VERMONT SOCIETY OF KINK LISTSERV
I am inviting you all to join an online forum for D/s discussions in
Vermont. I am hoping that if all use this forum we will end up with a
stronger community here and better serve the wants and needs of the
people in it. I think an online group has been needed to be able to
share thoughts and ideas. Please invite those who you think might be
interested. By joining VTSocietyofKink, you will be able to exchange
messages with other group members. Yahoo! Groups also makes it easy to
store photos and files, coordinate events and more.

New England Sissy Maid Training Center
Sponsored by ALUR, Inc.
For more information contact: Mistress Infinity/Ms.C.
mainemistress@hotmail.com
I am pleased to announce that NESMTC will be holding
an overnight training get together and class June
22, 2002. This event will be held in New Hampshire. Lodging,
meals, snacks, classes are included. This will be a great way to receive
maid/service training and be more "marketable" to a dominant.
At our last event, Sissy Jennifer, a graduate of
Veronica Vera's Sissy Maid Academy and featured throughout the book, was
our Senior Maid in attendance. She had a good time keeping everyone
happy with fresh drinks and tidying up the hall. I am writing today to
tell you about our next overnight seminar at a conference center in New
Hampshire's picturesque White Mountains.
Early registration is encouraged as we will fill up
fast. This event features dormitory housing in a secluded country
location, for those who would like to get the "girl's school"
atmosphere. Maid uniforms are required and you will need to bring your
own. Check in time is 1 PM on June 22, and check out time is 1 PM on
June 23. So a full 24 hours in an atmosphere of feminization and maid
training is offered. All sissy maid participants will receive a
certificate of attendance.
The early bird price is $125 for the event if your
registration is paid by April 15. There is also a discount for those
interested in being instructors or teacher's aides. I would be happy to
explain that option if you are interested. Novice Dommes are welcome to
attend to receive hands on experience with training.
Dom/mes are also welcome to attend this event if they
have an interest in sissy maids and sissy maid training. Who knows? You
may find the domestic situation of your dreams!
Email me privately today for registration particulars
if you are interested in attending.

NEW DISCIPLINE BDSM MAGAZINE OUT OF QUEBEC
For more information contact: jeanluc@disciplinemagazine.com
www.disciplinemagazine.com
The idea of the magazine is to give a 'news' forum to the scene. It's
primary goal is to act as a link between fetishists, and talk about what
is going on locally: who's doing what, where, when. We try to have news
from as many places as possible. We list local events and are always
looking for local content (interviews, local writers, that sort of
thing). We are an information-based digest size publication. This is not
your typical glossy photo filled fetish magazine, nor will it become
that. We think it's got to be affordable and relevant, so that people
can keep up with what is happening around them.
To Order: Just send a check or money order, etc. We will ship anywhere
we can. The magazine costs $4.99 plus shipping (typically around $2).
Send a money order to Discipline Magazine PO Box 60156 Montreal, Qc
Canada H2J 4E1. We ship in plain unidentifiable envelopes. You can
PayPal copies directly to claudia@ircbar.com

BDSM ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES SURVEY - Your Input Requested from Jack
McGeorge
www.dss.sexresearch.org
Important Survey - Your input is needed! Reliable information
describing our attitudes and practices regarding dominance, submission,
slavery and service will help dispel myths and misunderstandings. Jack
McGeorge is ready to begin phase II of his research with an on-line
questionnaire. Please help this important work by visiting
www.dss.sexresearch.org and completing the 2001 Questionnaire Regarding
Dominance, Submission and Service.
The goal of this survey is to use the collected data to improve my
understanding of both the people who incorporate dominance and
submission (D/s) into their relationships and the role of personal
service in those relationships. Increasing the longevity of D/s
relationships by improving the quality of D/s related instruction is my
long-term goal. This questionnaire and the subsequent survey are
anonymous and all information provided will be treated with the utmost
confidence.
Thank you,
Jack McGeorge
