Famous people sunbathe topless: The history of topless celebrities and royals. – Slate Magazine.
I ran across this and I found the history of women going topless in public to be very interesting. Apparently we are only recently prudish. Queen Anne of Denmark bared her breasts, and even as early as the 1300s women found it quite fashionable. Please check it out.
I have been asked in the past for a replacement source for kajira outfits. The source I wrote about earlier is no longer making those types of outfits. I was asked recently if I knew of another source, and at the time I didn’t. I did some searching and I found a store on Etsy that has kajira silks of a sort for sale. Still not my preferred choice of kajira styles, but it works and the price is right. Check out Sexy Crushes on Etsy and let me know what you think.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 72,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

I just read this story about a sex worker who interviewed a client who masturbates while she burns his feet with cigarettes. Interesting read.
In my many years practicing as a Top/Dominant/Master in the BDSM circles, I have seen this question asked over and over. I’ve even asked that question myself when I was younger, though I think I said standards instead of certifications. Most recently, it was brought to my attention on FetLife, in the Novices and Newbies group. As a result, I thought it would be a good time to lay out the pros and the cons, then discuss why I feel the way I do about this issue.
Those in favor of the proposition usually start out the discussion by focusing on the safety aspects of the training. Some one certified will know the safest places to hit someone, how much force you should use, how much pressure a blindfold can place on someone’s eyes, ect. I can see this as a good thing myself. Safety training is alway a good thing and many BDSM classes/demonstrations focus on safety for a reason. It would seem that this point is a no brainer in favor of the certification.
