QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
“The hardest part about gaining any new idea is
sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche.
As long as that niche is occupied, evidence and
proof and logical demonstration get nowhere. But
once the niche is emptied of the wrong idea that
has been filling it – once you can honestly say, “I
don’t know,” then it becomes possible to get at
the truth.
– Robert A. Heinlein

A WET BUT HAPPY LEATHER RETREAT
One of my favorite events is Leather Retreat,
affectionately called “camp.” This year they held it
at a different camp. The food was much better.
The facilities for activities are not as plentiful. The
cabins are not as nice, but the beds are infinitely
better. However, the owners, management and
staff were friendly and really great! Thumbs up for
the new camp! Thumbs down for the weather,
which was a lot of rain! And a lot of mud!
Once again I organized the Oink Cabin. Who you
share a cabin with at camp is very important. I like
sharing with people who are considerate. It also
did not hurt that two cabin mates brought a sling
for our cabin. Our biggest drama is that our cabin
decoration, a stuffed pig, was kidnapped on
Thursday. We were left a ransom note in its place.
After a cabin meeting, we drafted a statement from
the occupants of Oink Cabin. Barbara Nitke, our
official Oink Cabin Spokesperson, read the
statement at lunch on Friday. It basically said that
the pig was not a pet, just livestock, and that we
were not emotionally attached to it. And that the
only reason that the pig even made it to camp this
year was because he somehow miraculously
survived last year. Enjoy the pig. It is the policy
of Oink Cabin not to negotiate. We got the pig
back and nobody bothered with it again. By
Sunday it was wallowing in the mud outside our
cabin and a whole bunch of us had pissed on it.
The pig will definitely not be with us next year.
On Wednesday I taught a class called “Beating
Ass” and Neptune walked away with marks that
lasted a whole week. After dinner, we attended
the Meet & Greet which was a big circle with lots of
questions. I cheated and passed the embarrassing
ones to Neptune. Later in the evening, we had
some sling action in the dungeon.
On Thursday, Neptune taught the first of two
Florentine Flogging classes. I just sat and watched.
In the afternoon, I clippered his hair down into a
Mohawk. He looked so fierce! I napped until dinner.
After dinner, I participated in the NCSF Coalition
Partner call. There were three CP reps at camp and
we all did the call together.
I sent Neptune to the Naked Men’s Party,
someplace I was not allowed to go to. He was
totally naked, but I added boots, his leather
motorcycle jacket and a collar with bells on. Yum
yum! He looked woofy. He came back later and we
went down to the bonfire on the only camp night
without rain. We had s/mores. Interestingly
enough, he told me more women groped him at
the bonfire than men at the men’s party.
On Friday afternoon, I taught my “Taking It Up The
Ass” class. I got thru all the why’s and the how’s
and was just finishing up the safety so we could get
to the demo, when one of the attendees passed out.
Luckily, Neptune and another medical team staffer
were both there to help. An ambulance was called
to camp and everything turned out okay. It is
interesting that the majority of medical incidents at
camp and at other events is not related to play.
I was still feeling frisky, so Boymeat and I played
outside under a tree. I beat the crap out of him.
First his back with floggers and then he turned
around so I could punch his chest. We ended with
a single tail. And then it began to rain.
Friday night was Mardi Gras night with the Stripper
Showcase. I told Neptune weeks earlier that I
wanted him to enter. I babbled to him with ideas
of what to do and what to wear until he said,
“Master, please do not micromanage me.” So, I
backed off and did not think about it …much. I was
so excited when the time finally came. He chose
Kid Rock for his music, a song that started slow.
He came out moving slowly and bowed to each of
the judges. He wore jeans, a t-shirt, a button
down and dark sunglasses. He stripped off the
shirt and the jeans and then whipped the
sunglasses off and tossed them behind right into
the pool! He was very acrobatic with a lot of
tumbling and fancy moves that wowed the crowd.
And he stripped down all the way to a jockstrap
and then did a back flip with a twist right into the
pool. He stayed down a little while and came back
out without the jockstrap but wearing the sunglasses.
Woo woo! He tied for first place. I was very proud
of my studly boy.
On Saturday morning, I went to the Pamporium.
The Pamporium is like a spa. It is staffed by campers
doing their “chores.” Everyone at camp has 2 two
hour shifts of chores to do. There is a big variety of
jobs, including working at the Pamporium. I had a
facial first and then a foot massage and then a hot
waxing. I really lucked out with the wax because
they had an extra volunteer. So I was waxed by a
couple (Lucinda and Jason) – twice the pampering!
Ah!
In the afternoon, with the rain still on, I put
Neptune in the sling back at our cabin and did some
electrical play with him. We had a lot of cool action
in our cabin. The auction was held Saturday night.
We had won a bunch of money but did not want to
buy anyone. We gave our money to a good friend
and headed to the Barn, where I strung Neptune up
by his ankles. We then continued up to the big
dungeon and I negotiated for me and Neptune to be
suspended in Abilina’s rope and metal cage. We got
to spend some alone time above all the action.
Later that night, after midnight snacks, I gave Peace
her birthday spanking in my bed. My bed was a big
inflatable mattress on to of two regular twin beds
pushed together. I had four pillows and two flannel
top sheets and two comforters. It was very cozy
and a nice place to play. Peace liked her spanking
and I liked delivering it.
Peace had told Lucinda about the morning ritual
(coffee and canes). Lucinda loved that idea and
asked Neptune if she could bring me coffee and
partake in the morning caning. Neptune floated
the idea past me and I gave him the go-ahead to
negotiate on my behalf. I also told him to have her
bring a coffee for him as well. 8:15am! On vacation
and he tells her eight fucking fifteen AM. “But Sir,
you have a 10am play date.”
Sunday morning at 8:15am, Lucinda showed up
with coffee for us. I propped my self up with all the
pillows, sipped coffee and caned Lucinda. You know
how they teach you to “read your bottom?” Well,
reading Lucinda is a piece of cake; she smiles and
wiggles and coos.
The 10am play date was with a piss scene with
Boymeat. Only a dork schedules piss play at that
hour of the morning. But we went to breakfast and
I drank three cans of orange soda and then two
bottles of orange-carrot Snapple. Boymeat lay
down in the mud outside our cabin and various
people took turns pissing on him. I could not go
right away. I just kept drinking. Morning piss play
is not optimal for me. I like to let it out real slow
and make it last a long time. Boymeat had told us
all from the neck down. My favorite spot to pee is
right on the chest where it will run down to that little
nook in his neck right above the sternum and
overflow. Others took their turns. By the end of the
scene, I had to go again, because once I start going
I can keep going. Poor Boymeat was getting a little
cold out there in the mud and asked me to pee on
his legs to warm them up. I obliged and then did his
toes. In the end, he broke last year’s record with 12
people pissing on him.
The weather had cleared up a bit and lunch was
outside with a Renn Faire theme. There were all
sorts of activities with a wandering poet and a
chess challenge and a mime and more. The
weather had thrown the schedule off and now
Sunday was packed with the Renn Faire, the SM
Games and the Pony Show. This meant that the
Pamporium had open slots. I felt that it would be
disastrous f those volunteers did not have
appointments so Neptune and I left the crowds
behind and got Henna tattoos from Amy. I got a
beautiful heart with vines on my hand and
Neptune got a Charlie Brown armband. These
tattoos last about 2 weeks or so. We followed
that with side-by-side foot massages. Purry
Rascal did a great job on my feet. FemCar was
supposed to do Neptune’s feet but instead
obtained permission from her Master and from me
to spend the half hour sucking Neptune’s dick.
Cool! I relaxed and watched my own little porn
show.
We then headed over to the Pony Show which I
love to watch. The show was great with a lot of
diversity. Star (aka Lucinda) won Most Promising
Novice and gave me a ride in a cart. After only two
days of training, she was quite the ponygirl.
Before camp, Neptune asked for permission to set
up a scene to surprise me. I agreed because I trust
him and I knew he would figure out something fun.
Something fun turned out to be Julia. They “did” me
good. We went out and visited “neighbors”
and came back to our bed to find our 1:30am date
already in my bed. We “did” her good and then we
all slept cuddled together.
Monday was the last day and the weather was
finally sunny! We got our towels and jumped in the
pool. The water was very chilly. And then, “Daddy,
my clit is dirty.” So, we walked up the hill to the
PCW (Portable Clit Washer). It is a powerful stream
of heated water with a shower head. There was a
piece of bondage furniture and it was just lovely on
a sunny day. Perfect, except for one thing: it was
situated right outside the men only cabin. Oy!
Soon after, we packed up the car and headed
home.

