Goodbye Wiggle Room, hello WAY more free time for Bastienne 👋

I’m saying goodbye to The Wiggle Room and I’m 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, I’m playing it by ear. 

Besides continuing to host from Studio Ludus, I’m also looking into fun, non-traditional locations to rent. This might mean, I’ll be closer to you, depending on where you’re located. Perhaps I’ll post a schedule in advance such as September in Hamilton, October in Barrie and November in, who knows! Oshawa? I’m just kidding, I’m never hosting in Oshawa. 

So, besides me slamming Oshawa for no reason, I’m really excited! It’s sad to say goodbye to my cute-ass, private studio space but it’s 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 👩‍⚕️

With all this free time I’m 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 they’ve been there for so long? I keep forgetting that I’m only one person so I can only do like 3-5 full time jobs at a time. 

I’m 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 I’m 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. Let’s take a peek 👀

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. There’s now 3.5 hours of roleplay to listen to and we’ve 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, I’m starting a ballbusting Patreon called Bastienne’s Ballbusting Academy. Similar to The Wedgie Board, I’ll 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 isn’t - this will be! So that’s fun.

Etsy

My poor Etsy shop must have abandonment issues by now! I haven’t 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 I’ve sewn since I was 12! There’s 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 “I’m a real Domme, I see real people in real life” type bitch and now, I’m eating my words. Chatting online is 100% fantasy. There’s SO much more to talk about and explore because it’s safe and there’s a lot less hand holding.

For example, if I’m messaging a ballbusting sub and I say “I’m 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!” I don’t (usually lol) have to caveat that with a lengthy disclaimer about safety and consent and going slow, because it’s 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 don’t really care for more vanilla content and I don’t 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. 

I’m very proud of this project and genuinely made it as if I was talking to my former self. I couldn’t 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 I’m really glad I did and the archive lives in perpetuity here.

Clips

Have you noticed that you haven’t seen my partner in my clips in a while? Some of you may recognize him as the guy with massive balls in my clips 😎 Well that’s because I’ve been busy filming and editing my sessions. Poor guy needs to be tortured on film again! Now - I’ll 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 it’s been hard because I feel like this is my true specialty. I’ve always been honest about my interests, I’ve 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! It’s like a game within a game and I’ve gotten pretty good at it over the last decade. I’m excited to share the details of what I know.

That’s 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!
