THE BRIEF AND SUCCINCT
LA DOMAINE NEWSLETTER
APRIL 2025
It is crazy busy here this week, yet I must get this Newsletter done. That means this Newsletter will be as brief and succinct as possible.
April 25/26
THE JUBILEE NIGHT OF THE QUEENS WEEKEND PLANS
This is the event being presented at La Domaine by international promoter Laurent Lebeau. It is a strictly Fem Domme weekend. Saturday is the main night. Friday is a more intimate evening, previously only open to the Jubilee Guests staying at La Domaine, and Laurent’s Dominas. However, we (Laurent and moi) have decided to open the Friday soiree to La Domaine’s Fem Domme couples and select slaves. If you would like to attend, please get in touch with me asap and I will fill you in on the tribute, times, available Dominas and all the et ceteras. 518 375 3387, 10 – 7 est, m – f.
THE LA DOMAINE 2025 COUPLES SEASON
BEGINS WITH
THE RETURN OF…
THE GREAT ISABELLA SINCLAIRE!
PARTY: MAY 17 8 PM WORKSHOP: 3 PM
SUNDAY BRUNCH AT RAIN RESTAURANT MAY 18 11 AM
For twenty years, Isabella has been considered the best professional Domina. Because this is the brief and succinct Newsletter, I will only add: Isabella opened our party season last year, we were all dazzled by her skills and touched by her persona and her humility. We are thrilled that she is opening this year’s party season. Check these out: you’ll never see a better nutcracker. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7aPC/wonderful-pistachios-dominatrix and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHXM2ESurJ4&ab_channel=RickJBurton
This party is already halfway to fully reserved. If you want to attend, I highly recommend you get in touch soon. Tributes are the same as last year’s tribute: $125 a couple, $350 an individual, $750 for the Party Plum position. (That’s the come and serve as a La Domaine house slave for the party. Tribute includes the overnight stay and it’s the best deal in professional BDSM!)

THIS IS IMPORTANT!
There is a new print magazine attempting to succeed.
THIRTY-THREE ONE-ELEVEN
Disclaimer: I’m working with them. I miss kinky magazines you can actually hold in your hands. They have one issue out already and it is terrific. They did an interview with me for the first issue and I think it is the best print interview with me I’ve seen in my thirty plus years. The rest of the issue has articles from a superb selection of contributions. The articles were all worth reading. They are continuing to put together a remarkable group of contributors, including La D family great Robert Dante. (Our October Guest Master!)
For issues number two, I offered to do an interview with Isabella, who graciously agreed. When I started the process, I realized the result would be far more fascinating if I said to La Domaine family members: “Send me one question you would like to ask the greatest Dominatrix working today.” I got 30 + questions. That is now the make-up of the interview. I am anticipating a remarkable result.
Here’s where you all come in: I got this from the editors this week. It is a call for support. Please consider what follows and if you can, purchase an issue or better yet, subscribe.
“R, We are wondering if any of the people who submitted questions for Isabella are interested in ordering a copy of the magazine. Single issues are $25 or 4-issue subscriptions are $50. Please let us know so we can accommodate your peoples’ needs in the quantity we order to print!
Sincerely, Commander Starlight and Madame Glacier”
These people deserve our support. Whether you contributed to the Isabella Sinclaire interview or not, I urge you to get a copy. Copies of issue one are still available as well; get one and most likely you will then subscribe! Reach out to them at thirtythreeoneeleven@gmail.com
Solidarity! Support!

LA DOMAINE NEWSLETTER
SPRING 2025

THE LA DOMAINE SPRING NEWSLETTER
I’m writing this during one of the last cold nights of winter. I’m sitting by the woodstove, sipping some Chateau Magrez, and thinking about what is going to go into this Newsletter and just how amazing the upcoming year promises to be. I’ll start with a thank you.
THANK YOU, SLAVE BEAUTY, FOR
ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY ANNUAL CHOCOLATE TASTING.
The chocolates were amazing, your lecture was incredibly informative, the party was sizzling hot but…
THE BEST PART WAS YOU! (awe!)
And now – its’s almost 2025 Couples Party time –!!!
We have booked most of our Guest Hosts and they are a FANTASTIC group.
HERE’S THE ALMOST COMPLETED 2025 COUPLES PARTY DATES AND GUEST HOST LIST.
