Channel: Fireside Chats with Douglas O'Keeffe
Date: 2021-10-27

Sybil Holiday might be better known to some as Holiday O'Hara, as she is a legend in the 1960s and 1970s San Francisco Burlesque scene before moving on to SM work (while writing a book about it).

In this interview, Sybil talks about her childhood dreams of working in Burlesque, how she met SM Impresario Cléo Dubois, and why she was drawn to help others discover their sexuality.


Inside Leather History: A Fireside Chat is produced by Douglas O’Keeffe and Mistress Joanne C. Gaddy ("The Producers”).The Chats seek to capture the memories, reflections, and experiences of leaders in the leather and/or LGBTQ+ communities. With a deep and heartfelt regard for the importance of our history, it is the intent of The Producers to collect, preserve, and appropriately share the stories of our forebears and others who have made significant contributions to the leather and/or LGBTQ+ communities. This is done through a series of recorded interviews.
