Some of you might already know everything about me and my work from the days of my first website, Mistress Persephone’s Tartarus (1996-2002), or my many appearances in fetish magazines and BDSM videos or my live performances that I have done internationally. A few lucky ones have actually served me in private sessions or maybe even taken me for dinner, drinks and shopping.

For some, this could be the first encounter you have had with me so I will sum it up as best I can.

I am a full-time pro domme and part-time pro fetish model by trade and have been active professionally since 1993. When I first started modeling it was rare for a woman to have tattoos and get work, much less be seen as glamorous! There was no such thing as a “fetish model”- no box to tick on any model portfolio site for that category.

I just fell into it by accident because I happened to be working at a fetish boutique in Fountain Valley, CA. I loved being around the gear and sneaking off into the footwear department and was always getting scolded for leaving my lube and toy counter. The owner’s daughter suggested me to her father who in turn hired me for his Centurian Spartacus bondage catalogue and that was my first paid fetish photo shoot and I went on to do runway shows for fetish companies such as Versatile Fashions, sharing the stage with Dita Von Teese who also came from the same “stock”.

Not long after I decided to become a pro domme after meeting people in the scene and awakening my dominance at private play parties in Orange County, CA. Eventually I moved to NYC and sharpened my skills while working at the dungeons of Arena Blaze by day and hunting for victims to feed the femme fatale in me in the NYC pervy underground clubs at night.

Eventually I was living back and forth between NYC and Hollywood, then Hollywood and London. Now I am taking control of the mid-west and injecting my delicious venom into those brave enough to see me for a live session.

I am a naturally dominant woman and it was natural for me to refine those skills into an art form. Above and beyond all, I am a fetishist; a lover of all things silky, stretchy, lacy or shiny. I adore vintage and contemporary undergarments as long as they appeal to my feminine senses and I am hopelessly addicted to impossibly high heels and wicked boots. Leather sends me into a frenzy and nothing could be more delicious than being laced into one of my corsets and seeing my legs encased in nylons.

I am a collector of hats, lingerie, stockings, gloves and furs; an elegant smoker who delights in teasing with every ounce of my seductive nature. I don’t do this for fashion or mere aesthetics although they certainly play a part in the end result. I do this because it is what I NEED and DESIRE. I don’t give a rat’s ass about being the coolest club kid in the kinkiest new line, I wear what makes me feel powerful, sexy and HORNY! Afterall, my image precedes me and most of the kids in said clubs.

How did someone in the age of practicality develop a taste for the esoteric such as I have? So few women appreciate the true power that a high heel, a seamed stocking or a tight corset can bring. I am not an anti-feminist by insisting that all women should embrace their feminine side but a realist who understands the strength of a woman who hones what she is. I say to hell with practicality!!!

I have had many inspirations but the biggest has come from the Hammer Films of the 1960s, the works of giallo masters like Mario Bava and Dario Argento and fetish artists the likes of John Willie, Allen Jones and Eric Stanton. I love a psychedelic opus like The Prisoner, Danger: Diabolik or Barbarella with their fantastic costuming and art direction because I see more to it than most do.

Early on I was a reader of EC Comics like the Vault of Horror and Tales From the Crypt but the naughty side of me used to peek into the girdle and undergarment sections of my mother’s JC Penney catalog to peep at the nipples peeking through the filmy fabrics.

I was a lover of TV shows like Wonder Woman or the Superfriends where scarce an episode was without someone getting bound by her golden lasso while she donned that incredible pair of boots and tight corset. As I got older, I fell in love with Elvira and would sneak out of bed to watch Elvira’s Movie Macabre and wish I was her! Who can forget Vampirella? A vampiress with all those
powers…and again…the boots!!!!!!

So to make a long story short, I am this way now because I was this way then and always will be.

I was born with a taste for the bizarre and it has been my quest to bring my fantasies to life and in the process attract others of like mind to me and unite in our sweet sickness. It is like a fever that runs through our veins but one that we could not bear to be without. I hope you enjoy your visit through my Underworld.

Yours In Eternal Lust,
Persephone
