Eleanor O'Brien of Dance Naked Productions has an alter ego, and she's here to help. The Self Help Domme hosts O'Brien's new one woman show, Good Girls Guide: Dominatrix for Dummies , which is based on O'Brien's experience taking a job as a professional dominatrix at The Jewel Box while pursing an acting career in NYC. The kicker is that she had no previous experience as a dominatrix, so it is a play about finding herself more than it is about finding her way around a dungeon.

Don't expect this show to teach you how to control a bullwhip or tie up your love slave in five minutes or less; this Domme would rather whip your self esteem into shape and order you to worship yourself. The one-woman show is tightly crafted, and O'Brien eases in and out of characters to weave a sensitive and sexy story with a brutally honest sense of humor.

The show includes audience participation, so you better be comfortable sitting with your eyes closed in a room full of people while visualizing yourself going down on yourself, or with hugging and/or spanking the person to your left. I really recommend bringing an open-minded date, and staying after for the post-show dance party, open mic, or cocktails. You can follow the Self Help Dominatrix on Twitter or check out the SelfHelpDom website, which offers memes with Advice from the Dom like the one above.

Catch the show this weekend at 8pm at Theater! Theater on 3420 SE Belmont. Tickets are $15 online or $20 at the door
