K and Catherine de Sade will be going to FetishCon 10, held this year in Tampa, Florida. It runs August 5 – 8 but I’m sure we will get there early, or stick around afterwards, because there are going to be quite a few wonderful people around that we hope to shoot with. Lots of sexy, kinky, sick and twisted fucks to play with on camera!
If you go to the site and look under “Who’s Appearing?” and then check out “Attending Models” you will find both myself/K and MY LOVE/Catherine de Sade are on the list. Check it out: www.fetishcon.com/modellist.html I’ll be honest with you – at the moment I don’t exactly know what is being required of me, but I don’t care. I’m quite a whore and so is MY LOVE! We are just happy to be attending.
Since I’m being honest here, I’ll go as far as to admit that I know absolutely nothing about FetishCon, or anything that goes on during the few days it is happening. I’m sure there will be plenty of information forced upon me by the time August rolls around, but it’s kind of nice right now to know that I’m committed to something, I just don’t know what.
More on this when I have something else to tell you…

Let’s say you run an adult business. In this adult business, you are enjoying a certain amount of success, but you are, by no means “making it big”. The revenue you bring in from your adult business might pay the bills, and even afford you a few more luxuries than the average person, but you’re not rich and famous. People aren’t clamoring to see what you’re going to do next and their not throwing money at you to finance your newest project. Let us further suggest that you regularly hire models to come to your set and work with you. Without these models, what would your site basically consist of? You’d have the same individual doing the same thing to the same person/people, over and over again. At least with new models, the variety can come from a fresh face, even if it doesn’t come from the action. Let’s face it, there’s only so much you can do in an adult production, and the majority of it has probably already been done before so variety isn’t always in abundance. Chances are, if you’ve been in the industry for a few years you’ve done and redone some of your own unique ideas, if for no other reason than you wanted a break from what is considered “the usual”. I hope we are all in agreement so far.
So, you work with these models. You hurt and humiliate them, and you plan on making your money off of the scenes you do with them. If you are smart, you aren’t just picking no-name men and women, you are choosing to work with people who have a background, a history and possibly a following. If you have any business sense, you are working with people who have fans of their own, and can conceivably bring them (and new revenue) to your business. Doesn’t that make sense?
Let’s say I want to work with two different women on a scene that I hope will make me some money on my website. Do I choose woman A, who has been doing this sort of thing for years, has two of her own sites and a fan base that is to be envied or do I choose woman B, who has little experience, no fans and is just starting out? For the purposes of “good business” I think anyone in their right mind would choose to work with woman A. I know I would, and I believe that’s one of the reasons why a lot of people decide to work with and hire MY LOVE/Catherine de Sade. She’s not some no-name model who is just getting into the business and she has fans that have been following her for years. Working with MY LOVE is probably good for many of these adult, internet-based, BDSM-oriented sites. She brings fans of her own, and makes new ones, every time she works with someone.
Which is why it confounds me that almost NONE of the people she’s worked with have ever taken the time to send us a simple message, and let us know that scenes she did are up, and available for purchase. If MY LOVE had, let’s say, 2000 fans that regularly read our blog, purchased our movies and generally kept an eye on what we were doing, wouldn’t anyone that worked with her want those fans to stop by their site? Isn’t that potential for new customers and more money? I guess not, because rarely, if ever, do we get a heads-up about any releases of any kind. MY LOVE has to, on a regular basis, go back to the sites she’s worked for/with (and that’s no small number!) and see if a scene involving her is currently up, or has been recently released. Sometimes I have to post about scenes that have been up for a while, and this requires that I explain how you have to go halfway down the page before you finally find anything that involves MY LOVE/Catherine de Sade. Pretty lame.
