Goodbye to The Wiggle Room ๐
Read time: 5 minutes.
Goodbye Wiggle Room, hello WAY more free time for Bastienne ๐
Iโm saying goodbye to The Wiggle Room and Iโm officially going part time! For IRL clients this means higher rates and less availability. Effective immediately, June 2024, my rate will increase to $400/hour to account for rental fees going forward.
This simply means that sessions will cost more and clients have to book further in advance. I may come up with a regular booking system, such as, hosting the third Friday and Saturday of each month, but, for now, Iโm playing it by ear.
Besides continuing to host from Studio Ludus, Iโm also looking into fun, non-traditional locations to rent. This might mean, Iโll be closer to you, depending on where youโre located. Perhaps Iโll post a schedule in advance such as September in Hamilton, October in Barrie and November in, who knows! Oshawa? Iโm just kidding, Iโm never hosting in Oshawa.
So, besides me slamming Oshawa for no reason, Iโm really excited! Itโs sad to say goodbye to my cute-ass, private studio space but itโs a much needed refresher for me. You know I like to spice things up and keep myself feeling all twinkly eyed and excited and this is just what the doctor ordered and, by doctor, I mean me, wearing my doctor costume and talking to myself in the mirror ๐ฉโโ๏ธ
With all this free time Iโm finally going to be able to start working on those long forgotten to-do items, the projects that just keep getting deprioritized. You know the ones that you eventually just start ignoring because theyโve been there for so long? I keep forgetting that Iโm only one person so I can only do like 3-5 full time jobs at a time.
Iโm joking, but I'm also kind of not joking.
In the ecosystem of Bastienne, IRL sessions have been my #1 priority for YEARS. Basically, all roads lead to booking sessions - social media, my podcast, my clips, my patreon and my paid messaging services. With this new change, I get to shuffle the deck and Iโm really excited about that.
Now most of my efforts will be put into my online endeavors. Many of which already exist and some I will be launching. Letโs take a peek ๐
Patreon
I started The Wedgie Board Podcast last August and have since posted a new, 5 minute audio roleplay every Wednesday, plus, the occasional wedgie picture or poll. Thereโs now 3.5 hours of roleplay to listen to and weโve got a little group chat going on there too.
Unlike my other platforms, I actually really love taking suggestions over there! Wedgie people are adorable, imaginative and fascinating to me which makes the whole thing just fun as hell, so that will be continuing.
Also, Iโm starting a ballbusting Patreon called Bastienneโs Ballbusting Academy. Similar to The Wedgie Board, Iโll post an audio roleplay or instructional each week. I realized when I started my substack podcast that a lot of people assumed it would be horny, erotica type content and while, it isnโt - this will be! So thatโs fun.
Etsy
My poor Etsy shop must have abandonment issues by now! I havenโt had time to make ballcrushers for MONTHS! Plus I have a list of other fun items I want to work on and add to my store that I simply haven't had time to do thus far. I used to be a carpenter and Iโve sewn since I was 12! Thereโs so many cute, weird, niche, kinky things I could be selling so this winter will be the time for me to dig into that.
SextPanther
Never say never. I used to talk so much shit about sexting and paid chatting platforms. I was very much a โIโm a real Domme, I see real people in real lifeโ type bitch and now, Iโm eating my words. Chatting online is 100% fantasy. Thereโs SO much more to talk about and explore because itโs safe and thereโs a lot less hand holding.
For example, if Iโm messaging a ballbusting sub and I say โIโm going to lock you under my bed permanently and only take you out when I have a bad day so I can kick your balls until you cry!โ I donโt (usually lol) have to caveat that with a lengthy disclaimer about safety and consent and going slow, because itโs all fantasy.
This also means I get to indulge in my exhibitionism, sending nudes and more vanilla content I make with my partner. Kinky people generally donโt really care for more vanilla content and I donโt play well with vanilla people in real life generally so this has ended up serving a real purpose for me. Check out my SextPanther profile here.
Podcast
I started The Trust and Thrust Podcast in the fall of 2020 on substack. I used to post weekly and now post monthly or every few months. It serves 2 functions: My online journal, an outlet for me to talk about the realities of working as a Pro Domme (that's behind a paywall) and a free version which is more like a brief audio newsletter for updates and promo.
I highly recommend joining and perusing the archive. This was my way of filling in what I saw as a void in Pro Domme content. I have nothing against selling a fantasy, that is, after all, 99% of this job - but - there's so much more to this work.
My podcast bridges the gap between lifestyle and pro BDSM in an honest and straightforward way. I talk about burnout, the downfalls of sex work, misconceptions, navigating boundaries, negative experiences, gripes and lots of revelations. You get to learn alongside me and see the real human being underneath the branding.
Iโm very proud of this project and genuinely made it as if I was talking to my former self. I couldnโt find this kind of content or perspective anywhere so I made it. I was apprehensive at first about letting people peek behind the curtain but now Iโm really glad I did and the archive lives in perpetuity here.
Clips
Have you noticed that you havenโt seen my partner in my clips in a while? Some of you may recognize him as the guy with massive balls in my clips ๐ Well thatโs because Iโve been busy filming and editing my sessions. Poor guy needs to be tortured on film again! Now - Iโll have lots more time to do that. Check out my more vanilla solo and partnered content (along with the kinky clips) here on OnlyFans. For the straight up kinksters, my Clips4Sale store has an archive of over 200 videos in lots of fun FemDom genres like ballbusting, fart fetish, smothering, bondage, butt drops, wedgies, foot worship and lots more.
Dominatrix Lessons
This one is the most exciting of them all! Finally - FINALLY! I get to nerd the fuck out. Up until now, I have kept my marketing strategies to myself and itโs been hard because I feel like this is my true specialty. Iโve always been honest about my interests, Iโve never had a deep passion for the technicalities of the kinks themselves.
I love the psychology of the kinks and I REALLY LOVE the psychology of SELLING them! Itโs like a game within a game and Iโve gotten pretty good at it over the last decade. Iโm excited to share the details of what I know.
Thatโs it! Keep your eyes peeled for all this upcoming content, you can always visit my links page here for a full list of everywhere I exist on the internet. Until next time, stay kinky!
