THE JUDGES DISCUSS....

“I advocate glamour. Every day. Every minute”
Dita Von Teese

The ultimate kinky showgirl ... what will our submissive contestants from Ms160's Forced Feminization group make of this theme?

The judges adore it. Like Dita Von Teese, the judges of this latest contest extravaganza - Mistress160, Miss Bonnie and Mistress Amor - love the glamor of burlesque, of the striptease: "There’s sparkle", mused Miss Bonnie from our sponsor CollarNCuffs, when the judges discussed the proposed theme of this contest:

There’s glitter ...wicked idea ... ‘Burlesque‘ I love it, so sexy and ultra Femme ... I think burlesque, my mind drifts immediately conjuring up the sirens of the past like the Ziegfeld follies and Gypsy Rose Lee, my childhood idols ... Gypsy was best known for her ‘intelligent sexy alluring strip tease’ style of performance ... [she] was the legendary woman who told the police during a raid at the famous Minsky's burlesque house, "I wasn't naked. I was completely covered by a blue spotlight"

"what a wonderful idea Mistress 160 I don't think you could have found a more ultra Femme and sexy contest idea ''

Mistress Amor agreed:

"I am dying to see pasties, feathers, pretty clothes, jewels (plastic ones will do) … and for those of you who dare, and we know that you all are shameless, this is what Dita Von Teese says on wearing lingerie: “It puts the tease in strip tease”

"Do I need to say more? Any glamorous strippers out there?"

Are there, boys? But as Mistress Amor observed:

"But burlesque is not only about glamour and strip tease it is also about drama, comedy … acting. Whatever pose you choose for your pictures bring your character alive. The judges want to be entertained! Give us a great burlesque show"

And that's what this contest is all about ... "give us a show boys", demands Mistress160:

"this will be a cross dresser's dream of an event ... entertain us ...entrance us ... dance for us ... dress for us ... undress for us ... make us desire you ... make us laugh with you ... show us your hidden talents ... your pretty can-can stockings, with pasties over your nipples .... show us your desires to be the ultimate showgirl ... and add your own kink or fetish (high heels, perhaps, lol) into it somewhere if you like!"

A BIT ABOUT BURLESQUE

So what exactly is a showgirl?

"A dancer or performer in a stage entertainment show", says Wiki. Which is a totally useless description if ever I heard one. Thank God we have all seen photos of the amazing dancers at venues like Folies Bergère and Moulin Rouge in Paris, the latter famous for it's Can Can, captured here by artist Toulouse Lautrec:


These venues pioneered semi-nude dancing - at the Moulin Rouge in 1907 an actress called Germaine Aymos entered dressed only in three very small shells - and tableaux vivants. These days we are used to more production line shows. In Las Vegas there are so many these days (such as Jubilee! ) but who could forget the showgirls of The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies in Palm Springs who's chorus line is of showgirls well over their fiftieth year:


If they can still look amazing, just imagine how the contestants of this contest will look!

We could have called this the Ultimate Ecdysiast Contest. "Ecdysiast" is the dictionary term for a "striptease artist", a performer who provides erotic entertainment by undressing to music. But it just didn't have the right ring as a title, LOL. Traditionally, the "striptease artists" of burlesque created elaborate themes and costumes to add fantasy to their shows and find new ways to undress to music.


Today this survives as "new burlesque", says Wiki:

"a revival and updating of the traditional burlesque performance. Though based on the traditional Burlesque art, the new form encompasses a wider range of performance styles; Neo-burlesque acts can be anything from classic striptease to modern dance to theatrical mini-dramas to comedic mayhem"

What's important perhaps for our contestants to remember - or not, lol - is that this contemporary form is focused more on the "tease" in "striptease" than the "strip". This is a famous quote mentioned by Mistress Amor by the queen of modern burlesque, Dita Von Teese, who's style as Miss Bonnie says, "has put a modern edge to classic burlesque".

