Whiplash: Skid Row to a Suite
Posted: February 19, 2023 Filed under: Discussion, Entertainment | Tags: BDSM, D/s, dievca, drugs, experiences, Hockey, Homeless, LA Kings, Life, Los Angeles, Photos, subway, travel Leave a comment
dievca took the Los Angeles Metro ($2.75) from the Beach to the Center of LA to catch a LA Kings Hockey Game. The homeless clientele on the train was sketchy, which is the same in NYC, but the emptiness of the train made it a little more edgy.
Then dievca made her 1st transfer and had to go down a staircase. Three people were blocking the middle of the stairs and a lone lady in front of dievca made a snarky comment. dievca saw a lit crack pipe and just hustled her way down onwards to the next platform. Being snarky to a person on drugs is a “no go” in NYC, so dievca moved to get out of range.
Then the trains filled up a bit more closer to LA and the walk to the Stadium was short. The LA Kings were playing the AZ Coyotes and dievca experienced a surreal whiplash from the Metro to the very nice Suite. It was interesting to experience LA LA land’s version of a hockey game, Lots of lights, music, goofy “hosts” and…it was “STAR WARS” night! A spectacle!
The 1st period was tedious with the LA Kings leading 5 to 1. The 2nd period picked up the pace and the Coyotes made it 5-2. The 3rd period ended on a tie. One OT and a shootout — the Kings finally won!
Grabbing a cab after the game was easy and the ride back to the beach was traffic free, The cab ride cost? $115 with tip.

The dawn broke over the ocean, gradually expanding into pale yellow.
The day opened up into the 90’sF (30’sC) due to the humidity.

dievca was the lucky recipient of a last-minute offer to see the NY Rangers play Game 7 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. It’s always a treat to catch live hockey, but the game was tight and the energy in MSG (Madison Square Garden) was ROCKING!
The Rangers will be facing the Carolina Hurricanes, next. They are a good team – we will see.
Fingers crossed.🤞

Glamorous Dining returns to NYC

Le Pavillon NYC opened fully in September after a reduced schedule allowed the restaurant to be completed.
With 57-foot ceilings, cream columns, and a built-in irrigation system for the interior’s olive trees and ferns, Le Pavillon is a testament to the triumphs of architecture and landscape. Steps away from Grand Central Station – it has accessibility for ALL New Yorkers and visitors alike.
The menu offers first courses and main courses from the mer and the terre. Boasting dishes like roasted lamb chops, slow-baked ora king salmon, and buckwheat crusted sea scallops, the menu leaves customers with options that traverse flavors from pickled turmeric to smoked paprika. Conversely, the dessert menu offers dishes with strawberries, passionfruit, cherries, and chocolate. Customers can choose from four types of cheeses, including comté and coupole, Vermont goat cheese, for a traditional French dessert.
“The menu is based on the land and the sea at Le Pavillon. So, this is not a departure from whatever I’ve done in the past, but it is a progression,” Chef Daniel Boulud said. “The focus will be on local vegetables, New England Seafood” and other ingredients that change based on the season.
dievca is planning to enjoy a meal at Le Pavillon in November and her glamorous foodie friend stated that she is dressing up – Bling/ Fur and all. Too bad dievca has to hustle over after work~ until then she will be scanning though her closet, looking at the weather report and trying to create a very spectacular, yet versatile, outfit. XO

The Governors Isalnd annual trek is very simple – a bike ride, $3 round-trip ferry ticket and the splurge for a “Glamping” Tent. Worth every penny when your view is of this sunset and a morning walk around the island offers a mystical view of….Brooklyn!

OK, the home team didn’t win – but the evening was lovely. Going to a baseball game without being jostled and bumped was a novelty. No spilled beer.
At least Aaron Judge got on base and hit a homer. He is quite tall.

Pendu – “Post Fetish” elegance

Todd Pendu Zana Bayne “Magnum Opus” Collection SS14
dievca ran into a collection of leather goods from Todd Pendu & Zana Bayne called, “Magnum Opus” SS14. she purchased two items: a bracelet and a necklace which she modified slightly to make it a leather collar. How? she added holes at the buckles to tighten it and removed the attached triangle piece so Master could attach His lead.
The term “Post-Fetish” was coined by Todd Pendu as “decontextualizing traditional fetish gear into aesthetic accessories to be incorporated into everyday wear”.
Originally, dievca was focused on the person in the co-collaboration whose name was on the worked leather, Zana Bayne. But, she starting looking deeper into the gorgeous work of co-Creative Director, Todd Pendu after viewing some of his photographs.

It’s not fashionable, it’s not elegant, but it helps dievca feel safer as she is shooting through the line-up of Dump Trucks, flatbeds of Steel and general chaos on the ride to work.
dievca’s only objective it to be seen, so she avoids this:

dievca’s worn the backpack so much that it has become dirty and faded, so she lurked on eBay to buy another one in the same color. Success! Sometimes your random spur-of-the moment purchases become the ones you live and avoid dying by….

As a “Thank You” to the Halloween Holiday taking the kids away from the bike path — dievca carved one of the Bodega pumpkins with Master after work.
she will use the other for Thanksgiving decorations.
Here’s what we got:
The pumpkin was starting to rot, so the mouth was an attempt at a smirk. It also had a lot of interior ‘gunk’ that came out like spaghetti which made it glow. It’s sitting off the fire escape.
Have a SAFE evening.

We went to Freud. http://www.restaurantfreud.nl
It’s in the west part of town, near the Westerpark. That area is hip and trendy, there are not many tourists. You have to make reservations, it is always booked. The restaurant is about half an hour walk from Centraal Station through a very nice neighborhood.

It’s a gorgeous space, larger than the previous store on 57th. The storied bookstore is in a townhouse specializing in illustrated tomes, literature & European magazines. dievca was mesmerized by a large tome of Helmut Newton’s work. Absolutely Amazing.
This trip brought to mind a comparison photo for Easter:
I’m a Mouse–Duh
Transgressive German photographer Helmut Newton, established a prolific body of work in his signature voyeuristic style that changed the landscape of 20th-century fashion photography. Intimate friends with model and jewelry designer Elsa Peretti, Newton would often privately photograph her nude. However, Newton did not publish any of these nude photographs at Peretti’s request, who jokingly insisted he wait until the death of her father before they be released. In 1975, Newton did publish an image of Peretti in a play boy bunny ensemble by Halston, set against the backdrop of a gleaming New York skyline. For the March 2010 issue of Vogue, photographer Mario Testino recreated the Newton shot, swapping Elsa Peretti for Tina Fey and the ears of a bunny with Mickey Mouse-like ears.
