I'm off to Melbourne this weekend!

Hi E/everyone!

I'm off to Melbourne this weekend for one of the best annual events on the Australian calendar! The Oz Kink Fest, organized by Mistress Mallice, has grown over the last 5 years to be a fun collection of parties, markets and workshops around the Melbourne Cup weekend!

Check it out here!

Oz Kink Fest 2010

I'm not going down for the major party "Hellfire Resurrection" this year as I’m concentrating My time on the activities the weekend before the keynote event. The things really attracting My attention are the two Kinoko Hajime workshops and the Klub Kunst party on the Monday night!

I’ll land in Melbourne just in time to see a little of the Expo on the Saturday but I’m really looking forward to sampling the unique rope style of Hajime. It's so great to have a rising talent so new to the international Shibari scene in Australia! My rope is very much inspired by traditional Japanese bondage forms but I respect the great value in stepping outside the box and experimenting - and not just with different positions. I’ve seen work of Hajime’s that uses video tape, UV-glow rope and trees (!!) so I’m really looking forward to spending time with an established rope artist who’s style is so different!

My dates for Melbourne are:

Leaving Sydney Sat 30^th returning late afternoon Tuesday 2^{nd Nov}. I will be available for sessions on Tuesday night.

Naturally, I’m available on My phone as per usual. If you don’t reach Me, send Me a text message and I’ll get back to you at My earliest convenience.

But, if you don’t get Me, know I’m probably having a ball in a rope workshop or at one of the great parties for the Kink Fest!

See you when I get back!

Uber Under 30's workshop a great success!

Hi A/all!

Yesterday for the first time Uber presented one of their famous BDSM Bonanzas to the Sydney Under 30's Bdsm kink social group! I've participated in a number of Uber's Bonanzas before, presenting on a diverse range of topics such as Sensory Deprivation and Electrical play - but this time I was asked to talk on the basics of Bondage and Discipline!

 I had 40 young people at My whim to learn and expand their knowledge on B&D. We covered as diverse a range of topics as I could cater to in the short period of time; to discuss Bondage I did demos on mummification, Shibari and My straight jacket proved to be lots of fun for all! (I put a few people in it after the workshop!) I discussed Discipline in two broad streams; in terms of both traditional Corporal Punishment - percussion play; and the more subtle mental strengths of holding your own space in a scene, whatever scene it may be, and the virtues of the discipline of protocols. You all missed a lot if you weren't there!

I have another workshop on next month! It's one I've been looking forward to presenting and Miss Dee at Uber and I have been discussing it for ages! A latex clothing making workshop! I'm going to take the lucky participants through what I've leant in the last 6 years I've learnt in My time making rubber! I'll be letting people in on the tricks of the trade and how to make themselves simple pieces that they can actually wear to events. This workshop will be invaluable to those who like to make some basic gear for themselves! I'm not afraid of sharing My knowledge as the more people into rubber in the world - the better, I say!

The workshop is on Wednesday 28th July, called the "Latex - crafty "how to" Workshop." It costs $90 and the start time is 7.00pm. It will run for approx 3 hrs. Once registered, participants will be given the address of the venue. I plan to show people the basics and then help them to make a piece of rubber clothing to take home! Wow - you get to learn how to make a garment you get to take home! Excellent value!

Find the link to registration here on the Uber website if you want to come along!

Be well A/all - and be shiny!

My workshop on Electrical Play this Sun 18th April for the Uber BDSM Bonanza

Hi again!

I'm running a workshop for Uber this weekend as part of their very popular BDSM Bonanza!

What a great idea! The first event of this style I presented at was such a smash - with at least 60 people in attendance! The format of this event is; 5 workshops of 15mins each, running concurrently 5 times over. You are able to move between each one in whichever order you wish to view them.

My last offering was on Sensory Deprivation - but this time I'll be talking about a much more powerful topic...! No, I won't be making any more jokes like that on the day - at least I hope not! But I will be there to introduce all to the virtues and vices of one of My favourite toys - My Eros Tek shock box!

Information regarding the workshop day can be found on the Uber site here:
