Strictly Speaking – With Mistress Karen

Catherine Applefeld Olson reviewed “Strictly Speaking With Mistress Karen” in Billboard Magazine (Feb. 21, 1998) and wrote:

“Kudos to the creators of this unusual documentary, which manages to present sadomasochism as a compelling subject without being offensive and educational without trying to conform. The S&M community couldn’t have asked for a better spokeswoman than the delightful Mistress Karen, a 20-something dominatrix who looks like the girl next door. She hosts this journey into the world of whips, chains, and leather with the charisma and poise of a TV news anchor. While it leaves no stone unturned in the areas of bondage, hardware, cyber S&M, fashion, and just about every other aspect of this subculture’s lifestyle, the cleverly filmed tape is about as disturbing as a PG movie.”

“Strictly Speaking” was fortunate to cast screen siren, Monique Parent, as the fetish model throughout the film. Originally released in 1997, this documentary is a historical snap-shot of the S/M culture of Los Angeles . It also features rare clips of vintage bondage. Monique was thrilled to be tied up in an arm binder and also loved trying to walk in 6 inch stilettos and a hopple skirt.  Of course, her dominate side really shined through once she put on the corset and thigh high leather boots.

Mistress Karen is a girl-next-door who happens to have a dark side.
