One of My seminal hero images by Lucas Messerer from Soul Focus StudioHi A/all,
March 3 2007 was the fateful day I emailed Amanda Dwyer at Salon Kittys to announce My leaving to focus on making latex clothing under My now historical label, Gomu Latex.
3 weeks later, I conducted My first session as an independant Domme, hiring space from Mistress Servalan at Her old studio in Ashfield. (holla at Me if you remember?)
I read My horoscope on Sept 15 2007 after taking on the lease at what was to become My first BDSM studio in Glebe. It claimed that "today was the first day of the rest day of My life". Touche.
It was also My 29th birthday - but the terrible horoscopical cliche ran true; it was indeed the time of the start of My coming of age both as a Pro and a Domme, as future world-recognized brand, international kink educator, rope bondage performer, latex maker.
I had very little cash and very few clients. I saved everything I made and put it back into My business - which I'm still doing! I just figured that if I worked hard, delivered as best I could 24/7, and was consistent, I'd be on a winner.
One of our best images ever, with Soul Focus Studio
Meeting Luke from Soul Focus Studio was one of the greatest points on the map of My career. We have created such amazing fetish imagery together and just enjoyed such wonderful times, as friends, co-creatives and kinksters. Thanks mate. You are now a legend in the world wide sense, as you so rightly deserve. I still remember that morning I got an email to say we were FINALLY in Heavy Rubber mag...
I started to travel to LA and became a model for Bootlovers.com. I also started to write for Tony Mitchell's "The Fetishistas" blog, and covered Australian kink topics for over 4 years.
After I got up some speed as a Pro Domme, I was then asked to educate. I ran workshops in Melbourne and Sydney for different entities and became known for My watershed "Sensory Deprivation Bondage" and Aikido inspired "Takedown Bondage" workshops. I gave up My Sundays and week nights to Uber to teach people how to have better, safer, sexier play lives.
I was awarded Sydney Ms Leather in 2012 and then My confidence in contributing to My community really had ballast. Under the auspice of SLPA and The Oxford Hotel, I competed in San Francisco for the International Title.
I then came home to run Rope Flow, a rope group raising funds for Twenty 10. I then co-convened the Sydney Fetish League, presenting the titles of Sydney Mr and Ms Fetish.
I started to present at events in Florida and hold workshops down the East Coast, including NYC. My style was desired, so I was flown by community entities in those cities to present and perform - a very great privilege. With Beyond Leather in Florida I hosted the Australian Power Exchange contest.
These days of working in this community paradigm are pretty much over for Me, and I'd rather focus on My own events with My new space as a different way to contribute to My community.
I outgrew My studio in Glebe and 18 months ago I graduated to a new benchmark. I'm now building a bigger better and more fabulous studio in Leichhardt, incorporating a workshop area called PEAK Space for the afore mentioned community events. I've graduated My "space holding" skills from one-on-one sessions, to multi-person events.
I'm still here, still learning, still hungry and still creative. Game on.
What a ride.
TEN YEARS of hard consistent work as one of Australia's best independants
TWO BDSM dungeons later
Los Angeles. Tokyo. Osaka. Florida. New York. London. Amsterdam. Lyon. Thanks for the perspective.
Piles of rubber, all the gear a Domme could want and a HUGE collection of the best fetish boots in the world.
And now, breaking new boundaries of a different kind on the cover of Penthouse...
See you in another decade!
Best, ever!

And so I land on the cover of Australian Penthouse, thanks to Roberto Duran
