Switch Andrea Pearl is a tall, lissome beauty attracted to the intoxicating dynamic of power exchange. In this Featured Artist interview, we probe her fertile mind to learn more about her poly lifestyle and what makes it so satisfying for her to fulfill your fantasies.

How did you start exploring your submissiveness in D/s play?

I had explored kink in private since childhood; I was tying myself up (or trying to get my friends to) and getting in playful ‘slap fights’ since before I can even remember. It wasn’t until I moved to New York and went to my first kink party that I explored genuine submission though. That’s a whole story in itself, but I’ll just say that I had a blast, and my butt was very red when I left!

How did you start exploring your submissiveness in D/s play?

I was a very curious and adventurous child – which is probably why I ended up kinky and bisexual! I began exploring young when I suggested to a boyfriend that he be more rough with me, and it quickly escalated from there. I realized that this kind of play was something that I was skilled at and more importantly, needed. Since then, I’ve tried everything from a little spanking to get the juices flowing to being in a 24/7 D/s relationship. Over the last five years, I’ve eagerly and deliciously begun to explore kink in a professional context.

How did you start exploring your submissiveness in D/s play?

I have always been attracted to authority figures and loved exploring power dynamics during sex, so it was fitting that my first explorations in submissive play were with a professor during my freshman year of college! From there, I took the initiative and explored whenever and whatever I could within personal relationships and play dates with like-minded kinky partners of both genders.

Hi Josephine! It’s really lovely to have such a sweet, enthusiastic and passionate new Artist at AOS! We’d love to get to know you more…let’s pick your mind! In your profile, you describe yourself as a visual artist. Tell us what kinds of art you enjoy…

I need art to be tactile…items I want to reach out and touch, caress, feel their emotion and energy – even though – oops, that’s not allowed! Soft, floaty, feminine objects…or even something that stings. I appreciate an obvious display of craft or skill, however recently, I’m learning to appreciate the more performative and subtle forms of art-making.

In this Featured Artist Interview, we present Las Vegas native Submissive Bobbi Bunny. This exotic rebel is a devotee of all things bondage, and is excited to bring her know-how to NYC March 14 and 15, 2014!

Hey Bobbi! First things first: How would you like to introduce yourself to our readers here in NYC?

I’d like to introduce myself to the NYC readers as being blatantly me. There’s a flirtatious mischievousness about me that is thoroughly provoking. I’m quick-witted and canny, confident and sagacious. I am the complete package for a stimulating and unreserved engagement.
