INTERVIEW WITH MISTRESS DOMINIQUE OF SEATTLE

I was born in Hollywood. My mother is British and father is a Texan. I spent a lot of time as child in England with my British family, attending school there. (I even got to wear the little British grey school uniform with red knee socks. I got to experience real corporal punishment first hand with the HeadMistress's ruler across my hand once.) As a teenager, I moved to Holland on my own on a cultural program and attended high school in a little town called Bergen Op Zoom. I learned to speak Dutch fluently and experienced a very progressive open minded culture at a young age.

I absolutely love Seattle. It has many of the favorable aspects of Europe that I so loved - the open markets, easy public transportation, frequent festivals. The city is not too big, people are very friendly as well as being extremely open minded. This is a town where you could walk down the street on Capital Hill with a man on a leash and no one would blink an eye. The entire Northwest is magnificent also.

Like many Dommes, I have been submissive before, yes.
I was very young, a teenager working at a printing company with my mother. Our main accounts were hard core porn magazines. As a proofer, my job was to essentially stare at porn all day long through a magnifying glass in order to line up registration and arrange for fine color corrections. I did this for maybe three years. During this time, my perception of how Women should be treated became completely warped. Porn women became my role models in many senses. The constant brainwashing of seeing Women merely as flesh, merely as pleasure toys for men, gaining attention by their altered body shapes and willingness to engage in "nasty" activities caused a sort separation of body and mind in me.
I became a prime victim for an older man who wished to exploit this. Coupled with the fact that I have extreme bipolar (a form of depression) and recently had my heart broken by a man in Holland, I became for a few years a mindless robot to men.
I won't bore you with the story of how I got out of it all. I realize that many Women take great pleasure in being submissive. For me however, I never received any pleasure from it and it is not to my taste. However, the advantage to me in domming is obvious. I am well aware of what almost everything feels like that can be inflicted in a physical sense.
Many provocative men like to say "oh, she is a bitter man-hater.", if they know of this. But that is not true in the least. I would not engage in the things I do if I were a man-hater.
