I first spotted Dante Posh modeling Lip Service fashions on a bar at Kitsch Inn a few years back and Iıve been watching her ever since. From raver to club kid to fashion model and designer, she always had style. Recently she's metamorphosed from casual player, dominating the Spanking Sideshow Circus, to serious BDSM scenester, dominating worthy submissives. Regardless of her milieu, Domina Posh does everything with a dash of style. We sat down to talk about how far she's come -- and how fast! Eros Zine: You've made a rather speedy climb to the top of the NYC fetish scene. Tell us how that happened.
It's funny, I've been in the fetish scene now for a few years. I receive a number of "Wow, you came out of nowhere" from admirers, but they don't know my history with the scene. I've helped out at a number of fetish parties and events, from being a door bitch to displaying my fashion designs (like at the Red Party and the Gormorrah Meet and Greet 2004), to participating as a model for fetish fashion designers for events like The Baroness and Lip Service, to doing demos at private fetish parties and camping events to hosting fetish dungeons at parties to being an usherette for a erotic film festival. I enjoy the events I participate in and attend; I enjoy the people. I respect those who attend and play and allow themselves to fully engross themselves into the theme and the fetish. I just wish that the NYC fetish scene were more play oriented, as it is in Europe. EZ: You've modeled for The Baroness. Are you a latex fetishist?
I went to The Baroness's shop for a fitting for her cocktail hour presentation for TESFest 2004 and I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. During that fitting I was able to try on a number of her designs, and during my time at the shop I was thinking of one thing and one thing only: how soon could I have my very own latex outfit! At the end of the fashion presentation, I made an appointment with The Baroness to discuss what I wanted. A few weeks later, I was the proud owner of my first latex ensemble. I soon purchased another ensemble and so on. Needless to say, I was addicted. I have a nice collection thus far, with belts, stockings, gloves, garters, tops, skirts, dresses, panties, bras, bodysuits, gowns, boots. Thin latex to thick rubber, I have it and I love it. When I travel to Europe, it's a given; I'm shopping for more rubber goodness. As you can tell, I really enjoy my latex. I enjoy lubing myself and slipping the clothing on. I like the sensation that's brought on by the slightest touch. And being shined up mmm. I will say this, my latex fetish is indeed one of the best indulgences I could ever have as an adult.
DP: Vintage uniforms, seamed stockings, undergarments, glasses, gloves, fur coats (both real and faux), boots, shoes, making men blush, and laughing! EZ: You've been traveling a lot lately. What was your impression of the European fetish scene? DP: You know, I adore being my own boss. I can't deny myself vacation time! Besides traveling statewide, I've also traveled to London, Berlin and Toronto over the past year. My main goal for 2005 was to travel more and visit my friends, now that I have more time and opportunity to do so. I decided to also travel for fetish events. It has made my travels a bit more interesting. Going to Europe and participating in the fetish scene there was a breath of much-needed fresh air in this fetishist's body. The people I met at the German Fetish Ball really blew my mind. They were very passionate, serious and sincere about their play, their wardrobe, everything. The attendees weren't just attending an event, they were a part of the event. They provided the fashion show before the designer's creations even hit the runway. People were playing all over the place -- at the bar, on the dance floor, even in the bathroom. I won't divulge exactly what action took place in the bathroom, but I will say I was quite entertained.
DP: The first film I was involved in was somewhat of a nightmare. The talent ended up not showing up, and the sad part about that is the fact that she called up minutes after the agreed call time and stated that she "was on her way." Right. I had to do the whole movie by myself. Now, on one hand, being the ham that I am, I didn't mind it. However, I was quite annoyed to have this thrown on me at the last minute. But, I trudged on because I am a professional. I will note, in the movie, I was able to tear into the director for his incompetence of hiring someone who would be so unprofessional. The second film was of a medical session I conducted in Berlin. Studio Avalon produced the flick and they allowed me to decide what type of film I wanted to make. The studio provided my "patient" co-star and I provided the sarcastic sadist nurse! I enjoy being filmed during actual sessions. They are just so much more real for me, more intimate. You get to see how the submissive is actually reacting to your treatment. You get to see the passion. And, most importantly, you get to see how I am responding to the treatment I'm administering. I'm looking forward to doing more films in the future, especially with groups like Studio Avalon. I'm also looking forward to producing my own films here in the States.
DP: I want to state an obvious fact: I LOVE FASHION! I design costuming, fashion as art, art installations and custom fashions. I also do styling for shoots, including my own. This is a lifetime hobby that has risen to a professional level recently. Among other fabrics and materials that I use in my designs, I work with PVC and vinyl. In my wardrobe, most of my PVC fetish ensembles are original designs by me. I hold pride in this fact, for most of my designs are very edgy and very authentic; they really express the person I am and the style I like. I tend to be really selective in what I purchase when it comes to leather/latex fetish wear. I shy away from wearing off-the-rack items. I attribute this to my desire for uniqueness and the fact that with my body type -- tall, long arms and legs, very slim -- I usually have to have everything custom-made for me. I desire fetish wear that is made just for me, the same feeling I provide to my design clients, that lusty feeling of knowing the item is being made for me and only for me. I have high standards in what I purchase. Thus far, designs by The Baroness, Germany's Body Cult, and LA's Shocking The House really appeal to my desires. EZ: What's in the (near) future for Dante Posh?
In the upcoming, say, five years, I'm hoping to make more movies, model for more designers, travel, to do more designing -- hopefully with a latex designer -- and to do more rocking and rolling! I'm also hoping that I will be on the verge of doing something really big in NY, like opening a club that would cater to the fetish and the underground art scenes. EZ: That all sounds fantastic, Ms. Posh! And our readers can follow your exploits on your web site.
