The American public may have campaign fatigue right now, but it turns out there are still important issues to vote on. I’m referring of course to the Bondage Awards. Plenty of politicians pontificate about ‘family values’ while harboring a secret life of perverse sexual practices. Here at least you get to vote for someone who’s up front about their kinky sex. Let’s just hope none of the candidates are concealing secret lives as politicians and lobbyists. That really would be sick.
I have to admit I’d never heard of them until Ms Justine Cross blogged that she’d been nominated. I think it’s a fun idea, but I have to question the nomination process. Under the Female Dom category there are definitely some well known names (e.g. Ms Justine Cross, Coral Korrupt, Dante Posh, Lexi Sindel, etc.) but also some pretty weird choices. For example, Brenda who loves “being bound and helpless”. Or Caroline who is “a natural submissive.” Or JJ a “pin-up and bondage model.” I’m sure they’re great people, but they don’t strike me as candidates for female dominant of the year.
I’m also not really sure how you’d judge such a thing. It can’t be for hottest femdom film or site, because some of them don’t produce porn. It doesn’t appear to be for contributions to the kinky community or being an ambassador for BDSM. So presumably it’s simply for being a general fantastic female dominant. That would seem to be a hard thing to assess without actually playing together.
Really what they need is a submissive man to session with all the candidates and guide the judging process. Much like the Oscar judges get sent copies of movies, this man could be packed up and sent between the finest dungeons in the land. He’d have to be experienced (say late 30’s), happy to document his scenes and located close to a lot of the candidates (the West coast perhaps). Obviously he’d need to be tactful and polite (maybe from a country known for such things) and of high moral standing (I’m going to call this one optional).
While the hunt goes on for such a rare and exceptional submissive, I’ll leave you with an image featuring two of the Female Dom candidates for 2012. This is Lexi Sindel and Coral Korrupt inspecting a well beaten slave.
I believe this image is from a Femdom Empire shoot.
The poll workers at my ward looked absolutely nothing like that…
Hey hmp! Nice to hear from you. I was beginning to get worried, as your last blog post was back just before the big storm. Hope you made it through that without major issues.
Sadly, as I don’t have citizenship, I’m not yet eligible to vote and haven’t had chance to check out my local poll workers. But I’m willing to bet mine don’t bear much resemblance either…

I think I meet most of the requirements paltego and, I’d provide my own transportation. I am however from a country where nearly half the folks are rather ethnocentric and self-centered buffoons.

When it comes to the transportation I was thinking that being packed up and shipped between dungeons might be part of the fun. The crated slave is certainly a common theme in BDSM fiction at any rate!
The country requirement was more of a suggestion than anything, and could probably be waived for the right candidate 🙂

Ah, the crate! Wasn’t thinking about that….shame on me. I’m sure it would be more economical than a first-class ticket.

Are you volunteering to be this submissive man? 😉
When I wrote that original description it never occurred to me that I’d somehow be the ideal candidate. But now I look at it, strangely enough, I think I might just be the perfect submissive for the role. :). It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it…
