10 Sep 07   Machine shed of horrors

A link doing the rounds at the moment, the Machine shed of horrors: "It's all interesting, but some of it is 'interesting' in the same way an H.R. Giger painting is interesting: cool, mechanical, but indescribably creepy. Hooterville steampunk meets the Tower of London. Rather than try to describe it, here are some pictures I took during a recent visit."
12 Aug 07   Plunder!

I thought I'd post some pictures of some recent acquisitions: some cuff locks, a great flogger by Steve Vakesh, and a headcage which I've subsequently modified. [more...]
4 Aug 07   Master/slave Conference, 2007

I'm still buzzing from the Master/slave conference and I've got a bunch of things to say about it, but I'm going to try to give an overview in this blog and them come back to individual topics later. [more...]

16 Jul 07   "The Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson

Neo-Victorianism is one attractive basis for Household D/s: the Victorian / Edwardian period was the last time middle-class families expected to have servants and live in hierarchical, extended households. Neal Stephenson's novel "The Diamond Age" doesn't deal with D/s or service, but it does present a Neo-Victorian world which I'd like to explore in this review. [more...]

It's now less than a month to the Master/slave Conference in Washington, and we're going to be quite involved: not only are lili, popi and I going, but TSR is a gold sponsor, there is a TSR meeting for members and subscribers, and I've been invited on to one of the panels. [more...]
11 Jun 07   TSR Meeting in London

We got back from London yesterday and I want to say thank you to everyone who came to the first TSR Meeting, and write a bit about the event for those who couldn't be there. [more...]
8 Jun 07   Posting from London

I'm writing this from the hotel room in London before tomorrow's TSR Meeting. The drive down from Manchester was only about 3hrs 20mins and we're all set for a day round the shops followed by the meeting from 5pm. I've also got some of the new TSR flyers with me and I'm hoping to place a few of them in Bondage/SM orientated shops - not so much in the fetish fashion shops the girls are hoping for
