This is a lovely video review from a lovely Lady and her slave.

Over the weekend, I was contacted by a friend and customer of mine. She recently requested something special that I hadn't made for anyone else yet, something which she wanted to be the first to own. She had very specific requirements. It had to be a matched pair, be pink and "Sting like a muthafucka" :)

I pride myself in being versatile and recycling where I can. If I can't recycle, I will repurpose innocent vanilla materials into something devious and twisted. As this set of toys were intended for Miss Deviant they had to be extra devious and deviant to meet her last requirement. I guess I succeeded judging by her review.

I'll let her take over from here :)

I'll update this post with a link to the product when it becomes available on the website shop :)

I'd like to really thank Miss Deviant and No1Slave her loyal and dedicated disciple for all the nice things they had to say about the reminder :)

Save £33!! Add all these lovely toys to your own or your Dom/Domme's collection for just £80 + £5 p&p

Christmas is the perfect time to give ourselves a well deserved treat or with only a few weeks left it's time to start dropping hints about all those goodies that we would love to find in our stockings on Christmas morn.

And what gift could be better than this gorgeous handmade French whipped collection which consists of not one but two perfectly balanced and easy to clean Floggers, one thuddy and one stingy; Two practically indestructible Delrin Canes, one 8mm and one 6mm;  A 'this will push the most hardened masochist's limits!' Bee Stinger and last but by no means least the legendary Flame Thrower Dragon Tail which was recently reviewed in Skin Two magazine by the beautiful Miss Deviant and her wonderful No1slave

Collections are available in a choice of six colours of PVC cord:  Purple, Turquoise, Pink, Green, Red and Orange.  Canes are available in either black or white Delrin.

Payment can be made by credit or debit card, PayPal, Google checkout invoice or the universally accepted method.... cash :)

We will have a selection of colours at each event and any pre orders will take about a week to make with delivery for Christmas guaranteed.

If you would like to order the collection for yourself or would like to treat someone special with this gift, you can either call us on 07798 626565 or email sales@floggermeister.com.  We will also be taking orders at upcoming events in the run up to Christmas.  If you don't want to pay postage, just give us a call or email to place your order and we can arrange to have your order ready for collection at any of these events:

Time for a quick September roundup.

This month has been a good one, 3 successful events already under our belt, we would love to thank the teams at Skin Two North, London Alternative Market, and the London Fetish Fair for their hospitality and a warm welcome. All three very different events, and all worth a visit.

So, where from here, well we are back on home turf again on 22nd September, with Jules and the team as Heresy'n'Heelz rolls back into Sound Control just of Oxford Road in Manchester.

September starts with another Saturday event, the special once a year London Alternative Market held as part of London Fetish Weekend.

And you can add Derby the week after with another Heresy'n'Heelz and another new location for their growing circuit of fairs and performances.

And we also have a special announcement, as mentioned last time, we are able take cards using the wonderful services of iZettle, well now we can add VISA support too alongside MasterCard/AMEX and Diners Club, thanks to the amazing guys at Mpowa. These two companies have been a boon to the small fair trader, making easier and doing away with the need for expensive terminal rental. These cost the customer nothing extra on top of my normal list prices as I don't pass on the transactions fees.

For those attending the LFW London Alternative Market, we have a special give away we have planned, so make sure you pop by the stall to be sure not to miss out.

See you all out and about, and remember, we are @floggermeister on twitter, and also we have a Facebook page too :)

We can now take certain credit cards at fairs :)

Thanks to the wonderful people at iZettle we can now accept Mastercard, Diners Club, and American Express. Using a smart device, and a chip card reader, we are able to take secure authorised payment in an approved manner in minutes. So don't let a lack of cash stop you buying the toy of your dreams :)

If you see us at an event such as London Alternative Market, London Fetish Fair, any of the Heresy'n'Heelz events, oCardiff, or the London Fetish Weekend, come and ask us about paying by card.

We don't charge a surcharge for this and can take for any item greater than £1GBP.

Skin Two North 2012 is nearly here :)

Polish your latex, shine up your rubber, and cinch down those tight leather garments. Skin Two North is coming up this Saturday.

This is the North of England's premier one day event, with day time shopping and evening of entertainment and debauched dungeon time :)

So, to old friends and new, bring toys, bring your shopping lists, and bring a healthy kink attitude and enjoy what has to be the best value on the planet :)

And for the first time ever Floggermeister will be able to accept Mastercard, American Express, & Diners Club thanks to those amazing guys at iZettle, the next generation funky credit card merchant service.

