NORTHRIDGE, Calif.—As the rain fell outside Saturday night, dommes, subs, slaves, producers, actors and fans of femdom content gathered inside a San Fernando Valley studio to celebrate the first-ever winners of the newly created Femdom Awards and to celebrate the genre with like-minded fans.
Big winners of the evening included Maitresse Madeline and Aiden Starr, who each won in multiple categories, as well as MeanBitches.com and Severe Society.
The event was sponsored by King Adult Broadcast Network and Clips4Sale.
The evening kicked off with a performance by Los Angeles-based glam/power pop band Feral Vinca before event organizer and Mean Bitches director/producer Glenn King and domme and Evil Angel director Aiden Starr introduced the co-hosts for the evening, Pheonix Marie and Maitresse Madeline, and trophy girl Necro Nicki.
Before the festivities officially began, King thanked everyone in attendance, as well as those who produce and star in femdom material, noting that when he started in the business in 2002 there were only a handful of people making femdom content. He said the idea to create the Femdom Awards came after more than a decade of attending other awards shows.
“I thought we were invisible,” he said. “We were competing in specialty categories,” he said, noting that femdom is a small but tight community.
“We, by nature, are deviant people,” he said. “We are freaks. We are kinky. It is time for us in the femdom world to stand up and be recognized.”
The awards were announced in groups of four, separated by more Feral Vinca performances and stand-up routines by Los Angeles comedian Julio Gonzalez.
Attendees of the event included Lily Cade, Cindy Starfall, Raven Bay, Raven Rockette, Dee Severe, Jimmy Broadway, Abella Danger, David Christopher, Daisy Ducati, Chloe Amour, Ruckus and Marcelo, who gushed in his acceptance speech for Sub of the Year that director and fellow performer Maitresse Madeline pushed him to his limits, breaking him down enough that he cried for the first time in more than 10 years.
“But I’m not an actor,” he said. “I’m just a prop that gets beat up a lot.”
