sb: Goddess Claudia thank You so much for this exclusive interview. Please tell us a little about Your background. Are You originally from Florida?

GC: Actually, I was born in the rainy city of Seattle. I was, however, raised in FL. My family moved here when I was 3.

sb: Oh yes. i know Seattle well. How Were You introduced to The SM Scene?

GC: I have a nice long story posted about it on my site, so I'll give you the revised version. It started, as so many things do, on the web and instant messages, then in a bar when I met my first submissive. I was under-age and I along with some of my friends got into a bar/nightclub type setting and I guess that's when it really took hold.

We were being mean and making fun of just about everyone when we saw this really ugly guy, and we nicknamed him troll. Actually, I nicknamed him troll. He actually came up to me and kissed my feet and thanked me for putting him in his place. Bizarre, but it took. I played around with it a little and went to a few fetish parties for awhile. Then, when I was 19, I dove head first into in and I got together with Lady Cheyenne and Club Dom.

sb: Please describe Your style of domination?

GC: I think that most of the time I'm pretty laid back. I'm always in control but I rarely have to do anything to get people to do as I say, it just happens naturally. Sometimes I'm strict and sometimes I like to play little pranks. It just depends on how I feel and the vibes I get off of a submissive. I'll give you a little example. I have one sub that likes to come see me on a regular basis, usually I'm pretty formal in session with him, very sensual and strict at the same time. Well, I was in a mood (that happens when people irritate me) and he was misbehaving somewhat, so I made him organize all of my equipment.

He reached for the violet wand, and him being somewhat gullible, I couldn't resist "Don't touch that!" I said with a somewhat scared and exasperated tone, "it'll shock you." He drew back his hand in terror and I just started cracking up, "it's unplugged you fuckin' idiot!" Oh man, what fun. He of course, was relieved and feeling somewhat silly all at the same time. I really like to laugh in sessions, so I always figure out a way to make that happen. It's hard for me to be stone cold serious unless I'm really, seriously angry, or I've got something up my sleeve.

sb: Very cool! Do You also play in Your private life?

GC: I can't say I do. I am always really, really, extremely busy. Domination is a hobby to me. I do it to have fun but, I don't want to party 24/7. I really enjoy it, but it does take a lot of creative energy. Most of the time, I'm at school, or in Ohio, or busy doing something else, so when I get home, all I want to do is veg. out and watch TV or go online.

sb: How long have You worked with Lady Cheyenne?

GC: I would say for about 2 and a half years on and off. She's great, isn't she?

sb: Yes She is pretty wild.:) This might seem like a dumb question because You look so forceful and authoritative to me, but were You ever submissive?

GC: I don't think that this is a dumb question at all. Many Dommes believe that in order to be good, you have to experience things as a sub. However, I'm one of those people who believes that you are who you are. I'm not submissive and I don't think that I could find any pleasure in playing that role.

sb: Yes i certainly didn't think so. i've seen some videos of slaves cleaning Your boots and You sure didn't look submissive at all to me in them. :-) So tell me, are there other Mistresses You admire?

GC: Of course! I think that Lady Cheyenne is excellent, and she really helped me out in the beginning and taught me a lot. I'm also great friends with Lady Constance Z and Ms Lowen. Empress Dominique and Mistress Elizabeth are also two Dommes that I think highly of.

sb: How is the SM scene in Florida?

GC: It's ok. I honestly don't get out much any more. The fetish factory throws a huge party every month which is great, but other than that... I really couldn't say.

sb: What is Your favorite type of session?

GC: I've been getting into fireplay and electric play a lot lately, you know.... new toys. I have two favorites. I love the really sensual sessions, with nothing but candle light and erotic music in the background. Where I'm wearing my thigh high leather boots and my corset with a short tight skirt and whispering into the ear of some helpless submissive who's bound to the cross in my dungeon, and I'm telling him what exactly he's going to endure for my pleasure and amusement. The second type of session that I enjoy is the type of laid back session, where I'm just relaxing and getting my feet worshiped and laughing about something kinda mean that I've just done at the expense of my poor, little subbie.

sb: Yes i imagine any slave would gladly suffer for Your amusement with You dressed in that outfit.:) Please tell us the most intense scene You ever did?

