I love my job! As a kid, what I wanted to be the most when I grew up was “sexy!” I have now created a life and work environment that allows me to be as creatively sexy as I want to be every single day!

      I started my career in the adult industry in February, 1996. I began as a porn model shooting exclusively Girl/Girl and solo sex content. Shortly after, I was booked for my first bondage shoot with Harmony Concepts with the infamous villain and rope extraordinaire, Jon Woods. After this first bondage shoot was complete, I knew exactly what type of model and performer I wanted to be: Fetish all the way baby!

      I then began fetish modeling like a mad woman! I was double and triple booked with video shoots, photo shoots, and web cams daily. It was awesome. Because I loved what I was doing, and wanted to work as much as possible, I gained popularity quickly. I was young, strong, flexible, and I had what it took to be one of the best bondage models working at that time. And I loved it! My mind/body connection was clear and in tune. This allowed me to somehow gracefully execute some of the most difficult bondage positions and scenarios ever seen. I was photographed by top of the line bondage producers such as Devonshire Productions, Short Fuse Productions, Kink.com, Close Up Concepts, House of Gord, and Gwen Media. I am still very proud of this work today.

      I gained experience fast! I was worried even then that I would not be able to model forever. A few years later I decided I needed to change careers or transition “Jewell Marceau” into a business. In 2000 www.JewellMarceau.com began with the help of Short Fuse Productions and Gwen Media. I began shooting my own video productions! I remember feeling so comfortable doing this. I felt like I knew exactly what needed to be done and how. I loved being creative, organizing scripts, hiring talent, booking locations, dressing the models, and most of all I loved writing checks to pay my crew! I was a good director!

      Now I am a great director! I really enjoyed the new position I created for myself of “being in charge.” Taking charge of my business began to grow and expand for me. I started exploring the genre of Pro Domination. Being so successful at organizing and financing my own full-length feature fetish movies, I felt certain I would exceed in developing my persona as a Dominatrix. I thought it would be a great idea to begin to offer my services to fans who have been watching my movies for years. I wanted to give customers the opportunity to actually meet and play with the fetish model they’ve been fantasizing about all this time! I’ve been tied and tortured by the absolute best as well as the most experienced sadists and riggers around. This enables me to perform as a Dominatrix safely. It has taught me to communicate thoroughly. It also allows me to understand the degree of discomfort and pain a client may be in. Having previously been a bondage model, I understand how the body works and responds to impact, restraints, and sensations in far more accurate detail. Having been in similar predicaments, I understand that communication is vital to safety and satisfaction. I am also aware that specific dialogue can become a mental trigger to my clients. I am able to use dialogue effectively to induce or prevent a particular result for my clients.

      I love meeting fans!! Whether they are new fans or fans from long ago, fans of my work specifically or just fans of the fetish and BDSM genre, I love meeting you all, learning your fantasies and fetishes, and making them come true! The most rewarding part of what I do for a living is having the ability to make a person’s kinky dream actually come to life! This is a hugely gratifying experience for me whether it happens in video, on webcam, in private session, or on the stage. I have a special gift to give you, and it’s gonna make you wet!

Stick around. Let’s get to know each other…….

Are you brave enough to enter Her lair? 
  

I am a **Chicago** and **Saint Louis** based Professional Dominatrix, with over 28 years of lifestyle and professional experience.  
I am blessed to be in a career that allows me wonderfully diverse interaction with a myriad of personalities daily. I have met some wonderful people trying to express themselves.  
In both cities I am equipped with studios to enact fetish scenarios. I also extensively travel, sessioning when I do so.I love the diversity of the submissives in each new area. If you are interested in seeing me in your city, please PM here for tributed session details.  

At this point in my journey ,I seek to engage with those who desire to explore deeper into their submission,soul and psyche. Developing SM scenarios with intense reactions for all involved is what turns me on. Unique, creative and unusual are aspects I seek to bring into my sessions. When you session with me, it will encompass intelligence and eroticism - not simply me wearing a corset and holding a whip. Fun is also part of our encounter as this is called PLAY for a reason. Fetishism is the adult playground we have all searched for.  
Currently,my main focus is on my PROFESSIONAL sessions and community education/activism.

My talents are varied and many. I specialize in corporal,bondage and medical torment. My sessions can range from a playful spanking to a intense psychological mindtrip.I do enjoy a more ritualistic, spiritual session where there is an intense energy exchange between myself and the person I am playing with on an ethical note. Even in my professional play, I expect honest and open communication between myself and the sub. All levels of lifestyle experience are welcome to see me. Novices are encouraged to apply as I am adept at introducing them to our world of wonder. I'm not THAT scary! LOL! Edge players will also not be disappointed as I enjoy my deeper, taboo fetishes.  

Fetishes I particularly enjoy are: medical play, mummification, enemas, spanking, strict mannerism service , foot, shoe and boot worship,bondage,sensory deprivation, orgasm denial/control,feminization,play piercing,heavy corporal,caning,life schedule control,key-holding,chastity and cbt.  