A BIT ABOUT DITA VON TEASE

Wiki writes:

"Von Teese is well known for her fascination with 1940s cinema and classic retro style. This began at a young age and was fostered by her mother ... a fan of old, Golden-era Hollywood films... [she] began her career in a local strip club when she was eighteen. Disappointed with the lack of originality in all the other strippers' acts ... she began glamour modeling before she eventually became a fetish model. Her retro pin-up look, frequently emulating Bettie Page in photo shoots, set her apart from most other fetish models.

"Von Teese ... is frequently dubbed "the Queen of Burlesque" in the press ... In her own words, she "puts the tease back into striptease" with long, elaborate dance shows with props and characters, often inspired by 1930s and 1940s musicals and films.

"Some of her more famous dances have involved a carousel horse, a giant powder compact, a filigree heart and a clawfoot bathtub with a working shower head. Her feather fan dance, inspired by burlesque dancer Sally Rand, featured the world's largest feather fans, now on display in Hollywood's Museum Of Sex. Her signature show features a giant martini glass.

Dita Performing In Martini Glass

Dita is not just a showgirl, many of her projects have a kinky, fetish edge, which of course relates to the theme of our contest:

"Von Teese achieved some level of recognition in the fetish world as a tightlacer ... [she] appeared on a number of fetish magazine covers, including Bizarre and Marquis [and] appeared, bound and partially suspended, on the cover of Midori's book, The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage...

You can see why Dita makes such a perfect example of a kinky showgirl. We are sure she will equally inspire you! And because Dita loves corsets so much - indeed, is a serious tightlacer - our sponsor CollarNCuffs has kindly donated a corset as a prize for the ultimate winner:


Now that is a prize worth pursuing...

So how do our contestants become kinky showgirls? There's a wealth of ideas in the information above. And many other sites will provide inspiration. You will find more about Dita and photographs of her fabulous style on her official website here. It's a pay site, but there are plenty of free pages you can explore. You can also watch Dita on YouTube here and here. And, because I cannot resist - and because this is why they call it the art of the striptease, guys, lol:



You can find lots of wonderful sites featuring showgirl costumes, like this one. And of course plenty of places online sell them. However we hope our contestants will only look at those sites for ideas and assemble at least part of their final costume themselves. Because you don't need to spend much money to create something pretty amazing from your local crafts store. And there are plenty of places online with idea to help (how to create a showgirl costume / how to make a big showgirl headdress / etc). After all, a stunning showgirl may only wear her panties and pasties ... it's all in the presentation, how you make the judges believe that YOU are the Ultimate Kinky Showgirl!

NEVER ENTERED ONE OF MS160'S CONTESTS
(BUT WOULD LIKE TO?)

"the whole competition was a blast!..

"i really encourage anybody who is even a little bit curious to enter the next one. they're very fun, very low pressure, and a great way to be part of the community and meet new people. thanks again to Mistress 160, the mastermind of the whole operation"

(veritas - Winner of Best Ass in Babydoll Contest)

"what a fun time to be expressive and creative and have fun at the same time. I certainly would like to encourage all the tarty sluts out there to participate in the next one ... Good luck to everyone and come on and have some fun!"

(mont202 - Winner of Princess Contest)

"you could feel the joy emanating from the other contestants as they described their shopping / picture taking experiences. Very positive feelings ...

"i felt all kinds of emotions during this contest and i embraced them and watched others go through similar feelings on the topic. No answers, no coming down on one side or the other ... It was bizarre and different and provocative. A rich experience. i couldn't ask for more".

(Destiny's chance - winner of Special Artistic Award)

Ms160 writes:

We'd love you to join this contest. Truly.

As you can see from what other contestants have written above, everyone has a really great time. There are no "losers" in my contests. You get to meet - and interact with - some great people, including the Domme Judges and other members of MDS' Forced Fem group. You also get to challenge yourself a little - purchasing your outfit, taking the photos, posting them etc...

You don't need to have an owner or a Mistress, its possible to take your pix yourself and if you are stuck for ideas you can discuss what you want to wear / how you plan to look in your photos with other members.

