Did you know me in the day? - via Fetlife

Thanks to a comment from my buddy Mako, I realized recently that there may be some older Scene folks who knew me by an early "scene handle" that I used -- and I used a bunch in the day.

Yes, I always liked to keep busy. ;)

Anyway, here goes, a short list of my most famous handles:

Mistress Cleopatra ("Queen of Denial"), ca. 1984-1987, on SOBNET's nyc-based bdsm board, Love-Line! Eeee. Cleo was a crazy bitch, I must admit: I had newbie top disease up the wazoo. What a ride! I was exhilarated but my unbounded sadism broke a lot of hearts. Which, I guess, I'm not entirely unproud of.

The days of the BBS. Who's old enough to remember the on-line world before the Internet? I got my first vision of what technology would bring in 1983, when I was working as a financial analyst at Morgan Stanley and Union Carbide debuted brand new technology: annual reports you could download to your pc (at the time mine was a Compaq "portable," that weighed about 15-20 lbs). In 1984, I read about The Source, and then an SM friend introduced me to SOB-NET (sexually oriented boards-network).

From there...

Mistress Angelique, ca. 1987-1994, on Compuserve as a kinder, gentler sadist, where I founded Variations II/Section 12, the first on-line SM support group, became its mother/goddess figure, published sm fiction in HardBound and other vtg. SM magazines, threw Section 12 parties in ny (thanks to Lenny Waller opening the Vault early for me every time), and began doing peer counseling with people trying to come out as kinky.

Mistress Miranda, ca. 1989 - 199?, feature articles and taped interviews for Stand Corrected spanking magazines. I also accepted clients on a limited basis for very very expensive spankings. :) I told the story on my radio show's episode of "Ask a Dominatrix"

Those were my three most famous incarnations. I was not beyond changing the handle when it suited me, but everyone who knew me knew my real name anyway. I stopped using handles completely when I signed the contract to write Different Loving. But that's another story.....

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL!

I am thoroughly delighting in my hiatus, and getting lots of writing done (yay!), so let's all sing along with Albert King and share some sexy holiday cheer.

Yes, I'm afraid so: festivus in fuckin' toons

I love you I love you I love you -- so I couldn't leave you without coming back from some mega smegma holiday cheer with taste so BAD it'll make you feel good. 

From 6 pm to midnight tonight, non-stop cheesy jokes to make you giggle (or throw things at the screen).  To all my friends, fans, admirers and minions, I truly wish you the very best of everything, and as Santa says....

TONIGHT AT 10 pm,  Mistress Gloria, aka Dr. Gloria Brame, will be coming out to talk, play, and answer any questions you have about female dominance.

want to ASK A DOMINATRIX?  submit a question for tonight's show

via email

on facebook

REMINDER: This will be our last broadcast of 2012.  See you tonight at 10pm or see you in 2013!

 

Do you know this woman?

 

 

Have you seen her toys?

 

 

Yep, it's me, ca. 1998.  I'm older now, of course, so you know what that means.  I HAVE MORE TOYS!

More Shots of Me in the 1990s

 

these photos went up on the original gloriabrame.com back in the early/mid-1990s, which explains why they are impossibly grainy.  Jon Jacobs (co-author of Different Loving) snapped this one of me in latex on his living room couch around 1993-94.

 

 

my friend Julie (who did the make-up for this) lent me her puppy as the perfect pampered pet accessory for the well-heeled dominatrix.

 

 

Will shot this demo of me explaining the humble ball gag.

 

Holding up a spreader bar (with a giddy look on my face, jeez!)...

 

And most happily explaining how much I love fetters.

 

All the black stockings I didn't wear

A true archive dump of  naked ladies (some amateurs) in black stockings  from the 1930s - 1960s. I started retouching a couple but some are just as I found 'em.
