Over 1600 Kink Lovers Flock to DomCon LA 2017

July 17, 2017 By Jay E. Moyes 1 Comment

Los Angeles, CA – DomCon Los Angeles, the world’s premier professional and lifestyle domination convention was a huge success this year with over 1600 people attending. The event was May 17-21, 2017 at the Hilton LAX. The crowd was filled with BDSM enthusiasts, the kink curious, and high profile adult stars Nina Hartley, Irene Boss and Jewel Marceau, just to name a few.

Walking about the convention floor were fetish models wearing latex catsuits, dresses and hoods. Dominatrixes were clad in custom leather and boots. Vendors offered novel and perverse sex toys, along with electrifying fetish fashions. In the crowd were cosplayers, human pets in a variety of animal costumes, and elegant cross dressers. Regularly appearing onstage were rope bondage suspensions, whip demonstrations, spanking and burlesque dances.

Opening ceremonies were packed this year, and even shuttles to the Sanctuary LAX venue were standing room only. It marked the first awarding of the BDSM Hall of Fame winners. Among the initiated this year were Mistress Precious, Simone Justice, Mistress Tara Indiana, Domina Angelina and Mistress Servalan.

This year marked the first official “Kitty Parade,” through the vendor area, led by Mistress Porcelain Midnight in cat persona. Her human feline entourage followed, along with some pony players and even a
few puppy play friends.

First place in the pet show this year was Mistress Molly, who arrived as the unicorn pet of Mistress Porcelain Midnight.

Winners from the pony show on Saturday were Speckles, for the “High Point” award, Ms Mystie for “Best Trainer,” and Windu, for “Best in Show.”

The Whiplr Elite Lounge, hosted by Simone Justice, was a success at DomCon this year, offering Whiplr members a chance to get away from the crowds and socialize during the event. Among their guests were Mistress Bella Bathory, Snow Mercy, and Goddess Anat.

It’s not all about Femdom though. Master Kane was among the special guests of honor. DomCon also featured the Male Dom Social on Saturday, and Sir Valentino hosted a special Master/sub social on Sunday.

“This was Flirt4Free’s first time attending DomCon, and it was such an amazing and fulfilling experience,” said community outreach manager, Karly Kroft, Fetish Community Manager of Flirt4Free. “We were able to recruit some really great fetish broadcasters who we are very excited to have on our network. The connections we made are priceless, and we were so grateful for the warm and engaging welcome from the Kink Community!”

Vendors came from near and far to show off their latest innovations. Baroness brought her famous latex fashions from New York. Nix of Firebird Leathers displayed her “dragon scale” aluminum garments and light up feather Mohawk headdresses. Yet what got some of the most attention was the ultraviolet sex toy sanitizer from Kim Airs at the Leather by Danny booth.

“On behalf of myself, the staff and volunteers of DomCon LA, vendors, and our special guests, thank you so much for coming,” said Mistress Cyan. “We are grateful to everyone who came, and participated. Our kind thanks go out to the army of volunteers that make this event possible, and to our sponsors, Whiplr, Kink.com, Stockroom, and AVN.”

Mistress Cyan and the DomCon board are making strides in debuting a DomCon London or Australia event in the future. The next expo is DomCon New Orleans in October 5th-8th, which will include a fetish parade down Bourbon Street. Go to DomConNOLA.com to learn more.

DomCon LA: Everything BDSM!

Now in its tenth year, Mistress Cyan’s DomCon Los Angeles has grown from a small three day exhibition (at the Beverly Garland Motel in the San Fernando Valley – I was there!) to this lavish five day spectacle, truly “The World’s Premiere Professional & Lifestyle Domination Convention.” Now ensconced at the Los Angeles Hilton Hotel LAX, DomCon runs from May 18th to May 22nd.

Many people have asked me, both in person and in print, “Where do I begin?” With the “Bureau of Misinformation” that is the Internet, “Fifty Shades…” fantasies and the mainstreamization of BDSM, finding out where to start can be a daunting task.

Here at Kink Weekly we have tried to unconfuse you; articles such as “Where Do I Begin?” aims to help newbies get started on the right track. But words have limitations. And DomCon LA is a real life, real time event that is the perfect place to begin your BDSM journey. (Or expand on the journey you are already on.) And though the event remains true to Mistress Cyan’s original vision as a Professional Domination-oriented event, it’s “not only about Dommes anymore!” It is now a truly “one-stop shop” for all things BDSM.

Vendors

Need a new flogger? DomCon is almost literally a “Floggers ‘R Us” store. Almost any toy and invention you have seen or even thought about can be purchased here. Need a throne for humiliation play? You might be stressed to go into Target and ask if they sell one. But here, not a problem. Glass dildos, check! Clamps, canes and cuffs, check! Electrical toys, check. And if it is fashion that floats your boat, how about a custom corset? Or some bondage jewelry? Or leather? Or latex? It’s all here. Getting the right fashion and fetish gear is a lot easier in person than via the Internet.

By now you get the idea. All BDSM, fetish and alternative lifestyle items under one roof. Too bad it isn’t open year round!

Demos

Want to know how it is done? Or, if you are experienced, want to see how other lifestylers scene? At DomCon, there is no shortage of BDSM demonstrations. Continuous live stage performances of all orientations are featured on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And, of course, the vendors are only too happy to explain – and demo – their wares.

Workshop and Seminars

There are workshops and seminars of every description – from beginner to advanced and every orientation — throughout the Convention’s run. (This is a much better Convention that the political ones. Who knows, you might find Donald Trump here in disguise!) Just a few of classes that are scheduled: Basic Flogging, Foot Fetish, Should I Go Pro?, Medical Play, Single Tails, Pony Play, Aftercare, Blaise Wrap, Chastity Play, The Science of S&M, Collars & Protocols and so much more. A complete schedule is listed at here.

The Socials

Finally, what would a grand party like DomCon LA be without the opportunity to meet potential play partners and make new friends? Of course, many people meet just milling around the hall, talking to the vendors (yes, Kink Weekly will have a booth there – say hi!) and ogling the Dommes in their hot latex! But DomCon is more than that.

There are socials for every orientation — fetishists, pro Dommes, male Doms, among others. Plus a unique variation on speed dating called the DomCon-nection. And both a Fetish Ball and a Grand Play Party to top off the fun!

So, whether you are a newbie who wants to learn about our lifestyle, an experienced lifestyler looking for a new single tail or a voyeur who just wants to watch – it’s all here in the 2016 edition of DomCon LA!
