I’m absolutely thrilled to (finally!) announce the grand opening of Wicked Eden, and I’d like to personally invite each and every one of you to come celebrate with me! This event is going to be unlike any other – with over 35 celebrity Dommes (and counting) in attendance and attendees flying in from all over the world, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable experience.

As you know, the new Wicked Eden has my passion project – a space where alternative lifestyle communities can come together to explore their desires in a safe and inclusive environment. The road to this grand opening has been long and arduous, but it’s all been worth it. With a million dollars invested into the space, we’ve transformed it into a luxurious 6,000 square foot oasis that I can’t wait for you to see. We are currently in the home stretch for construction and will hopefully be moving into our new space at the end of April.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” overlay=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1680410155692{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;background-color: #5e5e5e !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1680410201309{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text]

Exciting Changes with Wicked Eden & The Autonomy Project https://alexandrasnow.com/excitingchanges/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=excitingchanges Wed, 01 Mar 2023 02:02:00 +0000 https://alexandrasnow.com/?p=8876 [vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”New & Exciting Updates!” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Dear beloved pets and fans.

I wanted to take a moment to share some updates with you all about what’s been going on behind the scenes at Wicked Eden. As many of you know, I’ve been incredibly busy lately with a variety of new projects and exciting changes happening, from the massive construction project at the new building to my focus on building my fanclubs to even greater heights. I recently reopened my OnlyFans (YouWillWorship.Me) to allow those who prefer that site to keep in touch, and I have had record numbers on my primary fanclub on LoyalFans (Loyal2Her.com)

First and foremost, with the popularity of my documentary and the mad scramble before I raise my rates in the coming months, I am fully booked for in-person sessions through May 1st. You can keep an eye on my schedule for the rare cancellation or reschedule, otherwise you’ll have to wait to visit me in the new building in May when my books reopen.

If you’re reading this with sorrow, don’t despair! I’m still active on my fanclubs daily and I am still creating hot content and dishing out interactive assignments to keep you busy.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][ucaddon_simple_cta_line banner_title=”Stay Connected with Me” banner_text=”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” button_text=”JOIN NOW” button_link=”http://www.loyal2her.com” background_color=”#0e88aa” uc_fonts_data=”JTdCJTdE”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”8892″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”8898″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Speaking of transition, I am thrilled to announce that Wicked Eden is now being operated by the Autonomy Project, my new non-profit organization that is dedicated to promoting sex worker rights and providing resources for folks in the LGBTQIA+ and kink communities. This change is something that I am incredibly excited about, and I can’t wait to see how it develops in the coming years.

Founding the Autonomy Project has been an enormous undertaking, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve accomplished. From the documentary to the collective to my retreats for sex workers, I’ve learned much about creating meaningful change in our community. With the Autonomy Project as our guiding force, we will take our work to new heights and create a stronger community that bridges the gaps between the kink, queer, and sex-positive worlds.

With the launch of the Autonomy Project, my work has taken on a new direction, one that is focused on empowering creators and communities. I nearly cried upon receiving our 501(c)3 notice from the IRS last week, but the universe is giving me all the signs that this is the right direction to move in. It may be a great deal of work, but this work is a true labor of love. Don’t worry, I’ll still be doing sessions and making content, but I’ll be focusing on the non-profit as my heart mission.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][fwp_borano_title title=”Changes in Membership at Wicked Eden” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

What does this mean for you?

If you were a member of Wicked Eden in the past, as of May 1st, your membership will become obsolete. Yes, I know, but it’s a necessary change as we switch to this non-profit model. In order to book appointments with me, you will need to purchase a membership to the Autonomy Project.

Memberships come in several varieties: three tiers of yearly membership, and a temporary membership. The yearly memberships also grand you the ability to purchase event tickets, attend classes, participate in the online community, and visit me as many times as you like. The temporary membership is only good for 48 hours and is good for one event or session.

We are now in the final stages of construction, but there’s still several long months of headache before we’ll be open. If any of you have ever remodeled a house, imagine that process but times x100! This project is costing me a small fortune and we are desperately reaching the stage where donations will be the only thing that get across the finish line. With our new 501(c)3 status, your donations are now tax deductible!

Donors who contribute $500 or more will receive a sneak peak invite to our soft open VIP party, as well as the option to be included on our Hall of Fame wall for all time. You can donate using one of the links below!

[/vc_column_text][ucaddon_uc_slide_down_button text=”Donate Here” link=”http://www.autonomyproject.org/donate” text_hover_color=”#00faff” uc_fonts_data=”JTdCJTdE”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”Donations, Wishlists, & Tributes” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

We welcome items purchased from our Amazon Wishlist as well as monetary donations directly to the space here.

