  1. Are You Over Eighteen? YES NO (( clicking yes would lead to the article, clicking no would send the reader back to the Saints News homepage )) Interview With a Dominatrix By Haley Niamh Connor I've been working a whole lot recently. When I say a whole lot I mean I've slept at the office more than once over the past week. There's been a lot of actual news to report, and Saints is moving house to a bigger and better office. It's grand but draining. I left the office the other morning around five or six. I'm not exactly sure when. Sakana is one of my favorite spots in the city and I saw their bar was open. I decided to stop by and have a drink before heading home to enter hibernation. Behind the bar stood a tall woman with a posh English accent. She was wearing a gold and black blazer with a purple turtleneck underneath. I was enthralled. I have a real propensity for all things "out there" and the outfit caught my eye. She poured my Scotch and we got to talking. Her name was Eva Blackwood. I remarked that I thought I knew her. We'd met before. She had been working the bar at the Amphitheater one evening I'd stopped by to visit. Ever present on FaceBrowser as I am, I brought up the fact that I'd seen a status of her's explaining that she'd be, " re-establishing [her] Dominatrix business in Los Santos". This had me curious. Not in the way a potential customer would be curious, but more so by the prospect of taking a glimpse into a world I've no experience with. I decided to ask her if she'd like to chat for an article. She said yes. Below is my interview with Eva. EB, naturally, stands for Eva Blackwood. HC stands for Haley Connor. _______ HC: So how does a typical "session" go? EB: I typically introduce myself and get the client's full name. This can be used to my advantage later. From there we go into what they would like, boundaries, and no-gos. I will never subject anyone to something they are not comfortable with, ever. A safe-word is installed if necessary, and we select an acceptable play area. From there, I work them into things, I try not to get too vicious with newcomers. HC: You've been at it for a wee bit, far as your post on FB sounded since you're reestablishin'. What're the most common requests? EB: In my time? By far, light bondage elements, flogging and lashings, and asphyxiation. I don't get as many macabre requests as television and movies like to depict. Sure, they are present, but the predominant makeup of my clientele are just people who want something they can't get from others because they're afraid to hurt them- in a controlled, safe environment. HC: : I think that's something that does a disservice to your line of work. Misconceptions. Do you ever face hearing people say your line of work is something it isn't? Stereotyping and all that? EB: Oh, most definitely. By far the worst offenders are people who assume escorts and dommes are the same things. There is a little crossover given the right payment plans and trust between the domme herself and the client, but they are hardly the same thing. I suppose another would be the assumption that all we do is "beat people up", there is a lot more to the profession than one-sided brawls, that kind of thing rarely even enters the picture. HC: So, when did you start? As in... how long have you been at it on a professional level? EB: Professionally? Five-ish years? I eased myself into it in Vice City. That city infected me with its hedonism, not that I wasn't already perverse in nature before I landed there. I lived in Vice for six years and did nothing but Domme for five of them to keep my bills paid. Once I had a clientele built up, I could persist on it alone with regular appointments. HC: I'm not sure I'd call it perversion, but of course I don't know you well enough to make a determination on your character. But what drew you in? Have you done it independently from the get-go? EB: Money and my own desires brought me to it. I saw an unfilled niche. Surprisingly enough, despite being a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah, I could find little in the way of competition in my vein of exclusivity in Vice City. I had done it privately for my partners in the past, so I figured, why not commercialize it? As for agencies, I had none. I liked to set my own appointments. I had an assistant who vetted clients before I met with them but other than that I was on my own. It was nice. HC: I think that's grand. Entrepreneurial. Finding a niche in a field you already know you enjoy and filling it. I think one thing many people think, due to the sexual nature of the business, is that sexual favors are included. Now I'm not asking you to answer that. I can strike this question from the record if you tell me to and my word is my life. But is that true? How does that aspect work, if at all? EB: Oh, of course. Well, I can tell you that they most certainly are included for trusted clients but it is almost always one-sided. I had stated there was a stark