Apply for a chance to worship at the feet of these Great Mistresses in New Orleans.

I’ve finally arrived in N’Awlins! I’ll be here for the next week for the extraordinary French Quarter Fest!

I’m delighted to announce I’ll be doing double sessions with the alluring and elegant disciplinarian and Southern Belle, Ms. Erin Elizabeth. To apply for a chance to worship at Our feet, go to Schedule A Session.

Today, I proudly unveil a sneak peek of a brand new photoset I did with My dear friend, slave boy julia, late last year. The full set will be available for purchase soon!

Some time ago, internet breadcrumbs led Me to the Wikipedia entry on the notion of tribute, and it occurred to Me, even within the first paragraph of that entry, how appropriate – and important – the history of tribute actually is to the business of being a Princess (no pun intended) – or any kind of Dominatrix or Dominant Woman, really. If you have ever served or considered serving a Dominant Woman, I recommend you read on – no slave nor submissive should be without a keen understanding of the meaning of tribute or service as it relates to their Domme.

Historically, tribute was paid by an inferior political entity to a superior one.

“A tribute (from Latin tributum, contribution) is wealth, often in kind, that one party gives to another as a sign of respect; or, as was often the case in historical contexts, of submission. (…) To be called “tribute,” a recognition of submission by the payer to the payee [recipient] is normally required.” (Source: Wikipedia)

The payment of tribute, thus (whether in money or in kind), implies the acceptance, by the payer, of an inferior position.

Furthermore, the payer of a tribute is not to expect services in return. Typically, tribute was paid so that the inferior entity would be tolerated, or not pillaged:

“Raiders, like Vikings and Celtic tribes, could also exact tribute instead of raiding the place if the potential targets agreed to pay an agreed amount of valuables. (…) Tribute was not always money, but also valuables [or in My case, also services], effectively making the payers hostages kept unpillaged in exchange for good behaviour.” (Source: Wikipedia)

If a payer were to expect some service in return, this would fundamentally change the relationship. The political position of payer and recipient would become leveled (at best), and imply no submission of payer, or superiority of recipient. The payer would no longer be a tributor, but a client or business partner. For example,

“The large sums, essentially protection money, paid by the Roman and Byzantine Empires to barbarian peoples to prevent them attacking imperial territory, would not usually be termed “tribute,” as the Empire accepted no inferior political position. Payments by a superior political entity to an inferior one, made for various purposes, are described by terms including “subsidy”.” (Source: Wikipedia)

In this case, the Empires were not tributors – not only because they did not accept an inferior political position, but also because they received services in return for their payment, which helped remove the taint of submissiveness from what could be construed as an act of tribute.

The payment of tribute, thus, is NOT made in exchange for any goods or service, but for the sheer privilege of being allowed to EXIST IN THE PRESENCE of the superior [political] entity.

In this case, that entity is the Dominant Woman, and what this means for hopeful (or serving) slaves and submissives is that any tribute they offer a Dominant Woman, whether in coin or in kind, must come without the expectation of anything in return. Tribute and service are given freely, of one’s own will, as a demonstration of submission and admiration – and in hope for a Dominant Woman’s continued tolerance of said submissive in her space, be it physical or virtual. A submissive should derive immense pleasure from being able to ease their Dominant’s life by the contribution of their service, i.e., tribute.

I want to thank My dear fans and O/our dear friends over at Footnight International for My second annual nomination for Footnight awards!  This year brought with it an unprecedented THREE nominations. Among them are Sexiest Feet, Most Fascinating and Captivating, and Power Promoter! I am so grateful to all of you for your continued support of these twinkly toes!

Those of you who have seen My feet know they pass muster even for vanilla print advertising. My toes go in a steady, gradual line from the pinky to the big toe (no one protruding toe), My soles are soft and always pedicured, and I have beautiful long nailbeds that are the envy of all My pedicurists!

A little on My history with Footnight:

I was first introduced to Footnight in 2007, when I met one of My earliest mentors, Princess Kali. 2 years later, I attended My first of many Boston Footnights (March 2009), and in July of 2009, I also attended My first Footnight outside of Boston – right here in Los Angeles! It’s hard to believe I’ve been coming to Footnight for almost been 6 years!

Until 2013, that was My only non-Boston Footnight, but My attendance in the last year and a half has been far more regular. In both of the award years covered by that period, My adoring fans and the good folks at Footnight have been kind enough to nominate Me for awards. I’m grateful to you.

Vegas was most fun, and there were, for some reason (hahahaha), a LOT of ballbusting sessions. =D Here’s a review from one happy customer – and a picture of My foot just about to make contact with his balls =D

Dear Princess Marx, Thank you for the wonderful time, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I enjoyed so much about you.  I am a little sore and there is a some swelling and bruising which of course I like.   I am somewhat disappointed in myself for not taking more and especially for not taking you up on your clothes pin offer. I must not have been thinking clearly on that one.  I am very glad that I came to see you, and you for seeing me, the main point would be I WANT MORE!!!!      Sooo come back soon!!!!!          bottoms up   – D

Bet you wish you were him, dontcha?
