing inflatable mermaid costume! Wow!

After thinking about it, I declined the offer to model so I could focus on hanging this amazing mermaid person in the sky! I love suspension bondage - but I know very well the issues of safety and comfort for the submissive - it's paramount!

So, working with the really co-operative riggers at the Enmore Theatre, I was able to suspend My friend Burlesque fetish performer Audrey off the rig really high up - 4m in the air! She was tied in a standing position with arms free but under the mermaid tail were a sequence of ropes at knees and thighs to keep her up and stable...

Rigging by Mistress Tokyo for Matt Bylett show, Lunamorph 2010

I used black 6mm and 7mm hemp for the lines and scarlet 6mm hemp for the body harness. I didn't follow anyone else's pattern; I just made it up after a couple of run throughs, made sure Audrey was comfortable and then just made the whole tie as stable as possible. The most stressful thing was having to tie her legs and the suspension lines behind the stage screen while other performances were going on - in the dark!!! Oh, that and the fact she was so damn high that if anything went wrong it could REALLY go wrong!

Rigging by Mistress Tokyo for Matt Bylett show, Lunamorph 2010I think it looked fantastic! I was really proud as, apart from doing a show with Matt Bylett who is an amazing artist, I did My very first public Shibari performance! I do this sort of tying nearly every day in My sessions but it's different to have to produce an aesthetic and safe tie on demand under really trying circumstances.

There are also painfully few FEMALE Shibari riggers performing around the world. In fact, I can only think of one woman doing this style of show on a regular basis and that is the fantastic Satomi Tokyo Love Doll, from whom I've learnt A LOT of My rope skills. さとみさん、どうもありがとうございました！:)

Suspended... 4m in the air? WOW!

Be shiny and, if you can't be shiny - be ropey!

My next trip to the USA... & to Shibaricon!!

Hi E/everyone!

Yes, I'm off traveling once more - to the US again! I'll start My journey in California but then I'll fly through to Chicago for the very first time!

My dates are as follows:

Off to the USA on Sunday May 23rd

...then to Chicago on Thursday 27th for 5 days

...then in Cali again until My return to Sydney on Monday June 7th!

I'm going to be in Chicago for this year's Shibaricon! Those who don't know about this world famous event should know it's the jewel in the crown of international Rope happenings.

Shibaricon is the premier conference for Japanese Bondage and a mecca for rope lovers the world over - a full weekend of rope workshops, munches and play nights! I'm looking forward to meeting people I've read about for years and going toe to toe with them with rope in My hand! (I've been wanting to get there for the last 3 years - ideally with some other Sydney rope kinksters in contingent. This year it's 4th time lucky!) 

Read more about Shibaricon here!

I'll be contactable via email on themistress@mistresstokyo.com for this period - wifi permitting! I'll not be available on My Australian phone so regularly so email Me instead if you wish to organize a session!

Best - in boots!
