New York....A Real Learning Experience!
I love New York! No doubt about it. And I STILL love New York, in spite of a very wearying and uneven few days spent there last week. So how did this trip come to be? Well, more than anything, it came from years and years of submissives and fans URGING Me to PLEASE get up there! It seems ...or seemed at the time....to be a real repository for very enthusiastic slaves, especially those into trampling. Anyone who wasn't born yesterday knows this is My special weakness!
Well I can't say I was shocked when one by one, those beggars and pleaders dropped by the wayside with the usual 'bs' list of ridiculous and implausible excuses for why, after so much begging and pleading, they would be magically 'unavailable' to serve or play during those dates. Any shred of optimism or belief in the average sub's sincerity went by the wayside long ago! These people were put on this earth simply to wank away and waste people's valuable time.
But....travel plans already in place....I couldn't very well face a three day stint of sitting in My digs there imagining the sessions that could have been. So I rolled the dice and placed an ad on eros.com as a visiting Domme under the BDSM category. Eros caters more to the Escort trade, but they do have this special category that I certainly fit into more comfortably. I chose New Jersey where I would not be hidden among a huge list of options (much fewer listings than New York) and I found a wonderfully comfortable place in Secaucus, right across from Manhattan. Lots of room to operate, free parking for My clients, and a mere 15 minute bus ride from My back door into the Times Square area. In a word....perfect....or so I thought!
Well it appears that those who beg and plead for Me to come up there from Smallville are a more particular lot than it first appears. Seems getting that close just wasn't close enough! Apparently, coming to Secaucus from the opposite side of Manhattan is akin to scaling Everest from some comfortable digs down in Nepal or Tibet. I had no idea of the 'limits' of a devotee's 'devotion'!!
Then, in spite of being holed up for three days....damned near everyone had to have the Thursday at 4 pm time slot. And apparently Saturday is a pervy, submissive masochist's official 'day of rest'...as NO ONE seemed interested in booking a session that fateful day. Add to that ten or so lovely 'hang up on Me in mid conversation' calls....more than a few 'no shows'....or 'no confirmations'.....and a goodly number of 'maybe babies' and this Mistress became an even more distrusting and pessimistic Gal than usual.
As for the sessions themselves, well.....I was treated to a near premature bolt through the wall ala an old Bugs Bunny cartoon, a very demeaning inspection ('checking for ticks comes to mind) and other episodes of odd behavior. But there were a few good experiences with very giving and emotionally 'involved' submissives as well. And there was a very nice reunion with My friend Mr. Rugman, New York's trample fetish icon. Its always fun getting together with him and reminiscing over the old days pre internet, when publications like Corporal, Step On It, Underfoot and Dominant Mystique ruled the day, and New York was pulsing with wicked clubs like Hellfire and The Vault (before it became a lame tourist trap). A real highlight of the trip was filming a wonderful trampling session with him where I exercised My acting chops...LOL... portraying a haughty and snotty Female exec bent on enslaving and abusing the new I.T. guy in the office. you may well laugh or grimace at My skills in that department when the vids roll out, but you will certainly appreciate the enthusiasm and skill I employ when I climb onto a willing chest in My spikiest heels for some wicked abuse! I think the kinky equivalent of Ebert and Roeper would give it an enthusiastic 'two chubs up'!!!
I finally did get selfish on Saturday afternoon and headed into Manhattan for some shopping in Soho. Loved a couple of stores in particular....Necessities and Joyce Leslie. I almost hesitate to recommend the latter in spite of their fantastic selection of clothes, excellent merchandising and very reasonable prices. An otherwise perfect shopping experience was ultimately ruined by their staff's totally incompetent, clumsy, insulting and demeaning handling of a simple request to 'try something on'. This elicited a succession of nervous, sickened and puzzled looks, followed by the summoning of a 'special manager' who stared Me up and down with a very unattractive 'unibrow' dominated face and then marched Me to a very secret dressing room in an isolated part of the store, and then stationed a staff person outside of it to apparently assure I did not steal anything. When I attempted to tell d through a partially open door to fetch Me another size, this set off a whole new chain of drama and that was all it took to push Me over the edge. I showed My ass a bit...but was happy to do it....and they deserved every bit of venom I flung at them.
Later that night, I had a great time meeting up with Veronica, a VERY tall trans gal from Atlantic City and we hopped around a lot of fun spots in the Village til the wee hours. A great cap off to an uneven weekend. Now if you look at this pic, you will see something REALLY out of the ordinary. A group shot where your Mistress…who clocks in at 6’7….is far and away the shrimp of the litter. You look at these others and do the math???

And as always...a very special thanks to My 'd' who was there for Me the final two days. I don't think I could have gotten through the highs and lows without you d!
So what did Mistress learn from this weekend of adventures and misadventures? A few things.....
I do apparently stand out from the crowd as witnessed by the response to My eros ad. The phone virtually NEVER stopped ringing!
Holeing up in a hotel and booking as many sessions as I can fit in is NOT My future M.O. I need more connection with someone I am playing with than I get in a five minute phone conversation setting up an appointment.
The Hyatt Place in Secaucus is the PERFECT base of operations for anyone's trip to the Big Apple. The size of the suite, and plentiful amenities at an unbelievable price for the location. And fifteen minutes and a comfortable $3 bus ride has you in Times Square.
In the future, trips like this will be at the behest and generosity of a special submissive who brings Me there to spend extended and quality time with them. IF I have extended free time and IF I choose, I may session with one or two others while there.
Its on to ATLANTA next week for the annual expedition to Southern Comfort Conference! I will be there from September 24-27 and while I am not actively booking sessions....if you make Me an offer I can't refuse...... well then how could I refuse???
I am looking forward to partying with the SCC Fetish Girls in their private suite for three nights. It will be a new crowd for the most part as most of the old regulars seem to be taking a pass this year. But new blood is always good and welcome.

My friend Regina Twist, who jumped the fence shortly after the 2008 SCC event and became a Pro Domme as well, is in charge of the events and has put together an imaginative mix of photo sessions, expeditions to shopping and dining in Little Five Points, as well as a play party at Sir David Bane's new dungeon facility there. Needless to say....I can't wait!!!!
Then it will be onto Atlanta again for DomCon, October 9-11. I am very juiced about My first ever trip to this event, a kinky weekend full of Pro and Amateur Dommes and their submissives and slaves. Three nights of decadent parties and dungeon play, afternoons of kinky vendors and presentations highlight the weekend.

And I am MOST juiced about My designated slave and plaything for the weekend, the fab and beautiful CiCi, The Fetish Doll from L.A. I finally met this lovely at the Wildside Week in Las Vegas last spring and it was only time and destiny that W/we knew would eventually lead to a weekend like this!
I think two 6'7 blondes dripping in fetish finery will perk up some heads when Wwe walk into a room. I could really use a dedicated photographer for the weekend. Any volunteers?
Ciao and have fun dears!
Mistress Divinyl
