May 1, 2019 @ 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM Tongue Sharper Than Your Teeth – Erotic Humiliation with Lady Barbie Dahl The Alchemical, Studio D 104 West 14th street, New York, NY, United States "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 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.
