sb: Oh wow, Mistress Natasha, thank You VERY much for this exclusive interview for dickie virgin! i know how busy You are! Please tell us a little about Your background.

MN: I have moved around quite a bit in my life. Originally, I am from Las Vegas, Nevada and raised in Los Angeles, California. Ever since I was a child, however, I wanted to explore and travel. It was this desire to broaden my horizons that took me to Europe, where I spent five years in Italy and France. It was in Paris that I earned my American Bachelor's Degree, and studied one year in the French equivalent of the American Master's Degree at the Sorbonne, also in Paris.

sb: Have You always been so dominant?

MN: Why yes, I have. I can remember early encounters as a teen with boyfriends where I began to explore this side of my personality. I remember one boy in particular that I thoroughly enjoyed humiliating, ordering him to do WHAT I wanted, the WAY I wanted. Our young adventures often culminated with me ordering him to masturbate for me.

sb: Wow that's really amazing! Please describe Your style of Domination?

MN: I have many moods in the dungeon; I am multifaceted. I am soft-spoken, articulate, genuine, passionate and I have been known to be wicked, sadistic, humorous, seductive, clever, sensual, mean, bitchy, and always compassionate.

sb: i know You are very famous. Could You please list some of Your credits here?

MN: I was interviewed for a television program on the Game Show Network called 'Hot Jobs,' where I describe the experience of working as a professional Domme for a Vanilla audience. The program spotlights people who work in unusual vocations. A clip of this can be seen on my site. I have also participated in a documentary slotted for HBO entitled "The Real Deal." This documentary looks at various aspects of sexuality and is planned for release in the coming year.

Additionally, I have done video work with Shadow Lane where I star alongside Mistresses Stephanie Locke, and Kat9. I have enjoyed a great deal of success as a fetish model, working with such photographers as Steve Diet Goedde, Benjamin Hoffman, Dave Naz, and Christine Kessler among others. These collaborations have led to published photos in "Sex, Take a Walk on the Wild Side," a compilation of fetish photos; "The Beauty of Fetish, Volume II," Steve Diet Goedde's most recent photo book; "Panties" Dave Naz's photographic exploration of the fetish; and I have graced the cover of British novel, "Demon's Dare" in a photo by Steve Diet Goedde.

sb: Do You admire other Mistresses in the scene?

MN: One of my mentors in the scene is also a good friend, Mistress Stephanie Locke. Mistress Stephanie has such a grace and elegance about her carriage as a woman and as a Domme. And while I have not yet had the fortune yet to know these illustrious women in the scene, I have long respected contributions to our community made by Mistresses Ilsa Strix and Isabella Sinclaire.

sb: Oh yes i met Mistress Stephanie some years ago at an SM club in N.Y. and have interviewed both Mistress Ilsa and Mistress Isabella and think they are all exquisite! What is Your favorite type of scene?

MN: My favorite scene... hmm... I have a few favorite scenes, depending on my mood. One scene which I always enjoy is a long bondage scenario... One where I can take my time enjoying weaving my intricate web in rope... continually making the bonds tighter and tighter with each addition of rope... causing my slave to go deeper and deeper into submission. Another favorite is heavy corporal scenes, or scenes where I can truly live out my sadistic whims!

A dream scenario would involve some tying down of the slave... a bit of rope bondage, then a brief warm up hand spanking followed by more and more intense strokes with a leather paddle. Then the wooden paddles, then the cane. We both want more, but I take a break on working his rear to have a cigarette...which I inhale deeply then blow the smoke directly into his face, of course. He eagerly volunteers his mouth as an ashtray. I relax for a bit before taking the lit end of my cigarette to tease at his nipples, and burn them. He begs for more, and I happily take up the cane again....

sb: Sounds like fun!:). Please tell me the most intense scene You ever did?