May 17th MISTRESS ISABELLE SINCLAIRE
For more than twenty years Isabella has been considered one of the very best professional Masters in the world. Her accomplishments are amazing; her impact on our society and contemporary BDSM is incalculable.
We were honored and thrilled when Isabella agreed to be our Guest Mistress for May of 2024. Since then, Isabella has become a trusted friend. She was the perfect person to start last year’s party season , and this year – it’s two in a row! What more can I say. This soiree’s guest list is already half booked. If you want to attend, please let me know asap.
JUNE 21ST MASTER AVERY
One of our favorite Masters is back for his third Guest Host experience! On one hand, it’s hard to find a professional Master of any quality. On the other hand, Avery is a Master with oh so many qualities. Nationally recognized for his work with both (all?) genders, Master Avery is a walking erotican. (Yes – I just made that word up, but it suits him perfectly.) Master Avery is one of our most frequently requested Guest Hosts. If you’ve been to an Avery soiree, you know why that is.
MISTRESS TISSA SEPTEMBER 20TH
Next up, a first time Guest Mistress, and one of the best there is. Philadelphia’s finest, Mistress Tissa, will be bringing her wonderful talents and intellect to La Domaine on September 20th. We love when individualistically Pagan, Wise Woman Dominas come through our doors. Mistress Tissa truly fits in that parameter. In the past decade she has built a solid reputation based on her BDSM involvement; a constant involvement reflected in the power of her sessions work and her community impact. Her insight into the BDSM psyche, and its connection to everything the spirit has to offer, from food, to sex, to the earth itself, has us all looking forward to what promises to be a remarkable visit. Her wisdom and intellect will be in full bloom in her afternoon workshop: “the psychology of power, position and fetishism. .” This is a workshop for everyone of all skill and experience levels.
ROBERT DANTE OCTOBER 18
YES!!! We thought we had lost him forever due to old age, blindness and human frailty, but you just can’t keep a great whipmaster down. I am thrilled to announce Robert Dante is with us all again!!!!
Robert Dante is THE Master of the fine art of bull-whippery. His ability is remarkable. He is even in The Guiness Book of World Records for his speed and accuracy in target whipping. Those of us who have been fortunate to see his skill level have memories of greatness that will last forever. (When you call to reserve – ask me about the mosquitoes.)
Robert will be doing a how to workshop in the afternoon. His teaching ability is as impressive as his whippery. If you’ve never thrown a whip, he will more than get you going. If you are a skilled whipper, he will add polish. If you cannot attend the party/workshop, then be sure to read his instruction book: “Let’s Get Cracking.”
WELCOME BACK TO THE LIVING ROBERT DANTE!
NOVEMBER 15TH MISTRESS CRIMSON
Mistress Crimson is one of NYC’s superb “Old School” Pro-Dommes. Crimson has been enormously influential in the development of La Domaine since its inception in 1993. She is also one of La Domaine’s most frequent Guest Mistresses. I have lost count of how many times we have had the honor of hosting Mistress Crimson, but I am certain it is more than a dozen – that is how much we love and appreciate her. This will be THE party of the year for all levels of play, interests and fetishes. If you want to meet one of the legends – this is your chance.
THE 2025 COUPLE PARTY SEASON already has five of BDSM greats coming to Guest Host, and I have yet to fill in July and August. Party tributes are the same as last year: $125 a couple, $350 an individual, $750 for the “Party Plum” position.
REMEMBER: in the words of the greatest of all times Dominatrix Belle Du Jour: “When La Domaine has a Couple Party, it is the hottest place on earth.”

THIRTY-THREE ONE-ELEVEN UPDATE
Issue one is out and available. If you have missed holding a magazine in your hands, as opposed to staring at a computer screen, you will want to subscribe. I just received my copy. I love it – and not just because it has a lengthy interview with this Master R guy. It is crammed with excellent articles, advice, a national dungeon directory, sexy photos, humor, and how to information. About the interview: in all modesty – I have had lots of interviews done over the years – but none better than this one. We spoke for about an hour and their editing of our conversation, and shaping it into the interview in the magazine, is … Masterful.
This endeavor deserves your support. Kudos to editors Commander Starlight and Madame Glacier. To get your 96 pages of delight and insight, contact: thirtythreeoneleven@gmail.com or call 480 666 2994

LA DOMAINE NEWSLETTER
JANUARY 2025
Happy Newsletter!