NCSF HOTEL OUTREACH PROJECT
CWA attacks are continuing against hotels that
host SM events. The CWA has a petition up now
targeting IML that will be sent to their host hotels.
See http://makeashorterlink.com/?F217635E4
NCSF is producing an outreach booklet about
alternative lifestyle events and the hospitality
industry. If your group has had an especially
good experience with a particular hotel manager
or convention director, NCSF is asking that that
hospitality industry professional be solicited for a
letter or email commenting on their hotel’s
experience with your group and event. NCSF
would like to include some of this feedback from
places we patronize by way of demonstrating that
hotels have good experiences with alternative
lifestyle groups that they book.
The deadline for this project is short. NCSF hopes
to collect endorsements, feedback statements, and
positive comments during the weeks of June 9 and
June 16. (next 2 weeks).
Your timely assistance is very important in helping
NCSF respond to some time-sensitive concerns in
the hospitality industry. If you area an event
organizers, please call or email your favorite hotel
or convention managers *immediately*, and ask
if they would provide comments about your group
in email or on letterhead (letterhead is fine but not
necessary; email is more convenient and quicker to
work with).
Please be sure to inform the hotel representative
that NCSF will be reproducing some of thecollected
comments in an informational brochure, and that
the individual’s name and official title (and their
hotel name, of course) are needed on the comments.
Follow up on this later in the week, so that your
hotel contact provides feedback in a timely manner.
(Comments that arrive more than a couple weeks
out may arrive too late to be of immediate
assistance, though they may still be of use in future
projects).
Forward comments and endorsements via email to
teramis@teramis.com. If you end up with hardcopy
materials, please contact her so she can work out
with you how best to get written material to her.

TRIVIA
Miss Cleo sent me a little trivia asking me if I knew
what was the first man made object that broke the
sound barrier. She said it was not a cannon shell,
not a bullet, not a missile and not an airplane.
She told me it was a whip! The crack you hear is
the tip of the whip breaking the sound barrier.

QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
“A house is a family for those who don’t have a
family.”
– Pepper LaBeija, in “Paris Is Burning”
.
>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<
ROAD TRIP TO DC
Neptune and I hit the road to Washington, DC
on Wednesday. We love traveling in the car.
Car time is quality time. It is when we do some
of our best talking. We stayed with the Bitch of
Dupont Circle. Her sorority house is a very
welcoming place for us and she is a great host.
One highlight of the trip were going to Dave &
Busters with AJ. The three of us in kid mode.
Whee! Also went to dyke night at the DC Eagle
which had a nice turnout with both old friends and
new.
On Friday night we went to The Crucible. We
were impressed with the upgrades that Frazier has
done to the place – especially the ladies room.
We had busted our butts to get there early for the
Suspension class with Lew Rubens and Maria
Shadoes (www.boundndetermined.com). They
were late and did more of a demo than a class. I
tied Neptune in a hog-tie and sat back and watched
him struggle to get out. Then, together, we topped

