J.P. of Studio 58 Interviewed by The 2 Kinky Women Podcast

World Wide Web — J.P., Co-Founder and Owner of Studio 58, was recently on The 2 Kinky Women Podcast with Midnight Lady and Mistress Gabrielle to discuss how he and his crew handle events.

Studio 58 organizes special events and adult education for people over 18 years of age to express themselves authentically and explore their sexuality and relationships without prejudice in safe, well-managed environments. They host the hotel takeovers Naughty Gras and Naughty Noel. They offer the cabin camping event, Naughty in Nature (with indoor plumbing and hot showers). Studio 58 also offers regularly scheduled parties, munches and “Sipping Social” meet ups.

J.P. Discussed how essential the crew is and how important the mindset is going into the larger events. He brought up how prepared the staff is for emergencies, and relations with local agencies. They discussed the importance of understanding and signing detailed waivers before entering the events and consensual safety during the shows.

“I want people to understand what they’re walking into,” noted J.P. “We insist people come to the vetting circles before fire play, needles, blood play, wax, and water bondage… We saw a massive amount of new people, who had never been to an event before, post covid… So we decided to start doing the vetting circle, so we could articulate to those people the information we had on paper. So we knew they didn’t just glance over it”

Midnight Lady asked J.P. about trends in the scene, acceptance of kink in mainstream society, and the crossover of the BDSM community with the swinger lifestyle. She also asked J.P. about guests and understanding consent at Studio 58 events.

“While we do our tours, we show people the major areas and how to navigate around,”  J.P. assured. “While we are doing that, we’re talking about consent. We’re talking about etiquette. My tour guide is interacting with these people… If you educate, educate, educate, folks will act like adults.”

Midnight Lady and Mistress Gabrielle discuss all aspects of kink and the BDSM lifestyle. You can find their interview with J.P. of Studio 58 at https://twokinkywomen.podbean.com/e/ep-31on-the-scene-at-naughty-noel

The Dungeon Store Debuts Lightning Laces Body Bling

Baltimore, MD — The Dungeon Store has added their Lightning Laces body bling to their curated collection of BDSM gear and has the electrifying product available to retailers.

Lightning Laces body bling is a fetish accessory that gives the look of a corset on bare skin, and will conduct electricity when used during violet wand play. Lightning Laces have reusable jewels that paste on the bare back, chest, legs, or other parts of the body. A ribbon is laced through the loops on the jeweled pieces and tied like a corset. The bling pieces and ribbon are conductive. The garment comes with an extra ribbon, and is available in blue, red, purple, clear, and rainbow.

“These are hot on their own, but they feel amazing when used with a violet wand,” noted Anne Bryne, Founder and Co-owner of The Dungeon Store. “When a sub is wearing Lightning Laces, you can use a violet wand electrode across the ribbon, or hook up your own conductive cable to spread sensation through the ribbon with your hands, vampire nails, or mylar floggers. Consumers are only beginning to see some of the shocking ways Lightning Laces can be used as fetish apparel and kinky play.”

The Dungeon Store has been test marketing the electrifying product at fetish and lifestyle events across the country, and these sparkling adornments are now available through The Dungeon Store for retailers.

“While these have been popular at BDSM events, Lightning Laces have also had good reception at lifestyle parties, and adult entertainment events” added Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director for The Dungeon Store. “There are many ways to pair these with lingerie, dresses, and harnesses for a scandalous presentation.”

Retailers can contact Brittany Wilson at sales@thedungeonstore.com for order information and details. Consumers can find Lightning Laces at the booth of The Dungeon Store during parties and conventions for the sexually adventurous, or online, along with their curated collection of floggers, paddles, bondage rope and violet wand accessories at https://thedungeonstore.com/collections/e-stim/products/lightning-laces-conductive-corset .

 

The Dungeon Store is Coming to Naughty Gras

Gettysburg, PA — Let the good times roll! The Dungeon Store is bringing their curated collection of BDSM gear to Naughty Gras, presented by Studio 58 Events, February 29 – March 3rd in Gettysburg, PA.