July a retrospective.

What a month for July, a great months trading with new events and locations.

Firstly, Heresy'n'Heelz brought their roadshow to Birmingham, using both floors of the Birmingham Ballroom, upstairs catering for the Burlesque, vintage and alternative crowd, and Fetish and BDSM venders taking space downstairs. Performers worked both stages at regular intervals giving customers and traders alike a great show.

Attendance for a first time event was impressive seeing a good blend of people attending both floors happily mixing, shopping, and enjoying the shows.We at Floggermeister are really looking forward to coming back and showing off all our new creations.

The second big thank you, and a fantastic review must go to out to the great people at Crimson Crowbar Studios.

This is not a fetish club, it is a photo studio with regular Kink Asylum parties which are attended by invited guests only. If you get an opportunity for an invite, accept it and attend. You will love it. We were lucky enough to be among the select few traders who have been asked to join them.

As a studio for hire, or a party venue, this place is amazing, with loads of space, a "loud room" where you can scream as much as you want, a general play area with equipment provided by Exodus UK, a medical area, and a suspension frame of industrial dimensions with 4 powered winches, it cannot fail to be popular. And there is so much room you don't need to worry about getting into anyone else's way. Lockers and showers, plus tea and coffee facilities for clients are also provided and make a nice touch as is the small comfortable lounge area.

The industrial nature of the building gives a great atmosphere, something a little different to the usually over polished over mirrored nature that some clubs give when used for Fetish/BDSM events and also makes for a great location for photo shoots when used for the "day job" as a fetish and kink film and photo studio.

We were lucky enough to be invited back in November for Kink Asylum so we will see you guys then :)

How do you feel about mobile payments?

Have you installed Barclays Pingit, do you have the PayPal mobile app to make payments on the go? Or you a traditional ATM and cash, or credit card only customer?


If you attended a small market or fair type event and the trader didn't accept card payment but could take cash, or an electronic method like Pingit or PayPal, would you walk to the nearest ATM (and maybe pay a fee), use the electronic method, or just walk away and not make the purchase?


A lot of people know about PayPal for online payment, so if you ask, you never know, a trader might accept it.


And Pingit isn't just for Barclays customers. If you have a UK bank account, and a suitable phone/tablet with the right Barclays software, you can send and receive money very quickly, after going through the required setup process to confirm your phone, your address, and your bank account.


If you have any opinions on mobile payment systems, let me know. Either through this blog's comment system, a reply to the tweet, or a comment on the Floggermeister Facebook page.


I really do want to hear what you have to say.


Thanks


Carl the Floggermeister

Payment made easy.

Up until now, we have been a mainly cash service when trading at Fetish Fairs and other similar events. Although we have had a few enquiries about taking card payments there hasn't been enough demand to consider taking on a merchant account along with the associated terminal rental costs.

However, as we accept PayPal through our online store, we have been able to accept PayPal from users with Tablet/Smartphones with the associated apps or access to the PayPal mobile site.

This week however, we have taken another step into the future and now accept Barclays Pingit the revolutionary new service from the high street bank. You don't even need a Barclays account to use Pingit, you can register with your own existing bank account and a mobile number with apps available for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.

So, now, if you are prepared ready in advance, you can buy with PayPal and Pingit with us at events, and PayPal and Google Checkout on the website.

Another busy day in the loft.

Been busy again, a lovely friend of mine got back to me yesterday, she had been considering a flogger of mine and decided which she wanted.


I knew she was heading over to Kage Club in Bury this weekend, so I quickly built just the thing, a scaled down version of the 22" fall Beast, reduced to 24 falls rather than the normal 40, with a smaller thinner dowel core to make the handle slimmer still to suit her. She loved the standard basket weave handle, so that stayed. Tomorrow I head to the Post Office and hopefully she will have it in her hand by Friday.


I was then on a roll, itching to make something I hadn't done for while, I decided it was restraints time.
This time though with a difference, a 3.5" rubber posture collar made with 3mm thick insertion sheet rubber. Not as stiff as a neck corset, but a definite restriction to movement.


Then to follow, as I was still in a funky creative tip, a few sets of wrist and ankle cuffs in the matching rubber.


Been a while since I made some of those cuffs, and it felt good.


Photos of the collar, and cuffs will follow in a new post.
