Is it just Me or have you also noticed BDSM showing up in mainstream media more and more? Whether it's a mention of golden showers on a tv show, or articles on spanking and foot fetish, it seems like more people are interested in and talking about BDSM and kink. Personally, I think it's wonderful that this subject is becoming more mainstream. In general, I think more people are kinky than we have been lead to believe and My hope is that kink and BDSM can be accepted as healthy forms of sexual self-expression. I'm doing My part to make that hope a reality, by teaching classes, mentoring newbie Femdoms, and giving My input for various articles. Recently I was interviewed by Sophie Saint Thomas for Allure magazine! Check out the article on foot care tips and foot fetish. It's still blowing My mind a bit that such a mainstream magazine is featuring articles like this. Bravo Allure! And if you haven't already, check out this article on CBT by Refinery 29 that I was featured on. I'm really thrilled to be able to share My knowledge and perspective with a broader audience.
CA vibes - DomConLA and Dominating SF
It's official: I made it to My first DomCon! I was very excited to see what the convention was all about, meet other kinksters, and enjoy some CA vibes! As soon as I landed and checked into the hotel, I was a busy bee, with 3 sessions back to back! I wore lingerie and leather while training and humiliating My subs. They were lucky to serve Me that day, being the Goddess that I am.
As the weekend went on, I caused all kinds of trouble! Saturday in particular was a wonderful day of shooting guns, lounging by a beautiful pool, and then attending the Fetish Ball at night. I had the best time with some of My close, kinky friends and make some new connections along the way. Life is a dream when you're a Goddess who has slaves waiting on Me hand and foot and friends to have adventures with.
shooting guns!!!! so fun!!! photo taken by www.instagram.com/the_2500/

My outfit for the Fetish Ball at DomConLA
After dominating LA and having lots of fun in the sun, I set off to San Fransisco. This was My first time visiting, and certainly won't be the last. What I love most about SF (besides the eager subs who were begging to serve Me) is how much nature is a part of the city. Living in NYC has Me craving for trees, beach, open sky. I went on several hikes in SF, had an afternoon at the beach, and generally enjoyed feeling connected to the natural world while enjoying city life. I had a fabulous few days there, with multiple femdom sessions, luxurious hotels with spa visits and massages in My hotel room, and two fetish photoshoots (pics coming soon).
I'm looking forward to My next trip to CA, but for now I'm ruling My empire back home in NYC. Feels great to be back and My regular clients, new male subs, and loyal personal slaves. I also have lots of fun weekend trips coming up, including a Goddess retreat this weekend and a visit to Boston June 18-20th. If you're interested in serving Me in a session while I'm in Boston, fill out a contact form. And as always, to see more pics from My Goddess Life, check out My Twitter @goddessaviva and Instagram @thegoddessaviva.
My crazy weekend and more articles on BDSM
What a crazy, amazing, beautiful weekend I just had! Mostly it was filled with tantalizing sexual adventures: having a male top offer himself to Me as a sex-slave and deliver with his skills (I'm so sexy and manipulating even Doms want to submit to Me), a private play party at what I consider NYC's sexiest private club where I did a workshop on D/s, and a steamy all-night-into-the-next-morning threesome with a God and Goddess straight from heaven. On top of all that, I got to meet the amazing sex-writer for Refinery29, Sophie, and we dished on CBT and foot fetishes. It's such a treat to meet fun, smart, interesting people in the scene and connect on BDSM and the lifestyle. Sophie and I got along so well she even quoted Me in a couple of recent articles for Refinery29! Check out what I have to say about CBT here, identifying as a switch here, and foot fetish here. And for those that enjoyed My piece with Metro about 10 Questions, I went even deeper in the latest article: BDSM is an "Act of Compassion".
It's such a joy to be living this life, exploring and connecting with people through kink and BDSM, and sharing all of that with the mainstream through articles. I hope you enjoy reading about these topics as much I enjoyed talking about them!
Post-threesome morning scene...what a great night!
Interview with Metro!!!
