11 May 13   Hard labour at Bridgewood
Last weekend I took advantage of the good weather to put mia to work at Bridgewood. I put her in a rough chain collar, gave her a long strip of sackcloth to wrap loosely around her hips, and let her wear leather clogs to save her from the worst of the nettles on the grassy rides. Her work was carrying water and then digging. [more...]
28 Apr 13   Brass anklets for slaves and wives
Solid brass anklets appear in several different places in the Odalisquian world, and still appear in modern day slavery in parts of Africa. I've pulled together some of these appearances, not least because anklets are so popular as symbols of ownership in O&P and M/s relationships. [more...]
26 Apr 13   Turkish Delight
No harem room is complete without a bowl of Turkish delight at hand and a slave to keep it refilled. I've loved the stuff since a girlfriend brought me some back from Istanbul years ago. Now I have this brass bowl from Turkey in my own Hareem and always have a box or two in a draw of the sideboard. [more...]
13 Apr 13   Club Lash 15th anniversary
Last night mia and I went to Club Lash's 15th anniversary event, and our second visit at the new venue, Alter Ego. I think I prefer the atmosphere there now and it feels more social than the Legends, especially in the dungeon. We did a short scene with duct tape and a column, and mia's outfit for the theme, "Zombies", looked great. [more...]
8 Apr 13   Francesc Masriera and Maria Fortuny
I've blogged about mia and I going to Barcelona last weekend, and as I mentioned, one of the paintings we saw in the National Museum of Catalan Art (MNAC) was Masriera's "In the presence of the master" from 1891. I originally thought it might depict an ancient Egyptian subject, but I now see it as orientalist by comparing it with some of Masriera's other work. Maria Fortuny's "Odalisque" is usually also in the same gallery in Barcelona so I'll mention it too. [more...]
8 Apr 13   Weekend in Barcelona
mia and I had a last minute break in Barcelona this weekend. It's no wonder it's such a popular destination city, with its beach, bars, art, and history, and I've included some pictures in this blog. [more...]
4 Apr 13   GMP to record alternative subculture hate crimes
Following the campaign by the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, GMP are now to record crimes targeted because of hostility or prejudice against alternative subcultures, in addition to the 5 legally protected characteristics (disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity). [more...]
24 Mar 13   Six more paintings
Today I uploaded six more Orientalist paintings, showing domestic scenes and odalisques and slaves interacting with men who are reading or writing. [more...]
18 Mar 13   Felling in the Meadow
I refer to an area of the South Ride as the Meadow, and it's always been a wide, open area with little undergrowth and shrubs between its tall trees. Yesterday I felled 20 of those tall trees as a first step into turning it into a proper clearing along the side of the ride. [more...]
9 Mar 13   Two weeks to the O&P Open, Manchester, 23 Mar 2013
Another O&P Open will be held in Manchester on Saturday 23rd March from 1-5pm. It'll be in the usual place in the downstairs room of Taurus Bar, 1 Canal Street, M1 3HE. [more...]
