Clip description

Jabe is lying on the floor behind a small toy house. She lifts off the roof and we see a television inside. Jabe watches herself speaking with a friend. Images of Jabe working as a dominatrix are intercut with an interview with Jabe and the toy street.

Curator’s notes

Jabe tells how she became a dominatrix and how her size really suited the job. She often wore high heels that made her a towering six foot eight inches. The sequence of Jabe working as a dominatrix is playful and humorous as she sends herself up with great aplomb.
