ABOUT ARCHER AND
ELEGANT
They will be
presenting:
Rites Of Passage: Earned Leather
There is a growing hunger for traditions to be passed on to another
generation of leathermen and leather women. Whether one is renewing a
tradition or continuing a custom, the passing on and earning of leathers
means more than just respecting our elders. Learn how the leather
culture is not unique in this type of tradition, discuss the importance
of continuing the custom and share experiences of this rite of passage
Are You Being Served
Many people say that it is better to give than to receive. It is equally
as important to know how to receive especially when receiving service
from a submissive or slave. Using role-play, humor, discussion and
historical references this workshop focuses on the importance of
service, on aspects of receiving service without falling on your face in
embarrassment….and how to show appreciation for service received. Note:
This class subject is targeted for Tops and is not a service technique
workshop
ARCHER
Leather, just the
sound of the word gives a sense of the sensual power of treated skins.
As a teen Archer started working with leather, the smell and feel of it
had some primal effect on him. Even then the power images of leather had
a part in his sexual fantasies, but the images of abuse held him back
from exploring them. Leatherwork went by the wayside when he graduated
and then went to Marion Military Institute and earned a Commission in
the Army Reserve. His love of working with leather returned years later.
That, along with the sensual images of his youth, led him to begin in
Dallas, Texas in 1996 what he expect to be a life-long exploration of
BDSM.
Archer’s
relationship with his slave Elegant started in September of 1999 and
prompted him to get more involved with the leather community. He is a
member of MasT-Atlanta, NLA-International,
current VP of The Tribe Atlanta and a business member of NCSF. Archer is
an Environmental Scientist and ‘out’ to his employer.
Since moving to Atlanta in the summer of
2002 Archer has also been working to expand his leather and toy
business, Fantasies In Leather. He provides educational experiences to
groups large and small on subjects ranging from
Fireplay and
Microbondage to Exploring Your Leather Identity and Rites Of Passage.
His dedication to the community and specifically in lifestyle education
is leading him to new experiences.
ELEGANT
Elegant
began her leather journey in Dallas, Texas in 1997 and has been an
active part of the Atlanta community since moving in 2001. She does not
like being identified with a single label, as her identity is a blending
of her life. She is slave to Master Archer, mother to two teens, PTA
volunteer, leather crafter, bootblack, and co-owner of Fantasies In
Leather and TLC Leather Care. Elegant is a member of The Tribe Atlanta,
NLA-I, MAST-Atlanta, Publicity & Marketing Chair for SouthEast
LeatherFest (2004-2007), Southeast Region Publicity Liaison for
Southwest Leather Conference, Board member of International Community
Bootblack, producer of Boot Camp Atlanta and was the creator of the
Atlanta Fetish Flea Market. Her experiences have led her to judging
opportunities at International Community Bootblack competition,
SouthEast Master/slave contest at Together In Leather and other leather
contests. Elegant had the honor of being selected as Southeast Bootblack
2005 at Together In Leather and 1st Runner-Up at
International Community Bootblack 2005.
Bootblacking and
leather care are Elegant’s passions. She considers them services of love
and an art form in which to express herself. She has a kinky love for
extreme clothespin play, deep impact opportunities and all things
flaming and has led education classes on Microbondage and Fireplay and
workshops of the mind with Master Archer. Her dedication to the
community and specifically in spreading a positive awareness of D/s~S/m
is a never-ending path to new experiences.
