Movie Review: My Mistress


The movie My Mistress starring Emmanuelle Beart (Mission Impossible) was released at the end of 2014 as an independent film that had received critical acclaim at the Melbourne International Film Festival. I remember seeing the preview on twitter through the movie's twitter account (@MyMistressMovie) and as a fetishist it was very visually stunning with the fetishwear alone, but the truncated S&M scenes that were weaved throughout the preview were a nice hook that would bring most in but leave them unsatisfied if that was all they were looking for. This movie was a nice trip into the minds of two people, both in different stations in life dealing with different types of pain. As the dominatrix Maggie, Beart told the young Charlie that her job was to make others forget about their pain, but little did he know the pain in her heart as he struggled with his feelings for her and his own pain. 




Overview:
Charlie, a sixteen year old was very independent but had no idea of the blows that life dealt him in the span of one week. As he confronted these problems as best as a teenager could, Maggie appeared and he could not hide his fascination with her. He was very stalkerish in his approach as he first broke into her house as she was dealing with a submissive in her dungeon. His fascination turned higher as his fear kicked in and he proceeded to answer an ad that Maggie posted for a gardener. Maggie was not very happy to see him at her gate and she ordered him to go away, but he persisted and won her trust to allow him to work for her. There were ground rules and he followed them and managed to skate around them slightly. Maggie later invited him in for lunch as he worked one day and over conversation, it became apparent that Charlie wanted what Maggie could give him although he didn't know it at the time. As the movie progressed, they became closer and each revealed their secrets that linked them in their journey together but life, moving forward as a teen and Maggie moving forward in regaining her "vanilla life" became more clear to each. Other obstacles entered their realm as they became close, but those obstacles were signs (outside of the fact this grown woman was in a S&M relationship with a teenager) that each had seen each other through one of life's rough seasons.

At first, I was not good with the idea that the lead male character was sixteen years old (from a writing standpoint, obviously any grown woman with half a brain would NOT think this type of relationship would be a good idea) but it worked. If the character of Charlie were say a twenty year old, I think that would have muddled the outcome and made the movie clunky. I thought the relationship that Maggie had with a man who was close to her and her problem wasn't in my opinion made very clear but overall the movie was very good. I give it a 4 out of 5, check it out. Movie is available on Netflix and iTunes.

Still here after 10 years

Hello everyone, it has been a VERY long time since I posted here. It's strange, I feel like NO ONE blogs anymore in the podcast age. But maybe this can still be a great way to get my thoughts out, reflect on where I am in 2024 as a leather loving, BDSM practicing fetishist and where I want to go. I was thinking about doing a podcast but I need more time to think about it, it may happen or it may not. To be quite honest, I am surprised I am still on this journey considering where I have been and the highs lows I have experienced. It's the lows that I reflect on a lot and that gets me to thinking about when this journey of exploration may end. But for now, I am grateful for the path I am on.  As I look at my last entry, I last wrote 10 years ago. We have been on a collective ride since that time. I've been serving a beautifully cruel and seductive Mistress . Mistress Fontaine means so much to me, She has molded me and has solidified my devotion as Her leather slut toy. Her fi...

Foxy Ladies (in leather)

Hello all, long time no blog. Life has a funny way of keeping you from things that you want to do in order to do the things you need to do. I'm in no way a fashion observer, I really don't keep up too much with trends I only notice fashion has changed when I can't find clothes that I like or fit properly. Now it seems the trend in men's clothing is slim fit. I am way too built to be wearing tight clothes on a day to day basis. Now when it comes to fetish wear, the tighter the better! I feel that enhances the feel, sensation and the fun that you are having alone or with someone else! Leather fashion has come and gone over the years and now it seems to have snuck back into mainstream fashion and it's being worn by all types of women of all ages. Back in the day, Joan Collins was so mean and bitchy on Dynasty but she wore the hell out of some leather, as well as a young Heather Locklear (who continues to wear it and look good!) And now today, I found that legend...

Submissive, present yourself well

Good day friends, I thought that today I would blog briefly because this space has been so sorely neglected! Not much has changed in my world, the earth keeps spinning and I keep loving leather! I feel like I say so much on Twitter these days that maybe there is not much I can say on this space. But 140 characters only allows you to say a lot with so little, therefore you have to be savvy with your words. I think over the last few years, I am beginning to approach that level of savvy required for a tweeter to be effective but I have so much farther to go! Since I last blogged, my social media has expanded, contracted, expanded and contracted again. I think the last last downsize my be temporary for a while. I need a new phone and I am trying to figure out how that may happen. But Twitter is still @buspimp (main account) and @thepervertpope (back-up). My tumblr is still up, not as active on it but you can check out all that i'm perving over. 'm also on Instagram as Buspimp. Fe...