BOYMEAT’S VIEW OF THE IML CONTEST
This year’s International Mr. Leather contest was
the 25th anniversary of the fabled institution, so a
big show was expected by all. And a big show was
delivered.
After a lovely opening act that included hunky
men dressed in leather shorts and masks in a
grand power struggle, the festivities truly begun.
Chuck Renslow, the founder of the original Gold
Coast Leather Bar (now the Chicago Eagle) and
IML, came out for his traditional opening speech.
Some people attend the conference to see the
hunky men, parade on the stage. Some people
attend to root for their local titleholder. Others yet
come for the entertainment. While I go for a
combination of the above, Chuck’s speech is
always something that I look forward to.
Chuck spoke of the leather scene’s great
successes, giving wonderful attention to the
growing understanding and appreciation of the
bootblack community, and the burgeoning
leather-boy clubs. He then spoke of the issues
that still surround us. The first he talked about
was the ever-existent dangers involved in
barebacking. Chuck spoke very poignantly about
this topic – “Some people would call barebacking
an informed personal decision. I call it stupid.”
The next topic he spoke about was the abuse of
party drugs. In the past year, we have seen too
many deaths caused by drug overdoses…. and
have heard and read of many other near deaths.
Chuck spoke up against this… asked of those in
the audience who planned on making drugs a part
of their evening’s festivities to look around them,
take note of who is sitting next to them, because it
may be the last time they’ll ever see them again. (I
should note that during the weekend, I was almost
attacked by someone off his rocker on crystal meth,
right in the hotel lobby.)
When all the contestants were out on stage, Guy
Baldwin came out to speak about the Leather
Archives & Museum (Located in Chicago, Serving
the World). In one year, the Archives will need to
pay the lump sum payment at the end of the
mortgage. Guy asked the audience to their best to
help pay off the sum. He suggested that all
fundraising for the year go to the Archives – a
valiant thought, but, impractical considering the
many places money is needed (the National
Coalition for Sexual Freedom certainly comes to
mind).
With that, Mr. Marcus came out and did his
traditional role of announcing the 20 finalists (there
were a total of 58 contestants this year). Now, it
must be said here… everyone who stands up there
on that stage deserves praise and respect just for
that alone. I remember when running for Gotham
Leatherman just how stressful and nerve-racking it
is to be standing to be judged. But, there must be
finalists. Us NY’ers sat on the edge of our seats
as one by one names got called out… all of the
Europeans, Texas, Chicago, California… and then,
finally… number 17 out of 20… our own Mr. LURE
Walt Weiss made the cut!
While I hear the entertainment was great, AJ and
I took the breaks as a chance to run out for a
smoke and hang out with all our friends in the
Congress Theater lobby! It’s always great to see
everyone in their finest leathers, cruising and
groping! I did a bit of that myself…
David Hawks came out to announce the
International Mr. Bootblack contest. The outgoing
Mr. Bootblack, NY’s Michael Lanzini had a lovely
step-down speech and spoke of his growth over the
year. To assist Michael in crowing the new winner,
Kari, the current International Ms. Bootblack walked
across the stage. She looked absolutely ravishing in
her hobble skirt and brand new Dehners… all the
boys were whistling and cat calling! When it was
all said and done, the muscled hunk from San
Francisco, Richie Chameroy took the title! After the
contest, all the contestants posed with Michael,
David, Kari, and the contest assistants in a group
photo. The photographers were certainly busy… I
lost count when they took the twelfth photo! Poor
Cristo, Mid-Atlantic Leather Bootblack (who was
there assisting), blinked for a long time after that.
NCSF had a banner year at this IML. Two
contestants chose to talk about the group in their
judged speeches on stage (quote of the night –
Donate today, suck dick tomorrow). Stephen
Weber, IML ’02 in his step-down speech
announced that he has signed up to be a NCSF
spokesperson! He’ll be working on the LEOP
program, promoting education to gay police
organizations. Thank you Stephen!!!!
Finally… it came down to the grand conclusion,
the sashing of International Mr. Leather 2003. 2nd
runner up is Stephen Blackwell from Los Angeles,
who spoke very eloquently about how boys can
also be leathermen (Stephen is the founder of the
LA Boys of Leather.) 1st runner up is Donald
Detson of Florida. International Mr. Leather 2003
is John Pendal, of London, a tall, woofy redhead!
Learn more about John at http://www.mrhoist.com/.
I wonder how he’s gonna get his brand new Harley-
Davidson (a part of the prize package) over to
England.. that is one heck of a drive!
Bill Stadt and company put on an amazing show
for their 25th anniversary year! And once again,
Frank Nowicki did an excellent job as MC… being
called by many that weekend the Premier Leather
emcee.

PALMER HOUSING AT IML
Every year I write about how, to me, the contest is not
the main reason to go to IML. And every year I go to the
contest and write a little about it, but a lot about the rest
of the weekend. This year, I missed the contest! On
Sunday afternoon, I started getting cranky and tired at
the CHC cocktail party. How weird because I was really
pacing myself this year. I went up to my room and
crawled into bed with stuffy sinuses and a fever. Next
week’s P+P will carry a write up of the contest by
Boymeat.
Meanwhile, despite my little illness, I had a great time
at IML It was much less frenetic than usual. We arrived
on Thursday and eased into the event. Opening
Ceremonies was our first chance to take a gander at the
56 contestants. Oh, hello, the guy from Bavaria with the
tattoos? Yum!
On Friday, we started out in the vendor market at Noon
with the Bootblacks. Back in 1999, the bootblack
community was torn by gender when the International
Bootblack contest was split into the International Mr
Bootblack contest and the International Ms Bootblack
contest. As a show of solidarity, the first shine at IML
is the male bootblack contestants shining the boots of
female bootblacks and supporters. I was honored to sit
in Bootdog’s chair. He did a great job on my oil-tanned
Wesco’s. (Hint: if you just scritch him behind his ear,
he gets really friendly.) Have you seen his site?
www.bootdog.com Very good, even though he has not
updated it in a dog’s age.
We checked out the vendor mart. Over 100 vendors! I
bought Neptune and Cherry autographed coloring books
from The Hun (perfect for kinky age play). I bought myself
some new reading material: Jack Rinella’s new book,
“Partners in Power, Living in Kinky Relationships,” Tim
Brough’s Black Gloves, White Magic” and Instigator
magazine. I also bought a black leather scented candle
from Leatherstock. Boymeat bought Georgia Boots from
LeatherWerks and a Utlikilt.
My favorite restaurant near the Palmer House Hilton is
Miller’s. We ate a few meals there. We dragged Mr
Kevin to lunch there. When I first saw Mr Kevin two years
ago, I took an instant dislike to him. But then I met him
at Dungeon last year and got to know him a little bit, and
oh boy, is he a sweet, smart, talented, cute guy and
totally not full of himself at all.
Friday was family dinner night. Let me tell you a secret
about leather families. After a while, if they don’t fall
apart, there’s drama. I met my leather family in 1995.
We are very adept at skirting around the drama. Certain
people sit at one end of the table and certain others sit
at the other end. Everybody is on their best behavior or
else they get sent to their rooms. After dinner, we did a
little party hopping at the hotel. Most of our time was
spent at the Bootblack party, but we were sure to stop
in at the Int’l LeatherSir/boy party, too.
On Saturday, we went to the Leather Archives &
Museum member meeting. Robert Davolt gave an
excellent presentation on Uniforms and how they have
influenced the leather community. The big news is that
the leaks are fixed and the balloon payment of $200K
is due a year from now. Boymeat and I then went to do
a volunteer shift at the NCSF booth. We talked to a lot
of people about NCSF’s projects and sold raffle tickets
for Intl LeatherSir/boy and Black Rose – something for
everyone! It seems that NCSF is becoming more
widely known out there and that is a good thing.
Saturday night, I had a hot date with Mommy Cara. I
kicked everyone out of my room because she wanted
some privacy for us. One of those dates where I can’t
kiss and tell…..
On Sunday, Boymeat and I did our annual solicitation
for Leather Pride Night. We got some awesome
donations. Go check out www.leatherpridenight.org
And then on Sunday night I got sick. Ugh!

