DomCon! 04/30/2010
 
Who will be there? Ladies? Guys? This is what my schedule looks like so far so if we have only known each other online or via telephone stop by and say hi if you see me. 


For those of you who are asking, I will be accepting session requests that weekend.


Wednesday: 5:00 - 6:00 pm teaching my "Blood Cupping" workshop 
Thursday evening: Attending the Mistress Dinner then following Meet and Greet
Friday: I will be socializing with the other lovely members of Servitus in the booth that Goddess Soma has arranged, attending workshops and accepting sessions.
Saturday: I will be available during the day and considering attending the after play party.
Sunday I will not be available.


So, who else should I expect to see there?

I'm home! 04/28/2010
 
After finding myself on a plane for seven hours surrounded by nine screaming infants, I have come to the conclusion that having a layover wouldn't have been a bad thing. Oh well, it was a lesson well learned.

I am home and happily reconnecting with the world's cutest puppy while I get the remainder of my week lined up. How has everyone else been? Have you missed me?

For those of you who will be in Los Angeles for DomCon this month, not only will I be coming out of hiding, I will also be one of the presenters for the Industry-Only workshops. So, if you find yourselves lucky enough to be able to attend the Industry-Only gatherings and enjoy blood-play, you might enjoy sitting in on my "Blood Cupping" workshop Wednesday May 12th from 5:00 - 6:00 pm. If you have never experienced this type of play before it’s a sight to be seen, just be sure to bring your smelling salts if the sight of blood makes you feel feint!

In other news, I will be in town during May, give or take a weekend here or there. So those of you who have messaged me about missing me while I’m away will finally have a reprieve. Of course, if I don't hear from you now that I’m back, I’ll just need to find some other lovely adventure to go on.... Chicago? New York? Hmmmm.... ;)

Speaking of travel, my time in FL was wonderful! Not only was the weather gorgeous, I absolutely fell in love with the storm that came through during one of my days there; simple phenomenal! I can’t wait to go back and will need to think of an excuse to make it out there again soon. I wonder what kind of kinky/foodie roadtrip I can work out across the lower states? What do you think? Meet a different client in each city? Do a session and be treated to a fantastic dinner date in each town? Oh yes, I would ADORE that. Any volunteers?

As for this trip, I couldn't have stayed with sweeter people if I had tried. Witty, wonderful, kinky and lovely. This trip for me was a smashing success and I like to think I made at least three new friends in the process. The conference itself was filled with delightful men and women stunning leather and I was blessed by meeting, and reconnecting with, amazing souls.

Truly, I adore my life and whenever I think it may have reached it’s pinnacle, it surprises me by getting even better by leaps and bounds.

Until we speak next, stay kinky, stay safe and keep having fun!

I had an amazing time in San Francisco. Details of my adventures will come in a longer blog in the next couple weeks, but needless to say, I arrived home happily satiated in my blood lust and quickly gathered my things to board a plane bound for Ft. Lauderdale where I am currently writing this  update from.


The weather is gorgeous, and I am staying with a delightfully kinky couple... always a perk. 


In the next couple hours I will be gathering my toy bag and leathers and heading to the conference hotel to begin my second weekend of adventuring and getting to know the FL community. 


Thus far, FL is a beautiful place and the climate certainly seems to suit me quite well. 


Until we speak next, 
Mistress Shae Flanigan



 
So lovely.... 04/12/2010
 
In the Bay Area! I'm staying in a gorgeous flat and loving the views around the city. Since my schedule freed up this evening I'm looking forward to spending a delightful foodie evening with friends. 

Then tomorrow I have a day of sessions and leather fittings!

Take care everyone,
Mistress Shae Flanigan

 
Flaking... 04/10/2010
 
Question to the Ladies:  
Have you noticed a rise in the number of clients needing to cancel or flat out flaking on sessions in the last week or so? For the Ladies who travel have you noticed an area that is more prone to this behavior than others?  

Question for the guys:  
Rescheduling for emergencies or sickness I get. Rescheduling for family issues, I also completely understand. According to many of you, I am amazingly understanding on this front. However, those of you who flat out "no-call" "no-show", WTF? Seriously, it's a question. What in the bloody hell is going through your mind to be that incredibly thoughtless of someone else's time?  

Since I am usually booked solid most days, when you pull no-shows you have literally cost me time with clients I would very much like to see. So in affect you have not only been thoughtless with my time, but my client's time as well. 

So, effective immediately, any no-call, no-show clients are immediately added to my blacklist. Period.  

If you need to reschedule your appointment that's fine, but if you can't muster the courtesy to make a phone call, send an email or text then you are not worthy of my time or energy.

It was everything I could have hoped for. I was pampered and spoiled and treated like a queen...


Now I'm off to interview someone who hopes to be my new personal, we shall see. 


SF boys, because of your flakiness, ALL of my travel appointments will now be required to put down 1/2 their session tribute as deposit before I accept their appointments. 


If anyone has an issue with my new policy, you now know who to thank.


Take care and I look forward to seeing you all soon,
Mistress Shae Flanigan
 
 
This week is filled with a flurry of activity with clients wanting to see me before I leave for San Francisco on Sunday and other wanting to sneak in time with me before my birthday this Wednesday. So many bottoms to redden, so little time! :)

It’s been a bit over a months since my return to the Professional realm and I must say, it feels amazing to be back. Finally, I feel completely like myself again. My regulars have returned and so many delightful new clients have come to say hello and decided to stay. Every day my life and business gets better and better! I truly am a Domina without a complaint in the world.

SF boys, this is your time to confirm your appointments. I do not have patience for flakes so if you haven’t confirmed prior to my departure on Sunday morning your time will be open for grabs. Clear? Good.

Those scheduling appointments in the SF area after I have already left the LA area... Please note that I will have many whips, floggers, paddles, needles and scalpels with me as well as an extensive leather wardrobe collection, however, other wardrobe requests and any specific implement needs, MUST be made prior to my leaving the LA area. If I do not have your object of desire with me in SF, you are always welcome to bring your item or items of desire with you to your session...

Take care and I look forward to seeing everyone soon,
Mistress Shae Flanigan


P.S.
Don’t forget to wish me a Happy Birthday when you see me next!
