An Interview With The World Renowned Domina Verushka! 

sb: Domina Verushka, this is really a privilege for me to interview someone as famous as You. Please tell us a little about Your background. Are You originally from California?

DV: Yes, I am originally from the Golden State. A Golden Blonde Haired Beach Girl raised in Southern California who wandered the many coves of Laguna Beach and Newport and Dana Point long before they were built up and overcrowded. The Ocean waves crashed in the coves and I would wander and collect shells in my teen years, some of which I still have! How I loved the ocean and the smell of salt sea air. When high school was out I was in my girlfriend's convertible Oldsmobile and away we went, two young girls with hair blowing in the wind, out the freeways of L.A. County and down to the beach! Where especially I would "hunt" for boys to "capture" with my camera lens. I still have those photos of my victims and will post them on my member's site!

sb: Oh wow! Can't wait to see them! How Were You introduced to The Scene?

DV: I was introduced to the scene in 1980, by a very big-brotherly gay man friend of mine, Dale, who was a theater company director. He knew everybody. When he found out that I liked leather, he dressed me in his full set when he found me admiring and smelling the leatherness of them. I liked what I saw in the mirror! And then, at his suggestion, we did a cross-dress with me ending up having a blonde mustache and being sandwiched in to the Arena gay bar , where no girls were allowed to go, between he and his boyfriend, Butch. I passed! That was 1980.

sb: Very cool! Where did You start Professionally?

DV: I started in San Francisco 1983 in the house of Cynthia Slater, founder of Janus Society, on a sweltering September afternoon in the company of Mistress Pepper.

sb: This might seem like a dumb question because You look so forceful and authoritative to me, but were You ever submissive?

DV: Submissive.......ooooooooooooooh, yes. To my prison-warden mother. For about eight years before I ran away. It was non-consensual, you see. But I did eight years hard time.

sb: How old were You when You started Professionally?

DV: Well, well, well...now that would be tellin'! What kind of question is that for a gentle servant to be asking a lady? Let's just say that I was in my sexual prime! No, that won't work because I am still raging. How about this. I was what forty year olds called 'young'.

sb: i apologize Domina. Did You train under someone?

DV: I did not have an on going solid and steady "mentor" for months or years, but I did have some weeks with Cynthia and she was nothing to sneeze at! I am a natural with being tall, Amazonian, angular and Germanic. I just had the "essence and bloodline". I attended many Shotwell House gatherings where all manner of San Francisco pervery was voyeurable! And I do mean I saw every explicit action imaginable being done! I even saw a woman get fisted at a gay boys event! All things happened in San Francisco and they happened in the 1980's! I picked up numerous techniques and applied them in my sessions. I partied with the original guard!

sb: Yes that was quite a period! What is Your favorite type of scene?

DV: Favorite scenes happen when my sub is properly respectful and never demanding. I start very well and get inspired to be very creative when I get a true foot fetishist who loves to begin by Royal Ped massage. Tongue toe-teasings. I also adore any kind of cross-dressing scene where my girl really wants total transformation. You know-eyelashes and fingernails, full makeup and swishy walk. I also love piercing scenes with many needles and the occasional restaurant outing scene where I may humiliate in a most creative and elegant way. C&B torture done to the nines! All Mine!

sb: Please tell me the most intense scene You ever did?

DV: Intensity arrived at its peak when my Swiss auto mechanic, a very charming and strong man of 38, wished me to blindfold, bind and gag him, then suspend his arms from the ceiling while he stood and begged me not to stop even when he screamed through his gag. I was to flog him repeatedly and until I, myself, wanted to quit. The implement? A home made whip that he made himself with a dowel rod and strands of flexible Wire. Yes, metal Wire! Can you believe it? He built it and he knew what he was doing. He was an auto mechanic. He wanted me to flay his skin wide open and have blood running all over the place and on the walls! If you are cringing right now at the thought, then you know how I felt. I did not wish to do damage to that degree, and he was very disappointed that I only drew a little sanguine. He cried and moaned when I slashed him, and he cried and moaned when I took the gag out and told him I would do absolutely no more. I think, in all honesty that he had a death wish.

sb: Wow that is intense! Can You tell me the most humiliating thing You ever did to a slave?

DV: Oh, actually that is quite hilarious. I think several different types of things are "the most". Little bursts of Royal Mistress Flatulence at close range while he is tied and lying on the floor (had to eat lots of beans and garlic!). Making a subject drink deeply from a snifter at an elegant restaurant, a whole glassful of Her Golden Nectars while people were in full view of our table. Commanding a subject to kiss my boots, prostrate at a busy airport, and then polish them afterward. Making a subbie run dressed in only a thong down the hallways of a nice hotel, shouting " I'm free at last, free at last!" Ordering a crosser to run down to the corner in heels to mail a letter for Mistress. Took a video of that one! Better than Candid Camera!

sb: How about public humiliation. Do You get into that?

