The short competition will consist of a few questions, a grab bag of
tricks, and the opportunity to wow the audience with any particular
skill, talent or interest you possess. Although the audience will
judge contestants, The Baroness will have the final say, and can
easily be bribed (a good bottle of champagne is always persuasive).

the first runner up will receive a $50 certificate, and everyone else
gets the pleasure of a good time and comps for The Baroness’ Fetish
Retinue party.
