Party training, Slave auction and Gabe Watson is back

An eternity collar prototype

Training for Adolph’s party: The St Lucy’s girls who will be posing as Submissives, wearing eternity collars, vaginal hooks and pointe-shoes, have been concentrating on pointe and vaginal stamina for the last several weeks. At the last minute Adolph said the girls may be asked for dive-sex which was supposed to be off the table. All the girls agreed because being at the party has become a huge boost in status for them and they have had dive-sex training, but wearing an eternity collar might change a woman’s buoyancy and any weights on her FFM could need adjusting so we have been scrambling today to have all the girls including the two back-up girls, take test dives in an encounter pool to see if there were any buoyancy issues that needed resolving. It turned out that as far as the divemaster and I could tell everyone is good to dive wearing her infinity collar, but not with any significant size or amount of chain attached. So now all the girls SCUBA gear is packed. Adolph has promised to have a net stretched across The Well, as his training facility is called, at the 30 foot level so that no guest can go deeper which is a good safety measure and should prevent a diver in trouble from sinking to the bottom at 216 feet. Of course some bloody minded guest could get around and below the net if he wanted to. Adolph is furnishing all the tanks. I was really hoping that The Well would be locked and unused during he party. The best I can hope for now is that it will be hardly used at all, but even then it still means the entire training facility has to be staffed.

The Ballet training table: All the students taking ballet at St Lucy’s eat at the ballet training table. That’s because the intense workouts involved with ballet training require a proper diet to provide maximum strength, stamina and minimize the likelihood of leg cramps. And of course for the girls who will be ballet Submissives and en pointe for extended intervals on Valentines Day night a diet rich in electrolytes; calcium, magnesium, potassium or sodium is imperative since an imbalance in one or more electrolytes can contribute to leg cramps. Dehydration can also cause leg cramps so citrus juices are served at the table and everyone carries her own personal bottle of water.

As hard as I’ve pushed the girls in the past several weeks cramps have been a rarity and everyone’s feet are in amazing condition given the length of time I’ve had them en pointe. Calluses and nails are well trimmed and pads have been selected so that their almost used to being dropped on their toes when a lover thrusts lifts them off their platforms only to be dropping on their toes when he withdraws and this is repeated until he comes and is finished with her, until next time.

Kinky sex: The girls are all experienced in cunilingus and fellatio, but how they will take anal penetration, fisting, cervical battering and breathplay is uncertain although they have been exposed to those kinks in my AST course and seemed to cope well. Everyone of the women include me and Abi - Adolph’s hostess for the evening - will take 800 mg of ibuprofen an hour before the party so we will all be available for rough sex if a guest wants any one of us.

Although it’s against my nature I’m wearing a leather dog collar from Hermes (in their signature orange) and the requisite FemCap and pussy hook, Gaynor-Minden pointes and leash with which I can be led around and going as collared to Adolph for the evening, which will allow me free access to his entire complex so I can keep an eye on the students. The leather in my French collar does smell wonderful and it looks gorgeous around my long slim neck, but I’m just not the sort of girl to be content in a collared relationship.

The Slave Auction: At the beginning of the evening Adolph intends to auction off the Submissives to his guests in a ‘Slave Auction’, the proceeds from which will be donated to a local charity. It’s not clear if the full-figured escorts or the St Lucy’s students will be in greater demand, but after the initial auction once we have all been purchased guests can exchange ‘slaves’ between themselves as often as they like during the evening so a guest could take advantage of the delights of both body types, for an additional ‘exchange’ fee to the slave master’s charity. Adolph says it’s just going to be good fun, but I’ve been to his parties before and some professionals have been torn or unable to walk afterward. He assures me that won’t happen to the 18 y/os in pointe-shoes, but a man in an alcoholic rage can’t be reasoned with, so we shall see. I’m planning on drinking nothing stronger than diet coke so I will have a clear head if I have to fight.

Murder on the Great Barrier Reef: Finally, what goes around comes around. Gabe Watson goes on trial in Alabama for killing his bride during a SCUBA dive by shutting of her air while diving on Australia's Great Barrier Reef during their honeymoon Read more here.

Tina Watson – again

Questions linger in honeymoon death of Ala. woman

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Married for 11 days, Gabe and Tina Watson strapped on their scuba dive equipment for a chance to explore a 100-year-old shipwreck in the natural underwater wonder that is Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

The Alabama couple splashed into the water on their 2003 honeymoon halfway around the world, and the dive soon turned horrific — 26-year-old Tina Watson's lifeless body began drifting toward the ocean floor. Was it a tragic accident, as her husband claimed? Or did Gabe Watson deliberately disconnect her air supply, then hold her in a bear hug, drowning his new wife, as Alabama authorities contend?

Gabe Watson, dubbed the "Honeymoon Killer" by Australian media, pleaded guilty to manslaughter there for not doing enough to save his wife. Now, the case is back in the United States. Alabama prosecutors believe his 18-month prison stint was too lenient, and they think they can get a murder conviction on home soil.

