November 21-27, 2011
Thanks to everyone who wrote about the first issue of FETISHWEEK!
This week’s Feature Stories are very even-handed accounts of the lives of professional dominatrix from two mainstream papers, The Star in South Africa and The Independent in Britain. What I’m mostly surprised about is how the material is presented in a way that is both titillating and fair. I wanted to share the stories with you because they are interesting of course, but they also present the dominatrix and, for the most part their clients, in a sympathetic light. I hope this is a trend that continues.
What do you think? You can leave me a comment below or email me at: dirk@dirkhooper.com