MN: I have had many intense scenes, and it is hard to select one as the most intense. But I think that some of the most intense are when I cause a slave to cry. This one that I am thinking of was with a very heavy masochist. I tied him to the spanking horse and began to hit with wooden paddles. Very hard. Then the cane. He lie there, as I picked up the paces, watching the welts begin to form. I stroked his upper back and he shivered. I then held his hand as he gasped and began the get choked up.

I then continued to hold his hand, while I caned him harder and harder, paddled harder and harder, more and more intensely. The more sadistic I was, the more compassionate I became. He cried more. I knew that in addition to feeling that pain, he needed to shed those tears. When I was done, I tended his wounds and let him put his head in my lap. He wept a bit more. There was a deep emotional release that day, and the two of us formed a bond that touches my heart even now.

sb: Wow that sounds like some scene! Can You tell me the most humiliating thing You ever did to a slave in a session?

MN: I can be verbally vicious. I made someone cry with words alone.

sb: Do You enjoy public humiliation?

MN: I am very particular about humiliation in general. It truly depends on the slave. I personally only enjoy humiliation of any kind when the slave is participating. I have encountered slaves that go blank. In these instances, I do not care for humiliation. But in the instance where we are both exchanging and going with the moment, I find public humiliation quite a joy.

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

MN: Oh how I love my dressers! Crossdressing is such a delight. Whether it is a complete transformation, with clothing, hair wig, make up, or simply just panties... I find that the experience of crossdressing and the ensuing transformation is a hypnotic experience. With each layer that I put on my slave, I feel as though I am taking him down deeper and deeper in to a state of being, a state of submission, an experience of magic.

sb: Do You enjoy watersports?

MN: Yes. Absolutely. Many of my little victims are quite tested by the sheer volume I am able to gift them with... such a pleasure!

sb: Your legs and feet are absolutely exquisite. Do You enjoy foot worship?

MN: Why yes, I most certainly do. I have enjoyed quite a following for my highly arched, delicate feet. I am often visiting foot worship parties in the Los Angeles area, check my website for details and dates. I keep them very well tended with regular pedicures, and toenails painted bright red, always!

sb: Yes Your feet are truly exquisite Mistress! Do You offer financial domination?

MN: Yes.

sb: Do You like heavy corporal?

MN: Yes. Some of my greatest experiences come in the form of releasing my sadistic desires in heavy corporal scenes. I love caning, heavy paddling, whipping and the like. My heart races when I even think about it.

sb: What is Your favorite implement for this?

MN: I do not choose favourites. My mood strikes, and so do I! Sometimes it is with cane, whip, dressage...

sb: Do You take photographs of slaves in sessions?

MN: Yes. Some of those photos can be seen on the Sub-Missions page on my website.

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

MN: The kind of slaves that I like most are honest, kind, loyal, true to themselves, respectful of themselves and others, open to communication, those whose true desire is to serve: those who adore serving me, slaves who are humble and sweet, generous with themselves, thoughtful, those who have self-respect and above all a desire to please me.

The slaves that I like least are whiny, SAMs (I have a flat out disdain for these!), selfish, and self-centered. I have been quite lucky though to not have encountered too many of the latter in my experiences.

sb: What is Your favorite type of clothing?

MN: My favorite types of clothing are corsets and heels. I absolutely adore corsets, in leather, latex, satin, silk... I am a complete fetishist for corsets. I have even trained my waist and at the height of my training I was down to a waist of 18 inches. Now I corset down to a comfortable 20 inches. And high heels... well, I love stilettos, open toed, closed toed, platforms, heeled boots... oh, my heart is racing again!

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

MN: I have a deep passion for the connection that I forge with my slaves. Many of them have been serving me for years. But this connection can (and does!) happen even in a first encounter. The bond is deep, powerful, meaningful. I enjoy reaching an altered state in the dungeon. I become transported away... away from it all. This can happen in a variety of ways, with a variety of implements, or scenes. My greatest happiness comes in that moment in the dungeon when the whole world falls away and I have truly captured my slave. I feel as though I enter a deep recess in his being, pierce it, he lets me in, and gives up to me completely... It is simply magic.

sb: Do you session with novices?

