St Janice and Barrow Priory students, UNLV graduation

Mind the gap! Guess who forgot their butt glue?

The photo: The beginning of a wedgie. Butt glue is used for photo shoots, pageants and when going clubbing to hold a costume smooth over curves while the wearer is moving. It won’t work if you get the bikini wet so there is no need to waste it if you’re going swimming or plan to have it ripped off during foreplay. Wedgies are a normal part of wearing a bikini if you are going in the water in it. If I’m using butt glue I like the brand ‘It Stays’ in a roll-on. I carry it in case I’m posing, but on Virgin Gorda I almost never use it.

St Janice end of year pelvic and pointe fittings: Saint Janice is an exclusive girl’s school in Berkshire. Veronika, Nika to her friends, the ballerina daughter of my close Belgravia neighbor and Russian ex-pat Alexei teaches master pointe classes to the older girls there from time to time. As the school’s gynecologist was retiring Nika recommended Chris our male Gyn from Blackthorn Clinic to be their replacement gynecology specialist and contraceptive advisor so Chris has been in that capacity for several months. The head mistress had asked if the clinic could fit diaphragms as ‘flood insurance’ for a few of the upper form girls going on a swimming adventure to an Israeli resort on the Red Sea this summer. As I am one of Blackthorn Clinic’s primary cervical barrier fitters I went with Chris when he did the students end of year pelvic exams and check the placement of their stringless Marina IUDs. I fit their cervical barriers. None of the girls was allergic to latex and they all had lovely deep post-pubic vaults so I fitted them with latex coil spring rim diaphragms similar to the old Ortho White that was discontinued years ago. I used a latex barrier because they were going to be having sex underwater in the ocean and need to use a good thick silicone lube that takes a while to wash out even in sea water and Milex silicone barriers shouldn’t be used with a silicone lube because it tends to make them sticky and deteriorate fairly quickly.

Our Blackthorn dance shop is primary pointe-shoe provider to the students at St Janice and Nancy, our fitter, came along to take orders for their summer pointe-shoe needs. We recommend Gaynor Minden pointes for all women who can be fitted correctly in them because they last several times as long as toe-shoes made of traditional materials and take less training to wear confidently and continuously for long intervals while performing, clubbing or in fetish encounters such as ballet-sex where long term support and comfort are needed. Because Gaynors blocks are made of polymer and don’t breathe they are hot to wear and can take several days to dry after a wearing if you don’t have access to a source of dry gentle heat to quickly dry them. That’s why I like to travel with at least three pairs of GM pointes prepared for the roles I’ll be performing be they ballet or fetish performances

Barrow Priory pompoir training: Barrow Priory in Middlesex is the site of Blackthorn Priory’s upper school conveniently located near an elite male school so the two schools can combine their student bodies for courses in human sexual anatomy. Unlike most students at St Janice the girls at Barrow Priory upper school are all training to be escorts and are being tested this spring on their ability to isolate and manipulate their vaginal muscles and for their specialized ballet training to extend the length of their continuous interval en pointe an ability needed to successfully perform ballet-sex. All the girls must have had at least ten years of ballet training four of which must have been in pointe-shoes. All the sixth form girls have done splendidly in their studies and pelvic training and are now able to easily manipulate a pair of 1.0 inch solid surgical steel Ben Wa balls, weighing 2.3 oz. each, while en pointe a skill needed to successfully perform pompoir, the milking of  a partner's penis while he remains stationary inside you.

As with their St Janice counterparts the Barrow Priory students had their end of school year pelvic exams and had their diaphragms, with which they were fitted when they advanced to classes at Barrow, checked for fit before the girls went to their summer work assignments. Unlike the St Janice girls the Barrow girls all have frameless copper bead GyneFix IUDs with the strings removed so they can cycle naturally and enjoy menstrual sex as well as the hormone high of their fertile intervals. Most are going to be pool attendants, life guards or towel girls at up-market swim clubs, spas or as nannies with benefits where they can meet wealthy aristocratic men who could become lovers, clients or both. For the last several years Barrow Priory girls have been placed where their looks and pelvic skills can be appreciated which has increased the demand for them and it is wonderful experience where they can use their pelvic training and make influential friends.

