Race Play Interview – Part I
The delightful Andrea Plaid, aka @CruelSecretary Twittered me last week, asking about Race Play. There was a bit of a heated debate on this Justin Timberlake / Ciara video, see, and she thoughtfully wanted to find a POC into kink to get their POV. Of course, my immediate reaction was “Well, sure, I’ll talk about…

The Crush Zone.
Having crushes on people is something I do on the regular. With pretty much anyone I meet, I’ll go through a period where I have a crush on them, and if they are meant to be my friend, it becomes a signal that it is a well placed friendship! Sound weird? Pfft…what about me doesn’t…
Read MoreKinkfest Opening Ceremony: (or “Those 35 years as a performer paid off.)
Like a true masochist, I thought it would be cool to offer to perform at KinkFest this year. And like the sadists they must be, the good people at KinkFest booked me for the opening ceremony. Yep. I was barfulous with nerves. Add to my woes, even as I was rehearsing the song in my…

Portland, second year in a row for KinkFest. The folks here absolutely are among the most awesome hosts ever. I’m a cranky nervous poopiepants.

 Being submissive and desiring slavery, craving physical and emotional ownership would seem to place me at a disadvantage, relationship-wise I have to be the one looking to fit into the right “place,” right? I mean, there is the topdominantowner, fully formed and domly and all, needing me to be what THEY need in order…
Read MoreSay It Loud…
I had occasion today to enjoy a quiet moment in a hotel room high up above the city, idly gazing upon a broad swath of terrain from the cold blue of the Bay to the fog-lapped crests of Twin Peaks. Meandering thoughts mostly disconnected…some deceptively so…were doing their best to distract me from remaining in…
Read MoreHNT: Blood Makes Noise.
I’ve had a mixed relationship with my body when it comes to menstruation. I started when I was 12, and was a little pissed because I had swimming class that day, and my Mom was broke, and she only used pads. I was running late but had to get money off of my already…