MN: Yes. I have been told that I am excellent with novices. Many slaves come to me for the first time, scared, unsure. I am a very compassionate person and I believe i bring this compassion to my experience with the novice, and I am able to soon put even the most nervous novice at ease.

sb: What is your favorite drink?

MN: Water. My favourite are available only in France: Contrex and Vittel. I also enjoy Fiji and Evian.

sb: Perhaps you could share one or two of your other interests?

MN: I am a painter. I have been painting for over 20 years. I work primarily in acrylics, but a new series that I am working on returns to oils. In the past year I have been in four group shows. This year I am focusing on solo pursuits. I love to paint, I love to be a part of creating. I absolutely love to lose myself in the experience. It is transformative.

sb: Do You have any videos for sale?

MN: My most recent video for Shadow Lane should be available soon. It is the next in a series of "Our Sorority" spanking videos. Additionally, I have another one in the works which will be available soon. Please watch my website for details.

sb: What are Your favorite types of gifts?

MN: Gifts offered with sincerity are my favourite Of course, a lady can never have too many corsets!

sb: Do You attend any public functions?

MN: Absolutely. I am often whirling around the scene. I enjoy play parties. I frequent those in Los Angeles. I have particularly enjoyed those hosted by Mistress Pandora at Wicked Garden. I am also very often at Foot Worship parties in Los Angeles sponsored by footnight.com. I am also often found at my dear friend and mentor, Mistress Stephanie Locke's Stiletto Club also in Los Angeles.

Additionally, I always enjoy the Fetish Ball every year, and have even been featured modelling there from time to time. I try to always post my appearances on my website on my What's New section.

sb: Do You also work with Women and couples?

MN: Yes.

sb: i know You have travelled extensively. What places have You found the most appealing?

MN: I lived in France for four years while getting my American Bachelor's Degree, and then later working and pursuing the French equivalent of the American Master's Degree at the Sorbonne. During that time, I lived in Paris and spent my summers in Italy. I enjoyed much travel throughout France and Italy over those years, with occasional trips to Greece, Portugal, Holland...Prior to those trips, I have quite enjoyed visits to Tahiti. Additionally, I enjoy travelling in the United States.

Of all these places, I think I enjoyed the art and architecture in Paris and the food and relaxed atmosphere in Italy the most. I spent many dreamy summer days on the blue Mediterranean Sea in Southern Italy (near Positano/ Sorrento/Capri).... I have always loved Florence in the North though. The people are so kind and the northern countryside is so lovely.

sb: You are absolutely drop dead gorgeous! Have You ever modelled professionally?

MN: Yes I have. I have mentioned the details of this above. I have been very fortunate to work with some of the top photographers.

sb: Yes they are really good ones! If someone gave You 1 million dollars what would You do with it?

MN: What a great question! I would probably spend a bit of it for fun. Pay off my student loan completely and then invest the remainder, with a diverse portfolio. Depending on the investments, I might reinvest the gains or take a small monthly draw. I have a fantastic financial advisor though, so I believe I would trust his advice as well.

sb: Please tell me about Your facilities?

MN: I am in a lovely studio centrally located in Los Angeles, in Hollywood. We are close to freeways and hotels. The spaces themselves are breathtaking. There are two fully equipped dungeon rooms with bondage tables, padded wall rack, spanking horse, cage, sling, and tons of delectable devices for torture. We also have a medical room and crossdressing salon in the works as well as an office chamber and a domestic scene area.

sb: Mistress Natasha it was really a great privilege to interview You! Please tell prospective slaves how You can be contacted for a session.

MN: My preferred method of initial contact is through e-mail. For those who do not have free access to e-mail I do understand, and my phone number can be found on my website.

sb: Thank You again Mistress Natasha!

MN: Thank you so much for this lovely chance to chat.
