How did these women break the mold and build reputations for being as-- or even sometimes even more-- brutal than the boys. What goes through their mind as they deliver a blow or pierce the flesh, what drives them to push the envelope even further and take our breath away. Come celebrate these endearing and sadistic women.

Come hang out with some fun and kinky people on a Saturday night!

Be you the grizzled private dick or a dangerous thug, the deadly femme-fatale or the naive ingenue, join TES on Saturday, October 7th, for a night of kinky fun right out of classic Hollywood!

Once upon a time, Odile wondered where we as kinksters came from. Probably not the stork, although YKINMKBYKIO. After a few conversations with fellow kinksters about what happens when a Leather Top and a Bootblack love each other very much, she realized leather wasn't a reference to materials for floggers and whips; Leather is a Community and a Tradition. Generally thought to have developed out of post-WWII biker culture, Leather evokes imagery of Marlon Brando in The Wild One and gay Leathermen declaring their pride at events like Folsom. Leather can include individuals of every race, background, identity, and orientation, and represents a vital part of our history as a community. Odile is filled with a burning curiosity to understand what Leather is, what its relationship to the larger kink scene is, and to learn about its history. If you, like Odile, want to know more about this rich and storied community and its role as the progenitor of the modern kink scene, come watch as a panel of Leather folks school Odile on what it means to be part of the Leather community. Leather Academy Faculty: Sara_Vibes girlstacey Stacey Rose is Ms. FLAG (Fits Like A Glove) 2016. She has identified as a Leather girl since 2010 and has been active in the NYC, Los Angeles, Austin, and New England Leather communities since then. She is the President of the Connecticut girls of Leather, the former VP of Los Angeles girls of Leather, as well as the former facilitator of Masters and slaves Together (MAsT): Hartford. Her biggest fetishes are authority transfer and community service. Ninjajuicer And more to come!

A continuation of last months discussion: For most people in the scene, sex and kink go hand in hand. But what about when it doesn’t?