Frankly, I don’t care that it could hurt the sales of the site(s) MY LOVE worked for/with. That is totally their loss, and apparently they can afford it. We just aren’t made that way I guess. The people we work with get credit, over and over again, because that seems like the right thing to do. You give, even when you don’t need to, and you hope that comes back to you some day. Just about every time we blog about someone we’ve worked with, we provide a direct link to their site, or at least give some contact information. We welcome traffic from other sites, and try to send it to people who we feel deserve our promotion, but I guess that’s not important to most of them. Banner exchange was easy and swift, but that’s about as far as anybody has gone. Of course, there have been exceptions to this, but generally speaking we receive little or no contact once MY LOVE has worked for someone. They might write and ask her to come back and shoot again, or invite her to participate on a discussion board, but they don’t say a word when movies she took part in are for sale. I don’t understand that…

While we were attending Deacon X’s Fetish Night last Sunday I had the pleasure of running into the staff photographer. He had burned the photos from our January performance onto a CD so that we could have the raw, higher-quality images. Here are a few examples of the action he captured.
Since I can’t seem to get the video from the performance to upload to FetLife, or here on our blog, this will have to keep you happy for now. We are very eager to share the footage from our performance with everyone, but it just isn’t happening for some reason.
Here is the information I have on the photographer that took the pictures that night. His name is John, his business e-mail is Deviltekphotography@gmail, his MySpace is MySpace.com\deviltek_photography and he is on FetLife under the profile name "John". Go figure.
I'll stop interrupting and let the pictures tell their story...

Below you will find a strangely worded request from someone who, I'm guessing, found out about us through Clips4Sale. Once again, I want to stress that I am not making fun of the people who write to us and ask us to do these things. It must take courage for some of them...
Here is the whole thing:
"Hello and congratulations for your store.
I have one very important ..
There would be grateful if you manage to satisfy
My dream:
I would like to see in a clip masturbation performed with the right
foot just above the cock.
the foot must support all over the cock.
I would like the camera to take the actor man (pov).
The camera has to put the girl who makes the job only with his
right
foot (bare or with a short white socks).
The actress has to sit before the man between his legs
(the man with the legs and the woman sitting in front of him).
It would be nice to see the human orgasm.
For the duration of the clip you have free choice.
Communication expect the price of the clip. (if you can do)
I pay by credit card.
Send some sample pictures to
facilitate the implementation of the clip. Thank you very much."
My particular favorites are "It would be nice to see the human orgasm" and "Send some sample pictures to facilitate the implementation of the clip." I can just see this man hunched over a Whatever-language-he-speaks to English dictionary, trying to compose this letter. Nobody that speaks English "... facilitate(s) the implementation..." of anything, and even if they did, I bet you they wouldn't ask to see the "... human orgasm".
We had to turn this request down. He basically wanted me to hold the camera while MY LOVE sat opposite me, but between my legs, giving me what amounts to a foot job with her right foot. Not only would I probably have a difficult time reaching human orgasm, but I don't think the clip would sell much on our site, so we can't be wasting our time. Now, if he wanted me to brutalize her in some way, then maybe do some simulated rape action, I think we'd find the time to not only shoot the request, but maybe go through a few practice runs...

MY LOVE and I had another wonderful time Sunday, at Deacon X’s Fetish Night. This is going to be a long post, so settle in...
At 9pm I drove to Oregon City and picked up my friend Dewaine. I’d told him that fetish attire was pretty much mandatory for the evening, and he did not disappoint me. He used to regularly look very “punk” but now is a pretty normal, average dresser. It was strange to see my friend dressed like that again, but also very familiar. This may sound strange, but I think it allowed me to relax a little.
We returned to the new townhouse MY LOVE and I share, where I got dressed up for the evening. She had pretty much completed her “getting ready” before I’d even left to get Dewaine, so by the time we got back she was looking magnificent. I should have taken a damn picture! I dressed, added jewelry and business cards, and we were on our way. Arriving a little earlier than we had the previous month, we found the place was pretty empty. It didn’t take long for it to fill up though, and next thing you know the fire handler was out on the dance floor, doing her thing. This time it was Julie Spanks, who also owns a local dungeon that MY LOVE and I are considering renting for a future event. She did a wonderful job and we got to speak with her briefly before she disappeared into the darkness.
