Both Auburn and Devious have very vanilla professional careers that must co-exist with their 24/7 Mistress/slave relationship, so they've learned how to establish and maintain important, relationship-affirming protocols and rituals in vanilla settings as part of their M/s. In this interactive workshop they'll talk about how to identify and design key protocols that are meaningful to you that can be performed virtually anywhere, without raising a vanilla eyebrow. We'll also discuss how to adapt existing rituals for unique situations and how to balance the desire to be true to one's M/s lifestyle and honor a collared relationship, yet still be politely respectful of potential vanilla sensitivities of friends and family. Attendees will be encouraged to share their own challenges and solutions for various vanilla environments, including creative terminology and key phrases that can be used anywhere, anytime.
