12 Oct 06 Websites roundup

I've been looking round the status of some of my websites this week, and thought I'd post a summary. [more...]

11 Sep 06 OwnershipFlag.com

Today www.OwnershipFlag.com went live, to publicise the ownership flag and the ownership icons that I posted about in July. The site includes image files in a wide range of sizes, that can be freely used for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

27 Aug 06 The Pride and the Prejudice

Yesterday, lili, popi and I went to watch the annual Pride Parade through the centre of Manchester. Every year it seems to get bigger and thousands of people turn out to see it. Afterwards we went to see "The Notorious Bettie Page". Both parade and film turned out to involve themes of the celebration of sexual minorities, and other people's attempts to suppress them. [more...]

24 Aug 06 "Bizarre Magazine" and that "Kaotian" master/slave cult again

There's been some discussion on IC about this month's issue of Bizarre Magazine, so yesterday I went and found a copy for the first time in more than a year. There always was some BDSM or Fetish content, but this month has features on BDSM and the law, flesh hook suspensions, and that Kaotian "slave master" in Darlington. As well as the features, there is a double-page spread with a report on the Club Noir burlesque night in Glasgow (a borderline fetish fashion event); Club Rub and LAM listed in the calendar of events; and "Bianca's Diary" on [more...]

30 Jul 06 Kinkfest III

Another great KinkFest: this year's highlights for me were the fashion show, Laurence's D/s & Psychology workshop, Rosie's compereing in general, the Slave Auction in particular, lili and popi

17 Jul 06 Ownership Icons

Today (Sunday) I put a page of ownership icons online on The Slave Register, and added them to the TSR system so people can show them on their web board posts (so far - other places in the system to follow.) I think they might be more generally useful too, since we don't really have symbols for this kind of thing amongst the various flags and signs that BDSM/Leather has acquired. [more...]

17 Jul 06 Club Lash, BBB and poly

The three of us went to Club Lash on Friday for the first time in a few months, and then the BBB fetish market today, including a workshop about polyamory. [more...]

4 Jul 06 popi collared

In her own words.

17 Jun 06 Grigbertz' drawings

Several people have uploaded pictures by Grigbertz over the last few months, but I've only now come across his website itself. Most of his drawings involve elfine captives in various types of steel restraint or subservience, and the one I've uploaded here is beautifully bound between two iron hoops by Clejuso handcuffs and leg irons. [more...]

23 May 06 "Gorean" web searches this weekend

On Thursday 18th and Friday 19th May most of the national newspapers in the UK picked up a local story about a man claiming to be running a "Kaotian" variant of Gor, who had some unwelcome attention from the police (but nothing for them to bring charges about.) All of the stories prominently mentioned "Goreans" and told readers they are a widespread "sex slave" subculture in the UK (with 25,000 members according to some versions.) As a result, I've seen a dramatic increase in the number of visits to my websites from people searching with Google etc for "Goreans". [more...]
