Let’s address the issue again: Walking in NYC

dievca was carrying three boxes (11 lbs each) to UPS.  she had a backpack, a bag hanging off her shoulder and a large box in front of her body. A family of tourists just stood in the middle of the sidewalk – no clue, not moving.

dievca ran into the same family on the way home, they were walking spread out. They took up the whole sidewalk. Absolutely no clue spatially. Annoying~

———————————————————————————————–

Reblog:

OMG!  You are coming to NYC — dievca is so very excited for your visit….until you walk on her sidewalk.  Look, she’s in Midtown — can you avoid that section until your learn the rules of the road sidewalk, so to speak?

jeff-greenspan-tourist-lines

Here are 11 suggestions for walking effectively in New York City, follow them religiously and you will have a fabulous time!

Don’t walk 4+ people abreast…do it two-by-two.

Yes – those sidewalks look wide, but few of them are wide enough for more than four people abreast. That means when your family/friends walk shoulder-to-shoulder en masse to Times Square, while looking up, you cause the other pedestrians walking toward you to be forced to either step into the street or press themselves against the nearest building. Or they will just plow through you (dievca’s choice). Keep to your half of the sidewalk, no matter how many are in your group—unless the sidewalk is empty. And in that case…ask yourself why the sidewalk is empty.

Don’t stop short.

NYC sidewalks are packed, there is an ebb and flow. New York pedestrians walk super close to one another, including the people directly ahead of them. Sometimes they even match strides so they can get as near to the person ahead without actually stepping on his or her heels. So don’t come to a sudden halt when you realize you are going the wrong way or you want to stop to see something.  You will risk being smashed from behind. Instead, slow down and move gradually to the curb or towards the buildings, allowing other walkers to flow around you.

Understand the need for speed.

You are on Holiday. Wonderful – we get it.  We are not on Holiday and we need to get somewhere – NOW!  Einstein measured space and time in terms of a four-dimensional continuum. In Manhattan, we measure time and distance in terms of city blocks. We know that we can walk one north-south block per minute and one east-west block in 3 minutes. That means we can get to our next appointment in exactly 10 minutes if we’re 10 blocks away. But we can’t do that if you are looking up, sashaying, daydreaming, or trying to text your BFF about the play you saw last night. Pick up the pace, people!

Texting and Google Maps.

DON’T DO IT WHILE WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK!  Put your back against a building wall, face out and finish your business – then continue on your way. You are clueless and dangerous while texting, playing Pokémon or looking at a map – admit it.

Hanging out at the Corner.

The street corners of New York have a lot going on; lots of people coming and going, attempting to cross the avenue in four different directions, all at once, often in a hurry to beat the coming red light. Might not be a good place for you to stand and look up at buildings or for you to spread out your map, to check your texts, or to have a debate about the restaurant you’ll choose tonight. Butt, against the building – ok?

Don’t be wrong about the right of way.

Right of Way does exist, sort of~.  Even New Yorkers sometimes screw this one up. Here’s the idea: You don’t walk into me, I won’t walk into you.  That’s as opposed to, “You were in my way so I crashed into you.” Doesn’t work like that. If we all did nothing but get out-of-the-way of other people, there would be pedestrian paralysis. We’d never make it to our respective destinations. Walkers in NYC realize that as long as you don’t bump into another person, even if they “cut you off,” the World will be a better place and we’ll all get to where we’re going. Eventually.

Follow the rule of right.

Sorry Brits — we know that we mess this up in London…I’ve seen the look left notices. I know that NYC seems like a different country, but it is still America, right? Americans drive on the right. We walk on the right. If you want to avoid the Sidewalk Tango or Crosswalk Can-Can with an oncoming stranger, JUST GO RIGHT.

It applies to escalators, too.

You walk enough in New York, you will sooner or later end up on an escalator. In Grand Central Terminal. In Rockefeller Center. In the 7 line, Hudson Yards subway station. In Macy’s. The “rule of right” applies here too. Stand to the right so that those in a hurry can walk on the left side. And if you hear someone behind you shout, “Stand to the right, please,” they probably mean you. People are trying to get places.

