Perhaps I'm missing something, but ... the man lives on Long Island, and he finds Ohio the most convenient and likely place to find this service? :confused:

Man who stole to pay dominatrix gets real punishment
Tuesday, May 2, 2006; Posted: 6:46 p.m. EDT (22:46 GMT)

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- An executive at a heart disease charitable foundation who embezzled close to a quarter of a million dollars over two years to pay a dominatrix to beat him was sentenced Tuesday to two to six years in prison.

Abraham Alexander, an accounts payable executive at the Manhattan Cardiovascular Research Foundation, admitted to stealing $237,162 and spending most of it on services provided by a Columbus, Ohio-based dominatrix called Lady Sage.

Manhattan prosecutors said Alexander, a Singapore-born citizen of India, had forged or altered checks payable to himself, to two credit card companies and to an online-based dominatrix company called Through the Looking Glass.

Alexander, 45, bought airline tickets for trips between New York and Ohio, paid for car rentals in Ohio and charged purchases at stores called Wicked Naughty Accessories and Leather Creations and at Victoria's Secret, prosecutors said.

In jail since his arrest in November, Alexander pleaded guilty to grand larceny in Manhattan Supreme Court in March.

His wife, who is raising their two daughters in their Long Island home, filed for divorce after Alexander was arrested.

Judge Renee White told Alexander that if he came up with more than half of the $237,162 he stole, she would shorten his prison term to one to three years. He had faced up to 15 years in prison had he been convicted at trial.

Lady Sage's Web site features dozens of photographs of the stern, unsmiling dominatrix carrying a whip. She is seen in some pictures wearing a feathered boa over leather or with a metal-studded thong bikini in high-heeled boots.

She lists her services at $250 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour. An eight-hour session costs $1,500 and 12 hours runs clients $2,000. Lady Sage also commands $1,000 a day in travel expenses if she has to beat a customer on his own turf.
 
Steal a quarter of a million, boys. The sentence is much lighter than the one for stealing a hundred fifty.
 
That life of the dominatrix seems to be pretty darned profitable, and definitely stranger than fiction.

Mistress Ilsa Strix is cousin to one of my very close friends. Ilsa hails from a WASPy, East Coast Mayflower family. When she visits for weddings and holidays and such, her profession remains a mystery with the more conservative members of the family. Ilsa Strix is, of course, not her real name, though if you Google, it is out there.

Mistress Ilsa left her transsexual husband to be with her cross-dresser lover, Larry, who left his wife to be with his Mistress...true love in action, I suppose.

I heartily regret that Ilsa and I never had a chance to meet when she was living in my fair city.

The Mystery of Larry Wachowski

Could the co-creator of The Matrix real life truly be stranger than fiction?
One night in January 2001, Larry Wachowski, co-director of the blockbuster Matrix movies, walked into a dark club in West Hollywood, where the rules of identity easily blurred, just like in his films. The Dungeon served the devoted BDSM -- bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism -- community in Los Angeles. It was a place where power dynamics between two different types of people were regularly played out: eager submissives, or slaves, and the dominatrixes who, for an hour or for a night, took complete charge of their minds and bodies, using ropes, whips, chains, knives and needles. Wachowski fell into the former category. And, friends say, he liked engaging in his pastime while dressed like a woman.

One of the people Wachowski met that night was among L.A.'s highest-profile dominatrixes, a tall, imposing blonde with a traffic-stopping figure who used the nom de kink Ilsa Strix. Inflicting extreme pain seemed to be Strix's specialty: "My greatest accomplishment in some ways," she once said, "[was] putting 333 needles into a single penis." Strix cracked a bullwhip on her slaves like no other. She ran the Dungeon with her handsome and strapping partner Buck Angel, a partial female-to-male transsexual known today in the porn world as "The Dude With a Pussy."

In the weeks following their first encounter, Larry Wachowski returned to the Dungeon to see Mistress Strix. Boundaries fell swiftly, stunning the Los Angeles bondage community, which prides itself on the fact that mistresses keep their submissives at arm's length. The relationship between Larry and Ilsa, both in their thirties, would eventually destroy two marriages and possibly alter the creative course of one of the most influential movie trilogies of the past quarter-century, co-created with his brother, Andy: the original Matrix, released in 1999, and its two inferior sequels, which both hit theaters, six months apart, in 2003. Once hailed as the kings of geek-chic Hollywood, the Wachowski brothers disappeared from the scene, becoming virtual recluses. Both turned down interview requests for this story....

Two years is 24 months, divide that into the total and this Dominatrix was getting about $10,000 a month from this guy.

Geeze. I really am in the wrong business. I'd've whipped his butt for half that price--AND flown out there to do it (round-trip airline tickets to be paid by him, of course, but he'd get the frequent flyer miles).

What is the world coming to? The price of gas goes up to $3+ dollars and now this! Can't anyone get a good bargain any more? Where's Costco's BDSM section?
 
Could you get better press than that? It listed her services and cost, to boot she is now famous. What a great deal for Laga Saga!

No kidding. I bet she's had to make phone-answering and appointment-scheduling a new part of her discipline routine just to keep up.
