3 March 2010: Further Reformatory & Doll House Glimpses

Ten years ago I returned to Yorkshire from London to the rejuvenating qualities of the moors and I bought a rustic property to develop and that became The Practice. That little detached cottage became my playhouse from which I enticed submissive and masochistic males from across the world to fill my days with dark novel pleasures. I was the playful and erotic Miss X in my little house, experimenting wildly with humiliating, punishing and bizarre practices and I adored it. I had found my calling as a teacher in my own school of alternative adult education. I developed an acute interest in infantilisation and sissification and I had a Wendy House built in my cottage grounds in which I specialised in the adult nursery. But then I outgrew the cottage and the nursery. I am still a little girl in mind (in the body of a matron) and I still have the little house but now I also have a big house in which I am all grown up as Lady Governa and I am very set in my disciplinary and belittling ways at my District Reformatory & Doll House. I know exactly what I want in my home and reformatory ~ to keep men captive, to discipline them, to torment them, to belittle them, to sissify them and to record my work in the written word and the dramatic image. I do so like the idea of a man being powerless to resist the lure of a woman in the home that she has made a reformatory for the man.

This house is a work in development and I will only reveal glimpses in to the story so far...

3 March 2010: Visit the Reformatory & Doll House & Shoppe ~ next week only

I have a surplus to requirements stock of AB & sissy clothing, nursery items, my personal items of clothing and footwear, and my AB&SissC Annuals issues 1 & 2 for sale.

If you would like to visit the District Reformatory & Doll House to meet me and purchase items then do contact me ASAP. This invitation is for next week only as I continue to furnish the house and clear out my surplus stock of nursery and personal items.

25 February 2010: Reformatory Glimpse

I have but had the time to photograph the front door. I have been juggling delivery men and reformatory attendees this week as I complete the unpacking and arrange the furnishings. It will be some time before I am satisfied but I am now smiling. It is all coming together nicely.

I am using this newfangled device called a 'dongle' to access the internet and e-mail.

More images over the weekend...

17 February 2010: Relocation Period Contact

From Thursday morning I am at the mercy of British Telecom to set up my internet connection at the District Reformatory & Doll House new premises so from that date and until further notice, I will be contactable by telephone and post only not e-mail.

Do be sure that you are familiar with the information at the Introduction page of my website that details contact and attendance protocol as I am renowned for my brusque telephone manner and unforgiving nature. I do not answer telephone calls from withheld numbers and I do not respond to text messages.

13 February 2010: Amazon Gift Certificate ~ Attendance Deposit & Gift

I recently discovered the Amazon Gift Certificate e-mail service at Amazon and it has proven a great success for payment deposit for attendance and gifts. It is an anonymous process so your personal and financial details are kept private and secure and I simply receive a notification of the Gift Certificate with any message that you add. I receive the Gift Certificate immediately by e-mail and I can then use this as cash at Amazon. This method of payment of the attendance deposit saves the time delay of visiting the post office to send cash by recorded delivery and also any risk of loss so it is now my preferred option for attendance deposit.

10 February 2010: District Reformatory & Doll House ~ Grand Opening

I can now formally announce that the District Reformatory & Doll House proper will be open for attendance from 22 February 2010 on the outskirts of Halifax.

I have been caught up in the property recession for the past couple of years and it has been quite a trial to this point. I have been searching for a property in hard times with slim pickings and it has been a vexation. I have travelled the length and breadth of Yorkshire to find a substantial property suitable as my residence and as a reformatory with rooms for boarding facilities and soirees. I have considered a wealth of property ~ from isolated farmstead to Victorian school house to converted chapel to village inn ~ and I have finally settled on a... Well, you will just have to wait and see... As soon as I have unpacked then I will be taking photos and film to feature at the website. Of course, as is my little hobby, I will also be developing some very special content for a private area here too.

As tradition affords, I do have a house warming gift list of practical items (one can simply never have enough crockery or crystal) here at Amazon (an anonymous process) though Amazon or Argos gift vouchers or other gifts are most welcome , so do give generously to a worthy cause of the furnishing of a fine and goodly District Reformatory & Doll House for the reformation of the adult male ~ and perhaps you will be blessed to see the gift in person in situ... at an attendance or at a soiree as I will, indeed, be holding events at the District Reformatory & Doll House to which trusted attendees and respected ladies will be invited.

(Thank you for the teapot, totty. Thank you for the gift certificate, 'Boots'. Thank you for the gift certificate, Lynne. Thank you for the gift certificate, Nicky. Thank you for the crystal glasses, Naval Officer. Thank you for the dinner service, T.)