Selfies are selfish…

We know that you are so excited you are hanging in the Big City. We know that if you don’t capture it on your phone, it didn’t happen. But when you are stopping to take a picture of yourself—or if someone else is taking a picture of you for your Blog—get the heck out of the foot traffic flow. And that Selfie Stick? Do you know how dangerous it can be when someone grabs it?  Look, by getting out of the flow of traffic, you’ll have more time to get a good picture, and you’re less like to have a bunch of locals giving you the one-finger salute or an elbow bump/body check.

Be ready to see people to cross on a red light.

In New York, we are on a timeline.  So, we take “don’t-walk” signals as a suggestion. We also know our commute well and can time lights, perfectly.  You can’t. It’s not your territory – you should follow the pedestrian lights. In fact, you should never walk anywhere in New York that’s not set-up for walkers. Just know that there are people on foot behind you, ready to cross, who are much more experienced at this than you are. Don’t stake your place 4 abreast at the corner, let them pass and watch artists at work!

Asking for help – do it!

You can ask New Yorkers for directions or help.  Just don’t expect them to listen to your story.  Be clear and concise with your question, then listen closely because it will be a short direct answer.  You are disturbing their timed walk and they just want to get going.  Most New York walkers will help, but don’t expect them to give you extra special attention. Unlike you, they are NOT on Holiday.

dievca hopes this helps you to fold into NYC Life seamlessly.

By the way, in 2010 ImprovEverywhere did a presentation called “The Tourist Lane”. It was quite funny:

For our latest mission, we created separate walking lanes for tourists and New Yorkers on a Fifth Avenue sidewalk. Department of Transportation “employees” were on hand to enforce the new rules and ask pedestrians for their feedback on the initiative. Enjoy the video first and then go behind-the-scenes with the photos and report below.

Halloween was a nice quiet evening for Master and His dievca.  Wine and conversation, re-arrange the living furniture to adjust the location of the recently cleaned area rug, play, dinner, aftercare.


la fille d’O – Belgian Lingerie – Hey!

Image

when meeting, one doesn’t give away their secrets straight away. it takes time. HEY has some secrets. a wide opaque waistband. a very sheer Italian tulle covering your hips. the cotton lining is integrated in the triangular seam. this could be a very distinguished design. turn around and find out it is indeed. one could easily lose their style when exposing their skin. not HEY. perfectly dosed, like prescription drugs, HEY transforms the mood without losing the comfort.

About the Brand, la fille d’O 

Remember – shipping to the USA from elsewhere is now going to included high tariffs if its not made in the USA.  But, sometimes you just need a raw European feel. Or you need to travel for lingerie.

Simple, Clean, Elegant, Practical = BDSM

dievca has very good luck with swimwear from Tory Burch.  The suits have fit well and worn well.  They look good and are interesting.  dievca’s current Tory Burch suit is the “Clip Tank Swimsuit” It’s her second version. she wore the first clip swimsuit to the woof, because she felt so good in it.

Plus the clips at the shoulders work and helped with frozen shoulder issues.

A second, more delightful, feature of the clips is they remind dievca of Master’s cuffs and their D/s relationship.

A subtle way to show your BDSM leanings~

What a beautiful presentation of a vulva!


Aiming for less – any suggestions?

Yesterday, dievca shared four pairs of sandals she was interested in buying to replace an old favorite pair. 

$800-$1800 is out of her price range and as she Googled: “grommet sandals”, “eyelet sandals”, “studded sandals”, “hardware sandals” –  those high-end choices kept drawing her eye + additional choices from Valentino and Prada.

No can do~ too much $.

So, here’s the affordable tier of sandals ($70-$425) with hardware:

Thoughts?


Tough Sell

These are dievca’s Etienne Aigner Dana Studded Sandals – they are at the finish line of Life. It’s been 20+ years of excellent service.  Replacing them is going to be tough~

Here’s some of the candidates (click on the photos for detail and brand):

All with tough hardware and all out of dievca’s price range – a TOUGH sell!

