FETISHWEEK – Create Your Own Kinky Universe

[info_box]FETISHWEEK covers the best BDSM News and most interesting fetish links of the last week.  I am actively accepting news, press releases, personality profiles, and review items for both FETISHWEEK and The Fetish Show.  I am particularly interested in topics related to BDSM/kink/fetish, but also alternative art/photography/modeling, sex, burlesque, fashion, relationships, events and more.  I can get your story out to a much wider audience in a way that is positive and respectful.  Contact me now:   dirk@dirkhooper.com [/info_box]

I just got back from the regional BDSM event Gathering of the Tribes in Dallas Texas and a major shoot with Domina Daria, followed by a tough but fun downtown shoot with Apple Angel, so I’m going to keep this short.

All I can say is the last few days I’ve felt very privileged to be in the position to experience as much as I have.  Everything that I’ve worked for over the past decade, and particularly the last year are coming together at the same time.  There are so many things I want to tell you about but it’s better to just let it unfold naturally.

Whether your dreams involve BDSM and photography and writing (like mine) or your inspiration comes from something else, don’t be afraid to take a hard look at your life and imagine all the possibilities.  I’m beginning to see the fruit of the seeds I planted long ago and have worked so hard to cultivate.  The taste of that fruit is sweet, indeed!

If I can create this world for myself, then you can too.  And you should.

I’ve got a lot of photos, some articles and some good news that’s coming soon.  Until then, enjoy the top BDSM news and fetish articles from the past week.  I’m going to get some rest!

Dream hard,