The case is ripe with international legal issues, but legal experts say there's no reason Gabe Watson can't be tried again for the same crime in the U.S., in part because prosecutors allege he concocted a plot to kill his wife in Alabama, supposedly for a life insurance payout. Defense attorneys say there was never such a plan or policy, and they want the case dismissed.

Gabe and Tina Watson met while both were attending classes at University of Alabama at Birmingham, a sprawling urban campus in downtown Birmingham, not far from their homes. They started dating in 2002 after she broke up with a boyfriend. Her father, Tommy Thomas, recalled how she told her parents about meeting a "very nice man" in her classes, a man who was "funny and a little weird."

Gabe and Tina became engaged around Easter 2003 and were married Oct. 11. They jetted off to Australia, and Thomas said his daughter was excited about the trip. She had always wanted to visit the famous Sydney Opera House.

Watson initially wanted to start the honeymoon with the diving trip, Thomas said, but Tina talked him into going to Sydney first.

She was, Thomas said, "a beautiful girl."

"One of the divers on the dive boat said she was 'Miss Alabama beautiful, both inside and out,'" he said. "She would walk into a room and everybody in the room would start smiling and laughing."

His daughter had a passion for animals, liked to shop and loved romantic movies — her favorite was "Gone With The Wind."

The couple had graduated from UAB before their marriage, and he was working in his father's packaging business. She was working for a Birmingham area department store. Their lives were ahead of them.

Now Gabe Watson, indicted by an Alabama county grand jury on a capital murder charge, is in custody in Los Angeles. He is expected to return to his home state in the next several days to face new charges.

His attorneys said they will likely ask to dismiss the case on grounds of "double jeopardy," which prevents a defendant from being tried twice on similar charges.

But Bruce Zagaris, an international law expert in Washington, D.C., said the U.S. position in such cases has been that "unless the extradition treaty prohibits double jeopardy, then the U.S. can try the person again."

The treaty doesn't mention double jeopardy. Australia did hesitate to send Gabe Watson back, though, fearing he might face a possible death sentence. Australia does not have a death penalty and its leaders have been outspoken opponents to capital punishment.

Alabama Attorney General Troy King and federal authorities agreed he would not face the death penalty, though a conviction could carry a life term in prison.

Prosecutors want to know why Watson swam to get help instead of attempting to rescue his wife. Assistant Attorney General Don Valeska has described Watson as an experienced rescue diver who should have known not to leave his "dive buddy." Tina Watson was making one of her first dives in open water.

Watson's attorney, Brett Bloomston, said his client took a rescue course at a lake outside Birmingham, but did not have experience with open water rescues, particularly in a location like the Great Barrier Reef, with swift currents.

Watson initially was charged with murder in Australia, but after a lengthy investigation, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge.

One of the reasons for the plea was the uncertainty over exactly what happened as the couple began the fateful dive to the wreck of the SS Yongala, a passenger and steam freighter that sank during a storm in 1911 near the northeast Australia city of Townsville.

At a 19-day coroner's inquest in Australia, Watson said in a videotaped police interview that his wife began having trouble a few minutes into the dive and panicked. He said she clutched at his mask and pulled it off, and by the time he put it back on, she was sinking, arms outstretched toward him.

Gabe Watson swam away and one of the dive leaders pulled Tina Watson to the surface, but she could not be revived. Tests found nothing wrong with her diving gear, and an autopsy found no pre-existing medical condition. At the inquest, a fellow diver said he saw Watson engaged in an underwater "bear hug" with his petite wife.

Australian authorities said Gabe Watson also gave conflicting accounts, including that a strong current may have been a factor.

Valeska, the Alabama prosecutor, said much of their case will come from evidence gathered in Australia. He expects to bring investigators and other witnesses from Australia, and for the most part, Alabama officials have not conducted a separate probe.

Gabe Watson's attorney has also said there never was a life insurance policy that would have benefited his client. He said a $33,000 insurance payment was made to Tina Watson's father, not her husband.

"The Australians never could prove murder," Bloomston said.

But Thomas said his daughter told him shortly before the marriage that Watson wanted her to change the life insurance policy, a group policy she got at the department store where she worked. Thomas said she told him Watson wanted her to increase the amount of the policy and change the beneficiary to Watson, not her father.

He said he gave his daughter some advice.

"I told her to tell him it had been taken care of and when you come back from Australia take care of it then," Watson said.

Personal Comment: Did he really shut off her air in sight of other divers? Or, did he freak out and run when she got in trouble and he had the chance to save her? It will be interesting to see if he can be tried in the U.S. for his wife’s murder. From what I’ve read of the case I think he got off too easy the first time.

Leigha, You once said something to the effect that there was a good bit more to the story of Gabe and Tina Watson that didn’t get in the papers. Now that he is no longer in custody in Australia is there anything more you can tell us?
