Today’s moment of shoe zen, brought to you by Wikipedia:

In order to determine the relative prevalences of different fetishes, scientists obtained a sample of at least 5000 individuals worldwide from 381 Internet discussion groups. The relative prevalences were estimated based on (a) the number of groups devoted to a particular fetish, (b) the number of individuals participating in the groups and (c) the number of messages exchanged. Using these measures, feet and shoes were found to be the most common target of preferences. Sixty-four (64) percent of the sampled population that had a preference for an object associated with the body had a preference for shoes, boots, and other footwear.

A few nights ago in chat, I asked everyone to tell me a naughty bedtime story. What I did not tell the room, however, was that there would be a prize for the winner (the person I decided did the best job at granting my request).

This was a sly experiment on my part to see just who was paying attention, and also to find out just how many of you walk your talk. I wanted to see which of you, even without the carrot-dangling allure of a prize at the end would simply attempt to please me by fulfilling my request, who would give me what I asked purely on the basis of his submissive nature.

Well, some of you were exempt from my little experiment, of course, because you do not consider yourself submissive. Some of you rose to the occasion eventually - mr smith, asia, pothead, pet, healer, and a few others.

However, each of you told me the story YOU wanted to hear, which was your first mistake. Though, I must say, mr smith did provide his usual prolific wordsmithing (pun intended), and pothead actually managed to spin out a reasonably hot story!

In the end, I declared two winners - healer and useable. I chose healer because he was consistent and persistent in his storytelling and told a story I could enjoy. However, healer stupidly disqualified himself at the last moment with his quite disrespectful “parting shot.”

So, the winner, by far, was: useable. And the reason he won with room to spare? He was respectful, he brought up things that he knows I like and expertly worked them into the story, and most importantly, he served my request with perfect respect and personal attention to the story I wanted to hear. Further, he did it without question, AND - he did it without the promise of a prize!

And so, useable has been gifted with a very special prize from me. The juicy details of which none of the rest of you will ever know.

The moral of this story:

If you are a submissive who is ready to learn about the depths and subtleties of Dominance and submission, pay attention when Ms Veronica asks you to do something for her… because you can be sure Ms Veronica is always paying attention to you.

If you consider yourself a straight (or bi) non-submissive crossdresser…
If you cross dress for reasons other than sissification…

I want to hear from YOU!

In an effort to address the specific interests of crossdressers and transvestites as described above, I am writing a series of articles for Femphone, and I would love to hear your thoughts on these questions:

• What does it mean, to you personally, to retain your male identity while crossdressing?
• How do you identify yourself and what you do - privately and/or socially?
• Where do you place yourself in the context of the transgendered community?
• And finally, what kind of articles or information would you like to see more of on Femphone?

If you would like to leave a brief comment, you may do so right here on this post. If you have something more involved to say on this subject, you may email or IM me.

I look forward to hearing from you!

The next round of questions in Ms Ava’s Get to Know a Mistress game (I love this game!):

Who is the best kisser you ever had the pleasure of locking lips with? What made them so special?

The first man who was ever submissive to me. He literally “gave” himself to me with his kiss. That was the life altering moment when I realized how truly humbling it is to become the trustee of another human being’s surrender.

What is your favorite thing about spring time?

The way the air smells! I live in the country, so as soon as the farmers start to till the fields, the whole world smells like fresh, wet earth. I just can’t get enough of that smell! I must have been a fertility goddess at some point in my soul’s career.

Where is one place you would like to have sex at, but have not yet had the opportunity? Why is this location so appealing to you?

In a graveyard. It’s appealing because it’s scary, but also because sex there would be a ritual offered to the ancestors from whom I was made, and in that way, it would be a profound affirmation of life.

What is the one make-up related item you could not live without?

Lipstick! Though a close second would be nail polish.

What is the sexiest thing someone has ever said to you?

