This is a long thread and I'm not sure who might have been mentioned already, so forgive me any repetition!
When it comes to female tops, I've always had a huge thing for Kelly Payne. She's very pretty in a domme-next-door kind of way, and she gives a great no-nonsense scolding! Clare Fonda is another long-term crush.
'Pixie' Amber Wells has always been a delightful spankee. She comes across as quite demure - not an easy thing to do when you frequently get your bottom bared for a living! She also seems to have a lot of fun with her kink, which is appealing to me. I always liked the 'Punished Brats' blooper videos - rather than spoiling the illusion of real punishment, I thought they actually made the whole thing sexier because they showed how much the participants were enjoying themselves.
As a rule I most appreciate the actresses who don't go over the top. Quiet confidence in a dominant lady and stoicism in a spanked girl get my vote! Shrieking from either party puts me off