DV: Oh, yes as you can tell from the above. And I love challenges from other Mistresses or even contests! That's fun! Going out duet with another Mistress for an evening of embarrassing our subs for our gleeful entertainment!

sb: How about crossdressers? Do You enjoy these type of scenes?

DV: Full on. The most advanced and involved Transformation sessions are my joy. Big, bouncy, squishy boobs included.

sb: Do You enjoy watersports?

DV: OH YES, and only when I am in the mood.....not necessarily when he is. I like to surprise him! However it is not often that my subject is ungrateful for such fun.

sb: Do You enjoy foot worship?

DV: Oh absolutely. And the more talented the massager, the more exotic his reward! I love all kinds of foot activity. It can go on for Hours! I will train his tongue. I do not want him using it until I Order!

sb: Do You prefer taunting Your slaves in boots or open toe shoes?

DV: Depending on the slave, both types. Boots are fun in public, though! The higher the better. Love to walk into a five-star restaurant wearing thigh highs.

sb: Do You like heavy corporal?

DV: Oh yes. It is not everyday that someone wishes his bottom turned to hamburger but when the request is sincere, I supply with Glee and Gusto! Most of them want only the soft touch. Until they have visited me for more than four sessions....then they seem to beg for more! It is trust that I build, you see. Delicate trust.

sb: Do You ever do sessions with other Mistresses? If so, how much lead time do You need to arrange this?

DV: Well obviously, the more time, the merrier as more planning and deviltry can be mustered. But if I like the Dom, not much time is needed, as most of the silly boys do not like to plan but are.... how do they say..... 'spontaneous'. I usually kick their asses for that, too.

sb: Do You enjoy bloodsports?

DV: Very much, but I am extremely selective in who I will do that with. It is a tender and intimate thing and we can get very sexy with it when I know the subbie well!

 

 

sb: Have You ever done branding?

DV: I have only done two brandings. The first subject came back for a second whirl as the first brand faded, since I was rather gentle. But his second one fairly Sizzled! Smoke rose up from my iron! The smell of flesh. Loved that terrible, drawn out scream! He was from Texas and I called him my Longhorn! The second subject was a young blond English man who was of Viking mentality and craved the heavy stuff. We did it with love.

sb: Can a slave who scenes with You also be photographed if he wishes?

DV: Oh, most definitely. It is a joy to photo and video people! Record their moans and groans if they like that. It is extra work, though. High quality is always extra effort.

sb: What kind of slaves do You like the most and least?

DV: It is the demanding, whiny, pouty and foul smelling that I wish to stay away from. And subs who don't take care of their toenails! Nor do I tolerate stoics. Bumps on logs, as I like to call them.

sb: What is YOUR favorite type of clothing?

DV: I like tight leather and shiny black PVC. This shows off my voluptuous and shapely figure. Anything which makes the breasts bulge out is exciting for me, because I know it drives them wild! Makes me feel so Femme. I love to be Femme and strut confidently at the same time. I am an exhibitionist!

sb: What is the greatest thrill You get from Domination?

DV: Oh, gee, after all these years? The fact that my original few slaves still stay in touch with me and say that I was the most memorable in 15 years of their experimenting in many different situations. Receiving cards which tell me they still love me. I also like to verbally dominate young men strangers out in the big world, in a quiet way when they are not expecting it. And I love to see them get shy and perhaps produce a bulge in their pants! Doormen at fine hotels, bellmen and porters, waiters at fancy restaurants and musicians who play live as dance bands.

sb: Do you session with novices?

DV: Yes I do, but the novices must show intelligence and sensitivity and be very comfortably communicative. I no longer see just any novice. But if I like him, he is in for the most wonderful treat of his life!

sb: i certainly believe that! What is one of your favorite positions to have a sub in?

DV: Down on his hands and knees scrubbing floor, dressed in French Maid attire with his fanny in the air. Or commanding him to put his cock in the mouth of another willing slave-boy. I love that!

sb: What is your favorite drink?

DV: I like Pina Colada, or fresh pressed Mango juice or a certain Merlot. Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. Droste hot chocolate. Fresh Spring Water.

sb: But you are much more than a professional and lifestyle Domina, perhaps you could share one or two of your other interests?

DV: Oooooooh yes. I engage in Brasilian Samba Dance, complete with feather costume and Middle Eastern BellyDance, full costume (I instruct in this). I make Goddess costumes for plays enacting some of the ancient archetypes. I play guitar and flute and do a great job making CD burns of compilations for my friends. I speak many languages and travel just for cultural education. I immerse myself. And I garden and design precious tiny fairy patches and secret forests in the backyards of friends' homes. I have been doing all of that for a very long time, as well!

sb: What is Your philosophy of life?