room on AOL 10pm-Midnight. NOT a TES event but an
unofficial place online where many TES members and
friends hang out and talk. No set topic. It is a good place
to ask questions, debate the answers, ask and receive
advice, compare notes about the scene, gossip about
last week, plan the upcoming week, flirt a little, be
serious and not so serious. On AOL in the Town Square
area of the People Connection in a “member room” – not
private: aol://2719:61-2-Eulenspiegel not til. Add this
location to your Favorite Places Folder so that it’s easy
to come back.
Tuesday 6.2 NYC
TES Meeting: “Predicament Scenes” with Sir C.

Wednesday 6.3 NYC
TES Dominant Men/submissive women’s Group
presents “The Worlds of the Courtesan” With Michele B.
Ever wondered what it was like to serve men AND get
paid? It’s not quite what you think. Michele, an
anthropologist and long-time submissive, takes a look at
the courtesan in Eastern and Western culture. Like high
level submissives, these women learned how to be more
than a sex partner – their seductive power charmed all
kinds of men, from warriors to philosophers. 7:30pm at
75 Bleecker St, just east of Broadway. $8 ($4 for
members of TES and other SM/leather orgs). Info:
212-388-7022 or www.tes.org

QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
“Give to the world the best you have, and the
best will come back to you.”
– Madeline S. Bridges
.
>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<
TES FEST
TES Fest was a huge success. TES made a
bit of money, people had a really good time and
we had no problems with the police or the ABC
or the press. Whew! The organization really
needed a win. To tell you the truth, I needed a
win, too. I had busted my ass to do great
programming for TES30 and all anyone could
talk about TES30 was the negative stuff. It
bummed me out – I never even wrote a review.
TES Fest programming, while only half the
number of workshops (54), was raved about by
everybody there. Yay!
There were a lot of other events going on in
NYC and I would have liked to have gone to
more of them. As it is, I got to just one and
that was the Michele Serchuck opening at
Purple Passion/DV8 Friday evening. Her work
was all photos of Midori and Midori’s bondage.
I bought a color print. Laura Antoniou was
doing a booksigning there also, but we left
before she got there.
O was up for the weekend. Basically this was
her triumphant return to NYC. And in many
ways, we were back together just like old times.
Finally! She presented workshops, made me
cookies and dinner (all slop), and used my
slaveboy. On Friday night, I flogged her and
whipped her for the first time in over two years.
She bruised nicely and her cuts were beautiful.
She wore a low cut shirt to show off the next day.
On Sunday night, I put her in a sling and, well,
ya know… (Hi Al!)
On Saturday, I assisted O with a guided ritual
in her spirituality workshop. She cast a circle
and talked Neptune through a balancing journey
while I pierced four of his charka points. On
Sunday I presented Fisting and demoed with
Julia. I have a play date with her for
Leather Retreat.
TES Fest had rented Paddles for the entire
weekend but I never made it down there. The
dungeon at the Hotel Pennsylvania was really
super. Frazier of The Crucible has a knack for
transforming a hotel ballroom into a fabulous
playspace. He has great equipment, good
lighting and knows how to do a workable layout
and create ambiance. Frazier and I were the
co-auctioneers for the Celebrity Auction which
raised over $1500 for NCSF and the Robin
Quimby Memorial Fund. I was bought by
Jason, the Vice Chair of TES Fest
Programming. Jason was fabulous to work with.
He made my job so much easier. He is a wiz
with data management. Actually the whole
crew with workshops was great. SusieQ and
Lady D helped at the event and we were
marvelously assisted by Carla, James and
Pete from Ops.
Anyway my scene with Jason was put off to a
time when we would both have less distractions
and more energy for each other. But we did do
a long term bondage scene. From Friday
afternoon through Sunday night, he wore my
locked metal collar and cuffs. Beautiful, bulky
but lightweight, black aircraft aluminum. 51
hours! Yum!
.
>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<
100 DIVAS – NUMBER THREE
I am on the case with my 100 Divas.
Saturday night at TES Fest, Fifth Angel said,
“So I’ve been reading about these spankings,
and my birthday is May 28….” Ya! Gender
does not matter with my Divas project. I took
him over my knee in the TES Fest dungeon and
gave him a warm-up and then 38 plus one for
good luck and a pinch to grow an inch.
Afterwards, his butt was all tingly and he was
all giggly and happy. Hey, Fifth, that’s why
people bottom!
.
>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<
LIFE WITH SLAVEBOY – LEASHES
I love that Neptune is independent, that he can
take on community projects and teach and
socialize without me. But sometimes, I want
him with me, focused on me. This happens
more easily when we are doing our day to day
stuff. However, at events, he gets sidetracked
and people expect attention from him. Usually
I do not mind that but sometimes I want him
with me. So, I tried putting him on a leash at
TES Fest. Having the visible connection, gave
others a clue that he was unavailable, or at least
less available, to them.
I never liked leashes for non-play situations.
I felt them to be a pain in the ass for me, the top.
But now they have a utilitarian aspect for me.
.
>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<
LIFE WITH SLAVEBOY – COFFEE
O and I woke with the alarm at 5am on Monday
morning. “I think I hear a coffee grinder,” she
said.
I rolled over and groaned, “No, we don’t have
that kind of machine.” She stumbled out to the
kitchen for coffee. She found Neptune in his
work uniform making us coffee.
When the NYC street traffic dies down and
there are no calls, he can sneak away. I am a
lucky girl.

