Note: This art film is Not Showing at or in anyway connected with The English Mansion As an artist a few year ago, I made a number of short art films. I wanted to elaborate here on one in particular – Old Enough to Bleed, which I think expressed some of my darker leanings. This was not one film but four shorts exploring aspects of womanhood and the female rites of passage – Virgin, Whore, Wife/Mother and Goddess. The section I want to draw attention to is that of Wife.
This film was based on a story/monologue that I had written entitled ‘The Power & the Glory’. It’s about a female serial-killer who dru*s, rap*s and murders her male victims, always in hotels, the bastion of men’s secret love-affairs. She toys with the police who at first cannot believe a woman could kill like this and think it is a homosexual killer.
In the film we witness her picking up a man in a hotel bar taking him back to her room for sex where she dru*s and uses him before rap*ng him with a bottle and castr*ting him. During the assault and murder it becomes apparent she is getting a sexual kick from the murder. The film ends with her smiling and enjoying a post-coital cigarette while touching up her lipstick as her victim bleeds to death. She is empowered and sexually excited, not just by the murders per-se but by the fact that men everywhere who secretly meet women for sex will be afraid. That is her power and that is the glory she basks in.
Still from OETB: Wife
The subject matter may seem horrific but as a woman I felt these are the kind of images we constantly see on television. Except the victims are always women – naked, rap*d murdered. This is in some way a reflection of women’s position in society, with the innate lack of physical strength and with less power we make better victims. I wanted to reverse this to create a character that would make men afraid, make men the victims.
Note: As a woman I enjoyed exploring the powerful fantasy of castr*ting a man, to completely emasculate and de-sexualize him. However, these fantasies are just sex games with no place in reality. I abhor all violence. Art here is being used to explore repressed female anger and comment on the ubiquitous nature of violence against women in our society.
How to Recognize a Mistress based on her Star Sign
or Let this Zodiac
Guide you into Meeting your Perfect Mistress
Part 2 Dommes:
Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces
This guide has been produced by none other than Mistress Stella Interstellar, who has contemplated the constellations and turned over the cards of fate, to reveal all the secrets of a fetish horoscope. So slaves let this guide help you to understand and/or recognise a Mistress based on her star sign and thus give you some secret insights into how to really please her.
The Libran Mistress: These women are not only very attractive but probably the most intelligent sign within the Zodiac with impressive, sharp and analytical minds. Her motto is “I WEIGH up your fate!” With a mind like hers she loves role-plays especially interrogations where she can verbally crush you and school scenes where her fairness allows her to play on your guilt. She could look like a strict schoolmarm, be wearing a designer suit with seemed stockings and high heels or any kind of smart uniform. She is also the mistress most likely to wear glasses. This Mistress will weigh up your misdemeanours carefully – then your fate – before exacting a very appropriate punishment.
The Scorpio Mistress: Well this is an obviously powerful woman with an electric intensity about her person. She exudes her dark sexuality from her hypnotically penetrating gaze that will pierce right into you. Her motto is “I DESIRE your submission!” As one of the most sexual and dominant of the star signs her favourite activity is of course, to fuck her slaves with the huge strap-on that she loves to wear. Slaves may even end up on their knees sucking and worshipping this Mistress’s strap-on cock but they are also at the mercy of her metaphorical balls. She loves the feel of leather against her skin so will be found clad in classic black leather clothes. She also likes to have full access to her most sexual regions – maybe no panties under a tight leather mini skirt or fully exposed in a open leather body harness. As a lover of secrets and mystery she is also wears masks. Always be careful with this woman, as she’ll hypnotise you, tease, taunt and use you and just when you think she’s finished remember she has a very sharp sting in the tail.
