UK – Hull – THEY showered her with gifts including designer handbags and 6in stilettos as she made them obey her every command.
Now, Hull dominatrix Mistress Dita has sold her designer presents in an online auction to help Church of England vicar Phil Lamb raise money for a sick little boy.
Mistress Dita, also known as Julie Preston, was moved by the plight of Brett Scott, nine, after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour and his family was told his best chance of survival was proton therapy in America.
She held a 24-hour auction on Facebook, selling a pair of £700 Christian Louboutin designer shoes, Prada handbags and other presents to raise £2,000.
“In my game, I get a lot of presents like designer shoes and handbags,” said Ms Preston, who appeared in a Channel Four documentary about her work in the sex industry last year.
“But I’m a Hessle Roader at heart and I’m happier in flip-flops so it’s wasted on me.
“I’d heard about the little lad and what he was going through, so I thought I’d try and raise a bit of money for him.”
Brett had only just started walking when his parents, who live in Hornsea, noticed he was leaning to one side. Tests showed an aggressive tumour known as an anaplastic ependymoma.
At just two years old, Brett underwent surgery and 18 months of chemotherapy.
During a routine scan six months ago, a radiographer spotted something suspicious on the image and Brett was asked to return in six months instead of the usual year.
The latest scan showed the tumour had returned and Brett underwent a further operation.
Although he shows no outward sign of illness, Brett is preparing to fly to Oklahoma next month for 11 weeks of proton therapy.
Rev Lamb, the vicar at St Nicholas Church in Hornsea, started the appeal on Facebook – Supporting Young Brett Scott – and within days, people had donated £5,000 to support the family during their stay in America.
Ms Preston’s auction total of £2,000 has boosted the target to more than £7,000 after the Louboutin shoes, with their famous red lacquered soles, sold for £170.
She said: “I couldn’t have done this without the support of people in Hull and everyone has come together for the sake of this little lad. It just shows we can make a difference when we put our mind to it.”
Rev Lamb praised Ms Preston for donating her time and possessions to helping Brett.
He said: “It’s fantastic she has wanted to help.”
‘Response restores faith in humanity’
With little more than two weeks to go until the family leaves for America, Rev Lamb hopes funding can reach £10,000.
Two fundraisers have been organised at the Walton Street Club in west Hull on October 23, and the Pelican pub in James Reckitt Avenue, east Hull on November 7.
Rev Lamb said: “It’s been a brilliant response and it just restores your faith in humanity. This family have sleepless nights anyway, knowing the tumour has come back, but this has maybe eased some of the pressure on them.”
People can post donations through the vicarage door in Hornsea or send them to The Vicarage, 9 Newbegin, Hornsea HU18 1AB.
