Happy New Year!

Happy 2018!

What a year we've just had with women rising and saying out loud what their truth's are(#Metoo, Harvey Weinstein and so many others). It's been most audible in the entertainment industry but really this is a larger cultural problem we have. It comes down to consent. One thing that I find really beautiful about the BDSM scene is how well it's figured out how to honor all parties involved in it. As long as you have healthy individuals involved, it  sets the foundation for good interactions because communication, consent and negotiation are standard practices when coming together as a Top and a Bottom (Mistress/submissive). Everyone has a voice and that's beautiful. Also, the use of safe words is a real and practical safe guard for anyone who is playing their edge.  Our mainstream culture (called 'vanilla' in BDSM) could learn a thing or two from the safe practices put into place in the BDSM community.  We have a fertile ground for the show to flower this year because we have some answers to some of our cultural problems this year.