“We’re so excited for this hotel takeover,” said Anne Bryne, Founder and Co-owner of The Dungeon Store. “We’re amping up our violet wand game this year. We’ve put together a new violet wand kit, not yet available online, and we’ll have the fluffy Truffelo electrode, Angel Kiss wand accessories, Firecracker wands, Lightning Laces body bling, and more. Our occult books and tarot decks are a hit at the shows and they fit in so well with the Big Easy theme of this event.”

Naughty Gras is a sassy adult lifestyle weekend. Studio 50 transforms the whole indoor pool atrium into a clothing optional area, decorated in honor of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter of NOLA. Regular guests often decorate their poolside rooms and balconies overlooking the pool in Mardi Gras themes, and there are kinky play areas open 24/7. 

Studio 58 is already pre-gaming with online contests before the event at https://fetlife.com/groups/231912. There is an orientation and tour for newbies. Room rates include the hotel’s breakfast buffet. Activities include the Human Bingo Mixer, Merfolk Swim, and Kinky Speed Meet-Up party. Friday night offers a bonus “Alien Invasion” themed happy hour, karaoke, and alien costume contest. Saturday night will feature the big play party and bead drops from the balconies.

“Naughty Gras is going to be so much fun,” added Bryne. “You’ll also find an awesome selection of floggers, paddles, rope, wax play and medical play gear for the kinky parties at our booth. And don’t forget to check out our body safe silicone toys from our sister store, Split Peaches.”

Pennsylvania, USA — The Dungeon Store is embracing 2024 with two weekend parties on their dance card. The AVN nominated shop will have their curated collection of BDSM gear for sale at Naughty Nude Year, by Studio 58 events in Gettysburg and the Secret Sinsations weekend in Pittsburgh.

“Don’t drop the ball on these pulsating parties to welcome 2024!” cheered Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director for The Dungeon Store. “We’re introducing our new violet wand accessory, the large ball chain flogger. These are handcrafted in our shop, with more than 40 tails. These floggers with jewelry chain are created for use with conductive cables, but are excellent used alone for gentle sensation play”

Naughty Nude Year is a three day weekend, December 29 through January 1, designed for adults who want to enjoy meaningful connections among alternative lifestyle and LGBTQIA+ folks in a friendly, inclusive atmosphere. NNY offers guests foam parties, live DJs, nude games in the heated indoor pool area, and three pervy playspaces that are open 24/7. Scandalous activities during the expo include subjects like fire play, electro play, hypnosis, clothespins, and more.

Secret Sinsations has two days of parties lined up. Saturday, December 30 is the Snow Bunnies White Out, with live band “Two for Flinching” at the dance floor. Sunday, December 31 offers Swing Bingo and additional poolside games, and rings in the new year with the All That Glitters party. During the parties, Sinsations will open the playpen where their fetish crew will aid with blissful bondage, spicy spanking and torrid temptations.

“At Naughty Nude Year, Tabby is offering a workshop on oracle cards,” noted Wilson. “We’ll have a variety of decks, tarot, and spiritual books for you to check out at our booth. In addition, we’ll have rope floggers, dragon tails, bamboo silk rope and super soft Nappa leather floggers.”

It’s Time for the Procrastinator’s Kinkmas Sale at The Dungeon Store

World Wide Web — The annual Procrastinator’s Kinkmas Sale has returned at The Dungeon Store and will be December 6-16, 2023.

The Dungeon Store offers a curated collection of high end kinky products, mostly created and sourced by professionals in the leather community. This marks the third year of The Dungeon Store’s holiday tradition.

“In 2021, we had enough of Black Friday.” said Anne Bryne, Founder and Co-owner of The Dungeon Store. “We’re very big on family, and putting our team and even our customers through the demands of a turkey day holiday sale went against everything we stand for. So every year now, we give our customers and crew time for their families and friends, then reward them with up to 50 percent off at our web site.”