Sharon Bien was killed in a motorcycle
accident on Monday morning. I am really

Hromovy has developed a questionnaire to do
some fact finding about Disability and Aging

provide statistics and questions to Lifestyle

information will lead to timely and informative
presentations. The survey is not gender or
sexual identity specific. Any and all are
welcome to participate, in fact, the more the

QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
“All the people like us are We, and everyone else is They.”
– Rudyard Kipling

>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<>:<
I’M BAAACK!
Wow! What a vacation. I came back fully rested but now once again I
am swamped with all sorts of deadlines.
I spent my vacation sailing the British Virgin Islands on a 46 foot sloop
with Peggy aka O, her parents and Midori. O’s parents are a hoot.
Earl makes loads of bad puns and then Al hits him. We see from where
O gets her SM inclinations. Al, a long time subscriber to the P+P, has
over the years asked O such questions as “What’s a buttplug?” and
“What do you do in a sling?” It is interesting to have my girlfriend’s
Mom reading about our exploits. (Hi Al!)
We got to do a lot of fun things. Midori and I did some scuba diving,
including a two tank dive to The Rhone. We also snorkeled with O,
climbed a trail to explore the Baths at Virgin Gorda, read a lot and swam.
We ate great food: everything from lobsters to conch fritters to this kick
ass risotto in Leverick Bay.
Midori was fortunate to spend her birthday with us. I found a service
with a boat delivery that brought us a birthday cake and we surprised her.
Because she had no submissive to substitute and take her spankings, O
and I delivered them to her. Midori with a red butt! She has pictures!

AMERICAN BROTHERHOOD WEEKEND 2003
By AJ the Stalkerboy
Last June, Frank Nowicki, Max Steiner, Scott Reikofski, and Schelli
Dittmann became the new producers of American Brotherhood Weekend
taking over for Jim Cobb. I had been to ABW first in 1998 and last year JP
hooked me up with Jim and the ABW staff who very graciously took me in
and allowed me to work a few security shifts. Having as much fun as I did
last year I knew that I wanted to return and maybe do some volunteer time
this year.
With the new change of leadership, I am sure that a lot of people were
waiting around to see how the new ABW crew would workout. There are a
lot of people out there who hate change and were probably waiting for a
disaster. All that I can say is keep waiting if you must waste your time.
Change is good and this was an amazing weekend. I have never been so
proud and so honored to work with such an amazing group of people. In
just four short days I have managed to fall in love. These folks know what
they are doing and really know how to throw an event. Most important is
that they know how to treat staff and volunteers. The people who work with
the ABW team are treated with respect and dignity. While I know that
some people take offense about this being a gay event, this event needs
to be supported and embraced by all as a means to honor and support
the gay leather community.
I have noticed that in our community there are a ton of self proclaimed
Tops, Daddies, Mommies and Masters who spew on and on about the
importance of family. What is coming out of their mouths in no way shape
or form reflects what is actually in their hearts. When the ABW people
folks talk about family they mean it. This is truly a leather family event
and reunion. There is care and concern not just for the community at
large, but also for individuals.
The event started on Wednesday night at the Eagle with early
registration. This was a great chance to meet a lot of folks before the
weekend went into full swing. Thursday folks met up at Titan for a fun
night of drinks and the Feygele Feud pitting the IML’s against the ABW’s.
By Friday the event was in full swing with eye openers, cocktail parties,
receptions and off site play parties. On Saturday a very special
celebration of brotherhood was held for Jeff Baxter and Brian “Pup”
Mullikin. It was officiated by Judy Tallwing (thanks for listening to my
cat stories) and Al Santora (thanks for making me eat dinner). It was a
very nice ceremony bringing together many traditions. There were not
too many dry eyes in the house. Saturday night was a buffet dinner and
the basket auctions. The basket auctions were a lot of fun with Lenny
Broberg and Jo Arnone (thanks for teaching me how to eat beef jerky)
as the Auctioneers. The auction raised money that will be split among
the new ABW family for their travel funds (I am not sure of the amount
since I accidentally packed my notes). Funds were also raised for Judy
Tallwing’s Dandelion animal shelter in Washington State.
On Sunday the event continued with more eye openers and the
conclusion of the event. Bill Mitchell from San Diego is the new American
Leatherman, sheryl dee from San Diego is the New American
Leatherwoman and Boy Jeff from San Francisco is the new American
leatherboy. A California sweep!
At the end of the month I will be leaving DC and moving back to Chicago.
ABW was my last big outing as a DC resident and I would like to thank
the following ABW people for their friendship, encouragement and support.
Max, Schelli, Scott, Ryan and Jerry: Thank you for a wonderful event and
a wonderful weekend. Thank you for letting me in and giving me the space
to work. Thank you for taking a chance on me. Thank you for the hugs and
for sharing yourselves. Thank you for saying thank you, I look forward to
doing this again.
MJ, JP, Alex, Gloria, Ken, and Mike KZ: You guys rock! I have enjoyed
getting to know each one of you. Our talents are so varied, yet I feel as if
I were part of a World Series team getting to work with and hang out with
you. Let’s do it again.
And of course to my friend Lolita who every now and again let’s me write
articles for the P&P. Thank you for being patient with me, thank you for
giving me a place to put words to my feelings, and a big thank you for
making me up my standards.
**** Thank you to AJ Stalkerboy for writing this review. BTW AJ left out
this big news: at the event she was awarded the Jeff Baxter Award for her
service over ABW weekend. Congratulations! I am proud of you! ****

