FDTV’s Eye Candy: Isabella Sinclaire
I first became aware of Isabella Sinclaire when I saw her in the “dominatrix do it on command” commercial for the 15 million dollars getcrackin.com pistachio campaign. She is described as “easy on the eyes, hard on everything else.” She has been a professional dominatrix and fetish model for almost 15 years. She remains one of the world’s most sought after Domina’s.
DaVe: The 1990 movie, Exit to Eden did a horrible job showing the world of professional domination and submission. Who would you rather whip for their shitty performance: Rosie O’Donnell or Dana Delany?
Isabella: I, honestly, didn’t see the movie. It looked a bit sensationalized and I figured it would be cheesy. As a public figure in this community, I have spent the majority of my time trying to portray our scene in a positive light. I can see the humor in it also but sometimes the media’s portrayal is just too silly for me to enjoy. But as for whipping either of these ladies, both could probably use it.
DaVe: You recently appeared in a Pistachio commercial. How were you approached to appear in the ad and what was most enjoyable experience about making that commercial?
Isabella: The commercial was so much fun to make. Everyone on set was totally fascinated by me and what I do but they were all very polite. I cracked the nut on the first take and the whole room exploded in a standing ovation and applause so that was really cool. They thought they were going to have to do several takes and do computer magic to make the point so they were surprised when I could actually do it. We ended wrapping the day early and I acquired a few fans in the process. 
The funniest thing was, when I read the script, I interpreted the voice over “Dominatrix do it on command” as I could crack a nut with a whip on command, because I am that good but it seems it has been interpreted differently from those who know the scene. Some even took offense to it. I think that is pretty funny. People take things way to seriously sometimes. I mean, this commercial is meant for mainstream. They don’t know the plural to the Dominatrix title or the job description, just the imagery. I think the commercial turned out great and I am very proud to have been a part of it, especially on the verge of my retirement.
DaVe: My website regularly discusses alcohol and doing some crazy things. What is your favorite drink and what is the craziest thing you’ve done while drunk?
Isabella: I’m not a drinker. I will drink socially but I’m a bit of a control freak so I am usually the baby sitter or designated driver for my friends. My favorite drink is Grey Goose and tonic with a squeeze of lime. Or wine is a great alternative.
DaVe: As a professional Dominatrix, you probably have seen AND are asked to do some wild things. What is the wildest thing you’ve seen or have been asked to preform?
Isabella: I was asked to whip a man with a homemade barb wire whip. I refused. Not only is that unsanitary, it’s very uncontrollable. Instead I counseled him on alternative ways to suffer. Like cutting, which is more controlled. I never saw him again so I’m not certain what happened. I’ve also turned down alot of blackmail requests. I really have no interest in bring in people from the outside unless it is consensual and in those scenes, it isn’t consensual and the fantasy is exciting but the reality could be devastating. It’s too uncontrollable also.
DaVe: In your line of work, you probably have many different costumes. Do you have a favorite or lucky pair of underwear or outfits (either professional or personally)?
Isabella: Wow, a question I have never been asked. I don’t. I love all of my things but I don’t have a lucky or favorite anything. Is that rare?
DaVe:Has mainstream media ever got the Dominatrix world right? If so, who has done the best job portraying the scene?
Isabella: I’m not certain about the Dominatrix role right but as far as the mentality of the players and the internal struggles to find yourself, I think “The Secretary” did the best job I’ve ever seen. It had become one of my all time favorites.
DaVe: Is Isabella Sinclaire single? Do you have a dating horror story (current or past)?
Isabella: Isabella Sinclaire is never single or usually not for long. All of my relationships have been long term. I like consistency in my personal life and I have also kept it very separate from the scene. I’ve had so much longevity in the industry because I’ve kept many interests both inside and outside of the community, or at least that’s why I think I’ve been able to keep a good balance in my life.
I want to thank Isabella Sinclaire for her time and great answers to our questions. I found some additional interviews with Isabella from her Pistachio shoot. You can find the YouTube interviews here, here and here. For more photo’s and other information on her website www.IsabellaSinclaire.com. If you are into the whole Dominatrix scene you can check out Isabella Sinclaire’s other websites www.GwenMedia.com and www.dominationonline.com (both NSFW).
So, I might have to beat down Cindy (verbally) for that. Ha! But on the other hand I don’t blame her for coming out with her own line of products. I’m sure it’ll make her even richer! After all, everyone else does it, so why not her…she’s a beautiful model!