The Sagittarian Mistress: This is a classy, sophisticated and powerful woman with a stunning, often athletic and tall build. She has an infectious energy and a magnetic personality. Her motto is “I SEEK your devotion!” As a natural exhibitionist she loves parties or group sessions expecting her slaves to demonstrate their devotion and admiration in public. As an archer she also loves to shoot down her slaves which gives her an obsessive love of needles and piercing. Someone who always stands out in a crowd, she loves shiny materials and elaborate costumes. You can never escape this woman as she will hunt you down, she is not possessive though, so don’t expect long-term commitment. Once you have served your purpose you’ll be left in the dust of her galloping exit.
Mansion Mistresses Sagittarius: Mistress Katerina, Goddess Lexi, Miss Jessica Wood, Mistress Ella Kross & Miss Vivienne L’Amore
The Capricorn Mistress: Capricorns are strong, muscular women but this does not mean they are not feminine, it is just that under the lingerie and tight suit is a stunning body that can literally knock you over. Her motto is “I USE you for my pleasure!” As an earth sigh she enjoys her physical prowess and may enjoy trampling, boxing or wrestling her men. You may think you have a chance but before you realise what’s happened you’ll be on your back seeing stars. She will often dress to blend into the shadows wearing lots of black or a suit in straight situations. She may seem rather unimposing but don’t be mislead – she’s just standing back eyeing up her prey before she strikes. This sturdy, surefooted sign always get her man right where she wants him in the end.
Mansion Mistresses Capricorn: Mistress Dante-Posh, Hunteress, Mistress Vixen, Switch Leia, Lady Natalie Black, Princess Anuska & Domina January
The Aquarian Mistress: This woman may look like an eccentric wild woman or a famous glamorous film star, so she won’t go unnoticed with her distinctly individual, if somewhat strange, style. Her motto is a very definite “I KNOW your secret desires!” Her favourite scene activity is playing with sparks – yes electricity, as it’s so unpredictable just like her. She is open to anything she’s never tried and especially anything strange, bizarre or alternative. She loves to defy public opinion as she hates conformity so could easily go out dressed head to foot in a black PVC cat suit with a spiked collar possibly carrying an 8-foot bull whip. Her love of the alternative means she is likely to be tattooed or pierced (even if you can’t see them). She loves spiky collars, motorcycle leathers, in fact anything bizarre. She is the water bearer and when it pours it’s a torrent so don’t get in her way.
Mansion Mistresses Aquarius: Princess Aurora, Miss Marilyn, DSO, Mistress Ava Black, Miss Savannah Sly, Mistress Clawdia & Mistress Heelena
The Piscean Mistress: These women have deep penetrating beautiful eyes, look into them and you will be gazing into the deep emotional depths that are swelling below her surface. Her motto is “I BELIEVE you are mine!” This woman loves dressing to impress and especially fetish footwear. She can’t close the wardrobe door because of the 6 inch heels and thigh-high boots packed inside. Her favourite activities are of course having them or even her feet worshipped. She may also love to trample you or your delicate genitals beneath them. As for attire, other than her obsession with fetish footwear, she loves shiny or metallic, tight fitting clothes especially dresses and pencil skirts.
Mansion Mistresses Pisces: Cybill Troy, Lady Nina Birch, Mistress Ezada Sinn, Fetish Liza, Goddess Zena, Mistress Miranda, Mistress Jezabel & Mistress Eleise du Lacy

