Bed-Stuy dominatrix unchained
Movers help cash-strapped woman flee BDSM-hating neighbor for free
BY COLIN MIXSON
This dominatrix got hooked up!
An embattled Bedford-
Stuyvesant dominatrix fl ed
her BDSM-hating neighbor to
another Brooklyn dungeon on
April 6 with help from some bighearted
movers, who assisted
the cash-strapped kinkster
transport her bondage gear free
of charge.
It wasn’t the fi rst BDSM dungeon
the movers have relocated,
but it was one of the nicest,
according to the owner.
“I’ve been moving for 12
years now in the city, and it
happens here and there,” said
Dan Heydebrand, co-owner of
Lift NYC Movers. “This one
had some of the nicer stuff
we’ve seen.”
Heydebrand decided to donate
his company’s time and
moving expertise to sex educator
Charlotte Taillor after
reading news coverage about
her trouble with kink-shaming
neighbor Laurie Miller, who
successfully perpetrated a onewoman
harassment campaign
in an effort to force the dominatrix
off her Quincy Street block.
During the move, Heydebrand
and his crew transported a
small torture-chamber’s worth
of custom-made bondage furniture,
including a cross affi xed
with numerous attachments,
a throne fi t for a goddess, and a
bed that probably wasn’t made
for a good night’s rest in mind,
the mover said.
“It was all in leather,” said
Heydebrand. “It’s probably
not too comfortable to sleep
on, but then it’s probably not
for sleeping.”
Taillor, who operates an
adults-only classroom called
COURIER L 6 IFE, APRIL 12–18, 2019 M BR B G
The Taillor Collective, moved
from a Crown Heights dungeon
to the residential Quincy Street
block in December, where she
offered paid workshops catering
to the erotically intrepid, including
lessons on bondage and paddling,
cross-dressing events for
guys, dirty drawing workshops
featuring tied-up models, and
pegging classes for women — a
class which attracts an unlikely
amount of Jersey house wives,
the kink maven claimed.
But the dominatrix announced
her plan to fl ee Bedford
Stuyvesant after Miller
discovered that the men and
women fi ling into her neighbor’s
apartment were exploring
the less orthodox side of human
sexuality, and the Quincy
Street resident could be heard
screaming at neighbors regarding
their sexual proclivities
from the street outside, as Taillor
and her colleagues held class
from within.
Taillor — who asked that the
specifi c location of her new dungeon
be withheld to protect her
clients — said having to relocate
so soon after moving to the Bedford
Stuyvesant location put a
serious strain on her fi nances,
and said Heydebrand’s generous
offer to help free of charge came
as huge relief.
“They were amazing,”
Taillor said. “I’m going to be
forever grateful.”
