I don’t know if this would be considered Femdom or not, but it sure looks like it.
The Yaffa Cafe in New York.
I know little to nothing about the place but saw this while walking by and couldn’t help but take a snap.
This beggs the question. Is it or isn’t it femdom?

I’ve definitely stopped by this sign before and thought to myself, She’s pretty slammin’. Whether “slammin” constitutes femdom, I’m not sure. She also looks like she’s performing in some way, dancing or singing. But the teeth and the hat just sorta scream in charge, I think.
Yaffa Cafe is sort of middle easterny fare. It’s okay. You know. Good hummus.
I ate there!
Right before I got my hood pierced!
Ahh…memories…
Never been there.
To me, it depicts an exciting, vibrant woman with a talent for performing–certainly no wallflower. Those traits certainly *can* belong to dom women, but they can also belong to submissive women, and to women who don’t identify with any d/s role. To me, it’s a cool lady, but not necessarily a dom lady.
Can’t say I’ve ever thought of Yaffa as femdom. The inside kind of looks like Betsy Johnson’s wet dream: gaudy sconces and animal prints galore.
If anything, I think of the lady as being in some kooky cabaret.
But your interpretation is fun too!
Have you seen the NYT Style Mag this Sunday?

yeah, i’ve been passing this place for 10 years. whoever said it’s betsey johnson’s wet dream hit the nail on the head. so is simone’s on the corner, owned by the same people.
axe, it must be her hat. if she wasn’t wearing that police officer-looking hat, i bet you wouldn’t think that.
