The Dame

I was doing a think this morning and I realised my bedroom/office was looking pretty so I took some pictures of it…

I am planning on finally visiting Paris for my birthday in February.  I didnt make it last year so I didnt get round to reading the books I got on Paris.  Now I will.  On top of the books is a Desert Rose Crystal.

Desert Rose: A gypsum. Lt. brown. Gently grounding; clarifies thinking and mental vision, perception. Quiets worry, brings out practicality. (Related to Selenite.) Quiets the mind. Used to access past/future lives, assists in bring material persuits related to business. Provides flexibility to one’s nature, strengthens decisions, align the spinal column and removes energy blockage. Stabilizes epileptic disorders.

For christmas my mom bought me this funny 2012 diary.  On the cover it says “sieze the afternoon” (Im hardly every up before 11am) and inside it has little quips like, “cleaned bathroom.  Will never let it get dirty again”.  Also, a rubber sleeve for my iPhone is essential because I have “spaz hands” – a nickname I got when I was a waitress once.  Before I broke all the crockery…  Seriously, its like my hands get bored while Im holding something!

My car key has it’s own chain and always gets laughs when I take it into the garage. Someone said it’s a guy’s keychain, but I’m owning it.

Diptyque’s Baies scent is my favourite and I always have one of their candles.  They are expensive but they last for ages.  I found this La Perla fragrance while asking for directions in their store in New York, it’s called J’aime.  Yes, those are red sequinned pasties, to remind me to do this custom fetish video for someone who has a thing for them…  The watch is by Guess and quiet large, I only ever wear it when Im leaving the house and often take it off because it sticks to my arm and that bugs me.

This is my favourite of the three Tretchikoff mugs I got for christmas from one of my fetish clients.  She is resting on my passport which is encased in a rad travel map cover and thats resting on my Paris “research” books.

This is my bedside table except its at the end of my bed because the way my room is shaped means my bed is wedged into an alcove of sorts where there is no space for the bedside table to go alongside the bed.  I got these speakers for christmas from another client of mine and they are constantly playing music.  He also sent me the Mason Pearson hairbrush which I love but think is grossly overpriced – glad I didnt pay for it!  I also have a collection of feathered earrings.  Bumble and Bumble’s Thickening Spray is awesome if you have fine hair like I do!

This is my dresser.  Im slowly collecting prints of my favourite artists but in the meantime, some of them exist as a print off from the internet.  The framed prints are by Rik Lee which you will know if you are a regular reader.  The smaller framed print with the skull rosary hanging on it is by Amy Duncan who is a tattoo artist in Melbourne, Australia.  To her right is a piece by famous pinup artist of the 1950′s, Alberto Vargas. This image is always striking to me whenever I see it and when the pound shop (dollar store to those across the pond) gets new black frames in, she will be framed.  I dont know who did the stilettos in the other picture, but I will probably have them tattooed one day.

The apple and the Russian Doll cats are from my mother.  She bought them on a cruise around Russia.  The apple has a Gustav Klimt picture on it, he is another artist I love. The card on the left I got at the Erotica exhibition in London last year.  It’s by a lady who does beautiful erotic wrapping paper and printed plates.  The bottle in the back was a bottle of cider and I just loved the pinup design!

These are my anti-depressants.  I am all for natural treatment of ailments and since I was on anti-depressants for two years and just become numb and emotionless, I recently came off them.  I do a lot of research into treating ourselves holistically and naturally. Zinc deficiency has been linked to depression in women.  So now I take 100mg a day with the 5HTP and feel a hundred times better!

I have been so out of touch with my natural creativity due to depression and the resulting medication.  I have now stocked up on coloured markers and crayons for drawing with! Next to my Macbook is my new A4 notebook which has become essential to me.  Atop of that is my iPad2 which was given to me last christmas.  It is covered in a GelaSkin print by Colin Thompson which is a very colourful image of a quirky bookshelf.  I mostly play Zynga games (I play Dream Zoo and Forestville because Ive finished Cityville which took me MONTHS.) and watch BBC programs (Escape To The Country) on it.

My room is small, so I had nowhere to put all my shoes, my then boyfriend bought this bookshelf for me from a thrift store and it now houses all my books and shoes.  I read all kinds of things.  Here you can see books by Dr Jonathan Wright who is a Nutritional Therapist and very very forward thinking when it comes to healing the body naturally.  I also got the Gerson Therapy book because people close to me have cancer and I wanted to know more about this cancer cure by diet program.  Those are fake Louboutins I found in a designer thrift store in Ipswich and Cats is my favourite musical theatre.  I still remember the first time I saw it and the feeling that I belonged on the stage.  I guess the internet has become my stage now  Im also into self sufficient living, feminism and food!

I think this picture is hilarious because of the juxtaposition of the philosophy book and the conga dancing skeleton…  That skeleton has a freaking skirt on with it’s hands on it’s hips and when you press the button the conga plays and it freaking dances.  It instantly puts me in a good mood.  I still havent read the Nietzsche book…

Every pair of shoes have a story dont they?  Those brown ones are YSL rip offs and they are so comfortable.  I once spent 3 straight hours dancing maniacally in a Breaks club in them and they handled perfectly.  The scarf is purple and grey with skulls on.  The leopard print peeptoes look amazing when my toes are painted red and are a favourite with my foot fetish customers.

These clear 5 inch heels are my favourite.  Especially when I am doing foot fetish webcam because they show off my feet while keeping them in a sexy arch.  I guess you can take the girl out of the strip club but you cant take the strip club out of the girl…  The red strappy fetish heels were a gift from a customer.

These red heels are my absolute favourite. Ive never worn these purple lace shoes I just like the way they look.  I totally need to dust my book/shoe shelf!

I recently bought ballet shoes.  Real ones.  For doing ballet in.  I found a local adult ballet class and I cant wait to start.  I did ballet up until I was 7yrs old, I was totally crap at it.  I could never remember the french names of movements beyond the plié and one teacher got mad at me because my back is always curved.  It’s not, I just have a really round ass!

More fetish heels that were gifts.  The ones in the foreground are impossible to walk in if you dont have flexible ankles but they are very very sexy looking.  The studded ones in the back are painful to wear but my customers love them.

Wedges are the way forward, seriously.  For some reason stiletto heels just dont support you enough.  Wedges can be worn longer.  I never wear these haha.  But then I live in a town where wearing heels is dressing up…  The booties in the back are so done.  I wore them while performing in a rock burlesque group I was in and the heels are shot.

My black boots collection.  At the back are suede wedge boots which I love wearing because they give my 5’6 frame height.  But the flat biker boots I wear All.The.Time. Comfortable and easy to slip on and run out the door.  Then come a pair of impossibly uncomfortable stiletto fetish boots made famous by Lady Gaga, I only ever wear them if a customer has a boot fetish.  The knackered boots in the front are my thigh high boots which I wore when I was a stripper because I was that badass rock-chick stripper in a tartan miniskirt and a mischievous scowl that spat in your drink while waving my ass in your face.

I could stare at this picture forever…
