Applying BDSM Rules to Philantropic Dreams

June 27th, 2008 Eva Vavoom Posted in BDSM, Philantropy 3 Comments »

UPDATE: This article triggered a few interesting conversations none of which had much to do with the philanthropic question that I posed which might suggest that men are more likely to pay to have bad things done to themselves rather than good things done for others LOL This article also appeared on a week where I had an interview published in a very straight mainstream blog. But see the comment section for my follow-up on this experiment.

I don’t know about you but I found this page to be very funny. I come from a world where I get things by asking nicely and by doing something for someone before I ask anything of them.

As a domme in a world of BDSM it appears I am doing this all wrong LOL But I wonder if I could apply BDSM rules to philantropic dreams.

I dream of living in a lifestyle where I can spend my whole day just doing what I please and not having to worry about paying my bills. I started on my way to this lifestyle by reducing my expenses by at least 50%. Over the past 3 years, I have worked 50% of my time and taken the resulting free time to spend with my child, do everything for myself (DIY) and returned to volunteering.

I now TAKE the time to do random things for other people, often people I don’t even know. I don’t apply my time that strategically but where it is most urgently needed. I am also quite secretive about it. I cannot expect people who have almost nothing to be able to repay me in kind but I do enjoy the karma. Karma is a valuable commodity that repays me with interest in surprising, random and fun ways.

I have taken the whole month of June “off” and stayed home to write a website about a criminal who is ripping off 2-3 people a week. Originally I had decided that I would travel to New York City but I was not able to raise enough cash in May. I fell down the stairs and thus, re-injuring my back. I had many other things to do but I got sidetracked big time.

For a whole month now I have been reading, researching and calling countless people in an effort to deconstruct cons, scams and crimes. I confess to working a little but only billed the equivalent of 7 hours for a whole month. Unfortunately, my Kiva.org investments will be almost nil this month as I can’t scrap enough cash to pay all my bills. This month, instead of donating into my own account, I sent out a gift certificate so Yoshi can start his own fund. I hope he will continue to contribute to it in the long run. But my “vacation” has cost me more than I planned for and I didn’t even buy anybody souvenirs!

The low notes of my “vacation”.

Today I had an incredibly pissed lady on the phone who wanted to sue me… why? She hired that convicted felon who had a 100% fake CV to work in her supermarket where he defrauded at least four employees in 2 weeks. No wait, that is HER mistake. She was mad at me because I mentioned the supermarket by name and it includes her employer’s first and last name. I removed the exact name of the supermarket at her bequest but I should have left it in just for the fact that this particular banner owner is notorious for requiring that people refer to the supermarket by her name rather than the banner name! You know you can’t cry when your stock falls after making mistakes in business; ask Martha Stewart or Arthur Anderson, founders of famous and later infamous eponymous companies.

The high notes of my “vacation”.

Getting to collaborate with the police, talking to victims and offering them answers and moral support and gathering the basis of a what could be a great book.

So what about July?!

I have begun working on my next project but I do not know yet if I will be able to offset my living expenses to find enough time to put it together in July and deploy it in August. This project will cost between 3 000-5 000 dollars and will impact 100-200 4-24 year olds over 6 months. It is supposed to return enough material to publish something amazing that will likely change perceptions of youth for thousands of people in our country. The resulting experience documentation and instructions will be released under Creative Commons and applicable in any city in the World. But it’s still a secret :) I have one assistant and one education specialist working with me right now. I am not worried about raising the needed money for the supplies as I have wonderful business contacts in related companies. I am worried about becoming homeless in the process as I do have bills to pay.

So here are my living expenses for a month so that some great people can come along and pay them for me :) In return I offer my ear and opinion on life and love. While no topic is taboo, I do not offer phone sex. I offer something that is worth much more: a unique chance for you to talk openly and confidentially with a woman who has a deep understanding of the human soul, understands men, has vast popular culture knowledge and candor on life, sex, relationship, women and love.

So here we go, I am now officially an Internet beggar.

Rent: 995$ (Adopted*)
Heating: 144$ (Adopted*)
Food: 300$ Available
Internet: 60$ Available
Phone: 0$
Kiva.org fund: 100-150$ Available
Personal care (spa, hair, etc.): 200$ Available
Clothing and shoes: 200$ Available
Travel expenses: 200$ Available

( *Thanks mom and dad ;) )

I will announce in 2 weeks if I am doing my mysterious project in July and each person who has personally contributed will get news of the progress. I can be reached at evavavoom (at) gmail (dot) com.

I told my sys admin he was blow-job worthy

April 28th, 2008 Eva Vavoom Posted in BDSM, Beauty and The Geek, Body Image, Dudes, Humour, Uncategorized, Unexpected Sex 1 Comment »

To which he replied “Thank you :)”. And to be honest with you that is the only appropriate answer to my compliment. I judge people by my own standards and I rarely explain these to others. Truly compatible people seem to know what I mean.