If altruism isn’t your kink, then know that I’ll certainly have more time to be present with your fantasies once this phase is complete. So the more you help me, the faster I can get back to giving you life-changing experiences and making more jaw-dropping femdom content. Or I’ll just lock you all up in chastity and hold your keys for ransom.. whatever gets the job done.

You can also send tributes directly to me to help cover the time and income lost from managing this project, which will most certainly make me a very happy Goddess. Nothing turns me on quite like selflessness from my pets.

You can also donate in the name of your favorite Domme or creator and see them enshrined here as well.

You can donate using any of the links above, then send me an email to alex@alexandrasnow.com to let me know which name you donated with, how you’d like your name formatted, and provide the photos for printing.

Spring Update : Wicked Collective, Twitch, and More https://alexandrasnow.com/spring-update-wicked-collective-twitch-and-more/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=spring-update-wicked-collective-twitch-and-more Fri, 25 Mar 2022 00:04:32 +0000 https://alexandrasnow.com/?p=8532 WHATS NEW IN MY WORLD?

In today’s news we have: an update on my life, info on sessions and upcoming travel, my latest videos, reopening of my custom video commissions, and how you can now watch me live on Twitch!

It’s been a rollercoaster this last year, as it has been for many of us.  I’ve always been a balls-to-the-wall, do it all superheroine and have been building an empire like I was invincible. However, for the first time in my life, I took on one responsibility too much. Last fall, I began to have unusual health issues that stumped my docs, until a specialist discovered that it was the epic volume of stress that I was shouldering. This prompted me to take a step back and make some changes to my workload, take a couple months off to let my body have a reset, and put my health first. 

The first of which was restructuring the Wicked Collective; taking a break from mentoring and training other Dommes and managing a large dungeon staff. While I have great memories and fondness for the Collective, it was unsustainable with the pandemic and changes to the adult industry. I have always felt very responsible for the success and livelihoods of these ladies, often to detriment of my own work and personal life. I feel positive about the good I’ve done for others, but now it’s time to focus on myself again.

I will still be doing sessions with the lovely Tabitha Jane, who will also still be using Wicked Eden. I highly recommend visiting her.

I’m happy to report that the break and changes I’ve made have resulted in a much happier, healthier Goddess and I’m feeling myself once more! It’s been great fun to resume sessions, filming customs, hosting guests, and making sizzling fanclub content.

In fact… I have some very exciting dungeon news in the works, but it’s not quite ready to be announced, so stay tuned!


NOW ON TWITCH

As part of the changes I made to my work/life balance, I’ve recently started streaming on Twitch and I made affiliate pretty quickly. Who’d a thought my fans would love to hang out and chat with me while playing video games, right? 

I never thought I’d enjoy streaming on Twitch quite so much but it’s been a refreshing change from being in Domina mode on camera and instead just chill and chat with my budding community.

I’ll be streaming on Wednesday nights with Ceara Lynch playing It Takes Two, and likely another night or two throughout the week. Follow me to be notified when I go live!

Keep in mind that Twitch is a not a platform for adult topics or conversation, so keep your fetish discussions strictly on SextPanther or OnlyFans. Got it?

Custom Video Commissions Reopen https://alexandrasnow.com/custom-video-commissions-reopen/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=custom-video-commissions-reopen Thu, 17 Mar 2022 17:59:00 +0000 https://alexandrasnow.com/?p=8524

My custom form is now open again!

After taking a few months off from customs, I’ve reopened my custom commissions again. You can now resume your regularly scheduled requests for my patented brand of fetish and femdom content with your unique ideas.

Over the last decade now that I’ve been making fetish clips, I’ve truly found a medium that allows for me to explore fantasies and scenarios in ways I never anticipated. Straddling the world of in-person domination and online domination has always presented a challenge in encapsulating a kink in bite-sized pieces where I would spend hours doing it in the studio. I now find videos to be an amazing format for visual storytelling, where I am both narrator and villain, leading my viewer on an erotic journey. 

But the real question is.. where will my stories take you today, dear viewer? What deep, dark corners of your sexuality shall we uncover together?

As of 2022, I will be offering more nudity in my customs, however, be aware that these must be in line with my already established styles and fetishes, such as humiliation, masturbation instruction, hypnosis, executrix, CBT, erotic magic, and other female domination themes. I will not do any kind of nudity that I don’t enjoy, such as insertions or spreading, etc. So don’t ask.

Customs begin at $200 and go up depending on the concept and complexity of the video. I love getting your unique and interesting requests and interpreting them in my own style. Customs allow me to dig deep into visual storytelling, where I can bring a fantasy to life with the expert use of lighting, set, audio, and more.