UNLV 2015 commencement: The flight back on Limnaea II out of Gatwick on the 13^th with Marvin was delightful and other than amazing sex was uneventful.  I was fertile and had an Oves screwed down on my ripe cervix for protection from Morning Wood’s little swimmers. Anya met us at McCarran and took us to my old home where we napped until the girls got home. I had Adolph and Kassandra his PA and current lover over for dinner where we had steaks on the grill. It was so good to see them both again and Adolph is still in Kassi’s thrall and as happy as I’ve ever seen him, but I wonder how long that can possibly last.  

Commencement will be today Saturday May 16, at 9am when Willow, Odette and Odile will graduate.  It’s supposed to be a lovely day with low humidity and the temperature in the mid 70s, a welcome change from the cool and damp UK. Bea will be starting Cambridge as an undergrad while the other three go to grad school at Cambridge where Taryn can guide or intercede for them if necessary.

Virgin Gorda: We depart this evening, the 16^th, but I’ve changed my mind about our destination. Rather than returning immediately to London we are going to my place on Lost Cove on Virgin Gorda for a few days before heading back to the UK.  Fortunately I decided before we left the UK so I was able to get the girls reg bags and wetsuits brought down from Blackthorn Castle to bring with us. We have time before the Summer Solstice and before hurricane season starts in the Caribbean. Once back in the UK there will still be plenty of time for the girls to go fetish clubbing in London this summer and for diving my new deep training pool if it’s completed on time.

 

Alice, Duchess of M****, has already had His Grace’s sailing yacht, The Wanton Lass IV, taken around to Charlotte Amalie on St Thomas to meet us at Cyril E. King Airport (IATA: STT) where Limnaea II will land so we could walk to the boat if we didn’t have luggage.

Sex and the push-up bra

Adjustable racer-back details of front close extra lift bra

The photo: The racer-back of a VS So Obsessed front-close push-up that provides extra lift which in fetish circles is sometimes called a ‘razor-back” because of the number of elastic back bands that have been slit - or weakened so they come apart while the wearer is on the dance floor - by jealous rivals usually in a fetish club ladies’ loo using a razor blade paint scraper as an offensive weapon. A box cutter will work as well though I think it’s too heavy and bulky to conveniently carry in a clutch while clubbing. Because costume sabotage is common among competitive women it’s always a good idea to go into the ladies loo of a fetish club in pairs to watch one another’s backs.

Sex and the push-up: For Balanchine bodied ballerinas like me; long legs and neck, short trunk, small breasts and head the push-up bra is a necessity when out clubbing at venues where there is a need to show cleavage. The extra lift gives me (a B-cup with lactating breasts) amazingly deep cleavage that when worn with a revealing top guarantees a man will have a hard time looking me in the eye when talking to me because he can’t get his eyes off my cleavage. When that happens I can sometimes see the drape in his slacks change as he becomes hard and fanaticizes about cumming on my chest and watching his semen drain down my cleavage and my pelvis begins to tingle as I start to become aroused. I’m shamelessly brazen when the mood strikes me, especially when I’m fertile, so thinking about what he might do to me if I could get him alone gets me wet and all because I’m wearing a push-up. Marvin has no idea wearing a push-up affects me so strongly that way.

Extra lift front closure bras are amazing to breast feed in too and it’s such a surprise to a new man when I offer to let him milk me.  I love playing with a man’s mind like that while feeling amazingly desirable, feminine and very attractive and it works not just with men I meet for the first time, but with the men I’m around all the time as well; Marvin, Chris my Gyn, Alexei and Jack to name a few.

Veronika and her Ben Wa set: Returning readers will recall that Veronika is the ballerina daughter of my close Belgravia neighbor and Russian ex-pat Alexei. She asked me to help her increase her pelvic skills and one of those is Pompoir, being able to milk the semen from a man while he remains stationary inside her.  It’s what I use to call ‘ripple grip’ which I think better describes that muscle flexing technique. The primary training device for isolating and strengthening of the vaginal muscle sets to be able to milk a man effectively is a pair of Ben Wa balls.  I have her training with a one inch diameter surgical stainless steel set.

Each ball weighs 2.307 oz.) for a total of 4.614 oz. of steel, more than a quarter of a pound and she has become proficient in moving the balls up and down her vaginal barrel while performing household tasks and can even hold them in place in pointe class doing jumps and développés while en pointe. Pompoir is said to be one of the sexual skills that Wallis Simpson used on King Edward VIII that made him so in thrall to her that he abdicated the English throne in order to marry her.

