Ms Paige has instituted a new way for all of us to get to know what she calls “the Mind behind the Mistress.”

She calls it Flix and Lit:

This is for those of us who have a stack of books next to our beds, and who rent more movies than they go out to see. Now be honest- don’t fudge! Copy and paste to your blog, and let’s have a slice of the Mind Behind the Mistress. Or slave. Slaves can post too! Just remember to leave your link in my comments so we can all go look! This week, what is on your bedside table? What movies did you rent?

I think this is a smashing idea, so here’s my Flix and Lit for this week:

As some of you know, I’ve recently moved, so most of my books are still in boxes. But here a few that I’ve recently unpacked and set aside for bedtime reading:

• Spiritual Bathing: Healing Rituals and Traditions from Around the World, by Rosita Arvigo and Nadine Epstein
• Aural Thrills and Oral Skills by Miranda Austin
• The Ecology of Freedom: The Emergence and Dissolution of Hierarchy, by Murray Bookchin
• The Honest Courtesan: Veronica Franco, Citizen and Writer in Sixteenth-Century Venice, by Margaret Rosenthal (this was gifted to me by a very special man, and I am looking quite forward to devouring this book!)

My Netflix choices this week:

• None! I’ve been way too busy. But lately, I’ve got a hankerin’ to watch Henry and June. For like the 10th time.

Mark your calendars and get your credit cards ready! This is the first marathon I will be participating in, and I want you to make it good for me! Very good.

I will be available on Saturday, May 19, from Midnight till Noon. Email me or IM in advance to arrange a call.

A new initiate of mine asked several very good questions of me in our initial interview. And because my answers to him ended up including many “about Ms Veronica” statements, I thought I would expand upon my conversation with him and share my answers here.

What do you mean by: “ A demon with a lust for the succulent taste of the male soul?”

I believe sex is the most direct way to the soul. And so, I seek to conquer men sexually because to do so is to stand at the threshold of the soul. Some people get to this point only to turn back out of fear. But I am not afraid to stand at that threshold, and at those times when it is proper to do so, to cross over it and partake of the secret feast that waits there.

And because I know that such a feast awaits, I long to conquer, to take possession, to own this boundaryland of a man’s soul. And on occasion, to even devastate, violate, desecrate it… but NOT destroy, never destroy.

Destruction of this boundary inevitably leads to loss of will, loss of succulence, the death of a man’s lust. And a man made barren in this way would leave me nothing on which to feed. So you see, my choice to avoid destruction is not motivated by a half-assed desire to be humane, but by a calmly conscious, absolutely selfish hunger.

As I’ve already said, it does no good to ruin a man simply for the sake of doing it. However, destroying the boundaries of a man’s soul is very different than breaking his will. When it has become clear to me that a man needs to be broken, I will not hesitate to break, but I will do it because the time has come to break him open; the time has come for him to be more alive, not less so.

So, what do I mean when I describe myself as, “a demon with a lust for the succulent taste of the male soul?”

It means that I am not the woman you were taught to want. I am a woman preternaturally aware of her dark ancestry, her feral beginnings, her true amoral nature… I am a hungry woman… a woman you can do nothing about.

Like the beautifully hideous thing from which you cannot turn away… I simply AM. Lusciously young. Disturbingly ancient. Waiting…. unavoidable… just ahead of you on the path to yourself.

The Mistresses of Cock Control, Vox Erotic, Sissy School, and Femphone are now offering a member’s only audio site featuring premium explicit audios.

Visit Mistress Always Wins.  You wanna be part of the club, don’t you?

As many of you might already know, Ms Ava and I are teaming up to offer you another hosted chat.

Every Friday at 11PM EST, we will be lying in wait for you in the shadowy realm of the main chat room. Enter at your own risk.

You might want to bring your flashlight so you’ll be able to find your way around. You might need your fleshlight, too… but if have to explain what you’ll need that for… well then, you don’t belong in that room.

Truth or Dare with Ms Ava and I is becoming a quite popular game, which is great! But it also means we end up with many people in the chat room, lots of confusion, and not enough time for everyone to play.

Because Ms Ava and I want all of you to get your chance to play Truth or Dare with us, we have devised a plan to help make the game run smoother for everyone.

If you really want to play Truth or Dare, you must now sign up at the beginning of the game. Your name must be put on the play list prior to 2:15PM. The list of players names will be created at the beginning of each game in the order in which we receive them. We will post the name list as part of the room message text so that everyone can see the order of play.

Not everyone in the room is required to play. We all like an audience, so you may choose to simply hang out and watch everyone else make fools of themselves!

Other rules to take note of in order to make the game fun for everyone:

NO name changing during the game!

NO private messages to Ms Ava or I during the game.

If you don’t like the truth question or dare we give you, you cannot ask for another one. If you don’t want to answer the question or take the dare we give you, you may pass and forfeit your turn for that week.

Be respectful of the other players. While commenting on other’s truths or dares is fine, answering for them, disrupting the game, or holding side conversations is not.

If you take a dare that requires photographic or other after-game proof and you DON’T complete it prior to the next game time, you may not take another dare again until Ms Ava or I permit you to (if ever!).

Join us in the Main Chat room at 2PM (eastern) every Thursday for Truth or Dare… if you dare! http://www.communitykink.com/

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!
