That New Year Buzz

Reflections and tour updates

Happy new year, perverts!

Whether you observe your endings and beginnings according to the Gregorian calendar or not, you have to admit there’s something buzzy and energizing about the new year. Call me a romantic, but the universal sense of hope in both the personal and global capacity for change is a beautiful thing!

I’m not one for resolutions, but I’m nothing if not intentional. I feel aligned, excited, and focused as I look to 2026, with strong connections to my subs, a confidence that 5 (!!) years in the industry brings, and a community of s*x workers that I love very much. This year I want to delve more into long-term D/s dynamics, engage in more grotesque perversion, have more immersive sessions (overnights! vacations! domestic getaways!), and level up my hard skills. Want to be a part of my journey? Come say hi ;)

I, The Archivatrix

A selection of “tart cards” from my collection. These small cards were created for the purpose of advertising s*xual services, often found in phone booths and other public places, especially in the UK. These are most likely from the 90s-2000s

If you’ve been following me for the past few years, you’ve probably noticed that I love books (an understatement), especially ones related to kinky history, s*x work, and FemDom. As a trained archivist, I believe in the power of historical preservation as a form of resistance against cultural marginalization and digital deplatforming. I’ve always collected books that interested me, but in the past year I’ve made a concerted effort to cultivate my collecting, making it an intentional practice with a focused scope. Thanks to help from my devoted book bitch, I’ve been able to collect some really special, rare pieces. I post about my collection a lot on my work Twitter and Bluesky (which you should be following me on!), but social media isn’t always the best platform for historical education. People also always ask me how they can access my collection which, for now, just lives in my home. I’m brainstorming ways to make things more accessible while also respecting the copyright of these materials and the privacy of those whose images are reflected in the magazines and books.

All of this to say: watch this space! I have some fun ideas up my sleeve this year to make my Archivatrix dreams come true. In the meantime, if you’re a fellow worker and you’d like to access my collection, feel free to reach out and we can figure something out. If you’re an adoring sub who wants to support my book collecting, you can always order something off my wishlist or send me $$ with the simple caption of “Books”.

Boston Tour

My first tour of the year will be in one of my favorite places to play! I will be in Boston from February 6-8th. My lovely regulars are keeping me busy on this trip, so I only have a few spots left, but I would love to play with a couple new people. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally pull the trigger and play with me, this is it! Fill out my form to be considered.

New Year, New Holes

The energy I’m trying to bring into the new year, and I hope you are too <3

That’s all I’ve got for you for now. I hope this year, you feel brave enough to go out and get everything you want in life—and perhaps that means our paths will cross… Otherwise, follow me on social media, subscribe to my newsletter, and next time you feel aroused by something that disgusts you, just know that I’m thinking of you 💋
