LA Again (For a Bit)

Posted on December 5, 2011 by january

I’m officially based in LA again, at least until May. I re-partnered in My luxe LA playspace downtown.

I’m taking a break from the building out of the new space in SF. I was a bit ambitious thinking it wouldn’t take as long as it has. Plus, if you know me, you know how much I HATE dirt, and there is so much dust every time I go to my office that I just need to step back from that.

So if you live in, are passing through, or coming to LA just to see Me, send in your session requests- Im in the mood for some serious debauchery :-)

Kinky Indian Summer Greetings!

Posted on October 23, 2011 by january

Greetings Fellow Pervs!

As Indian Summer in San Francisco is in full swing, I find myself wondering where the time went!

Well, there was that concussion (which I’ve finally gotten over entirely), then there was some fundraising for my friend Hollie Stevens, who’s undergoing a brave battle with breast cancer, then a war against the people behind PornWikiLeaks.com, which later prompted me to cofound a non profit, http://AdultPerformers.org with fellow adult industry veteran Nica Noelle, as sexy shoot for Kink.com’s Divine Bitches and then I did the adult webmaster’s tour of Europe, stopping through Amsterdam, Prague, and London. Then NY, LA, Fort Lauderdale… and I’m finally home in SF :-) If you’re interested in any of those stories, they can be found on JanuarySeraph.com/blog or on the blog here, over the past six months.

I’ve added a new feature to MistressJanuary.com, which is a public calendar which specifies which cities I’m available in, and when.

For the moment I’m trying my hardest to stay in SF for a few weeks for two reasons: 1) Now that I’ve settled in, I’m looking forward to both solidifying some connections, and making some new connections with all of the wonderful kindred pervs that SF is home to! 2) so I can make better progress on building out my 3,000 sq ft playspace near Union Square, and so that I can focus on some upcoming sites I have in the works.. Specifically the FemDom and LezDom sites I’m hoping to be producing for by Thanksgiving, the New Year at the latest!

However, by the New Year, I have plans to tear through both New York and Los Angeles a few more times, so make sure to keep up with my travel dates!

In NY:

Sinnamon Love: A B*tch like none other,
with some serious skills to back up the attitude!

Adrianna Nicole: Flirtatious switch,
who specializes in Tease and Denial- emphasis on Denial for most :-)

 

As far as other things that may be of interest to you..

I’m aware that the world’s markets are crazy right now, as are our social and political climates. Rather than tell you that you can’t get your kink on, or lowering my rates, I’ve decided to find a solution that might benefit both of us.

There are, on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis situations that I hire professionals from various trades and practices for. Everything from someone who’s a plumber or contractor to lawyers who specialise in IP and internet law. Then there’s the normal stuff that every woman considers just a part of life- girly maintenance, health care upkeep, accountants, etc.

If money is tight, or you’d just rather revert back to an era where the barter system seemed more palatable, think about what you’re skilled at and/or what you do as a profession, and see if it could somehow be something of use to me. (Please don’t bore me with sexual service offers.) Perhaps we can work out a way for you to have more fun, and me to get more done :-)

With Kink,
January Seraph

Traits I Find Sexy in A submissive

Posted on August 26, 2011 by january

One of my vanilla friends recently was asking me what on earth I found sexy about submissive men. Clearly, she “doesn’t get it”.

I tried to describe the physical and mental rush I get when engaging with a truly wonderful and fun submissive male. While I don’t think she’s convinced (yet) I do think that she’s a bit more open to it after I described the two traits I value most in a sub that I play with.

1. Honesty.

Not honesty as in I need to know every last detail down to his social security number, but honesty as in sharing with me his most hidden self, that no one else gets to even know exists. I love keeping delicious secrets, and sharing a special bond with someone that few (if any) other people are able to share.

2. A Willingness to Please

Now don’t jump the gun and start telling me how good you are with your tongue! That’s actually an instant turn off for me. I mean to please me with good manners, thoughtfulness, and service- be that domestic service, offering your body as a canvas, or participating in either my chosen debauchery of the moment or in one of my various projects.

I’m Done with Time Off..

Posted on August 12, 2011 by january

And I couldn’t be happier about it. My head injury is completely healed, my memory seems to be back intact, and my Dominatrix need for excitement, perversions, and debauchery is at an all time high.

In other words.. It is time to get my Dominatrix kink on!

My new playspace is a bit behind schedule due to my injury, but I still have another great place in SF at my disposal, in addition to my “have implements, will travel” motto :-)

I’m busy sorting through all the application submissions I’ve received over the last six months, so if you want to get moved to the top of the list, I suggest you resubmit your info. Otherwise, just be patient :-)

See you soon..

With Kink,
January

Exclusion, pt 2

Posted on August 12, 2011 by january

I wrote an article on AdultPerformerAdvocate.org about Adult Performers being subtly excluded from what many consider the Adult Industry.. You can check it out here.

From JanuarySeraph.com on Exclusion, part 1

Posted on August 5, 2011 by january

Lately, the theme of exclusion seems to be relevant in my life.

I identify as the following: A Dominatrix, An Adult Performer, A Sex Worker and a Member of the Adult Industry. However, it would seem that others claim they have more stake in those groups than I do, or that I have no stake at all.

Too “porn” to be a Dominatrix..

A little over a year ago I was invited, and then uninvited, to be a part of a calendar project, showcasing Pro Dommes. After ascertaining that the project wasn’t actually a profitable revenue source for the publisher, and that the calendars were also donated to raise funds for various BDSM groups, I also offered to donate a full day of studio time to the calendar, to shoot whomever else the publisher chose.

I was uninvited after the publisher of the calendar realized a few days after inviting me that I also work as an adult performer. Her email to me was the following:

“Dearest January, I would like to know if you are continuing to produce and star in videos for Smutty Productions and Ball Busting/CBT torment. On a professional level this concerns me greatly. I require that all of the Pro Dommes in my production are not filming any sexual acts to protect my name, and themselves as well. I truly appreciate your allowing us to shoot at Ivy Manor, and look forward to working with you.
Sincerely, ”

My response was, “While I am no longer producing as part of Smutty Productions, I will continue to combine BDSM with sexual acts in videos that I am in in the future. My stance is that a sex worker is a sex worker is a sex worker, regardless of what subcategory of sex work they perform. To differentiate to attain an imaginary moral high ground is narrow minded, short sighted and counterproductive to sex workers rights and the sex positive feminist movement.

To preserve your good name, I am withdrawing my invitation to use my studio free of charge for your production.

Best Regards,
January”

Not long after that incident, I decided to audit a three day seminar in SF that was a training course for aspiring Pro Dominatrices. I only attended one day, as I was actually quite offended by one of the instructors. When showing me where the restrooms in the playspace were, she pointed out that one was private with a door that would lock, and one was not, with a toilet in a room without a door where people could view the person using the facility directly, or walk into the room to use the sink.

“But I’m sure you have no need for the private facility, I’ve seen your videos,” she snidely remarked with a smile.

Really? In what video have you seen me using the restroom? The truth is, I have total public restroom anxiety, and only use them if absolutely necessary. The non private restroom she had shown me is kind of on my list of “dreads”.

Those are only two examples of those in the Pro Domme community who have decided that I’m not a part of the “in crowd” because I also do adult video work. There’s quite a few others who have expressed similar sentiments.

TBC..
