Sol's birthday: part 1: Objectification



The Move almost complete, sol and I escaped to Sydney for his birthday weekend. I had a few surprises planned…

The first of which were his presents: a bottle of the very rare Chanel perfume that I only wear during play, a pair of leather opera gloves and a skirt ordered from Marquis De Sade for me to wear to weekend kinky events. We both enjoyed the fact that these presents were actually for his Mistress, although of course he gets to enjoy them as well!

As soon as I have a photo of the Marquis De Sade skirt I promise to post it. I hope Marquis De Sade won't mind if I reproduce their website image, just for now...


I’d had to order the skirt at the very last minute – literally the Wednesday before sol’s birthday weekend. We’d been very short of funds, The Move having drained our bank accounts, but I rang Marquis De Sade the moment I had some money in my account just in case they might have the specific item I was after in stock.

I can’t speak highly enough of Mary from Marquis De Sade, who not only created my custom fitted PVC skirt in 24 hours but organized overnight delivery from Melbourne to Sydney. I adored it from the moment it came out of its postbag: black and exquisitely shiny, long, laced on each side. I simply cannot thank Mary enough.

To celebrate it, I wore the skirt on both Friday and Saturday nights. On Friday we took Eileen and maymay to a Black Sash Salon, a small private event run by our friends MsGawjusRedhead and MindFucking. I highlighted the skirt's side lacings with scarlet stockings and my Italian scarlet suede ankle boots, teamed with a black silk top and my PVC coat. As Eileen pointed out, seriously shiny. On Saturday (at Hardcore Heaven) I swapped the scarlet boots for black thigh highs and added the black leather gloves and a black waist cincher from Gallery Serpentine. I dressed sol both nights in black leather trousers and his scarlet embroidered waistcoat, with a white garter belt and stockings.

The theme of this month’s Black Sash Salon was objectification, and I’d already suggested how sol might be utilized …

Ms GR provided an interesting opening statement. The presentations that followed ranged from book readings to personal views on the topic, to presentations with live components. Several items of furniture were created: a drink holder by our host, while our friend C made an excellent latex clad candle holder. At half time Ms Gawjus Redhead presented a nyotaimori scene, the first human platter for the evening, covered in excellent sushi.


Later all these subs discussed their experiences. Finally it was time for dessert, the second nantaimori platter...

When the time came to begin our preparations I sent sol to strip off to his stockings and garter belt as I placed candles into the dozens of tiny very pretty cupcakes and French patisserie items we’d brought with us.

I arranged sol horizontally on the table, blindfolded him then began covering him with the cakes. Regular readers of this blog will recall I tried something similar privately for my birthday last year, down at our play cabin. We had a lot of fun, so now it was time to repeat the scene in public…

He looked absolutely stunning, breathing shallowly so as to not disturb the cakes. When the person before me finished Eileen and I began lighting the candles. It was looking very dramatic, I couldn’t wait for the final effect when all the other house lights were turned off and guests blew out the candles, sending hot wax over sol…


Suddenly a God awful noise split the night, everyone leaping a foot in the air. Eileen’s startled eyes met mine, a single quizzical eyebrow raised … “it’s a fucking smoke alarm!” I shouted to her, almost falling off my feet with laughter as I pointed upwards, deadly matches in hand. Sure enough, directly above our heads was a circular roof alarm common in Australian homes.

As Eileen and I frantically blew out candles our hosts dashed over and hit the alarm with the end of a broom … the flashing red light and the awful noise ceased … I checked sol, he was still motionless, breathing slowly, “I am soooo sorry” I said to our hosts. “No no no, it’s our fault, we shouldn’t have positioned the table here” “No, it’s my fault, I should have thought to check, or to use smokeless candles. Most of them are, but these long ones here, Eileen had just lit two when the alarm went off”. “Do you want to relight them?” “How about I just light one, symbolically?”

While everyone gathered around us Maymay stood guard with the broomstick “just in case” … every time the alarm dared to give a beep May threatened it with the broomstick and it returned to quietly blinking green.

“It’s sol’s birthday”, I announced. “I thought you might like to share his birthday cakes with him. Normally I’d get him to sing himself Happy Birthday very carefully to avoid spilling too much wax from the candles, but as tonight we can’t light them, let’s all sing him Happy Birthday instead … and then help ourselves to birthday cake!”. Everyone did.

I kept a careful eye on sol as hands reached out, cakes slid over his body, as bits of wax and icing dripped onto his bare chest and arms. Like Ms GR’s earlier sushi presentation at first sol as an individual was totally ignored. He was simply a platter. And sol felt the same - as sol described to me later, he was "in platter space"! As a lesson in objectification it was perfect. Later several ladies tried to raise a response from him, running their finger nails over his body. Making the platter respond had become a challenge … but he never moved.

The presentation part of the evening was wrapping up as I carefully sat sol up and wrapped him in blankets. Sol laughingly turned me around to face the room - a prize is presented for best contribution, and tonight we were the prize winners. I didn’t really feel we deserved it, Ms Gorgeous Redhead’s sushi platter was simply wonderful and the fire alarm had caused the cancellation of the most evil bits I had planned, lol, but we were absolutely delighted with our prize…

As many readers know, finding a good BDSM gift to give a kinky friend is always tricky, and kinky souvenirs are even harder to find. For a long time the only thing you could buy in kinky stores were variations of those teddy bears, a male one often in black leather, a female one sometimes in a body harness, with hand cuffs. I often thought that if someone came up with a really good line in kinky souvernirs they’d make a fortune.

Well a few months ago Lucretzia & De Sade began selling "marsupial bondage toys", basically Aussie fauna and flora in BDSM gear. I first saw them advertised in Kink-E Magazine, and they were absolutely wonderful. You can check out the whole range here.

The hosts of the black Sash Salon presented sol and I with Platy Gimp, a beautifully made, soft furred platypus wearing a soft black leather body suit (with holes for his flippers lol) and detachable ball gag. His label read:

"Platypus Gimp ... occasionally let out of his burrow / dungeon, this gimpy platypus loves to be gagged, tortured and humiliated by all the other wildlife. This slippery young character lives the full leather lifestyle with his serious gear fetish and willingness to be 24/7 platyslave to all..."

I almost wept with laughter. Platy Gimp now has a home with us, and is much loved. Seriously, if you ever want to give a thoughtful kinky gift, get some of these kinky toys!
