The 2010-11 season ballets

Poster for the ballet Ondine by The Royal Ballet in 2000

Ballets for the 2010 – 11 season: I was asked how I chose dancers for my small company and how I pick dancers for roles so I’ll write briefly about the process as well as the ballets we will be dancing this season. Dancers join my troupe knowing that we provide erotic ballet using the classical idiom. We screen for willingness to push the creative envelope so we don’t have a problem with squeamishness about having sexual encounters in front of an audience. This is Vegas and the competition for job openings is intense. We have never had a problem finding dancers with marvelous bodies and exquisite technique and in the current recession competition for a single opening is enormous. We have great health care benefits – We have to with unprotected sexual activity on stage. We are all screened with a full STI panel every two weeks so we are sometimes referred to as the Vampire Ballet because of the frequency of blood being drawn.

Every dancer is responsible for her own birth control and there are very few jobs for pregnant ballerinas (we are all tested weekly for hCG) so the girls are very careful to use their birth control correctly. Though the Ballet Mistress has Plan B One-step available for the asking if a girl thinks she may have had a birth control failure. The only contraceptive device we insist a female dancer wear during some performances is a diaphragm which is used as a gas guard (during underwater sex) to prevent water and air bubbles being forced into her uterus by the hydraulics of her partner’s thrusts while underwater. We have submerged sex in our version of the ballet Undine, the story of a water sprite that falls in love with a human.

I rotate dancers in roles to give new ones a chance to shine and get different interpretations of the same role since some high-rollers come to the show every night during their stay. Looks and technique are important, but ultimately it’s a about onstage chemistry so if couples work well together I’ll go with casting them, especially opposites in a ballet like Miss Julie where the guy is a sadist and the woman a masochist so there is really rough sex with the audience splattered with body fluids. They love it!

The ballets for this season are:

Undine: The set for our version of the ballet is a tidal pool by the sea. We are fortunate that in the five venues we dance in the buildings were reinforced either to take the weight of filled swimming pools on the upper floors or because the building had been designed to add more floors so that allows us to have a glass walled water filled pool to perform in.

The story comes from Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué’s novella Undine, popular in the 19th C. It is the tale of a water-nymph who marries a mortal. Similar to other 19th century fairy tales, the plot is based on man (Palemon) encountering the supernatural (the water nymph Ondine), but the outcome is rather different than many of the 19th century classics: here, it is the man that dies, and the female character survives. Ondine makes her first appearance from a fountain, shivering in the cold air. She meets the hero, Palemon, and is astonished when she feels his heartbeat as she doesn't possess a heart. Palemon deserts Berta, whom he has been courting, and decides to marry Ondine. During a particularly strong storm while at sea, Ondine is lost overboard. Palemon survives the shipwreck created by the angry Ondines and believing Ondine is lost ends up marrying Berta. Ondine returns and is heartbroken when she discovers Palemon's unfaithfulness. When she kisses him he dies and she goes back to the sea losing all memory of him forever.

In our version we have revised Sir Frederick Ashton’s 1958 ballet Ondine which he choreographed for the Royal Ballet. We have kept the original novella name, Undine, and changed the ending. So that after discovering his unfaithfulness, in place of the fatal kiss Undine has sex with him and her desire for him is so great that she sucks the life out of him as he orgasms inside her. She swims off holding hands with another female water sprite having found another partner before her male lover’s body is cold. The dancer/divers breathe from inconspicuous air hoses descending from a surface supply unit. The female lead’s long hair is worn loose and she wears only a Reflexions latex diaphragm and weighted pool-pointes to keep her slightly negatively buoyant with her weighted feet on the bottom of the pool. The ending has been hugely popular with audiences, especially straight Dommes and butch lesbians because Undine is one of the few ballets where a woman survives and triumphs.

The Image used at the top of this entry is of a poster for a production of the ballet Ondine by The Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House, London in 2000. This poster features former Royal Ballet principal dancer Sarah Wildor, who danced the title role.