The Taurean Mistress: These Mistress always have the most beautiful faces and are often gorgeously curvy and full of ample charm. Taurean women are born dominant! Control runs through every vein of their bodies. Her motto is “I HAVE complete control of you!” As one of the earth signs she loves material pleasures and luxuries and will probably be found dressed in a very expensive brand new designer rubber outfit. As an earthly control freak she is of course the queen of bondage and suspension. She loves to have you completely trusted up and hanging helplessly.

Her favourite costumes are sexy lingerie, stockings, corsets and anything lacy.

The Cancerian Mistress: This Mistress often looks rather angelic, she can be very tactile and pervades a sensuous sexuality.

The Leo Mistress: Well she’s a glamour puss, a starlet who outshines all those around her. Her motto is “I WILL make you desire me!” Her favourite scene or activity is to be completely worshiped sitting up in her magnificent throne room looking down on her willing subjects or massaged all over whilst being given a long slow bubble bath. She dresses in full cat suits and anything in leopard skin and of course drips in fur. These all certainly signify her playfulness but never forget she is just toying with you and behind that purrr-fect kitten is a tigress with very sharp claws.
Mansion Mistresses Leo: Mistress Courtney, Dominatrix An Li, Maitresse Madeline Marlowe, Domina Alexandra Snow, Mistress Pandora, Empress Victoria & Mistress Akella.
The Virgo Mistress: This Mistress is all woman and will entrance you with her feminine charm. They often have beautiful fine or long flowing hair. Her motto is “I ANALYSE your weaknesses!” She may look sweet but her favourite activities are medical procedures – clad in tight latex gloves in completely hygienic sterile conditions you could easily find her concentrating on lining up all her stitches perfectly across the top of your foreskin! With her critical exacting mind she can be very strict and keen to dish out punishments. This makes her perfect for School scenarios readily administering harsh discipline. Born under the sign of a virgin this woman rarely shows any flesh and can be found covered head to foot in rubber or as a perfectionist always impeccably and smartly dressed perhaps in a crisp virginally white nurses uniform.
Mansion Mistresses Virgo: Mistress Nikki Whiplash, Miss Analisa, Mistress Roug’e & Dominatrix V
For most of us drawn to the BDSM world our motivation is a base, sexually driven one. There is however, occasionally, an unexpected by-product – a slip into the realm of mysticism and spiritual transformation. This is not the goal of sado-masochistic play so it can be a surprising, unnerving and powerful encounter. These experiences should not be confused with ‘subspace’ which is a common altered state for most submissives – part letting go, part lust and part adrenaline high. These are deeper and more powerful transcendental occurrences which are hard to explain as they need to be ‘experienced’ however, I will attempt to try to outline how and when some of the overlaps occur.
Beyond Subspace into the Mystic: Mortification of the Flesh & Pain as the Pathway One of the most direct links between BDSM and reaching an unintended spiritual state is the infliction of pain. Many religions and spiritual philosophies use physical pain as part of a ritualised ordeal, in Christianity the practice of ‘mortification of the flesh’ involves fasting; sleep deprivation; the wearing of uncomfortable clothing; or self-flagellation. The tradition of self-flagellation, usually whipping oneself, is still prevalent around the world in Catholic & Shi’a Islamic communities. (For Christians this act allows them to join Christ in his redemptive suffering.) While Shamans use physical pain to enter a spiritual trance in order to peel away illusion and enter the spirit world.
Pain can be a ‘rite of passage’ as we must deal with our fear of pain, however fear exits in the mind while pain is truly of the body – an unmistakable sensation that puts us in the moment and reminds us we are alive. In BDSM we accept the pain, we don’t fight it, we go into the centre of the pain, we bask in it. We experience the ecstasy (or rapture) of pain. It becomes an acknowledgment that the body is just our vessel and that we exist beyond it.
The implementation of pain can induce a state known in BDSM as ‘subspace’, the ‘high’ or exhilaration a submissive can feel during a scene, induced through sustained intense pain/pleasure. This response is created by our sympathetic nervous system as it produces adrenaline & endorphins, to cope with the experience, this also happens during exercise or extreme sports. This natural physiological and emotion response can be a first step towards a spiritual state.
Mortification of the flesh is not always directly connected with physical pain, it is at act of subduing one’s bodily desires, in Christianity it was the act of ‘putting your sin to death’. BDSM games can indulge in sexual tease’n’denial, cuckolding and enforced chastity; here the ‘subduing of one’s sexual desire’ with denial and suffering paradoxically become deeply sexualised acts.
Our interest in BDSM is driven by our base sexual desires and unconscious primal urges and not intended as a means to enlightenment and transformation – though interestingly it has huge overlaps with religious rituals and these unexpected spiritual revelations and altered states still leave a deep impression.

Michelle Mildenhall: Deviant Latex Art
We just adore these provocative but super fun, latex artworks by UK artist Michelle Mildenhall. She delves into themes of sexuality, fetishism and subversion using her unique rubbery pop-art style. Frequently using iconic images of famous figures, who remain easily recognisable despite the highly-stylized quality of her work; and juxtaposing them into fetishistic settings, often with a large tongue in her cheek. (Hence Vlad as a glamorous ‘Queen’.)
It’s not apparent from these reproductions of her work, shown in this blog – but these artworks are meticulous constructed from sheet latex, they have a rubberised textured 3D quality, even the ‘canvas’ is actually latex.
Beautiful Bea Jay Prints (These are so clever, there are actually no cocks, just negative space.)
Michelle is a rubber lover, “I love the smell, feel and look of latex. It excites me,” says Michelle. “Whenever I slip into it I feel sexy; it gives me a feeling of empowerment. Which I feel is something the characters in my work share — even the gagged and bound ones!”
It was while making a latex outfit for herself she hit on the idea of using latex as a medium for her art. “Visually it’s such a beautiful material it really deserves to be looked at and admired.”
Set of 4 B.D.S.M prints
Michelle’s works are available to purchase and are also available as limited prints; she also welcomes commissions, so if you would like your own look and style immortalised in latex portraiture visit her website for more details. Visit her Website here