The Mares Trick is far too advanced to be teaching at this point in her training, but being able to successfully accomplish Pompoir is an important requirement on the way.

She has been trying out her penis milking skills on several of her ballet partners and has set off something of a rivalry between them for her attention. However, she is still looking for Mr. Right while enjoying Mr. Right Now. That’s quite similar to what Morning Wood and I are doing, enjoying secondary sexual partners to take advantage of situations that arise and to fill urgent needs when we aren’t together.  As the saying goes “when I’m not near the man I love I love the man I’m near.”

The contraceptive sponge and pregnancy: In our clinic we have recently seen several women testing positive for hCG after using the Today sponge. The Today contraceptive sponge is not currently available over-the-counter in the UK, but can be purchased on the Internet. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the syncytiotrophoblast, a portion of the placenta following implantation. The presence of hCG is detected in pregnancy tests. Amazon.uk has Today sponge vaginal contraceptive sponge – box of 3 for 17.36 GBP which depending on how much sex you have might be a good deal compared with condoms.

The Today sponge contains the spermicide Nonoxynol-9 (N9) and is supposed to be capable for protecting against pregnancy for an unlimited number of acts of IC over an interval of 24 hours and should be removed no earlier than 6 hours after the last act of IC and should not be worn continuously for more than 30 hours. When it first came available in the U.S. it was advertised as being effective for 48 hours, two days, which is how the Today sponge got its name.

We had another walk-in patient who wanted help removing a sponge that had been forced into her posterior fornix by a well endowed partner. She has short fingers and freaked out when she found it was off her cervix and she couldn’t reach it. She could have used a long handled spoon to tease the sponge out from behind her cervix, but was too upset to think clearly. We removed the sponge soaked with her fertile cervical mucus and semen and gave her the EC pill ellaOne.

Happy Easter: I’d like to wish my readers the blessings of the Easter season. Even though I’m a Priestess of the Goddess Aphrodite I respect the beliefs of my readers of all different faiths.

 

Vamp extensions, ballet-sex, Valentines Day

Alexandra Ferri’s feet in customized Freed Classic pointes

The photo by Fabrizio Ferri: Ballerina Alessandra Ferri stretching and warming up for a performance. You can easily see the vamp extensions sewn into the throat on her Freed Classics. The extensions cover the lower part of her insteps allowing her to work safely far over the blocks w/o the danger of her toes ‘overflowing’ the vamps of her shoes. She is particularly known for doing that when dancing the title role in Manon.

Vamp extensions: Pointes made with traditional materials – hessian, leather, satin, cardboard and paste - worn for ballet-sex by women just learning about and unfamiliar with the lack of muscle control experienced during orgasm while en pointe (ballet-sex) should sew vamp extensions into their shoes.

During a major orgasm a girl’s bones feel as though they have turned to jelly and the only way she can remain en pointe is by locking her knees and keeping her feet pointed at which time she may well balance well over the front of the blocks on the top edge of the platform where she is more likely to overflow the vamp even if her shoes are a good fit. Most women with strong feet and a few months experience having frequent orgasms during ballet-sex learn to retain some control during strong orgasms so they will be able to remain fairly centered over the blocks. Even so, for younger escort/dancers and trainees vamp extensions are a recommended safety feature.

Women wearing Gaynor Minden hard shanked shoes for ballet-sex, even those who have high arches, like me, or who are tall, should not need vamp extensions as the hard shank or custom double hard shanks in a correctly fitted shoe should prevent the wearer going too far over the block.

Tanaquil offers me a job: My good friend Tanaquil who is based in Munich and runs an elite Escort service serving Western Europe has asked for my help. The ballet teacher who was doing the pelvic training for Escorts in her UK school in London was killed in a skiing accident last week in France and she asked if I was interested in taking her place.

Since I was still looking for something rewarding to do I accepted. Being able to train young women to experience the most toe curling sensations from their hard sculpted bodies while preparing themselves to be exquisite mistresses or marriage partners for adventuresome men is immensely rewarding for me.

