The Baroness’ Fête au Bord de la Piscine en Latex—la Dernière Édition de la Saison—a Été un Succès

7 Septembre, 2024

(In English below)

Heureusement, le soleil est resté suffisamment présent pour que je puisse organiser mon dernier week-end de fête intime en latex à la piscine et à la salle de jeux. La pluie s’est maintenue jusqu’au dîner, que nous avons simplement déplacé à l’intérieur. Les chambres d’hôtes étaient toutes occupées. Ma vision du « Domaine de l’esprit » se concrétise lentement avec des invités du monde entier : Inde, Allemagne, États-Unis et toute la France.

Évidemment, ce sont les gens qui font la fête. Un grand merci aux kinksters qui croient en ma vision et veulent en faire partie ! Tout le monde a aidé en fonction de ses compétences : Le donjon est maintenant entièrement fonctionnel. Il dispose même d’une salle de bain complète, mais sans murs pour l’instant. Robin, fétichiste et constructeur de latex, a fourni des balles en plastique de taille humaine pour la piscine, ainsi que d’étranges engins en caoutchouc pour la fête d’après-dîner.

Le gardien s’occupait de la piscine et du terrain. Lady Thera, venue de New York pour être la maîtresse invitée, a été d’une aide inestimable ; elle a contribué à ce que tout se passe bien dans le manoir tout en documentant et en appréciant les festivités. Superpup s’est occupé de la nourriture.

Les 14 participants, impatients de faire partie de cette nouvelle communauté, sont arrivés habillés pour impressionner et prêts à jouer. Ils sont repartis avec de nouveaux amis et partenaires de jeu, et avec l’envie de participer aux événements de l’année prochaine !

J’ai entendu à plusieurs reprises que la France n’était pas un pays fétichiste et qu’il n’y avait rien de comparable à ce que je construisais ici. Merci à tous mes invités de m’avoir aidée à réaliser ce projet !

Fortunately it stayed sunny enough for my season finale “intimate latex-only pool and play party weekend”. The rain  held off until dinner, which we simply moved inside. It was a full house with guest rooms all occupied.  My vision of “La Domaine de L’esprit” is slowly coming to fruition with guests from around the world: India, Germany, the U.S., and all over France. 

Obviously it’s the people who make the party. Many thanks to the kinksters who believe in my vision and want to be a part of it! Everyone helped based on their skillset: The dungeon is now fully functional. It even has a full bathroom, though without walls for now. Fetishist and latex builder Robin provided human sized plastic balls for the pool along with bizarre rubber contraptions for the after-dinner play party.

The grounds-keep tended both pool and grounds. Lady Thera—who came from New York to be the guest mistress—was invaluable; she helped make everything run smoothly in the manoir while documenting and enjoying the festivities. Superpup helped with the food. 

All 14 attendees, eager to be a part of this new community, arrived dressed to impress and prepared to play. They left with new friends and play partners, and hungry for next year’s events!

I’ve repeatedly heard that France isn’t a fetish-type place and that there’s nothing like what I’m building here. Thanks to all my guests for your help in making this happen!

A Visit to The Baroness

Nice article with lots of photos and my answers to questions about my NYC boutique, Me, latex, shopping for the holidays and more.

“I am a wee bit nervous as I approach the Baroness and her eponymous latex shop at 530 13th St. (between Avenues A and B). I’d never worn latex before and tend to go through life in jeans and tees, which is a definite no-no at the elegant, well-appointed and provocative showroom where the Baroness designs, creates, fits and sells her line of custom, bespoke, and ready-to-wear latex fashion.”

The Baroness on ‘Pop of the Morning’

On March 4, I was invited to appear on E! Entertainment’s Pop of the Morning as a latex expert to respond to the viral images of Kim Kardashian wearing latex from Balmain’s newest collection. As usual, great opportunities seem to come at the most inopportune time (this time, near the end of a 2-week marathon of working on many incredible outfits for clients and for me for the Texas Latex Party; the day before leaving for TLP; and not having the time to wash my hair or do my nails! Not to mention, first thing in the morning!)

But of course I said yes. It was brief, and while spreading the gospel of latex I still managed to be tactful, I thought. Despite the time constraint I did get host Scott Tweddie into our men’s Captains jacket, in which he looked great!
