If I had you in a room alone with me I have a feeling you would be hooked.

You are a visionary! I love your self-control in this video. After the first crack I’d have been stomping all over place!

I do love a pair of heels with a red bottom!

I’ve got such incredible gear, a beautiful private studio that’s among the best equipped in NYC, a career’s worth of experience and creativity, and a deep, genuine, abiding love for bondage … not to mention terrific play partners! Instead of jaded, I’ve been feeling more excited to play than ever.

Turned out, there were a few! Lucrative. Stigma-free. Celebrated. Fun, even. Many folks’ dream jobs. And yet I never stopped playing — and never wanted to stop.

When I started d*mming 20+ years ago, I thought *for sure* I would have quit doing it by now, certain I’dve grown bored, disenchanted, or there’d eventually be another fascinating career opportunity to pull me away.

“Maybe it’s a positive thing that I still fall for it,” I mused. “Means I’m not too jaded to keep doing this work.”

Had a demoralizing experience recently that I should’ve seen coming (because it’s happened before) but I still got suckered. I was commiserating about it with a friend who’d gone through something similar.

I’m not online enough so it took me a minute. Thanks for the chuckle!

As I toil away at my own website refresh, I’m thinking a lot about what makes a great site. What are your favorite provider websites? Ones that reinvent the form, stand out, are functionally flawless, or have successfully compelled you to book? (Feel free to nominate your own!)
