What was your journey into this world?

I was born to the physical world under desert rain, in between eclipses, but I have always existed in the realm of the elegant and sexual despite coming from a traditional Asian background.
Being brutally honest, I encountered a lot of naysayers along the way whose heads I now step on as building blocks for my life’s work: luxurious, intelligent eroticism – carnality represented by the most visually spectacular and purposeful of experiences.

What is an unexpected pleasure you discovered in your work?

The most unexpected pleasure I have found is that I am doing exactly what I am meant to be doing, and my mind, heart, and wallet get paid in more than full. Sometimes, the noise of everything else can make one doubt this. But I have never been more sure than I am today.

Why do you do what you do?

Because I want to.

What do the first 60 minutes of your day look like?

I do not have a “boot-up” period. I am always on, 24/7. I don’t measure life in days, but in things accomplished.

What should more people know about your work?

What do I do as a sex worker? I inspire men to communicate well, work hard, and earn more because the greatest motivation for becoming the best man they can be and earning the most is paying me and pleasing me. I engineer the most taboo of fantasies for my clients and it’s so real that they can taste it.
I can bring down any alpha to his knees because he trusts me enough to switch off and finally let go for once in his life.
I create love and connection where there was no hope for any. Think about that the next time you consider changing careers to sell feet photos on Onlyfans.

What’s your superpower?

I never stop being on top, as an Alpha Domme.

We love vices. What’s yours? 

The truth – nothing is more hardcore than sobriety. Oh, and shrooms too!

Who are your sensual inspirations?

I should mention certain names who have paved the way for me to more quickly mold my identity in an intentional manner: Araki Nobuyoshi. Most importantly, I can be inspired by anything and anyone I come across… and fall in love with them too, in my own way.
My God-Spouse Shiva, Marianela Nuñez, Jolina Magdangal, Araki Nobuyoshi, Mistress Iris, Cirque du Soleil ZUMANITY, Sin City, Reflective Desire, and all classy and chaotic bitches everywhere

Closing thoughts? Anything else to add?
