Mistress Talia: a sadistic domme

Canes are a necessity in every femdomme's closet, but they need to be replaced every so often. Even if you keep them well-oiled, sooner or later they get a bit too brittle. And then when you run up against a tight, muscular ass, the darned things break on you.

So not only does every dominant need a few canes, but canes need to be replaced periodically.

One of the downsides of having a married sub is I really can't play with chastity with him.

This is where you come in. Or perhaps I should say, this is where you don't cum in. ;)

One of the toys I really like for long-distance chastity training is the CB-3000.

I'll tell you why I like this device. As a real-life domme, I'm concerned about safety issues. I don't like the idea of being a keyholder where someone really is relying on me unless they're very experienced with chastity devices already. In an emergency, the best I can manage is to overnight the key, which is a long time for responding to an emergency.

Madame Giggles is a very small producer of BDSM equipment, you've probably never even heard of her. But I ran across her site on the web and this one item is very kewl. I just emailed my puppy to tell him to buy this!

I ran across this very kewl item for my sissy friends over on transgendered.net.

This review is about crops. I don't recommend you buy one at any type of fetish or adult store, but at a tack shop. You can get 3 or 4 good crops at a tack shop for what you'll pay for one crappy one as an "adult" toy.

If any of you have been cynical about our recommendations because we sometimes link to affiliate programs, this should put your mind at ease. We recommend you buy crops locally and cheaply.

You're wondering what the heck egg scissors are, aren't you?

Egg scissors are this clever little invention for removing the top of a soft-boiled egg.

Lightweight floggers like deerskin and elkskin have have a lot of uses in scene: they are good for a newbie dominant to learn on before moving on to heavier toys, they provide for sensuous flogging for non-masochistic subs, and they make a nice warm-up toy for scenes where you want to get the skin prepared for a more intense flogging later.

In a recent scene report, I referred to my heavy-duty latigo flogger and figured it was time to discuss this flogger.

This flogger was a gift from a submissive a few years back; in fact, this was the first nice whip I ever owned myself.

I have five gorgeous Heartwood whips and if you know anything about Heartwoods, you know should envy me.

I previously blogged about my flat braid suede flogger and cat o'nine. Today, I'm blogging about my bullhide flogger.

A couple toys I'd like to compare are my quirt and what I call my bee-sting whip. The quirt was purchased from the Dressing For Pleasure shop in NJ and the bee-sting whip was purchased from whipmakers Adam and Gillian.

This will be the first of a series of articles about Heartwood whips. There's simply too much to say about these to cover in one review. There are many other fine whip makers, and I'll be discussing some of them in the future also. IMO, Heartwood makes the best floggers, cats and flat braided whips, but she doesn't make everything, so I have other whips too.

I have five Heartwoods personally, which seems ridiculously greedy, and yet, honestly, I want more. These whips are expensive and worth every nickel of the expense. I truly love these whips.

Having a few toys handy when you call makes for a much more fun experience. A few items from around the house, a whip you can make easily and cheaply, and a few low-cost items you can purchase specifically for phone domination can make the call a *lot* hotter for both of us.

I have a lovely pair of gauntlets given to me by a submissive for my birthday a few years back.

Since Talia discussed the harness during the last toy review, I thought today would be a good time to discuss what to put in it!

My absolute favorite dildo to wear is the Scorpio Rising dildo from Eve's Garden.

Anyone who has played with nipple clamps knows that while they hurt some going on, the real pain is during that rush of blood returning to the area once the clamp is removed.

A zipper magnifies that effect by allowing the domme to apply many clamps and rip them all off at once. The effect of using a zipper is not additive, the pain is exponentially more as more clamps are added.
