I love tributes. I love getting cold hard cash delivered to My bank account, to My greendot card, and right into My perfectly manicured hands. It seems that some slaves do not know the difference between a tribute and a payment, and it’s something that I would like to clarify.
A tribute is not a payment, because a tribute is, in a sense, a form of worship. It is giving freely to the beautiful Princess (Me) for nothing more than to make Her (Me) happy. There is nothing expected in return. Just because you tribute does not entitle you to anything. By tributing, there are so many elements and feelings that go into it. you do it because you are thankful for everything that your Goddess has given you, for Her existence, and because with each tribute Her bank account grows, possibly places a smile on Her face, and She is able to pamper Herself with it however She pleases. It is self-less. Giving a tribute is enjoyable, because the image of Her having it in itself is beautiful, haunting, and something that you feel in your very bones.
A payment is just that. you may pay Me to do a teamviewer session, or if you’re lucky, a cam session. you pay to talk to Me on the phone. you pay for My videos, My picture sets, My mp3 files, etc. This is all necessary as it furthers your addiction to Me, and with each click gives you just another glimpse into My wonderful life, into My intricate and brilliant mind, and with each click brings you that much closer to Me. you become hypnotized, engrossed, humbled, humiliated, and for your payment you are getting something in return.
I had a slave who was very matter-of-fact about serving. it wanted to be processed as a slave, treated like everyone else, and did not like
the term “tribute.” Up until that point, I had not really thought much about the difference between the words tribute and payment. It did not seem to matter much to Me at the time. However, upon reflection, by receiving a “payment” it is something like a business exchange. A payment assumes that something will be received in exchange for it. you make payments on your house or car, you make payments on large purchases – however, I am not something that can be paid off, not in installments, not all at once – I am priceless. The D/s relationship that you may build with Me could not possibly have a price tag. Gazing into My large, beautiful eyes is priceless. My eyes, My body, My mind – none of these things are for sale. They never will be. I am, have always, and will always remain priceless. I can put a price on a picture, or a video, or an mp3, but as far as making payments to Me – I do not like the idea in the least.

I am not a product. Therefore, you don’t make payments to Me. I am a Domme because that is who I am. I am a financial Domme for many reasons, some of which I have covered in previous blog posts, and reasons that I will cover in further blog posts. But, what it comes down to, is that I seek power, control, and I do not like to dwell and live in a fantasy. I like real servitude. I like real submission. I like to play, live and exist in the real world – and what is more real than the money in your bank account? If money is power, then you are transferring your power over to Me, thus making ME more powerful.
So you see, there is a fine line between payment and tribute. At first it seemed to Me to be an unimportant distinction, but the more I thought upon it, the clearer it became to Me that there IS a big difference. We give meanings to words for a reason, and sometimes it is important to reflect on what those meanings are to us individually.