Swan Lake: We have a very popular ending to a shortened version of Swan Lake where Odette (the white swan) gives herself to Prince Siegfried who penetrates her from the rear while she is en pointe. The male dancer uses Cialis as a performance enhancer and she wears a thong bottom tutu and crotchless tights. The high-roller clubs all have intimate venues so the audience gets to watch up close and personal as the Prince shoot his wad inside her. There is an onstage costume change for Odette as his making love to her turns her back into an almost nude (she is still wearing pointe shoes) beautiful princess. Is it real? Yeah, it is, this is Vegas. The female usually doesn’t have time to orgasm, unless she has been masturbating backstage, but the male does and as he pulls out there are usually still strands of semen dripping from his fading erection as the couple takes their bows. It’s all great fun and the guys who lose heavily at the tables have their minds diverted for a while.

Miss Julie: A ballet in one act with choreography and libretto by Birgit Cullberg. Based on Johan August Strindberg’s famous stage play (first produced in 1889) about sex and class, the ballet tells the story of the aristocratic Miss Julie who seduces the family butler and has to pay for her indiscretion with her life. The main characters:

Miss Julie: Twenty-five-year old daughter of a count. She hates men, thanks to her mother’s influence on her, and believes her high social station makes her superior to her servants. Nevertheless, her instinctual female sexual urges drive her into the arms of a valet, Jean, who is all that she despises–a man and a lowly menial.

Jean: Thirty-year-old valet of the count. Though of the servant class, he is articulate and even can pepper his speech with French phrases he learned while working as a wine steward in Switzerland. He seems to represent the lower classes of the late 19th Century in a world that was casting off class distinctions and allowing the lowly to become equals of the high and the mighty. When Miss Julie entices him with her charms, he invites her to his room—and the boundaries separating social classes, and Miss Julie’s clothes, droop to the floor.

The servants talk about the incident that caused Miss Julie’s fiancé to breakup with her. Miss Julie was “training” her fiancé as a master would train his dog, forced him to jump over her horsewhip. Twice he did it and twice the whip cut him. When he was supposed to jump again, he took the whip from her, broke it into pieces, and walked off.

Miss Julie, on the rebound, seduces Jean and after they have been sexually intimate he tells her that the other servants know about their affair and they need to get away. Their plans fall through when Jean finds that she can’t finance their escape. They argue and Jean gets the better of her. Miss Julie becomes despondent and kills herself with the razor that Jean just finished shaving with.

We have revised the story line to include Miss Julie being brutally taken and having her cervix repeatedly rammed while she screams and squirms as the couple enjoys rough sex. There are also several wonderful S&M scenes with Miss Julie whipping Jean with her riding crop and them both enjoying it before he inseminates her on stage. Then after he refuses for a second time to go away with her she beats him with her riding crop again and then slits her wrists. The long sleeved riding habit she is wearing hides the bladders of fake blood that pour onto the stage as she runs the razor over her sleeves. S & M fetishists as well as misogynists love our version of Miss Julie for the beatings and the heroine’s suicide at the end.

A strict disciplinarian

Leashed to the bottom and out of air

Abi’s incident rate: In the exclusive German girls academy where among other things she taught submerged bondage there was such a large number of near drownings or suffocations in her classes that even at a school noted for its strict discipline her methods were thought extreme. Abi is proud of being a strict disciplinarian and will tell you that strict discipline is quickest way to foster mental toughness and separate the sheep from the goats, but the final straw for the academy’s head mistress was a student’s suicide. Abi was asked to resign as the result of the suicide of a girl who had been sent back to Abi’s class after she was intentionally let run out of air as a breath control exercise while held underwater by an ankle leash. It wasn’t that she was forgotten. Abi just watched as the girl struggled trying to suck air out of an empty tank and fortunately just as she removed her reg the student stopped breathing. Drowning was never an issue, but the student didn’t know that. She was in only 10 feet of water in a one piece neoprene swimsuit so when Abi put her reg back in her mouth, turned on the air from the second tank in her training twin-set and hit purge on the student’s reg while holding it in her mouth filling her lungs she regained consciousness and when Abi released her ankle leash she immediately floated to the surface where she climbed out of the pool by herself, but was so terrified that she couldn’t speak. After weeks of recovery her parents insisted she finish school with an unblemished record so they forced her to return to Abi’s next class and her parents claim that her fear of Abi and the humiliation of being sent to train in a group of girls with less seniority was apparently more than she could stand and she jumped from a bridge on campus.

