sb: Mistress Simone it certainly is a great honor to get this exclusive interview with You! Please tell us a little about Your background. Where are You originally from?
SK: Many people ask me about my heritage, and I am an English, German, French and Cherokee Indian, “American". I am originally from Phoenix, Arizona. I moved to San Francisco in 1994 and recently moved to Los Angeles, in 2001.
sb: How Were You introduced to The Scene?
SK: I became involved in a personal relationship with someone who introduced me to SM and soon after I met a woman whom at the time was working for an establishment in SF. We became friends and she introduced me to some people in the community. I was very intrigued about the possibility of working professionally
sb: Where did you start professionally?
SK: At the Shadows in San Francisco.
sb: Wow i have heard that that place was really awesome! This might seem like a dumb question because You look so forceful and authoritative to me, but were You ever submissive?
SK: Yes, first on a personal level and then I started working as a professional submissive, then I began to switch. Over time I realized I preferred the dominant role.
sb: Yes i think You have found Your true calling. :) How old were You when You started Professionally?
SK: I'd rather not say… I can tell you I started in my late twenties. I look much younger than I am.
sb: For sure! Did You train under someone?
SK: I had the pleasure of working with many beautiful and talented women at The Shadows, who were truly skilled, insightful, and inspiring…
sb: Yes i know of The Shadows reputation! Please describe Your style of Domination?
SK: Seductive, sensual, and powerful. I combine many different elements into a scene. I like a session to be as memorable for me as it is for the person I am playing with. Chemistry is the most important element to me personally; without it everything feels mechanical.
sb: What is Your favorite type of scene?
SK: Every session is as unique as each individual. This is a tough question…I like sessions that teeter on the edge. I like to push it. I enjoy terror and psychological games in combination with tactile play. I love to tease someone and toy with his or her desires. My feeling is that I prefer a session that, within the context of BDSM, is erotically charged. My sensuality is just another way in which I can provoke you to suffer for me in some capacity.
sb: Please tell me the most intense scene You ever did?
SK: Wow…well… Do I have to choose, let’s see? I have had some pretty incredible sessions. Just recently, I had a session and, from the start, there was no talking allowed, the scene having been negotiated before hand. My slave was blindfolded and gagged, and I proceeded to work him over with heavy CBT and NT while suspended. Face slapping, spitting, ball kicking, in addition to some verbal humiliation, and flogging and single tail whipping, knife play, some breath play and forcible play-rape, while restrained with the threat of electrical punishment if he didn't comply with my wishes.
For another scene, I administered a four-quart ivory soap enema in combination with forced retention, gut punching and electrical play. Really intense and a lot of fun.
sb: Wow that's pretty heavy! And what was the most humiliating thing You ever did to a slave?
SK: While delivering some heavy verbal humiliation, I restrained one subject with orders to piss and shit himself while laying in his mess for an extended period of time, in addition to spitting on him, and hitting him in the balls.
sb: How about public humiliation. Do You get into that?
SK: Public humiliation is risky and I love that. I remember being at Folsom Street fair one year and doing a golden shower publicly. That was a thrill. I have participated in some subtle and discreet games in restaurants also.
sb: How about cross-dressers? Do You enjoy these type of scenes?
SK: I do, men who are in touch with their feminine side are delightful. I have taken some men shopping for lingerie and had them try it on for me in the dressing room. I love forced cross-dressing scenes as a form of humiliation also.
sb: Do You enjoy water-sports?
SK: Most definitely, yes. There are so many creative ways to give a golden shower. This can be a reward for a slave but I also like giving them as punishment or as a form of humiliation. One time, I saved my urine for a week and forced him to drink every last drop through a funnel with a long tube. After he completed that, I continued to force him to ingest even more until he could no longer drink, when he pleaded for me to stop, I proceeded.
sb: Very cool! Your legs and feet are absolutely exquisite. Do You enjoy foot worship?
SK: Yes… I adore foot worship. There is nothing better than having a submissive kiss or massage my feet. It is really very erotic.
sb: Do You prefer taunting Your slaves in boots or open toe shoes?
SK: Both. A man at my feet is a wonderful form of worship. Trampling is another activity I really like. Forcing a slave to suck the heel of my shoe, towering over him and then forcing the heel into his nipples or other areas of his body, is certainly empowering.
sb: For sure! Do You like heavy corporal?
SK: Yes, yes, yes of course… I love the traditional spanking; also, caning and the single-tail are my favorites. When the welts start to rise, it is, at least for me, really exciting, apart from knowing that I can really satisfy my sadistic nature. Corporal is truly something I love.
sb: Are there other Mistresses in the Scene that You admire?
SK: There are so many. Wow! Mistress Marisha (who has retired), Petra Saint, Yin, all of these women I know personally. Some I have admired from afar Midori, Morgana, Eisanna Eiger, Sabre Syn and the Vinyl Queen. So many of these women in particular are articulate, intelligent, beautiful, mysterious and talented. Some others have caught my eye… some whom I don't know but from what I have read have made an impression.
sb: Yes they are excellent choices and Mistress Vinyl Queen's interview will be following Yours very shortly. Do You have any personal slaves?