Paddles reopened again Friday night. The Oriental room with the red

LOLITA DOES LLC
The 7th annual Leather Leadership took place in Boston. The
event gets better and better every year. I especially enjoyed the
new way of doing the Caucuses. Instead of breaking us up by
region, we were broken up randomly. We sat in tables of 10 and
introduced ourselves to each other and then wrote three statements
about ourselves on paper: two truths and a lie. I wrote that I am a
famous writer, I am a vegetarian and that I have a dial up modem.
We then came to a consensus on what we believed were the three
greatest issues in the community today. We picked fear of
discrimination, religious extremists and educating newcomers
into our community.
I also really enjoyed the seminars and learned. My favorite
seminar was ”When The Stuff Hits The Fan: Managing Under Fire”
with Larry Manion and Kayte where they spoke about Beat Me in
St Louis’ tactics with the press and the hotel after being harassed
by the CWA. There was also an inclusion track with some great
workshops.
The other great thing about LLC is the networking. I was able
to connect with old friends from around the country as well as
meet some new people. Patrick Califia and I acknowledged
some old “unfinished business.” Tom Stice and I talked and
hugged. I had a hot date with a local girl.
Next years LLC will be in New Orleans. Watch

WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH PADDLES
Paddles is/was the only public play space right now in NYC and
it would be devastating for us to lose it. There are a lot of rumors
of what is going on. Some sources say it was shut down by the
health department. Some say that there are certificate of occupancy
problems. Is it one connected space with the club upstairs?
We obviously don’t know just how long it will take to resolve this
situation. TES moved last week’s party to the Nutcracker and is
hosting another one there on Saturday night. We are all
watching this very closely.

Q & A OF THE WEEK
Q. I have been given the task of finding wooden clothespins
that are American made. It is proving a difficult job. Do you know
of any way to find American made clothespins?
**** I asked Hardy Haberman to answer this. *****
A. The vanishing American Clothespin is harder and harder to
find, however there are a few places. Wal-Mart carries big 100 pin
bags of American Made clothespins in many of their stores. You
can find them under the Pliney brand or other brands. Additionally
the Diamond company still manufactures clothespins here in the
USA. American pins are usually made of harder wood and have
better springs than the Chinese imitations. Also they have fewer
splinters.
**** Thanks to Hardy Haberman for answering this question. *****

LIFE WITH SLAVEBOY
We signed a new contract. Our sixth contract. Three
years. That’s longer than the last five contracts combined.
Yikes!
This time we did it without ritual and without witnesses.
We felt we did not need these “props” because, as Neptune
said, “We’re living it.” We just got naked, consented,
signed and fucked. Mine!
Although, I suppose you could say that we have a new
ritual now. We have joined a gym…

Q & A OF THE WEEK
Q. What effect, if any, does electrotorture to the male
genitals have on sperm production? Both immediate and
long-term.
** I asked Rory from Oklahoma City to answer this one. **
A. Unfortunately there is no specific, much less
reputable study on this subject. Given that we’re not
cooking the cells in normal e-stim I would say this is
not much of an issue, especially long term. However
we could be talking about increased cancer or birth
defects, especially with the more powerful toys. My
personal and totally un-medically certified position
would be to worry more about x-ray machines and
especially MRI’s, or anything that involves iodine
injections then your average electrical session.
There are also other considerations to your question.
I don’t think any reasonable study or guess would create
a problem with sperm production but there is evidence,
however slight that you can damage the sperm DNA
with intense and long term exposure to magnetic fields.
Here is a link to some related studies:
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/FOI3.php This outfit is in my
opinion on the paranoid side and reading other articles
will give you a feeling about this one.
If you can wade through that article (and its related
ones), you will see that there is some concern over
increased cancer and Leukemia risks but not enough
proof that anyone is going to really do anything about it.
I would be more concerned about diet, including iodine,
lead and even alcohol use. Here are a couple of article links
that may shed some light for you, but be warned unless
you’re prepared for lifestyle changes they may worry you
more then your original question.

cargoes so much flotsam.”
– G. F. Daumer

LIFE WITH SLAVEBOY
This week has not been “Life with Slaveboy” because
we are in between contracts and Neptune is on slave
vacation. This should really be titled “Life with
Roommate.” Slave vacation means that Neptune has
the privileges of a free man. He has his own pillow no
matter what. As an added touch, I put a piece of
chocolate on it every night – just like a real vacation.
The combination of slave vacation and spring cleaning
is totally rocking my world. This week’s project is the
bedroom. He had warned me to rescue what I needed
for the next week and now all bets are off. He goes
to work on the room. Neither of us can stand me in
there helping/hindering him. I go out to run errands. I
make lunch. I make candles. I work on my computer.
I hear him yell, “Feng shui!!?!! I’ll show you Feng Shui!!”
Perhaps this in response to the Haiku I had written a
while back:
Slaveboy cleans my home
Tidies up my precise mess –
Fucks up my feng shui.
Some people think that slave vacation is a nutty
concept but I believe only a free person can negotiate
and sign themselves into a slave contract. It is also a
not so gentle reminder of how obedient he is on a day
to day basis. It’s so easy to get accustomed to this
and not think about it. The next contract we sign will
be for three years, however we both think that a week’s
slave vacation every April may be a good thing.

TES AND WHEELER
On Wednesday, I attended TES in its new space at 75
Bleecker Street, under VG’s restaurant. I really liked the
new space. It felt very warm and welcoming and the set
up is very conducive for our meetings. I think TES can
be very happy there.
The topic for the meeting was Single Tails. After an
intimate demo, Joe Wheeler talked to us about whips
and took questions. Joe is one of the best braided whip
makers out there. I have had a 20 plait of his since
1995 and it was my favorite whip. Unfortunately, while
Joe was scarce for a while a few years back, I had
someone else replace the cracker on the whip and
they just butchered it. It never threw the same again.
I had brought it back to Joe at BR and he said he would
try to fix it or else he would make me a new one.
Well, on Wednesday night, I got a brand new 24 plait
Wheeler signal whip. It’s a big fat beauty. I am very
thrilled. Now I have to take the time to break it in….
Thank you, Joe!

