An Interview With The Famous Mistress Shakti
sb: Mistress Shakti, thank You VERY MUCH for this interview Please tell us a little about Your background. Where are You originally from?MS: Well, I was born in upstate NY but have lived in many places and started exploring the country at a young age... I had artist/musician parents and was raised a bit differently than most people in conventional, mundane society. So, due to my environment, I was exposed to a very expanded and worldly view from early on... encouraged to be creative and open minded.
sb: Please describe Your style of Domination?
MS: I would say My style flows naturally to fit the situation. Rather than catagorize or limit Myself to a certain style, I desire to expand My dynamic dexterity into the future. I am quite fun and easy going but I am extremely real and efficient in all that I do. I've known for a long, long time that I am a very special, potent Creature with a deeper awareness and the ability to channel and use much more powerful forces of creativity and beauty than the average person. I do not have to act or pretend to be a Goddess. I am a Goddess. So no matter what kind of 'scene' I am doing, My superb dominance is emphatic thus making any scene, be it light or severe, a genuine experience of true Divinity.
sb: What is Your favorite type of scene?
MS: One that lifts the barriers of the ego and the mind and takes everyone involved on a electrifying, transcending adventure... It is hard to pick one type of scene as a favorite as there are many paths to the same destination and I do enjoy variety.
sb: Please tell me the most intense scene You ever did?
MS: Hmm... that would be hard to pin down... guy who likes to get his dick run over with cars comes to mind... but even a sensual scene can be very intense.
sb: i know You love humiliation scenes. Had any good ones lately, You would like to share with the readers?
MS: Ooo, yes, some good humiliation gets Me pretty razzed! I've long had a fondness for spitting out vulgarities and spontanious acts of bizarre lewdness if even just for the sheer shock value alone. I had a really exciting situation not too long ago where two sessions kind of overlapped. One filthy booklicking bitchboy driving 3 hours to see me missed his morning appointment and got there in the afternoon when I happened to be doing a sesh with another of My bootlicking bitchboys.
Normally, I don't answer the phone when engaged in a session but we had gone way over the 'hour' and the one bitchboy had been waiting in his car in the designated spot for awhile... he called again as the session in progress was coming to a much anticipated climax and I just knew it would be so hot to answer the phone. Hehehe. And it was. bitchboy in the car got to hear Me finishing up getting all verbal with them both while sitting in a public place for the beginning of his sesh, his clit raging hard in public! hahaha!... guy tied to my table got to end his knowing someone was listening. I even made him say some stuff into the phone. It was totally exhilarating. The onslaught of verbal barrage to the both of them at once was like an orgasmic fountain of hot lava spewing all over the place! Absolutely fantastic.
sb: How about crossdressers? Do You enjoy these type of scenes?
MS: I love fashion, clothing, costumes and make-up... so yes, I do. I use to dress my brothers up and have a knack for coercing even the most straight vanilla guys into wearing anything I want.
sb: Do You enjoy watersports?
MS: Sometimes. I've had lots of fun pissing on boyfriends. I think it's rather intimate and messy so a typical golden shower is not something that I guarantee. I'm not saying a golden shower would never happen if the mood struck Me but, as I mentioned, it's not something I generally do.
sb: Your legs and feet are absolutely exquisite. Do You enjoy foot worship?
MS: Aren't they? Yes, I do. My feet deserve much worship and pampering. It just happens that I live for foot massages! And leg massages. But it takes someone with a LOT of devotion, stamina and strength to massage Me the way I really like.
sb: Do You like heavy corporal?
MS: Of course. It's a great workout and can be very rewarding for both Domme and sub. It's a simple and direct way to break down physical and emotional barriers at the same time.
sb: What is Your favorite implement for this?
MS:. Do I really have to pick? Sometimes I get a kick of having a favorite but it goes in cycles kinda like a favorite pair of jeans or necklace or something... and I also enjoy going ADD on My plethora of implements.
sb: Do You have any personal slaves?
MS: Many apply, none are chosen. Lol. I have several bitchboys who are available and waiting for Me to call on them. I sometimes use 'em for various tasks. But no live-in's right now, I'm too busy for that.
sb: Do You offer financial slavery?
MS: It's not listed on My site and it’s not something I actively pursue but yes, I'd hope someone interested in Me as their financial Goddess would comprehend it to be under 'many other fetishes and fantasies'. I deserve to be showered in abundance and there are many souls who can gain much more meaning to their otherwise shallow existence by tributing their money and assets to Me. Spoil Me now it’s good karma!
In some religious systems people give money offerings to statues such as the Goddess Lakshmi. I find it much more understandable that someone would want to tribute a living, incarnated Goddess!
sb: What is the greatest thrill You get from Domination?
