When I decided to move to LA in 1996, it wasn’t because I was ready to dive into the LA BDSM scene. I was married to my college boyfriend who was a musician, signed to a major label and they wanted him in LA so I came here with him. I never really gave it…

I learned a valuable lesson regarding my talents and my images while I was in NYC. I was a product and I had to start thinking like it. While working at the Nutcracker for 3+ years, I agreed to and did many photo shoots for them as a marketing tool. I actually never turned them…

Rarely will you see pictures of me on my back or on my knees because my personal ideologies which formed very early in my career were that those positions showed vulnerability. And when asked to pose in those positions, I felt vulnerable. The photographer (who was female btw) wanted to get an above shot on…

I’ve only shot with a handful of photographers. They were the chosen few and I can count them on both hands and this shoot is one of the reasons why. When I started advertising, I got solicited by dozens of photographers. Everyone wanted to shoot me. But mostly men. Although this image is one of…

Being a dominatrix has never been about being evil or harsh. Brutal or scary. Although I’ve been described by those many times. If I have been those things, it was by invitation. Energy transference is a real thing. Whatever darkness I gave, it has always been followed by light. Harshness is always followed by softness.…

They had strength and undeniable bad ass attitudes so it will was easy to associate that with the cultivation of my naturally dominant personality. I felt like…

I worked at The Nutcracker Suite in NYC when I first started. I spent 3 years there and didn’t keep in touch with a single Domme that I worked with. It was a different time back then. There wasn’t the comradery there is now amongst professionally dominant women. There was too much jealous. And I…
