It takes *nothing* to "be a Domme" if all one has to do is set up a site, begin ranting on about how one is "G*ddess B*tch Divine Queen!" etc and pose for a "skewer up the bum" photograph! Ladies who do that head high pose don't quite realise, that, unless done properly, the result is less "visibly-dominant" and more "gigged-frog in appearance.

In actuality, the more power one *actually* wields, the *less* "commanding" one has to behave. When was the last time anyone say Queen Exizabeth II or the Pope make an inperious or haughty gesture or say a commanding word? Certainly they do not *ever* pose for those imperious photos! TRUE power, world power, is carried *graciously*. True power is never snappish or violent. It does not NEED to be! (this is one reason I do *not* respect our President! he is SUCH a soi-dissant "cowboy" he makes powerful people cringe to watch him!)

If any Dominant, Female or male, desires to be truly powerful, then *study* those who ARE truly powerful! Ask yourself, how did She/he GET there? Except for hereditary rule, such as the Queen or other royalty, true power arises from self control, grace and reserve, action when it is needed, knowledge and understatement!

Just a word to the wise out there. If you feel you have to stamp, scream and pose with whips, kneeling slaves and leather to be noticed, re-think your own power and what it arises from. You may not be the Domme you think you are!

~shrugs~ I was always taught everyone's kinks were Ok as long as they were SSC. I really don't think it's my call to judge others. If it works for the...God speed.

Back in our day it was diffent all right. Back when we had to make our own leather from the cow, when all we had was rocks and sticks to hit each other with- or sometimes bob, but he was heavy and hard to aim. They just don't know, these kids.

I have seen this behavour from both supposed long timers as well as the newbies.
Bottom line..too bad some sort of training isn't required for Dominants (as it generally is for subs) and isn't it a shame that there simply is no rule book to refer to, for Dom/mes.

Yes, there are many that seem to pop up everyday all over the net. Claiming a title (i.e. Mistress, Domina, Goddess, Master, etc.) is nothing. Earning the title is a privelege, and only should be used by those with the skills. If I were a sub/slave I would be very cautious of someone extremely new.

For those, who seek the services of a Professional Domina, do your homework.

For the newbies, pick up a book and read!!!!

Regard,
Mistress Isadora
