NEW ORLEANS—Mistress Cyan recently announced the Guests of Honor for DomCon New Orleans, a professional and lifestyle BDSM expo, set to take place on Oct. 10 to 13 at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel, 739 Canal Street, in the historic French Quarter.
Presented by Bad Dragon, JustFor.Fans, Hustler Hollywood, and AVN, the show brings together professional BDSM and lifestyle kinksters through classes, workshops, socials, parties, and a show floor with the latest bondage gear, pleasure products, and fetish fashion. Dominatrixes, sex educators, photographers, and fetish models come from across the world for the convention.
Noted Cyan, DomCon founder and president, "We have a great lineup of guests of honor. Madame Navia O'Kink is coming out from Dallas. She's a leader in her leather community. Mistress Simone Kross is an international fetish model with a career in kink going back to 1995, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ms. Julie Spanks is coming out from Salt Lake City, where she runs The Mini Manor. Goddess Severa was mentored by the late Ava Taurel, and was Headmistress for Tara Indiana's Den of Iniquity in New York. Mistress Ultra Violet is joining us from Atlanta, where she's operated her own dungeon for over a decade and served as an educator for the lifestyle and professional side of BDSM. Ms. Lady runs Lady's Wicked Playground, a club in Pennsylvania, working with singles and couples, and presenting seminars at a variety of events. Coming to our New Orleans show from Los Angeles is also our good friend, Orpheus Black, who has transformed his background as a performer and D/s educator into a spiritual path, aimed to propel an intellectual evolution of Dominant/submissive relationships."
Among the classes offered at DomCon, Spanks will present "The Importance of Mentoring." O'Kink is doing a seminar on negotiation for pick-up play scenes and DomCon's flogging workshop will be presented by Black.
