June Gloom… (and what is really happening)
Posted: June 10, 2018 Filed under: Disasters, Discussion | Tags: beach, California, dievca, Friends, June Gloom, Life, submissive, Summer, travel, Weather 2 CommentsJune Gloom is a Southern California term for a weather pattern that results in cloudy, overcast skies with cool temperatures during the late spring and early summer. … On a strong June Gloom day, the clouds and fog may extend inland to the valleys and Inland Empire and may persist into the mid-afternoon or evening.
Weather pattern off of Monterey Bay
Go figure~ this is the time dievca can take a quick jaunt to visit friends in CA. she wanted to park it on the beach….but she’s been told it isn’t the best time.
This is quite annoying since the weather in NYC has been heavily gloomy, too. With dievca’s luck, NYC weather will be gorgeous and CA a mess. Ah, well. At least she is out of the City.
HAH! dievca’s plane arrived 45 minutes early,
her luggage was the first off the plane
and the WEATHER IS AWESOME!

I’m direct
I’m blunt.
I’m Midwestern.
Call a spade is a spade.
I absorb and learn from criticism.
I pick my ass up after a failure.
If I ask a question, I expect an answer.
I’m not asking just to make noise.
I’m waiting for the answer.
Even if that answer is negative.
Even if you think I won’t like the answer.
And if I asked two questions, I am looking for the answer to both questions.
I am sorry if you have trouble offering a negative answer.
Or any answer at all.
Not my problem.
But it is my problem when I am trying to schedule my life and I asked the question for a reason.
The avoidance becomes disrespectful and rude.
My ire doesn’t matter – because I’m still waiting for your answer.
I’m not playing a game, its my Life.
Is Master on to something?

Master has turned in His French Press for……
THE PERFECT COFFEEMAKER?
Dr. Peter Schlumbohm PhD. Chemistry invented the Chemex in 1941. He developed more than 300 product patents while in pursuit of making everyday objects more functional, beautiful, and pleasing to use. As a chemist, he had a strong understanding of coffee extraction which allowed him to apply his pursuit to coffee-making. Made from non-porous borosilicate glass and utilizing bonded paper filters the Chemex brews coffee without imparting any flavors of its own. (Doesn’t it look like an Erlenmeyer Flask?)
THE CLAIM TO PERFECTION
The Chemex company website makes the following claim: “The Chemex® coffeemaker, together with the Chemex-Bonded® Coffee Filter, makes perfect coffee. Clear, pure, flavorful and without bitterness or sediment every time.” Siting the use of the scientifically designed glass and proprietary filters, the Chemex brews a coffee with a distinct purity that allows it to be covered and stored in the fridge without losing flavor.
Should dievca give up her beloved French Press
and follow in Her Master’s Footsteps?

Oh, its stressing her out just thinking about changing….
and something that takes more time?
Not breaking Fashion rules: finally understanding why
Posted: May 28, 2018 Filed under: Discussion, Dresses, Fashion | Tags: D/s, dievca, Elegant, erotic, Helmut Lang, Leather, Life, NYC, Presentation Outfits, rules, Shopping, Slave, Slip Dress, submissive 4 CommentsThere was a time when people stuck to the rule that white clothing was only “allowed” between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
In the early 1900s, the rule about only wearing white between Memorial Day and Labor Day was started according to the vacationing schedule of the elite, when there “was a dress code for practically every occasion.” Those who could afford it would leave their homes behind and spend months at the sea or in the mountains, where they had a completely different type of wardrobe, including the light, bright white pieces most associated with the summer months. When those fun-loving summer days were over, the white clothes were packed away and the people went back to their regular lives, having escaped the oppressive heat between the end of May and early September. Those white clothes that they loved during the summer months had no place in their “real life” wardrobes, so the cutoff for white clothing became Labor Day.
Nowadays, you may have started wearing white on the first 90F (32 C) day of year or earlier.
dievca thought she still avoided wearing white until after Memorial Day because it was the “rule”, but she finally realized that she uses white sparingly—period, because….its New York City.
Can you imagine how dirty this Helmut Lang Leather Slip Dress would get?
And that is the true reason dievca doesn’t really break the “white” rule.
Happy Memorial Day! (and wear white for dievca)
What to wear…killed the moment
Posted: May 23, 2018 Filed under: Discussion, Dresses | Tags: BDSM, Clothing, D/s, decisions, dievca, Elegant, fashion, gala, Hudson River, Life, NYC, Spring, submissive, Summer 12 CommentsSo dievca bought a dress, in the Fall, from a Canadian designer, Eliza Faulkner – she had seen someone in the dress during NYC fashion week and loved it.
It’s cotton and great for warmer weather.
And then Melania Trump made a speech on Bullying – wearing a $3000 hot pink dress. Killed dievca’s desire to wear the dress…but she needs a dress for a Gala this evening and she is digging through the closet.
Weather: 63 F to 82 F, partly cloudy, will be on a boat – breezy. Evening.
Here are some of the choices (click on an item for greater detail):
The two darker green dresses are of heavier material, the pink and the light blue are 100% cotton, the red is silk, the light green is a cotton/poly blend, the Missoni is a mix of wool, silk, poly – etc. All are lined. I have shoes for them all and coats/jackets. Hair up or it will blow everywhere~
If you can give dievca some input, she would greatly appreciate it. dievca is uncharacteristically at a loss. Her brain is fried~

Imagine her surprise when she put on her new backpack (note: a pen exploded in the orange backpack…) for the morning ride and was told that her new eyeglass frame color matched the backpack trim perfectly…

What do you call “Home”?
Physical location? State of Mind?
Is it where you began?
Or is it whom you stand next to?
Growing up “Home” was defined by a 10 hour car trip to Family. Then it was who stood next to me. It became certain people, certain places and experiences. But as I travel back to my Parents, I realize I hold “Home” inside of me. I do not have to travel to find it and if I do travel, I will never lose it.