MS: Feeling the Power of Divinity flow through Me and become Me.
sb: What is Your opinion of slaves who try to top from the bottom?
MS: I think the term 'slave' is used very loosely and most calling themselves that really have no idea what true slavery is. A 'slave' trying to control things from the bottom wouldn't really be a slave, would he? A true slave is completely immersed in selfless service. I guess there's different levels of slavery but, in all honesty, We Pro Dommes session with a lot of individuals who are not slaves at all, they just want to pretend and play for a little while, which can be a lot of fun as long as they remain respectful!
sb: Do you session with novices?
MS: Of course. Usually it is the ones who've been sessioning for years that are the most blown away and appreciative of All that I Am... but even the very first timers seem to know they scored big time for their first session coming to see Me.
sb: Do You have any fan clubs or groups?
MS: I think there are a few subbies who've dedicated their myspace pages to Me...I started a yahoo group but it's for pro-bdsm GIRLS ONLY so We may talk in privacy.
sb: What can a sub visiting You for the first time do to please You?
MS: Make all the appointed confirmation calls and let Me know of any changes in plans asap. Show up clean with fresh breath. A gift is not necessary but makes a good impression! Be polite, thoughtful, communicative, honest, responsive, appreciative and most importantly, just be yourself.
sb: But you are much more than a professional and lifestyle >Domina, perhaps you could share one or two of your other interests?
MS: I enjoy being active and doing things that take physical endurance. I love music and dancing. I like to get dirty in the outdoors. I think I'd make a hell of a race car driver. I am very artistic and enjoy creating with many mediums. I am an avid vegetarian who disdains the blatant abuse of animals and children.
sb: What are Your favorite types of gifts?
MS: All types. Big or small, it is the intention that matters. I adore shoes and clothing but I am also a very practical Girl and would prefer a gift card to Lowe's over Victoria's Secret almost any day. Of course, cash is awesome. I'm still waiting for a slave to buy Me something amazingly impressive like a house or something.
sb: Do You attend any public functions where Your many fans can meet You?
MS: As I'm not too far from Atlanta, I've been attending all the DomCons in the fall since they started a few years ago. And on occasion, I attend other events as well. Anyone who wants to offer getting Me to a kickass party and the chance to slave for My stay, lemme know! I just might take you up on it.
I've heard the Purgatory parties in Charlotte are great and I've been wanting to get Myself over there for one as Charlotte's not too far. I'm planning on putting together private domestic parties in the near future, lil' private parties at My place that slaves can purchase tickets to come serve Me and My Girlfriends while We just hang out. heh heh heh! So much fun to be had!
sb: Do You also work with Women and couples?
MS: Yes. I've had some great times with Women and couples. I love doing double Domme sessions! As far as sub girls, I guess I'm too much of a Female Supremacist and don't feel comfortable agreeing that I will beat or severely humiliate a female. Some light, fun play, sure, but typically I'm not into heavy, severe play on a female. Helping her rise up in Her glory to dominate Her man would be way more My thing.
sb: I know You have traveled extensively? What places have You found the most appealing?
MS: Well, as I grow and evolve so do My tastes and preferences. I've spent time in several cities and in remote country areas and found that I prefer a balance between city and nature. Asheville is the perfect place for me right now as it has a very hip, freaky, fun city vibe but is small and nestled into the trees where I can enjoy the Earth’s natural wonders.
sb: What Mistresses do You admire in the scene?
MS: I don't really know a lot of Mistresses on a personal level. I appreciate Someone who is confidant and comfortable enough with Herself that She does not feel threatened or jealous of other Mistresses and would rather join together as Sisters than opponents, and of course I really dig the supa' bitchin', extremely cool, kick-ass, sizzlin' hot Dommes with Their own unique styles.
sb: Please tell us about Your facilities ?
MS: Right now I have a private place very easy to get to with plenty of parking. A little 5 room basement dungeon in a house. The 2 rooms that most sessions take place in I call 'heaven'. I have those rooms all fixed up to my likings with all my tools and decor. There is another room I call 'purgatory' which is kinda like a cell that presently has a cage in it, and 2 more rooms I call 'hell'. They are very dark and dank, haven’t used those rooms much (yet, ha ha ha). There is also a small bathroom with a shower. I am quite pleased with it.
sb: How can prospective slaves contact you?
MS: All my contact info is on My website. I can be reached by phone, email or snail mail. Sometimes I can be hard to reach but I try to eventually answer all messages.
sb: Mistress Shakti, thank You VERY much for the interview. It really was an honor for me!
MS: Yes, I know it was bruceyboy. I totally rock.
