Join us this Saturday to welcome Persephone from the depths of Hades, and to celebrate to end of another long Chicago winter.
Saturday, March 20 at 7:00pm
This will be a casual play party, with lots of mingling and plenty of opportunities to play with a group of beautiful and creative Dommes. The ratio of Dommes to subs is usually about 1:1, and we simply love to have a good time exploring our mutual fetishes and kinks. All experience levels are welcome.
Refreshments and light snacks are served, and it’s BYOB (NO RED WINE PLEASE!)
Requested donation is $50 at the door or in advance (Femme Dommes get in free with a paying sub).
Those who’ve been here before are welcome back with open arms (unless you offended somebody). For those who’ve never played with any of us, you can gain access to the party by becoming a member of RoomService2000.com, or by providing a verifiable reference from a Domme we know.
You must RSVP to be allowed entry. Non one gets in without being on the guest list. To RSVP please contact Mistress Zaynab by March 19 at Mistress@MistressZaynab.com.

Please join us to celebrate Mistress Alice’s Birthday with a fun and casual and playful PLAY PARTY! If you know Alice, you know this will be quite a romp!
All experience levels are welcome. You need to have met one of the Holy Mountian Priestesses in person, or have a reference from a Pro Domme to attend. You can arrange for an interview with the Priestess of your choice in advance if you are new to this! We’re happy to accommodate newbies!
Clothing is nice casual (i.e. not sloppy), cross-dressing, or nothing at all. Snacks and refreshments are provided. Feel free to BYOB (no red wine, please).
Presents for the Birthday Girl are always appreciated but never required.
You may be a voyeur or participate with any of the 14 Dommes expected to attend. The ratio is usually 1/1 male/female sub/Domme. Please feel free to use the equipment and EXPLORE. Be yourself, and be respectful to other party-goers. You can bring your own toys too.
Femme Dommes enter free with a paying sub/bottom/slave.
Requested Donation: $50.

CARNIVAL OF CURIOSITY
Works by the Priestesses of the Holy Mountain
Opening Reception (FREE)
Friday, March 5, 2010
6pm – 9pm
Holy Mountain
Chicago, IL 60607
TO RSVP CONTACT:
Zaynab
Zaynab@HolyMountainChicago.com
Featured Artists: Mistress Kit, Mistress Yani, Miss Panic, Mistress Vashti, Lil’ Princess, Mistress Alice, aynia, Mistress Deliya, Mistress Lucinda, Lily Hex, Kristie Alshaibi & Usama Alshaibi, with performance by Cabaret of the Nameless
Holy Mountain is a woman owned and run studio for BDSM (bondage discipline/ dominance submission/ sadomasochism) located in the West Loop. For the first time since its inception in September 2008, it is opening its doors to the public for a premiere art exhibition. This debut event will feature the work of the many women who rent the space for Pro Domination.
Carnival of Curiosity is intended to bring a new audience into an environment they might not otherwise explore, and to showcase the talents of a collective of Pro Dominas who already contribute to Chicago’s artistic zeitgeist in their own ways. The overall tone is bold, celebratory and unabashed with a few very challenging works in the mix.
On the walls you’ll see the photography of Mistress Kit (right), the “official” photographer of Holy Mountain who attends events and forms artist/muse relationships with the lovely ladies who frequent the space. Her work is reminiscent of 1970s candids, printed in black and white with an air of voyeuristic titillation.
Also featured are paintings by Mistress Yani (above left). Her busy mural-like works on paper look like they are taunting the viewer with bright neon colors and graffiti splashes of metallic paint. Bouncing naked clown-face characters emerge from jazzy chaos.
Continuing the playful mood Miss Panic’s paintings on wood and canvas burst with electric blues and hot pinks. Human (or human-like) faces greet the viewer with poppy confidence.
Quietest among the works on paper, but also the most detailed, are Mistress Vashti’s large drawings. “No Moonlight” (pictured left) has an eerie glow and “3 Moons” is lush and tactile.
In the 3D realm, Lil’ Princess (featured on Jerry Springer for her clown sex fetish) charms us with sparkling sequins, googly-eyes, and ruffles, toying with the idea of “fetish” in the original sense of the word. Her eight dolls are reminiscent of the works of Haitian artists such as Peirrot Barra. Their plastic heads sit atop elaborate dresses – little goddess-like figures adorned with pills, tiny babies, logos, flowers and cigarettes. 
Much of the art in Carnival of Curiosity is wearable. Mistress Alice takes mad millinery to new levels, and aynia expresses her inner demons through hand-crafted masks. Mistress Deliya carefully crochets bondage items such as arm binders, hoods, and (ahem)“package” cozies. And though not wearable, Mistress Alice’s drawings based upon outlandish costume designs (left) certainly command attention. 
Some of the artwork will be utterly edible. A giant delectable human birthday cake will fill one corner of the main playroom as the performers of Cabaret of the Nameless (pictured below right) splosh themselves into a giant heap of sexy sugar sweetness. Other pastries and vegan baked goods will be available to sample and purchase as well.
The carnivorous side of carnival is covered by Mistress Lucinda’s Meat Market series – an aesthetically intriguing group of photographs taken on the streets of Safi in Morocco. She also takes a stab at the carnal with her porno collage series and the challenging humor of her Baby Book, which combines images of infant innocence with fully erect man meat.
For those with a love for the literary, Lily Hex (a.k.a. Evil Tart) will release her new book, a hardback edition of poetry and short stories about lovers. Holy Mountain founder Kristie Alshaibi will also have some of her own art available for sale, including a collaborative book made with her husband Usama. A History of Flying Vaginas is a stencilprinted limited edition written in the form of a children’s book.
And finally Holy Mountain will be celebrating the Pre-Release of its first DVD compilation, Solar Anus Cinema, short films by Usama Alshaibi. Alshaibi has been called the “contemporary master of transgressive cinema” and some of the films on the DVD feature the Priestesses of Holy Mountain. Copies will be available for purchase at the opening reception.