Jan 2025.
IMPORTANT DATE CHANGE
THE CHOCOLATE TASTING AND AFTER-PARTY IS NOW FEB. 22 nd
TASTING FROM 2 – 5. DUNGEON PARTY FROM 8 – ?
Unfortunately, our plans to do the Valentine’s week Chocolate Tasting on Feb 15th didn’t work out. Our Chocolustier, slave beauty, had to request the re-schedule. Those of you who have told me you are coming, oh, I mean attending, will now need to reconfirm reconfirm.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with our Valentine’s Week Annual Chocolate Tasting, here’s the details. Slave beauty is a renown desert chef and Master of all things chocolate. For the past several years, she has done her remarkable CHOCOLATE LECTURE AND TASTING here at La Domaine. She begins with a slide lecture presentation on how the magic beans are grown, harvested, cured, processed and turned into the world’s best chocolate. Then, slave beauty guides us through the tasting of some of those world’s best and often often gold medal winners. We explore flavors, textures, tempering and just about everything else that is happening in our mouths. It’s quite a remarkable learning experience. Last year’s selection ranged from Massachusetts to Peru, to Madagascar, to Denmark, to Tanzania and other countries. The range of flavors and textures etc is always absolutely amazing. Those of us who have been attending for years have even reached a point where we can compare yearly vintages of the world’s best chocolates! After the tasting is concluded, one very lucky slave gets all the left-over bits and pieces strategically placed on their body, and – do I really need to tell you the rest? Let’s just say:” Yes Dorothy, chocolate really is anaphrodisiac.”
After the afternoon revelry, we take a dinner break, and then guests return to La Domaine for the party at eight in the dungeon. This always seem to be one of the sexiest parties of the year and that is probably because: “Yes Dorothy, chocolate really is an aphrodisiac.”
Tributes for this extravaganza: Tasting $75 an individual, $125 couple. Party $300 an individual, $125 a couple,. Tasting and party $350 an individual, $200 a couple. (Individuals at La D parties get a lot of our attention, – no wall flowers allowed, unless of course the individual is a voyeur!)
Like all our food events in the dungeon, attendance is very limited. To be sure you are on the list, everyone now needs to get in touch with me, even if you have already given a verbal commitment or said you would like to attend. Best way to reserve is to call: 518 375 3387, 10 – 7 est, m – f.
A VERY SPECIAL WEEKEND-LONG FEM DOM EVENT
JUBILEE: NIGHT OF THE QUEENS!!!
APRIL 25, 26
Night of the Queens is a traveling series of revered underground, international weekends, dedicated to Femocracy. They are presented around the world. This year, in addition to Night of the Queens events in Dubai, Tokyo, Manilla, Bangkok, Paris and Granada, a very special, attendance extremely limited, first of its kind, Night of the Queens Jubilee, will be held right here in upstate NY, (the kink capitol of the world Ha!), at La Domaine.
Lady Monique de Nemours.
This is a very special honor for us. The event will be hosted by the internationally renowned, Spanish Dominatrix Lady Monique de Nemours. She will be joined by several other Domina of international stature. The weekend is open to couples and individuals. Friday there will be both a dinner and a play party. Friday night’s soiree will be intimate, limited to Lady Monique and her traveling fellow presenters, the Guest Dominas, open only to people who are staying at La Domaine and the La D Mistresses, Masters and slaves (We are renting out all the bedrooms for this weekend.) Saturday is open to all who book to attend. To know more, and to book your reservations for the event, go to this link. https://www.nightsofthequeens.com/the-jubilee-of-the-queens-new-york-state.
IMPORTANT: If you wish to stay at La Domaine for the weekend, the La D guest rooms must be booked separately, directly through La D. (518 375 3387, 10 – 7 est, m – f. Best do this asap, one of the rooms is already reserved.)
WE WELCOME A NEW PRINT MAGAZINE!
“THIRTY-THREE ONE-ELEVEN”
YES!!! A new magazine that you can actually hold in your hands and read. When I heard of this venture, I contacted the publishers, Commander Starlight and Madame Glacier, and asked what I could do to help. I really miss print! I suggested putting an introductory paragraph into the La D Newsletter. Here are some highlights from their reply.