ROTFLMAO – Iroha Midori vibrator

Image

Master and His dievca have been re-visiting their collection of vibrators.  The Iroha Midori was charged and brought back into service.  Master pulled his dievca to the edge of the bed on her back with her legs up.  He placed the vibrator flat between their bodies — it was amazing to share the flat vibration on both clit and cock. Hah! a move to keep in rotation.

So, the Midori made a 2nd appearance. Anticipation was great, but the angle of Master and dievca’s bodies wasn’t quite right.  Midori, our green friend, fell onto the wood floor and bounced under the bed.  She was still vibrating and moving because of the motor.  Master got onto his knees to reach under the bed and grab Midori — the d*mn vibrator kept moving around.  So, dievca watched Master’s ass dance in the air while he was chasing the vibrator with his long arm. she could hear the vibrator moving around under the bed. Finally, a howling dievca had to army crawl under the bed to grab the hopping vibrator and got a bit stuck because her left arm doesn’t work quite well. Master had to pull dievca out by her leg.

Master and His dievca agree that if you are not willing to be messy or laugh during sex – you’re not doing it right! 😘


Master is home~

Imagedievca had a little procedure done (biopsy) 2 days before she caught up with Master.  It was still still healing, so “fun with Master” was all external 😉

After play, Master and His dievca took a moment to talk about their journey together as Dom and sub — what is powerful, what feels good or bad, what scenes they would like to revisit and what new adventures might be in the mix.

All is clear with dievca’s tissue sample and all is healed.

So Master asked for a classic to be worn tomorrow:


I am!

Paola

Introducing our limited edition Paola collection, designed to celebrate the season of love + beyond…

Meticulously crafted in our Wales atelier, Paola showcases intricate corded embroidery in a rich maroon hue, framed by delicate eyelash scalloped edges + our signature noir strapping.


EDGE O’ BEYOND IS A LONDON-BASED LUXURY BRAND THAT CREATES UNIQUE LINGERIE WITH DELICATE JEWELLERY ATTACHMENTS TO HELP YOU SHINE…

Our motto is “it’s what’s underneath that counts” + I feel passionately that nobody should settle for mediocre underpinnings.  

Up until now, when asked why I created a lingerie brand, I’ve always said it’s because I adore beautiful lingerie—but there’s more to it than that. After suffering multiple sexual assaults, I sought to reclaim the power of my own body + I wanted to create something that would extend that empowerment to others, helping them feel their most confident + beautiful  selves.

The brand has always been super personal to me—I named it after my childhood home, each range is named after a loved family member, friend or colleague + one of my favourite things about EOB is our customers—getting to see our pieces on you, seeing how EOB makes you feel, getting the opportunity to chat with you + sometimes even meet you is incredible!

EOB is a brand designed by women, created by women, to empower women. I am incredibly proud of the EOB Team + the journey we’ve been on since 2014, + I’m excited for the future. I love the EOB lingerie community + I’m looking forward to many more years of EOB to come. Thank you for being part of this journey with  us.

Taking the Flying Leap and a Thank You~

Image

dievca has to take the “flying leap”, again.  she’s used 96% of her storage.

she needs to upgrade. 

Honestly, her storage use has had quite good longevity for a blog that started with

this post in September, 2013:

Something handsome for Master…..or Mistress

Something for Master.

At $20,000, this gorgeous Coach-Billy Reid Warrior Tote in Alligator will hold Master’s tools of the trade. Can you see your Mistress pulling out a black silk blindfold, ball gag and shearling bondage restraints?
dievca cannot wait.


In the past 12 years, dievca has weathered:

  • people moving from blogs to Instagram
  • currently TikTok
  • an upgrade that decimated 2/3 of her followers
  • people closing down their blogs or just disappearing
  • COVID
  • diminishment of time available to use the Reader – dievca knows she is missing GREAT blogs
  • the general public’s loss of interest in BDSM – understandable
  • personal loss – that’s Life!
  • personal change in shopping needs and goals
  • physical changes and injuries
  • aging

So, let’s ask the question Master has asked his dievca a number of times over the years,

“Do you want to keep the blog going?”

dievca’s answer at this moment?