Chastity Raffle on my OnlyFans! https://alexandrasnow.com/chastity-raffle-on-my-onlyfans/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=chastity-raffle-on-my-onlyfans Thu, 09 Dec 2021 17:39:00 +0000 https://alexandrasnow.com/?p=8494

Closing out 2021 with a special chastity raffle event!

Just a few days until my last Livestream of the year: Dec 13th! It’s also when I will announce my Chastity Raffle.. and pets who buy tickets on Monday’s stream will get an extra entry. If you can’t make the livestream, you’ll have a week after to get your entries in!

How will this work? Two winners will receive a hand-selected, customized to your shape/size chastity device from my favorite site for toys, Oxy-Shop! (with some extras, if I’m feeling generous) It will be shipped to you, with only one key, and a special box for that key for my continued control over your member.

Entries will be $25 each, and I will send out a DM via my OnlyFans on Monday after the stream. So tune in at 7:30PM EST on Monday Dec 13! If you’d like to see a preview of what you might win, head over to: bit.ly/locked4goddess

If you’re not yet a member of my OnlyFans, you’ll want to sign up ASAP:


Oxy-Shop has quickly become my absolute favorite place for CBT and chastity devices. I’ve had the pleasure of testing out several devices, such as the Guardian, HTV4, and lots of metal devices. You can see part of my collection here, and I’ve still got several more to add.

Chastity devices have really come a long way in the last decade from the original popularity of the CB line. I’ll be doing some more video reviews on the chastity devices I recommend soon, but I sincerely recommend the Guardian as my new go-to device. It’s comfortable, easy to put on, easy to clean, and fits like a dream for a variety of shapes and sizes (see the link for how to measure!) It even comes in steel, for those of you who need the added daily reminder of who owns that cock.

The latest chaos from MasterCard and how it affects fetish porn https://alexandrasnow.com/adult-content-chaos-from-mastercard/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=adult-content-chaos-from-mastercard Tue, 26 Oct 2021 22:33:23 +0000 https://alexandrasnow.com/?p=8415 [vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator style=”double”][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”What’s going on with the clip sites?” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]You may have seen the latest news about various clip stores and the new compliance regulations from MasterCard. If not, here’s a short summary: once again, the “war on porn” from extreme religious groups has put pressure on the credit card processors to lay down more imposing draconian rules. This has resulted in many of the clip sites, such Clips4Sale, IWantClips, and more being forced to scramble to comply on Oct 15, and this meant many clips were taken down or new clips were not published until they could be reviewed. 

This meant that my IWantClips store went from over 2400 clips to 50, and last I checked, wasn’t yet back to above 200. My Clips4Sale store had no new updates for over 2 weeks, and I had to delete and re-upload all new clips and hope they passed this new compliance in time to keep my Top 50 traffic. As a top 50 clip store for over 8 years, I rely on the sales from these sites to keep the lights on and my cats fed.

Needless to say, there has been much chaos and uncertainty about how this will play out in the coming months.. just like the OnlyFans chaos just a few months before.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8431″ img_size=”550×309″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1635280756761{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8423″ img_size=”550×309″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1635280798806{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]These are just two of my more recent videos that will be “flagged” by clip site compliance AI as a result of these changes — the left because it looks like multiple people in the video, and the second because the AI confuses the middle finger or “L” for loser as a weapon.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8461″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1635288027152{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8460″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1635288034485{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”8462″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”My clip stores (such as IWC) may have a limited number of clips for some time, and new clips may be heavily delayed on sites like C4S.

This was following claims about sex trafficking on the platform from an opinion piece in The New York Times.

The supposed originating issue for these changes is something that EVERYONE in the industry wants to address: non-consensual content and underage content. This stemmed from the abuses of Pornhub and other tube sites, which previously did not require any type of verification to upload content and had been fairly controversial, meaning that anti-porn groups had something to sink their teeth into last December. (It doesn’t matter, of course, that sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat have record numbers of abuses but aren’t held to the same scrutiny as adult sites. Facebook alone had 20 million instances of child sex abuse in 2020!) 

However.. the latest changes are difficult, if not impossible, to comply with. The new changes require not only an additional ID verification and performer verification system (one that we already do when we sign up for a site, and are required by law to maintain our own records under 2257), but also MANUAL REVIEW of the content across these sites.

