I agree that there are those that would benefit from taking a few classes on etiquette.  I too grew up in the old school  where children were to be seen and not heard and a grandmother who insisted that I learn proper manners, how to set a table, speak, clean, cook,  serve a meal, decorate, dress, walk, curtsey, be a proper hostess, make a  variety of drinks, how to sew,  write a  letter etc...  I am  very thankful that  she took the time to teach me.  I am also thankful that I had a father who wished that I were a  boy and spent an equal amout of time teaching me to fish, hunt,  basic home repair, auto maintainence, shooting, self  defense and all that  good  stuff.  I think it is good to be well rounded, I am not sure that there is a  "market" per say for this but nothing  ventured nothing  gained, you won't know till you try; good  luck!!

There are plenty of accredited post-secondary school that offer these types of things.

quote:

ORIGINAL: Poetica



* Table dining
-placement of silverware, glasses, plates
- serving etiquette
- PROPER dinner conversation

Learned this in high school Home Ec.  Although it's not necessarily part of today's curriculum, there are several hospitality courses offered.

quote:

* Basic drink knowledge (I feel it is wise to have a sub or slave know how to pour their Owner a drink after a long day should they request it.)
- different glasses
- drink types
- substitutes for alcoholic drinks

Bartending school

quote:


* How to run a bath
- Ladies, need I say more?
- How to bathe someone else (this is a very submissive skill, and one that is incredibly intense for both parties)


PSW (Personal Support Worker or any of its varients) course, as well as a lot of registered practical nursing courses cover this.  I've never found it an intense experience.

quote:


* Writing letters
- proper address for certain people
- use of titles
- how to end a letter
- different types of letters

Courses offered in administrative duties will cover this.






Were I to consider taking a course on any of these, I'd want to know that they were being offered from somewhere legit (accredited), and not just an invented 'Joe Shmoe School of Subbie Ettiquette'.  Transferable skills are worth my time and money.  Beyond that, it's personal preference and, on that, I'll defer to Loraith and how He likes me to do things.

In 2001 I attended boy's Training Camp II in Dallas, Texas. Many of the services you describe were taught to some extent in addition to bootblacking and personal valet service. I enjoyed the classes immensely and I assure you the boys, bois, slaves, bottoms, and submissives in attendence were not there to get their fetish jolly rocks off. We were there to improve ourselves. And yes, there is a counterpart for Dominants called Master's Retreat. Information can be found here http://web.mac.com/leathertribe/iWeb/TLT%20Events/TLT%20Home.html

I wish you well in your endeavor Poetica.

Diploma's trump GED's in most places and cases.