Thirty-Three One-Eleven (The Crossroads of Spirituality and Sexuality) is a new mini-magazine, exclusively in print, by and for the BDSM and Kink community. This publication is dedicated to our culture, our values, and our erotica. You can expect 96 pages of kinky art, writings, subject matter content, our exclusive BDSM comic, dungeon directory, funnies, and helpful ads all focused on our subculture! Best of all, the first full issue is yet to be printed, which means you can start collecting this amazing publication from the beginning. Annual subscriptions are just $50.
The first issue will feature an interview with Master R. We are very excited to share our publication with you and ask each of you who read this to consider submitting content. We seek to be the voice of dungeon culture in the US, and we can’t share all those perspectives without your help. If you have BDSM/Kink focused art, erotic literature, topic writings, please send them to us!
Additionally, if you have a subject-related business that would like to advertise with us, we welcome you! We are keeping our advertising space limited, but we want readers to find what is available in the world of BDSM, and we want to be a venue for hard-to-promote services that are specific to our culture. It’s easy to connect with us for subscriptions, submissions, or advertising: thirtythreeoneeleven@gmail.com – (480) 666-2994. We look forward to being of service to the entire community!
I’d like to see the La D community help turn their incredibly ambitious and difficult goals into a success-filled magazine. I plan to do some interviews of BDSM persons for them in future issues. I hope our La D writers, artists, perverts, and philosophers both subscribe and contribute. Best of luck Commander Starlight and Madame Glacier!
OUR AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THIS ISSUE
JONATHAN_NYC!
“Jonathan Jonathan, what’s all the commotion.”
I am enthralled by Jonathan’s art. He considers himself an amateur. I think he is far beyond that category and well into the arena belonging to great artists. Among his many styles and subjects, Jonathan likes to take his camera and go for two-hour walks through the streets of NYC.
In this Newsletter, I thought I’d just present some of those images, and then present some of the erotic work and the nature studies in our next Newsletter. Jonathan likes to caption his pictures with thought-provoking commentary, which I have, for the most part, included. I’m not going into my own usual artistic descriptors, but I do want to comment on how effectively Jonathan uses color enhancement.
“Mm, L.A Proved too much for the man (Too much for the man, he couldn’t make it) So he’s leavin’ the life He’s come to know, ooh (He said he’s goin’) He said he’s goin’ back to find (Goin’ back to find) Ooh, ooh, ooh, what’s left of his world The world he left behind not so long ago /// He’s leavin’ (Leavin’) On that midnight train to Georgia (Leavin’ on that midnight train) Mm, yes Said he’s goin’ back (Goin’ back to find) To a simpler place and time (Whenever he takes that ride) Oh, yes, he is (Guess who’s gonna be right by his side) And I’ll be with him (I know you will) On that midnight train to Georgia (Leavin’ on that midnight train to Georgia) Yeah (Woo, woo).”
“The Riverside Drive Viaduct, built in 1900 by New York City, is a viaduct constructed to connect an important system of drives in Upper Manhattan by creating a high-level boulevard extension of Riverside Drive over the barrier of Manhattanville Valley to the former Boulevard Lafayette in Washington Heights. /// The elevated steel highway of the viaduct extends above 12th Avenue from approximately 127th Street to 135th Street and is shouldered by masonry approaches. The viaduct proper was made of open hearth medium steel, comprising twenty-six spans, or bays, whose hypnotic repetition is much appreciated from underneath at street level. The south and north approaches are of rock-faced Mohawk Valley limestone with Maine granite trimmings, the face work being of coursed ashlar. The girders over Manhattan Street (now 125th Street) were the largest ever built at the time. The broad plaza effect of the south approach was designed to impart deliberate grandeur to the natural terminus of much of Riverside Drive’s traffic as well as to give full advantage to the vista overlooking the Hudson River and New Jersey Palisades to the west.”
I generally prefer au natural, but Jonathan makes me wonder what the great Renaissance colorist masters, who ground and mixed their own pigments, would have done with our modern resources. Like those masters before him, Jonathan mixes his pigments with true brilliance.
“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.”
Enjoy this photographic walk through NYC, You can look forward to seeing more of Jonathan’s remarkable “amateur” work in the next Newsletter.
R’s comment: I think this is a perfect capture of stasis and motion.
Two from Harlem.
And one more.