difference between Escorts and Dommes; It's an accessory to the job, not the fulfillment of the task itself. I don't let myself be used. I am in control, yes? If you catch my drift. I should re-iterate those kinds of services are only rendered for the right price to the right people. HC: Do you want me to run that answer there in full? EB: Omit what you like. The point of "trusted clients" being there is not always an exchange of money for that kind of service itself. The money does not pass hands for sex, it passes hands for what happens before it, and there is an agreement there. San Andreas has interesting laws on the manner. HC: Money's for the company or in your case the domme experience. Anything after that isn't expected via transaction. EB: That's the idea, mhm. Though, I must add. If someone pays me for something that isn't actually domme work that falls into escort territory without entering the territory of sex, I do my best to provide. I have been hired for companionship, for someone to talk to, for GFE (girlfriend experience). I will do it, but it is not my specialty. I'll slam Sprunks and play video games if someone pays me enough. HC: What would you say to someone who's curious about the experience but is either too embarrassed or too intimidated to try it out? EB: I'd say give it a shot with the right person. Whether that's with a professional or someone they know and love. Far be it for me to monopolize choking, hm? As for intimidation - that's half the point of a Dominatrix, really. It's only natural to be flustered, but many of my first-timers have found themselves to have a pleasant time. We're not all cold words and the crack of whips. At least I'm not. I am genuinely concerned with ensuring those who hire me have a good time. HC: And if someone is interested in giving it a try how can they get in touch to schedule something? EB: They can, in the most easy sense, contact me on FaceBrowser direct messages to work things out at 'Eva Blackwood'. I give out a work cell phone number to those I trust once that has been established. I also accept just walking up to me and asking, but of course, not while I'm at work elsewhere, and with discretion in mind! HC: And as I always ask during these types of interviews: Anything you'd like to add at all? EB: Never be afraid to try something new, because the only way you can find out if you don't like it or not is to just do it. _______ Suffice to say Eva's personality and the openness with which she talked about what she does were both pleasant surprises. I'll admit that before speaking to her I believed the profession was "all cold words and the crack of whips". I thought it was a novelty. Something strange for strange people. Eva certainly changed my view. It's clear she loves what she does and takes the work seriously along with her clients. I won't be purchasing a session for myself. However, I see why people would be curious to experience it. As stated, Eva can be found on FaceBrowser under Eva Blackwood for planning a session. If this is something that interests you, get in touch. As with most anything, it's best to do so with a professional who knows what they're doing. Perhaps you'll find it's something you truly enjoy!

  2. Hales Tales Review: Crucial Fix Vespucci By Haley Niamh Connor Crucial Fix Vespucci, a coffee spot in (you guessed it) Vespucci, has undergone its fair share of management changes and that's a shame because the location is grand, um, at least for me. See, I work out daily at the gym on the beach there and Crucial Fix is so conveniently on the way. As any functioning adult does, I need caffeine to do anything at all. To have a dealer able to hook me up with my Crucial Fix (Get it? That's the name of the shop. I'm so funny.) as I go about my daily routine is convenient. I love convenience. However, my personal emotional investment in this spot's success has little to do with what makes it great. Less about me, more reviewing. Okay. Under new management, Crucial Fix Vespucci is sporting an all-new, gorgeous interior. The environment is chill. It's relaxing. It's nice. This is how a coffee shop should be. In the background ambient music flows from the spot's sound system, adding to the vibe. It's lovely. I ordered a soy latte (insert vegan joke here). It was made quickly and tasted fantastic. The barista knew what he was doing and was very pleasant. Co-owner Felipe Hernandez approached me personally as I sat tapping away at my MacBook just to see if everything was good. He did this with every customer in the shop. Little things like that go a long way. There's not much else to say about a great coffee shop. It's solid. The coffee is good and they have some food on the menu too. Hernandez recommended folks try the chocolate eclair, saying they use an authentic French recipe and ingredients to make it. All in all, the spot gets a solid recommendation from me. Check them out when they're open. As always, this review was not bought and paid for.

