BDSM: It's Not What You Think

2008-06-03T04:47:02Z

This is a totally repeat of what we just posted over at our site but we wanted to get the word out to as many peeps as possible.

Atticus

------------

BDSM: It's Not What You Think!
About a year ago we had the pleasure of being asked to participate in a student film project being shot for a class at San Francisco State University. The film featured many important people in the local San Francisco BDSM community so we were very honored to be asked to participate. It was well received after it's initial class presentation and due to the positive response the filmmakers have expanded upon it and entered it into the Frameline International Film Festival where it will be having it's premier screening on Friday June 20th at 10pm at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, CA!

For more information and to view a trailer of the film go to BDSM: It's Not What You Think

And I swear we mean it this time, a show is coming. Stay Tuned!

It's been so long since I've posted and it's funny that it's ths post that made me want to bust out again:

our new toy

I love Mr. S.

When you are shopping for things like this you really want to hear from someone who has used it and can speak to it's features from experience. And the fact that the sales person was such a freakin' cutie just makes it all the more enticing.

We bought this on the day that Atticus was in the CB3000. =giggle= it was really hot to think of him getting excited in his cage while the sales person shared his love of electric play.

If you are interested in learning more and are in the area, ask for Adam - he's also one of the hot guys modeling the gear on the website.

Now we just have to make time to play with it....

Look into my eyes.....

The next show is up!!

Fetish Flame 35.0 - April 16, 2007 - Hypnosis

Natasha Strange shares with us how hypnosis can enhance exploration and play sessions.

This show should come with a warning "Listening to this show could put you into an extremely relaxed state of mind and make you fall in love with Natasha's voice".

We have known Natasha for a long time, and she has become one of my closest girlfriends, and I have to say that I didn't think I would be as effected by her voice as I was.

There's one point in the show where both Atticus and I are momentarily speechless as we catch ourselves drifting as she walks us through how she works with clients.

and don't you just love this picture?! Sadly, it took me a moment to go from "what an odd set of flowers to be holding to .... oh, it's the whip!" yeah, I'm not always the brightest bulb in the box =chuckle=

sweet dreams

I was kaylee!

2007-04-07T15:44:56Z

When I was a teenager in Boston, I would tag along with some older friends to Harvard Square and go to the Saturday midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. People were dressed up as the characters and we all had a great time participating with the movie.
There was a stage set up where a group would act out the entire movies as it went along, BUT to make it even more interesting, the characters all played other parts: i.e. The guy dressed as Riff Raff played Janet's part.

I think we should start something like this in SF with Firefly.

I would want to be dressed as Zoe, but play Kaylee's part.

Day one of the International Ms Leather Conference

2007-04-07T03:58:39Z

Wow, what a great day!
It's a Market holiday, so I had the day off of work and attended my first IMsL

I met up with Gina and Natasha It was so nice to have some girl time! It was also nice to get a few minutes to catch up wtih fd_midori and Kelly (Is it okay to have crushes on your friends? sigh) Midori had on a gorgeous latex ensemble and it was enticing to hug her and smell the rubber while being surrounded by the constant light scent of leather.

I took the classes offered on cutting and scarification. Those two classes alone were worth the price of admission.

Sharrin Spector, thank you for offering all the safety and basic info of cutting in the most interesting way, and Raelyn Gallina, thank you for one of the more interesting displays of blood play that I've ever seen (and up close too!) Your work is beautiful.

Does this mean I'm into blood play for myself? Nope. But I am very interested in and fascinated by those who do it well and those who take the pain of the blade as if someone is drawing on the with a pen.
But as with most things, I'll never say 'never'.

HAPPY DANCE!

2007-04-06T15:18:55Z

We just learned that we were both accepted for this season's San Francisco Sex Institute classes!

We were not aware when we went for the orientation that it would be a selection of 25 people from the 50 applicants so we needed to wait until last night to find out if we were among the lucky 25. If we weren't selected it would have been bittersweet as we would know that there were other people who would be taking the training for their jobs or volunteer work and helping others.

