The Pleasure Is All Hers:
Sleazegrinder VS. Abigail De'ath
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

“Those in search of girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes will find themselves severely disappointed.”

So begins the journey into the dark world of Mistress Abigail De’ath. An LA based dominatrix specializing in such forbidden pleasures as “strap on play” (gulp!), kicking (again!), and trampling (Holy Christ.), Abigail is a professional pain dealer wrapped in latex and leather, an awesomely evil she-devil who loves to see you bleed.

She also has a sweet side. You will never see it, of course, but it’s true.

Besides beating the shit out of mealy-mouthed corporate raiders with self-esteem issues, Abigail also enjoys spending time with her husband, the infamous blood-fetish rock n’ roll photographer Ward Boult. Ward fuckin’ Boult, a man so over-the-top his first wife was Texas fuckin’ Terri. A man who had the opportunity to shoot stunning glamazon Julie Strain, and opted to cover her in gore and bruises. You can just imagine the wicked shit Ward and Abby come up with, right? She also models, mostly in latex or less, and has acted in a few movies, including “Sensitive New Age Killer”, which sounds terrifying.

We are obviously quite honored and only a little intimidated that the mistress agreed to answer a slew of our dopy questions.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

First of all, thanks for speaking with me. Now, how much to get you in a white dress with blue satin sashes?

A bottle of Jack and a re-run of the Sound of Music.

How many fingers is too many? Also (this isn't really related, but it could be), Guns N' Roses or the Cult?

Raise your fist and yell! I'm greedy...both.

So, congratulations on marrying Ward Boult. Two questions related to that:  How much blood was shed on the wedding night? And, also, if Texas Terri ever came around looking for ex-sex, what would happen?

Thank you, I'm one very lucky woman. Hmmm, bloodshed, no more than usual. Although shortly before Valentines Day, Ward carved his name into My arm with I found rather sweet. Oh look, other questions!

I am guessing that professional pain-givers like yourself are privy to dark worlds unseen by the rest of us, so yes or no, do snuff films exist? Is that what happens to used-up porn stars? And if they do exist, will you direct one?

Oh yes, they exist alright. Used-up porn stars end up marrying well or selling their ass for crack, don't they? I'll direct one if I can be in charge of casting, I can think of several people I'd just LOVE to see in a snuff film! Interested in financing it, Ken?

How do you know I haven’t already?  Speaking of pain, says here you are into intensive trampling sessions. That just doesn't seem right, Abby. Perhaps I am not prime worm-material, but please, explain how a trampling session goes. Will you just jab your heel right through a guy's eyeball, if he wants?

Like everything in the wonderful world of S/M, a trampling session can range from very mild to extreme. Mild would be bare feet, stepping very carefully. Extreme can be anything from an intense tenderizing of flesh with a nice pair of sharp stillettos, to a good ol' fashioned stomping whilst wearing one of My many pairs of big, black boots. Jab My heel through an eyeball?

Good point. What's a good soundtrack for stomping on somebody's head?

Industrial always works for me, I've spent many a happy hour using a hapless slave as a trampoline with Frontline Assembly, Skinny Puppy, Front 242 etc blasting in the background. Antichrist Superstar is also an inspiring favorite.

Speaking of soundtracks, give us a taste of the listening habits of Mistress Abigail.                                            

 I grew up on a healthy diet of glam, as a child I was surrounded by The Sweet, Gary Glitter, T-Rex and of course, growing up in Australia, AC/DC. As a teen the magic of Motley Crue, WASP, KISS, Skid Row, Megadeth, Guns n Roses, Metallica, Faster Pussycat, Pretty Boy Floyd etc entered My life. The aforementioned bands have remained huge favourites. I'm a diehard Manson fan, but, I have gathered rather a mixture of musical tastes over the years...Paradise Lost, Ace Frehley, Fear Factory, Tori Amos, Slipknot, My Ruin, Kate Bush, Soundgarden, Diamanda Galas, Depeche Mode, Mr Bungle, The Dirty Three, Nina Simone, SNOG, Ella Fitzgerald, The Cure, Wednesday 13, PJ Harvey, Tomahawk, Sisters of Mercy, NIN, Shotgun Messiah, The Prodigy, a brilliant British band, Sulpher...the list just goes on and on and on...

What with all the leather and razorblades and stuff, do you and Ward ever just fuck in bed, or is it always…complicated?

It's, well...complicated.

’Nuff said. When's the last time you punched somebody for free?

Not recently enough. My husband has an army of MySpace groupies that would make an OzzFest line up green with envy and I have a filthy, white trash, Irish temper, so I'll keep you posted.

When's the last time you hung around the house in sweatpants, watching VH1?

You'd be more likely to find Me sitting around in a pair of little panties, with My hair in pigtails watching some splatter.

Please, Mistress, tell us about your film, "Sensitive New Age Killer". Is it ABOUT a sensitive new age killer, or about somebody that kills sensitive new agers?

The movie is about an unknown hitman, who wants to gain the notoriety of his childhood hero, hitman, Colin "The Snake" Adder. It's a fabulous film, subtly, yet darkly humourous, with more than a hint of Tarantino. Written and directed by Australia's legendary, Mark Savage. I play a Dominatrix on the set of a dodgy porn movie...who would have thought?

Joan Jett or Lita Ford? And please, if there are details to give, give them. Slowly.

I couldn't possibly choose between two Cherry Bombs, so again, greed prevails...both!

Finally, please fill in the blank. Before there was ROCK, we only had….

There was something before rock?

Perfect.
