Russian intelligence meets the Dominatrix

Russian intelligence meets the Dominatrix

I was interviewed at the Barbican Centre in London by Russian language magazine website, Honeymilk, on the topic of the Dominatrix and my book. For those of you who understand Russian, the interview is up at: http://honeymilk.org/dominatrix/

 

 

 

It has apparently been garnering much interest and debate amongst Russian readers. (I unfortunately don't speak Russian, so am more or less in the dark until I meet up with a Russian friend in a few weeks time.)

Adding to the foreign language interest, a review of 'The History & Arts of the Dominatrix' is also coming up in famous Dutch fetish magazine, Massad. In fact, some of the rare vintage photographs featured in the book were taken a long time ago by Massad editor, Bert Wibo. So I can only hope he was pleased with the resulting book. No doubt they would have brought up fond memories of Dominatrices long since retired or passed.

A German website is also undertaking a major review of the book. This is fitting as the book itself features snapshots in time and place of women working in the profession of female domination in the Hague during the 1970s, and the Herberstrasse in the early 1980s. I shall post the links as they all emerge in the next few months for those who speak Dutch and German. Watch this space.