Just being there for orientation made me want to spread the good word of SFSI. The training they offer has the most wonderful ripple effect. It gives honest sex education to those who will in turn be educating, counseling, and spreading the sex positive environment created there. I would have loved to have something like this when I was growing up. My parents did the best they could, but it mostly was a matter of handing me an article to read and then walking away quickly before I had a chance to ask questions.

I honestly can't wait to dive in!

HAPPY DANCE!

Chastity Devices

2007-04-04T00:03:18Z

On of the best part about doing a show on chastitiy devices was finally getting Atticus in one! We laughed ourselves silly through the challenge of getting him in it. Hmm... shoulda realized that if I'm manhandling him trying to get it on, that it just wasn't going work. (still cracking up over: "run your hands under cold water!")

We can't thank Natasha Strange enough for coming on the show to talk about her experiences and for loaning us the CB3000 for our "research".

And check out her wonderful and sassy photography at Darling Propaganda !

Interested in buying one yourself? Mr. S has quite the selection!

Here's the show:
Fetish Flame 35.0 - April 2, 2007 - Chastity Devices

Lots of great things going in for FF!!

2007-04-03T23:49:50Z

Holy cow we've been busy!

We posted an amazing show for all the literary pervs out there with Thomas Roche . After getting our hands on Noirotica3 we couldn't wait to get our hands on him.

I would guess it was one of Atticus' favorite shows. It was so wonderful to have a front row seat to listen to the banter of two oh-so-cute and intelligent guys...

Here's the show:

Bay Area residents: Join us in supporting Kink.com 3/8/07

2007-02-28T04:46:01Z

Public hearing regarding Kink.com purchasing the Armory
March 8th 10-12:30 in City Hall, room 416.

We are going to try to make this meeting. Peter is one of the nicest guys we've met in the scene, and he runs a business that provides us with some of the hottest and sexiest bdsm content out there. We've been to his other space, and I would dare guess that most of his neighbors there have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.

and if I can borrow a note from Midori's blog: FYI, it's not a good idea to show up in fetish or sexy wear. I'll be wearing a suit, corporate wear or ordinary street clothes.

It's a stronger statement to show them that us 'ordinary' fold support kink.com.

See you there!!!

A NOTE FROM PETER AT KINK.COM:
Hi Everyone,

As you know, we have come under a certain amount of heat for buying the Armory to use for movie production.

Despite the fact that the Planning Department agreed to our use prior to the purchase, the Mayor pressured them into holding a public hearing on March 8th 10-12:30 in City Hall, room 416.

This is an ‘informational meeting’ designed to hear community feedback, and there will be no vote. However, in order to prevent the city from attempting to rezone the Armory, It is important that we show up in force and that we outnumber the protestors, so please save the date! We will send out more information nearer the time.

Cheers
Peter

PS please forward this on to any lists that you think might be appropriate, or post it anywhere you think people might see it (tribe.net, myspace pages, etc.).

I consider this research (I love my hobby)

found it!!

2007-02-15T05:05:22Z

I thought I had punched in all the right combinations on You Tube to find this, but I guess it just took sitting on it a day and then seeing the note from Jovino... and I tried again... and it came right up!!

Here's a cute little love story to share on Valentines Day...

searching for video

2007-02-14T05:57:12Z

We were sent us a link to an amateur movie about a boot/shoe fetishist that falls in love with a woman who loves to wear boots and then shares her clown kink with him.

I have search thousands of emails, but I can't find it and I can't seem to get the right video to come up on Google...

anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?!?!?

finally! a new show posted!!

2007-02-07T04:39:23Z

Since the very early days of Fetishflame we started forming a friendship with a "kinky mom".

We finally got to meet in person at Folsom last year and shared the pleasure of our first public spankings.
at long last we were able to coax her onto the red couch for what proved to be a fun and oh-so-interesting talk about being kinky, being a mom, and the adventures that have come her way.

We hope she comes back on. There are a few topics that peaked our interest that we want to delve into a bit more....

You can thank the sexy Thrash for getting us back on track for 2007!

xo

it's been way too long

2007-01-28T17:54:50Z

We had a wonderful night of poker and BDSM play with old friends and new friends last night...

It had been long enough since the last time that we were both feeling a bit rusty, but it's amazing how quickly the joy of putting some heat in another person's back can make it feel like it was just yesterday.