AJ GOES TO THE ONERY WOMEN PARTY
By AJ Stalkerboy
I am retail boy, which basically means I don’t get out
too much as I work weekends. I had Sunday off and I had
been seeing announcements for the OW party on several
lists that I am on so I figured I would go. As it happens
I woke up Sunday to snow and decided not to go. (And
I call myself a native Chicagoan.) Glenda talked me into
it. The ride up was a little rough but I am so glad that I
went. Glenda is a lot of fun to travel with and the Ornery
Women really know how to throw a good party.
The play space the OW had was really nice. They had
steel cages, suspension rigs and some basic equipment
made out of not so typical materials. There was a neat
cross-made out of steel (?) and Plexiglas (?). They had
really good finger foods, lots of salt and sugar. Most of
my favorites. The most protein on the table was in the
Reese’s peanut butter cups. There were two bootblacks
and JP did a great job fixing a giant gash on my left boot.
I would have to say that the play space itself was
impressive, but even more impressive were the hosts and
volunteers. Everyone was very nice and very helpful. I am
not from Philly so I did not know a lot of people there. I
cannot tell you how many people went out of their way
to introduce themselves, show me around, introduce me
to others. I know it’s hard to believe, but I am very shy,
so thanks to all those who made me feel so welcome.
One of the added bonuses was that Red was doing a
flogging demo/class. I was very interested in this as I am
(or I should say was) a horrible flogger. I don’t Top much.
Well actually I don’t Top at all. When I first came out I
tried to switch but basically when it was my turn to Top
I just ordered the other person to spank me. One of my
shortcomings as a “Top” was that I couldn’t flog. I could
spank, paddle, slap faces, pull hair And even throw a
pretty decent single-tail, but flogging was impossible for
me.
A bunch of us piled into the food area where Red gave
a talk on techniques, choosing a flogger, etc.. Felice
also had a lot of great insight. Then we all went into
the dungeon where Felice preformed a very brave act;
she let us experiment on her back.
This is what I learned. Red is a very good teacher. It is
hard for me to copy what I see without verbal interaction.
Red was able to use just enough words and verbal cues
to not overwhelm me. After some distance, timing and
confidence adjustments I really got into it. I really got
into it. I was able to find a place of peaceful
concentration and hyper focus that usually escapes
me (ADHD boy). This place was broken only when I
realized that yes I was in fact flogging someone and no
I wasn’t going to commit serious acts of injury.
So Red and Felice tell me that I am a pretty good
flogger. I am honored and grateful for the compliment.
But what does that mean to a bottom that normally does
not Top? It felt good to flog Felice. I was very into it and
yes there was a part of me that wanted to hurt her. While
my instincts to hurt were firing away in the background,
my conscious was very diligent about reminding me that
I am 1) new to flogging and 2) that this was not a
negotiated scene. But it was there, I could feel bursts of
adrenalin race even as my thoughts became slower and
my though process became more methodical.
So the questions remain, do I want to be a Top? Do I
want someone to adore me the way I adore my Tops,
clean my house, perform other acts of service and let
me hurt them? Sure, why not? It all sounds so good.
But here is where the truth lies for me. I do not think
that I could truly be happy if I identified as a Top. I also
do not identify with being a switch. I find true happiness
when I bottom to the will or whip of another. I love
performing acts of service, and I love being appreciated.
I live for the rub on the head and the words thank you or
good boy.
Will I continue to flog? Yes, if I can find people who are
willing to let me hurt them and if the situation/time is
right, I will accept opportunities to be the person “doing
the hitting”. I will not call myself a Top or a switch, nor
will I call the actions of hitting/hurting Topping. I will call
these occasions, acts of service.
So for now, I guess a life as Daddy AJ is not in the
picture for me.

serious and not so serious. On AOL in the Town Square

QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
“I think the best we can do is to assume that the right approaches
will be the ones that emerge by courageously facing some realities
squarely and honestly, without being influenced by personal agendas,
needing to paint a rosy picture of things, or needing to be ‘politically
correct.'”

THE P+P LEAVES LEATHERPAGE.COM
The origins of Lolita’s Predictions & Predilections began back in 1995.
This has always been the way I stay in contact with my friends. It is
the weekly update to what is happening in my life, what I think is
important in the SM scene and a planning tool for the coming week.
The P+P has evolved into more than a way to stay in touch with my circle
of friends and it now reaches thousands of readers per week.
For the past five years, Joe Gallagher has hosted the web version of the
P+P. Joe’s site, http://www.leatherpage.com, has been a tremendous
resource to the community, providing a space where many leather
columnists could be read. I have been very fortunate to be included.
On more than occasion, Joe and I have had editorial disagreements about
the content of my column. I have always been very clear that these views
are my own (see the disclaimer above). I want to state my opinions freely.
After much soul-searching, I have come to the conclusion that I must pull
the P+P from Leatherpage.com.
Thank you very much to Joe for hosting the P+P. It can now be seen on
the web at http://lolitawolf.blogspot.com …and of course, you can still
subscribe to it via email (LolitaSSC@aol.com)

BOND CON NYC
I went out to Bond Con in Queens for the day on Friday. What a culture
shock! The main focus was in the exhibit hall with the various bondage
models being the center of attraction. There were all types of girls (and
one guy – Delano) and they really knew how to work the crowds of
“fan boys.” The models flirted and made arrangements to be tied up by
riggers who wanted to show off their tie-up skills. The fan-boys, mainly
single men (or men without their wives), stood around and watched.
Many had cameras and clicked away. They were oddly reminiscent of
Hellfire’s wankers, but these guys had their clothes on and did not touch
themselves.
I hung out with Midori and Michael Blue and offered to perform small acts
of service. The two of them have teamed up to do a fabulous bondage
website (http://www.beautybound.com). Midori had a bondage frame with
her and suspended three different models during the time I was there.
She would look at them, study their bodies and ask them questions about
their level of experience and then just go to work. She took extra care with
a model who had never been suspended before. Once the models were up,
she would add some rope and loosen others and the suspension would
morph into a whole other position. Midori is very fluid.
I saw a bunch of people I know. Saw Lady J whom I hadn’t seen in years
and she looked great. The guys from Stationhouse were there and they
had cute camouflage swimsuits for women (http://www.stationhouse.com/outpost/womens_items/camo_swimwear.htm).
Also saw Leather By Danny, Rainbow Rope, Details and others.

