As I've posted in the past by dumb luck I sessioned with two legendary Mistresses over the years who were based in Manhattan: Mistress Belle De Jour, who I met in the early 1970s; and Mistress Ava Taurel, who Belle introduced me to in the mid 1980s. Ava's name as an actress in Mexico during the 1960s, where she was considered that nation's Marilyn Monroe, was Eva Norvind, who was Norwegian. (Wikipedia that name or check out the documentary on her life, "Didn't Do It For Love," for more info.) The other day I was in a nostalgic mood and searched for more info on Mistress Ava and I came up with this link:

While I don't know Spanish the pictures speak for themselves. I met her 20 years later as a mature woman and "Ava Taurel" was stunning. The pics on the link show why she was considered Mexico's "Marilyn."

Enough time has passed that I guess this is okay to tell. Years ago, when I was an active Dom in Rhode Island, a new client came to me. He hadn't sessioned for a long time because something had happened that shook him up. Now, if the same thing had happened to a lot of men, it would have rocked their world. Back in the day, my late husband would have been camping on her doorstep. In any case, my client had a session with Ava Taurel when he was out of town on a business trip. An hour in, she tied him up, found his boarding pass, canceled his return flight and, kept for ...I don't remember, probably until the next day. It totally freaked him out. But...I've got to chuckle. She was certainly a woman who loved her craft. Most ladies would have been charging big bucks for what she did spontaneously and, free of charge. I'm sorry she left us before I had the opportunity to meet her. It probably just would have been in public. ;-)

In the spirit of Mistress Cheyenne's comments I think I can mention my experience with Mistress Ava in some detail. I met her via a recommendation when she worked for Belle. I began doing my "jungle" roleplay back then, and she became the Nordic Blonde Amazon who captured me. She roughed me up, almost like a wrestling scene, it was sensual leg and breast worship, and she walked on my back (a two or three steps) with pointy high heels. By the time she started doing sessions out of her Carnegie Hall Studio Apartments Ava was in complete control and in her element. This was 1986 and she was just about to have a studio of Dominas to recommend. One would have to call from a public phone in the lobby when you got to the building. Every time I sessioned, she'd come down the elevator no matter the weather dressed in a long black leather coat, black high heels, no stockings. Luckily we were always alone. She'd flash me - usually it would be a bikini of some type, push me to wall of the elevator and sensually grab my crotch, whispering what she would do to me.

I never asked for that special treatment, but obviously loved it.

She did intimidate me a couple of times reading from her detailed notes about our previous sessions, what we did, what we said, what I desired. That spooked me a bit... privacy concerns I guess. I didn't know she was an actress and director, but clearly in hindsight, those talents sparkled in sessions.

At the end of my last session with her I was flat on my back looking at her towering over me in a white bikini and high heels. I said, in deep subspace, "You have to be the tallest, bustiest Mistress in New York." She immediately said, in her sexy Norwegian accent, "No, I'm not," and ordered me to get up. She told me about someone named Betty (I won't use the last name), a former nightclub dancer turned domina who was a mature, busty and had punishing legs like tree trunks. And she showed me pictures of an L.A. based domina named Debra who was in town traveling with one of her longtime subs. She was taller than Ava, more athletic, younger and bustier. Ava ordered me to session with both of them. Within a week or two I did. The "adventures" with the other two ladies, especially Debra, is a whole other saga.

That is a crazy story but also totally hot. I think i would have been freaked out too if I had been married and something like that happened. However I am thinking in 2019 time where we all have cell phones and it’s hard to explain being out of touch for that long. Back before cell phones it was a lot easier to be out of touch for longer periods of time, especially when working or traveling.

I think we are probably about the same age. I am envious of your early experiences. I missed out on a lot due to being scared and overly paranoid and not knowing what to do. I remember being dropped off by a friend in NYC many many years ago. (Long long story).
I had a day to myself before flying home and just walked around trying to figure out how to find a Dominatrix or an escort but not knowing how to go about it and I left empty handed so to speak. I still think back on that lost opportunity. It took a few more years before I started to tentatively try to live out my fantasies.
