ORIGINAL: cyberdude611 What is giving all dommes a bad rep is the sudden influx of so-called "money dommes" who have little to no interest in bdsm and are simply looking for free and easy money. So it starts to look like all dommes only care about money. As for the artist, actor, athlete, painter analogy... I dont buy it. That's a talent or a skill. Plus an actor doesn't go to a theater and say "pay me if you want to talk to me." They get thrown out the door. An artist doesn't say, "pay me before you can look at my artwork." An athlete doesnt go to a professional team and tell the coach to "pay me and I'll show you what I can do." Yes they do. People are paid for interviwes, and signing days. You don't watch a movie THEN pay for ticket; you are asked to pay first, and I might remind; not all shows are good. You pay for entry to the concert first - THEN you see the band. You buy a ticket or TV & cable and THEN you see the game ... And your team often loses. You pay admission to the gallery ... and then you take the tour. You order McDonald's and pay before you eat ... But at the steak house they trust you to be able to afford it. Dress codes help, credit cards on reservations help too ... Ah but then ... do you ever TIP them at McDonald's - would you at the SteakHouse ... and why not a Lady then ...? Your sense is not there; true non-sense!!! #1 reason - Numbers ... The floodgates have to be closed somehow - deluges are not fun. #2 reason - Attitudes ... As mentioned some people are most costly emotionally to deal with. #3 reason - Quality/Celebrity ... Some are good enough and confident enough ... like the basement artist compared to the Louvre artist ... the local playhouse actor VS the Hollywood variety. The playhouse actor is not deluged by celebrity, the Hollywood one, needs some help with things. Entourages go hand in hand with popularity or importance, insulation as well - the more important or popular someone is, the more effort to be near them. #4 reason - Finances ... it costs a LOT of cash to cater to your desires ... clothing, equipment and the like are not free, things also do not last indefinitely ... they do need replacing, fixing, rebuilding etc. #5 reason - Undeniability ... it says much about you, and the truth of one's servility. There are those who would be honoured to give double, and then there are those always crying for "cuts" ... who do you think is around a year later, and likely has a bed in the house somewhere? #6 reason - It's hot ... it's risky ... it's fun ... and it's outside the lines - For outside the lines kind of Ladies it only makes sense ... doesn't it? #7 reason ... Wardrobe ... I mean no one but a Dame dresses ... like a Dame ... it's just the way it is. This allows a full time wardrobe rather than a part time interest. #8 reason ... Time served ... what better way to get in the practice, to learn hands on and to be working with variables? PLUS hey, being paid at the same time; who would complain!? #9 reason ... Posers or Pro ... you say the weekend Ladies are posers and players, and the pro's are money grubbers, but in the end only one side of the argument will ever come out ahead ... "The difference between having nothing and a sack ... is still having the sack." #10 ... Reason ... Was this one given permission to ask personal questions, or is it simply pushing the patience of all the Ladies present? A Lady doesn't need a reason - only a desire. Reality is a bag of jelly belly beans ... Careful the flavours you mix. XxoxX