As a national educator and community activist, I seek to assist our community by helping educate where I can. In house BDSM educator for Leather Rose of Chicago for 8 years. Presenter at numerous Kink events including "Kinky Kollege". "Beyond Vanilla" "Sin in the City" "Fetish Flea Market" " "Vicious Valentine" " and more. I have presented internationally and at nationwide boutiques.  

While I enjoy teaching on a wide array of topics, my specialties are CBT, Female dominance, medical play,mummification and needles.

One thing you should know about me is that leather and community are part of my soul : not a game, a hobby or a lifestyle (Styles come and go).

My name is Anastasia Pierce I am a fetish producer, model and a director .

I grew up in rural Switzerland and after graduating from business school I applied for an internship position on the other side of the planet in sunny California. On Thanksgiving day 1995, I moved to the USA with just two suitcases, $700 in my pocket and a brain filled with dreams ready to take on my American dream.

Before I tell you about my fetish journey I want to tell you that I feel that I have been incredibly fortunate to have met the right people in this industry along the way and I feel blessed to have encounter so many unique and talented models and producers that have become and are still to this day my best friends and what I consider my fetish family.

I am not going to lie, there have been bumps along the way and some difficult times but luckily I have been able to adapt, to progress, think outside the box, and reinvent my work several times. By shifting my focus I was able to pursue my career and achieve my dreams and reach personal goals I would have never thought were possible when I first started.

I am so proud to have been able to create my own fetish brand while keeping within my limits and only working with the fetishes that only truly inspired me and which also fitted into my personal interests and lifestyle.

This journey has turned into the most amazing career a person could ever dream off. And it brought me in front of you today and this is truly amazing.

I am so excited that we will all be on the same team working together.

Now let me give you some background about my fetish journey. So you can get to know me better. I am going to start at the beginning but I promise you it won't be too long.

My fetish journey started in 1999. I started doing webcams shows and online chats (which caming in private taught me so much about human sexuality, fetish interests and especially kink)

Not long after I started, I decided to attend an adult convention with one of my new cam friends. She introduced me to a famous photographer named Ken Marcus. Ken worked for Playboy and Penthouse for more than a decade shooting centerfolds.

After the convention we all went to his studio and that day I walked for the first time into a fetish set. My eyes open wide and I asked if I could try the suspension rig that was hanging from the ceiling. Within 10 minutes after walking in that studio, I was tied up, hanging by my ankles upside down naked, struggling and having an amazing time. Giggling away.

Soon after that, I heard of a production company (Gwen Media) who was looking for extras for a fetish movie near me. It didn't pay but I was super interested. When I got on set I was impressed by all the fetish wardrobe everyone was wearing amazing latex. That day I met several very famous dominatrix, and many of the top fetish models and also a super talented crew.

It was a hard day… 100 degrees in the sun in latex and high heels in the dirt but I felt I had found home and I fell in love with fetish movies that day, by being in one. And you know today, I still work with those same people I met 23 years ago!

After that I realized I was hooked and understood that this was what I was meant to do. I quit my corporate job in January 2000. And I have been independent since that.

I got my first jobs by contacting all the fetish companies and producers I could find that were shooting on the west coast and were shooting things that interested me. The majority were bondage companies and again Gwen Media the latex/rubber movie producer hired me many times.

At that time, I went to see agents for the adult industry to see if they could open doors of companies I didn't have contact for. They told me I was too old (I was 26) and that I needed a nose job.I walked out feeling awful of course and I never had an agent or anyone book work for me. I found it all on my own.

The fetish work was steady, didn't pay very much, the days were long and because of my personal limits there was not a ton of it. But I loved it.

Every time I worked for someone new I would ask a lot of questions about how they did things, everyone was genuinely into what they were shooting and happy to share their interests with an enthusiastic model who showed interest in their work.

For me fetish work has never been a paycheck, it has always been a passion and a lifestyle.

When I got started, I shot mostly for bondage producers and bdsm companies. Then I also did softcore girl girl movies, then hardcore girl girl movies and then I started producing for myself.

All the money I made went back into buying cameras, lights, computers, wardrobe, props, etc

I had a vision and was working towards it. Everything was directly reinvested.

I joined clips4sale in 20065 and I still have my store here.

And within a year of shooting my own content I started distributing my own line of fetish movies to adult stores in the USA and Europe. The dvd business was good and I was able to shoot a new movie each month and put it out on the market. I worked hard to build my brand and I found distribution and lots of models who came to work for me. And I was so happy to hire them, pay them well and give them the experience I wanted to have on shoots.

Things continued and my ambition and confidence grew and I approached bigger companies like Hustler who had the Taboo video line and I pitched them some ideas. They gave me a budget and I produced a dozen movies for them.

One of my favorite part of being in this line of work is that you always do something different.

If you are creative it is fantastic but you have to want it. And you have to learn so many trades. One day you are a graphic designer , the day after a model, the day after a warehouse worker building set and moving heavy things, the day after you do PR and marketing, then you are an editor, then a talent agent recruiting talents for your next movies and so on and so on. The work never ends. I honestly have been working a full time job 6 days a week.

And my advice is that if you want to be successful understand that there will be a lot of work involved.

But it will be the best work you have ever had.

For me, it has been a long learning fetish journey and a natural progression.
