The Dungeon Store to Enchant Guests at Fetish Con 2023

St. Petersburg, Florida — The Dungeon Store will be enchanting guests of Fetish Con with their curated collection of BDSM pleasure products, August 10-13, 2023 at the St. Petersburg Bayfront Hilton, 333 1st Street S, in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Hundreds of bondage, fetish, and adult models will be in attendance at Fetish Con. Guests enjoy the exposition’s lectures, workshops, play space and amazing parties. The show’s exhibitors offer fantastic latex couture, shoes, bondage gear and leather goods. Stacy Burke, Jean Bardot, Kendra James, and Anastasia Pierce are just a few scheduled to appear at the convention.

“This year, we’re bringing gorgeous gem pasties and something daring called skin corsets,” noted Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director for The Dungeon Store. “Skin corsets are sets of self-adhesive gems, rings and laces that give the look of a corset piercing. These look stunning when applied to the back or belly, but can also be used on legs for a laced-up stocking effect. Our skin corsets are reusable, with variable spacing and there’s an extra ribbon included.”

Also on display will be The Dungeon Store’s bewitching line of tarot cards and occult books. As always, the booth will also be packed with favorites, like conductive rope, shibari books, medical toys, along with handmade floggers, paddles and whips. Hand poured silicone toys from their Split Peaches line will be on display. During the show, Wilson will electrify guests with demonstrations of The Dungeon Store’s violet wands and accessories.

Mia Darque Talks Kink on What Women and Other Wonderful Humans Want Podcast

World Wide Web — Mistress Mia Darque was recently a guest on the What Women and Other Wonderful Humans Want Podcast.

Presented by Dating Kinky, What Women and Other Wonderful Humans Want Podcast is hosted by Jon, A.K.A. HiThereCatsuit, a multi-time Emmy award winning broadcaster with 35 years in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Jon helps educate people on traditional and non-traditional relationships, and to tell the story on how people connect with their authentic selves.

Mistress Mia Darque is a 6’3″ Oklahoma Amazon, with over 20 years experience in the kinky community. The mature BBW got started as a lifestyle kinkster in Chicago during her early 20s, and turned pro in 2013. She has done sessions across the world, and performs at some of the hottest international fetish clubs. Darque is also a BDSM educator at Sanctuary Studios in Los Angeles, and serves on the board of DomCon where she is active working with their events in Los Angeles and New Orleans.

“My sessions in LA tend to be for my height, the fact that I can pick up a man my size and can toss you around like a rag doll,” Darque noted, explaining the differences between sessions in Los Angeles and the MidWest. “Someone told me you have an elaborate collection of dildos, might I be able to see those. It will be some very well dressed man, who looked like he just escaped from ‘DALLAS,’ circa 1985, who shot JR kinda looking guy… It’s always the conservative states, every time. They always come up with the weirdest stuff, the most random fetishes. In California, I have a lot of guys who want me to wrestle them… I have a lot of guys who are into heavier bondage… another reason why I love being at Sanctuary Studios, they’re set up for just about anything and I don’t have to come with 300 pounds worth of bags.”

Darque and Jon talked about upcoming events, like DomCon New Orleans, and her own parties.

“I have my own event coming up with my crew at Femdom Events,” said Darque. “We will be hosting it in LA… It’ll be November 1st. It’s a private, invitation only, play party… We’re going to be using Sanctuary and have plenty of space, plenty of good music, and because it’s me, plenty of good food… We’re here to enjoy ourselves, be served, and let people bring service to us… I’m also looking for who might like to have a mansion party with myself, some of my Domme friends, and some of my wrestler lady friends here in Oklahoma… We’re just enough in the middle of nowhere to have a lotta fun!”

Is Publicity Marketing?

Publicity is marketing, right?

Not necessarily. What I primarily do is work with the press. We call it The News, for a reason. It isn’t The Olds.

Traditionally, marketing is sales, and the vague term covers everything from someone knocking on doors to advertising in the biggest outlets.

With marketing, you may be working with something that’s old and been around for decades. That’s not necessarily bad, as if it’s something essential, solid and reliable, that can be the easiest sale. But a marketer might be stuck with something that’s old and won’t sell.

