A very sensible arrangement. Just want to mention, as a side thought, that this kind of meeting is not always undesirable. A lot depends on your personal circumstances, how well you can fit in the vanilla life, but there can be times not only when you would want to do that but strive for it. Rare but mot impossible.

I guess I am pretty unobservant when in public. I have never spotted a client, but I have had two spot me and send an email "was that you I saw . . .?"

I did have one guy creep me out at the grocery store. It was not someone I recognized but sure enough when I got home I had an email saying, "I think I just saw you at Publix".

I returned to the scene in the mid-1980s after years being away. While I did try to see Belle De Jour again (by that time her sessions were rare) the first year I was back I began sessioning with Mistress Lissette, a mature, experienced domina who had a play space right next door to the Blue Note Café in the Village. I must have sessioned with her three or four times. My office back then was in the West 20s off of 7th Avenue in Manhattan and at lunch one day I saw this petite, mature, quite busty woman in jeans and a sports jacket walking towards me. She wore no makeup and her long hair was in a ponytail and I must have done a double- or triple-take. She was gorgeous. The first look was, "Wow!" not recognizing her in street clothes. The second and third looks were like, "Wait... That's Mistress Lissette!"

I called her the next day and asked, "Were you on 7th Avenue..." and before I could finish she said, "Yes I was. And I saw you. If you EVER see me again in public DO NOT say HELLO! If you do I will ignore you and NEVER session with you AGAIN!"

Those are words to live by, for subs and dominas, since we all should value each other's privacy.

OMG, There is a blast from the past. I used to rent from Lissette before I had my own space. It was an ENORMOUS place on 27th and I got to rub shoulders with the amazing mistresses Yin and Alana.

Mistress Alana was a cutie.. I've session with her along with Domina Skye on my very first visit to NYC. The session with them was awesome and unforgettable. I will always cherish the moment I had with those two great Mistresses.

Lady Bellatrix, My situation is very similar to your Buckinghamshire living experience. In my town running into current, ex, and protentional subs, is an occupational hazard. I was in a pizzeria the other day, stuffing my mouth with a piece of my favorite pie. The next thing I know, I feel eyes burning a hole through me.

I look over at the next table and there he was, ogling me. Before I could say double cheese with mushrooms, he was on his knees beside me. I acted as if I'd dropped something, bent over, and told him to get back in his seat.

I quickly boxed my pizza and dashed to my ride. To my total lack of
surprise, a rambling, apologetic, self abasing, please allow me to your slave, email arrived in my Domme account within minutes.

To Mistress RoseWoods, THAT is creepy. And unacceptable.

What a total lack of common sense and, manners. He could have picked up your check or, sent you a dessert, if he wanted to acknowledge you but, respect your privacy.

True, Either would have been nice. All he succeeded in doing was ruin my night, and end up on the no fly list.