As a Fetish Escort trainer: I will screen the girls for entry into the program so I can ensure I have young women with the looks, talent, and initiative and clean STI histories needed to be an elite level fetish escort. Tanaquil recruits from the colleges and universities in the London metropolitan area and the women must have strong ballet backgrounds as well as being good students academically. I can use the vacant ballet studio above the dance costume and shoe shop in the building owned by the Blackthorn Trust. That will save Tanaquil from having to find new premises as the lease on her present studio is up in April and the rent increase in the new lease is exorbitant.

I will take them for fittings of pointe shoes made of traditional materials aa well as being fitted with Gaynor Minden pointes. In addition I will take them to have stringless GyneFix frameless copper bead IUDs implanted and to be fitted for contraceptive diaphragms: the latex Reflexions, silicone Milex and the single size Caya arcing diaphragm – which fits women who take traditional diaphragm sizes from 65mm-80mm) and which requires a pronounced/deep post-pubic vault. The candidates are also fitted with sports plugs and menstrual cups. A fetish escort candidate must have regular menstrual cycles and periods that are not painful or that can be easily managed with 800 mg of Ibuprofen since sex during menstruation is a service offering of a fetish escort. 

The current escort trainee class is six women with six straight males with good sexual stamina needed for ballet-sex and two substitutes all drawn from local ballet companies as partners for classes needing dance or sexual partners. Tanaquil said the men have been a problem as they keep dropping out as ballet partners from injuries or performance schedule conflicts although the sex for them is marvelous. So new men are having to be continuously screened and introduced into the program, but not as often as the girls whose classes last about eight weeks. I screen the men as well so after the STI tests to ensure they are safe I’ll take each one to assess his sexual technique and coach him to hone his skills, a not unpleasant aspect of introducing new men to the program. Tanaquil assures me keeping enough screened men available is how I will get to know many of the rising young male ballet dancers in southern England.

Surprisingly there is no shortage of well qualified female applicants for fetish escort training. Candidates must be in the top third of their class academically; eighteen years old or older so there will be no problems associated with training underage girls and free of romantic attachments. And of course have normal pelvic anatomies, pass physical stress tests, not use narcotics and have negative full panel STI exams as well as pregnancy tests.

While I’m in London escaping the noise of construction at Blackthorn-on-Summit working as a ballet and pelvic coach for fetish escort trainees (a job I did while in Vegas) will be a great way for me to keep fit and get to meet a lot of the players in the London fetish Escort scene and Veronika should be able to take my classes with the trainees when she isn’t dancing.   

Valentines Day: Yesterday was St. Valentines Day and my psychiatrist and lover Marvin, fondly known as ‘Morning Wood’ because of his massive morning erections - which I have great fun helping him take care of before he gets out of bed – took me to see Fifty Shades of Grey and I rather liked it though it’s a bit mainstream. But then it is supposed to introduce the vanilla general public to BDSM.  So a bit of slap and tickle is about as rough as it got as they were trying not to have it rated any more risqué than an R in the U.S.

Then we went back to Blackthorn House and I let him watch me prepare to be taken. I changed from ballet-boots to Gaynor Minden hard shanked pointes, preparing my toes by taping them and pulling on ouch pouch toe-pads before pushing my toes into the blocks. Pulling thr backs over my heels I walked around on my toes to make sure they were comfy (ha, ha) before tying my feet in the shoes with the lovely pink ribbons. Then I washed my hands and prepared my latex Reflections diaphragm stretching the translucent membrane of the dome checking for cracks, thin spots and pin holes before adding an acidic spermicidal gel. Then I let him insert it for me, being sure to check afterward that it was properly positioned and my cervix was covered since I was CD8 and fertile and don’t want him to accidently get me preggers. I took him astride, then ‘Doggie Style’ entered from the rear with me on my hands and knees.

For our third encounter before going to bed to sleep we had ballet-sex with me holding on to the bedroom barre, trunk parallel to the floor, feet en pointe a la seconde with him penetrating me from the rear again. In that position most men would thrust into the posterior fornix, but with training and thrusting at a slightly downward angle a lover can force the soft stretchy dome of the Reflexions to surround his glans and penetrate my anterior fornix where the latex dome is stretched to the maximum forcing the cervix deeper and squeezing my lover’s glans the hardest. That is an extremely quick way to get even the most problem prone lover to orgasm.  He is such an amazing lover!

