An ambitious work of fiction and photography, The Mistress, Volume 4, Number 4, tells the story of three attractive sadists. They develop a Beverly Hills punishment establishment that allows them to fully realize their inner demons for the benefit of all mankind. The text of more than 19,000 words explores the alleged duality of all women, who conduct themselves as dutiful wives most of the time and occasionally transform into mean fantasy dominas. When in domina mode, women control, subjugate and hurt men.

Wife of a wealthy industrialist, Monica serves as protagonist. We're told about some of the luxuries her affluent lifestyle affords her and how her exclusive circle of acquaintances supplies men who need the domination services of Monica, her maid Renee, and Christy, a professional dominatrix in charge of the business.

As a domina, Monica morphs into Monique, who wears a black wig, gleaming patent leather and knee-high boots. In this persona, she becomes an omniscient philosopher with a grand world plan and prophesies a future in which women are in charge.

The photographs were staged in an ornate mansion with carefully coordinated costumes and cosmetics. Slender Christy shows off her long legs in a corset, full-fashioned stockings and pumps with six-inch heels. In a shiny, open-breasted leotard and two-tone, thigh-high boots, Renee whips their client with a riding crop.

Prose has been lightly edited and reorganized to enhance the reading experience. The original story and pictures do not match precisely. The optimized ebook aligns images with text as content allows. The brightness and contrast of images have been adjusted and many specks re-touched. All original scans.

Although the text includes far-fetched, 1970s rhetoric, the prose describes dominant females who enjoy hurting men. Photographs capture the sensuous curves of extra-pretty models in fetish wear. More than 70 pictures delineate a fantasy world of sexy women in heels who provide punishment services for errant males who seek and need pain and humiliation. While the premise and characters may be unlikely, the ebook delivers an enjoyable viewing experience for those who like seeing glamorous dolls get rough with a man restrained in leather bondage.

NOTE: When an Eros Goldstripe product was numbered Volume 4, Number 4, it usually meant that the publication was a one-shot — one of a kind. Other examples are More than 200 Pictures of Girls in High Heels and A Nostalgic Look at Bettie Page, which had no subsequent issues.
