I can not wait until Sunday. Going with a friend to see Mistress Midori in LA at JT's Stockroom. My first "lessons" on becoming a domme were from a lecture I attended several years ago given by her. I learned so much that night. Not to buy into the typical porno stereotype of who a dominatrix is. You win more flys with honey than with vinegar (my mother actually taught me that). Know what your sub wants. I carry these words of wisdom with me during every play session. Not only is she a wonderful orator but she knows her shit, hell I was willing to be her submissive after listening to her.
It is good to stay fresh and go back to the beginning of your journey, to see how far you have gone and brush up on your basics. And while I'm there I can get a few more toys to add to my collection. A girl can never have to many toys. And it is a wonderful opportunity to network.
