Deidre's image as the sexiest stripper before pole dancing became popular was part of the draw to Iznoma Hedonia. Her reputation for sensuality -- even carnality -- drew visitors to the sex-friendly resort from the first day it opened. Long after she had been through her Rolodex of contacts in the adult film and sex industry and the first season's wave of guests from the sex industry had gone home, her personal larger-than-life reputation and the sensual experience she personified kept the guests coming back, spreading the word among their friends, and longing for the one protected place where it seemed that the hunger for raw, driven sex could finally be satiated. Now it was 1985, her business was spectacularly successful and she was famous, even at the advanced age of 45, for being the epitome of beauty and sex.
But where did she come from and how did she get to be the physical embodiment of extreme femininity?
Deidre was sitting in front of Janine, for the interview. The two women sat in Deidre's private office, up in her penthouse, surrounded by elaborately framed, larger-than life black-and-white close-up pictures of Deidre's body. Janine was sitting under a blow-up of Deidre's big clitoris. Deidre was sitting under a big art print of her own mammogram, on pink paper. It would be the only time during Janine's visit to Iznoma Hedonia that she got to explore Deidre's personal story, although she knew some of it from reading the classic, highly-praised erotic story "Emily's Experience". Today, she was going to get the inside story for her magazine, Against Moss. The story no one had heard before.
Janine had slinked back to her own room the night before, after her fuckfest with Deidre, slept it off, and was now back at the penthouse, dressed as modestly as anyone at Iznoma Hedonia every got in the resort loincloth and the second flimsy muslin strip as a top. She told herself that she had covered her tits that morning just because she wanted to look business-like but she and Deidre both knew that it was an overreaction in response to the intimacy of the night before.
Deidre was not wearing resort clothes, because she was going out after the interview. She was dressed in a miniskirt so tight her luxuriant boobs were barely contained and Janine could see the perfect shape of Deidre's flat abdomen and wide hipbones which curved inward toward the little mound visible under the fabric stretched over her groin. After the interview Deidre was going to visit the Attorney General of the Islands Government, a powerful politician with whom she kept company overnight at least twice a month in the capital, for reasons of both pleasure and business insurance. She would leave that afternoon for the two-hour drive to the capital and might not be back before Janine left Iznoma Hedonia, depending on whether she and the gentleman made it a weekend.
Janine was direct. "I've seen and I've gotten to know and appreciate Iznoma Hedonia. It is a dream of sensuality that came entirely from your own mind. But now I want to understand where that vision came from. You didn't need to be a stripper to be successful and you didn't need to own a strip club to make big bucks. You could have done anything and you would have been a success. What shaped you and how did you start on this path in your life? You are beautiful -- that is putting it mildly -- and very smart and your business sense is second to none. Even if you were not such a fantastic businesswoman rich men would have given you anything you wanted to be with them. How did it happen that a woman with everything going for her would choose sex as a career and trade on her body, right from the beginning?"
Deidre thought for a moment and then spoke in her husky voice. "First of all, you don't get it. You see sex as something dirty and beneath the talent of someone like me. You don't understand that sex, physical desire, and the pleasures of the carnal senses" Janine quickly wrote that phrase down "are what motivate me and always have. I have always had a very strong sex drive and I didn't want it to be suppressed in my life. I intended to make sex my life, from the beginning. I wanted to show off my body and I wanted a body to show off that nobody else could match. I wanted to be able to pick any partner I wanted -- to have my pick of any man to penetrate me with his cock and work hard to pleasure me. To me sex was a goal above everything else. My availability for sex was a means to an end. My attractiveness and my availability, what you might call promiscuity," Deidre arched her eyebrows as if accusing Janine, who had been getting herself screwed all week, of hypocrisy, "gave me power and made other things possible, so that I could acquire wealth and the means to get my own needs satisfied whenever I wanted."
Janine found Deidre's honesty breathtaking. "How did it start?" she asked.
"I was the daughter of two very beautiful and rich parents, with great genes and no brains. I don't know where I got mine from. The two of them met on the West Coast, and in no time they got married and I was born. I inherited my bone structure and boobs from my Dutch mother, whose family had been in America a long time, and my face and sex drive from my randy British father, who was a new arrival. He was a bit of a coward and was trying to stay out of the British Army, which had already gone to war. But he was later drafted into the US Army and couldn't get out of it because he was perfectly healthy. He got himself killed in France. My mother moped around for a long time and, frankly, neglected me. She sent me to religious boarding school.