Veronika begins BDSM training

Veronika channels Anastasia Steele

The photo: The poster for the film Fifty Shades of Grey from E.L. James 2012 runaway best seller of that name. It will be released in the U.S. and UK on February 13^th just in time for Valentines Day.

Veronika’s baseline: While Nika isn’t quite a virgin she is very inexperienced in the ways of men with women. So Alexei, her father, asked me to take her in hand, since he no longer has women in his family to help guide her through a series of broadening sexual experience in relative safely. She has been vaccinated against the common childhood diseases: Polio, Whooping cough, Mumps, Measles, lockjaw, Chickenpox and has had her full series of three shots to protect against the most common strains of HPV. She has had a pregnancy test, negative. She has had a full panel STI test and all tests were negative. And her pelvic grip has been measured with a Peritron for pelvic floor assessment.

No leave of absence: I have decided to stay in London for a while as the noise level at Blackthorn-on-summit from the construction of the new dance studio and the dive tank foundation test borings is far too loud to allow me to do much productive work. I thought it wouldn’t be that bad, but I was wrong. 

Also, I have rethought Alexei’s idea of having Nika request a leave of absence from the company so she can train with me. It’s not as though there is any time certain by which she must be proficient in the skills I teach. Furthermore, it’s very short notice and bad timing to ask for time off during winter performing season and while her request would probably be granted (given who her father is) that sort of thing is remembered by management and the other dancers and competition is fierce under the best of circumstances so it would not be a smart career move. As a member of the Corps she will be dancing quite a lot, more than 30 performances and associated rehearsals for two full length ballets for the next several months. The current schedule for Onegin and Swan Lake are:

Onegin: By John Cranko Music: Kurt-Heinz Stolze after Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky John Cranko’s adaptation of Pushkin’s verse-novel, set to music by Tchaikovsky, trembles with emotional charge. Performances will be on:

24 January at 2pm and 7pm; 27 | 28 | 30 January at 7.30pm; 31 January at 12.30pm 2 | 4 February at 7.30pm; 7 February at 12.30pm; 11 February at 2.30pm and 7.30pm; 16 | 18 February at 7.30pm; 27 February at 2.30pm and 7.30pm  13

Swan Lake: By Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, additional choreography by Frederick Ashton and David Bintley Music: Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky Anthony Dowell's production of the greatest romantic ballet draws upon the opulence of 1890s Russia. Performances will be on:

10 | 13 February at 7.30pm; 14 February at 7pm; 19 February at 2pm and 7.30pm; 21 February at 1.30pm and 7pm 13 | 16 | 17† | 18 | 19 | 25 | 26 March at 7.30pm; 14 March at 12.30pm; 21 March at 1.30pm and 7pm 2 | 7 | 9 April at 7.30pm  19

Living in London is far more convenient for now as I can provide ballet therapy during the day in the studio at Blackthorn House for those patients of Marvin’s who need it. Then I can work with Nika schooling her in the art of seduction when her schedule permits. Given her heavy performance schedule its imperative she wear Gaynors to protect her toes during ballet-sex training.

Veronika and hormonal contraceptives: She was on the Progestin-only-pill Cerazette, a 28 tablet packet with each pill containing 75mcg desogestrel. So there were no hormone-free days. I suggested she change to a copper IUD, to get away from having to remember to take a pill at the same time each day. But she was very pleased with how well Cerazette had worked for her and has painful periods and irregular cycles and wants to continue on hormones so she agreed to try a Mirena Levonorgestrel releasing device. The initial Marina release rate of levonorgestrel is 20 mcg/day; this rate is reduced by about 50% after 5 years which is the useful life of the device. Chris, our male Gyn. Inserted one with the strings removed so she can safely wear cervical barriers for flood insurance during dive-sex w/o the danger of possibly pulling the IUD out from the strings sticking to the barrier. As long as she doesn’t take meds or supplements that reduce the hormones efficacy she should be ok. She can slip by the clinic monthly for an ultrasound to make sure the IUD is still positioned correctly like Escorts do who have had framed stringless IUDs placed.

Stocking Nika’s Slit-kit: While we were at the clinic I had Nika fitted for a latex Reflexions diaphragm, she got three in her size, for flood insurance during dive-sex and a sports plug, for grope protection while clubbing. She already uses a Diva menstrual cup for flow control. We added some Nitrile FC2 female condoms and a 12-pack of super-sheer Japanese male condoms and six 10ml prefilled disposable applicators of DiveGel+ the lubricant spermicide-biocide used primarily for dive-sex. The six were put in her kit and she got a carton of twenty-four 10ml prefilled applicators to backfill her kit.