4 February 2010: Fine Dining Not Fast Food

An attendance at the District Reformatory & Doll House is an expensive luxury. It is something very special. It is a rare treat to be savoured. It is fine dining for the mind and body. I make no excuse for the fees that I charge. The longer one has to wait and save the pennies then the greater the want, the need, the anticipation, the excitement, the pleasure and the reward one gains. There is little gratification in instant gratification. That should provide salve and hope for the presently impoverished and a re-education for the cheap & cheerful chaps.

I have updated the Introduction page with further details of set courses of treatment and fees at the District Reformatory & Doll House.

31  January 2010: Extreme Treatment: Torment & Catharsis

Confinement, restraints, spanking, whipping, breath control, sissification, golden bottle feeds, violet wand, nappy & rubbers, enema...

19  January 2010: The Sublime Pleasure of Your Sufferance

The juxtapositions ~ desire and guilt, discipline and indulgence, excitement and fear, pleasure and pain ~ are fundamentals of the human condition. From tribal ritual through Victorian Christianity to Gothic romanticism ~ in art, literature, religion, sport ~ there is a spiritual and sensuous elevation and enhancement in the sufferance of a personal trial or sacrifice. The human mind, body and spirit require the stimulation and catharsis that comes with personal challenge and the unknown ~ the stuff that has the man clinging to the side of a mountain or the man trading punches in the ring or the man bending to the rod at my hand.

This is a concept that reduces the collective might of the politically correct brigade, the health and safety executive, and the thought police to that of a pen with no ink.

Of course, there are those occasions when all we need for fulfilment is a cup of tea and an early night ~ and then we go and spill the hot tea in the lap...

17 January 2010: But is it Art?

The previous entry and the questions come flooding in ~ Is it real? Is it Photoshop? How can it be so red? ~ but only 2 people know the answers and I am one and the other is the man in the image.

This degree of CP is a rarity ~ and it takes a rare breed to administer it as it does to receive it.

I see the beauty in many forms of CP ~ from the blush of a spanking to the stripes of a caning to the bruises of a strapping to the blood of a beating ~ but only in the controlled environment of the practice of discipline.

I consider it to be a physical art as well as a physical education.

Now I have made my point and mark with this brief glimpse in an image that will soon disappear ~ as do the cuts and bruises of it but not the memory of it.

This is his memory of it...

16 January 2010: Severe or Judicial Punishment

I am placing this photo of one of the most severe corporal punishments I have administered ~ so do be warned that it is a bloody beautiful bottom to behold. I do hope that it acts as a deterrent for the naive and the fantasist from requesting a severe or judicial punishment from me that would be far beyond their capability and comprehension. I am very selective as to the bottoms I bloody and I take pride in my work and administering corporal punishment for the greater good.

This corporal punishment consisted of 500 strokes over the course of an afternoon with a variety of implements, including the rubber whip, the dragon cane and the wooden paddle. This was a considered, careful and caring administration of CP to an extreme level ~ as only a puritan would understand.

7  January 2010: The 'Punishment & Pain' and The 'Adult Nursery' Archives

For those who are not familiar with my previous websites, there is now a pictorial study of my work in The Archives linked below. I have selected some of my favourites from the 1000s of photos I have taken of my charges over the years.

There is the Punishment & Pain Gallery from my initial experimental adventures as a dominatrix and the Adult Nursery Gallery from my recent years of specialism as the adult nursery governess.

Click here for a sample of the Punishment & Pain Archive Gallery

I have been privileged to have explored extremes of femdom and BDSM with some very special attendees and experiences from genital torture to judicial caning to human puppetry. From this, I have developed and honed my personal style and focus that is now at its pinnacle in The District Reformatory & The Doll House ~ the delights of which are yet to be revealed...

2  January 2010: New Year Greetings

I have been away and out of internet and phone contact over the festive season, as many of you will have learnt. Of course, as tradition dictates, the server of my website throws a tantrum over the festive season , and, in my absence, visitors to the Lady Governa site were redirected (albeit for a day) to a site revealing 'the full monty', as they say...

Anyway, we are now back on track and the Lady Governa site content is right and proper.

