Thirty years later, at age 58, this stunning transgender powerhouse is the most respected professional dominatrix in Los Angeles, plus the founder and executive producer of DomCon, an annual convention in LA and Atlanta; a bondage model who has appeared on shows like Nip/Tuck and Las Vegas; a regular guest speaker at UCLA; a community leader commended by the city of West Hollywood for her Thanksgiving and Christmas charity slave auctions; and the owner of Sanctuary, a 7,000-square-foot commercial dungeon near LAX, which employs forty women and boasts nine themed playrooms named after Greek goddesses.
Cyan is a dominant, not a sadist, meaning that rather than taking pleasure in other people's agony she gets off on the control, carefully watching her client's body and using what most of us might consider painful sensations to create pleasure and tease him into "sub-space."
...she wanted to use the opportunity to establish a different kind of dungeon, where girls are not treated "like they're expendable."