Qlaira and pregnancy: I think her suicide may have had as much or more to do with the fact that she was 10 weeks pregnant (they didn’t test for divers for pregnancy at that school) and her parents were very strict about her proper use of contraceptives. She was on Qlaira (estradiol valerate, and dienogest) and the effectiveness of her hormonal protection may have been compromised by the antidepressant meds she was on.

Blame: It seems to me that if anyone is to blame for her suicide it is the student’s parents for forcing her back into a situation she hated. Abi won’t go easy on a student just because she can’t take the discipline. Nor should she, as that would ruin her reputation as being strict but fair, something she is not willing to do. Teaching at Splash Abi will have more latitude with her training philosophy of pushing the envelope, which is that rather than ask permission it is better to ask for forgiveness later. That is especially true because Adolph is expecting some dropouts from her classes with whom he can ‘commune’ as he calls it. She said he hasn’t given her a quota but I’m sure he has a number in mind. Probably enough to keep his training facility occupied when he isn’t training Rubber-Femmes for their Doms.

NuvaRing, a reader’s question: A reader asked: Can you pull out a NuvaRing with a crochet needle? Yes you can, but there should be few instances where that sort of a removal aid is necessary when using NuvaRing. The ring usually positions itself by gravity low and against the back of the pubic bone where it can easily be hooked by a finger and pulled out at removal time. And, since the ring can be left in place for the 4th week and still be effective there is plenty of time to move your period so there should be no OMG! I’ve-got-to-get-it-out-now moment, unless you are hiding the fact that you are using it from your partner. If that’s the case there is a three hour max ring-out interval after which leaving it out longer decreases the hormone protection the ring provides and to be safe you need to insert and use another effective method of contraception for a minimum of 7 days while your hormonal protection is reestablished. There may be a few instances where the user wants to remove the ring immediately after intercourse where her partner has pushed it further toward the back of her vagina. If that’s the case then a crochet hook with a 10 mm hook can be used as a removal aid.

Tactical suits and Ballet-boots

ballet-boots of the quality commonly made up in mid-range fetish boot shops here.

Tactical suits and ballet-boots: In tactical situations the less hair the better. I have a total body wax, except for scalp hair, every three weeks so I have very little pubic hair before waxing any more. If at all possible I’ll wear a tactical suit when I’m involved with cleanup projects where I do a lot of my harvesting of equipment. That way I don’t leave any of my DNA around to contaminate the scene. In addition to a T-suit that looks a lot like a rubber catsuit I’ll wear an old pair of ballet-boots that I’ve harvested during an earlier cleanup (similar to the ones in the image above) so that any tracks I leave will confuse whoever comes behind me.

I’ve been trying out a new tactical suit for use during cleanup and harvesting operations. The suit was custom made for me in Gepetto’s silicone shop and is a laminate with stretchy silicone rubber on both outer layers with a layer of Kevlar mesh sandwiched in between. The suit is still very stretchy and conforms to my shape like a second skin but it won’t balloon like a latex suit if air gets inside and the Kevlar prevents punctures and tears from sharp objects. It provides no buoyancy or thermal protection while diving but it wasn’t designed for diving. It also wouldn’t be much protection in a knife or gunfight but getting the gloves torn on sharp metal and while handling edged weapons or needle punctures is dramatically reduced and the suits silicone seals at the ankles/booties, wrists/gloves, neck/hood and helmet/gasmask, make it gas proof and waterproof so it can be used in some very hostile environments. I tried using latex as the material for a tactical suit but even heavy latex tore or punctured easily and it was susceptible to rapid deterioration when it came in contact with oil based products. So silicone while not quite as stretchy is far more resilient and far better for protection in hazardous environments where cleanup and harvesting often occur.

