The Importance of Being Stevie


So, the Night of a Thousand Stevies event is coming up on May 9th, and I am already planning my costume. I'm organizing a merry little band of gypsy women for this event, but I intend to look respectably Domme-like. The photo above is what I'm basing my look on, complete with a velvet stovepipe hat, a brocade coat, feathers, a corset underneath, a monocle (she doesn't have one, but I feel like I need one), and the most amazing pair of velvet platform boots I can track down on this planet of ours.

It is a good thing I have three months, because I can do this right. I have a coworker who is also planning an outfit, to complement mine -- she's wearing all white, in Stevie's ballet-inspired phase. We're going to look like Good and Evil, hand in hand. We've started scouring vintage shops, the City Opera thrift store, a variety of really silly (but really fun) online fantasy-shops, as well as every kinky store in Manhattan. I will know where to buy ostrich feathers when I get done with this project, I can tell you that. I'll be able to make a glitter tambourine in less than a day. It may not seem like it, but this is crucial Domme stuff. Nobody should try topping a boy unless she knows how to be the Gold Dust Woman.

I'm just sayin'.
