1) Did you participate in any of the contests and if so, did you WIN?

Irene Boss: I did win "The Best Whipped male ass Contest" this year. I used 2 whips and a computer keyboard as my "impliments".

Irene Boss: Yes, One example: I got my boys up early the first day (5 am) and we did our own *bootcamp. I had them do calisthenics and laps around the track carrying large rocks. They had to drag me around in 3 different carriages, and during one sequence I chased them on a bike. It was really fun!

3) How was the auction, did you buy any of the slaves and if so, what did you do? Considering where you were, that's a scary question

Irene Boss: The auction was a blast, and the two slaves I entered sold. I did not buy slaves this year - I opted for a nap instead.
<G>
It's OK - over the years I have bought many slaves at the OWK auctions.
Slut Josie was covered in gold body paint and wore nothing but a pink feather duster on a rope around "her" neck while the soundtrack from "Goldfinger" blared in the background (ooh ahh - pussy galore!) .

She continued: Tranny iz good for absolutely nossing!
Tranny vil stand on zee ledge all day in admiration of iztelf.
If tranny collects any dust - it veel dust eetself off!
Here is zee demonstration!
[Last year I sold josie as a 'beauty experiment'. Whoever bought "her" could dye "her" hair - and the Ladies of Studio Avalon (Berlin Germany) did so and had quite a good time with "her" BTW: The slaves at OWK auctions are bought with real money and josie sold for around 50 bux and I got a percentage of that.  Of course I made josie wear a "C note" in a garter belt just to be a little a *little more attractive......snort...ha ha ha ha!]
The ladies who bought my Josie this year decided to turn "her" into a *pond statue for their amusement, and my slave Dave served as an ashtray for Claudia Varrin and Mistress Elizabeth.

Irene Boss: Meals are served in the pub, but the most memorable food event that the Ladies attend at the OWK is the Queen's Banquet. The food at the banquet was very good this year - the best it has ever been. I made sure to compliment the Queen on that.

Irene Boss: Yes, I had new rubber costumes made by Murrey and Vern, House of Harlot, and Syrin. I wore all of them! These 3 companies did a great job of getting the dresses and catsuits to me on time too.

"Self Dusting" Trophy Tranny!

6) Did any particular activity spark your interest?

Irene Boss: I always enjoy the playtime in Club Wanda after the festivities are over every evening. Everyone gets a chance to relax, let their hair down, dance and socialize. I had some great D/s moments there playing with people I only get to see once a year. The "Best Slave Contest" was a riot. I had 2 of my slaves dressed up as macho American stripper dudes (red, white and blue leather jackets, gold chains, sequined shorts and combat boots) and Josie had on a girls stripper costume, with one of those large *dog cones around "her" neck. (I laughed so hard I cried.)

7) was your hair washed by hand?

Irene Boss: No, but I did receive great massages from my slaves!

Irene Boss: Yes, it is possible to rent a spa on the first floor of the Queen's Palace. There are aromatherapy massage oils, a huge deep tup, and even a professional massuese available. This would be ideal if a Lady were to go there on a vacation outside of the Celebrations. There really is not the proper amount of time to enjoy this during the Celebrations - there is too much going on.

Irene Boss: For the most part yes. There were a few bumps in the road though (arent there always? <G>)

Boss and Josie               The Boss's macho boys

For example: Slave Dave was a little "macho rude" one day, so I chained him up outside to a large granite rock for 1 hour wearing my bra for those interesting "punishment tan lines". I sent Josie out with a tablespoon of water to *quench his thirst a half hour into it, and then he said "Tell Irene thanks for the swallow", so then I went out and threw a big glass of cold water at him and made him stay there an extra hour.
<evil grin>
Josie was caught going through my purse at an airport on the way home, "looking for perfume", so I sprayed "her" with the whole bottle and repeatedly asked "Have you had enough yet"?
Of course - no one wanted to sit next to my *stinky trophy tranny on the plane, so I was quite satisfied with the results of that humiliating punishment.

Irene Boss: 

I usually want to have a pony boy for the race for the Queen's Cup (Best Riding Mistress) but that isnt always possible. Sometimes I will choose a slave on other merits. Sometimes I will choose a slave to torment. I only sell and buy slaves for a 3 hour maximum time period, so even if it is not a good match all is not lost.
The OWK Celebrations are about ritual, ceremony, networking, and having fun.
The contests were created so people will get involved and interact with one another. Most slaves being sold on the auction block desire to be interacated with by Mistresses during the contests.

I donated a good sum of money to a charitable cause this year through the OWK, who conducted a charity "slave punishment" with the proceeds going to battered women's shelters in Prague.

11) Was the use of the keyboard planned or spontaneous?

Irene Boss: I planned to use the keyboard to get laughs, and to make a statement (performance art). I wanted to have fun so I did the contest anyway. A person who loves spectacle as much as myself wants to put on a show! Going to OWK is a big deal - it isnt exactly close by and I like to experience as much as possible while there. I was pleasantly surprised to have won. I must have had some pretty high marks from the others.

12) I'm most happy You won the Whipping Title, did You get a trophy or a plaque or is just the satisfaction of winning?

Irene Boss: A small 3-D plaque, a cool hard wood paddle, a bottle of Champagne, and a nice round of applause from the audience.

13) Did you have time to shop, and did anything new really excite you or stimulate your senses?

Irene Boss: Yes, I do love to shop. Shoes, shoes, and more shoes! Also, supple tight kid leather black gloves (opera length) and metal bondage gear for my slaves. The OWK has some original medevil styles that are unavailable elsewhere.