When that happens, part of the challenge is for marketing to find something new and exciting, and a publicist can be brought in to brainstorm that and work with the marketer to find something newsworthy. There could be a celebrity endorsement or a contest.

But a publicist might not even be in that picture at all. What might be necessary is advertising, or a new market.

High Octane Heart does have some middle ground. We’ve created ads, logos, and branding. But it is important to understand the differences.

Elevate and Dommenate Podcast Welcomes Mistress Cyan and Mia Darque

Los Angeles, CA — The Elevate and Dommenate Podcast recently covered LA Pride, and interviewed Mistress Cyan and Mistress Mia Darque at the Erotic City side of the event.

Erotic City is the adults only side of LA Pride, offering guests the opportunity to explore their kinky side with demonstrations and performances. Mistress Cyan hosts Erotic City. Cyan’s staff from Sanctuary often volunteer and included are special guests from Bullet Bar, Fitpup Leather, Whipping Stripes, The Leather Journal, The Sidewalk Project, The LA Pony and Critter Club, and Torture Garden LA.

Hosted by Goddess Aroya and Mistress Odessa, Elevate and Dommenate Podcast is the go-to podcast for all things BDSM, power dynamics and covering the intriguing world of professional domination. They explore the connection between physical fitness and sensual pleasure, helping listeners tap into their inner dominance and find confidence in both body and mind.

“We are so excited to have this interview,” said Goddess Aroya. “We want to share with the community… This is an amazing event here. You have Erotic City, where those 18 and up can be themselves.”

“With Erotic City, I came on board with LA Pride back in 2006,” noted Mistress Cyan. “There was debate of whether to keep such an edgy, kink, fetish, BDSM section in there, but my feeling has always been you can’t complain if you don’t take a seat at the table. So I got on the board, and have been working really hard over the years to keep this not only existing, but also growing.”

Goddess Aroya and Mistress Odessa discussed the electrifying performance by Meg The Stallion the previous evening at LA Pride, then got personal and professional with Mistress Mia Darque.

“There are a lot of misconceptions that every Dominatrix is a cruel, mentally destabilizing, bitch… She has to be covered in tattoos. She can only be 5’6″ and she has to have the Betty Page look to her. I’ve rage quit against all that shit,” explained Mistress Mia Darque. “I’ve given more through professional domination sessions than I have ever been angry in a lifestyle session. My last client came all the way from Switzerland so that we could wrastle! He likes to be bear hugged and dropped to the ground. The fact that I can do that in six inch platform heels, he absolutely adores!”

Mistress Cyan and Mistress Mia Darque will be at DomCon New Orleans, October 26-29. Go to https://DomCon.com for registration information and details.

DomCon Featured on Adult Buddy Finders Podcast

World Wide Web — Comedians Greenberry Lucas and Kerstin Porter of Adult Buddy Finders Podcast are releasing a two-part show about their newbie experiences at DomCon Los Angeles.

Adult Buddy finders is a comedy web series based on the challenges of Lucas and Porter, as they were looking to make platonic friendships as adults. The pair discuss sex, fetish, relationships, cuddles, bodies and more to help grown ups find their adult buddy.

“I’ve never been to anything like this.” Lucas began. “One of the coolest things here that I liked was the beginner mixer… This is the perfect way to jump in, get to know people and what their interests are.”

The latest DomCon in Los Angeles brought together over 1800 guests, including BDSM professionals, fetish supermodels, and enthusiasts in the kinky lifestyle. Many from advanced to curious are drawn to DomCon’s classes, demonstrations, socials, performances, and of course incredible fetish parties. The vendor area is well known for the latest innovations in bondage gear and kinky products.

“We learned about stun guns, cattle prods, and shock collars,” said Lucas.

“And then some bondage, and tying,” added Porter. “Some spanking, and body mapping… My favorite part was have a nonverbal safeword.”

“”One of the big takeaways is how to be safe when you’re doing these things,” notes Lucas. “That could cause very serious harm if you’re not doing it safely… We had a lot of fun, we spent a lot of energy, and we’re ready to share that with you.”

October 26-29 DomCon is hosting their convention in New Orleans, at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel, 739 Canal Street, in the historic French Quarter. Registration for the upcoming expo is now open and the reservations for the room block of the host hotel are available.