GC: It was awhile ago but I still, to his day remember it. It wasn't intense as far as the activities that I did, but more the electricity that flowed from my fingertips (and I'm not talking violet wands). The whole things was just emotions and great chemistry. I love it when subs show a lot of reaction to what I do, and this particular person was giving great feed back in that respect. All I did was drip wax all over him and whisper in his ear but man, it was just awesome. I really can't convey in words but hopefully everyone will understand what I mean.

sb: Do You enjoy humiliating slaves?

GC: Oh! How could I not? Since I love to laugh so much, I find it great fun to do humiliation sessions.

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

GC: I find that this is more of a fantasy for most people than something they actually want to do. I've had fun with it on the rare occasions when I've done it, but it has to be in the right place at the right time.

sb: Yes i remember You telling me about that slave You humiliated at a strip club. That was too much!:) How about crossdressers? Do You enjoy these type of scenes?

GC: Oh hell yea!

sb: i thought so. :) Do You enjoy foot worship?

GC: I gotta tell you, there is nothing better than relaxing while someone tends to my feet.

sb: And You do have lovely feet. :) Do You like corporal?

GC: Yes, I love cutting loose and just beating someone's ass. Now, I realize that there is more to it than that, but I still just love to just rip into it and cut loose, and I love to do face slapping. There is nothing so empowering as just hauling off and slapping someone across the face.

sb: Are You experienced in bondage and role play?

GC: I'm not going to tell you that I'm the best, I believe that there is always room for improvement and learning something new, but I fancy myself rather good at both. I was the president of my drama club in high school and so I truly enjoy most role plays, and I've been learning some great techniques for rope bondage, every time I tie someone up, I get better.

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

GC: Yes, and even videotaped if he sees me while I'm in Ohio. We're always looking for people who want to be in pictures and videos for Club Dom.

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

GC: This is a difficult one to answer. I think it's pretty much the same as the kinds of people I would normally like and dislike in everyday life. On my page I always say no assholes. I can't stand people and slaves alike who assume that because I'm young, I'm clueless, inexperienced, or immature. I don't like slaves who tell me what to do or how to do it. I usually don't like smart asses, but just like in everyday life, sometimes, it's actually funny and cute. As for what I like in a slave, obedience is good, personality is a must. I also really like slaves that are just all around pleasant people and live to please. I really have a difficult time dealing with people that give no reactions though, no matter how nice they are.

sb: Do You have any personal slaves?

GC: I don't have any personal slaves because I'm hardly ever home.

sb: What is Your favorite type of clothing?

GC: I love my leather thigh high boots (BTW, does anyone know of a good cobbler in the Fort Lauderdale area?) and my leather corset, those are the two mainstays in my wardrobe. Other than that I like to alternate with different fabrics and textures, sometimes pvc or leather, others satin or rubber, it just depends.

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

GC: I love being in total control. Rarely is a person totally in control in their day to day lives (just think of a flat tire for an example) but when I'm in a session, and I'm on, I can do whatever I want to the person that's bound to my cross. It's up to me to be mean or nice.

sb: Do you session with novices?

GC: Yes. I don't think it's right to say that just because someone's not experienced that they can't meet with me. Sure, if they are interested in things that I don't enjoy, I'll tell them to go elsewhere or I'll recommend someone else, but I won't say that I refuse to meet with someone because they are new, you've got to start somewhere.

sb: What is your favorite drink?

GC: Lemonade... where'd that come from? LOL

sb: Oh i just thought i would lighten things up for a minute.:) Perhaps you could share one or two of your other interests?

