Australian Power Exchange Title, Oct 19th

Hi E/everyone,

Even if you've been living under a rock, you'd still have noticed I've been *exceptionally* busy in the last 2 months!

I've done 2 different BDSM conferences in 2 different cities; photo shoots with that photographer then flying into here to do another show... Crazy busy - and loving' it! :D

But certainly, one of the most important things I've done in the way of community work is to bring the International Power Exchange Title to Australia.

In the last few years, we - particularly Melbourne and Sydney - have seen a growth in Leather Title events. This is where prominent scene people are recognized and celebrated by their local BDSM community at events convened to forge greater cohesion and inspire us to strive together. My first experience of this was My title "Sydney Ms Leather 2012", awarded to Me by Sydney Leather Pride Assoc.

When I held workshops and performed at Beyond Leather in Florida in May, they asked Me to be the Australian Producer of their title.

The inaugural Australian Power Exchange Title seeks to

"Celebrate the relationship that makes you feel powerful!"

We sought couples in all sorts of power exchange relationships to show us what they were made of!

Winners received a travel fund to fly to the States to the International Power Exchange Title at Beyond Leather, April 2015.

Therefore, I am VERY proud to announce the winners of the inaugural Australian Power Exchange Title contest in 2014...

They will join Me next year in Florida to compete in the International contest and to forger stronger community ties between Australia and the USA!

It was a huge undertaking to organize the whole event by Myself but I'm very glad to have done it as I'm always looking for new ways to contribute to our wider community. :)

I'm also immensely grateful to My sponsors in Sydney and Melbourne without whom I literally couldn't have run the event. My major sponsors were Sax Fetish, Max Black and Eagle Leather - THANKYOU so much for your support! Of course, a huge thank you needs to go out to all the people on the ground who helped make it such a fabulous night, too.

I am happy to say that I'll enjoy a short break before I dip My toe into My next enterprise for the benefit of our community - at least until the start of next year!

Most certainly, I'll be posting here about the International Power Exchange Title at Beyond Leather in Florida, when I take My winners there in March/April next year!

Best,

MT

PS. STAY TUNED for shots and footage of My fabulous shibari rope bondage show from the Australian Power Exchange Title, coming up very soon!

Workshops, Shibari Demos at Sexpo, Aug 1-3

Click on the banner above to check the Sexpo site!

Hi E/everyone,

I've been asked by Sexpo this year to provide BDSM demonstrations and workshops for their bumper weekend event!

This year Sexpo is on August 1 - 3, Friday to Sunday, at Fox Studios.

If you've not been to one of these events before, it's massive. Imagine stall after stall of sex toys and erotic clothing, porn stars signing autographs and strippers doing shows...

It's about as vanilla as you can get - until I walk in! :D :D :D

If you are at Sexpo and want to drop by the BDSM area, I'll be there 6pm - 10pm Fri and Sat, then from noon - 8pm on the Sun.

I'll be bringing My own equipment to facilitate My demonstrations; a suspension bondage drop point to do shibari bondage and a horse for flogging and spanking.

Here is the program of what I'm offering...

Got rope?

Sexpo BDSM Demo and Workshop program:

Friday: Demos 6pm to 10pm

Workshop 8pm: BDSM 101 - Q&A

 

Saturday: Demos 6pm to 10pm

Workshop 8pm: BDSM 101 - Q&A

 

Sunday: Demos 12pm to 8pm

Workshop 2pm: BDSM 101 - Q&A

Workshop 4pm: Rope Bondage Basics

Workshop 6pm: Spanking and Flogging Basics

When I lived in Melbourne, I modeled for "Marquis de Sade Corsetry", performing in fetish fashion shows at Sexpo for fun. Now as a presenter, I'll look forward to what I can share with Sexpo on an intellectually "stimulating" level. (And let's just say I'm going to blow away any misconceptions about "50 shades of Gray" being anything to do with genuine BDSM...)

Here I am on the "Attractions" page of the Sexpo site - right next to the "Queens of the Outback" drag act! (At last - FAME!! :D)

Click thru to see Me on the Sexpo site...

I'll most certainly be in the minority as a kinkster, but I'm sure that will just draw a lot of attention. Rest assured dear reader, I'll be able to handle that... ;) 

It's going to be huge! I'm looking forward to bringing a high quality of BDSM education to the Sexpo community - as well as some beautiful bondage and intense impact play scenes!

Best,

MT

Wrap up: Sydney Mr & Ms Leather 2014 title!

