An interview with Female Pet, Felicia Velasco
Q. Thanks for meeting with me this morning, Felicia.
A. No problem, anything for Point of You.
Q. So tell me a little about your character, Female Pet. You don’t speak much, huh?
A. Female Pet was explained to me as being the fairy god pet of the BDSM scene. I just sort of flutter around from scene to scene observing what is going on with everyone else. I think Female Pet has all of her sh_t together and is a simple girl. She is quite content in her lifestyle.
Q. How do you feel about being a submissive and having a mistress?
A. It’s awesome. I love my Mistress Lyla. Female Pet is extremely loyal to her. And Sonia is such a kick ass girl!
Q. With such a large cast sharing one big dressing room, are there any fun tales to tell?
A. Well about once a week Sonia (Mistress Lyla) gets her first outfit polished by Maggie (Servant). That’s always fun to see and so very ironic. Maggie does very good work. Jessie and I (Cecily) have begun this ritual of warming up before the show by jumping invisible rope and then we do some crazy yoga exercises and then she does two push ups with me on her back! It’s awesome! Jesse is a kick ass girl, as well.
Q. There are two party scenes in the show - what do you really talk about at the party?
A. I keep my conversations in character, which is fun. In the Act I party scene I try to convince Rebecca (Marlise) to get a collar and I flirt with her and make her all uncomfortable. In Act II, while I’m bent over the saw horse, Woman Seeking (Hailey Giles) once whispered “now I’m saying something kinky” and “I’m bending this way because if I don’t, the audience can see right up my skirt”. Sonia tries to behave as my Mistress, but then I just start laughing – we need to work on that.
Q. Any mishaps on stage?
A. Well, the saw horse has been a huge problem. I think someone unintentionally walks into it every night. I’ve missed my cue twice last week in one of the scenes at the end of Act II, but shhh…don’t tell. And I covered it beautifully, if I say so myself!
Q. Were you worried about the subject matter?
A. I was slightly nervous about revealing too much. I didn’t want to be naked or half naked or three quarters naked. I believe I told Marc at the beginning of the production that I wanted to save my nakedness for the wrap party. I did some research on the scene. I read a book, Sensual Magic, very informative!
Q. How has the feedback been?
A. A couple of my friends were curious to know who “Female Pet” really was – there is just so much mystery and intrigue to my character. =)
And the first question that one of my girlfriends asked her friends when they left the theatre was, “what’s fisting?” Their response: “you really don’t know?” So people have definitely learned a thing or two!
Q. Any parting words?
A. I just want to say how awesome (I use that word a lot) it has been working with the cast and the Point of You peeps. I’ve met really great people and I hope to work with all of them again. Cheesy, but true!
