Stockroom is Going to DomCon! Are You?

DomCon is coming to Los Angeles again. Anyone who loves the sight of an elegantly fearsome woman holding a whip, cane, or paddle will feel a shiver from head to toe at those very words. For the kinky, it's like saying "Santa is coming — and yes, he finally brought that damn pony!"

Even better? Stockroom is packing up our best goodies and getting ready to attend.

Now in its 22nd year, DomCon is an unabashed celebration of female Dominants, organized by Femme Dommes — in particular, Mistress Cyan, who is herself an institution of Los Angeles Kink. She started DomCon because of a longstanding problem in BDSM communities: Although professional Dommes were a vital part of the lifestyle, they weren't welcomed into community organizations and online spaces. Their very professionalism made them persona non grata.

DomCon represents not only a space for the professional dominants, but for those who appreciate them. It's a common misconception that DomCon is only for professional FemDommes, and that's one of the first things that the FAQ puts to rest:

DomCon is for everyone with an interest in the BDSM, Fetish or Leather Lifestyle. It is open to all genders and lifestyles regardless of sexual orientation. Some people have mistakenly assumed that DomCon is for ProDommes or Female Dominants only because DomCon is the only event that brings the professional and lifestyle people together. DomCon welcomes both experienced and those who are starting to explore and looking to learn.

This year's schedule includes events ranging from the playful to the serious: A Kitty Parade, a Pony show, an informal tea party for Mistresses, classes on BDSM and the Law, Kinky Pilates, Recovery in the Lifestyle, and so much more.

There's far too much to cover here, but rest assured that we will be there. In fact, we're going to help out with the "Kinky Santa" role that we mentioned in the first paragraph. We're in the process of packing up VIP bags for the presenters and a gift basket to be raffled off for charity.

What will be in the basket? Vanilla Santa never tells, and neither will we. But rest  assured that it's going to be brimming over with everything you need to get put on the "naughty" list for all time.

In addition, you'll be able to "customize" your naughtiness when you drop by Torture Garden's vendor booth. They'll be carrying several of our finest products, and of course, DomCon will provide you with plenty of opportunites to try them out.
