I'm on Easter break from Thurs 21st to Mon 25th inclusive!

Hi E/everyone!

I'm off for My Easter holiday for the long weekend!

I'll be away from Thursday 21st until Monday 25th inclusive. If you need to book an audience with Me next week, be aware that I'm not attending My phone or inbox during this time!

As some people know, I like to take time out to get away from it all at least a couple of times a year! I'm literally out of mobile range in rural NSW and do not have internet coverage where I am! Therefore, any text messages and emails will be answered soonest on My return from interstate Tuesday morning!

I wish all My slaves, subs and fetishists a restful long weekend and a happy Easter break!

Best regards until then,

MT

April trip to Japan officially cancelled! :(

Hi E/everyone!

Unfortunately, the inevitable has occurred and My previously-blogged Aikido trip to Japan has been canned!

I am very sorry to see this happen but I'm much more sorry to see the persistent situation in Japan. It'd be unconscionable to travel there right now as a tourist - it'd not be respectful or appropriate towards the Japanese people!

Therefore I am officially available during April business as usual! I will be going away for Easter as I always do over the long weekend, but I'll be sure to blog about this more extensively in a couple of weeks...

Until then, I am officially in Sydney and available for sessions!

Best,

MT

April travel plans for Japan unsure... Stay tuned!

Hi A/all!

I love traveling and I have another big trip organized overseas yet again - but this time I'm not sure about whether all will go to plan…

On the 5th of April, I have flights booked and hotels waiting for Me in Japan. Understandably, I'm rather uncertain as to whether I'll be going…

Coverage of Japan in Crisis

(To see up to date coverage of the Japan issue as it develops, I find SBS an excellent source. I just viewed new videos of the tsunami on their site. Click on the picture above to go thru to their website.)

When the 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit an area off the cost of Sendai on March 11th, I was beside Myself with concern for the people in the affected areas. Watching the footage of the resulting Tsunami blow through and decimate whole towns only confirmed the gravity of the destruction. My heart has been stricken since and each news report I read had brought Me close to tears.

It's not just in name that I am allied with Japan. The place is like a second heartland to Me. I majored in Japanese language and have been speaking it for over 20 years. I've practised Japanese martial arts, recited Haikus, worn Kimono, learned how to play Koto and traveled to many areas of the country - forgetting My love of Shibari and Hojojutsu. I have many friends there and not just in the kink community. The aspects that resound strongest with Me are Japan's belief structures - Shinto and Buddhism have had a very strong influence on My own spirituality.

Aikido way of Harmony

About 5 months ago My dojo decided we'd plan the trip of a lifetime to train in our chosen art - Aikido, the way of harmony. We were going to follow in the footsteps of the great O-sensei, Morihei Ueshiba, who is credited with designing this modern art originally inspired by Jyujitsu. The recent developments in Japan have cast doubts on taking our trip next month with many concerned that playing tourist right now is not respectful or appropriate, regardless of how much we were looking forward to going…

I welcome all who serve Me, whether near or far, to do as I am going to do and donate money to the relief efforts in Japan. I'd personally like to help out on the ground but I have few skills to offer other than a Senior First Aid certificate and lots of chutzpah! So I'm going to do what I can and donate cash!

Link to agencies to donate to Japan relief effort

Above is a SBS link to a variety of agencies that have roles in the relief effort. I've been wonderfully busy recently and have donated some of My hard earned spoils. I encourage My slaves to do the same.

The crux of My posting today is that I have plans to fly to Japan for three weeks in April. My current itiniery is to be in Japan from Tuesday 5th to Monday 25th inclusive. A decision will be made in the next week as to whether our group will go or not. I suggest that those who wish an audience with Me in April watch this blog to keep up to date with My movements as they develop. I will know for certain what is happening by the end of next week, 25th March.

Stay tuned and please hold the plight of the Japanese people in your thoughts.

Peace,

MT

Hi E/everyone!

Believe it or not, it’s that time of year again… Xmas and the holiday season! Subsequently, I’m looking forward to taking some time off over December and January into the New Year…

I’ll be unavailable from the 24^th of December onwards for sessions. I’ll NOT be answering My phone or email as I’ll be out of mobile range from this date onwards for the best part of three weeks. My Twitter account will be quiet and My blog here will also be taking a breather!

Between the 5^th and the 7^th of Jan, I will be back in Sydney town briefly. During this time I am taking on selected clients only before I fly interstate to be incommunicado again until the 14^th. This means there are limited session availabilities during these three days.

I’ll be back in town and available for sessions as per usual from the 14^th of January 2011.

My dates in plainest form:

Unavailable for sessions from the 24^th Dec inclusive; no email or phone contact

Available for sessions strictly on pre-bookings from 5^th to 7^th Jan 2011

Back in Sydney and available for sessions from the 14^th Jan 2011. (Email, phone, blog and Twitter contact resume!)

May I take this opportunity to wish all My slaves, both near and far the very best of the season and a safe and restful New Year! Catch Me before Xmas to celebrate the end of another year – or I’ll catch you sooner in 2011.

Best – and Merry Xmas!

I'm back in town from NYC!

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.

The "Museum of Sex" is also here on Facebook!: http://www.facebook.com/mosex

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

Oral Fix Cafe at the Museum of Sex NYC

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!
