sb: Thank You VERY much for this interview for dickie virgin Lady Lydia. i have been a fan of Yours for a long time! Please tell us a little about Your background?

LL: I was born in St. Andrews, Scotland. My family moved to the States when I was still small and raised me in Oklahoma. I was raised with a strange mish mash of religions, but mainly Catholicism. I attended college and now am a licensed Psychologist. I currently work with the chronically mentally ill. Thankfully I discovered BDSM when I was younger. My slaves provide an excellent release from stress and valuable service so I can remain focused on more important tasks. I have practiced S&M in my personal life for as long as I can remember. I became a Professional Dominant approximately 12 years ago.

sb: You have a reputation as a strict sadist. Can you tell us how your love of inflicting pain came about?

LL: Actually, I don’t know if I can answer this. As far back as I can remember I have had a desire to see others squirm. Inflicting pain causes a sense of joy, relief, and energy inside me that little else can replicate. I remember practicing hurting people when I was prepubescent. I would pinch, bite, or poke until they became angry and I had to stop or got into trouble. I would try again later. I became sneaky and branched out to other people once I realized I had less chance of getting into trouble by hurting them. My cousin and I used to hide in the closet at our grandparents house to bite each other. We would bite until we were in tears. As I came into my sexuality, I realized I was quite different from my friends. While they were fantasizing about kissing, I was fantasizing about sticking straight pins into people I liked. Thankfully, I found a way to do what I want, met people who have similar interests, and make a good living.

sb: Your dungeon is world renowned. Please tell us a few out of the ordinary scenes You have performed there.

LL: My favorite scenes involve severe torture. I did a caning recently that had blood running down the back of my victims legs in long rivulets. Very attractive, but took 2 hours to scrub the blood off the floor and walls. Another scene that comes to mind is a birthday scene for a sub who turned 30. After attaching her to my St. Andrews cross, I inserted 30 needles in various pre-planned areas on her body and placed hot burning candles in there ends. I lit the candles and the flaming wax dripped all over her. She had some blistering that was fun to play with as well. One last scene I will mention is a painful, but satisfying, deep enema. I put almost a gallon of fluids into a gleeful subject then proceeded to force him to drink a variety of substances while shooting water up his nose. Again, intense, fun, and messy. All parties were thrilled.

sb: Wow!!! Do You enjoy humiliation scenes?

LL: Of course! I gave a sub an enema at the very beginning of a session. He was then forced to hold it for 3 hours. Another I gave a coffee enema and made him ride the bus home with it. He says he made it to his living room without an accident! I forced a sub to clean the filth off my boots after inspecting the progress of the construction at my new dungeon. The sewer line had just been replaced and the clean up was far from over. Force feed a variety of nasty items to subs. I have sent a variety of subs out to purchase items while handcuffed, tied, or otherwise publicly displayed. I have sent a variety of men out into public with ugly dresses that real Women would never be seen in. Of course, the full face of make-up was mandatory. Wasabi in the urethra. Forced a few subs to hold a coin to the wall with their nose during a whipping. When they dropped the coin, the session was ended. They were humiliated that they could not sustain for anywhere near as long as they thought they could or wanted. Some interesting bondage with two subs together in compromising positions. They were left like that until I was satisfied with their performance.

sb: Wow, they are really some humiliating scenes!! Please tell us about Your new Homeless In Seattle program.

LL: Some friends of mine were teasing me about some of my political beliefs (that I will save you from by not going into here). They basically accused me of not doing enough for my community. I thought about it and a friend mentioned a program he had heard about in Europe somewhere. Eureka! I can make a little money, provide a unique service, and give back to the community. The Homeless Program was created! Simply put, someone flies into Seattle, I or a sub of mine picks them up at the airport, they are blind folded, handcuffed, or simply placed in the trunk and taken to my dungeon.

They are dressed appropriately, given some instructions, examined, and then re-blinded and dropped off at a specific area in or around Seattle. They must experience 24 hours of abject vulnerability. They know no one, have no money, and no where to go. I must say that I am giddy thinking about them alone in the world. I find it hard not to hunt them down and spy on their miserable plight. Once the game is complete, I donate 20% of the profits to a local homeless agency.

sb: Sounds like real fun! i know CBT is one of Your specialties. What instruments do You employ in inflicting this?