I got my hands on a very sexy switch for a nice long stretch of sensual play. I was craving using the pinwheel and his back was marked with the pretty dotted ribbons quickly. I'm learning more about myself every time I play. I definitely lean more towards sensation play rather than going for the pain for pain's sake - whether I'm on the top or bottom. My subject seemed to enjoy the level that I kept it at. I had a feeling that he might have liked me to take it up a notch, and with any luck we'll get a chance to play with him and his beautiful wife sometime in the future.

Atticus had some time with a true masochist. She had already been marked pretty good from a previous romp with two very experienced doms, and he added to the heat on her ass and worked up a sweat that left them both with happy smiles on their faces.

The icing on the cake was meeting a new rubber couple. She was new to latex and only experienced the fashion aspect of it, but with the guidance of her partner they were digging deeper into heavier rubber play.

We keep fantasizing about hosting a rubber party. Maybe one of these days we'll get off our butts and make it happen.

Speaking of getting off my butt and making it happen, we have a great show with Ms. Thrash waiting to be edited and posted...my goal is to have it done by the end of the day. (and then ask her to come back! She is definitely someone we want to get to know more :)

but first we're off to brunch with Natasha and her guy!

Resolutions and such

2007-01-01T17:32:25Z

I get very excited over the changing calendar.

When I was a kid, I equated it to the thrill of getting a new notebook (I was a bit of a nerd): anything can go in that notebook. There are no pages in there that hold anything bad or unresolved... it is just waiting for new information to be stored, and it's up to me what to put in there.

I am feeling so grateful for all that I have, who I have in my life, and what adventures lay ahead.

I can't wait to see what fills the pages for all of us in 2007!

Ch-Ch-Changes

2006-10-29T14:50:48Z

Time changes today - I really didn't want to be up at 6:00am on a Sunday, but it's nice to have some quite time to post here and have some coffee while the dog sleeps on my lap.

God what a month! We are pushing ourselves to get the show going again; we miss it so much. (if we could only quit our day jobs...)

We have three great shows sitting in "the can" so hopefully we come out with a weekly for a bit. We experienced some technical difficulties that hurt the quality of the sound of the shows, but with the wonders of technology, it seems like we can clean them up so that it sounds fine (but my goal is to have them sounding wonderful).
Fortunately, the guests on these shows have voices that are so velvety and/or powerful that it can't be too bad.

Okay, so here's the part where I briefly explain what the hell has been going on - no violins needed, it may seem like I'm going the 'woe is me route' but it's all been time spent on one of the wonderful roller-coasters in life that side track us:

Atticus' job had some deadlines that had him working until 3:00am for a couple of weeks (but they have been more than generous in return with extra vaca days, large gift cards and verbal appreciation)
We had a wonderful Folsom (to be discussed very soon)
Surprise guests to stay with us for a few days after Folsom

And what really threw us for a loop was that I got a call about a possible new job, I really wasn't looking because one new job in a household is enough for a couple of months - and I interviewed for 2 days and took the job.

Right after accepting the job, we left for the Podcast Conference in southern California (which you will hear about because there was quite a meeting of the erotic podcasting minds there that may lead to some wonderful enhancements in collective information reaching the public!)

We returned from the Conference and had two days to unpack, do laundry and pack for our European vacation. I felt obligated to work full days then to start cleaning up my old job for my partner I was leaving there. Needless to say, I could have pack better.

The vacation was the BEST either of us ever had! (again, details to follow)

I gave my old job one week after we got back. I was with the company for almost 15 years, so I had a LOT of transfer of knowledge to do. And because I really wasn't planning on leaving, I did nothing to prepare for this ahead of time... but I digress
I worked harder that week than I had all year - maybe even in the last 5 years.

Then I started my job last week - and since the person I replaced left over a month earlier, I have had some long days trying to figure out the lay of the land. It's not going to be easy, but I am so happy for the challenge and it seems like an amazing group of intelligent and talented people.

oh, and I start my day at 6:00am....pretty tough adjustment. ouch

so there's our story - you can catch more details on our next show. We'll be recording tonight, so it should be up soon. Maybe we'll make November 1st the kick off of getting back in the saddle.

