End of an Era - Salon Kittys to close
Dear A/all,
It's with sadness I heard of the coming of an end of an era the other day - the imminent close of Sydney's world famous BDSM studio, "Salon Kittys".
"SK" - as those who session there affectionately call it - was where I cut My teeth as a Pro, sessioned with pride with some of Australia's best Dommes and enjoyed the benefit of the best equipment and facilities in the Southern Hemisphere.
It's not just due to SK that I'm where I am now; unless you run a BDSM studio yourself you can't know how investment-intensive it can be, but I definitely got a really good run up as a professional at SK after moving to Sydney in 2005.
Unfortunately, We as a professional community have now lost TWO greats in the last couple of years. The late "Domina's Realm" was My studio of choice in Melbourne - and now the best of Sydney is closing its doors.
Monday morning I immediately emailed Mistress Amanda, congratulating Her on Her "long service" to the Australian scene and to thank Her for the opportunities I enjoyed at SK. I also wished Her the very best in Her post-SK period and that prosperity would follow Her in whatever She next chose to train Her attention to. Mistress Amanda is a sexual health therapist as well as a Pro Domme, so I wish Her the very best of success for Her next venture!
I wish Mistress Amanda, Her family and all the Ladies of SK the very best.
Long live SK, and all those who have sailed in her!
MT

This is a monumental cultural loss for Sydney. The Salon Kitty's website alone was enough to eclipse similar institutions worldwide. Sole operators (like yourself) will struggle to fill the void caused by the loss of a large well equipped studio with a full roster of experienced mistresses and well supervised trainees.
Hi there diceman,
Hope you've been well since W/we last spoke...
Yes, it will be quite a loss to see SK go! I wish Mistress Amanda and all the ladies of SK the very best.
We now only have one house in Sydney to vet and train our Ladies, so perhaps something will emerge to fill this void you talk of?
Best regards and have a great week,
MT
