EDITORIAL
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
iN real estate parlance, these are the only three things to look for in a piece
of property. Forget about roomy backyards, plumbing problems Or custom woodwork.
All that matters is location, location, location. As any property agent will tell
you, a dump on skid row is just a dump, but a dump in Beverly Hills is a very
desirable fixer-upper. Too bad some professional dominas don't heed such advice
when they look for a place to build their dungeons!
In my quarter century of visiting professional dominas throughout North America
and Europe, I have been to B&D chambers located in some pretty dumpy neighborhoods.
I remember one time in north Florida I was visiting a young dominatrix who lived
and worked in an old, rundown, clapboard house on the wrong side of the tracks.
I had to detour the half-burned hulk of a car, and sidestep piles of garbage to
get there, but get there I did. I walked up onto the rickety, raisEd Wooden porch
and knocked on the front door. The doorbell didn't work. Just as the mistress
opened the door, my foot sank through a rotting floorboard and I ended up saying,
"How do you do?" face-to-face with her studded-leather panties!
Another time I found myself in a rough neighborhood in Hamburg, quite late at
night. The dominatrix wanted photos and an ad. My taxi driver wouldn't take me
right to the address. He let me off at the corner, shaking his head, saying something
like, "Foolish American." I had my camera bag slung over my shoulder
and my briefcase in hand. Walking along, two young thugs tried to make trouble,
but it's amazing what a sturdy briefcase to the groin can do to dissuade a hooligan!
Fighting my way to a dominatrix is not my idea fun, however.
Yet another time I parked my rental car in the safest looking spot in a shabby
section of Vancouver, to meet with a dominatrix who sought advertising. The neighbor
hood sucked, but the mistress and her dungeon seemed okay. When I got back out
to my car the passenger-side window was smashed, the stereo was yanked from the
dash and my suitcase was missing from the trunk. Needless to say, none of these
ladies ever appeared in DDI It's not that they were personally undesirable. It's
just that their choice of work locations was unacceptable. I refuse to knowingly
put a reader of DDI in peril. It's bad enough I've had to fight for my camera
bag and fall through rotting floor boards. You shouldn't have to.
These were extreme cases. Understandably, there are good reasons why a substantial
percentage of dominas' dungeons are in downtown locations, even if she's an uptown
girl. First and foremost is cost. If a dominatrix has to give too much money to
her landlord, she may not have enough left to buy all the pricey bondage gear
and kinky outfits you crave. Second is neighborhood watch. Most affluent, house-proud
communities would prefer not to have an SM emporium move in. Everyone is watchful.
Down-market neighborhoods, on the other hand, are far less judgmental. Third comes
architecture considerations. Believe it or not, old downtown lofts and commercial
buildings are much better for B&D play than swanky apartments. They have higher
ceilings (for suspension), good old hardwood flooring (for high-heel sound effects),
and thick walls for easy soundproofing. Better-located, more-modem buildings,,with
low ceilings, overly plush carpeting, and rice paper partitions make lousy places
to drizzle hot wax and crank a noisy winch up and down!
Nobody expects professional mistresses to work at The Ritz, but there should be
a limit to the risk and squalor to which some low-rent dominas subject their prospective
clients. Dungeon safety is not the only consideration. Safety to and from Madam's
door should also be a factor in choosing a dominatrix. How can you show generosity
if you're robbed while getting to her? With your car alarm going off, how can
you enjoy a spanking in your new French maids outfit?
There is a solution. Dominas want good space at a low cost. Submissives don't
want to get mugged; therefore, it behooves a dominatrix to locate somewhere that
is reasonably safe, cost-effective and spacious, but isn't going to unduly risk
either her, or her client's well-being. Think about ease of access, secure parking,
and a discreet entry vestibule, without broken wine bottles and the stink of urine.
The neighborhood doesn't have to be perfect, but your welcome mat should be. Also,
ladies, alert your client beforehand to any perils in your area, especially if
he's an out-of-towner. Make suggestions and reassure him as to the quality and
security of your inner play space. If he's half a man he'll appreciate the heads
up about the neighborhood and he can then decided whether to drive his own car,
arrange, for a taxi service, etc.
Gentlemen. Don't spend all your preliminary phone time with a dominatrix telling
her what you like. Respectfully ask if her neighborhood is safe after a certain
hour. Some parts of a city are still bustling at 6:00 p.m., but deserted and dangerous
by 10:00. And ask if there's safe car parking close by. This is why we put this
seemingly boring information on our DDIMAG.COM Web site directory! Most important, if you get near her address and you're feeling unsure about the neighborhood, don't just blow her off. Call her again to verify things. Thanks to cell phones that's a lot safer and easier than it used to be.
Believe me. I realize the appeal of low-cost, roomy lofts and warehouse space
for B&D playrooms. I also recognize the genuine concerns of someone leaving a brand new Mercedes parked, late at night, on skid row. A little communication goes a long way. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about!