Thanks to everyone for your emails of support and encouragement to get moving again. We are not falling on the list of "Pod-faders" !

oh what a night!

2006-09-24T16:57:15Z

ok, it's a cheesy subject line, but I'm going on a few hours sleep, a bit of a hangover, and I'm still a bit gushy over last night.

When we read that graydancer and cunningminx were coming to town, we knew we had to meet them. And since we wanted to find a way to get more time with them than just shouting over the masses at Folsom, we organized a cocktail gathering. [ special thanks to Joe & Pam of "A Guy A Girl and A Bottle" for helping us get set up. you were my saving grace - and sanity. ]

We did not get as much one on one time with Graydancer and minx as we would have liked. There was some shop talk, but the rope that Graydancer brought stayed in it's bag. Fortunately, we will be getting together on Tuesday to check out Midori's photo exhibit and hopefully dinner.
minx, I have to pass along that your beautiful exhibitionism was most welcome - and humorously I hear that it made it a bit difficult for our house guest to get to sleep that night.

This was the puppy's first party, and we didn't quite remember the last house party we went to where there was a dog running around and we both thought it was a bit inappropriate... until fd_midori arrived in the most elegant and sexy ensemble which of course Maddie wanted to get too close to. Downstairs she went and everyone's latex was safe and sound.
Which was for the best, as Penny and Blaine (Lust Designs) showed up shortly after in killer military outfits which even I had a hard time not jumping up on.

With the smell of latex in the air, "boobiesexuals" close by, and new sexy friends that gave me that nice twinge in my tummy (or was it lower) whenever we caught eyes or brushed close when passing through the crowd - my pheromones were quite peaked!

Which was just what I needed to don my own latex outfit and head to Slick which was being held at the Porn Palace this year.

I'll write more later if I have time, but my Honey is making me a yummy breakfast which is almost done - so I'll skip to the more interesting part of the Slick party for me:

My friend Jon was there looking very cute in a shorter-than-usual leather kilt, under which he was hiding (well, not "hiding" since he would readily show us all - Thank you for that!) a 3k chastity device! I have been doing some research on chastity devices: how do they feel, how long do you leave them on for, how do you pee, etc, etc. Jon answered all of my questions from his experiences and said he'd be willing to come on the show and talk about it more.

Jon asked me if Atticus wanted to try a chastity device..and I couldn't believe that I had not asked him about that yet. So first thing this morning, as he's making me breakfast, I did - and he said "Sure!" - to be honest, I didn't think that would be the answer. I'm all a-tingle to explore this with him.

oh wait, the 'highlight' part of the night was when we were just about to leave the Slick party and hugging friends goodbye...Jon hands me the key to his device and said he would get it from me tomorrow/today when I'm at the SOJ booth at 1:30pm... It was a very cool moment.

Now I just have to remember to bring the key today....
=smile=

First Public Spanking! Come join me tomorrow!

2006-09-23T20:39:22Z

Ms Thrash and I will be joining hands and taking the plunge into exhibitionism tomorrow at the Folsom Street Fair.

Want to join us??!!!

1:30pm at the Society of Janus booth. Our best friend Steve will be the host with the most - and Selina Raven and Gina Grant will be the power behind the paddles.

It may sound so small and trivial to many, but I have to admit that I am very excited but a bit nervous!!

Beefcake - Check it out!

Midiori's show is officially open - WOW - What a great addition to an exciting Folsom weekend!!!

i have always had a passion for quotes, and just recently discovered a couple by e.e. cummings that really hit home:

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. "

and

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."

A week or so ago, I saw this picture on Midori's journal :
[you can see more of her work at the Beefcake exhibit]

It stayed on my mind...very strong/powerful image

I never really gave cigars that much thought, but this got me doing just that.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of having Bridgett Harrington back on the red couch to about her latest books and we asked if she might speak to cigar fetish as well. It just so happened that her friend Coral was along for this trip and was willing to share her own love for the topic.

Once again, Bridgett (and Coral) shed light on a fetish in such a way that when she was done, I had a sly smile on my face and a "wow, now I get it" frame of mind. [Betka Schpitz in pic with BH]

My world is a much better place with so many amazing women in it!
