DarkSpiral -> Great Lakes Master and slave (9/7/2005 8:53:15 PM)
|
Hello all,
We know that some of you have heard this before, but we wanted to cross post the information! Before reading, please keep in mind the following facts:
1) We are actively searching for more contestants for next years GLLA Master & slave competition. For 3 years in a row (or more!), there has only been ONE contestant pair - which is a real shame considering the great amount of serious community members in the lifestyle we have around here. We're including information on the competition to those who may be interested.
2) We aren't posting this to inflate our already enlarged egos. :-) Many in the community asked us to let them know what was going on, so we thought it would be more efficient if we caught everyone at once.
3) We are looking for volunteers. ;-)
So... without further ado:
We have the honor of being named the Great Lakes Master & slave couple for 2005. The GLLA (Great Lakes Leather Alliance) covers Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Kentucky - and is a pansexual bdsm and leather (duh) organization. For those who haven't been thanked personally (we hope that we actually caught everyone, in which case we'd like to thank you again!), we are very grateful for all the wonderful items donated to our auction basket. All proceeds from the basket have gone to the GLLA travel fund, which is used for the sole purpose of, well, travel.
As the GLLA title is an educational one, we are required (an honor, actually) to present at as many bdsm/leather events as possible in the GLLA area... and across the nation if possible. As it turns out, the total proceeds from our basket, and our share of the proceeds from the Master & slave service auction (that took place the same weekend) will barely be enough (probably a little shy of, actually) to cover the entrance fee and travel expense of the International competition in Dallas, TX. So (we're hitting on #3 now), we are asking for ideas for fundraisers in the community. Mind you, we're not asking for handouts... ;-) We ARE asking that if you have a small event or meeting planned, and have an idea for a potential fundraising activity (we are obviously willing to help out!), to drop us a line!
As far as the competition itself, here is the breakdown:
Speech (100 points)
Interview with Judges (150 points)
On-stage question (75 points)
Master/slave dynamic (75 points)
Presentation (100 points)
In addition, each Master/slave contestant pair is required to bring a gift basket for the Travel Fund Auction. The contestant pair may choose to present separate baskets for the Master and the slave.
Any couple (again, pansexual!) that feels that they might even be SLIGHTLY interested in competing next year... we would ask you to drop us a line and we'll fill in the details for the above categories!!!
The main requirements are that you self-identify as Master & slave and that you are in a long term relationship, and that's it!!!
We would like to thank (again!!!) everyone who supported us in preparing for the GLLA competition - including those that did their best (failing sadly) to keep us sane during the event weekend. ;-)
Sincerely,
Master Steve and slave bella