Knowing how much MY LOVE likes to dance – or at least how much she wants to dance with me – I did my best to get drunk right away. As I said in a previous post, Dewaine doesn’t really need any alcohol to let loose on the dance floor, and MY LOVE really doesn’t either. She’ll make sure and have a drink or two before a performance, or when we try to get her gang fucked by a bunch of strangers, but otherwise it’s just not a big deal for her to get uninhibited in this way. I can fuck in front of strangers, or brutalize my girlfriend while a group of people watch and cheer me on, but I still feel self-conscious when I’m dancing. Even at home, alone, it feels kind of strange. I worry that someone will see me, or catch me, and I guess deep down that means something I am not eager to admit or identify. Maybe it’s something I’ll examine, because I used to be able to go out and dance and not feel this way when I was younger. But enough of that craziness…
I know that Deacon X is very happy when the performers don’t really interrupt the flow, but the main “act” of the evening barely even registered on our screens. At roughly midnight, there was no announcement or fanfare of any kind. A male/female couple stepped out onto the stage and you could tell right away that fire was going to be involved, by the supplies that were being laid out near them. At first, all we saw was the back of the man, as he appeared to just stand there and stare into the eyes of the woman. When he did move aside we could all see that he had slipped a few needles into the flesh above her breasts. Then there was more watching of the man’s behind before he stepped aside just enough so that we could see he’d put more needles in. They did not acknowledge the crowd and were not given the opportunity to really feed off of those who had stopped to watch them. Had anyone gasped in shock, nobody would have heard it over the music, but had it been quiet we could have heard one another’s exclamations and such. For them I think it was a missed opportunity. What we saw, unfortunately, was a lot of the back of the man as he slid needles into the woman’s chest, and I think her lips. I admit I had begun dancing again, the place was dark, and they seemed really far away from us. Certainly too far away for what they wanted show us, in my opinion.
When the fire did happen, it was a bit of a disappointment. The man pretty much kept striking the woman’s chest lightly, with a lit “baton”, and he occasionally ran it along her bare, outstretched arms. There was little visible emotion. She didn’t move or do much more than tightly smile and look at him out of the corner of her eye, and then the next thing I knew, they were gone. There was no grand finale’, or anything like it, they just seemed to stop doing what they were doing and walk off the stage. I wish we had been allowed a more intimate moment for their performance. Maybe with the fire and the possibility of blood it was just too risky.
As before, the staff made MY LOVE and I feel welcome. We saw Johnny briefly but he seemed busy and a little harried. I know that he wanted to talk to us in private, and we wanted to push him to reveal details of the controversy our performance caused, but the opportunity never seemed to present itself. By the time he was done working, and maybe available to talk, the three of us were leaving to go get some food. As you know, we don’t normally stay up this late, or drink a whole lot, so we needed to eat and then go home and pass out. Right before we left I ran into the Deacon, who’d been absent most of the evening, and he pointed out that they were showing footage from our performance on a screen by the dance floor. It only played for a short period of time, and stopped short of the body punching we did, but it was surreal to stand out there and see MY LOVE and I up on a pretty big screen, for all to see. Simply gratifying!
We left, stopped and had some food at a late night diner, and then made our way back to the townhouse. I know that Dewaine was hoping for and kind of expecting to see some sex go down in front of him but MY LOVE and I were both too tired, and inebriated, to do anything except go to sleep. I don’t feel sorry for the boy, he gets to watch his friends do stuff all the time. After I dropped him off the next morning I came home to find MY LOVE “sleeping” right outside our bathroom door, upstairs in our bedroom. She chose to “fall asleep” there because we recently installed a huge mirror that she knew damn well I would stare into as I fucked her unresponsive body. Love that girl of mine!
As before, we would both like to thank the Deacon X staff for making us feel welcome and “favored”. We appreciate being on the guest list this month (at the TOP no less! – thanks SarahJ!) and getting V.I.P. passes for next month. Hopefully work and the travel associated with it will allow us to attend again in March, but if not we will surely be seeing everyone again come April. Our performance is probably going to cause a bit of controversy this time too, and we hope to hear details about it this time. For now, we will leave you with a reminder/shameless plug regarding Deacon X’s Fetish Night. It happens the third Sunday of every month, at Berbati’s Pan in Portland, Oregon, and you can find out much more information by visiting the following: www.deaconxfetishnight.com
As mentioned before, showing up for our performance in April and introducing yourself is definitely encouraged. We are happy to meet our fans and get to know them a little bit, so don’t be shy.
