I dunno..."Contessa Tigressa" has a certain ring to it. [:D] Especially if you rrrrroll that "r".
Actually, I hadn't really considered these titles from the old class nobility before....but weirdly, I can see why they might have a certain appeal.
I don't generally go for general domme titles, but people are always asking me what you're supposed to call a Femme Domme if you want to aproach her politely, and I never have a solid answer. I have to admit, though, that if everyone were part of some kind of universal protocol, "Contessa" would pretty much kick ass all over "Mistress" and "Ma'am" as a general term for dominant women, for a number of reasons.
"Contessa" or "Baroness" or whatever is a title that asserts your dominant nature as a right of birth, for one thing--and I do believe that most people who are dominant are probably born with the inclination, regardless of when they start to express it. "Contessa" also asserts your dominant nature without insinuating a sexual or personal D/S relationship with anyone in particular--people can call you "contessa" without behaving as if you've already collared them.
"Contessa" also asserts dominance without insinuating that anyone you meet is automatically your inferior (after all, there can be many nobles in any country!) and it asserts dominance without making reference to your age. You can be a Contessa at 18 or 80--it's not something that comes and goes relative to another person's status. Whereas "Ma'am" always implies an older woman to me, due to rural upbringing--I find it awkward to be called "ma'am", especially by men my own age.
And of course, it gives you that nice division there between your D/S world and your vanilla life! If someone calls you "Contessa", you're in Kinkland.
Still gonna stick with my own way for now, I think. But if the Female Supremacists take over the world, I am TOTALLY going to stake out a Barony somewhere in the north and have my castle guarded by shirtless men with tribal tattoos and silver nipple rings.
And...um...polar bears.
Screw it, I'm a Baroness, I can do what I want. [:)]