In the clinic’s toy store: We bought her several sets of Ben Wa balls. First a pair of 1.0 inch 316 surgical steel balls weighting 2.3 oz. each for a total of 4.6 oz. or quarter-pounder McBalls. And a 1.0 inch set of borosilicate (Pyrex) glass balls weighing 0.63 oz. each. We finished her initial purchases with several suction cup mounted silicone and Borosilicate glass dildos. The suction cup base ones for sticking to the mirrors in the studio and backing on to them while en pointe to train solo for ballet-sex.

Pointe-shoes: Veronika wears Freed Classics for training and performing with her company, but if she is going to train for ballet-sex she really should wear hard shanked Gaynor Minden shoes. Returning readers will recall ballet-sex is defined for purposes of this blog as penile-vaginal intercourse to orgasm preferably by both partners while the woman is en pointe a la seconde bending over holding on to a barre or other suitable support while being penetrated from the rear. The pre-arched hard shanks allow a wearer to put a significant portion of her weight on her heels to rest w/o crushing the shanks, during the extended interval she is continuously en pointe during ballet-sex.

While allowing the tightest pelvic grip possible ballet-sex can injure the woman’s feet by bruising her toes from thrust-drop, especially if the man is taller than the woman when she is on her toes. Some few women don’t find GM pointes comfortable and with polymer blocks and shanks they are hot, but the thick platform pads as well as the usual toe tape and toe-pads provide the best protection against bruised toes which are very painful and look terrible as well if you’re a sandals girl. Fortunately Veronika found a size in GM that fit properly and were comfortable, relatively speaking, and she bought six pairs, making sure to try both shoes of each pair on so to ensure there were no manufacturing defects.

Nika in ballet-boots: For any rising fetishista ballet-boots for clubbing are a must-have. So we went by Blackthorn Fetishwear to have her fitted. Cleo, Gepetto’s 26 y/o daughter is working at Blackthorn Ballet shoes and Fetishwear to fit his custom titanium unitized toe-box and shank leather ballet-boots as well as Gaynor Minden pointe shoes. Cleo had been working in Gepetto’s Vegas shop for five years and is an expert fitter. The cost is $2500 USD (about 1655 GBP) for a basic pair and she bought three more expensive pairs - all lightly armored as I don’t want her injured from a heel in her calf or instep by a jealous competitor - in black leather with lace splitter rapier heels, spider filament laces and three sets of Inman heel guards for use while wearing them at her home and mine and if we shop in them to protect the floors and carpeting from punctures. It’s best to have a pair of heel-guards for each pair as in a scramble where you have to release your guards to fight it is easy to lose one or both in the melee.

I bought an addition two pairs as well since with so much rain here it is more likely that they will get wet. Even though heavily oiled if you are caught in a downpour or have to wade to a taxi they can get soaked and take a while to dry properly.  

Old business: First it’s 25 miles (or so) from St. George’s Channel,  the south entrance to the Irish Sea on the west coast of Wales to the Cumbrian Mountains not the 50 that I wrote an earlier post.

And a frequent reader [thank you Eric] corrected me as I had misidentified one of the teams in the 2015 AFC playoff. It was the Indianapolis Colts that the New England Patriots cheated (in my opinion) in Deflate-Gate to get a spot in Super Bowl XLIX.

Super Bowl weekend in London

Eaton Square Belgravia, Westminster, London

The photo: Eaton Square, London SW1W Terrace to the north side of Eaton Terrace looking west. Part of the Grosvenor Estate in Belgravia. The photo is by Paul Leonard 2006. Eaton Square is one of the three garden squares built by the Grosvenor family when they developed the main part of Belgravia in the 19th century, and is named after Eaton Hall, the Grosvenor country house in Cheshire. Blackthorn House is one of the few freeholds privately owned by others in the square.