All of the Priestesses of Holy Mountain are now using Room Service 2000. This means that, if you’re a new player with no previous references, we will HAPPILY accept verification from RS2K and get you into a session as soon as you’d like! No public interview required, and not even a deposit (for sessions under 3 hours). Even if you are experienced, a Room Service verification makes for a quick easy way to make an appointment! The process is discreet and the Priestess does not have to track down the Dommes you’ve met and ask questions, or know any of your private information. It just makes the process go faster. Your membership with RS2K is nation wide and good for a lifetime.
Please click below to sign up, and then contact the Priestess of your choice with your verification info.
Also, I’d like to welcome Our newly Initiated Priestesses: Mistress Kit, sub aynia, Lady Lavina, Mistress Amelia and Mistress Vashti. I will be posting their pics, web sites and extension numbers in the coming two weeks. All are available for Double sessions with the more established Dommes.
Hope the first month of the new decade is treating you well!

I know, I know, I don’t update this page often enough. Just getting around to looking at the pics of our Solstice Party!
Pictured here (from far left, clockwise): Zaynab (Me), Alice, Deliya, Kit, Lucinda, Azusza, Yani, Lily, Anonda, Miss Panic, and Marcelle
And in the middle of it all – George the X-Mas Tree!
This weekend we are training several brand new Priestesses at another Pro Domme Intensive! There’s still time to volunteer as a practice bottom! Also, I would like to welcome Our brand new business partner, lambchop! New resources mean we’ll be adding new furniture, tools and toys to our space and making improvements. We’re even adding suspension to our toolbox! And lambchop and I are working on a complete revamp of this web site, coming soon (the reason I’m hoarding pics to show you at a later date)!
And finally we are preparing for our very first Art Opening in March, completely open to the public! GASP! Wait ’til you see the talents of the Ladies around here! You will be impressed!
Hope you are keeping those bottoms warm!

Join us for a casual PLAY PARTY at Holy Mountain BDSM Studio.
Saturday, December 19, 2009 @ 7pm
Come in from the cold and get you bottom warmed up by all the usual Priestesses, plus a few new additions (there are 13 of us now! How lucky!)! Come out for our new Preistesses’ coming out celebration! And meet Our new subbie girl, too!
We’re also celebrating Maitresse Marcelle’s Birthday! So don’t forget to bring a little something nice.
It’s BYOB, with snacks provided. NO RED WINE PLEASE!
Dress is nice casual and… um… optional… The Ladies typically dress up.
All experience levels are always welcome! We love to play with newbies and seasoned bottoms! (Mmmmm… Seasoned bottoms…)
Our parties are fairly intimate, as usually We have equal numbers of submissive guests and Dommes. Come and enjoy a kinky good time in a laid-back and friendly atmosphere. Honestly, We like everybody and all kinks and We want to make you feel welcome (unless intimidation is your thing… and then we’ll make you feel welcome by humiliating and scaring you in all the best ways). Feel free to ask Us questions, or ask to try out the equipment and tools. Explore!
We’re ready to have fun! That’s why it’s called a play party!
And perhaps We’ll take the party to another nearby dungeon and go until the wee hours! (Contact Zaynab if you’re interested in the after party).
$50 donation accepted on-line or at the door (Femme Dommes are free with a paying sub).
*a reference from someone We know is required if We’ve never met you.
RSVP by Friday: zaynab@holymountainchicago.com
Or sign up on Our Kinky Arts meet-up page.
