“Don’t be mean!” “You shouldn’t say that.” How many times have you heard this in your life? Or, how about this doozy: “if you don’t have something nice to say then you shouldn’t say anything at all.” While that might be good advice for vanilla society, forget all that crap and embrace your inner Mean Girl while you explore erotic humiliation, a very subjective form of play that is not the same for everyone and is taboo for most people. Consensual erotic humiliation oftentimes involves embarrassment, degradation, dehumanization, objectification…a delightful mix of emotions that we normally don’t get to revel in within our daily interactions. It can be quite enjoyable but is, at the same time, an intense and very intimate form of edgeplay that can sting like a whip, burn like fire and cut like a knife. It can be extremely fulfilling and cathartic but is also fraught with emotional dangers for both Top and Bottom. Why would anyone want to play this way? How can you do this safely? What’s the turn-on? Please join Barbie Dahl as she expounds upon a subject that she revels in, get a different perspective and answers to these and other questions, exploring erotic humiliation in its many different forms. Lady Barbie Dahl AKA Antonia [the Yin of the Twins (see thrash)] is a fetish model, BDSM  educator and whip artist, a boy-to-Girl Transformer, a sharp-tongued Humiliatrix and a well known attention whore. She has appeared in many FemDom videos alongside such superior Women as Mistress Trish, Miss Mona Rogers, Amy Brooke, Domina M, VeVe Lane, Goddess Severa and Domina Nix, as well as studios like The NYC Rubberstudio, Doom Maidens, K is for Kink and Rapture. She has also been photographed by such Artists as Barbara Nitke, Mariette Pathy Allen, Efrain Gonzalez, Natasha Gornik and SpecificKink. Antonia works almost exclusively as a submissive and “Damsel in Distress” but lately she has been considering her Dominant side, learning the fine arts of ‘instigating,’ ‘shit stirring’ and ‘piling on’ in her role as a sadistic sidekick to her Dominant Goddesses. She has recently realized and accepted her inner superiority and now identifies as a Sadistic Switch, incorporating this new perspective in the classes she presents on multiple subjects from Crossdressing and the skills involved in being a Woman to Animal Roleplay, from Singletails and Pain Processing to Humiliation et al.

Ever been curious about needles? Have you watched in rapt horror or total fascination and wondered, “Why do people do this as a kink? What does the Top get from it and what is the experience the bottom wants and has as well?” Join us as we talk about the basics of diving into the bloody beginner end of the kink medical play pool. This class will cover kink needle basics: types of needles, safety and health issues, how to safely set up a scene space at play parties, where to stab, materials used, how to take care of your bottom, resources and more. There will be handouts on where to buy supplies and other really neat information. We will also cover safety and motivations for Tops: issues that may arise, how to handle them, and a discussion of how to negotiate and best consent practices for planning a needle scene. Bottoming to needles will be covered as well. There is more than just lying down and taking it! SirusCyn and Simone B. are both knowledgeable needle bottoms and will share their input and advocacy for being a bottom as well. There will be fun demos and some inspirational images of the different styles of needle play, from decorative to the downright bloody extreme, to give the audience a sense of the variety of things done with needle play. Disclaimer: There will be blood during class. Please be aware if you are sensitive to this kind of subject matter, this might not be the class for you. We welcome you to ask for a handout or info outside of class if you are interested. Simone B. (she/her) has a been a lifestyle switch in the NYC kink scene for 5+ years. She is also a professional Dominant and enjoys the crazier bloodier side of the kink scene. She currently co-runs a Women’s Domination party The Goddess Loft and hosts the ongoing medical play party Welcome to the Infirmary. Sirus (she/her), a queer, fat-positive bottom, has been in the NYC kink scene for a little over two years. She has always liked having her blood drawn at the doctor’s, so it’s no surprise that she loves needle play. When not being made to bleed, she can be found receiving sadistic leg/foot rope, getting punched, or snuggling her dogs. Doors open at 7, class begins at 7:30.
