SM/BD For the Algolagnia enthusist-, by an Algolagnia enthusist:

In the late 1990’s, she began as a submissive doing suspension and learning the ropes at The World- Famous Chateau after it moved to the N. Hollywood location in California. It was not long before she began to switch- more so out of wanting to share with others the wonderful expirence of being the focal point and object of play.
After becomming a switch in 1997, she changed her name to Winter.

Why Winter?
Being a long-time fan of comics and video games[she still is], one of her all-time favorites [Scott McCloud-author of ‘Zot’] had gave this name to one of his children- needless to say, she loved the name. The name ‘Winter’ can still be seen in the 1997 internet archive records of the Chateau’s staff.

Winter left The Chateau and began her independant journey as Mistress Winter traveling to Canada and then in 2000, left for Hong Kong [Central] to play on Naomi’s closed list.
 

In 2009, Winter returned to Los Angeles.