“Honey, I just bought you a new laptop.” LOL. Actually, that’s the most recently sexiest thing someone ever said to me. But, the all time sexiest thing ever said to me would have to be: “Fix me a sandwich, bitch.” No, no, I’m being silly!Ok, really, it would be: “You’re so… European.” The context in which this sentence was delivered is way too involved (and too personal) to describe here, but trust me, it was the perfect thing, said at the perfect moment, in the perfect tone of voice.

Thank you again, Ms Ava, for these great questions!

Well, that depends on what your Mistress allows…

Read here to find out.

This is what can happen if you wander into KinkChat when Ms Ava and I are hosting our Truth or Dare game on Thursday afternoons at 2PM…

First we have Paris, who accepted the dare to draw a face on his ass with lipstick and email us the proof. VERY well done, Paris. Nice legs, by the way.

Secondly, we have Pothead, who accepted the dare to go into a chat room (not ours) and tell everyone he was cupid, and then save the transcript and email it back to us. Here’s the transcript:

cupid-i am cupid and i will help you find love
hotchick-help me cupid
roster-how are you going to do that cupid?
cupid-by shooting a arrow in your butt
roster-well shoot some body in the ass cupid
cupid- ok<shoots arrow>
roster-moves out of way
cupid-did i hit any body?

they stopped talking to me after that
i kept saying i am cupid and i will help you find love
i said it for 5 min but they stop talking to me after 2 min

Well done, pothead. Too bad they were such dolts.

In which I get to respond to Ms Ava’s latest round of questions in her delightfully cheeky Get to Know a Mistress game:

1. If a sculptor were making a statue of you (posing solo, but you can have a prop), in what position would you like to be rendered?

Crouching, ready to spring. Or, better yet, invisible (I’d love to meet the sculptor/magician who could render that!)

2. If you could wake up tomorrow fluent in any language, which language would you choose?

Japanese. Yes, a far cry from the Romance languages I love, but I would be able to say “lip my stocking” right to Bill Murray’s face… and mean it.

3. Growing up, were you a tease? (this question comes courtesy of my darling exhibitionist pet, Brandon).

Now, I know that everyone is expecting all us Mistresses to say - yes, of course I was a teenage tease. However, I must admit, I was not - at least I didn’t think so at the time. I was too into casting spells and reading tarot and generally maintaining my protective “scary quiet girl” persona to bother with teasing. It wasn’t until I was older, and I was able to look back at myself as a teenager, that I realized that I had actually been the worst kind of tease - one who teases obliviously, without even knowing what teasing is!

But oblivious girls grow up and get all… un-oblivious. And now I am not the worst kind of tease, but the most dangerous - a professional. And now… all your cock are belong to me!

4. We recently has this discussion in my Yahoo group. List the top three songs to make love to. List the top three songs to fuck to.

Making love: Sade’s Love Deluxe (the whole album); the sound of crickets and/or peepers in the summer; rain on flagstone - also in the summer.

Fucking: Any early Santana (EXCEPT, believe it or not, Black Magic Woman - I have come to really hate that song); bellydancing drums; older goa trance music.

5. St Patrick’s Day is just around the corner….do you believe in “luck”? Why or why not?

I believe in the mind-blowing abstraction of chaos, of which the warmer, fuzzier concept of luck is sometimes an expression. How’s that for a pain-in-the-ass obfuscation of an answer?

A few weeks ago, Mr Smith wrote a script especially for me. And after much patient waiting on his part, I have finally been able to record it.

Mr Smith, this was a great script, and a pleasure to record. Let it henceforth be known that you now hold the honor of being the first man to make “scriptual” offering to Ms Veronica.

Enjoy…

For tonight’s Power Exchange chat (10PM, eastern), I’m going to initiate a two-part talk about Dommes. Part one (tonight) will consist of discussing questions such as these:

What qualities does a good Domme possess?
What “types” of Dommes are there?
What do you think Dommes get out of being dominant?
Can you spot a “Domme poser?” and if so, how?

Part two (next Friday) will give you the rare chance to turn the tables and ask ME questions about what it’s like to be a Domme. And if you’re very good boys, perhaps a surprise guest Domme or two will join us as well.

See you at 10PM.
