Right there, where reality is splitting open to a new dimension, is where my desk sits. I love connecting with women around the world. Sometimes I imagine that when I am 90 and think back on this ride, I will fall to my knees in gratitude.

The other thing I love is the staff here at the Pleasure Palace. They are like the Waltons to me. We are the trampoline for each other's desires. We are tightly woven with each other, flexible and bouncy. Each member is family to me and I love coming to work to see them all.

Fashion! finding the perfect something for someone, eating with my parents, decorating my apartment, anything to do with tea, movies with popcorn, and caring for my cats, Ton Ton and Minou.
