Vanity Fair interviews dominatrix Catherine Robbe-Grillet and the woman with whom she lives, Beverly Charpentier. Robbe-Grillet is the 83-year-old widow of Alain Robbe-Grillet; writer Toni Bentley describes her thus:
“The power she wields, standing at a majestic four feet eleven inches and weighing in at 88 pounds (she has worn a child’s size 10 her entire adult life), is obscured, though not for long, behind the most courteous carapace of the smallest and sweetest little old lady one might ever meet.”