I spent Christmas at a country house in North Yorkshire and New Year at a country house in Suffolk ~ a terribly indulgent time of wall to wall grandeur, fine dining and big band entertainment. The grim northern weather did try to thwart travel plans with its snow and black ice but a tow rope, a four wheel drive and a determined effort saved the day, though the winter flu bug hitched a ride too. I am typically a solitary type and hate to travel far from home so this sojourn was a rare treat and next year, indeed, I envisage a soiree at The District Reformatory, by the strictest invitation only.

The District Reformatory is set to be an ever grander affair this new year... watch this page!

16 December 2009: A Reformed Christmas Carol from an old (sissy) boy of mine, totty

O beg, all ye recalcitrants,
Sorrowful and repentant,
O come ye to the Reformatory,
To kneel and submit;
Hail! The Queen of Dominance;
She who is born to Rule,
O come, let us adore Her,
O come, let us adore Her,
O come, let us adore Her,
Lady Governa.

O plead, school of miscreants,
Plead in trepidation,
Fear these tools of punishment,
Wielded by our Lady;
She who is so merciless,
Craving is not heeded,
O come, let us adore Her,
O come, let us adore Her,
O come, let us adore Her,
Lady Governa.

All Hail! Lady, we awake to Thee,
Inspection on this morning,
Bent over in correction,
By Your Guiding Hand;
Word of the Goddess,
Now in Rubber appearing;
O come, let us adore Her,
O come, let us adore Her,
O come, let us adore Her,
Lady Governa.

All together now, boys and girlies...

10 December 2009: Words from My Marionette, Thithy Katie

The District Reformatory
Pain and correction in purgatory.

Fearful inmates suffer inspection
Strict obedience through merciless correction.

Your surrendered flesh, your quivering hole
All under Lady Governa's control.

To be purged through pain as She sees fit
By enema, strap, cane or whip.

So suffer in your cell in your shackles and chains
At the Reformatory, a place of uncommon pain.

8 December 2009: The Lady Governa Ethos & Motto - for those who have not yet learnt this by heart...

~

Lady Governa Ethos

The man is belittled & kept in his place for his own good & her own pleasure...

He is a ward, a pupil, an infant, a sissy, a doll, a pet, a toy, a plaything ... for a moment or a lifetime, as she so wishes. He is a vulnerable yet potent creation of the woman who controls and nurtures him, as is her prerogative. The adult male is enticed and regressed by the adult female and forced into a helpless and vulnerable state in her delicate hands. The man is physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually dominated and manipulated by the woman. He is immobilised and incapacitated, disciplined and humiliated by her. He is made to submit to her will, her whim and her desire. The man is stripped of his adult male status and he is laid bare by her natural seductive power and control. The woman utilises her womanly wiles and charms to emasculate and disempower the man. His freedom of choice and movement is taken from him and he must do as the woman demands for her pleasure or suffer her displeasure. He is kept as a plaything in restraint and containment by his female owner. He loses control of the most basic of functions of movement, feeding, toileting and sex. He is disciplined and punished, mocked and chastised, teased and cooed over, dressed in frills and fancies, displayed as a novelty, treated as a human toy for her entertainment. He is ashamed yet aroused at this humiliation and cruelty that he cannot stop. His inherent weakness is his sexual desire for seduction by the female and this is used against him by the provocative and powerful woman. His erect cock is the explicit manifestation of the desire that he cannot hide and she controls its pleasure and pain, release and restraint, as she sees fit. He is a dependant for his physical and sexual release and he must beg for her attention and for her mercy. The man is belittled in this most fundamental form of male submission and female domination. Her feminine beauty is the natural weapon of the woman and her high heels, black stockings, red lips & red nails adorn this.

He loves and hates it. He craves and fights it.

The Lady does so love to tantalise and torment her playthings. She is so very creative and cruel with her toys.

Lady Governa Recital

manipulate his sex

gag his cries

force-feed his hunger

sissify his dress

confine his genitals

3 December 2009: Stripped, Spanked, Sissified, Strapped, Striped... 

11 November 2009: Indulgence

I have spent a long weekend in London enjoying belated birthday treats of: a theatre trip to The Woman in Black, a concert by Fleetwood Mac, a grand hotel spa pampering from head to toe and champagne, more champagne and even more champagne. Thank you kindly, 'PM'.

Such is life that I have returned to the frozen North to suffer a chill and I am fit only for sniffling, sneezing, and shivering and getting high as a kite on my home-made cold remedy of a lemon, honey and brandy draught to be sipped and topped up throughout the day.

23 October 2009: Discipline & Punishment

Naval Officer attends for his annual disciplinary sentence of extreme sanctions of punishment and humiliation that includes judicial use of the cane on the buttocks and the thighs, ginger figging of the anus, clamping of the nipples, electric shock therapy, and so on...

