         <description><![CDATA[<p>Barbara Nitke on her BDSM photography:</p>
<blockquote><p> The people I have photographed over those years have given me an extraordinary gift. They have allowed me to be a part of their world in a way that I could have never conceived. Every couple I’ve photographed has taught me something new about the nature of the erotic impulse, about sexual desire, about humanity.</p><p>Above all, they’ve taught me that no matter how we’re wired to express love, true freedom is in having the courage to be who we are. </p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>"I'm really adamant about explaining where it comes from in your heart," she said on the Sun video, purportedly shot in a hotel in New York.</p></blockquote>
<p>There's no doubt that it will fuel the fantasies among men for whom she's the number one dominatrix fantasy.

         <title>Mistress Jenny Celerier</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Jenny Celerier</strong> of the British edition of The Apprentice found a connection between kink and commerce:</p>

<p><br />
<blockquote><p>Dresses in PVC, as a policewoman or dominatrix to whip and spank some of her "naughtier clients" into submission or at least signing on the dotted line.</p></blockquote></p>

<p><a href="http://www.people.co.uk/news/tm_headline=i-ve-often-done-the-business-to-close-a-deal&method=full&objectid=20414196&siteid=93463-name_page.html" title="Apprentice  Jenny Celerier  how she shamelessly offers sex to businessmen to clinch big deals.">Secret Sex Weapon That Made Apprentice Bitch Jenny A Top Salesgir</a></p>

<blockquote><p>But Jenny has always loved dominating people—and even had a weird S&M affair with a married man she met at a sales conference three years ago. For 18 months they booked a hotel room once a fortnight to act out a kinky role-play.</p>

<p> ... </p>
 
<p> "He was about 15 years older than her but she used to verbally humiliate him and make him crawl around the room.
</p>
<p>"He worked in the sex industry and this is what he liked. And to be honest, Jenny enjoyed playing the role—after all she was the one in control."

         <title>Venus in Furs as a Play</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>In Austalia Neal Harvey has Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's <em>Venus in Furs</em> into a play:</p>

<blockquote><p>"That is all rather tame compared with what has developed in the past century. We have uncovered the emotional rawness in the relationship when the couple move into unknown territory," he says. "It's tragic because they love each other but can't live with each other."</p>

<p>... the play, which he also describes as more an exploration of a relationship than an examination of a fetish. "The world of BDSM is way outside my experience but I can understand the power struggle going on. Severin and Wanda push the boundaries but anyone can recognise the negotiations happening about the particular roles within the relationship."</p></blockquote>

         <title>I Need Some Discipline Tonight</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Janet Jackson femsub?" src="http://www.fetishpopculture.com/sexy-images/janet-jackson-femsub.jpg" height="322" width="300" /><br />Submissive Janet?</p>

<p>I suspect fans of <em>Rhythm Nation</em> and <em>Control</em> likely saw Janet Jackson as a dominatrix if they were using kinky filters. On her new CD she's the bottom.</p>

<blockquote><p>On the title track of her new <em>Discipline</em> (Island Def Jam) album, over a loop of heavy breathing and Prince-ly slow-grinding synth-funk, Janet Jackson coos, "Take out your frustrations on me."</p></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://www.newsday.com/services/newspaper/printedition/tuesday/partii/ny-etdrops5590607feb26,0,5544014.column" title="Pop star Janet Jackson as femsub.">Janet Jackson's latest CD <em>Discipline</em></a></p>

<blockquote><p>On the masochistic title tune, Janet begs for punishment. What the naughty girl really hopes is to get back to being the chart dominatrix that she once was.</p></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/reviews/2008-02-25-jackson-discipline_N.htm" title="Janet Jackson's masochistic new music.">Jackson's <em>Discipline</em>: She's a good bad girl</a>
</p>
<blockquote><p>Classy tryptich cardboard sleeve. Booklet goes for a hard, metallic look in which Jackson is posed as a sexy dominatrix. Yet there are also photos that suggest maturity. Gasp.
</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>It's sad that it's come to this. Here she is on the cover of <em>Discipline</em> wearing dominatrix gloves, with a title cut that has her telling "Daddy" that "I need some discipline tonight / I've been very bad."</p></blockquote>

The Dirty Show has pieces by over 100 erotic artists from around the world and will run from February 8 through February 16 at Bert’s Warehouse Theater in Detroit Michigan. </p> <p>The Dirty Show will feature artwork from art luminaries H.R.

This is the third year in a row that Dirk Hooper has work in the Dirty Show.</p>  <p>The piece that was selected, from the thousands of artist who submitted work, is a photo of Toxic Goddess Selkie from toxicgoddess.com.

Lovecraft and the Marquis de Sade.” Dirk’s publishing credits include such diverse media as comic books, music CDs and slick fetish magazines. He has also cultivated a reputation as a fine artist in established venues like the prestigious Fred Jones Jr. Art Museum and as an underground visionary in galleries like the Electric Chair and the Dirty Show in Detroit. Dirk has work in the permanent collection of the Kinsey Institute based at Indiana University.</p> <p> The mission of The Dirty Show is to promote, publish and propagate erotic art in all forms. This is done in the form of an erotic art exhibition which has become one of the largest in the world.
