Greetings all!
Lots of Great goings on here 'Southern Style' at The House from now
until the end of the year, so plan ahead!
First some news...
1) My 'Dungeon Couture By WhipGirl' Dungeon
Furniture line is in the making. My first piece is 'The Throne': a bondage and worship throne with removable/adjustable seat
for more serious worship, storage areas, and an overall custom majestic motif suited to the Owner's particular style and needs.
The prototype piece being built for My space is being assembled in My Dungeon this week. Pictures of it will go up everywhere
including My seperate Dungeon Furniture website as soon as the finishing touches are complete. I will share that website url
when it is complete and ready for your perusal. This and other pieces in the making are all designed by Me and custom built
by My carpenter slave.
They will be available for ordering (pick up and national delivery) so you can own a custom piece
of equipment for your personal playspace designed by a Mistress, for serious players. Stay tuned for the photo announcements.
2) Happy Helloween! I hope each and everyone one of you are planning something ghoulish and deviant. The House
won't be doing a party this year, but there are other events coming. Sessions will be available as usual. I will also be doing
a new photo shoot the day after Hell's Eve with esteemed photographer Bill Lester of NEPA www.myspace.com/billlesterphotography so be ready for some great new photos of yours truly for your adoration.
3)
NOVEMBER EVENTS:
SATURDAY November 14th: 'Dinner and Discussion at The House.' The evening's topic: 'Enjoying your Prowess
and Sexual Sadism.' I taught this workshop at DomCon in Los Angeles and it was a wonderful turn out with over 75 in attendance.
If you ever wanted to learn more about the psychological aspects of the practice of consensual Sadism and pressing the bounderies,
this is the workshop for you. LIMITED reservations, so act soon. I accept paypal and MO.
Class Donation: $35/person.
This includes a gourmet tapas dinner, discussion, and socializing afterwards.
THANKSGIVING: THURSDAY November 26th.
This has been a yearly event I used to do in Baltimore and Orlando, and am finally getting around to starting it up again.
'Thanksgiving Dinner for Wayward Slaves'. If you are a slave boy or girl who has no place to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday,
or just want to spend it with Mistress, then I would love to have you at The House. I'll be serving Thanksgiving Dinner, 'Southern
Style' with ALL of the trimmings: Turkey, smashed potatoes, candied maple yams, sausage stuffing, fried apples, vegetables,
pumpkin and apple pies, and more. (and if there's some lonely Dominants out there too you're welcome to attend..;) ) We will
also be doing a mini discussion after we're all stuffed about tips on how to better yourself as a slave for your Owner, and
a question and answer time to ask anything you'd like with Mistress. Studio Donation: $35/person. This is also limited space
availability so act soon.
4) I will be staying in town for the Christmas and New Years as well, so sessions and
B & B stays can be booked as usual. I usually only need a few hours notice for a personal session. B & B stays a few
days before or as soon as you know your vacation travel plans is optimal.
5) PLAN YOUR CATERED HOLIDAY PARTIES

Greetings all,
Over
the years I have been lucky enough to have long term 24/7 relationships/ownerships with some wonderful full time lifestyle
slaves.
When I first got into the scene and all was pounded with all of it's terms, I found it confusing. 'Lifestyle,
Professional, 24/7, slave, submissive, boy, boi,' etc. I wanted to just figure out My main interests and how to define Myself
TO Myself. A part of the scene I enjoyed so much was I didn't have to define Myself like people do in the 'Vanilla World'.
I just wanted to be Me and learn about what interested Me.
Long term slave ownership excited Me. It brought Me back
to the old South days when everything was a little slower, laid back, and I adore Southern mannerisms and hospitality. Granted
as we all know some of the slaves back in that era (and I refer to slaves of any race, as non-consensual slavery was not limited
to blacks, jews were the first slaves) were held against their will, yet many enjoyed their status, were gratefully loyal
and lived a full life.
My 'today's version' definition of 'slave': A person who has consensually given their mind, body,
heart, and trust to the hands of another. The slave has vowed loyalty to their owner by giving up their personal rights, freedoms
and putting the needs and wants of their Owner before theirs. A slave gains satisfaction from servitude, and providing happiness
and contentment to their Owner unselfishly.
Simple terms:
Owner-Owns a slave, a slave is considered physical property.
slave-Serves the Owner, relinquishes all rights and personal freedoms.
Dominant: Exercises physical/psychological power
and control over the submissive.
submissive: passively serves the Dominant, and has minimal personal rights.
boy:
(male)-Passively playful to the 'Mommy, Daddy'. They have a choice and input concerning their servitude limits.
boi:
(primarily female masculine OR given to a male to define girly or queer males)-Passively playful to the 'Mommy, Daddy'. They
have a choice and input concerning their servitude limits.