I had Taryn fitted for the new silicone T-suit as well since she has started accompanying me on what she calls my ‘scavenger hunts’ as part of her reality training in how the twilight world of male devices and desires really works. I want her familiar with the stench of rotting flesh as she approaches the time she will take the reins of one of the world’s largest adult media companies. That way, she should never forget the dangers the (mostly) women depicted in her products face from men, often alone. Both of us like the new silicone suits. We wear them with Penetrator plugs and breast petals and change into ballet-boots at the scene to confuse people who may come across the site after we have finished. To minimize the scent of rotting flesh and emptied bowels we put Vicks in our nostrils and suck on fresh lemon slices while wearing our masks but some of the stench still gets through so it’s a treat when I’m called soon after the accident or encounter occurred and the bodies are still fresh.

During cleanup projects even when there is nothing that fits me I'll take something as a memento of the job. Often it will be the woman's birth control device, if she was wearing one or her partial pack of BCPs... I've even harvested a dead girls breast implants, but implants are too cumbersome to store so I don’t do that often. I love finding a dead woman my size in a rubber or leather suit I want and since small women are preferred in the trade there are quite a few my size. In the last eighteen months many more women seem to be dieing in latex than leather. I wonder why that is? Wearing a dead woman's equipment in which she enticed men is a huge turn-on for me as I’m confident I can wear it better than the original owner. When I’m wearing a suit I peeled off a corpse I think about the fact that she is dead and I’m having mind blowing sex in the rubber (or leather) that she died in. It makes me so much more appreciative to be alive and of being fucked by a lusty man!

Pelvic skills training: A few girls from each class at St Lucy’s are chosen by the faculty to be invited to take confidence training as they reach menarche, which for dancers at St Lucy’s is about 13 or 14 years of age. Alumnae can also request a daughter be considered for this training and the number per year is limited to seven or eight. The training teaches the students to feel comfortable with the changes in their bodies and to make the most of their charms as they begin to blossom into beautiful young women. Beginning that early is a gamble because the girls selected are still developing their adult bodies so there is a real possibility that they will grow too tall or develop other physical characteristics that make them unsuitable for future, more advanced, training and of course that is what the program is all about, a form of leadership succession planning for alumnae. In addition to standard tests the administration looks at the parents of the candidates to try and determine how physically and mentally talented the daughters are and to get some idea of how morally malleable the parents and therefore their children might be. Over a four year period the school feels fortunate if three of the original seven or so have successfully completed the physically and mentally challenging course of study and are ready to move to the next stage of training. The beginning girls selected are kitted out with a basic ‘studio set’: suction cup dildos, Ben Wa balls, ball gag and barre gloves in addition to the condoms and pointe shoes they are already familiar with and, in rare instances vaginal dilators.

Since it's the first of the school year I've been selecting girls from the pool of talent developed during confidence training (described above) for advanced fetish training 16 – 17 y/o 5’0” to 5’5” with not more than B-cup breasts (larger ones get in the way) and at least 4 years of pointe training are minimum requirements. These girls are fitted with their first latex encasement suits, gas masks, rebreather bags and a full line of dildos ans cervical protection for dive-sex. There is a lot of interest in completing this course as the learned skills can provide good walking around money for girls whose families have them on tight allowances. It’s amazing how girls will find sources of income to meet their needs regardless of how penurious their parents are.

Teens and breast implants: At St Lucy’s we try to discourage teens from getting breast implants. The FDA approved implants for women 18 y/o or older but there is no enforcement to prevent younger girls get implants. At St Lucy’s we like a girl to work to develop the body she was given and not depend on augmentation. . That’s because in their teens a woman’s body is still changing and if she is a late bloomer her breasts may naturally develop. Also BAs will eventually need to be replaced and can fail causing breast trauma so they are a source of long term maintenance and possible discomfort or disfigurement. Additionally, studies have shown who women having breast augmentation have a higher rate of suicides, possibly because of low self esteem which frequently leads to having BA in the first place. We try to work with the girls through exercise and dance training to have positive images of the bodies they have and that training will often produces a healthy body image. I don’t think there are any girls in the new group selected for fetish training who have even considered BA which is a good thing.