The Dungeon Store Announces Magick Line on 69 Whiskey Podcast

World Wide Web — Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director for The Dungeon Store returned to the 69 Whiskey podcast to announce the new lineup of spiritual and occult related products coming to the store’s booth at TES Fest in New Jersey this weekend.

The Dungeon Store is a curated collection of products for kink enthusiasts. Most of the gear Wilson sells is created and sourced by professionals in the BDSM community.

69 Whiskey hosts “Dollar Store Dom,” Eric Weinstein and Motorboatin’ Matt, cover topics ranging from drinking recipes, comedy, kinky and adult entertainment. The show was nominated for an AVN Award and listeners enjoy Eric and Matt’s raw, uncensored and unapologetic adult format.

Wilson was pleasantly surprised to find herself declared the favorite guest of the show, then quickly brought listeners up to speed about the latest news from The Dungeon Store.

“We just remodeled our entire display at The Baltimore Playhouse, it looks fire AF!” said Wilson with pride. “Next week, I will see Eric at TES Fest in New Jersey… We have started carrying modern occultism and witchcraft stuff… and we’re looking to grow that line over the course of the next year.”

She went on to discuss the additions of books on magic, hoodoo, voodoo, and oracle cards including the Sacred Feminine, the Naughty Oracle, and the African Gods deck.

“We also have Backwoods Witchcraft, which is Appalachian magic,” Wilson explained. “If you’ve ever been to Appalachia, the people out there are magic. They’re different. It’s different. We actually carry the OG Appalachian magic book… We also have very fun tarot cards and oracle cards. We have what’s called Mystic Martian Tarot. We have Cunt Tarot. We have Macabre Tarot, which is shaped like a little coffin.”

The conversation moved to medical play toys, and selling BDSM gear at events.

“I think fear is good. I think that you should approach edge play and serious BDSM kinks with a little bit of fear,” Wilson pointed out. “If people come in too confident, but sound like they don’t know what they’re talking about, I’ll encourage them to go to class. If you come in fearful, but ‘these are the classes I’ve been to, these are the scenes that I’ve watched…’ I think then you’re taking it seriously… We need to make sure ethically that we are not putting dangerous tools in dangerous hands.”

TES Fest is June 30 until July 4, 2023. For details on the event, go to https://TESFest.org.

Mistress Mia Darque Talks about DomCon and Sanctuary Studios on 69 Whiskey Podcast

Hollywood, CA — Mistress Mia Darque recently appeared on 69 Whiskey podcast to talk about professional Domination, DomCon, and the dungeon Sanctuary Studios.

The 69 Whiskey podcast is hosted by “Dollar Store Dom,” Eric Weinstein and Motorboatin’ Matt. The daring duo covers topics ranging from drinking recipes, to kink and adult entertainment. The pair began their show on 107.7 The Bronc and brought it onto internet airwaves for listeners to enjoy their raw, uncensored and unapologetic adult format.

“What does a professional Domme entail?” Inquired Motorboatin’ Matt, regarding lifestyle versus professional BDSM. “Does that just mean that there’s money involved, or is there something more to that?”

“It doesn’t mean that one is better than the other,” Darque responded. “It just means that one has decided to take the time out of their day, to spend their own personal money, to set up skills that are specifically meant for other people. It’s not just for what I want to do…When you deal with someone who’s lifestyle, they give you what they feel that you need, as the Dominant… As a professional, you get to ask and coordinate what you want.”

Mistress Mia Darque has been active in the BDSM society for over 20 years, getting kinky at some of the hottest international fetish clubs, along with doing sessions at her favorite dungeons like Sanctuary Studios LAX. Darque is also a BDSM educator and serves on the board of DomCon where she is active working with their events in Los Angeles and New Orleans.

“I felt that I was not getting the kind of coverage that I wanted,” Darque explained about her first time at the convention. “I had been told by almost every other professional I knew that if you don’t go to DomCon, you really haven’t made it in your career… I had a fuckin’ ball and I was hooked… This was the first time I had the experience of everything in one spot.”

Mistress Mia Darque can be found at https://JustSayRed.com. She will be at DomCon New Orleans, October 26-29 and frequently Dommes at Sanctuary Studios in Los Angeles.

69 Whiskey is sponsored by Balldo and Malehanger. To hear this episode, go to https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/69-whiskey/id1537342341?i=1000613620446