An Invitation: Morning Wood, who is living at Blackthorn House while he practices psychiatry at Blackthorn Clinic during the week received an invitation on my behalf to a Super Bowl XLIX party at a neighbor’s home a few doors down from Blackthorn House.  I was surprised and pleased. Not because I care about the game, I don’t, but because a London neighbor invited us. It is a marvelous neighborhood, but a lot of homes are owned by foreign absentee owners and it is very quiet so I was looking forward to meeting some of the owners who actually live on the square.

Our hosts who I’ll call ‘Alexei’ and ‘Veronika’ were a widowed Russian expat businessman, and his 18 y/o daughter who dances with a prominent local ballet company.  Alexei is very handsome (think George Clooney) and local gossip has it he is an attentive lover and expert swordsman. Assuming that to be true I wore a latex Reflexions flat spring diaphragm even though I was CD23 and Luteal so if we had a sexual encounter and neither of us were protected I should have been safe from pregnancy. A bigger concern on my part was that I had no full panel STI test for him so I wouldn’t have taken the chance on him penetrating me w/o using a condom. I needn’t have worried; he didn’t make a serious attempt to seduce me.

Dress was casual so I wore pink seamed tights over a long sleeve, turtleneck, and thong-back aquamarine leotard with pink suede tipped GM pointes. Over my leo I wore a toasty warm cowl collar canary yellow woolen sweater as a tunic which came a bit above mid thigh. It was an ensemble to display my legs and be noticed in and I was.

The weather was cold and damp with light rain. Fortunately Alexei lives in the same terrace row less than 100 yards away so it was a short dry walk for Marvin and me under the covered terrace walkway to his door where we were greeted by two large security men and after showing our invitation were shown in. We were warmly greeted by Veronika who was acting as hostess.  She knew us by name and said she had been looking forward to meeting me as her father had told her about me. I smiled and said I looked forward to being good friends with her while I wondered what her father, a I man I had never met, had told her about me. Her remark did alert me that the invitation might have been more than to a friendly neighborhood gathering and I wondered what he wanted.

Veronika introduced Marvin and me to other guests, mainly young Russian men and gorgeous Russian women with one or two older business acquaintances of her fathers. No one was wearing wedding rings. There was a table with caviar from the Caspian Sea on toast points and Champagne and single malt scotch which I avoided since I suspected Alexei had some business he was going to ask me about. It turned out many of the young men work for Alexei and the women are ballet dancers either in Russia or other European countries and England who had time off and had been invited for their looks and pelvic skills.

Alexei: As soon as we had something to drink, Marvin had a Macallan 40 y/o single malt scotch, Veronika guided Marvin away to introduce him to her ballet girlfriends and I found Alexei immediately at my elbow. He must be in his mid 50s, but has a lovely hard chiseled body, is 6 feet tall, about 165 lbs. and steel gray eyes. He is in the energy business, natural gas from Russian fields which he has the rights to, among other things, and is a patron of the Mariinsky and Royal ballet companies. He said he learned about me from Maya, the Russian ballerina from the Mariinsky who returning readers will recall had the termination and spent her recovery with me at Blackthorn Castle after her German Medusa IUD failed during her stay with the Duke of M**** at Crag Abbey over the Christmas and New Years  holidays.

Training Veronika: Alexei Said he had heard what an amazing job I have done in training my wards; Bea, Willow, and the Swan twins and asked that I coach Veronika in the ways of men as there is no woman in the family to take her in hand to counsel her and to improve her seductive and pelvic skills. I was pleased that he asked as I had taken an immediate liking to Veronika and I have been missing the interaction between myself and my other wards. I’m not sure how much time Veronika would otherwise have away from the ballet company she dances with, but since Alexei is a patron she can probably get a leave of absence with no harm to her career.

Super Bowl XLIX: In a drawing room there was a huge flat screen TV and soft couches and chairs in a semicircle around it where we all gathered to watch the game. The New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks, the defending champion, 28-24. I watched very little of the game as I’m not a sports fan. I accepted the invitation so I could chat up my neighbor and his friends which I thought worked out quite well.

Though it was hard fought and a tight contest In my opinion the New England team had no business playing in the Super Bowl as they cheated with an under-inflated football to win over the Indianapolis Colts to get there. A ball condition that team members must have known they were playing with, but in hindsight no one seems to have any knowledge of. Imagine that!   If you don’t understand the last sentence Google ‘deflate gate’. I thought the Commercials were less interesting this year and my fave was the one for Budweiser with the lost puppy saved by the Clydesdales.
