My submissive Nomicon has been blogging about DomCon in LA and his experiences there. And one of his posts about forms of address and behavior made me think...

In business there is a maxim that good leaders know when to delegate – and I think there is some truth in that. And then I saw a tweet recently that said “Those who can, do. Those who can have someone else do it for them, Domme” – which certainly rang true for me.

I almost always enjoy doing co-Domme sessions – also known as double sessions - where I and another Domme cooperate in dominating a submissive / slave. As I mentioned in an earlier blog a little over a year ago, the success of such sessions can be very dependent on the particular slave and the other Domme – and hopefully a good chemistry between all three of us.

It’s that time of year again - time for my annual pilgrimage to DomCon in LA from May 14th to 17th – where I am a Special Guest. I have a busy schedule but I am available for session bookings. 

A couple of weeks ago I blogged that I had a "killer cold" and that I had to go as far as rescheduling sessions - which I have never done before. And some of my regulars were nice enough to enquire after me - and wish me a speedy recovery.

Well... I am recovered.

I was on a road trip over Spring Break, and while that went rather well, when I got back, I got a cold.

A few months back (in October?) I blogged about “branding” submissives - where I write ownership messages on their bums (butts for you Americans). In quite a few cases I have to do some shaving first. Some submissives have such hairy bums that it can be hard to see what I am writing? And then I write messages in sharpie on their butts – “Ms Emilie’s Bitch” or “Ms Emilie’s Slut” or “Ms Emilie’s Sissy”.

I haven’t started on my taxes yet this year – although it is almost to the top of my list. I should get to it any day this week?! But I have started on my Tax Special earlier this year than last.

Some proportion of people I see might only see me once or twice. Perhaps they are struggling with who they are or what seeing me means, or perhaps seeing me is just a “bucket list” item. Which is all fine. 

But I do like my regulars. Slaves / submissives who see me every month or two or three.

Tonight is New Year’s Eve – and I have a cold – and I am staying in. But that’s fine. I have been to some epic New Year’s events in the past, but am now somewhat bored with the whole thing. The events are so expensive and busy – and everybody is so excited and drunk – that the mood is frantic and unsatisfactory. Hardly quality time. And then getting to the event and back is crazy. I know this sounds jaded in the extreme but I was probably going to stay in anyway. And the sudden appearance of a cold (which might only be a 24 hour thing?) made up my mind for me.

But in any event, my New Year started early...
