I, too, enjoyed being an independent. Even though it wasn't my first choice it worked well. I've been fortunate that whenever I did sessions as a visiting Mistress, the ladies were fabulous to work with. Visits to Irene Boss's Compound were my favorite. I'd walk into a full schedule, all booked by Irene and with clients who had been screened or were already her regulars. I'm not sure if she is still hosting doms but, it was a fabulous experience back then. Only once were things not cool while traveling. It was at a well known dungeon in NYC. Although it was male owned, he was very professional to work with. The receptionist and a few of the ladies, were telling clients who had booked with us that we didn't show and taking our appointments! But, the owner caught wind of it and made it right. Overall, I've found commercial dungeons and other doms great to work with but...yeah...as a practice being independent was nice.
