#FootFetish: Introducing Mistress Jennifer and her 7 subs

AHH Mistress Jennifer ... oh how I love the ring to that.

As you all know by now, I am in the process of becoming a Do-It-Yourself dominatrix, and am currently exploring the space by accepting foot slaves. (Read more about how it all started in my Suicide Girls column here.) Again, this was all CRAZY accidental, but instead of turning my nose up at it I sat there and said, well, what can I learn from this situation?

I'm BAT SHIT CRAZY PASSIONATE and work a SOLID HUSTLE when it comes to business but in my personal life, I get told over and over and over how quiet people think I am when they meet me. They expect this larger than life presence and more than anything I just sit there quietly analyzing the situation. I'm not quite the wallflower, but I am DEFINITELY shyer than people expect. What is a good way to negate said shyness and FULLY walk into my personal truth??

DOMINATE.

<tangent> Dudes, I am SO FREAKING BASHFUL that I can't even talk dirty in bed. I try!! But I literally start laughing at myself when the words escape my mouth!! I experience things to tell stories and the stories that I tell are all written - so to actually HEAR MY OWN VOICE doing all of this is going to be INNNSAANNNEEEE!!! </tangent>

I loved loved loved my first session with the foot slave, and now by documenting my experience have been INUNDATED with more requests. I've spent a week or so breaking down what I know and what I have heard from you guys and have come up with my plan for moving forward - they are as follows: 

1) I have created the character Mistress Jennifer.

This allows me to psychologically disassociate between myself and the fetish world while comfortably creating this space for me to explore this new side of my personality. The walk, the talk, the shoes - all something that I would not normally wear/do in my daily life. At least in the beginning I have to COMPLETELY compartmentalize this experience so I can freely establish the boundaries for myself without domestication or fear.

2) I will accept 7 foot slaves at any given time.

I'm not sure how long I am going to want to explore this space - but following a very Zen approach with everything, I will at least commit to it 100% in the here and the now. That being said, I can't have just one slave since I know I will become emotionally attached. Two slaves seems a bit ... meh ... but in my exploring of the root of the fetish in general, I have noticed that a common theme is that men want to be humiliated, objectified, and emasculated. How can I as the dom provide the sub with that end goal? One way is by creating competition. There will be no "given spots" to any slave. To win my approval they have to please me. Said pleasure will elicit a response which will continue my time with them. There is no beginning to our relationship, there is no end - it is through the pleasure they provide me in the here and the now that will continue things and will keep my interest. Any missed appointments, or failure to comply in any regard will result in an immediate exile.

3) Each of the 7 slaves will be named after one of the characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

I'm obvi a branding and marketing freak, but this one just so happened to also coincide with the emasculation which is at the root of the fetish. Can there really be anything more emasculating to a guy than being referred to as a Disney character?? I don't think so ... but also this will help keep track of all of the subs and for storytelling keep things fresh and easy to follow.

(And remember, just because someone get's a name doesn't necessarily mean they get to keep it. Doc has to EARN his place and be on point 24/7.)

4) Before every session begins, the sub must present me with a gift.

Remember the movie The Muse? It came out in the 90s and it was crazy funny, and crazy good. (It might still be streaming on Netflix.) In it this character claims to be this muse and gets all of these guys to bring her things before she even agrees to meet with them. While that scenario might sound a bit off by anyone's standard of living, it is EXTREMELY common in the fetish community. The sub always always always brings the dom a gift in the hopes of pleasing her. Pleasing me with gifts however as a minimalist is a weird thing ... so rather than think the gift is for Jen Friel, again, this is where Mistress Jennifer comes into play. (PUN INTENDED)

I have set up an amazon wishlist for all slaves to buy off of. The items are all bondage and S&M based ... from riding crops, to masks, gags, and corsets - everything is covered. (Or to the best of my ability right now ... again, this is all through random googling on my part. Someone REALLY needs to write a DIY guide for dominatrixes.)

No gift, no punishment ... I am here to be worshipped afterall.

I'm really excited about all of this. I'm going to structure a proper application for guys to fill out and apply - but for now if there are any ones wanting to jump the gun you can just drop me an email:

JenFriel at TalkNerdyToMeLover dot com.

I want you to beg ... grovel ... and WORK FOR IT!!!

RAAAWWWRRRR!!! Holy bejeepers this is going to be SO MUCH FREAKING FUN!!! I can be SUCH a bitch but I do it in the snarky passive aggressive manner. Now to just literally lay everything on the table is going to be SO RAD!!

Yay new life experience and what an exciting line to have in my obit.

Jen Friel, died today - she founded the website Talk Nerdy To Me, Lover in 2009 and was a part time dominatrix ... 

