Curious. The poster's site claims the founder started out with
membership in an ancient secret society of BDSMers whose members
include the author of the Story of O, which is based on truth.
Perhaps the world would be a more interesting place if there were more
secret societies of ancient BDSM wisdom and fewer based on the wearing
of funny hats. Apparently the poster is unaware that the the author
of the Story of O, revealed herself in 1994. What a surprise! She
had been the mistress of the publisher, and made the thing up to pique
his interest, a modern Scheherazade but not a member of an ancient
society. Now why do I find myself doubting the rest of the poster's
biography. It's not too late to buy a funny hat.
