I usually prefer that new clients have a "provider reference". Namely, that they can provide me with contact details for a domme or transsexual (the provider) that they have seen recently (during the past year or two), and some kind of biographical information that will help that provider remember them. I can then call or email the provider concerned and get a reference - whether the potential client is reliable and safe etc.

I am usually a reliable person. If I say I will do something, I will do it… Turn up on time… Remember birthdays… Whatever. But I notice that quite a high proportion of my clients are far from reliable…

I notice that quite a high proportion of my clients are interested in feminization or sissification. Which is actually quite nice, as I seem to find a “man in a dress” really rather hot!

There was apparently a reasonably large earthquake last night - a 5.7 at 8:47pm PDT near Greenville CA - see http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc71996906#summary.

Not being from around here, I am still, even after 13 years, not quite used to earthquakes. And in fact, I'm not always sure when I feel one and/or what to do.

I got back from DomCon LA a few days ago and wanted to to set down some thoughts... 

This was the 10 year anniversary of DomCon LA and it was a really huge event - perhaps 500 people or more. But it was the first time that I'd been, and actually the first time I'd heard of it. Which makes one wonder how a huge BDSM / kink event in LA can make it to 10 years, but people in the Bay Area haven't heard of it? O well... 

After a mini heat wave a week or so ago, we're having another one... and today it is nearly 85F in San Francisco. Yesterday was almost as hot, and last night it barely cooled down. Which meant some special challenges for a session with a new client up in the Oakland Hills...

We're having a heat wave! Well... as much as one ever gets a heat wave in San Francisco?! It must have been a sultry 75F in the Mission today! Not much of a heat wave even by Bay Area standards, and certainly not much of one by national standards, but sufficient to coat Dolores Beach with half-naked kewties... splayed out like starfish in the sun.
