Aerial Improv Contest

If I didn't already have a hot date, this is what I would be doing this Sunday night.



Please join us for Versatile Art’s second not-quite-annual aerial improv competition! Aerialists of all levels will show off their ability to perform their choreography to a randomly-selected piece of music. Will they get Yanni, or Rammstein? Nobody knows until we hit that “random” button. Contestants get one free refusal, and after that they lose points for rejecting a song. Our panel of celebrity judges will tally the scores and select a new improv champion. What do they get? Cash! Where does that cash come from? The door! So please come out and enjoy a hilarious night of aerial virtuosity.

This year’s amazing judges’ panel includes: Armitage Shanks (Dog and Pony Show Productions and Seattle Erotic Art Festival's Performance Director), Martha Enson (En-Joy Productions) and the always-fabulous Tamara the Trapeze Lady representing VA.

Next class is for blood players!

Or to be more precise, those who play with breaking the skin. Well, anyone who does any kind of play where they come in contact with skin should come check this class out.

I have been wanting to do a class about skin structure and haven't felt like I could based on the fact that I had limited experience with needles and blood play. In the last year I have accrued a variety of experience that complement my book knowledge quite nicely. 



The Body's Edge: Skin Anatomy for Kink**
WHEN:     Thursday, May 10 07:30 PM - 09:00 PM
WHERE: Center for Sex Positive Culture - Annex
1608 15th Ave. W. Seattle, WA 98119
WHO: Anyone 18+
COST: $20

Our skin is the barrier between us and the world. So many kinds of edge play involve the breaking of skin: needles, cuttings, brands, rough body play, just to name a few. Come explore the physical and psychological implications of breaking this barrier. Through a slide show and demonstration, Sophia will share detailed information about the tissue and structures that comprise our skin. Learn how to work with or against skin's nature to further your scene or dynamic. How much do you want it to hurt? Do you want to have scars? The answers to these questions lie in understanding the skin's anatomy. Special attention will be given to the topics of scarring and wound care. This is a class for both bottoms and tops, of all genders and orientations.

Go to the FetLife Event Page for more info and to let your friends know you are going!

You can rsvp for this workshop by emailing workshops@sexpositiveculture.org.

**This is part of my Anatomy for Kink 201 series.

A slice...

Last Saturday, I help one of my sweeties celebrate his birthday with a "harem night." He asked that all his partners share a meal and pamper him and then fuck him silly. We all gladly agreed.

As Jim dropped me off to go prepare for the evening, he kissed me good bye and said "Have fun at the orgy." In return, I wished him good luck at the play party he was planning on attending elsewhere.

Good Grief - Exploring Loss & Love


My father died last year, and I have been going through the grieving process. At times, it has been intensely sad, infuriating, crazy-making and acutely painful. Sometimes, all at once. I was helped greatly by attending Swedish Hospital's "Journey through Grief to Hope" program.

Since the intensity of each person's grief process is so different, even for different losses, it is important to have understanding and acceptance that people need  varying levels of support and for various lengths of time. My hope is that this evening of artistic expression will illuminate the process and encourage people to ask for the support they need.

You can find more information about Good Grief on Facebook.

Home again. But not all that available.

The last three weeks have been crazy. Prepping and going to Portland for Kinkfest and recovering and then prepping to go to Chicago for Sinsations in Leather and now home recovering. Recovering while working on the Festival, concurrently.

I need to figure out how to work in some exercise. When I work on the Festival, the majority of the work I do is on the computer. One idea I have is to make as many of my socializing opportunities include some form of exercise. So, if you want to visit with me, ask me out on a walk!