Past contests include the Princess Contest (won by mont202 as Xena, on the left) and Best Babydoll Outfit (won by quall from Turkey). The current contest, featuring a burlesque / striptease theme, promises to be especially fun.

Any questions?

CALLING ALL AUSSIES

Sorry to shout but I need your attention

I just read this on Ars Technica Ars Technica

To summarise:

"Australians may not be able to opt out of the government's Internet
filtering initative like they were originally led to believe...
Australia moved forward with its plans despite a widespread public
outcry and began testing the system in Tasmania in February of this
year. At the time, the Australian Communications and Media Authority
(ACMA) said that the filter would be enabled by default and that
consumers would have to request unfiltered connectivity if they
wished to opt-out of the program. Well, it turns out now that those
promises were only partially true. Internode network engineer Mark
Newton told Computerworld that users are able to opt out of
the "additional material" blacklist - which targets content
inappropriate for children - but not the main blacklist that filters
what the Australian government determines is illegal content. "This
is the way the testing was formulated, the way the upcoming live
trails will run, and the way the policy is framed; to believe
otherwise is to believe that a government department would go to the
lengths of declaring that some kind of Internet content is illegal,
then allow an opt-out", Newton said. "Illegal is illegal and if there
is infrastructure in place to block it, then it will be required to
be blocked - end of story." A spokesperson for the Australian
Communications Minister seemed to confirm this revation by saying
that the filters would be required for all Australian citizens." So
apart from the speed hit the internet would take, filters could mean
that content deemed illegal would be banned. This includes: " No
depiction of violence, sexual violence, sexualised violence or
coercion is allowed in the category. It does not allow sexually
assaultive language. Nor does it allow consensual depictions which
purposefully demean anyone involved in that activity for the
enjotment of viewers. Fetishes such as body piercing, application of
substances such as candle wax,"golden showers", bondage, spanking or
fisting are not permitted."

Would Blogger or my own personal site CollarNcuffs.com then become a banned site, for instance, as it has
photos of the above activities? the answer is YES

Electronic Frontiers have set up a site about this
http://nocleanfeed.com/index.html
which explains actions you can
take. Have a look...I urge you all to NOT stick your head in the sand

heres the link again
http://nocleanfeed.com/index.html

Aussie's please cross post this where ever you can, this effects more than
our 'porn' This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars
and slow down Internet access.

Despite being almost universally condemned by the public, ISPs, State
Governments, Media and censorship experts, Communications Minister
Stephen Conroy is determined to force this filter into your home.
Don't let him!

Take action now, every little bit helps
heres what you can do

We look smart so now its your turn.

HOW TO ENTER
To enter the competition all you have to is write either a Femdom story/poem or a ‘how to’ page that can used in the resource section…..Simple hey!.
I just want to give stuff away to celebrate So I‘m being very flexible with the format.

Your entry/s must your own original material and not published else where.
Entries may include photos and/or art work. use your imagination and have fun with your entry/s. Stories, poems and resource pages are great, but dressed up with some pics WOW now, that’s got to get our attention. This is your chance to shine and show us all how clever, and creative you are.

All pictures (if added) to entry/s must be your own original content (or Creative Commons copyright) and must be placed and linked from your personal album.
(if you are unsure on how to do this contact admin)

SOME IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS:

Write a Femdom story it could be real or just a fantasy you have.

Write a Femdom ode or poem. Poems may even be dedicated to your partner.

Why not write a Femdom story and include some personal pictures or art works showing ‘just‘ what happened, or use pics to set the scene.

You could recreate that CBT scene you had, or dream off, maybe even give instructions if story writing is not your thing.

Or how mistress has you chastity, what CB’s are, how they work, the impact on the mind, body, relationship

Or how she likes you to dress. Do you have advise on clothing selections or ‘how too’ instructions for ‘forced Femme’ maybe corsets are you thing, how do you care for them, find the right sizing, correct lacing, what’s the history of corsets?

Maybe your good at giving a manicure, manicure or sensual massage...instructions and pics on the process could make for interesting resource page.

