Domspeak Forums Discussions Lobby Recognized in Public

The coolest thing happened yesterday. I was at a fetish shop in Fort Lauderdale and another shopper recognized me from the videos I've done. He was excited to meet me and even asked for a selfie with the both of us. It made me miss filming even more. Who doesn't like playing a celebrity princess for a day? It made me wonder, too, what other's experiences has been when you see someone you know from the scene in public has been like. Have you ever seen recognized someone from the scene or been recognized yourself?

What fun! Do you go to the Fetish Factory parties in Fort Lauderdale? I think they still have them but am not certain. That could be a good outlet for you to play celebrity princess for the day. That is a cute term. It suits you well.

My websites were among the first femdom sites in the 90's. So, they got a lot of attention as there weren't that many for a couple of years. It resulted in me being recognized a lot. No one was ever inappropriate. So it was actually fun while it lasted. I have run into clients in uncomfortable places, like my daughters school art show. Again, those moments were handled well by everyone. On the contrary, what I didn't like was attending fetish events because of the attention. It felt like I had to perform instead of having personal fun.

This was eons ago, or so it seems, the late 1980s in Manhattan. A Mistress I had seen off & on around three or four times was walking down Sixth Avenue near my office around West 20th Street at lunchtime. I did a double-take. It was early Autumn and her long ash blonde hair was blowing in the breeze. She was in her mid 40s, petite, in black sunglasses, a fashionable tan turtleneck sweater, corduroy dark brown jacket and skirt. Even though covered up, she couldn't hide her hourglass figure. And she had long brown high heel boots on. Quite a site. I was going around the corner, but decided to wait and see if I was correct. I was. She only advertised in New York Magazine's old classified ad section with no pics, so she could be anonymous in public. Going home I gave her a call saying something like, "Hi! I think I saw you walking near Sixth Avenue and West 20th around noon today. Was that you?" There was silence on the phone for a few seconds. She then said sternly, "Yes, it was. But if that happens again don't ever, EVER say hello to me in public or I will NEVER see you again! And DON'T EVER do that to ANY OTHER Mistress!"

Well... it happened two more times, once with a Mistress I knew and another with a famous female bodybuilder who did dominant sessions, but I kept my mouth shut and did NOT call to make sure I was correct. Lesson learned. LOL!

When I was living in New York, I'd occasionally see a Domme. I wouldn't have even considered approaching her unless we were at a fetish venue, as you were. I've seen my share of famous people too. Living in a big city that is ripe with the rich and famous, people don't think much of it. It is exciting and all but approaching someone would be rude.

One time I was at a restaurant at a business lunch. I was with a client of mine (I do computer stuff), some of their coworkers, etc.

In walked one of the Pro Dommes I know with some business people.

She recognized me. I did a slight smile and an even slighter nod; she did the same. No one with either of us noticed anything unusual.

And that was that. We both were smart enough to know to just play it cool.

Later, when we were at a kink party, we talked about the incident, but mostly we talked about the food. It was a really good Mediterranean restaurant.
