EDGE PLAY: "Big Short"+"50 Shades"+"Billions," only women wield the whips
BOLD STROKES: Art industry+Sex industry=Opportunity
Social satire disguised as smut.
The dress didn't arrive in time for Montreal, but I suppose there will be other occasions. And thank goodness latex stretches, coz it fits nice and snug.
Thanks
@CatalystLatex
, for such a lovely frock.

The ladies are up to something, and they're going to take him down. Imagine being up against these two...
Who's got plans for this coming weekend in Vancouver? I do!
@_LadyBellatrix_
and I are going to get all dressed up and then wreak some havoc at the Vancouver Fetish Weekend. There may even be a cruise involved. Good thing we know how to swim.
Anyone doing the VFW, too?
Here's a delicious tease for my new novel, EDGE PLAY. Think "The Big Short" meets "Fifty Shades of Grey," only the women wield the whips and the Wall Streeters submit.

Open it for the smut. Keep reading for the sly takedown of Wall St's "bro" culture & capitalism run amok.

My uncle was a haberdasher, so I pay attention to menswear. Trump's tailoring sucks in general. But this time, it was particularly bad. The white waistcoat is too long AND the black tailcoat is too short. It's jarring to see so much white-especially since it makes him look fatter
Frank Stronach's arrest evoked memories of an awkward & awful encounter I had w/him when I was a 19yo co-op student at Magna & he was its 54yo CEO. Here are my thoughts about consent & abuse of power in

Sure, Bobby Axelrod wears great concert t-shirts and cashmere hoodies, but the real style star of

is Wendy Rhoades. She dresses like the most chic of New York's professional women, in sharp dresses, great separates, and killer accessories.

Wendy Rhoades is the most stylish character in

The director,
@NickCopus
, interviewed a bunch of us & picked me, which was great for the ego because I had to be 20 years older than the other ladies AND I'm a PhD engineer.
On the day, I got to say, "Smile for the camera."
A fascinating piece in
@IntoTheGloss
where
@dominatrixiris
describes her skin/beauty regimen, and where she offers insights into her use of makeup as a kind of ritual to get her head in the game as a pro domme.
Red lipstick and black eyeliner are the key.

Fantastic piece,
@aramroston
. As much as I am appalled by the hypocrisy of the Fallwells, I'm awed by the hustle of Giancarlo. Acquiring seed capital for business ventures is difficult. This entrepreneur showed he was willing to roll up his sleeves and really get his hands dirty.
"It was refreshing to read about a woman consensually entering the world of professional sex and choosing her own path over a man. It’s as sexual and delightful as it sounds."

Stumbled on this photo from Hallowe'en 2008. The waiter serving my friend and me drinks, kneeled as he took our order. It felt intentional. And appropriate.
"It’s easier to cling desperately to the belief that Donald Trump is not a rapist than it is to acknowledge how many of our fellow citizens would rather elect a rapist than a woman."

Show. Clearly, my closet needs more color, but I think my Tom Binns necklace, with its rhinestones, skull and bombs is the correct accessory since my date is a f*cking bombshell.

Shibari isn't easy! As an engineer, I couldn't help but think about all the technical aspects underpinning something as seemingly straightforward as a suspension. It's also essential to work fast.

I downloaded the data and analyzed who the 650 former federal prosecutors are. Average years at DOJ=13. Most years at DOJ, 41. 63% had hired in under Republican presidents, so it's not like they're biased against Republican presidents. Here's more info:
The 650 (and counting) federal prosecutors who were signatories to the letter saying Trump would have been prosecuted for obstruction caught my eye, so I downloaded the .csv file and got to work - my MS in Statistics needed a workout.
Leading a double life had to be exhausting. Kudos to

She's not going anywhere. Would you rather have her in front of you just like this, or would you rather be in her place?
Happy Valentine's Day, BTW!