AMAZING!!

If anyone as well can message me about doing this online that'd be awesome. I want to figure out a way to dominate subs via skype or whatever other technical outlet that makes sense. Basing this in LA is obviously easier for me, but I want to expand and scale this as much as I can while still having it make sense for the experience.

Ex: Maybe I could sit on my desk with my feet up and on cam and I can read boys a bedtime story?? =) I'm willing to try anything here ... literally.

#yaylife

Update: I currently accepted a second slave and have a third application pending. Who wants the other spots? Let's have some freaking FUN!!! =)

#Status: It's complicated (the theme park called dating)

In my little bit of experience in dating, I have found dating to feel a lot like visiting a theme park-Wildly Unfulfilling.

Recently I took my 15 year old son and his best friend to Six Flags. We drove close to three hours to get there, paid $20 to park, took the long trek from the parking lot to the theme park entrance, waited in line to give our grossly over priced tickets to enter the park, then made our way to the first thrill ride. Upon arriving to the end of the line a sign read, “wait time from this point 60 minutes”. Disheartened, we got in line anyway. We stood around waiting patiently and bored out of our minds until it was finally our turn to get on the ride. Filled with excitement, fear, and anticipation; we took our seats, buckled ourselves into restraints that we hoped would keep us secure for the twists and turns we were sure to endure, and away we went. As the ride slowly climbed to the top of the peak, many things went through my mind, but mostly I was asking myself why I had put myself in this place. I knew that the closer we inched to the peak, the closer we were to a decline that would send us into a frenzy of adrenaline, terror, exhilaration, ups, downs, and ultimately would jerk us to an abrupt end.  And to top it all off; after all that work, the waiting, the patience, the anticipation, it would be over in minutes and we inevitably felt utterly unfulfilled. Because just one ride would not quench our thirst for a thrill, we would once again jump into another long line to do it all over again, in hopes that this ride would be the one that brought excitement and fulfillment like no other.

This all got me thinking about the experience of dating. The dating/single scene is by far one of the most interesting scenes I have ever witnessed or been a part of. Of course there are singles who are single by choice and are not looking, but they are the minority. Most single folk are looking for their perfect match. So-they spend lots of money and time to look their best, they open their wallets for nights on the town, waiting in line to get into the hottest clubs, or just simply waiting in line to buy drinks. They wait patiently (and some, impatiently) for that exciting connection that could lead them to the peak of dating pleasure, anticipating that this time, it won’t come to an abrupt ending. Once they make the connection and embark on the ride, they fasten themselves into the comfy space called “hope”. “Hope” will keep them secure enough to endure the ups, downs, twists, and turns of the exciting roller coaster ride that we call dating. After the initial excitement, often times reality sets in and the end of the ride is imminent. Wildly unfulfilled, and jerked back into submission, they get back in line to do it all over again, because the next ride could be “the one”

I realize this all sounds very cynical, but it is what I have witnessed first hand. I don’t like the single scene or the theme park called “Dating”. I have found it to be the most unsatisfying thing I have ever done, besides actually visiting Six Flags. It all feels like such a racket to me. In both experiences I was left feeling violated on many levels. So, what is one to do? As I see it, we have two options. 1. Keep getting on the thrill ride, securely fastening into “Hope”, possibly plunging to your death; or 2. Choose the Merry (Married)-Go-Round, safe, and secure, fulfilling, but not nearly as thrilling. While the Merry-Go-Round seems boring to some of us in line for the single scene ride, there is something really fundamental and sweet about getting back on the horse and enjoying the scenery. Sure, we see the same scenery over and over again, but if you look hard enough, you may see something you didn’t see before. It can be thrilling to look at things with new eyes with each go round’. I guess it is just a matter of what kind of thrill you are looking for.

Where does that leave me in the theme park called “Dating”? After my experience on the single scene ride,  the merry-go-round is looking a hell of a lot more appealing to me. Does that make me any better off? Not necessarily, but  it’s all a matter of perspective. I am happy to be taking this particular ride, right now. That could change, but that’s the beauty of the ride we call “Life”, you can always jump into a different line of thinking and choose a different ride.

#NerdsUnite: Scaring Gamers Everywhere Once Again

<editorsnote> Nerds, meet my buddy Sean. He has a really rad site called Violent Gamer, and he's here today to talk about some of the latest and greatest in the gaming industry. I only have one more thing left to say ... HIT IT SEAN !!</editorsnote>

A Machine For Pigs is the next iteration in the Amnesia series and it is looking terrifying. Frictional Games released an Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs (AAMFP) teaser a long time ago and that turned out to be an AAMFP website that had a few details and some concept art. Frictional Games was thinking about setting up another a teaser and they were planning to release it when the Humble Bundle Five, which contained Amnesia: The Dark Descent, had reached a certain number of sales, but that Humble Bundle did so well, it broke the record and made five million dollars, that they couldn't ask for anything more. Today they released the first in-game video of A Machine for Pigs and it is looking just as terrifying and wonderful as Amnesia was. Before I show that off let me go over a bit of the information they have released about the game already.

