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.

Make Way!

The New Goddess on the block has ARRIVED! I'm so excited to be launching my website and make my splash into the NYC scene. More coming soon.