“Yes”

The blog has always been for dievca and if people are on her ride, amazing! – that’s secondary.

So, she will be taking the LEAP a second time and will attempt another upgrade.  If anyone is reading this, Thank You, for joining dievca’s ride and hopefully she will see you on the other side.

Sending love and good wishes. XO

your dievča


Missing Master

dievca is a bit tired. Granted she got away for a quick weekend jaunt – but Master has been traveling for the past four weeks to Europe and will continue to be gone for another two weeks at the minimum.  E-mails and missed attempts to call don’t work really well when you could use a little touch.

Happiness on the bottom (coffee or BDSM)

Image

and for a little bit of clarification in BDSM terms of bottom:

The main difference between a submissive and a bottom is that a submissive cedes power in a power exchange dynamic. A bottom may or may not be a submissive, as power exchange does not have to be a component of their kinky play.

That said, Bottom can mean either a submissive partner in sexual play, or a partner who receives stimulation from another who may or may not be submissive.

bottom in BDSM does not have to be the submissive; for example, a female dominant may command her bottom to penetrate her.


Desire conquers age~

Master said He wanted to restrain His submissive.  So, His sub dressed for Her Master in His favorite: stockings and collar, then added a chemise which would stretch for any position.

3 separate play times and multiple orgasms belied Master and His dievca’s ages.

A fine time was had by all.

Chefs, Tattoo Artists, Sommeliers, Bartenders – BDSM Aprons

Image
Eskandur Leather BDSM Apron $4186 sale $2512 Wolf Badger

What is an Apron used for?

Aprons have been an essential garment for centuries, serving as a practical shield against stains, spills, and splatters. From humble beginnings as a simple protective layer, aprons have evolved into a fashion statement, a canvas for creativity, and a symbol of one’s passion and expertise. Eskandur embraces this evolution, transforming aprons into extraordinary works of art that fuse functionality with aesthetic allure.

Who are the users?

Chefs, Tattoo Artists, Sommeliers, Bartenders, Waiter/Waitress, Sir/Madame

Image

Why Leather?

Sustainability is a key consideration in today’s fashion landscape. When it comes to aprons, leather emerges as a sustainable choice compared to its cotton counterparts. Leather is a durable material that stands the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This longevity not only minimizes waste but also lowers the environmental impact associated with mass production and disposal of cotton aprons. Eskandur’s decision to prioritize meticulous stitching and layered construction is a deliberate choice to maintain the integrity and longevity of our leather goods. It is a testament to Eskandur’s philosophy of true luxury, where quality and craftsmanship reign supreme. While shortcuts may yield short-term gains for others, painting the edges, no matter if it will deteriorate eventually revealing unsightly radial cracks, Eskandur remains resolute in the pursuit of excellence. By opting for a high-quality leather apron like those crafted by Eskandur, you contribute to a more sustainable fashion ecosystem while enjoying the enduring elegance and functionality that leather offers.

the tie that binds: bondage bangle

Boochier Gold Tie Bangle

that links people together
The expression ‘the tie that binds’ is used to describe a common idea or belief that links people together. It can also be used plurally as ‘the ties that bind’. For example, you may say: ”We are family, held together by the ties that bind. Nothing will tear us apart.

Presenting Bluette with Maria La Rosa

Maria La Rosa Metallic Laminated Socks bluette

dievca finally opened her Christmas gifts.  she received a lovely item from a close friend. 

Silk socks from Milan, Italy

Maria La Rosa foil laminated silk socks.

Ideal for all seasons. Despite its thinness, the silk yarn is extraordinarily insulating, making it very cool in summer and warm in winter. The socks are dipped in a metallic foil, which, after multiple washes, tends to fade, allowing the brilliance of the underlying silk to emerge. The shine of the foil makes it the perfect accessory for parties and occasions where you don’t want to go unnoticed. 

Hand wash inside out to maintain the laminated look for longer.

One Size.

Might be fun to present just wearing the socks with Vivienne Westwood, Moschino or John Paul Gautier heels and one of Master’s collars!
