First, the article:
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African dominatrix has given up her battle to live in a vicarage, telling the church's congregation they can "shove" the disputed residence, a local newspaper reported Wednesday.
The Pretoria News said Marianne Ellis had been renting the manse, or vicarage, at the Doornkloof Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk near Pretoria for some time when church elders discovered her sideline as a local dominatrix and asked her to move.
Ellis and her husband at first sought to fight the church in court, but Tuesday decided to back down, the newspaper said.
"It is a long story, but basically I am tired of fighting, really tired. They can take their manse back, in fact they can shove it," she told the newspaper.
Ellis, who said she was promised a long lease and option to buy the vicarage, had earlier showed reporters her "torture chamber" at the house but said she never had sex with her clients and was not running a brothel.
Following the dispute with the church, Ellis told the Pretoria News she was temporarily calling a halt to her career.
"But I will crack the whip again after we have moved. Then I will be back with a vengeance," the newspaper quoted her as saying.
OK, now my comments:
1. This doesn't bode well for her first client, methinks. He's gonna get quite a whuppin.
2. My very own first client as a phone sex operator was a real minister, who was calling me from the rectory. He was a regular at the original "Heather's Honeys." He had to stop the call briefly to chase the kids out of his office. Rather startled me, it did.
All things considered, I'm surprised I took a second call....
I think it was pretty classy and professional of the dominatrix not to say "how in the hell do you think I GOT this lease?!?!?!? By spanking the absolute hell out of the good Reverend, that's how!!!"
heheheh I just love people sometimes. :)
