Ms. Jennifer LeMonde is the MM domme of the month for July. I recently sat down with Jennifer to chat about her new career as an independent domme.
1. Jennifer, what is being an independent domme like for you?
--Being an independent domme is a lot of work, but its all worth it. I do not have to answer to anyone. I pick and choose who serves me and what they get to do for me. I hold totally different sessions now. They are much more real, intimate, and private. I can connect with my slaves on a different level now.
2. You are one of the most popular and sought after dommes in NYC. Are you busier than ever these days?
--Well, I am happier than ever. Busier? It depends, I answer phone calls all the time, and have to answer emails... and keep up to date with so many different people. I do not do as many sessions as I was because I am so selective now, that I only accept people that are true submissive. Since 100% of the slave's money goes directly into my pocket, I do not need to work nearly as much. I prefer to take a few sessions a week with those that I really enjoy seeing, as opposed to being busy and burning out.
3. You recently did several films with Domme Dietrich. Are you going to do more films or will you continue to session?
--I will certainly continue to take sessions with worthy slaves, but the video thing is really fun also. I enjoyed working with Dietrich; I did a set of videos that progressed over several hours. It was like one long session, as opposed to shooting clip by clip with clothing changes. The slaves got a very intimate, real, experience, and I had total control of the videos I starred in, so both mine and the slave's emotions are captured genuinely on camera. I will definitely be doing it again very soon.
4. You are noted for your love of full toilet play. Is full toilet play still your favorite activity? Tell us about the rush you get shitting on men.
--Full toilet is still my favorite! There is nothing like it. I just have a thing for it, something about using a man's mouth as my toilet then making him eat it is so exhilarating. The power of it plays a part, but it is not just the power because there are other things with the same power-trip that I do not engage in. I love the worship aspect of it more than anything. I feel like a true Goddess... a deviant twisted Goddess, that is.
5. How did you get into full toilet play? Is there any type of play you haven't tried yet that you are curious about?
--I was always into golden showers, in my personal life. I've also been with some really kinky men who were into some pretty nasty things... the dirtier it was the sexier I thought it was. When I first started to have sexual encounters I really loved to make men go down on me on my period or after using the bathroom. Anything that involved others tasting things from my body, has always played a big part in my sexuality. So I think full toilet was a natural progression to something more intense. There is some play that I am curious about in my personal life, things that would not happen in a professional capacity... only with the person I am most intimate with. As far as professionally, I am interested in several types of play that aren't exactly things you tell people about, so I won’t mention them.
6. I've read several of your reviews and interviews from your days as a house domme. Since you went independent what is the most humiliating thing you have done to a guy?
--I would say reject them for sessions on the phone. Haha! After they get denied a session because of their interests they sound more humiliated then when I actually try to humiliate them!
7. Do you find yourself becoming stricter and more dominating with your clients as an independent? Are there things that you find you can suddenly do as an indie that were not allowed in the house setting?
--Hahaha! Yes! Great question! One of the biggest differences is that you are only representing yourself as an independent domme. You do not represent a house and you don't have a sheet of the slaves interests that you have to go by. I do whatever I want, if I feel it’s safe. For example, when menstruating... I just take my tampon out and make the slave suck it. Or when using a slave as an ashtray, sometimes I will just make them chew and swallow the cigarette butts afterwards. And the best part is there is no one to run and tell about it. I haven't had anyone that had a problem with these things afterward; they have all been surprised by how much they liked it.
8. There's always a debate between the benefits of a domme working for a house vs. striking out as an indie. What advice would you give to an aspiring domme? Do you recommend working for a house or the freedom of being an indie?
--Another great question, this would really depend on the person. But the advice that I could give to an aspiring domme is to first ask them what their goals are and what are their reasons for wanting to become a domme. If they seem to just be into it for money, then I would suggest they work in a house because being an indie is a lot of work. On the other hand, the problem with some dommes that never worked in a house is that they never had anyone to stop them from taking things too far with slaves. So both have their benefits, it would really depend on the person. I am actually looking for an apprentice at the moment, a young aspiring domme to bring along with me and help me while I train her. I want the help and I want to help her start on the right foot by teaching her to be self-sufficient in this business.
9. How did you get your start as a domme? If I recall, you worked at Sensual Punishment for a while. Were you a foot model first?
--You've done your research! I started by modeling my feet for different websites, then I met someone who knew John from the Philly Foot Parties, I worked at a few parties and he introduced me to some people in NYC. I started to stray away from playful foot worship because it was really not my scene any longer... and the rest is history.
10. You were definitely the star and host of the first Cat O'Nine party. Did you attend any parties during Fetish Marathon week? Will you be attending the June 22nd Maxville Party? What future events will we find you at?
--At the moment, I am certainly planning on going to the CO9 on June 22nd. That's about as far ahead I have planned. I haven't made it to any parties in a while since I just got back from vacation, so I am looking forward to this upcoming CO9.
