The Dialogue
I was asked by a friend once if Dominatrix's were real or just seen in the movies. Well Kelly is real and authentic and delightful. In fact so lovely that I consider her now a friend. She has perfected an art form, in latex and thigh high boots with a whip and a few other tools of the trade. Some would call her a therapist, some a master... but everyone that visits her professionally is considered a slave.