*It truly takes a very special kind of person to be a slave.
It's not for everybody.
Ahh yes, times were 'easier' back then. slaves worked at the house, prepared meals, did chores,
etc. Now these days, many slaves hold full time jobs, go to school to better themselves for their owners, and have children.
The duties have changed. These I call it 'Outside World' responsibilities and they can definately put a damper on a 24/7 relationship.
We're just busier. Many Owners have the same responsibilities too. Whew!
Here's a few general tips to go on if you're
in or considering the responsibility of a 24/7 slave-Owner relationship:
(these aren't in any particular order, all
are important)
1. Seperate fantasy from reality. While yes, those books and films we've seen and read seem like getting
your cake and eating it too--life doesn't happen like the flims and books. Remember the GREAT thing about fantasy is that
it's controlled by YOU. YOU can make it anyway you want at any time and nothing could go wrong or be uncomfortable. When real
people and real life come in to the picture, things may happen that aren't predictable nor pleasurable at times. Keep the
fantasies yours and enjoy them seperately from your real life relationship.
2. Realize that a 24/7 slave/Owner relationship
is MORE responsibility that having a regular dating or friendship relationship. It's a LOT of work, communication, and growth
together because there is more at stake. I could compare it to having a twin. If chemistry is right and communication is constant
and open, needs and wants can be executed automatically and flow with ease.
3. Don't take each other for granted. The
Owner must realize that if it wasn't for the slave's servitude and loyalty, we wouldn't be able to return to the slave proper
discipline and guidance. The slave must realize quality servitude, no insubordination, and a positive attitude only motivates
the Dominant to fulfill the slave's needs and desires, which in tune...makes the Dominant happier because they are expressing
their Power. I say, when you make Me happy, I make you happier. It's a constant energy circle.
4. If you don't have
time, MAKE it. Even the simplest things can be just as important than long playtimes and ceremonies.
I enjoy the idea
of setting up an altar type table/place. Leave a note for your Owner telling Her/him to have a good day if you won't see each
other. This idea is even nice for non-live ins. Make this place a place for the both of you to communicate with each other
daily. These days text messages and emails work too. It just takes a few minutes to show your gratitude for each other.
5. If there are disagreements (and there will be as in any relationship) nip it in the butt immediately. Don't dwell on
it and let it snowball. Both sides need to feel comfortable enough to maturely confront the other and talk about it. It may
not be something you want to hear..but each side needs to listen, hear the issue, and work towards an amicable solution. Particular
situations may take more time and attention than others, but getting over it and coming to an agreement makes your relationship
stronger. Remember. mouth shut, ears open. It'll be your turn to talk soon.
6. Be honest with your Dominance and servitude.
Don't 'kiss ass' to your owner because you want playtime this weekend, then you end up slacking the week after, after your
wants were fulfilled. If you're going to serve another, don't do it half assed. A good Owner will recognize it anyway and
most likely dismiss you. REMEMBER, as a slave, your needs and wants come LAST.
7. As an Owner AND as a slave: Don't
say you're going to do something then don't follow through. Exceptions: So you had to cancel playtime because you're sick
or the car broke down, or slave has to work late....these WILL come into play sometime. Both need to realize life may get
in the way at times. There will be disappointment to both sides when it does happen, but think of how much sweeter the next
time will be when both parties are more relaxed, rested, and ready.
8. Do vanilla things?! Yes yes....get out there
and go to the park or a museum. Do other things that interest the both of you and grow together.
9. slaves, remember
your place. If you've made the choice to become owned, it's a big step. you must remember that your Owner's word is law. Remember
why you are there if there is discomfort. You are there because you were chosen. Insubordination will not be tolerated.
10.
The fine line: as a slave and Owner please take note of signs of possible 'abuse of power'. Know when a relationship may be
becoming physically and/or emotionally abusive. I just got out of a 'boifriend'/slave type relationship that turned ugly.
he grew to be very controllling over Me, wanted to know about My personal family issues, stalked all of My sites in a
bad way, and constantly accused Me of lying about I don't even know what...it was getting ugly and uncomfortable. I was very
unhappy months before but just ignored it. I knew it was going nowhere and coming to an end . These relationships carry a
LOT of emotion. Know when to say when and get the negativity out of your life and choose the positive route for your well
being.
I hope these tips help determine (and help manage) whether or not an Owner/slave type relationship is for you.
If
there's questions, shoot. I'll help you out if I can.

Domina Vendela Zane