Recourse page entries need to be instructional , factual, or informative, or at the least ’food for thought’

have you made a toy or planning on making a toy. Why not include photos of your progress and finished item.
Good with rope? What about a step by step instruction page with pictures.
Got a Femdom game you play? Instructions would be a wonderful addition.

The limits are only your imagination.
Imaginative entries attract attention, attention gets you prizes.
What are you wanting for…go on get creative!!!

Dominant Damsels Birthday

Born on April 22, 1923, in Nashville, Tennessee

With locks as dark as midnight and a smile as bright as day, Bettie Page was much more than a beautiful pinup model, she was simply the best. A legend as much today as during her modeling days, every facet of Bettie's life and personality captures the interest and devotion of the thousands of fans that followed her career until the day of her mysterious disappearance.

Bettie's numerous contradictions undoubtedly added to her charismatic personality. Nice and naughty, shy and daring, simple and exotic, Bettie shone with a freshness never before seen in the modeling industry. Without elaborate props, costumes, or set-dressings, Bettie produced some of the most beautiful shots to ever grace the covers of hundreds of magazines. Bettie's smoothly tanned skin, deep blue eyes and coal-black hair with her trademark bangs, were enough inspiration to spark the imagination of even the least experienced photographers. Her "girl next door" look and innocent smile only complemented that explosive combination of features.

Through the 1980s and the 1990s, Bettie Page re-surged as a modeling icon. The media, intrigued by her mysterious disappearance launched a countrywide search for Bettie. Comic books soon featured characters that resembled Bettie, contemporary artists such as Olivia, Dave Stevens, and Robert Blue immortalized their idol with their powerful images. Today, Bettie is enjoying her private life with her family.

Bettie's undeniable influence is present still today in fashion, films, and magazines just to name a few. The dark-haired girl from Nashville has become a living legend, a modern icon, a symbol of beauty and femininity that transcends ordinary standards. In the heart of her adoring fans, Bettie will forever remain the queen of pinup.

Saratoga wrote the below

For quite some time, I suppose the salient characteristic of my approach to life

is to explore new intellectual, emotional and/or personal terrain while

leaving behind things which are no longer useful or necessary. A graduate

school friend once remarked on my ability to continually change and reshape

myself according to my current needs and planned explorations.

Thus, like Nina, describing what I consider to be a hallmark of my life is also pretty

easy. The concept was instantly clear- it just took a little effort to get the exact wording right.

My six-word memoir:

Ever Moving Forward Never Looking Back







Forever:

because I know I’ve meet my soul mate for forever.



Moving:

I never stop moving. Moving either as in movement sake or moving house is always ever present on my mind. Riding moving with the road.





Forward:

I love the direction my life has taken. When I was in my early 20’s I never imagined life could take me where it has. I still have many more years and wonderful adventures and travels planed. Standing still you forget to learn. Still to me means stagnating.





Never:

I have this list of ‘Never’

never do ‘this’ or ‘that‘, this year I decided I decided to increase moving, better the forward directions I’m taking and turn some of those never do’s into must conquer and do’s and add to my never have to conquer again list





Looking:

I’m always looking for new ways, new adventures, new toys, new skills. I always tell my boys you never know what you’ll find unless you looking around you. Stop looking and things pass you by.





Back:

a place from back there that’s gone. A person from back there that’s gone. A family from back there that’s gone. A past that shaped me into a person Forever Moving Forward Never Looking Back.

I’ve picked this picture because it’s my new toy, it sort of links my past to my present plus give me ‘movement’ I grew up on the right side of tracks but choose to hang out on the other side. My life was full of bikes, subbiebikers, and misadventures. I seek adrenaline and they gave it too me. As I’ve aged this part of me kept returning…the bikers are long gone now but that addiction remains. I guess no matter how much we change and grow over the years something’s of our past never do. Hey at least now I can wear more leathers ;-)



I’m choosing not tag five, as reading back through most of the bloggers have already been tagged LOL
