Ms. Tara Indiana started it. Now, I don't know her personally, and I have no beef with her, but if I were going to start a project like that I'd consult with other pros; get a consensus about what qualifies someone to be in this "Hall of Fame".

And she inducted herself. In a hotel room. With two headless unknown? Dommes? present?

It's just not how I would have done it.

Also, we totally should be in it.

See my aforementioned poll where I am now "Officially" "Domina of the World" and the source.


I do know Tara. This project seems pretty in line with who she is. I also agree with her choices for the "Hall of Fame" because most of them are dommes I looked up to when I was a baby-domme. However, it's still an unnecessary patting on the back of friends. I am opposed to anything like this because there is NO WAY people will rally around it; only get pissed off. Recognizing people is great. But . . do we need more competition than we already have?

About a year ago, someone started a talk on Twitter about "electing a governing body for professional domination," and I LOST MY SHIT.

That is interesting, but Iceland is not a hub of boiler room scammers. While possible, I don't see scammers choosing a cold, highly regulated, and expensive place to set up shop. When registering and hosting a site, there are so many levels of resellers that ICANN is useless.

I just looked up DominaM.com. I'm registered in Toronto. Huh, I didn't even know that.

Well, I hate to break it to you, Domina M, but I am Domina of the Cosmos. Sorry. My source says it is true. My source is me.



Isn't there already something like this? I remember people being inducted at DomCom. But, again, people seem to just be picking friends or those who meet their approval. I probably will never meet ANY of these people's approval. It doesn't matter if people tell me I'm a legend in their eyes. I'm not One Of Them.



I like recognition. And we need to give it to each other because no one on the outside will. Remember, we're whores and gold-diggers. The Status Quo doesn't like us. We have to make our own awards and write our own herstories.

That said, I believe in consensus. Awards that just go to someone's friends or the most popular is like editing that herstory. There will be Dommes that might have actually been better than some of those receiving awards, but they're left out because they're not cool enough or whatever.



I remember this, but it was over a year ago. Unless it was a different conversation. Anyway, I asked some question: Who decides who is and is not appointed to that governing body? And why? Who decides what is "professional" and "Domination"? etc etc. Crickets.

Curses! Foiled again.

Anyway. . . I don't think this is a scam. I think it's engagement farming, and like all engagement farming, it takes a toll on the collective mental health. It's best to ignore it.

Meddling Dommes!



I think you're right. I also think they're trying to sell something. They aren't giving away those trophies for free.

Isn't it being held at some bar? They probably want to get some patrons, sell some booze...and they're piggy-backing off the mainstream rise in interest in BDSM. Can't say I blame them.
