LESLIE McRAY is our MISTRESS OF THE MONTH, NOVEMBER 2010
Leslie wrote a book that was published in 1990 called "KEPT WOMEN" subtitle "Confessions From a Life of Luxury" which is now in it's 3rd edition.
She wrote it with Ted Schwartz.
The book is heavily dependent on psychotherapy, and the diagnosis of kept women as being abused children who grow up with a real lack of self esteem and an addiction to the approval of men, usually based on their beauty and sexual prowess.
Yet, I noticed, she said that many of these Mistresses had their own incomes of $30,000 to $100,000 a year. So most of them really didn't need the money, as I see it, and probably had some education or intelligence and the self esteem to be competive in the work place.
I feel sorry for Leslie that her mistresshood came to what it did and I admire her courage to overcome her past and her own demons to write the book, which does delve into a very dark, scary, aspect of mistressing that some, not all, mistresses experience. This includes sadio-masochism.
Many mistresses apparently "shared and bared" their souls to Leslie, and of course they remain unnamed.
Leslie is also psychology-sure that the whole set up of being kept, by a usually married man, is one in which the man and the mistress are people who cannot keep a commitment (something I personally do not believe is always true either).
Leslie is from a world of beauties who modeled, won contests, and met and were kept by men of international fame. She won something like 70 beauty pageants.
These men who kept Leslie and other women were men with great fortunes - doers - important men. Yet her experience with them was horrible.
She left the mistressing life that caused her so much pain and survived. She is now an active film producer. She has a film on the 9/11 terrorist attack to her credit.
I'm linking to the IMDB database that has a bio of Leslie...
