I am still feeling a bit nostalgic this week as I enter my 25th year of kinkiness and thought I would share another gallery of “Vintage Mz Suzanne” pics with you. This time we are going back to the early days after the Castle closed it doors, I think around late 1998. (I am not always great with dates – LOL) These were definitely taken not long after Oct 1998 because that was when I lost my mother to cancer and I decided I needed a change and I chopped my hair the shortest it has EVER been.

Anyway, we were very sad that the club had closed also but Lori and I were still having fun with some lovely people who liked paying us to tie, tease and torment them – woohoo! <grin> I was back living with my folks between marriages for a time but Lori had a full basement in quiet little Lindenhurst NY (less than 2 miles from my folks). She also had a bunch of equipment from the club, so next thing I know she had set up a basement dungeon that I could use for a very reasonable rental fee. 🙂 Yay!

Ok if I am being totally truthful – I was not crazy about the color scheme or the sponge paint pattern on the walls, but it had the essentials – a St Andrew’s cross to attach people to, a bondage table and a private entrance. Eventually I managed to get a leather sling set up in one corner with hard points that I trusted to be safe. We did private sessions, a photo shoot or two and even held a few parties every other Saturday night for awhile. The pics below were taken in that dungeon and feature Lori, her very sweet husband Sam and myself.

Lori was absolutely my best friend back in the day. She was funny, kind, generous, fiercely loyal and a lot of fun to play with. Ohh but OMG it used to drive me crazy when she would put a kiss mark on my ass (bottom center pic of the gallery) because I don’t know what freaking lipstick that woman used but IT WOULD NOT COME OFF! Like seriously, I would actually try scrubbing it off with the green scrubbies you use on pans and it would take off a few layers of skin before the lip prints would leave my butt. Another thing I used to love to hate with Lori was – body glitter. That sweet beautiful woman wore it ALL THE TIME and it got on absolutely everything! Including my favorite whip at the time which I was constantly trying to remove. 🙂

We also used to do “fire shows”. Basically she would lightly spray me with rubbing alcohol and then tap it with the violet wand and it would light me on fire and she would “whoosh” it out with caresses as I moved around seductively. LOL We were not professionally choreographed by anyone’s standards but it felt pretty damn sexy at the time and quite a few people told us how hot it was to watch. Arr arr hot get it? (sorry I had to)

We actually even performed our little act at a lesbian bar in Pennsylvania one night and got paid! That was like holy shit – so scary and exciting for me! I don’t remember much about that evening but I do remember upsetting a couple of the patrons who over heard me call Lori “ma” in the bathroom and thought that she was my actual mom, when in fact it was just my nickname for her – like mom and ma’am combined. Hey it made sense and worked for us. 🙂

She used to get a bit annoyed at me sometimes because I really LOVED to dance – like a LOT and sometimes I’d be restless waiting for “showtime” and would dance up a storm and then when it came time to do the show – the alcohol wouldn’t light properly if I was sweaty. Ooops! Dammit! I would get scolded by my Mistress for being a naughty sub but I think it was just frustrating for her and I was sorry but couldn’t help it. 🙁 A little like my concert addiction these days I think – hahaha.

Lady Lori and her hubby moved down south I think in the early 2000’s and we lost touch for a lot of years. Then sadly she passed away a few years ago – cancer. But I will never forget the way that wonderful woman took me under her wing and gave me a safe place to explore my kinky desires and taught me the basics of how to play naughtily with others. Mistress Lady Lori was my first and only Mistress, my mentor, and my dear, dear friend. Did I mention I really miss her? rest in peace my dear friend.

Before I leave Lori’s place I thought I would mention that this is where I met Nelson M. Nelson had relocated to the east coast and approached me for a few sessions at Lori’s which felt pretty special. He and I became very close and went on to live together more or less for about 7 years. 🙂

My next dungeon was at his condo in Mahopac / Shrub Oak and I will have a small sampling of pics from there in the future. Stay tuned.