These extreme acts are carried out with dedication and control and to an exacting standard.

It is a delightful duty for Lady Governa and an excruciating experience for Naval Officer.

16 October 2009: Rubber Dress Photos

Time flies and canes swish here as plans for The District Reformatory boarding school grow in momentum.

I had a super time at the fetish event over the weekend and I do hope to go to the next bash in the spring. It was a no camera affair but after the fact I took some photos of a couple of my outfits. I have a handful more photos and a couple of film clips for you to pay attention to the rustle of the rubber, which I will upload in due course.

8 October 2009: Lady Mac

My SBR mackintosh has its own fan club so for those loyal followers, here is a bit more of the 'Lady Mac' in action in 2 film clips.

(films now at Intro. page)

7 October 2009: Rubberwear

I am attending a 'polite' fetish event this weekend at a hotel in the south of England, which is to include a dinner dance and a rubber fashion show. It is for those of us who like to wear rubber, vinyl or leather as daily attire. It has taken some time to find an event that does not take place in a seedy pub or nightclub and involve New Age or rave music and drugs as the entertainment ~ so fingers crossed for a bit of refinement...

I shall take some snapshots of me in my rubber finery for the next update here.

I have picked out a couple of rubber dresses of a suitably 'matronly erotique' design that are to be polished to a fine shine to wear over the weekend along with a pair of patent leather Oxford style 5" high heels, and, of course, a shiny black rubber mackintosh that is a daily necessity in the year long rainy season here.

I should make clear the difference between my traditional style of rubberwear that I term 'robust' rubber attire and the more common latex rubber variety. The robust rubberwear is a heavier gauge rubber, which is thicker and more robust than latex rubber, and it is typically used in classic rainwear designs such as the mackintosh or cape but it can also be used to make other garments. The latex rubberwear is a lighter gauge rubber, which is thinner and more flimsy than robust rubberwear, and it is typically used in fetish fashions or clubwear and also underwear. I do not like the latex moulded and glued rubber skintight outerwear but latex rubber does have its place for me in vintage style underwear in latex such as camisole and bloomers and also gloves.

My favourite rubberwear is SBR, which is an abbreviation of Shiny Black Rubber, and it is the most robust rubberwear of rubber with a cotton backing that is cut and stitched to make garments. Robust rubberwear need not be limited to the shiny black rubber as other materials can be rubberised and so silk or satin garments in a range of colours are also available from the few specialist suppliers of traditional rubberwear.

My preference is for the SBR outerwear but I do also like my rubberised black satin dresses, skirts and tops, as well as white or cream latex underwear. I generally wear black patent leather or vinyl shoes or boots with my rubberwear as this is the complement to the glossy finish of SBR.

The appeal of SBR for me is the bold patent shine of the rubber fabric and the rustle of it. It rustles with every movement, heralding one's presence and focussing attention on the figure. It is also practical attire in that it can simply be wiped clean and it is also waterproof. And so, SBR is the perfect attire for the lady governess of a reformatory whose charges are typically wet and sticky for one reason or another.

25 September 2009: Officially A Matron

I turned 40 years old 10 days ago and my vintage form-fitting underwear and I am settling nicely in to the matronly years and the growing wisdom and curves.

I do appreciate all the lovely birthday card greetings and gifts. Thank you kindly.

 I am delighted to have such lovely contact from so many enthusiasts but as I prefer the sedate lifestyle of a lady of means rather than the workload of a pit pony,  I take my time to consider any contact and I am very selective and limiting of the number of attendances I have so it does take some time to receive a response from me. My post and e-mail boxes and mobile phone have been working overtime to accommodate the contact and I am gradually working my way through this so do sit tight all you boys-in-waiting.

I have taken a little break from duty to acknowledge my 40th year but now I am back on task and in due course I will be adding to the website in words and pictures and film.

2 September 2009: Contact

I placed my telephone number at the site and I received approaching 100 telephone calls over the weekend – and all went unanswered. It does state at my Profile page that my preference is for e-mail or postal contact in the first instance and that I have made the telephone number available only as a last resort or for urgent contact and for attendee use. I prefer not to use the telephone as a main form of contact for a number of reasons but primarily due to its appeal to masturbators and madmen and masturbating madmen.

Also, do note that an e-mail consisting of a one-liner and abuse of literacy immediately confirms unsuitability for attendance with me.

Respectful Contact
