I am so excited I am beyond words.

I’ve been asked to pose for the poster for the Folsom Street Fair 2010.

Throw confetti on me!

Congratulations to MasterObsidian and Hisnamaste on being awarded the titles of Southwest Leather Master & Slave 2010.

May you flourish and thrive with this recognition of your dedication and Leather Spirit.

As many of you know, upon my being awarded the Title Ms. San Francisco Leather, it became part of my Titleholder responsibility to represent San Francisco in the International Ms. Leather Competition.

Since 2009 was the first Ms. San Francisco Leather contest in a decade, this is a very exciting and somewhat daunting run I have ahead of me. I am SO grateful to everyone who has extended the hand of help, and am appealing to folks to help us bring the title Back to the Bay! Read more…

We’re all busy.

And lots of us aren’t wealthy.

But if you are reading this, you have the time to send a text message and ten bucks.

You can text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

Description: Excerpted from an oral history with our Emeritus members:

“…We would have impromptu play parties after the bars would close. You got invited and you had to bring $2.00 and a six-pack of beer. It was like somebody would throw a couple of pieces of equipment in their garage and we’d have a fucking S/M party. The last 15 party kind of reminded me of that, a combination of rough sex, crowded leather and a lot of attitude. Whipping and bondage and a lot of people crowded into a room; it’s just like what we used to do. That’s what you got. There’s not really a whole lot of difference between a really good dungeon party in the sixties and seventies and what the 15 does today…

“By the mid-seventies there were no clubs yet but there were parties. Before the 15 Association, there was a group of guys that started a club that was strictly run by the Tops. The Tops would send the boys down to the basement where they would wait and then the Tops would discuss what they were going to do for the night to the boys. Then they would call the boys up, put them in like an arena, and do whatever they wanted to them, and the boys had no say, they had to do whatever the Tops wanted. And did. I don’t know if it was the third or fourth meeting, the boys revolted and said, ‘Fuck you, we don’t want to do this anymore.’ So, that didn’t work. When the 15 started several years later, most of the Fraternal brothers were Tops, it wasn’t a rule, it just turned out that way.

“Pro-doms opened dungeons in the mid-seventies and the Society of Janus was started. The Catacombs opened around the end of 1975. I remember being at the Catacombs for New Year’s 1976. That was quite a place. There was some S/M — and quite a bit of ass play and fisting, but you could truly get some S/M there if you wanted to. There were also fantasy dungeons that you could go to. Some of the founders of the 15 were at Inferno IX in 1979 (Inferno IX was an event put on by the Hellfire Club in Chicago.) They asked the Hellfire Club about starting a West Coast chapter. Hellfire suggested they organize their own group and throw parties because ‘You don’t throw parties on the West Coast.’

“Alexis Sorrell and other men from Janus, the outlying leather community, and the three men that had been to Hellfire that year formed what is now the 15 Association so that they could have a West Coast men’s leather fraternal organization.”

There are older MCs and uniform clubs, but here in the West, there is no older continuously operating men’s leather/BDSM club than the 15 Association.