GC: I'm really big into fine arts and crafts. I always made A's in my art classes in high school and was in the top 3 students who were the best. I went to art college for awhile when I moved to Fort Lauderdale, but the commercial arts weren't my thing. I love doing pencil drawings, sculpting clay, pottery, making candles, making jewelry, and all kinds of stuff like that. I also really enjoy working on my webpage and writing HTML (of all things) but it's rather time consuming and I just don't get around to it as much as I'd like to.

sb: What are Your favorite types of gifts?

GC: You mean aside from money? I like gift certificates to Michael's Arts and Crafts and to places where I can get fetish clothing. I like to be able to pick and choose so just getting something for me like a pair of boots doesn't make me as happy as it might others, I'm always comparing things so I really need to be able to choose for myself. I think one of the most thoughtful gifts that I ever got was a pair of tickets to a WWF event in Fort Lauderdale, I'm a big fan, what can I say?

sb: No kidding! You do remind me a little of Trish Stratus. :) Do You also work with Women and couples?

GC: I certainly do.

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

GC: I can try, things can change from day to day for me. I would say candle light and good music in the background, I'd start off with some artistic rope bondage, then some hot wax and ice play, then move into some fireplay (I love fire play), and then finish off by getting a nice massage after I let them out of the bondage of course. Somewhere in there I throw in a face smack or two and a little bit of heavy corporal.

sb: Sounds like fun.:) If someone gave You 10 million dollars, what would You do with it?

GC: Why? Do you know someone that's giving it away? I would be SOOOO happy. Well, I'd start with the obvious, pay off all the credit card bills, get a nice decent sized house, with everything in it that I could ever want, buy a Hummer and a nice exotic sports car. Make sure that my family had everything that they needed, set up a college/trust fun for my nephews and my niece. Pay for the rest of my schooling costs and relax for about a year before deciding what to do with the 8 mil that's sitting in my moneymarket account.

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

GC: I can only pick one? I have a really long list. I guess I'll have to say a slow driver in the fast lane, or maybe two slow drivers side by side so you can't get by. Man, that pisses me off! Naah, that's not the worst though. Maybe people who are assholes or child or animal abusers, spouse abusers, losers who don't have to be, people that refuse to live up to their potential, I'm still not sure. Perhaps people who aren't grateful for what they have or ones who are selfish and care only about themselves. I'd give food to a homeless man or help someone if I really thought that it would. I don't know. That's too hard of a question.

sb: You are really positively stunning. Have You ever done any modeling?

GC: Aaawe how sweet. Yes, when I was 18 I was a model for all of 6 months with Irene Marie in South Beach. Then my agent went over to Elite and some little asshole was put in charge of the runway division (I think he preferred men if you know what I mean) and that was the end of that. I pretty much said "fuck it" it wasn't meant to be, and I'm really glad that I did because my life is much more full of meaning now and I'm not so worried of what people might think.

sb: What a stupid agency! Do You also offer cyber training?

GC: In the past I've toyed with it but I find that I really just don't have the time to dedicate to it. Maybe after I get out of school I'll give it another go.

sb: Q. Please tell us about Your birthday bash and how a slave can have the honor of attending?

GC: I'll be 22 (a little known fact until now) and since I love the beach and being a Domme, I figured I'd put the two together. It's pretty much going to be a long birthday party for me. Obviously I'll be there, other people that will be attending include Lady Cheyenne, Lady Constance Z, and Ms Lowen, a surprise guest or two may pop up as well.

It's going to be 3 days and two nights in a large Cottage right on Fort. Myers beach. I don't have too many openings because I want to make sure that every one has a really good time. There will be all of the regular activities that there would be at any other BDSM party along with some great fun in the sun and surf. Since we'll be at the beach, I'm sure that I, along with my cohorts, will dream up some twists for the usual beach activities. You can read more about it on my webpage. The tuition is $1500 for the all inclusive 3 day 2 night long event. Send me an e-mail if you'd like to know how to reserve your spot.

sb: Wow! Sounds like a real blast! Goddess Claudia, thank You Very much for this interview. You are truly gorgeous and i am honored to know You.

GC: You are welcome bruce. I do like your work.
