2. ADVENTURE REPORT

Last I wrote to you, I was heading off to the Caribbean.
Oh, I had such a wonderful time! I really enjoyed being part of the crew of a 46' sailboat on the bright blue waves of the British Virgin Islands.
Peggy aka O was the fearless and often wise cracking captain. (Top above the deck! Below deck was a whole other story. *g* )
Lolita was first mate (of course!)
I scurried about the deck handling the ropes. (Surprise, surprise.)
Peggy's parents, Al and Earl were part of the crew too.
Each day we sailed to a new port. We enjoyed snorkeling, kayaking, eating really delicious foods (huge lobsters!) and 4 scuba dive expeditions.
One was the 19th century wreck of the steamer ship The Rhone, where the movie, The Deep, was filmed. Utterly amazing.
Each night we anchored at a new port where I had some of the deepest and most restful sleep I've had in a long time.
I even worked on the next chapter for my new book.
My birthday was during the trip, so the whole crew surprised me with a birthday cake delivered to the boat.
Peggy and Lolita gave me my birthday spanking too. On a boat, there were no place to hide or pawn off the spankings to!
The great outdoors, new adventures, physical activities, dear friends who are leather folks and quality conversations; an unbeatable combination for a vacation!
After my vacation I had three days at home, during which time I had to try to excavate my desk, do all the normal home stuff, swap out clothes, etc. What a whirlwind! I even had a guest appearance on PlayBoy Radio on XM radio. That was an experience. They're definitely not shy.

Then I packed my bags for three weeks on the road and headed to Toronto.
Toronto is absolutely a fantastic city. If you've not been there for the fetish scene, don't miss it! It's beautiful and the people are just the nicest.
I had the pleasure of presenting an entire afternoon of rope bondage workshop to AIDS Committee of Toronto as part of their fundraiser. Great organization. http://www.actoronto.org/

The suspension rope bondage class for the 301 group was fun and lively.
I returned to my favorite erotic shop there, Come As You Are, where it's always a nice intimate place to teach, learn and buy your sex toys. (I know have 3 different types of Hello Kitty Vibrators!)
I had the pleasure of having my friend Jason as my trusted sidekick, which I always enjoy. We shopped true to our fetishist's heart.
North Bound Leather was a required stop for me. I picked up a sexy new leather blouse for myself there. They are some of the finest leather tailors around. I simply covet their sexy leatherwear.
These guys host really hot fetish parties, so maybe I'll see you up there.
Jason and I also did our ritual shopping for Barbies. We both love and collect Barbies.
We also attended a local SM play party. It was hosted at one of THE finest dungeon playhouse I've ever had the pleasure to visit, and that's quite a few.

After a sleepless night of preparing for my next leg of the trip, I headed off to NYC for days of kinky action at the NYC Fetish Marathon.
Two weeks in town and I hardly had a chance to breathe. I just love NYC! It's like a second home for me. (Yeah, I want to win the lottery and get a cute little love-shack personal dungeon in town. Oh, well, since I never play the lottery, I guess I'll just have to dream on.)
I was really nervous and excited about my new presentation to the Museum of Sex as part of their Icon series.
My presentation was titled "Whips & Stiletto, Goddesses & She-Devils: Icons of the Sexually Dominant Woman" in which I outlined the development of the style and symbols of the Femme Domme as we've come to know it.
The Museum of Sex was quite impressive. I have to confess I was prepared to be disappointed. It's so easy to make something like that that's either cheesy and sensational or overly intellectual and dry as dust. It was neither. It was historically responsible, solidly researched, well presented and saucy to just the right level. It's a NYC must see!
Thanks to Abby Ehman and Ellen for inviting me to present!

Most of the week I was going nuts preparing my Matrix inspired bondage performance at the S*M*ack party.
Chris Flam, perv party promoter extraordiannaire, connected me with the most fab crew and performers for me.
Delano, Gecko, Jeneye rocked the night for me! The Torture Garden crew came in a did a really really really naughty show. Photos from all the action at the party will be up soon at http://www.SMack-Fetish.com

If you come to NYC between now and June 20th, don't miss the erotic photo exhibition at Purple Passion showing the works by Michele Serchuk and Adriana Skura. Michele's show features our collaboration over the past several years, most of which are previously unreleased photos. The show opening party was really cool! We were quite surprised by some of the celeb appearances.

The whole TES weekend was a fun filled blue. I got to test out a new sub V. He's good. I think I'll keep him around.
I was hanging out with my leather sorority sisters from PhiDivaKappa and HB most of the weekend. V managed to keep up with us and our demands, which is no easy feat. (or feet)
HB and I tried to make it to the women's play party, Kink, but we were too late. Simply too much to do!
Speaking of too much to do, I missed seeing Matthew Barney's exhibition at the Guggenheim. I'm very bummed about that. I know of his brilliant gender challenging art and wanted to see it for myself. Man, I wonder if I can make it back before the show ends on June 11th.
If you tune into Naked NY on Metro TV in the next few weeks, you just might see me playing sexy dress up with the blond co-host of the show at Purple Passion.
Somewhere in there I managed to present a safer sex and SM lecture to the NY Society for the Deaf, have dinner with Karen Taylor and Laura Antoniou at a fabulous Asian restaurant near their secluded Long Island D/s estate. Walked around NYC, ate yummy greasy pizza. Tied up a cute girl and made her cry in a good way. * g * Teased some boys and hung out with my evil sorority sisters.
(by the way, the NY FAO Schwarz does not have a good Barbie section. It was heart breaking.)
Ok , that's all for now. I have to get going as I must prepare for my trip to Philly. I get to see another PhiDivaKappa there. Bubbles, my beloved ApprentaDiva!

Ta!

Midori

p.s. as I'm trying to finish writing this, I'm watching Michele Serchuck sensuouly and cruelly take down Delano just a couple of feet from me. They don't make it easy for me to concentrate... they're really sexy and the moans are positively, um, distracting.