SK: Yes
sb: Lucky slaves. :) Can a slave who scenes with You also be photographed if he wishes?
SK: Yes
sb: What kind of slaves do You like the most and least?
SK: Submissives who are sincere about exploring every aspect that is related to BDSM is what I encourage. I am really very open minded about playing with people on almost every level. I expect a slave, bottom, masochist to be honest with me about his or her desires, when they try to script out every moment of a scene, they seem to be missing out on the chemistry that can come from spontaneity. Mostly, I will not tolerate people who are rude or ask for sexual services, and I won't play with anyone who is intoxicated or under the influence.
sb: What is Your favorite type of clothing?
SK: Elegant fetish wear that is well made. Leather, latex or vinyl. Shoes! Can't have enough of them. Hollywood Boulevard has soooo many shoe stores; I could spend every last cent I have there. I also love girdles, vintage lingerie and, of course, the simple black dress.
sb: What is the greatest thrill You get from Domination?
SK: That I can share and live out almost every fantasy I can imagine. I also have the ability to discover things about myself, and I feel that I am able to provide others with the opportunity to explore their deepest desires and fetishes that they can't do with just anyone. Sessions are really special to me. It is exciting to meet someone, who maybe you don't know very well, and have an intimate encounter with them.
sb: Do you session with novices?
SK: Yes, it is always my pleasure to introduce and guide them in their explorations. I am happy to answer any questions they might have. I have a gentle and compassionate nature also. I can tailor the scene to meet the special needs of the novice or a seasoned player.
sb: What is one of your favorite positions to have a sub in?
SK: Helplessness!
sb: i sort of figured that.:). What is your favorite drink?
SK: A really nice whiskey… it allows me to relax. Also, big phoo phoo-fluffy tropical drinks with umbrellas and pineapple slices and cherries.
sb: What are some of your other interests?
SK: Apart from SM I am an experimental film maker, artist, and a collector of sub-culture memorabilia (like snow-globes and pin-up girls). I also like to watch wrestling; the Luche Libre is great!
sb: Do You have any videos for sale?
SK: No, live sessions are so much better, it is a very real and personal experience. Some people have asked me to make videos but I am not sure that it is something I really want to do just yet.
sb: What are Your favorite types of gifts?
SK: Gifts are certainly not expected; any gesture is appreciated though. Candles music, and fetish clothing, shoes, or any kind of equipment that might add to my collection. Flowers are nice too, but I don't really like candy very much.
sb: Do You play in Your personal life?
SK: Yes, all of the time. It is the ultimate!
sb: What is a really kinky scene that You haven't done yet that You would like to do with a slave?
SK: (Laughing) I am not sure that is legal.
sb: Oops, sorry i asked. :) Do You also work with Women and couples?
SK: Yes. I have had some really great sessions with couples and women are so lovely.
sb: Describe some special tools or devices in Your dungeon?
SK: I work out of many different dungeons that are fully equipped. I do bring some of my own equipment in addition to what is provided, but I have many favorite toys.
sb: You are really stunningly beautiful. Have You ever modeled professionally?
SK: Thank you for the compliment, I did some print modeling when I was younger, but I like fetish modeling. I have had shoots primarily with Mark Holthusen, Eric Kroll and I just recently had a shoot with Dave Naz. I have been published in Leg Show, Whap Magazine, Twilight, Skin Two and a few other publications. I would like to do more fetish modeling, I enjoy it.
sb: I know you have traveled extensively. What places have you found the most appealing?
SK: New York! It was a blast! 24 hours of fun!
sb: Yes New York is a cool town! If someone gave You 5 million dollars, what would You do with it?
SK: I think I would be extravagant. Shopping! I love shopping. Travel more, definitely. I would love to see Spain and also go to Cuba. I would probably buy a house in Mexico City or in a small village outside of Mexico City like San Miguel Allende. It is so beautiful there.
sb: Please tell everyone how you can be contacted for a session?
SK: My direct line is 323-363-3362 and I have dedicated phone hours from 10:30 AM until 12 noon Monday through Friday. I do, however, try to answer the phone as often as possible. I can take some same day appointments but I prefer engagements with some advance notice. I can also be contacted by e-mail and also see My website.
sb: Mistress Simone this interview was really an honor for me! i know how busy and famous You are and i appreciate You taking time out of Your busy schedule to do it for me. Please tell everyone where You are currently doing sessions as i am sure You are going to be inundated with requests after everyone reads Your interview and sees Your spectacular photos:).
SK: I travel between San Francisco and Los Angeles frequently, almost monthly. The dungeon spaces that I session at are fully equipped, private and I am very discreet. I session at a private dungeon located in the arts district in downtown Los Angeles. In San Francisco, I utilize Petra Saint’s studio, which is in the city, South of Market otherwise known as the SOMA district, and also Mistress Danielle’s in the east bay.
sb: Very good. Thank You again Mistress!
SK: You're welcome bruce. I really enjoyed answering Your questions.