As the ACLU’s amazing article here states: “To take one example, a site like OnlyFans has one million content creators. If each of them uploaded one video in a given day, under Mastercard’s policy, OnlyFans would have to review each video before it’s published to determine whether it complies. Pre-publication review at that scale is almost impossible, and would likely be rife with errors considering the speed at which online platforms operate. This policy will make it much harder for platforms to host adult content, which will destabilize the websites that sex workers use to make a living. Additionally, this policy is not targeted to address Mastercard’s stated concerns. The policy applies only to a small fraction of web sites – those that host adult content – but all available evidence indicates these problems proliferate across all kinds of websites.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”Discrimination against sex workers” link=”” tag=”h4″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_top=”mt20″ separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]Banks have historically discriminated against the adult industry, from platforms to individual sex workers. Many payment processors, such as PayPal, refuse to do business with sex workers altogether, as they’re considered too “high risk” to take on as customers. This also extends to sex worker’s and their bank accounts, loans (including the PPP loan during the pandemic), payment platforms, and more.  There are no specific regulations against this, which leaves it in the hands of financial institutions to wholesale discriminate against us.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”I have personally been discriminated against by financial institutions more times than I can count.

Aside from the constant fear about having an account shut, it can also affect their ability to collect benefits, prove income when renting a home, and even pay the right taxes. Read more about why banks shun workers in the adult industry at the Guardian.

“Banks are required to file suspicious activity reports, or SARs, when they suspect something is wrong with the money coming in — wire transfers that aren’t accounted for, money moving to and from countries where it doesn’t make sense to do so, and anything that might look like money laundering.

In one of such SARs, banking major Wells Fargo had stated: “Based on the inexplicable nature of the outgoing wires, for which the original sources of funding were not known, but appeared likely to be income from the customers’ adult entertainment business, the information found regarding the customers’ business, and the illicit nature of those businesses, which are international and may be operating in areas where underage children and other vulnerable individuals might be forced to provide services, AMLI [Anti-Money Laundering Initiative] has deemed the specified outgoing wire transfer activity suspicious.” It is this mention of minors that is also common in Mastercard and Visa’s explanation banning Pornhub. There are, of course, many types of criminality and abuse that happen in and around the adult industry, but this is just not limited to this one industry. Children as young as six work in dangerous mines in order to extract the minerals that power our smartphones. As of last year, consumer goods from AppleMicrosoft, BMW, Gap, Huawei, Nike, SamsungSony, and others are being manufactured by re-education camp prisoners in China, according to an in-depth report by an Australian think tank.”[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”But sure, WE are the greatest evil…” font_container=”tag:p|font_size:28px|text_align:center|color:%2381acd1″ google_fonts=”font_family:Rancho%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1635286715814{padding-top: 32px !important;padding-bottom: 32px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”2″ el_width=”60″][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”What’s Happening Now” link=”” tag=”h4″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_top=”mt20″ separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8449″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1635285998828{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The list of banned topics and content types that we’ve been issued grows every year, and now that list has grown once more.

Vampire
Hypnosis

Pee/Golden Showers
Abductions
Blackmail
Incest Roleplay
Choking/Breathplay
4 limbs bound with penetration, even pegging
Age Play
Diapers

Videos will continue to be picked apart in compliance, and the AI systems that sites are using may falsely categorize a video as non-compliant. We will see a pretty strong sanitation of fetish videos across all the sites, which means that many of your favorite fetishes may disappear overnight.

How Mastercard’s New Policy Violates Sex Workers Rights

Tweet @Mastercard to end this policy and protect sex workers’ rights. Tell them that they must sit down with sex workers and develop solutions that create stability and reduce harm for us.

Defend us with your money, which is what these companies are most concerned about. Use other cards, such as American Express or Discover. Be aware of the institutions that discriminate most, such as Chase.

Purchase your content directly where you can. Be understanding that it’s not the sites making these rules and it’s not our choice, we are reliant on these platforms.

Send tributes to ease the massive hit we’re experiencing in revenue.

Commission custom videos, especially if your favorite clips don’t exist on these sites.

Book in-person sessions, the best way to explore fantasies without interference from religious groups.

Help engagement on social media of your favorite creators, like me and the Wicked Collective, to gain more visibility of the content we can sell.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8450″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1635289441508{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator border_width=”2″ el_width=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Just keep supporting independent sex workers and being understanding about what we can and can’t do on these sites.

Performers and creators are leaving the industry in droves from burn out and I’ve had to cut back on my own online workload as not to run the risk of burn out too.

I have no intention of leaving though, don’t worry. I love what I do and we will, as always, find ways to overcome whatever they throw at us. In the meantime, though.. book an in-person session with me in Columbus, OH and let’s roleplay you as a Mastercard Exec so I can get some frustrations out.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8178″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][vc_separator border_width=”2″ el_width=”20″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
