Happy 50th birthday to My mother.

I must admit, no one ever taught Me as much about torture as she did. It was she that taught Me of “sheeting”, the Victorian torture used in mental institutions. She is the one that taught me about Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher Masoch. She is the one who taught me of the Marquis de Sade. She even gave Me a custom made spike collar that belonged to her when I had my first professional domination session. She is the one who introduced Me to punk rock music, Diamanda Galas’ music, Nick Cave’s solo career and so much more. She is the epitomy of “cruel to be kind”.
