I met Domina Lilith at Kinkfest 10. She was fending as the Frugal Domme and sold me my very first cane. I likely wouldn't have considered it otherwise, but someone I recognized from the Seattle kink community came up to us with a small armload of canes and raved about how his favorite cane maker was vending at the convention. My boy, an experienced leather fag, tested out one of the canes and started drooling. If I remember correctly, he was impressed at the cane whipped back and forth in a straight line rather than attempted to make an oval in the air. He also said something about not being able to easily find the midpoint in the cane where it'd bend. At that point, I gave up, strolled over and started looking. She greeted me and I admitted to being a complete novice at caning. She not only approved my choice of "Big Emma," she invited me to test it out on her attending bottom and didn't frown upon me excusing myself to request his consent before letting rip. She coached me a little on my technique, allowed me to browse a bit more before purchasing, described some items to me, noted my interests and sent me on my way.

The cane went over really well at that night's play party. hee hee.

The next morning, Domina Lilith was charming enough to let me know that a misnomer I'd granted one of her products caught her attention so much that she was willing to trade me use of it for a specific item that suited my interests. It did indeed. I plan to bring it to the next WWC meeting: it could catch on up here. Similarly, the Domina charmed my boy quite a bit, and we have at least one friend / acquaintence in common. Both a lovely coincidence and equally lovely lady.

I remember meeting Domina at a rope event in Modesto, back around 96 - 97. At first I was not sure what to make of her, but then after time I got to know her and found her to be one of the most delightful people I knew. I enjoyed watching her all those times at The Overlook followed by all the laughing at good tales. Then to have her join me on my radio show, with Mistress Steele, to do an awesome interview.

Domina is one of the best people I know in the Lifestyle.

I consider her to be one of my mentors-by-default. I admire her integrity, loyalty, warm heart and thoughtful nature. Then again, you HAVE to admire someone who can create a toy, &^%$ you up with it, and smile graciously all the way. I owe to her a lovely cutting that, to this day, draws admiring responses. She is the Martha Stewart of kinkery. Woot!

Lilith is a good slapper.
