The "Remembering the old days" thread made me think about my first domina, the legendary Mistress Belle de Jour of Manhattan. She was the leading domina in NYC during the 1970s (I met her in... '73 I think) into the 1980s. I found this link with great vintage pics of her.

I posted this before, but when I met her I was a college kid, 20, and she was a worldly and exotic (for this Italian Catholic boy from Brooklyn) late 40s or 50. Most of the pics in the link are from the mid 1980s when she had shows in her dungeon on 3rd Ave around East 17th or 18th Street so she had to be 60 or her early 60s in some pics. (The pics of her with no stockings, less costuming, remind me of her in '73.) I was never on stage with her. Just sessions... and she'd "advise" me on which dominatrix to select at her dungeons when she stopped sessioning, based on what she knew I liked. Enjoy!