DV: Philosophy could be summed up this way:
* Do as ye will and harm none.
* Love is the Law; Love under Will.
* When men honor women, a whole lot more good sex happens. If the world is going to hell in a hand basket, do your best to clean up your mess and sometimes someone else's mess, and then enjoy the best of the remaining beauty you can still find.

sb: Do You offer lifestyle management?

DV: To some intelligent types, most definitely.

sb: As a Female Supremacist, what is Your opinion of the OWK? Do You think a community like that could ever exist in the U.S.?

DV: Only if your uncle is Donald Trump and submissive.

sb: Do You have any videos for sale?

DV: One may be coming this year. I think Ilsa Strix and I could do a bang-up job together! I shall propose this to her.

sb: Yes, Mistress Ilsa and You would really make a dynamic duo! What are Your favorite types of gifts?

DV: Gifts which come from lists I have given out. Lists. You must ask for a List!!! Other than that, Pink Roses and Markham Merlot. Late Harvest Resiling. Emeralds. Jaguar E Types. Beachfront property.

sb: Do You play in Your personal life?

DV: Oh, of course. Come on. I've been public with this for more than a decade and a half! I dig it! Yeah! Many funny police stories to tell from different cities. Love to dom them cops. They usually melt. Police are difficult in other countries, I might caution! Find my cop stories on my members area.

sb: What is a really kinky scene that You haven't done yet that You would like to do with a slave?

DV: I would like to tie a slave to a tree in the forest and tickle him with feathers when other hikers come up and discover us. Or leave him to be discovered while I hide behind another tree and watch! Maybe smear honey on his toes and wait for the ants! Tee Hee (I do respond to sincere begging!)!

sb: That's pretty wild! What is the harshest scene that You ever witnessed but did not participate in?

DV: I saw at Living in Leather Five, in Portland Oregon in 1992, a whipping scene done at the evening play-party by Ruth, inside a room made of clear plastic walls. There was blood splattering everywhere and the flogging did not stop! I saw people cringe and get nauseous over that. I just looked on in admiration. She did a good job and it was consensual.

sb: Do You also work with Women and couples?

DV: Absolutely. It is something I love very much and will drop almost anything to accommodate.

sb: How do You feel about anal training?

DV: I feel it should be done in great cleanliness and very gently.

sb: Describe some special tools or devices in Your dungeon?

DV: My sling is a favorite. My teeth are special and so is the way I use my nails. Too many tools to describe. But I hate claiming to have what everybody else has.

sb: Could You describe what would be the "perfect scene" for You if the slave gave You complete authority to do whatever You wished?

DM: That you will have to read about in my Members area on my website.

sb: If someone gave You 10 million dollars, what would You do with it?

DM: Build the Quintessential Playspace. Give One Mil to the Charity of my choice; probably to one which educates teenagers against getting pregnant. Promote and Host an amazing Kinky Cruise ship voyage to the Caribbean. Build the housing for five of my favorite cars and keep servants to maintain them, and a butler who would do very good work at the tasks I give him to do. Sex slaves perform well for free. Other servants need to be paid! Ha,..... betcha didn't expect that one! I learned that from Cynthia Slater a long time ago, and it roved to be true!

sb: What is the one thing in the world that really disturbs You?

DV: Orphaned children everywhere. Babies thrown away in dumpsters and birthed in toilets. Too many births by women who have no control over or idea of how to care for a child. Combined with the fact that male birth control isn't here yet.

sb: Please tell everyone how You can be contacted for a session?

DV: Call me on the phone after visiting my website and reading the words carefully. Or look for me in current and old issues of DDI (Domination Directory International Magazine). Remember that I moved to Portland Oregon after 20 years in San Francisco.

sb: Domina Verushka, thank You VERY much for this interview. It was really an honor. Is there anything else You would like to say to our readers?

DV: The sessions I do these days are with very intelligent men. Sessions are lengthy. I no longer grant time for men who are lacking in respect of any kind. If you cannot read and deduce how to apply to me from my website instructions and cannot ask pertinent questions, then you do not have the brain capacity to gain audience with me. I am thrilled with gracious and worldly people who know a lot about life and who are compassionate about many things.

If you just got off of your construction job and belted down a few beers and decided you would have a spur of the moment session before going home to the wife.....I am not your Domina. The common behavior pattern these days in the new phone client applicant is not very encouraging. I turn many calls away for lack of common courtesy or lack of reading the details of my website. Do your best and rise above the rest. I do want to spend time with you if you are a fine quality person. Show me that you are one who I would be enriched to meet and spend time with. The telephone attitude is a powerful tool. Use it well!

sb: i certainly agree with You Domina. Thank You again for the interview.

DV: You're welcome bruce. Blessings and luck to you!
