Butt-lers
Dames have their butlers…
Dommes have their butt-lers.
Kings have their kingdom…
Queens have their Queendom.
Butt-lers
An artistic journey
by
Inanna Justice & Madame Lule
Butler
from Anglo-Norman buteler.
The bottle bearer.
Butt-ler
from English.
The butt of the joke.
Once upon a time…
… there was a Queendom where two friends, Madame Lule and Inanna Justice, reigned as Mistresses. Under their orders and at their feet, their little impersonals, their butt-lers, at once servants, footmen, doormats, and sufferers. In short, objects for the sole pleasure of these Ladies.

Once upon a time, back to the origins…
A journey of a thousand leagues always begins with a first step, so they say. This first step in Minordomie, aka Butt-lers, started with a joke: what if, to break the classic codes of BDSM, the Dommes donned a ball gown and the submissives a bow tie and suit?
The result: scenes combining fantasy, charm, sensuality, humor, and elegance. The concept of Butt-lers was born. There was no question of stopping there! Step by step, what started as a day trip became a demanding journey spread over several years.
The ideal destination? An art gallery, except that cumbersome organization discouraged us. We were also worried about reaching a limited audience, as it was essentially a Parisian one that could access a physical gallery. So we came up with the idea of a virtual exhibition, in two languages, on a site built brick by brick.
If you would like to host a Butt-ler exhibition (gallery, association, etc.), contact us.