The new Sydney Mr and Ms Leather 2014!Hi A/all!

As one of My last posts here before I go on holiday, I'd like to congratulate our fabulous winners Lydia Joie Divine and Master Domenic as our community's new SLPA "Mr and Ms Leather" title holders for 2014!

The Sydney Leather Pride Association event was held at Gingers at The Oxford Hotel last month. Apart from being great fun and a total success, it was also My chance to thank our community for having Me as their outgoing Sydney Ms Leather title holder for 2012.

Events and competitions of this nature are so important to champion our members, celebrate our diversity and to strengthen our community spirit!

Handing over the title!

My title was an amazing catalyst to take the opportunity to serve My community. Initially, I went to San Francisco to compete at "International Ms Leather 2012" and was the first international competitor in the then 26 year history of the competition!

I returned to found the "Sydney Fetish League" with Angie Demaskau and Dick Savvy and convene the new title of Sydney Mr and Ms Fetish in 2013. Angie and I also supported Dick to raise donations for ACON in his two fabulous "Slave Auctions" of '12 and '13. I also used My title as a platform to start a rope group, "Rope Flow", to sponsor rope bondage in the Sydney GLBTIQ scene.

I officially take My hat off to Mr Dick Savvy as My "Sydney Mr Leather 2012". He's an amazing inspiration and will continue to be for years to come! We're both people who maintain that just because we've had our time as title holders, it doesn't mean we've excused ourselves from our duty to our community.

Well done to Lydia and Dominic and I'll look forward to seeing your actions as our new community representatives!

Once again, congratulations!

Wrap up for "Oz Kink Fest", with show shots!

Hi A/all!

Long time no blogging! (I just had to have that tantalizing picture of Mistress Satomi at the top of My site for a little bit longer to tease you all...)

I've recently realized just HOW BUSY I've been this year - VERY busy! So much so, I've A LOT I want to share here before I go on holiday over New Year. I've accomplished so much in the latter part of 2013 in particular, that I'd like to wrap up a few of those things...

At the end of September I flew to Melbourne for the Oz Kink Fest! I did a show at the Fetish Expo, held three workshops on different kink topics at Eagle Leather and, as reining "Sydney Ms Leather 2012", was a judge for the inaugural "Australian Master/slave" title contest!

Shuga, My co-performer, and I did a really successful shibari bondage show! (That's us in the matching transparent blue latex up there!)

I was unsure how we'd go as we didn't get a chance to rehearse in the venue before we went on stage - but we aced it! I tied her into suspension in under 6 minutes and, as she spun through different aerial positions, I cut her down with a live blade!

The look on the faces of the local bondage lovers as I cut the blood red, expensive hemp rope with a knife, dropping it to the stage floor with less care, was priceless! I'm ashamed to admit it but I LOVE shocking people - although often not in the way you'd think! ;)

The contest for the "Australian Master/slave" title was small but intense, with all the anticipation and nervous excitement of "International Ms Leather" where I Myself competed over 1.5 years ago!

Into the judging room...

The competition was between four couples - all passionate about the kink lifestyle and eager to talk about what it means to them to be a title holder. The contest was designed to showcase what a Master/slave relationship can be, with the winning couple to be a figurehead of the community to foster growth and accomplishment.

On stage during a speech for the contest

As a judge, I asked questions to draw each couple out about who and how they are as a couple in a power exchange relationship, and how they could assist their community if the won the title. It was tight - with the winning couple taking the title by a narrow margin...

The contestants, judges - and winners!

So, congratulations to Syr Mad Dog and aimizuki (at the front above) as the first title holders of the "Australian Master/slave" title, and My very best for their work for their community over the next year!

I'll be back again soon with shots from My shows from the WA Fetish Ball over Halloween! See you sooner...

Best,

MT

Teaching Adv. Electro on Sun 20th @ Uber!

Just a quick note to say I'm on the workshop trail again - this time in Sydney this weekend!

I'm conducting another installation of My highly successful and somewhat infamous "Advanced Electroplay". I first did this workshop at Uber's weekend-long "The Gathering", back in 2010.

We've revisited it subsequently at different times since that first installation and I'm looking forward to doing it all over again for a whole new audience!

If you are interested in incorporating this into your own play at home - instead of just coming in to see Me - then click though to see the details of the workshop on the Uber site below!

Want to buy tickets? Click above...

In the service of furthering education in My local and interstate kink community - hope to see you there!

See you all sooner, at My boots!
