There’s also glow in the dark toys and blacklight rope for the Glow Party on Friday night and count on us to have paddles, floggers, and restraints you can buy for the kink area.”

Friday is the “Let’s Glow Crazy” party, with a live band and guests are encouraged to dress as bright as possible. Saturday day features the pool party, with a heated pool and hot tub. Swing Bingo is on the schedule, along with additional games and contests for prizes. Saturday night of course, is the big Hallow Scream Ball, with dancing cages, strip poles, live DJ and a monstrous costume contest.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the fear,” continued Bryne. “We’ll have themed tarot decks, and occult books available. It’s shocking how good our wax play kits and violet wands are too. Don’t miss it.”

Mia Darque Gives Kinky Advice and Talks About DomCon on The Weekly Hot Spot Podcast

World Wide Web — Mistress Mia Darque was recently a guest on The Weekly Hot Spot Podcast for a two-part show giving advice on Female Domination and why subbies don’t need to be shy about going to a BDSM convention like DomCon.

The Weekly Hot Spot is a BDSM advice podcast, hosted by Mistress Olivia and Ms Erika. The pair are active in the fetish scene and provide Distance Domination over the phone. Their show offers candid conversations about sex, fetish, BDSM, kink, phone sex and even vanilla erotic pleasure.

Mistress Mia Darque is a professional Dominatrix with over 20 years of loving Dominance in the kinky lifestyle and community. The 6’3″ Domina from Oklahoma 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 conventions in Los Angeles and New Orleans.

Olivia and Erika asked Darque about hesitations and fears men might have of bad experiences in kink.

“There’s no such thing as good times all the time,” noted Darque. “You can’t have one hundred percent control over it. It might go well, it might go very well. But it also might flop. When those moments come along, you have to step back for a second, rearrange yourself, see where you might have been a part of that equation, or realize other parts that didn’t work out the way they were supposed to, and eliminate that. Go back out there, and do it again. If you fall off the bike, you don’t just become scared of tires.”

“What could I expect at this type of event?” Ms Erika asked regarding DomCon NOLA.

I like to think of it as a fetishy, friendly, family reunion in New Orleans,” explained Darque. “The host hotel is great to us… The classes that we have, the teachers that we get to come in… we’ve had some of everybody, not just from the United States, but from Canada, Mistress Jaguar of Mexico, Goddess Cleo from the UK, Mistress Gabrielle from Australia. We literally have folks that come in from everywhere on the planet… it gets a little more fun every time. This year is our 20th year… There’s no telling how it’s going to be, especially with the second line parade, because we go all out.”

“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.
