It was a slow lazy day. I slept in, after staying up all night learning more about photoshop so I can work on an ad.
I re-arranged the whole house. I cleared out most of the first dungeon except a large selection of crops, quirts, and canes, a torture chair, bondage table, and a stock cube.
In each one of my six rooms I have more than what I have seen in over half the dungeons I have been in that claimed to be fully equipped.
Funny, I have seen many dungeons people called fully equipped. One of them was a saw horse, and a mattress with a medical exam table. The equipment had been painted lilac with house paint, and was obviously poor quality and never cleaned or conditioned. The hook on the cieling was unsafe, and open, so a sub could tip toe and slip off of the hook.
What makes a dungeon qualify as fully equipped? I had assumed that all fully equipped dungeons had St. Andrew’s crosses…but I met this one girl from L.A. who said that it was a rare piece in all the dungeons she had played in.
And when will I feel I have what I feel is a complete collection of toys? I am dying for a cathering wheel, a rack, a mummy board, old world coffin, bed of nails and so much more. I lost my states coffin in the move from Houston, as well as my infantalism stuff, a few restraints, paddles, and more.
I know that all these things aren’t necessary for a great scene…you can have a really great scene with a spatula, your fingernails, and an ice cube…just as good a scene, and sometimes better than with a million toys…but I feel I want to offer the most to myself, my slaves, my clients, and the other Mistresses that have been known to rent my dungeon.
So what is the “end all-be all” of dungeons?
Paddles in New York City, or MsDemmie’s lovely BB&D in the UK.
I can’t wait to see what you’ve done to the place since I was last there.
The old Sanctuary in Atlanta.
I frequent Paddles in NYC. The dungeon itself is rather simple, but it does have everything you can possibly need. The great bonus is that they can open the back rooms, which they rent from Pandora’s Box (A Pro Dungeon) Their rooms are beautiful.
I do not think that project like that can ever be called complete, because you can always improve…but that is the beauty of it.
To me, my senses have to be transformed.
I don’t want to see a white mattress cover, on a mattress.
It has to be lit in a way that transforms the room.
If it’s a St. Andrews or wheel, with stocks, make it cold and dark. I want to smell leather, or grease, even musty would work. Gothic.
Victorian punishment: decorated red, velvet and lavish and warm. The smell of roses or lavender.
Medical: Greenish florescent light, cold and hard, the smell of iodine or alcohol.
Transforming the senses adds so much to the whole scene. Being tied up and getting an enema, and smelling brownies baking just doesn’t work.
Now if he’s been a naughty boy, and has to be paddled and sent to his room, brownies baking works.
What type of “rack” do you want?
My brother made a set of Stocks for a Midevil Recreation group we belong in. I’m sure a rack wouldn’t be too much more difficult unless you were wanting one with a wheel to stretch people on.
I would think you wouldn’t miss your infantilism stuff, I remember a post where you mentioned that you weren’t taking that kind of session any more.
Of course, I guess there might be times when you might want the option to regress someone, even if that’s not where the scene started.
I really don’t miss infantalism…I must admit, I have enjoyed me and my friends being infantalist and making their boyfriends baby sit.
I want a stretching rack
Yeah, I use red lighting in every room but my class room and my medical room.
I realize the rooms are beautiful, but they seem to lack function.
Heh, that sounds like a fun afternoon to me, anyway 🙂
A dungeon? A dungeon needs dank! Don’t tell me you forgot the dank. How can it be a dank dungeon without the dank?