LL: My favorite CBT is cock bondage with kite string. I started playing with kite string when I was young and find it fits my pervs well. I love predicament cock bondage with my kite string. I also have some nasty, tiny, biting clothespins I get from a craft store that work well of delicate bits. They cause amazing moans and screams when they are removed. I am fond of pumps, cups, needles (of course), humblers, and weights too. Basically, I use whatever is at hand.

sb: Do You offer infantilism training?

LL: I do some age regression and infantilism, but am not set up to do long or completely staged scenes. I do all the basics and enjoy the few clients with this fetish that I get to see. I do have a delightfully naughty burlesque act that is an infantilism piece I perform at local events from time to time.

sb: Are You currently offering distance training?

LL: I do offer written or email distance training. No phone training. I hate phones and only use them for scheduling. I much prefer to see people face to face. I do offer distance chastity key holding services.

sb: Wow a slave would be very lucky to have You hold his key for chastity training! Can a slave really have the honor of starring in one of Your videos and having it publicly posted?

LL: Yes. I have a few slaves up on my site now. All the sets are real and I am only using people who are truly into BDSM. Even the professional models I use are into the lifestyle. I enjoy my work and want to share it with others. I have more videos coming. If anyone is interested, then they should contact me about their limits for public viewing and I will be sure to honor them.

sb: i am sure You will be deluged with requests! Please tell us about Your unique chastity contracts.

LL: I do a negotiation based contract with slaves who wish to be chastised. We can both modify the contract and play the game in a variety of ways. Once locked up the slave is bound by the contract. I will not stray from the contract and any manipulation on the slaves part will result in punishment.

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

LL: I enjoy these scenes only with truly submissive men who understand that becoming a Woman will be impossible for them and that they should be honored to be allowed a glimpse into femininity. If the male believes that becoming a Woman is humiliating or the "lowest he could go", the I refer them out to somewhere else. Women are the Superiors and the cross dressers I see understand this.

sb: That is certainly true! You are one of the most beautiful Women i have ever seen! Do You model professionally?

LL: Yes. I am a model for a number of sites, but some of my favorites are The House of Gord, Devonshire Productions with Simone Devon and Bryan Davis, Nawashibari, Beauty Bound with Midori, Hells Elevator, and Vicious Vixens. For some I am a damsel in different levels of distress while in others my sadistic nature comes out and I get to have my way with another model. I have appeared in Bizarre, Skin Two, Fetish, and a number of other publications.

sb: Do You enjoy watersports?

LL: I enjoy some water sports. I find this to be a great honor to the sub. Being allowed to partake of the fluids of the Mistress is only allowed to those few who have truly pleased me.

sb: they are truly lucky slaves! If someone gave You a million dollars what would You do with it?

LL: Invest in my own commercial space to ensure my dungeon stability. I have a great dungeon space now and a great landlord. However, ownership would guarantee my continued success. I would also love to travel to Tahiti with my two personal slaves.

sb: Is there an active SM Scene in Seattle?

LL: Yes. Seattle is blessed with a wonderful group of Kinky people. We have an annual erotic art show, a multitude of kinky parties and clubs, and The Wet Spot that hosts a number of educational and entertaining events. I regularly host, assist, and participate in local events. I list the major events on my weekly schedule.

sb: Do You enjoy roleplay?

LL: I love to act and get into character. The mean aunt, strict teacher, and sultry boss are three of my favorites.

sb: What is Your favorite whip for inflicting punishment?

LL: What a hard question! They are all such special friends. I would hate to make one jealous so I will tell you about my top five. First, I have a great dog quirt. This is a 2 tongued whip used to train working dogs. I must say that is does a fine job on boys too. Second, is a whip called “Selfish”. She is about 6 feet long hand knotted nylon made by an old fisherman I know. I call her “Selfish” as she is not content with surface pain, but pulls pain completely through the body.