I've been back in NYC for almost a month since all of My international winter travels, and what a month it has been! While I still dream of the perfect beaches and hot surfers of Sydney, it feels amazing to be in NYC. It's been wonderful to come back to My stable of slaves and regular clients: thank you all for your warm welcome home, I can tell you all missed Me so much! As I continue to build My empire, make self-improvements, and expand My influence as a Dominatrix and BDSM teacher, it gives Me great pride to be able to reach more of the mainstream and dispel some misconceptions about what it means to be a professional and lifestyle Dominatrix. For anyone who's had questions for a Dominatrix, My interview with Metro is a great read! I met the writer, Kimberly, at an NSFW event where I was teaching D/s and impact play. I hope to continue to be a voice for sex and kink-positivity, BDSM that is Safe Sane and Consensual, and tapping into/expressing our divine sexual selves.

A Vacation Down Under
I've officially landed in Sydney! I've been too preoccupied with relaxing and unwinding that I haven't been posting as much here or on social media. I'm absolutely loving it so far: trips to the beach, amazing museums and galleries, hot surfer boys everywhere, beautiful nature, and most importantly time to relax and take care of Myself with daily yoga and meditation and lots of delicious, healthy food. . Life really is a dream when you're a Goddess who gets flown around the world to enjoy wonderful adventures. I'm having a blast here: meeting new personal slaves, connecting with fellow Dommes, providing femdom sessions, getting naughty and playing, and exploring this gorgeous city.
My January Boston and Chicago trip!
I had such an amazing trip to Boston and Chicago this January. At the insistence (and financial sponsorship) of some of My regular clients, I made this winter trip to two of My favorite cities. Even in the dead of winter, things got heated up with lots of BDSM playtime. It's always a pleasure to see familiar faces (and other body parts) with My regulars, further pushing boundaries and expanding on previous sessions. I also thoroughly enjoyed meeting new subs and slaves, and leaving My lasting impression. Nothing quite like hearing "Wow!" and "I love this. I love you." or how a client had to spend 20 minutes looking for his parked car after a session because he was in such a daze after experiencing My glory.
This was only My second time in Chicago, and certainly won't be My last. I think Chicago looks like a city of the future, with such stunning architecture I had to stop and stare even in the cold wind. I had a wonderful time taking in sites, eating delicious food, and visiting the Shedd Aquarium and the Art Institute. In particular I was enthralled with the collection of delicious velvets in the textiles section: so much luxury had Me imagining Myself as a Queen, sitting on a velvet throne in a fitted velvet gown of deep crimson, golden crown balancing perfectly on My head. All in all, this trip was a great reminder of how fabulous My Goddess life is, and how much I enjoy these work and pleasure tours.
Ending 2016 and prepping for 2017
2016 has been such an amazing year!! This is the year that I really took on what Goddess Life means to Me and how to create it for Myself. I moved into a Goddess Palace with other Goddesses, where we can be our kinky selves and have slaves serve us. As soon as I made the decision to move and find a place, within a week I had manifested Goddess roommates and an amazing duplex with all the amenities that make My home life luxurious and create sacred space for Us to live in. I took taking care of My body and mind to a new level: regular workouts, meditation, and healthy eating. I've also become so clear around what being a Lifestyle and professional Dominatrix means to Me, developing My personal slave relationships and taking My business to greater heights. I'm ready to start off 2017 with this intention and power to surpass even bigger goals! My definition of a Goddess is a woman who is in touch with her divinity, who knows what she wants, and betters herself to get it. This is a daily practice for Me. I hope everyone can think of ways to improve themselves and expand in 2017. The only way to have our lives change is to change ourselves! Are you ready to make changes, to evolve, to better than you were yesterday?
Another fun trip to Boston!
I just got back to NYC from another fantastic trip to Boston. Boston slaves: you really are fun!! I had a great time being served and spoiled, abusing and controlling My subs and slaves, and getting know your deepest/darkest secrets. It really is such an honor to hold space for someone to express these inner desires, and lead them into subspace to explore them. I look forward to another visit soon, as you Boston bitches can't seem to get enough of Me. I even fit in a sexy photoshoot at My hotel, hot pics coming soon. Also be on the look out for the announcement bar on My website with travel info, and as always fill out a contact form to apply for a session.
first time in chicago
I'm having a blast exploring Chicago for the first time and dominating the bitches here! I love all the beautiful architecture and urban life. And although it's been so cold, I've been coming up with creative ways to stay warm ;) It's also been the perfect opportunity to rock My leather and fur. I'll definitely want to come back to this amazing city.