THE REST OF THE WEEKEND
M Blair presented at Lesbian Sex Mafia on Friday night. She taught all
the safety aspects and techniques of Cutting and then did a demo which
turned out beautifully. I really like the way she teaches – she is very
organized and complete.
After a bite to eat with other LSM folks, I headed over to meet up with
Boymeat and Neptune at the LURE. The LURE was packed! It seems
everyone who came into NYC for the Black Party and Night of 1000
Gowns and showed up at the LURE. We got to see a bunch of people
and catch up with them. It was also a big night for Neptune. Friday
was the last day of his slave contract and the beginning of slave
vacation. How is it that he always ends up uncollared at the LURE
during slave vacation? That drives me nuts. He’s too cute to be loose
at the LURE. At Midnight it was also Neptune’s birthday. He is now
25, which is a great age because that is when your car insurance rates
go down. To celebrate, he smoked cigars with Boymeat.
On Saturday night, I met up with Boymeat at Paddles. There was also
a huge crowd there with many from Bond Con and I had to wait in a line
outside to get in. It was tough finding a spot to play, but we finally did,
and I beat the crap out of him. Floggers. Unrestrained. He would yell
in a primal way and jump up and down. I felt very strong and I hit him
very hard. A few times he sank to one knee, “Get up! I’m not done.”
He would get up and we would keep going. Finally, he collapsed on the
floor sobbing. Oh, yeah.
On Sunday, I work Neptune up early (1pm) and dragged him out to the
TES Party, held at Nutcracker Suite. TES has not played at the Nut in
over a year and much of the place has been renovated. It looked really
beautiful. In celebration of his birthday, I allowed him to pick the scene
and he chose bondage. I took my prettiest rope and laid down a harness
and then layered more over his arms and legs. The colors wove in and he
giggled, remembering our first date four years ago when I tied him up at
Hellfire, “I seem to always inspire you to break symmetry.” I chose some
vet wrap that color-coordinated with the rope and wrapped his head. I
added bungie cords so that he could bounce. We were in the medical
room where I turned off the white lights and kept the blue lights on low.
It looked really pretty. I need to get more bungie cords.

SLAVE TRADE BY SUSAN WRIGHT
Slave Trade by Susan Wright, Book 1 of the Slave Trade Trilogy, published
by Pocket Books will be released in April 2003.
Slave Trade is a provocative new science fiction saga of slavery and
rebellion. Human slaves can’t defy their alien masters – or can they?
Rose Rico never believed the rumors, that the government was secretly
selling human beings to the Alphas in exchange for advanced alien technology.
The idea that human sex slaves were a luxury item throughout the galaxy was
just too ridiculous to take seriously–until Rose found herself, along with
hundreds of other human captives, bound for the far reaches of space, and
compelled to cater to the depraved desires of her new alien masters. As a
rule, pleasure slaves don’t live very long, especially the stubborn ones. But
Rose refuses to give up. Someday, somehow, she’ll win back her freedom-
or die trying!
Susan Wright writes nonfiction books on art and popular culture, including
SM Classics and Destination Mars, and is also the author of nine Star Trek
novels, including Dark Passions 1 & 2, Gateways: One Small Step, Badlands,
and Sins of Commission. Susan is the Spokesperson for the National
Coalition for Seuxal Freedom (NCSF), a national organization that supports
the rights of consenting adults in the SM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory
communities. Info: http://www.susanwright.info

BEST WISHES TO PAT McCARTY
Long time readers will remember me posting occasionally about my friend,
Pat McCarty of New Orleans. About 4 years ago Pat was diagnosed with a
rare form of carcinoid cancer. It is a slow growing type of cancer. Over the
past few years he has taken chemo and radiation treatments and takes daily
doses of medication for the cancer. Two weeks ago he took a turn for the
worse. This type of cancer causes numerous tumors and the tumors have
now infiltrated his spinal cord. They did emergency surgery 2 weeks ago to
remove one of the tumors that was pressing on his spinal cord. At this point
he is still in the hospital and is undergoing rehab. He is wheelchair bound
and unable to walk or stand by himself due to paralysis from the tumors on
his spinal cord. They have hope that he will get some movement back in his
legs…how much they are unsure of since almost every vertebrae in his spine
has these tumors. He starts radiation tomorrow to see if they can shrink the
tumors.
Pat needs the support and prayers of the community. He does not have
email access right now and probably won’t have it for the next couple of
months. If anyone wants to contact him they can do so via his long time
firend, Kristil Thompson at LdyDrkLove@aol.com

TES FEST & NYC FETISH MARATHON
In mid May, New York City’s Fetish and BDSM communities are uniting
to present The NYC Fetish Marathon. This four-day non-stop festival of
alternative sexuality will be anchored by both The Black & Blue Ball X,
kicking things off on Thursday, May 15, and The Eulenspiegel Society’s
3 day kink extravaganza TES FEST, May 16 – 18. Many events, both large
and small, will be happening all over the city during the weekend including
around-the-clock dungeon access to NYC’s most famous public dungeon,
Paddles until the wee hours of Monday morning.
The Eulenspiegel Society, 2003 winner of Pantheon of Leather’s Large
Club of the Year Award, will host TES Fest at The Hotel Pennsylvania.
The hotel, one of the five largest in the City, is located at 7th Avenue at
33rd Street, in the heart of midtown and directly opposite Madison Square
Garden and Amtrak’s Penn Station so it is the single easiest hotel to get
to and find in all of Manhattan. Macy’s, the world’s largest department store,
is one block up the street. The Empire State building is around the corner.
The Theater District is a few blocks away. Prices for TES Fest go up April 1.

Back by popular demand (maybe not so popular but surely demanding…):
The Eulenspiegel Not Til chat room on AOL 10pm-Midnight. NOT a TES
event but an unofficial place online where many TES members and friends
hang out and talk. No set topic. It is a good place to ask questions,
debate the answers, ask and receive advice, compare notes about the
scene, gossip about last week, plan the upcoming week, flirt a little, be
serious and not so serious. On AOL in the Town Square area of the People
Connection in a “member room” – not private: aol://2719:61-2-Eulenspiegel
