Dear DominaSmartass, Ladies and Gentlemen; I started overseas, due to being a military dependent and started in my salad days of the lifestyle in the early 1970's. My first steps as a slave and phased into Master. My Masters and my fellow slaves in summary gave me much knowledge and experiences in the 'service' and 'skills.' I became Final Leather and passed my peer's judgment as to be deemed Master. I was publicly invested and received my vest, cover and flogger. I returned to the USA and merged into the Leather community, adding a bit more to my experiences and adjust to the American style of the Leather culture and M/s philosophies. I was invested again publicly at The Baltimore Eagle, as well as pinned. I was voted unanimously as the first woman to be associated with the International Trident's - Baltimore, MD Chapter. I also was a presenter for a well known early Title holder in the Gay Leather community (who was also there at MAL), at his Leather Balls in DC, with thousands in attendance. There, I met so many other wonderful Masters and slaves, finding many in a long lasting friendship. And, you know one of them as he is our mutual friend from NY. Attending MAL, its also a wonderful gathering to meet old and new friends. I was 'called' into a faculty position, taking a spot where my dear and long term friend had taught for several years. (This person met the President of Baltimore Chapter of Tridents that verified my investiture and connections, in addition is well known on his own right); I accepted the position of Faculty with Master Taino's Training Academy; but resigned when I started struggling as a care provider, as a parent perished a day prior to when my class was to start. So, my tenure at the Academy was known to be short with Master Taino's understanding and prior knowledge. I also hold a position with Master Tallen's Leather Corps, at the rank of Major (Honorary Legion) which is dedicated to education. In addition, I still have membership with CUFF, ClubFEM-Virginia Chapter (Female Dominant/male submission); The-Crucible; RECON member (M/s list) as well as other organizations. I have had slaves and lived the lifestyle. I credit and have dedicated my written work in 1997 to my former slaves and a few Masters who urged me to write down what would become certified and registered with the US Library of Congress. But, living as a Master and slave teaches so much where words fail. I also credit riding, driving, showing, training horses as well as judging was a wonderful help in the art of D/s. My rodeo days in trick/target whip work astride and on the floor, riding hunters, jumpers, dressage, side saddle, western riding, cutting and penning added to it. I also gave driving and riding instruction, which I enjoyed teaching. As well as shooting revolvers, semi-automatics, rifles and shotguns also helped. Being military and para-military, martial arts, the legal field and working with and in the courts, added to the D/s experience as each have the exchange of power and or authority and submission and or compliance. Each person one meets will teach you something new and or reaffirm something you've known, regardless of Dominant or slave. If one opens their minds and eyes, listen and or ask questions--there will be something taught. This is done with MAL (Mid-Atlantic Leather conferences); Master-slave conferences and Leather Library & Archives to which I've added to it myself, as have others. I also will add, that Master Taino and Master Tallen do have a Collarme.com account respectively. I do recommend though, to visit the web site and read the more extensive information there, in regard to Master Taino's Training Academy. Master Tallen, is invaluable to Master Taino and a very amazing man and friend. Master Tallen and his former slave andrew created the M/s and or D/s flag. It has taken off very nicely. The M/s and or D/s flag is explained much more fully on www.mastertallen.com and go to the Flag button and then you will have it. The M/s and or D/s pride flag was introduced at the 2005 Master-slave conference in Washington, DC and Master Taino has reference to the flag as well. Respectfully submitted for consideration, Lady Hugs
