Graydancer and I were chatting yesterday about the body corset tie I did (and pictured below). He was going to be performing with Foxy Veronica’s Peach Pies that night, and wanted to know how long it took me to get the tie done, how I finished the lacing off at the end, down by the feet.
Midori writes on her LJ:
“I just made friends with this really cool guy, Andrew McBeth. He’s the owner of Green Candy Publishing – which is a cool and eclectic publishing company that’s brought you many books, including kink ones like the Two Knotty Boys book.
He’s being crazy and is riding the “Friends 4 Life” ride from Toronto to Montreal for HIV fundraising.
Please consider supporting his crazy trip – sponsor him or just send him a note of support.

Pass it on!”
So, this is Me. Passing it on.
The wonderful Midori is coming to town for a while, and teaching classes for both Come As You Are and DevianToronto. Having taken a number of workshops with Midori before – particularly the one she’s giving for DevianToronto – I recommend attending them highly. She’s an amazingly engaging speaker. I got an email from her this morning asking me to do a bit of promotion for the classes, especially the one for DevianToronto. I personally got so much out of “Beyond Twisted”, so it’s a pleasure to try and get folks out to it. Click the links below for information, spread the word to any kinky folk you know, and feel free to email me back with any questions about my experiences with her classes.

Beyond Twisted: Kink Outside the Box
Ever feel boxed in by the definition and expectations of kinky sex? Find your self dissatisfied with scenes or frustrated at not having your desire accepted? Want to figure out how to create a multi person scene and with everyone happy? You’re not alone! Ever notice the expectation that sadist must of course be a dominant and a submissive must of course be a masochist? Is this right? Wrong! Come along as Midori explodes the standard definitions of kink roles and expands the idea of what kink is all about. In “Beyond Twisted,” she maps out a fine-tuned and flexible framework that anyone can use to help describe their deviant desires. And as we all know, that’s the first step to fulfilling them!
This is a class for those who don’t quite fit into the standard boxes… and for anyone who’s curious about their own possibly untapped potential!

Her Come As You Are classes are from Sunday to Wednesday. I’ve listed them below:
- Sunday, June 22, 5:30pm: How to Eat a Peach (I am considering going to this one myself…)
- Monday, June 23, 7:30pm: Hands-On Rope Bondage (I’ve done this particular workshop and if you’re interested in rope at all – and why wouldn’t you be? – it’s a great way to get into it. I tied up my current primary partner for the FIRST time ever at this workshop!)
- Tuesday, June 24, 7:30pm: Joystick Secrets (I’m not going to this one, but I know someone who is and that in and of itself is pretty exciting to me. Can’t wait to see what she takes home from it. Midori, thank you in advance…)
- Wednesday, June 25, 7:30pm: Improve Your Flogging Skills (I’m also thinking of attending this one. I’ve never actually worked on my flogging skills, and figure why not? Plus, what else fun happens on a Wednesday?)
