Dominatrix Whipped - Quits House

Marianne Ellis and her husband are leaving the vicarage they had been leasing from a South African church. It seems the church elders were somewhat unhappy with her chosen profession. Ellis is a dominatrix who used part of the vicarage as her - er - playroom. She insists that she only made businessmen dress in women’s clothing and whipped them, she never provided sexual services. Nonetheless, the church was taking her to court to evict her. Tired of the fight, she dropped the matter and told the church elders to shove it.

We here at Blue Crab Boulevard don’t particularly care what floats anyone’s boat. Being whipped while dressing as a woman isn’t an attractive option personally, but hey, live and let live. We are however somewhat mystified at why clients visited Ellis. Bravely wading into the Internet jungle, your intrepid correspondent has retrieved an article from a South African newspaper which features a photo of Ms. Ellis, proudly posing with one of the tools of her trade, a cat-o-nine tails. Incidently, Ms. Ellis goes by the professional name of "The Duchess".

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Ms. Ellis looks somewhat less like a dominatrix and more like your average frumpy housewife. Not that there’s anything wrong with frumpiness. But dressing up to get whipped by someone who looks like your Aunt Sally is even less attractive as an option……

Excuse me, I have to go take a shower.