First off A Machine For Pigs isn't a direct sequel for Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It looks similar and obviously has a similar approach to the horror genre, but don't expect there to be anything about Amnesia in the game. It does still have Amnesia in front of it's name and it is being made by Frictional Games, but it also being made by Thechineseroom, whom you may know for Dear Esther. The one thing both games have in common is that they are both set in the same alternate history and universe. Here is a bit information about the story, "The year is 1899. Wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus has returned home from a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy. Racked by fever, haunted by dreams of a dark machine, he recovers consciousness in his own bed, with no idea of how much time has passed since his last memory. As he struggles to his feet, somewhere beneath him, an engine splutters, coughs, roars into life."

Amnesia: The Dark Descent was the first horror game since Silent Hill 2 that actually scared me and made me excited about the future of the genre. Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs is set to come out in Fall 2012 and I cannot wait to get my hands on it, especially since Frictional Games has talked about how different the environments are. In Amnesia: The Dark Descent you had the closed halls and dungeons of the old Manse, while A Machine For Pigs has you outside in some open looking areas. We will see more about this as the release gets closer and I leave you with the first game play for A Machine For Pigs, enjoy and be terrified.

Wednesday night I was on my way to the place I was pet sitting for with my dogs. I noticed a car following closely and sure enough I was getting pulled over by the police. It was pretty late at night, probably almost 1 am, I was a little high, and really exhausted. I had no idea why I was getting pulled over. Since it was so late I decided to pull over on the road we were already on under a street lamp (you never know!) so we had some light.

The officer gets on the PA speaker thing and instructs me to pull up to the next cross street and turn down it. Of course it's dark but I realize there are three squad cars so there is plenty of light with all their flashing ones. I stop the car, put my hands on the wheel, and wait. I'm expecting an officer to come up to the window but that doesn't happen.

Then the voice on the speaker says, "Roll up your windows, turn off the car, come out with your drivers license and your hands visible."

Now I'm freaking the fuck out. The only thing saving me from getting hysterical is knowing I hadn't done anything wrong. In my head I was thinking am I getting arrested for something? Did someone switch my tags? What. The. Fuck.

I do exactly as instructed and carefully walk over to the 3 visible officers and 3 police vehicles. I walk carefully so they can see I'm not drunk and won't be doing anything stupid. Once I'm over to the officer that pulled me over the third car departs leaving me with two squad cars and three officers that I was aware of.

Note: It is hard as fuck to see anything when there is one car with flashing lights let alone two or three!! I kept squinting and shading my eyes with my hands.

They ask me to stand over off to the side kind of in between them and my car. I asked if I could sit down and I could see my dogs watching me, probably wondering what they hell was going on. They didn't bark or growl once. The second vehicle was an SUV which was driven by their corporal--the boss I was informed.

Apparently they pulled me over for having a headlight out--which I was unaware of. They told me they would run my license and as long as that was fine then I would be ok to go with just a citation.

As they were running my license the younger officer asked the corporal how he was doing and he replied, "I'm doing fine as long as those dogs don't come out of that car." He was watching my dogs very intently.

That's when it all made sense and I felt a tiny bit more comfortable. They were doing all this "criminal" shit to protect themselves and protect my dogs from being in a bad situation. I told the corporal they are friendly but I totally understand.

The corporal left after my license checked out clean. They handed me back my license and I put it in my pocket--then they asked me to keep my hands out of my pockets. I apologized but they explained that one was in training and was being graded so he had to go exactly by the book. I told them while alarming, I appreciated the way they completely avoided confrontation with the dogs, even though they are sweet, you never know what could happen. I also told them about a few stories where pets were shot without taking preventative measures first (ie. have owner remove dog, taser, pepper spray). The officer grading the other said he's only had to shoot one once and it made him very upset but the dog was latched onto his arm and wouldn't let go. I told him about when I was bitten in the face by a big husky and that I understand accidents happen (and it sucks!).

All said and done, they decided to not give me a $140 citation for my headlight but we decided "I failed to show my insurance card" which is a $10 fee when I bring it in to thr clerk of the court. If he wasnt training/grading they wouldn't have given me anything, damn!

Oh well, I learned from that experience and it's nice to know there really are officers who take precautions with dogs. I also learned how to replace a headlight bulb...it wasn’t as easy as it sounds. But my friend and I did it!