The view from my hotel window. I love all the amazing architecture here!
Boston bitches
I had such an amazing trip to Boston the 10-12th! It's always a pleasure to come to that great city and be served by such amazing subs and slaves. Thank you Boston for always taking such good care of Me! I felt completely pampered with chauffeurs, errand boys, dinner dates, and of course the great subs who served Me in session - you know who you are! I finally had the chance to break in the new PVC stiletto boots from My wish-list, and they were a total hit! If you missed Me on this trip, you may get the chance to serve next month, as I'm considering another visit in mid-December. As always, follow protocol and fill out a contact form to book.
Using My Blog Again
It's been ages since I've used the blog feature on my website, so I'm excited to get back into it. I feel I have too many interesting experiences and insights not to be sharing with my fans. To start things off, I want to share this article from Quartz that discusses how a kinky sex life is actually healthy and can help us get into a state of "flow", I couldn't agree more! I'm all about a sex- and kink-positive lifestyle, so keep exploring and finding what works for you.
NYC Fetish Party
Some friends organized a private fetish party last night, so of course I took a little piggy slave of mine and had a blast! Matching outfits, a bag of toys, luxurious penthouse setting, and sexy people all made for a memorable night.
I'm baaaaaack!
It feels so good to be back in NYC after so much time away! I'm settled in and ready to kick some ass. I just got these new boxing gloves and have started training again, perfecting my punching and kicking for slaves. I've also been practicing my florentine flogging. Get ready slaves... it's going to be a hot summer!
Art and Domination
Jacques Biederer was a Czech photographer who began his Parisian career in 1913, starting with G-rated portraits. His work began to become more conventionally sexual. In the 1920's and 1930's, the Biederer Studio became one of the main producers of fetish and highly erotic photography in Paris. Personally I love thinking about people in the 1920's exploring BDSM and kink and documenting it in these beautiful black and white photos. Some things never get old!
More information and images here.
New Photo Shoot
All of yesterday was spent prepping and creating a new fetish photo shoot. I'm so excited to share the photos soon, but here's a sneak peak...
Art and Domination
This is the second of my Art and Domination posts where I post images of BDSM, kink, and Goddesses found in all forms of art. They are subjects that have interested artists and viewers for as long as people have been creating art.
Today I have a classic: Robert Mapplethorpe. An American photographer known for his often controversial black and white photography. Many of his images have a BDSM styling and are simply gorgeous. Learn more about Mapplethorpe here.
Spring Equinox
Spring has arrived! And with the Spring Equinox, a powerful New Moon, and Solar Eclipse: a perfect combination to perform a Goddess Ceremony. On this eve I performed such a ceremony alone, setting intentions for the rest of the year, shedding what no longer serves, and tapping into my Divine Power. Many blessings await this Spring and I intend to enjoy them all!
Slave Gifts
Nothing better than having a slave show his appreciation and servitude by offering up a fat stack of cash. Of course if he didn't, I might just have to cut his dick off so I can have my play thing with me always... I love using my naughty and devious mind to control my subs.
Jamaica Yeah Mon!
Living the life of a Goddess means free trips to Jamaica! It was so good to get out of the city for some sunshine and warmth. I love when my slaves take me to exotic locations. Now I'm back and ready to cause trouble!
Art and Domination
With a deep interest in art and haute couture, I've thought it would be fun to start sharing posts that look at placing Goddess worship, BDSM, and fetish into a historical context by looking at examples in art history and fashion. For my first post in this vein, I'm showing The Birth of Venus by French painter Bouguereau:
Painted in 1879, it shows Venus, Goddess of love, beauty, sex, and desire, being transported on a shell after her birth. In this painting, she exhibits many qualities of Goddess: grace, sensuality, power, as well as being surrounded by many adoring fans and servants.
