Thank you to my first employer as a Professional Dominatrix at her house dungeon, The Velvet Underground, in Los Angeles, Arch Mistress Catherine.

​

You were a trailblazer in so many ways! You treated your staff dommes with respect, offered us classes and a roomy lounge where we could wait and prepare for sessions. You paid us a better percentage than any other house at the time. We got half of the $200/hr that you charged your clients to enjoy your splendidly 6 well-stocked play rooms.  Each had a distinct theme: Schoolroom, Church, Queen's Den, Medical room, Classic Dungeon and Chinese Torture lending drama and ambiance to our sessions.  You even let me name the school-themed one, Room 101 (a reference to the torture chamber in 1984 that housed "the worst thing in the world") and painted it on the glass door!

To be continued...
