There will be an opportunity to share your experiences and we will have a large selection of play and permanent collars on hand to try out. Lady Steele identifies as a femme Alpha leather slave.

The trials and tribulations of anyone who travels in the field of the fetish world can be very daunting and enlightening. Based on one man’s experience, this is very challenging, yet, meaningful in terms of how to handle himself in the throes of BDSM as well as taking those lessons and applying it to regular, vanilla life. Let’s discuss how someone can turn anything into a positive and learning lesson, even in the face of negativism in a place that misleads all into thinking there is solace in its being. Chucky (Houseslave2000), who has been a part of the NYC fetish scene for over 25 years, is inconspicuous, yet, fairly recognizable! He has been a houseboy at almost every known dungeon (The Parthenon, Pandora’s Box, The Den of Iniquity, Arena/Blaze,The Crown/Taillor Group, Nutcracker Suite, etc.) in NYC, while serving some of the most prestigious Dommes (Even having an integral role in the ‘development’ of some) in the scene. He thrives in intense scenes and has been known to be a bit playful while at the mercy of Sadists who only want to see him suffer. When he is not in service, you may see him behind some bar at a fetish event, holding and serving you drinks with a big smile.
