While this response placed here might seem odd, I've read some of your diatribes and perused your profile; and I've reached the point...... Rant on! Michael, I've read some of your diatribes regarding ProDommes and well, they make me SICK! But I've heard such as yours before and sadly, I will hear it again, I suppose. And often, from the ill informed! Thank mercies the battle has lessened! For your information, recently the well-reknown and greatly respected SOUTHEAST LEATHER FEST invited me, a Professional Dominatrix, to join the board of SELF as ProDomme Community Liaision and host a ProDomme Discussion Panel as well as a Spanking Booth collecting funds for the NCSF. Needless to say, it was a smashing success. And to hear the legendary Viola Johnson personally welcome, acknowledge and THANK the ProDommes in attendance for their support -- well, that was supreme validation for us as well as conveying a long-overdue message of ACCEPTANCE for Professional Domination within the Leather Lifestyle!! Might I ask how someone who has only "10 years of online experience" profess to know regarding actual ProDommes - and no, I refer not to some of the posers here listing "Lifestyle" on their profile and then demanding tributes -- what do you know of actual ProDomme'ing? And even worse, who are you to judge to ProDommes within the Lifestyle community. Vulture - my ass! What have YOU done lately for the lifestyle community? I've been affilifated with BDSM for twenty years. I do not solicit clients from the lifestyle. They come to me! And I can assure you that I have done more, given more, worked hard for, spent more time in, enoyed, struggled, learned from, shared, donated to, fought for, taught, cherised and LOVED the leather lifestyle community MORE than you, obviously from facts taken from your profile of your "online" status, have ever had or done! How dare you judge me, a ProDomme AND a Lifestyle Mistress, as to the *reality* of me, my validity or my support and aid to the lifestyle community! ProDommes merely provide a service. Leather history has proven ProDommes to be valuable and vital components to the leather world. ProDommes often are the FIRST on the chopping block as to standing up against legal and moral predijuices cast on kinksters by vanilla society. ProDommes are often on the cutting edge of promoting leather awareness and sharing legal issues. ProDommes often work for charities such as the Free Speech Coalition and the NCSF. ProDommes are the first to offer counseling and even an ear for those confused and troubled by their BDSM needs or fetish desires. ProDommes build dungeons for lifestylers to come and play. ProDommes sponsor events. ProDomme have a plethora of knowledge due tothe volume of the experience and they are more than willing to share that knowledge. ProDommes teach classes, educate and so much more! Cases in point... Cleo DuBois and the S&M Academy of Arts Lady Catherine Gross and The Servant's Retreat Ms. Whip and 1763 Master R. of Le Domain Esemar and their lovely Mistresses Mistress Cyan and DomCon LA and Atlanta, a lifestyle and ProDomme convention I could go on and on and on and on! Are there users here, YES! Are there nefarious types and liars in the Pro world just as there are in the lifestyle world, YES! Are there passive-agressive submissives, YES! Are there good ProDommes, YES! Are there bad Tops, YES! Are there bad cops, doctors, lawyers, YES!! All walks of life and profession are susceptible to manipulaters, users and ill-willed folks as such is life! To stereotype, to cast predijuice on a whole sector and to judge.... is WRONG!! Get your facts straight and get some more real-time experience and knowledge before you cast such vile judgements as ProDommes being vultures. Hogwash! Truly, Lady T.
