Many men have fallen for the charms of Gretel Pinniger, Australia's most notorious dominatrix, who – under the sobriquet of Madame Lash – has been the talk of Sydney society for more than 40 years.
There was Clyde Packer, elder brother of the late media tycoon, Kerry, who introduced Pinniger to S&M in exchange for a white mink coat. There was Tony Bilson, now one of Australia's leading chefs, with whom she explored "free love" and drank "schooners [tall beer glasses] of champagne".

The shocking, outrageous and highly entertaining biography of one of Australia's most colourful women - dominatrix and courtesan, Gretel Pinniger, aka 'Madame Lash'. Wowsers beware!
Gretel Pinniger, dominatrix, fetishist, artist, and courtesan to the rich and famous has been shocking and outraging Australia for decades.
Never shy of publicity, this introverted daughter of a handsome war hero from the Melbourne establishment once wanted to become a nun.

Despite marrying and becoming a mother, there is nothing ordinary about the outlandish Gretel Pinniger. Join Sam Everingham as he takes you into the colourful reality of Australia's most misunderstood eccentric. This is a portrait as revealing, provocative and outrageous as Madam Lash herself.
