Discovering a hidden side of family history can be eye-opening, and for Melody Mars, it was downright exciting.
At just 23 years old, she stumbled upon a fascinating piece of her grandmother’s past that most people would find shocking.
While helping her 70-year-old grandmother, Mima, move to a new home, Melody unearthed a dusty dominatrix scrapbook along with some old VHS tapes that revealed Mima’s wild days as a dominatrix in the 1980s.
Rather than being embarrassed, Melody felt a rush of pride, realizing she was following in her grandmother’s daring footsteps.
Following in Her Footsteps
Growing up in the vibrant Lower East Side of New York City, Melody has her own path as a dominatrix while balancing a full-time job as a social media executive.
She’s been part of the sex industry for five years and has embraced her role, which includes charging clients up to £1,500 per hour to fulfill their wildest fantasies.
Melody specializes in medical fetishes and piercing play, and she finds great satisfaction in her work.
For her, each day is filled with new experiences, and she welcomes the challenges and stories that come her way.
A Commanding Presence
Reflecting on her grandmother’s strong personality, Melody recalls that Mima has always had a commanding presence that demanded respect.
“She simply will not stand for anything she doesn’t like,” Melody explains. It came as no surprise to her that Mima had a dominant side, even if it was more about lifestyle than money back then.
According to Melody, her grandmother’s past was less about being paid for services and more about expressing who she truly was.
“My gran is pretty much my twin; we have the same attitude, same demeanor,” she shares.
Embracing Freedom and Fun
Mima has a preference for younger men, which Melody finds amusing.
“She loves a man who she can take over and who will follow her every command – as she should,” she laughs.
The connection between them is profound, rooted in a shared sense of empowerment.
Melody imagines her grandmother thriving in the liberating atmosphere of the 50s and 60s, enjoying life to the fullest—a spirit that Mima has carried with her ever since.
Family Support
While Mima may have indulged in her dominant lifestyle for free, Melody embraces the financial side of her work.
The young dominatrix credits her mother and grandmother for introducing her to the vibrant world of sex work.
Raised around dancers, drag queens, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, Melody was always surrounded by the idea of sexual freedom and expression. “It was beautiful to me,” she recalls fondly.
Her family may not always want to hear the specifics of her work, but they support her choices wholeheartedly.
“As long as I am safe and happy, they are too,” she states, expressing gratitude for their acceptance.
With a strong family backing her, Melody looks forward to carving out her unique path in a world that often misunderstands her profession.