During the sale, many items that have been only available when The Dungeon Store showed at conventions will be available in the online store. Many new creations will appear in the “One of a Kind Emporium” section daily. In addition, more occult books, oracle cards and tarot decks will be for sale on the site. As always, shoppers will still find great rope for bondage, and violet wand accessories, mostly made in house by experienced violet wand enthusiasts.

“It’s 10 days of savings on hand made BDSM gear by those who know what kink feels like,” added Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director for The Dungeon Store. “When you order between December 6th and the 16th, we’ll have your order out the door and on the way to you by the next day. “And for exclusive offers, special promo codes, and event schedules, sign up for our newsletter while at our online store.”

Visit https://TheDungeonStore.com to whip holiday shopping on kinky toys like whips, floggers, shibari rope, restraints, pegging harnesses, and violet wand accessories.

“This is huge for us and we kindly thank Tony Rios, Peter Warren, Dan Miller and the contributing editorial staff for recognizing our efforts,” said Anne Bryne, Founder and Co-owner of The Dungeon Store. “We have some strong competition for the awards themselves, yet being nominated again tells us our long standing service to the BDSM community pays off. We are grateful to our leather family and to the events across the nation that have contributed to our success.”

The Dungeon Store is a woman owned and operated collection of BDSM products for new and advanced players. The business is known for their violet wand accessories, many made in house in the U.S.A., along with their selection of impact play toys, restraints, and rope for shibari.

Kinksgiving of Curiosities

A major challenge I have as publicist is sometimes I have to do publicity for something that can’t have press coverage. This would be next to impossible if it wasn’t for social media. For example, many BDSM events don’t consent to being in press releases or having press show up for an event. The original plan for The Dungeon Store was conceived during COVID, when events were cancelled or virtual, and emphasis was placed on interviews, new products, and content placement. This weekend, The Dungeon Store is keeping busy. They’re at the Baltimore Playhouse on Saturday November 11th for Kinksgiving of Curiosities, a food/clothing drive and play party. More on this event can be found at https://fetlife.com/events/1355465

The Dungeon Store will also have a table at the Academy of Fetish Arts Vendor Fair in Cleveland, Ohio this weekend. Visit https://cle-afa.com/event for more on the event, and for what the academy has to offer ahead. For these events, instead of a release, this got sent out over social media profiles for The Dungeon Store, and I’ve used my Fetish Artist profiles on social media to boost them further. The food drive party also went out on The Dungeon Store’s newsletter this week. This allows us to push in the directions we need to, without drawing mainstream attention.

Mistress Cyan’s Charity Food Drive and Party, Coming to Sanctuary Studios this Friday

Los Angeles, CA — Mistress Cyan is kicking off the holiday season with her annual charity “Slave Auction” party and Thanksgiving food drive for the homeless. The fundraiser will be this Friday, November 10th at Sanctuary Studios, 13012 Athens Way, Los Angeles, CA 90061.

Cyan’s yearly fundraiser is a pervy take on the classic charity bachelor auction, and the first at her new location for Sanctuary Studios. Her tradition has gone back over 20 years as a way of giving to the community and those in need. Switches, submissives and Dommes volunteer to put themselves up for auction, while “buyers” exchange non-perishable food and canned goods for “auction money.” Those looking to go on the block for a good cause fill out a questionnaire of their likes and dislikes, which are announced before the bidding begins. This is all for kinky fun. There is no actual sex. Everything is negotiated, consensual, and all safewords will be respected.

“Over the years, we have collected thousands of pounds of food, to give to the homeless and hungry in Los Angeles over the holidays,” noted Mistress Cyan, owner and founder of Sanctuary Studios. “Everyone entering with non-perishable food, canned goods, or grocery gift cards receives ‘Auction Money’ for bidding. New socks, new underwear, and clean blankets will be accepted as well.”

The past efforts of Mistress Cyan and the Sanctuary Studios leather family have fed over 100,000 people in the Los Angeles area.

“Everyone who participates should be proud,” added Mistress Cyan. “I appreciate the support I have received with this over the years. Please continue with that support and let’s make sure we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.”