Her sister is the third whip I will mention. “Greedy” is also a nylon whip knotted around a single leather tongue. She laps at the victim providing such control that I can whip her amazingly fast and with great accuracy. The fourth whip is a whip that a friend of mine calls a “Tax Whip”. It is more like a quirt in width of the tongue, but quite effective. Often causes a moment of silence before the moan. Delicious. Lastly, but not least, is the Morgan. 16 strand braided Morgan leather. I can whip gently or cut. Great control, precision, and pain.

sb: Nice names! So You enjoy heavy corporal?

LL: : Yes! I love the deep bruising. The colors that bleed through the flesh. The sweat that pours from the body. The pain the turns to bliss. Heavy pain, corporal or otherwise, is my fantasy.

sb: Please tell us Your future travel plans.

LL: I regularly travel to LA and NYC. I plan to head out to DC in July and would love to get out of the country for a few weeks in the fall. I will attend Fetish Con in August. My availability is always up to date and easy to find on my site.

sb: Do You offer financial domination?

LL: Yes. Gifts, donors, and blackmail are all aspects of financial domination that I enjoy. I have a wonderful sub who enjoys buying footwear. Every Mistress should have a sub like him.

sb: Do You have any personal slaves?

LL: Yes. I currently have three. One is my house slave who does a variety of home based chores and is also a talented metal worker. The second is a part time pain slut. I can take my more aggressive nature out on him in any manner. The third is my dungeon maid. He is responsible for the regular cleaning of costumes, footwear, tools and implements, and general maid duties.

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

LL: The ones I enjoy the most can communicate well. This does not mean they have to be highly experienced in S&M. They can be brand new to fetish and BDSM. If they know how to talk, ask questions, and are willing to listen and accept feedback, then I am most encouraged. Of course, if they like intense pain, then I will forgo the communication for a sturdy ball gag and my canes! The least enjoyed are those who say that Women are Superior, but either do not believe or are just saying so to get a session. If these people (not subs or slaves as they often do not understand those words either) actually get a session with me, then they were lucky once as I will not be seeing them again.

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

LL: I have so many interests. The main are animals. I have a small menagerie. Dogs (Scottie-poo & Cairn), cat (regal black), snake (Columbian Red Tail Boa), tarantula (Mexican bloodleg), toads (fire bellies) and I used to have a yard opossum. The animals are all rescues. I believe that those of us with the ability (financial and emotional) have a responsibility to ensure the quality of life of those creatures that are less fortunate. I also adore the Opera. I am a season member in Seattle and often visit Opera when I travel. I enjoy both full Opera and Operetta. Some of my favorites are Wagner's Rings, Rigoletto, Xerxes, and Lakme.

sb: What are Your favorite types of gifts?

LL: I love gift certificates. I can ensure proper fit and style that way. I also love books on the history of sex work, Asian and European History, and interesting historical figures. I also love literature, poetry, and modern fiction. I enjoy gifts that involve thought. Something that is unique and found specifically for me. New toys and implements are great as well.

sb: Q. Please tell me about Your fantastic facilities in Seattle?

LL: I have a fully equipped dungeon located north of downtown Seattle. I have a wonderful space with two training rooms for religious, fetish, and role play scenarios. I also have a main dungeon area that resembles a warehouse. It has high ceilings, concrete, floor, and a variety of dungeon furnishings. St. Andrew's cross, cage, spanking rack, bondage bench, gynecological table, and more.

sb: Please tell prospective slaves how You can be contacted for a session.

LL: Contact details are on my website. I prefer for a prospective slave to read my site, look over my schedule, and email me in the format I have posted. If the slave is unable to email, then he or she may call me for more information. Anyone coming to Seattle from out of town will need to contact me at least 48 hours in advance so I can make sure I have an appointment available. I despise having to turn travelers away.

sb: Lady Lydia, thank You VERY MUCH for this interview it really was an honor for me! You are extremely beautiful and an absolutely wonderful Domme!

LL: Thank you for your time slave bruce. I know you are busy hunting down all the Mistresses to interview and I am pleased to be on your list.