For instance the highest level that can be achieved in physical attractiveness is “Yummy”. But yummy-ness is not achieved by being cute alone. There has to be something else going on there. Take the cast of this season’s Beauty and The Geek. One may gravitate towards Tommy Severo (the sweater vest enthusiast) as the cutest but there was only one Yummy candidate this season: Jim Babcock (The video game programmer.) In fact both these guys are at the complete opposite of the second axis of yummi-ness. One is incredibly stuck-up when it comes to sex and the other one seems eager to get some (as it was obvious how Jim interacted with Tiffany at the Football game and beyond. ) So for me being halfway decent look-wise is completely useless if I can’t work with you.

I was disappointed that Jim got the boot before the makeover. Anyone who hides behind so much hair and tries to pass as a shaggy dog needs a makeover. He got his makeover last week and I was not that surprised by the results. I thought he would turn out looking more Gyllenhaal than Gosling. But it’s cool how he has no idea who Ryan Gosling is. That’s why I like geeks.

So back to the blow job worthiness thing.

Oral sex used to be my favorite thing (hence why I came up with the blow job worthiness index) but I have not had that many blow job worthy guys in my life for the past few years. In fact some guys think I am not into oral sex at all… Well maybe it’s because you’re just not that blow-job worthy! I am not saying I am that great at it by any means. A few months ago I lost a “suck-off” by a huge margin! The only reason I was not crushed by this loss is that it was to a trans guy who explained in detail how his technique was acquired so he would be accepted by gay men as one of their own. Well jaded oversexed gay men are definitely not my main “clientele”. My blow job non-technique is “put it in my mouth and enjoy”.

(UPDATE: Apparently I did not lose the “suck-off” in question LOL.)

I cannot tell you how many social conversations at semi-business events I have had with guys where after the fact I figured out that all they wanted from me was a blow job. All that staring at my boobs and making comments about my lips had nothing to do with Web 2.0. Life must be boring after you make it to C.T.O. or V.P. because those are the guys who are most often guilty of trying to get a quick fix with a total stranger. Not classy! Trying to pick me up is a bit useless because I definitely need time to confirm a connection and that can take me 4-6 months no matter how hot, rich or famous you think you are. The best way to get close to me is to figure out a way for us to spend time together by doing cool fun geeky things. That’s way more complicated than dating. This is how I approach people I dig as well.

Now the honor of being blow-job worthy can only be bestowed on someone who will go out of his way to do something for me without any expectation of getting something in return. since I have met him Mr. Sys Admin has done really cool unexpected things that often totally make my day. We met at a Midori “Bondage for Lovers” class and his first impression of me was seeing me tie up a 19-year old boy with ripped up bed sheets! Later he called me out of the blue to ask me to be his partner at a 2-day rope bondage class. Not only was that class fun but I got to tie him up in all sorts of cool ways! Did I mention he is yummy?! He is quite geeky as well which makes him a triple threat. Out of the blue last year he just kissed me. I was way too surprised to do anything about it. We’ve had long discussions (some live some chats) that delved into BDSM negotiations and it’s always remained quite intellectual and pleasant. Both of us have jobs and partners who seem to use up all the free time so I very rarely get to see him in person.

This weekend he helped me set up my Linux server the right way. I was supposed to go to his place but decided not to go pass along my cold to him.

So if I ever tell you you are blow job worthy you should just say thank you an be happy that I regard you as being in the small top tier of awesome keen guys on this planet. I am not really saying you deserve a blow job from me specifically as much as…

Fetish 4 Play

I may not be available to drop by F4P for the next few months but I did take the time to put together this flyer. I think it looks fierce :)

I was stripped, tied to a wall and flogged…

November 5th, 2007 Eva Vavoom Posted in BDSM, Fetish, Parties No Comments »

I’m not really used to being hit on by guys. I was all alone when I arrived at the last Fetish 4 Play. It was the same night as so many other Halloween parties so it was not as well attended. I didn’t mind for I had things to do. I think the fact that I was stripped, tied to a wall and flogged by Viky attracted the attention of people there. I was hit on by so many guys. I wasn’t even wearing something sexy. But I did have my fantastic platform fuck me boots. I was treated to a nice foot massage over my fishnets by a guy I just met (okay so that is a bit weird for me but he was cute and seemed like a nice enough guy) and then I got another foot massage later on from someone I did know. Then my partner finally showed up and I played with him too. It was the last Fetish 4 Play at Tools, the party is moving to a private club for swingers. (annoyed shrug…)

UPDATED: I just finished creating the Flyer for the next 5 months events and took the time to review the new venue, Club Nuances. Look at this Flickr set: It looks good :)
