She’s whipped!
Dominatrix fl eeing Brooklyn dungeon in
wake of neighbor’s harassment campaign
BY COLIN MIXSON
She’s at the end of her rope!
A local dominatrix is coiling her
whips and packing up her paddles
as she prepares to fl ee her Bedford-
Stuyvesant neighbor, a woman who
vilifi es the businesswoman as part of
an ongoing harassment campaign, according
to the dom.
“She just stays outside screaming,
mostly to neighbors, about us, saying
things like, ‘They’re kinky weirdos,’ ”
said dominatrix Charlotte Taillor. “I
told my friends that she’s a humiliatrix,
but I don’t have a safe word!”
Charlotte Taillor moved her adultsonly
classroom, called the Taillor Collective,
from nearby Crown Heights
to a Quincy Street residential unit
between Bedford and Nostrand avenues
in December, where she offers
paid workshops catering to the sexually
adventurous, including lessons on
bondage and paddling, cross-dressing
events for guys, dirty drawing workshops,
and pegging classes for women
— a workshop that attracts a disproportionate
amount of Jersey girls, the
kink maven claimed.
“Housewives from Jersey want
to know how to peg their husbands,”
Taillor said.
But once her neighbor Laurie Miller
found out that the stream of people fi ling
into the building next door visited
to study the art of kink, she called the
cops, alerted local Councilman Robert
Cornegy and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries —
neither of whom got back to her, she
claimed — and reported the operation
to the Department of Buildings, complaining
the neighborhood’s residential
zoning should be enough to prohibit
her Bdsm business.
Miller also organized several meetings
of the 200 Quincy St. Block Association
to complain about Taillor,
most recently convening the group on
March 6, where she derided some of
the dom’s clients as “creepy” kidnappers.
“It may be a prejudice of mine, but
once the activity they have doesn’t get
them off anymore, what are they going
to do, snatch a kid, or a woman off the
street?” she said. “Some of these guys
are really creepy looking, that’s what
really bothers me.”
Following the meeting, Miller clarifi
ed her accusations, telling this newspaper
Taillor’s clientele are “transients”
and that she doesn’t like to see
strangers on her block.
“They’re not people that are regular
to our neighborhood,” she said. “You
watch who’s who in the neighborhood,
and what’s going on, you want to know
where they’re coming their from. We
really don’t know these people.”
SUBMISSIVE: Dominatrix Charlotte Taillor is
looking to move her Quincy Street dungeon
to fl ee her angry neighbor. Charlotte Taillor
And when asked what specifi cally
made the male patrons she ridiculed
“creepy,” Miller pointed to “big afros”
and generally “unkempt looking,
scruffy individuals.”
Some neighbors stood behind
Miller at the recent block-association
meeting, including one woman who exclaimed,
“But what about the kids?!”
But other Quincy Street residents
supported Taillor’s brand of kinky
commerce, with another resident admitting
she had no idea about the sex
business on her block until Miller
raised a stink.
“As a neighbor, this sounds like a
business I’d be happy to have on this
street,” said Rebecca Israel.
City law allows locals to operate
home businesses in residential buildings,
but requires that the property
be primarily used as a residence, that
at least one occupant work as an employee,
and that the business take up
no more than a quarter of the overall
space, according to Buildings Department
spokesman Andrew Rudansky,
who said the agency has yet to inspect
Taillor’s property.
Still, the dominatrix — whose dilemma
was fi rst reported by website
Patch — is doing everything in her
power to break her lease and move, she
claimed, including setting up an online
fund-raiser to help cover the cost
of relocating, which she hopes to do by
the end of April.
“We’re taking off, please stop trying
to break us, we’re already leaving,”
Taillor told Miller at the blockassociation
meeting.
