I’m being joe-jobbed, otherwise known as “sporgery”, wherein some bastard has filled my email address in as a reply-to on about a godzillion spam messages that have gone out.

To be clear, I’m not sending any of these messages, and they’re not coming from my server, and I have no control over these spam messages.

(In a real-world analogy, it’s like a guy in Milwaukee is writing my Vancouver return address on a postcard and then mailing it. The returned mail comes to me because that’s the way the system is set up, not because it came from my city.)

Sorry to all the folks who are getting sporged on. And no, I can’t make it stop.

Scene Auction – February 6th!!!

by luv2beg about 11 hours ago

Metro Vancouver Kink (MVK) is very excited to announce that we will be holding a scene auction at our February party this coming Saturday the 6th. Have you wanted to play with a certain someone but never had the chance? Or maybe there is a particular activity you have wanted to try but so far have been unable to find someone to help you test the waters. Or perhaps you just want to support a non-profit community organization by opening your wallet and bidding on some brave folks!!!

Regardless of the motive we hope you come out and bid on something that strikes your fancy.

Our scene auction will be a bit different than the typical Master/slave auction in that you are bidding on a scene (two-three options usually) with a particular person.

* Date: February 6th, 2010
* Time: 8:30-9:30pm (during our regular play party)
* Place: Capri Hall – 3925 Fraser Street
* Emcee: The fabulous Lady Kona
* Notes: Opening bids are $20 / Each scene will be on the block for 3 mins max / All scenes are a minimum of 30 mins
* All scenes are to be held at MVK on February 6th (Unless otherwise negotiated between the person who was auctioned and the winning bidder. Please also inform a member of the MVK board.)

Sooooooo want to know who you will be able to bid on and what they are offering??? Well of course you do!!! Below you will find each of the 10 participants, a link to their profile and what type of scene they are offering. (Please also note some of the participants have a caveat attached to their offer.)

All participants will have a negotiation prior to the scene and all limits will be honoured.

Lord Braven – Violet Wand or Needle Play

KinkusErgoSum – Needles, Bondage or Resistance Play

kittenbynight – Impact Play (caning, spanking, flogging), Suspension, Knife Play or Wrestling

Elaine – Skill share in any of the following areas – Brat bondage, Topping a novice bottom, Interrogations, Takedowns, Fisting, Role play, Age play, Impact play, Flogging or Caning * This will not be a scene but a one-on-one or one-on-a few workshop where you will have Elaine all to yourself as she teaches you and answers your questions! (Get together with a friend or two and bid on this!!!!)_

Sexncandy – Impact play or CBT or a combination of the two

Skunky – Flogging (female bidders please)

Please arrive at 8pm (when the party starts) to ensure you do not miss the scene you want to bid on! And thank you in advance for supporting MVK, all proceeds will go to the equipment fund

Andie (luv2beg) / President, MVK

Reposting!

Gyno exam table (doctor’s bench, medical table), retro.

Just the thing for your livingroom, dungeon, or playroom! Everyone needs one of these as a conversation piece. Suitable for tattoo work, piercing studios, and for those who just like to play doctor. $200 OBO.

Details:

White enameled metal construction. Sturdy and heavy.

Corded, it plugs into wall socket, and socket (shown in gallery) on side of table becomes live for when you need an extra electrical appliance to bring light, power or that certain zing to your activities.

The table top easily raises on a hinge (just pull up) to form a type of chair back. Adjustable to various inclinations. Release is a foot pedal. Comes complete with a roll of paper, for that fresh clean feeling.

All the drawers and doors open and move easily.

There’s a step at the Doctor end, one presumes for easy mounting of the patient. Um, I mean, patients need to climb onto tables safely!

Catherine White Holman

Please join us in mourning Catherine’s death — by primarily celebrating her life — on Wednesday, Dec 9, at the WISE Hall. Memorial begins at dusk (4:30pm). At 5:30pm we’ll have a candlelight procession to bring Catherine into the hall.

For the rest of the night, there will be live music both sprightly and sad, singing, dancing, revelry, and many chances to share our memories, our sadness, and our joy. Guests are encouraged to come and eat, drink, and be scandalous. Catherine always loved a party. She also loved to be celebrated and she brought joy into so many of our lives. Help us to make her last party an event to remember.

All ages, all welcome. Dress your best. We’ll have tables full of tasty food, and a cash bar.

Donations are welcome to the Catherine White Holman Memorial Fund, and we’ll have a donation jar for those who feel they can contribute. Donations are possible in other ways. For information: donate@sdholman.com

If you have any questions, or wish to volunteer to help in some way, please email memorial@sdholman.com.

========================
What’s Leather Got to Do With It? Leather Fetish, Sex and Soul
Spoken Word Participatory Lecture
Friday, Oct 2nd, 2009

The world of BDSM often speaks of Leather as an identity, or as shorthand for our passions, but what about leather itself? The hides of animals, our second skins, this material that once lived and breathed has inspired erotic explorers for generations… why? From tools of pain and pleasure to the wide varieties of clothing that wrap around our form and conform to our shape with time- we will examine our tough exteriors to find how leather fetish has inspired leather sex, and in turn, leather soul, identity and spirit… and the term “Leather Community” itself. Bring at least one piece of leather with you- be it a piece of your earned leathers if you come from that tradition, your favorite flogger, a tight pair of gloves, your favorite boots, your old friend of a belt, or something else to inspire yourself or others as part of this conversation towards understanding leather as more than a raw material.

Anyone got one of these kicking around, that I can borrow for a day? Mine got stolen on either the second or the third time my shed got broken into last year. (insert eyeroll here)
(The nifty compact kind don’t work on my tiny wee scooter wheels.)

Kona of NubianImp.com is producing this with my assistance. We’re bringing Lee up for a very intensive weekend of D/s theory and practice, in the first weekend of October.  Come stretch your brain with us!