  3. Hales Tales Review: Club Royale By Haley Niamh Connor My sneak peek at Club Royale yesterday had me gushing before the venue's doors even opened. If you've read this column for a while, you know I'm big on uniqueness when it comes to nightclubs. A bar is a bar, by and large. Variety is good in that sector, but people aren't going there for a spectacle. Clubs are different. People very much are going there for the spectacle. To say the aesthetic of Club Royale delivered on this would be an understatement. The pictures I took during my sneak peek do the spot no justice compared to when it's 'operational'. Have a look at the first thing you see when you walk in: I can't get over the entry corridor and its blue lighting that shimmers off the water flowing under the glass of the walkway. The atmosphere is unique and engaging from the moment you enter. Once you hit the main area of the club, the narrow corridor gives way to a wide-open space that I'd venture to say offers a wee bit for everyone. There's comfortable and ample seating surrounding the dancefloor. The floor itself is fantastic, complemented by fantastic lighting sprawled from over the DJ booth along the ceiling of the club. The bar is large and boasts a square-concept that makes it easy to grab a drink and get back to your friends regardless of where in the venue you came from. It's fantastic, to say the least. Whoever handled the design of this spot should be commended because for my money, its the best looking venue in LS. The service was grand as well. The bar was manned by two tenders who worked their way through patrons at a steady rate without being robotic. The one thing I must touch on is the obvious synergy between all the club's staff. Everyone from the bartenders to security, to the manager Gene Connor (no relation) seemed to be in constant and effective communication. When I arrived at the door, security already knew I was expected. I asked Gene if I could go to VIP to take some pictures and in the fifteen seconds it took me to walk from him to the VIP entrance the security guard already knew to let me up. These are little things, of course. But they're indicative of something I've seen a lot of venues - be they bars or clubs - lack, which is a unified and streamlined flow of communication between staff. This makes the entire operation run more smoothly. Everyone seemed to be on the same page, and it was nice to see that level of professionalism. Upon my arrival around 11:15 pm, an hour and fifteen minutes into the club's opening, there was a decent-sized crowd but most were gathered around the bar. DJ aOi took care of this in tandem with the bar-staff by urging the patrons to the floor. It was effective. Within a few minutes, nearly everyone in the club was dancing and all seemed to be having a great time. Those who didn't feel like dancing were lounging in the venue's stylish and comfortable seating areas. The vibes were there, and they were good. I was going to harp on the $500 entry fee. Entry fees across the bar sector seem to be going down, and the club sector has been relatively quiet lately so a $500 price tag for the experience was a bit jarring to me at first. However, I'd say it was solidly worth the cash I doled out. And with the Garden just today announcing a $1,000 entry fee for their grand opening on Saturday, I suppose it'd be silly to complain even if it wasn't worth the price of admission. There's nothing I can really meaningfully critique about Royale without nitpicking. The open concept of the spot did leave it feeling a bit sparsely populated at times, but this can be looked at as a strength as much as a weakness. Those who wished to let loose, dance, and meet new people had the opportunity to do so at the bar and on the floor. Those who simply wanted to enjoy the atmosphere amongst their own group and socialize had the opportunity to do so in the seating areas. As I stated at the beginning of this review, Royale has a bit to offer anyone who may be interested in checking it out. All of that being said, I give Club Royale a very solid recommendation. From the aesthetic that ties it all together, to the small details like the professional and friendly staff, the venue had an opening night I do not see all to commonly. If I had entered, this being my first night in LS, I would not have assumed this was the first time Club Royale had opened its doors. If you want a fun time in a unique nightclub environment, check out Club Royale the next time they're open. You won't be disappointed. As always, this review was not bought and paid for.
