The Dominatrix女支配者 — a dominant woman - Part II

Screen 8 of 8

The very first American house of domination was founded in the 1960’s when a woman from Holland by the name of Monique van Cleef moved to Newark, New Jersey and started up her “House of Pain”. Monique van Cleef was a nurse who learned the trade of being a Dominatrix女支配者 — a dominant woman over in Holland. In 1967, her establishment was raided by the Newark authorities, seizing her client list and what the newspapers described as “hundreds of implements of discipline”.

Monique’s client list was purported to include 10,000 names, including screen and stage actors, politicians, and professional athletes. Ironically, the newspaper had Monique pose for a picture to run with the story of the raid. The picture featured her in black leather and wicked looking boots. This only excited more and more men who read the paper but had no idea her establishment existed. This caused her clientele to become bigger than ever. She won her case on appeal but not before the authorities closed Monique’s “House of Pain” and deported her back to Holland. Some of her more affluent clients made regular trips to Holland to visit her. That just goes to show the power of Female Domination.
